Phone Number Identification?

Former Member $organization over 9 years ago

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has used a service to gather information on phone numbers in the database? I've found a couple of services that will tell us if the number is a cell or land line but they look kind of sketchy. Has anyone engaged a service like this?

I am also interested in an actual service for this. When doing some record cleanup, I will use mrnumber.com and hack the URL for just the area code and exchange. EX: http://mrnumber.com/1-503-416 This shows how the number was originally allotted—as a landline or cell phone. -- Mike

Just curious about this...what is the reason for wanting to determine if a number is land or mobile?

For households, a home number typically allows you to reach both spouses while a cell phone is usually one or the other.

Organizations with outbound calling also like to know what kind of number they are calling, though in my consortium no organizations currently do any telemarketing/telefundraising.

The site I currently use for manual lookups is area-codes.com, ex: https://www.area-codes.com/exchange/exchange.asp?npa=805&nxx=899
