The IPQS Phone Number Validation API offers rapid analysis to determine the risk core, country of origin, carrier, validity, owner information, and connection status of phone numbers. By using this API, you can authenticate users, improve chargeback defense, and detect fraudulent activities in real-time. It can investigate landline and cellular numbers in over 150 countries, identifying invalid numbers and potential fraudsters.
Perform carrier lookups by API in any region to detect disconnected phone numbers and retrieve important carrier info, including line types, to determine if a number is a VOIP, landline, mobile/wireless, or prepaid line. Cell phone lookups typically have better identity enrichment hit rates. Reverse phone number lookups can also provide a personal or company name associated with a phone number to help validate identity and prevent abusive behavior.
Test IPQS phone number reputation data with our free phone number validator, which can also retrieve spam scores and risk scores. Phone number validation is available through real-time, on-demand phone validation API lookups, with full coverage for international phone numbers.
