Verify mobile number

Question

I want the mobile number to confirm not only string checks for my site. I need to actually confirm the mobile number with the same user.

One of the options that I know is to send a pin to this mobile number and ask the user to put this output in the submit form for verification ... so are there any ready-to-use services for this to use on my website or what should I do for this ...

Also let you know if you have other options available.

Answer 1

You can use http://www.twilio.com/ to call a number and answer it (press 1 for ok, 0 for not normal) to make your call.

But note that calling a number will work if the number was either landline or mobile. If you want to make sure that your mobile phone number, then SMS is a good idea.

Twilio also has an SMS api.

Answer 3

Some push agregattors have APIs to search for HLRs, then you can find out if it is correct, and it is active or off, etc.

Answer 4

If it’s not very important that someone can fake their confirmation, then you can see some of the headers received from the network operator containing the user number: Can the device’s phone number be accessed to the mobile web application?
