Digicel Phone Number Lookup

How to Identify Digicel Numbers Using Abstract API

You can reliably detect if a U.S. number belongs to the Digicel network by using the Abstract's Phone Number Validation API. The API provides detailed information about any phone number, including the carrier.

Sign Up for Abstract API and Get Your API Key

First, sign up for a free account with Abstract API. You can get your unique API key from your account dashboard after you register.

Send a Request to the API

Use your API key to send a request to the API endpoint. You can do this with any programming language that can make HTTP requests. Here are examples in Python and JavaScript for how to check for Digicel numbers.

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 "Digicel" if it’s a Digicel 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 "Digicel"
});

Interpret the API Response

After sending a request, you will receive a simple JSON object in response. It will look similar to this example:

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

The response contains several fields that provide details about the phone number.

• phone - Provides the phone number in a standardized E.164 format.
• valid - Confirms if the phone number is syntactically correct. The value `true` indicates a valid number.
• Country - Returns the country where the number is registered, which is the "United States" in this example.
• location - Specifies the geographical area associated with the number.
• line_type - Identifies the type of phone line, such as mobile or landline.
• carrier - Shows the mobile network operator for the number.

To verify if the number belongs to Digicel, check that the `carrier` field in the response returns "Digicel".

Why Identifying a Digicel Phone Number Is Important

Identifying a phone number's carrier as Digicel helps ensure communication is routed correctly and enhances security.

• Fraud Prevention - Verifying the carrier helps block spam calls and messages from unverified sources, protecting users from potential scams.
• Accurate Routing - Carrier identification ensures that calls and messages reach their intended Digicel recipient without delays or failures.
• Database Integrity - Accurate carrier information for contacts keeps user databases clean and up-to-date for reliable communication.
• System Compatibility - Knowledge of the carrier allows applications and platforms to enable specific features or integrations for Digicel users.
