* Gravity Forms

Key Features

How does it work?

The Phone-Validator real-time validation API provides detailed information for each phone number:
* Status: VALID/CONFIRMED, VALID/UNCONFIRMED or INVALID
* Line type: FIXED_LINE, MOBILE, VOIP etc.
* Geolocation: Region and city
* Phone number correction and re-formatting according to national and international standards

During the entire validation process, the phone number is not contacted in any way, nor will any phones connected to a line ring.

I’m no techie and had issues getting the plug in to work due to my lack of experience but Byteplant customer services helped me get it working and followed up to check everything was working as it should. Great service, great product!

I’ve used this plugin to successfully validate telephone numbers on multiple landing pages. It blocks incorrect / bogus numbers and as a result has improved the quality of leads and reduced the sales team’s workload. It integrates easily with Gravity Forms, so all in all, very happy with the plugin and service.
