Overview

What is it?

DOTS GeoPhone (GP) is a programmable XML Web Service that easily integrates with online forms and applications to provide the most accurate reverse-phone lookup information for North American land lines.

What does it do?

DOTS GeoPhone verifies, corrects and enhances contact data in real time. It pinpoints the origin of a call (lat/long), determines line type, carrier and phone exchange information and provides dynamic, top-tier reverse telephone number information on demand. Unlike competing reverse-lookup Web services, it communicates directly with telco data sources, so information is always fresh and up to date; with direct feeds from over 2,600 telephone companies across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Why use GP?

Use DOTS GeoPhone to reduce the length of your online forms and verify the quality of your contact data. Many online prospects turn away from lengthy Web forms.

By integrating DOTS GeoPhone, you’ll be able to keep your form requirements to a minimum. All it takes is a correct phone number to get back the information necessary to fill in partially completed contact profiles (name, address, etc.) However, to achieve the highest level of customer-input accuracy, it is recommended to collect a little more data, such as name and address, in order to cross reference your returns against customer-provided information.
