Validating phones list

haimzilber · Feb 8, 2018

Hi,
Is there any way to validate phone numbers list before launching SMS campaign?
My list might have a decent amount of invalid numbers and I don't want to waste money sending messages to dead numbers.

Depends on the country.

This is usually called a HLR lookup.

You need to check about it based on country you are living it.

Thanks buddy.
Have any recommendations for a text message provider? Been researching for a while and i see that the good ones are really expensive (around 8 cents per text).
Regarding the two-way, thought about working with a landing page to gather leads, you think a text back should work better?

As already mention, first step make a HLR Lookup for every number this way you can sort out all inactive numbers which saves you money plus the carrier will not catch you fast sending probably spam messages.
