80% of companies say they have «risky» phone contact records. How to make sure you have a quality phone number database and conduct successful telemarketing campaigns?
You need to use a phone validator. Verifying your data, you’ll:
- Increase customer engagement and satisfaction. Having quality, accurate phone numbers, you’ll be able to reach potential customers and provide them with relevant information at the right time.
- Improve employee productivity. Your operators don’t need to spend their time removing fake users or updating inaccurate users manually. They can concentrate on communication with real customers and increase their satisfaction.
- Comply with regulations. When you’re doing telemarketing campaigns, it’s important to make sure you follow specific rules. By validating the numbers of your database, you’ll avoid any regulatory issues.
- Enhance your marketing strategy. Knowing the validation status and GEO location of your contacts, you’ll be able to apply a more effective marketing approach and reach your business goals quickly.
Phone Validation, a handy extension for Google Sheets, meets your needs.
Benefits:

How real-time phone verification works
The service works for both cell phones and landlines, international and local numbers. It analyzes user data online in such countries as:
- USA

The service employs a combination of three methods:
- check for validity: whether a contact is in a valid format (numeric, starts with a valid mobile network or country code);
- line test: inspecting every step during a call (a ringing tone, a busy signal, an automated answer, a mobile operator’s message, etc.)
- database check: scanning a tel number alongside other personal data, e.g. location.
