Number type (NT) lookups provide means to detect phone number types via API or our modern and intuitive graphical user interfaces. Phone numbers can be submitted individually or in bulk and inspected to reliably determine whether they belong to landline, mobile, premium rate, VoIP, shared cost, pager or other numbering plan ranges.

The submitted phone numbers are processed and mapped against our historical data, information provided by mobile network operators, landline carriers and databases obtained through partnerships built upon our excellent carrier relations.

Number type lookups are suitable to sanitize and validate existing phone number databases, market research, automated phone number checks, or to harden advertisement data sets.
