Increase acquisition safely with phone number data

Vonage's Number Insight API lets you identify billions of phone numbers around the world and determine the best way to reach your customers using fresher data from real-time sources. Increase acquisition, assess risk, prevent fraud and block fake accounts – all without relying on customer input.

Nexmo is now called Vonage, but there are still references to Nexmo in our URLs, code snippets and message templates.

This API helps you to...

Keep your database up to date

By periodically validating the numbers in your customer database, you can be sure that customer numbers are still reachable, reducing delivery errors when running SMS or voice-based marketing campaigns.

Use the right channel

Validating information enables you to distinguish mobile from landline numbers – ensuring that you don’t try to send text messages to landlines if reaching out via SMS.

Minimize fraud

By asking your customer to provide a phone number – and then validating the legitimacy of that number – you can minimize fraud while ensuring that you have a way to contact that customer in the future.

How it works

You can validate numbers from any location in the world, so you can be sure you have accurate information regardless of where users are using your app. Your app can ask users to enter a phone number during registration or you can identify existing numbers in your customer database.

Your application passes the phone number to Vonage's Number Insight API for analysis. Number Insight queries multiple information sources to validate and gather information about the number. Vonage's Number Insight returns information on the phone number to your application so you can remove unreachable numbers and identify valid numbers as mobile or landline.

What our customers say

“After working with several cloud communications partners that provided inaccurate and pricey solutions, it was refreshing to find Vonage. We were able to fit our app’s logic with their flexible Number Insight API, giving Mobyquest the ability to chose which insights we want to receive and which ones we’d rather do without. We also required a solution that would work seamlessly with the same level of accuracy as we expand operations across Europe, and Vonage truly delivered.”
