Fonebook supports this use case by enabling access to a real-time view of phone number ownership, giving clients the confidence that they are contacting the correct customer the first time, even if they have changed their device, provider, or phone number. Clients can use Fonebook's Read and Trust Score APIs to look up all verified and current phone numbers and associated line types in Fonebook.
