What File Type can i submit for Bulk Phone Number Validation (Batch Validation / Phone Number List Cleaning)?
We require your file to be CSV. If your data is in an Excel spreadsheet, simply save it as a CSV file and you’re good!
Can the CSV file i submit contain other columns besides the phone number. For example name, street address and so on?
Yes. You can upload csv files with more than one column, there is a facility to MAP columns( if you upload a file with FirstName, LastName, Phone, Email Address then the validated file contains all these uploaded columns data along with validation info.)
Does it matter if my CSV file has a header row or not?
It does not matter, but all of our results include a header row that identifies the data points in each column. Some customers want the rows in their source file to sync up perfectly with the result file rows, so if this is you, you SHOULD have a header row in your source file.
Is it OK if my CSV file has some blank rows in it?
Yes. If your file includes blank rows, they will be processed and we will continue processing to the end of your file. Blank rows are NOT charged as lookups.

Actual process time varies based on your file size. Smaller files (under 10K records) are typically validated within 5 to 10 minutes.

The file you submit can be with or without leading 1’s.
Can my numbers have punctuation like (123) 123-1234?
