Well, pretty much the only way to guarantee that a number is working is to call it and see what happens. I suspect Ken Rice has some experience in this area and I'd definitely like to hear it. If anyone else has thoughts I'd like to hear them as well. -MC P.S. - Why does the customer think that calling the number and playing a short message will take too long? Also, what is the customer's primary concern about the web leads having non-working numbers? Is it because they have humans manually dialing them and it's a waste of time when the person comes across a bad number? On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 8:40 AM, Sean Devoy <sdevoy@bizfocused.com> wrote:
HI All,****

My web site customer’s call center claims that 1/3 of their web leads have nonworking phone numbers. Short of calling it, is there any way with FS (or even a paid service) to determine if a given phone number is a working number? I would like to make an Ajax SOAP call to a PHP page that checks (or dials) the number and returns a status for the validity of the phone number.****

I have an LUA script that will call, play a short message and hang up, but the customer thinks that may take too long.****

Any ideas?****
