Carrier lookup features

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.

Understanding phone carrier lookups

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.

Determine number type: cell, landline, or VOIP

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.

Want to Confirm If a Number Is Active?
