Phone validation inside every chat

Your AI agent verifies phone numbers and retrieves formatting details through Veriphone, catching invalid entries and enriching contact records in real time.

Verify Phone Numbers

A customer submits their phone number during a conversation. Your AI agent sends it to Veriphone's verification endpoint and receives validity status, carrier name, line type (mobile, landline, VoIP), and country information. Invalid numbers get flagged instantly.

Detect Carrier Information

The agent identifies which telecom carrier operates the number. This carrier data helps route SMS messages through optimal gateways and flags numbers from carriers known for high spam rates.

Identify Line Types

Veriphone classifies numbers as mobile, landline, VoIP, or toll-free. Your agent uses this classification to determine whether to send SMS, initiate a voice call, or request an alternative contact method based on the line type.

Format Numbers Internationally

The agent normalizes phone numbers into E.164 international format regardless of how the customer typed them. Local formats, country-code prefixed numbers, and various separators all resolve to a standardized format for your CRM.

Generate Example Numbers

When building test flows or validating input fields, the agent generates example phone numbers for any country and line type through Veriphone. Developers get properly formatted sample numbers without searching documentation.

Validate Regional Formats

The agent cross-references the phone number against its claimed country code to confirm regional validity. Numbers that do not match their stated country or have incorrect digit counts get rejected before reaching your database.

Use Cases

Contact data validated at the point of collection

See how businesses use AI agents with Veriphone to verify customer phone numbers, enrich contact records, and maintain clean communication channels.

Real-Time Lead Phone Validation

A potential customer provides their phone number during a chatbot qualification flow. Your AI Agent sends the number to Veriphone, confirms it is a valid mobile number on a major carrier, and stores the E.164 formatted version in the CRM. If the number is invalid or a known VoIP line, the agent asks for an alternative. Only reachable phone numbers make it to the sales team.

SMS Campaign Pre-Screening

Before launching an SMS campaign, a marketing manager asks the agent to check a batch of phone numbers. Your AI Agent verifies each number through Veriphone, identifying which are mobile (SMS-capable), which are landlines (not SMS-capable), and which are invalid. The manager removes non-mobile numbers before sending, improving delivery rates and reducing wasted messages.

International Number Standardization

A support agent collects phone numbers from customers across 15 countries. Customers type numbers in local formats with varying separators and country codes. Your AI Agent sends each number through Veriphone, which returns the standardized E.164 format along with the country name and carrier. Every number in the support database follows the same format regardless of how it was originally entered.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What information does Veriphone return for a verified phone number?

Veriphone returns the validity status, phone type (mobile, landline, VoIP, toll-free), carrier name, country name and code, and the number formatted in E.164 international standard. The agent presents this data conversationally or stores it directly in your systems.

Can the agent validate international phone numbers?

Yes. Veriphone supports phone number validation for countries worldwide. The agent accepts numbers in any common format including local, E.164, and country-code prefixed variants. It identifies the country and applies region-specific validation rules automatically.

What is the example phone number feature for?

The get example endpoint generates properly formatted sample phone numbers for a specified country and line type. This is useful for testing input validation, building demo flows, or providing format hints to customers who need to enter their number in a specific format.

How does the agent handle invalid numbers?

When Veriphone returns an invalid status, the agent informs the customer that the number could not be verified and asks for a corrected number. The specific reason for failure, such as wrong digit count or non-existent area code, helps guide the correction.

Does Tars store phone numbers validated through Veriphone?

No. Tars sends the phone number to Veriphone's API and returns the validation result within the conversation. Phone numbers and their associated carrier and location data are not cached or stored on Tars servers.

What authentication does the Veriphone integration require?

You provide your Veriphone API key from your account dashboard. The key is passed as a query parameter with each request. No OAuth setup or multi-step authentication is needed.

Can the agent distinguish between mobile and landline numbers?

Yes. Veriphone classifies every validated number by type: mobile, landline, VoIP, or toll-free. The agent uses this classification to determine the best communication channel. For example, it can automatically route SMS only to mobile numbers and suggest voice calls for landlines.

How is this different from basic regex phone validation?

Regex validation only checks formatting patterns. Veriphone performs carrier-level lookups, confirming the number is assigned to a real telecom provider in the correct region. It catches numbers that look valid in format but do not actually exist or belong to a different country than claimed.
