Más informaciónPhone number lookup API pricing that drops as you scale
Your first 20 numbers are free. After that, Dexatel’s phone lookup API pricing is pay as you go, at the same rate in every country and on every network. The rate comes down as your monthly volume grows.
Typical price per lookup by monthly volume
Indicative prices. Your final rate is agreed with our sales team, based on your volume and use case.
What one lookup returns
One check tells you who serves a number, what kind of line it is, and whether it’s live on the network right now. Every field below comes with the lookup, at every volume.
The result shows whether the number is valid in E.164 international format. Correct or drop malformed numbers before they reach a campaign or a sign-up flow.
What a result looks like
One request, one response, in real time. Below is a check on a UK mobile number, with example values.

Carrier | EE |

How you’re charged for number lookups
Your cost comes down to one number: how many checks completed.
You pay as you go for every completed check, including the ones that come back inactive. Invalid formats, duplicate rows and numbers the network can’t answer for cost nothing, and nor does a failure on our side.
Reduce wasted SMS spend with number checks
Phone validation tells you which numbers on your list can receive a message and which network serves them. Check a list before a campaign, or a number before its first OTP, and your spend follows the contacts who are actually there.
Preguntas frecuentes
What counts as a successful lookup?
A successful lookup is a completed check — one where we return a network answer for the number. That includes a number that comes back inactive. You’re not charged when a check can’t complete: an invalid format, a duplicate row in a bulk file, a number the network can’t answer for, or a failure on our side.
Does the price depend on the country?
No. The same lookup rate applies everywhere — what changes the rate is your volume, not your destination. The data available can vary by number, country and network, but the price doesn’t.
Can I check numbers in bulk?
Yes. Upload a CSV of up to 100,000 numbers and the file runs in the background, so you can start it and come back to it. A number listed several times in one file counts as a single lookup.
¿Qué ocurre si falla una búsqueda?
You’re not charged. A check that can’t complete — an invalid format, a number the network can’t answer for, or an error on our side — costs nothing. A completed result showing an inactive number is billable, because the check ran and returned data.
Can I test Lookup before I pay?
Yes. Your first 20 numbers are free, shared across single and bulk checks, with no card required. There’s no sandbox, so those checks run against the live API and return real data. You can also try the free phone validator without creating an account.
Does the Lookup price drop with volume?
Yes. Rates start at $0.006 per lookup and fall to $0.004 above 2 million lookups a month, with custom rates above 5 million. The published figures are indicative and your final rate is agreed with our sales team.
¿Cómo puedo pagar?
Bank transfer, PayPal, and Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link are supported, and USDT through Binance is converted automatically into your account currency. Bank transfer is the usual choice for enterprise accounts.
How much does a phone number lookup cost?
A phone number lookup costs $0.006 per successful lookup at entry volumes, with no separate charge for any returned field. Your first 20 numbers are free. At that rate, 10,000 billable lookups cost $60.
Is there a monthly or setup fee?
No. There’s no setup fee and no subscription. Lookups draw from the same account balance as the rest of your Dexatel usage, so there’s one balance to watch rather than several.
Are carrier, line type and ported status included in Lookup pricing?
Yes. Format, carrier, line type, active status, ported and country all come with the check. None are billed separately, though availability depends on the number, the country and the network.
What is the difference between phone validation, lookup and verification?
Phone validation checks whether a number has a valid structure for its country. A lookup goes further and returns live network data, including carrier, line type and active status. Verification asks the person to prove they can access the number, usually by entering a one-time code.
When should I run lookups?
Check at sign-up before the first OTP goes out — on high-risk registrations such as iGaming, that’s one more signal before you commit. Run a list before a campaign to leave out invalid or inactive numbers, check before routing to catch numbers that have been ported, and recheck older contacts on a schedule, since network status changes. A lookup tells you whether a number can be reached and who serves it; it doesn’t confirm ownership, consent, or that a sign-up is genuine.
