APIFreaks Phone Validation API
APIFreaks Phone Validation API checks phone numbers against international numbering plans and returns validity details and number metadata in real time.
What APIFreaks Phone Validation API is
APIFreaks Phone Validation API checks phone numbers against international numbering plans and returns validity details and number metadata in real time. It separates structural possibility from whether a number fits the official plan for its country. Results can include the carrier where available, one of twelve line types, geographic location, possible time zones, and E.164, international, national, and RFC3966 formats. Inputs may use an international number with a plus sign or a local-format number paired with a two-letter region code. The endpoint is POST https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/phone/validation. Each successful request costs two credits; 4xx and 5xx responses do not incur a charge, and charged credits are refunded. New signups receive 10,000 free credits without a credit card. Paid options include $50 a month for 600K monthly credits and $100, paid once for 600K credits. The API does not establish whether a handset is on or a subscription is active, and carrier data may show an original operator after a number has been ported. APIFreaks says it offers direct engineer support and a written 99.99% uptime SLA.

Who it suits
It suits developers adding signup phone checks, trust-and-safety engineers, and teams cleaning contact lists before SMS campaigns. It is not a way to confirm that a handset is on or a subscription is active.
Verdict
The API offers number-plan checks alongside useful formats and line metadata, with free signup credits. Treat its results as numbering-plan validation, not confirmation of an active device or subscription.
