How it works

tyntec’s Phone Verification is a web service that responds with information related to phone numbers to provide actionable insights for brands to ensure their customer records are accurate, improve success rates for customer outreach, and guard against bad actors.

Connected to real time and up-to-date data sources from mobile operators, national regulators, industry associations and other validated partners, the Phone Verification API makes it simple to

integrate the service directly into any stage of the customer journey, from sign-ups to customer service and engagement campaigns. As an open standards API (REST), it provides complete programmability to implement the verification features for unintrusive user experiences.

Delivered as a web tool, in addition to the API, brands can also access the service simply by uploading a list of phone numbers in the  tyntec Business Center and download the verification results.

Sign-up Forms

When a new customer fills out your contact form with a phone number. Make it easy for the customer to see errors and correct them on the spot to ensure accuracy of your customer records.

The API will also identify high risk phone numbers so that you can make informed decisions about fraud prevention and journey design for users with different risk profiles.

Callback Requests

When a customer fills out your contact form with a phone number to request a callback. Improve callback success rates by detecting errors and determining reachability of the phone number while the contact form is being filled out by the customer.

By knowing the mobile operator that’s servicing the phone number, you can even trouble shoot in case of a failed attempt to call back.

Data Health Checks

When a brand checks customer data before sending special offers or recommendations. Proactively remove bogus phone numbers from your customer outreach to keep your customer records accurate.

By enriching your audience profiles with channel capabilities (texting, voice-only) and fraud risk, you can improve campaign RIO and protect brand reputation.
