Verizon Phone Number Lookup

How to Identify Verizon Numbers Using Abstract API

Abstract's Phone Number Validation API provides a reliable method for checking if a U.S. phone number belongs to the Verizon network. The API returns detailed information about a number, including the current carrier.

Sign Up and Get Your API Key

First, you need to sign up for a free account with Abstract API. Once registered, you can find your unique API key on your account dashboard.

Send a Request to the API

Use your API key to send a GET request to the API endpoint. Below are examples in Python and JavaScript that 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 "Verizon" if it’s a Verizon 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 "Verizon"
});

Interpret the API 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": "Verizon",
 "line_type": "mobile"
}

The fields in the JSON response provide specific information:

• phone - Shows the number in the standard E.164 format.
• valid - The `true` value indicates the phone number has a correct format.
• Country - Identifies the country where the number is registered.
• location - The `California` value specifies the state associated with the number.
• line_type - The `mobile` value confirms the number is a cell phone line.
• carrier - Names the telecommunications provider for the number.

To confirm the number is a Verizon number, verify that the value for the carrier field is "Verizon".

Why Identifying a Verizon Phone Number Is Important

Knowing if a number belongs to the Verizon network helps in optimizing communication strategies and ensuring compatibility with specific services.

• Network-Specific Promotions - This allows businesses to tailor marketing campaigns exclusively for Verizon customers, potentially increasing engagement and conversion rates.
• Service Compatibility Verification - It confirms if a user's device or service plan is compatible with certain Verizon-exclusive features or applications before activation.
• Optimized Routing - This information enables systems to route calls or messages more efficiently within the network, which can reduce latency and improve delivery success.
