TELUS Phone Number Lookup

How to Identify TELUS Numbers Using Abstract API

You can use Abstract's Phone Number Validation API to reliably check if a phone number belongs to the TELUS network. The API provides detailed information about any number, including the carrier.

Sign Up and Get Your API Key

To begin, sign up for a free account with Abstract API. You can find your unique API key on your account dashboard after you register.

Send a Request to the API

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

Interpret the Response

A successful request returns a JSON object with details about the phone number. The response will look similar to this:

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

The fields in the JSON response provide specific details about the number.

• phone - Shows the phone number in a standardized international format.
• valid - Confirms if the phone number format is correct. The value `true` indicates a valid number.
• Country - Provides the country where the number is registered. In this example, the country is the `United States`.
• location - Specifies the geographical area of the number, which is `California` in this example.
• line_type - Identifies the type of phone line. The value `mobile` means it is a cell phone number.
• carrier - Displays the name of the telecommunications provider for the number.

To confirm the number belongs to TELUS, check that the `carrier` field in the response returns "TELUS".

Why Identifying a TELUS Phone Number Is Important

Knowing if a number belongs to the TELUS network helps in verifying user identity and preventing fraud.

• Fraud Prevention - Verifying the carrier helps confirm that a phone number is legitimate and not associated with a fraudulent VoIP service.
• User Verification - Carrier information adds another layer of validation during user registration or transaction processes, which enhances security.
• Database Accuracy - Maintaining correct carrier information ensures your contact lists are up-to-date and reduces communication errors with invalid numbers.
• System Integration - Systems that require carrier-specific logic can operate correctly when the TELUS network is properly identified.
