Use Phone Validator API for real-time form validation or Bulk Phone Number Validation for lists.

Using a phone validator API at point of entry can identify disconnected numbers before they enter your ecosystem.

Phone data quality matters only two times: when it is created and when it is used.

The quickest way to improve your conversion rates at both times is to validate the numbers.

What is Phone Validation?

Validation, Verification, Active, Valid – This is Getting Confusing

Selecting a provider for phone number validation can be confusing because many services use the terms valid, active, and connected interchangeably. This can make it hard to compare apples to apples when looking for a phone validator.

See the definitions below to help you determine the best phone validation service for your needs:

Connected / Disconnected: The number belongs to someone and is in service, or it is out of service.

RealPhoneValidation’s Phone Validator is the industry’s most accurate phone number validation service. Accessing live telco data, RPV Turbo makes up to 4 inquiries to provide true real-time connected/disconnected dispositions.

Active / Inactive: The number has been assigned to a phone carrier (does not mean the carrier has assigned to a person) / The number has not been assigned to a carrier.

Valid / Invalid: The number complies with the North American Number Plan Association (NANPA) / The number is not compliant with NANPA.

Phone Number Verification: The most common type of phone number verification is to send a code via a call with a recording or text message, which they would enter into a form before continuing.

Four Key Benefits of Phone Number Validation

Enhanced Connectivity:

Validating phone numbers ensures you have updated contact details for effective customer communication through calls or texts.

Regulatory Compliance:

By understanding the type of phone (landline, mobile, VoIP) you’re contacting, phone number validation helps you adhere to local and federal telemarketing and text message marketing regulations.

Boosted Efficiency:

Verifying phone numbers can accelerate sales and customer service processes, minimizing time spent on inactive or incorrect numbers. Identifying and removing invalid phone numbers from your database helps improve data accuracy, reduce costs, and save time.

Improved Messaging Strategy:

Validate phone numbers to avoid sending text messages to landlines, which makes your text message marketing more effective.
