Bulk Phone Number Validator - Format, Country & Type

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the owners of any website, service or document it processes.

Clean a list of phone numbers before you dial or store them. For each number you get whether it is valid and possible, the country and calling code, the line type (mobile / fixed line), and the number reformatted to E.164, international and national styles - powered by Google's libphonenumber, the same engine Android uses.

Runs locally with no network calls and no anti-bot target, so it is fast and costs a fraction of a cent per number.

What each field means (honest about the limits)

Field	Meaning
valid	Passes libphonenumber's full validation for its country (length + prefix rules)
possible	Has a plausible length for its country (a lighter check than valid)
country / countryCallingCode	ISO country (e.g. US) and calling code (+1)
lineType / isMobile / isFixedLine	MOBILE, FIXED_LINE, VOIP, TOLL_FREE, … where the country's metadata allows
e164 / international / national	The number reformatted - +14155552671, +1 415 555 2671, (415) 555-2671
uri	tel: RFC-3966 URI

This is format + metadata validation, not a live carrier lookup. It confirms a number is well-formed and assignable for its country and gives its likely type - it does not ping the carrier to confirm the line is active or reachable (that needs a paid HLR/carrier-lookup API). That is exactly what you need to clean and normalise a list before sending it anywhere.

Input

{
  "phones": ["+14155552671", "415-555-2671", "+442071838750"],
  "defaultCountry": "US"
}

• Phone numbers - one per line. + international numbers validate as-is; national-format numbers use the Default country.
• Import from a file - paste a whole list, or link a public .txt/.csv, a Google Sheet/Drive link, or an Apify key-value-store record.
• Default country - the country to assume for numbers written without a +.
• Output fields - tick only the columns you need for a lean export.

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• Number validated - One phone number validated with libphonenumber: valid/possible, country and calling code, line type (mobile/fixed), and E.164/international/national formatting.

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Available through the Apify MCP server - an agent can validate and normalise a batch of numbers to E.164 before writing them to a CRM or sending messages.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready - AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server - no account, no API key.
• Skyfire - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/phone-validator').call({
    "phones": [
        "+14155552671",
        "415-555-2671"
    ],
    "defaultCountry": "US"
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.
