Sign Up and Get Your API Key

Sign up for a free Abstract API account to get your unique API key from the dashboard.

Send a Request to the API

Use your API key to send a request. Below are examples in Python and JavaScript for checking a number.

Python Example:

import requests

response = requests.get(
"https://phonevalidation.abstractapi.com/v1/",
params={"api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "phone": "+15558675309"}
)
data = response.json()
print(data["carrier"])  # Will print "Bell " if it’s a Bell  number

JavaScript Example:

const axios = require("axios");

axios.get("https://phonevalidation.abstractapi.com/v1/", {
 params: {
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  phone: "+15558675309"
 }
}).then(response => {
 console.log(response.data.carrier);  // Should output "Bell"
});

Interpret the API Response

After sending the request, you will receive a JSON response that looks like this:

{
  "phone": "+15558675309",
  "valid": true,
  "country": "United States",
  "location": "California",
  "carrier": "Bell",
  "line_type": "mobile"
}

Here is an interpretation of the fields in the response:

• phone - Provides the phone number, +15558675309, in a standardized international format.
• valid - Confirms if the phone number format is correct. In this case, the value is true.
• country - Returns the country associated with the number, which is the United States.
• location - Specifies the geographical location of the number, which is California.
• line_type - Identifies the type of phone line. The example shows a mobile number.
• carrier - Shows the name of the carrier that owns the number.

To confirm the number belongs to Bell, check that the value for the carrier field is "Bell".

Why Identifying a Bell Phone Number Is Important

Knowing if a phone number belongs to the Bell network allows for better communication routing and service compatibility.

• Network Compatibility Verification - This check confirms if a device or application is compatible with the Bell network, which prevents potential connectivity issues for users.
• Optimized Communication Routing - Proper identification allows for the most efficient routing of calls and messages, improving overall communication quality and speed.
• Fraud Prevention - Verifying that a number belongs to the Bell network helps identify and block fraudulent activities like spoofing that often target specific carriers.
• Service Customization - Carrier knowledge enables the delivery of specific services or content that are technically optimized for or exclusive to the Bell network.
