What Melissa Global Phone Verification is
Melissa Global Phone Verification checks phone numbers worldwide and can append geographic details to telephone records. Its Cloud API verifies numbers from over 230 countries and can add country dialing codes, international exit codes, and national prefixes. It can also return latitude, longitude, administrative area, and language for a telephone line. For North America, the service identifies mobile, landline, and VoIP numbers; Premium checks can determine whether a number is live there. Caller ID information can be returned for 200 countries. The service is available through web and API platforms, with a free plan. API calls use the `/V4/WEB/GlobalPhone/doGlobalPhone` endpoint and accept GET or POST JSON requests. Premium Phone Verification is intended for call centers, list owners, and websites collecting numbers in real time. Premium Mode does not support batch processing and is limited to 5 records per second. Melissa says submitted validation data is generally processed in memory and discarded after validation, and its services use HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and SHA-256 encryption. Business and technical support hours are listed as 6:00AM–5:00PM PST. No price is listed for the Premium plan.
