With BeenVerified’s free carrier lookup tool, you can find out if a phone number is a cell, VOIP, or landline, no matter where it’s located. Search any phone number to see which wireless carrier or service provider currently manages it. Our search also identifies numbers by line type such as cellular, landline, VOIP, or pager.
Our international phone validation database allows you to enhance phone number records with globally accessible location data, time zone, service provider, and the number type. Carrier lookups can help you easily determine the geo of a number’s origin.
Using a phone carrier lookup provides valuable insight into leads, contacts, or unknown phone numbers. Numbers that can’t be matched to a carrier may no longer be active. Analyzing carrier data can help to prevent fraud, detect suspicious activity, and reduce the risks of fraudulent chargebacks.
BeenVerified’s carrier lookup tool is available right from your user dashboard, as part of our comprehensive people search and address lookup services. If you want to confirm the status of a phone number or see if it’s currently in-service, our phone number validator can help you confirm this with cross network checks.
A phone carrier lookup helps you double check the network provider that a telephone number is registered to. Our service can look up numbers on common carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Orange, O2, and Vodafone. Carrier lookups offer details about the region tied to the phone, including city, state, country, and time zone. This information is valuable for targeted marketing, user verification, and improving your knowledge of a contact’s likely location.

Processing a phone number through BeenVerified’s lookup connects you directly to up-to-date telecom carrier records. With global reach covering 17 countries, our lookups can quickly pinpoint the current carrier of a number along with FraudScan info which helps to screen risks and prevent phone number fraud. For even more caller details, our Reverse Phone Lookup can help you learn more about the owner behind the number when paired with our person and address lookup datasets.
Our lookup can help you identify what kind of network a number is connected to. Some of the most common types include mobile (cellular), landline, and VOIP (fixed or non-fixed virtual line). When dealing with fixed and non-fixed VOIP numbers, remember that they can be easily required, so they can often carry greater risk for potential fraud.
Need to verify if a phone number can currently receive calls or messages? Use our validator tool to check a phone number’s active status and to see whether it’s based inside or outside the US. Carrier lookup can also supply added information such as the Mobile Network Code (MNC) and Mobile Country Code (MCC) as part of its profile.
