Phone Numbers

Check country availability

Pre-purchase check, so you can warn BEFORE a customer invests in KYC (regulated review is async, 1-3 days). Tells you whether we have deliverable inventory, and what address the customer needs:

  • addressConstraint: geo → the registered address MUST be in one of the returned areas (the only place we have stock). A different-area address passes pre-approval but the number can never be assigned.
  • addressConstraint: country → any in-country address works.
  • addressConstraint: none → field-only / instant country, no address. Call this before starting the KYC form for regulated countries.

Without an API key it answers from cache only and returns just country, numberType and areaOptions, for building an area picker before signup.

Query parameters

countrystring required

ISO-2 country code.

numberType'local' | 'mobile' | 'national' | 'toll_free'

Check a specific offered type (stock and address constraints are per type). Omitted = the country's default type.

smsboolean

Pass true when the buyer wants SMS: availability, areas, and areaOptions then describe the SMS-capable pool (an SMS purchase orders from it), not the wider voice-only pool.

Response

Availability + address constraint.

countrystring
numberTypestring
availableboolean

Whether deliverable voice inventory exists right now.

preOrderableboolean

Nothing deliverable now, but this pair can be pre-ordered: submit KYC as usual and we buy regular stock the moment it returns, otherwise the carrier sources the number (usually 2 to 4 weeks, never guaranteed). Only document tiers (3/4) qualify.

addressConstraint'geo' | 'country' | 'none'
areasstring[]

For geo only: the area(s) the registered address must be in.
