Overview

What is it?

DOTS Telephone Validation (TV) service brings greater insight into who is interacting with your site. Integrate real-time phone verification into your online store, CRM application or other Internet-based business system. It not only verifies each individual contact with a live phone call or SMS message but provides you with the ability to gain further contact information to help you manage your customer lists.

Returns may include the type of phone line being used, the name and address associated with the phone number or even demographic data: in depth information to help assure that your contacts are who they say they are and are true customers or prospects rather than looky loos or fraudsters.

What does it do?

DOTS Telephone VerificationSM works by sending a PIN via phone call or text message to each person interacting with your site. Optional integrated operations add layers of security to online transactions by using contacts’ telephone numbers to gain more information about them.

Why use TV?

Confirm whether or not a telephone is working and associated with the current contact by sending a phone call or text message in response to each individual contact’s telephone number input. Add additional layers of identity verification to minimize bogus orders and reduce charge backs. Append missing contact information for most telephone numbers.
