Phone number API lookup FAQ
Bandwidth’s Number Lookup API provides carrier identification and number data like line type and country to help you make the most out of your number database.
Bandwidth’s number look-up API is for businesses looking to gather end-user number intelligence. It cannot be tried for free by individuals for personal use cases.
At this time we are only pulling from the US. If you are interested in international number lookup, please let your Bandwidth representative know.
Many number databases have no way of validating that a number is capable of receiving messages or if the number was entered correctly. Lookup helps you know ahead of sending which numbers aren’t capable of receiving SMS, allowing you to improve your deliverability rates.
See our pricing page for details.
Simply contact your Bandwidth representative or request to talk to an expert.
Our phone number API returns the following information:
- E.164 formatted telephone number
- Formatted telephone number
- Country
- Line type (e.g. wireless vs wireline)
- Line provider
- Mobile country code (if applicable)
- Mobile network code (if applicable)
Our API lets enterprise users identify the network behind phone numbers. Carrier lookup has a variety of business uses such as determining differences in throughput, types of use cases allowed, filtering rules, and better predict cost when messaging via 10DLC.
Bandwidth’s number lookup API will not fit with individual number lookup use cases.
