Use cases

Phone validation use cases

One lookup tells you whether a US or Canadian number is mobile, landline or VoIP, which carrier serves it after porting, whether a carrier deactivated it recently, and whether it can take a text. Add the TCPA litigator scrub for 1 credit, or the state DNC and complainer checks for free. Which fields matter depends on what happens next: a dial, a text, a lead sale or a new account.

By industry

Each page shows which fields to read, what to do with them, and what it costs at your volume.

By job

What one lookup returns

The same response serves every page above. Each audience reads different fields.

  • Line type Mobile or landline, with VoIP as sub-type IPES.
  • Current carrier From a live carrier dip, after porting, with OCN and LRN.
  • Recent deactivation Carrier deactivations in the last 45 days.
  • Send-or-not verdict action and reason for SMS lists.
  • Text-enabled landlines About 7% of landlines we check can take a text. +1 credit on landlines.
  • TCPA litigator Flag, type and on-record name. +1 credit.
  • State DNC and complainers Free. Each check says whether it ran.
  • Location and time zone From the contact's IP if you pass it, else the area code.
