A Phone Verification Service performs real-time active/inactive identification to verify phone numbers as they enter an organisation’s system. It also batch cleans current phone numbers that are already in a database to ensure numbers are live and callable. It appends country code, international exit codes and national prefixes for 240+ countries to allow verification for unregistered phone numbers and locates their region. In addition, a phone verification tool can identify the number type, like mobile, landline, VoIP, etc., specifies the country that the number belongs to, and geocodes specific locations of that number.
