Vonage Phone Number Lookup

How to Identify Vonage Numbers Using Abstract API

A reliable way to detect if a U.S. phone number belongs to Vonage is by using Abstract's Phone Number Validation API. The API provides detailed information about a number, including its 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. The following examples show how to do this with Python and JavaScript.

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

Interpret the API Response

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

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

Here is a breakdown of the key fields in the response:

• phone - Provides the phone number, +15558675309, in a standardized international format.
• valid - Confirms if the phone number format is correct. The value true indicates a valid number.
• country - Shows the country associated with the number, which is the United States.
• location - Specifies the geographical area of the number, in this case, California.
• line_type - Identifies the type of phone line, such as mobile, landline, or VoIP.
• carrier - Returns the name of the carrier. The value Vonage confirms the number belongs to them.

To verify the number, check that the value for the carrier field is "Vonage".
