The phone verification API is currently in a beta state. It can be used in production but may be adjusted and improved. Please let us know if you wish to use the service so that we can keep you up-to-date on any changes being made.

The Phone Verification API acts to verify a supplied number through a process which involves syntax and range checks prior to a network check for a connection status. The API returns the verified number, line type, connection status and other metadata.
