FAQ

Does this check whether a number is live or reachable? No. It validates against Google's libphonenumber numbering-plan metadata, so it tells you whether a number is correctly formed and assigned to a valid range for its country and line type. It doesn't ping the network, send an OTP or confirm who owns the number.

Is the carrier the current carrier? It's the carrier the number range was originally assigned to. Ported numbers can show the original carrier, and the field can be empty.

Why is a US number "FIXED_LINE_OR_MOBILE"? In the US and Canada, landlines and mobiles share number ranges, so the metadata can't tell them apart.

Which countries are supported? Every country in libphonenumber, which covers all ITU country codes.
