Phone validation services will automatically lookup the number against the country's number routing rules. A quick syntax check is performed to ensure the phone number is properly formatted and then matched against active line ranges. Once a match is found, the carrier details are retrieved and further analysis can be performed. Using data directly from the carrier (with direct carrier relations in over 100 countries), subscriber information and line status can be identified. At this point, it's possible to determine if the phone number is real, based on an active line connection or disconnected phone number status. Additional phone number reputation checks are performed to analyze abusive history or activity as a temporary and disposable phone number. Quickly analyze users and score leads with an overall phone risk score calculated for every number.
