Illustrative

A code sent to the wrong kind of number is money and trust spent for nothing. Look it up first.

Number lookup tells you what a number is, who carries it and whether it can be reached, before you send a thing.

What you get back

Three answers per number.

Line type, carrier and reachability. Enough to decide what to do before any code goes out.

Line type
Mobile

Is it a phone that takes messages?

Carrier
Carrier A

Which network the number sits on.

Reachability
Reachable

Whether a message can get there.

Before you send

Only send to numbers that can receive.

Number lookup checks line type, carrier and reachability before a code is sent, so the numbers that cannot receive never cost you a send.

  • Run it before a code goes out
  • Skip numbers that cannot be reached
  • Spend your sends where they land
