Verify Phone Number Status

In a world of automated systems, business processes, and online transactions, verify phone number status for businesses to understand their customers. In fact, the more accurate a company’s contact data is, the more successful their business operations will be.

To help companies standardize and validate their data, iDenfy offers a global API that can check and confirm whether or not a phone number is valid and active in 240 countries while also providing valuable insights on a given number’s history and reputation. This verification API can be seamlessly integrated at the point of entry to websites, PoS, call centers, CRM systems and more.

How to Check if a Phone Number is Connected or Disconnected

Adding phone-based identity checks can be helpful for any business that rely on mobile phone usage such as app-based marketplaces, transportation or delivery services and payment platforms. However, it’s important for these businesses to clearly communicate with their users about the use of their personal information to manage trust and expectations.

One common way to verify a phone number is to send a one-time passcode (OTP) through SMS or an IVR call. This OTP is a code that a user must type into an application or website to prove their identity and complete the registration process. This type of verification is a simple and widely available security measure. In addition, most Android devices display a green check mark on calls that have been verified by the STIR/SHAKEN attestation system. This gives consumers confidence that they are receiving a legitimate call and helps mitigate the risk of robocalls.
