The Number Lookup API Unveiled

At its core, the Lookup API empowers you to determine the status of any mobile or landline number with a simple API call. From live connections to absent subscribers and numbers with no teleservice provisioned, our API provides comprehensive insights. It covers scenarios such as no available network, no coverage, no detected phone number, or inconclusive results, giving you a complete picture of your contact data.

Why It Matters

For businesses relying on precise customer information, the Number Lookup API is a perfect tool to have at your disposal. You can remove inactive numbers and keep your CRM full of quality contact information. By validating your contact numbers, you gain the power to clean up your database, ensuring your communication efforts are focused on active and engaged customers.

On top of this, by removing numbers that aren’t active you are reducing your costs by ensuring you’re only sending messages to active numbers.

Enhancing Customer Engagement

The benefits extend beyond your CRM data and into tangible results for your customers. Consider those crucial moments when you need to reach out to your customers – for delivery updates, appointment reminders, or urgent notifications. The Number Lookup API ensures that the numbers you rely on are not only valid but also active. No more undelivered messages, no more wasted efforts – just smooth and reliable communication.

Optimising delivery routing

Optimised routing is a crucial component of effective communication strategies, especially when leveraging the insights provided by the Number Lookup API. By identifying the carrier associated with each phone number, businesses gain valuable information that can be used to optimise message delivery. With this data, organisations can tailor their routing decisions, ensuring messages are sent via the most reliable and cost-effective channels. Whether it's choosing the best SMS gateway for delivery or selecting the carrier with the highest delivery success rate, optimised routing enhances message deliverability and reduces costs.

Some example use cases

Booking Appointments:

If you need to confirm appointments with clients via a message then using our Number Lookup API, you can verify active numbers at the point you receive them, reducing appointment no-shows and maximising your daily schedule.

Sending Delivery Notifications:

Logistics companies often face the challenge of delivering to unavailable recipients. Our Number Lookup API helps them confirm active numbers, ensuring that delivery notifications reach customers who are ready to receive their packages. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances customer satisfaction.
