SaskTel Phone Number Lookup

How to Identify SaskTel Numbers Using Abstract API

Using Abstract's Phone Number Validation API is a reliable way to detect whether a U.S. number belongs to SaskTel. The process involves getting an API key, sending a request, and interpreting the data returned.

Sign Up and Get Your API Key

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

Send a Request to the API

Use your API key to send a request to the validation endpoint. The following Python and JavaScript examples show how to check a phone 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 "SaskTel" if it’s a SaskTel 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 "SaskTel"
});

Interpret the API Response

After sending a request, you will receive a simple JSON object with details about the phone number. A typical response will look like this:

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

Here is what each field in the response means:

• phone - Provides the phone number in a standardized international format.
• valid - Indicates if the phone number format is correct. The response value of true confirms the number is valid.
• country - Shows the country where the number is registered, which is the United States in this example.
• location - Gives the geographical location associated with the number.
• line_type - Specifies the type of phone line. The example shows a mobile number.
• carrier - Identifies the telecommunications provider.

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

Why Identifying a SaskTel Phone Number Is Important

Knowing if a phone number belongs to the SaskTel network helps improve communication accuracy and prevent potential connection issues.

• Network Compatibility Verification - It confirms that a number is part of the SaskTel network, which helps avoid failed messages or calls due to network-specific limitations.
• Fraud Prevention - It helps identify potentially fraudulent numbers by verifying their carrier, which adds a layer of security before you initiate contact or transactions.
• Geolocation Accuracy - It provides more precise location data associated with the number, as carrier information can help narrow down the geographical origin of a phone line.
• Communication Routing - It ensures messages and calls are routed correctly through the proper channels, which improves delivery rates and connection quality for SaskTel users.
