This telephone number validation web service allows you to program your web servers to initiate telephone number validation phone calls.

Explanation of service   ( The term "listener" refers to the person answering the phone. )

The service will make up to four postings of the request to the url which you provide. The response url posted backs to your server will be in the following format:

or you may see this sequence of responses

The service is initiated using the http GET or POST methods passing all request information through POST form values or as GET url encoded parameters. To demonstrate the service we have created the form below which can be used as an example. Webmasters and programmers can use this example as a tool to fabricate and precondition the request url. Please understand the form below are the tools you can use to create the urls that you will subsequently deploy within your own applications. When you click the submit buttons below a seperate page will launch using the url that you should embed into your application.

When you sumit a request the system will respond with an telephone validator id as follows:

TVID=189

This will help you to tie all of the transactions together as well as your application specific session ids, caller ids, phone numbers and pin codes.

The service can call a phone number, and upon answering, greet the listener with a message. This message can be a voice recording of your own creation or you can elect to use our TTS voice synthesis engine. The examples below use our TTS engine. Our TTS service is fee based. You can feed your own recorded messages into this system by providing urls to the wave files you have created.
