Overview

Veriphone is a phone number validation API that also returns carrier and line-type details for numbers worldwide. It lets you check if a phone number is real and active, which helps reduce fraud in sign-up forms. Even the free tier supports a meaningful number of lookups per month.

Beginner Tip

Start with the free plan—it includes 1,000 verifications per month, which is plenty for testing. Include the country code as a separate parameter if you are not certain the number has one embedded.
