Benefits
Number Verification integration enables reliable authentication without disrupting sign-in. It uses mobile phone data to verify users, offering a frictionless, secure, and convenient experience for app registration and login. The Unified API Access feature provides standardized interface for multiple carrier network capabilities, simplifying implementation across platforms.
Instant, Frictionless Verification
Our Number Verification API provides real-time phone number validation without any user interaction required. By leveraging mobile network operator data, we can instantly verify that a phone number is active and associated with the device being used - no SMS codes or redirects needed. This creates a seamless experience that reduces friction and improves conversion rates.
Enhanced Security
Protect your platform from fraud and fake accounts with our robust Number Verification. By confirming phone numbers are legitimate and actively in use, you can prevent bad actors from creating multiple accounts or impersonating others. Our API checks against authoritative mobile network data, providing a strong defense against spoofing and SIM fraud.
Improved User Experience
Say goodbye to clunky SMS codes and redirect flows. Our Number Verification happens silently in the background, with no action needed from your users. This frictionless process reduces abandonment rates and frustration, creating a smooth onboarding or login experience that your customers will appreciate.
Use Cases
Streamlined user authentication
Traditional social app signups use SMS OTP for phone verification, disrupting user experience. The Number Verification API offers a seamless alternative, authenticating users without interruption. It verifies phone ownership automatically, providing a reliable user identifier. For enhanced security, consider integrating additional APIs like SIM SWAP.
Effortless login and transaction authorization
Many mobile apps require users to prove device ownership (LOA2) for logins and banking transactions, often using SMS-OTP. This method demands user interaction, like copying codes. The Number Verification system offers a more convenient alternative, validating logins and transactions automatically without user input, enhancing both security and user experience.
Streamlined password recovery
Traditional password reset methods can be complex, especially for certain users like the elderly. The Number Verification API simplifies this process by using the network as an identity verifier. This integration allows developers to create a more accessible and faster password recovery system, enhancing user experience and service accessibility.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Number Verify?
Number Verify is a service that allows businesses to validate and verify a user's phone number quickly and securely. It uses mobile network operator data to confirm that a given phone number is active and associated with the device being used.
How does Number Verify work?
1. When a user needs to verify their phone number (e.g., during account creation or login), the Number Verify process is initiated.
2. The service checks the user's device and network information against the mobile operator's database.
3. It verifies if the phone number is currently active and associated with the device being used.
4. The verification result is returned to the business in real-time, without requiring any action from the user (such as entering a code).
What are the benefits of using Number Verify?
Improved user experience: No need for users to manually enter codes or wait for SMS messages.
Enhanced security: Reduces the risk of fraud by verifying the authenticity of phone numbers.
Increased conversion rates: Simplifies sign-up and login processes, potentially leading to higher completion rates.
Real-time verification: Provides instant results, allowing for quicker user onboarding.
Reduced costs: Eliminates the need for SMS-based verification, which can be expensive and less secure.
How does the Number Verify API work?
The Number Verify API is designed to seamlessly integrate phone number verification into your applications or services.
Here's how it functions:
1. API Integration: Businesses integrate the Number Verify API into their applications or websites.
2. User Consent: When a user needs to verify their number, they are typically asked for consent to use their mobile network information for verification purposes.
3. Silent Verification: Once consent is given, the API initiates a background check with the user's mobile network operator.
4. Network Query: The API queries the mobile network operator's database to verify the phone number's status and its association with the current device.
5. Real-time Response: The API returns a real-time response indicating whether the number is verified, typically within seconds.
6. Multiple Attributes: Beyond simple verification, the API can provide additional information such as line type (e.g., prepaid or postpaid), porting status, and more, depending on the specific implementation.
7. Cross-Carrier Support: The API works across multiple mobile network operators, providing a single integration point for businesses to verify numbers on different networks.
8. Security Measures: The API uses encryption and secure protocols to ensure that user data is protected throughout the verification process.
By leveraging this API, businesses can implement a robust, user-friendly phone number verification system that enhances security and improves the user experience.
