Phone Number Append
Verify and obtain accurate telephone numbers for your contact records.
Valuable time and resources are wasted on making calls to contacts with wrong numbers, and manually searching for and obtaining telephone numbers for your contacts is a painful process that often yields out-of-date information. Our Phone Number Append service automatically verifies the accuracy of your phone numbers, updates inaccurate records with correct phone numbers, and acquires up-to-date phone numbers for records with missing numbers. Now you can quickly and easily ensure the completeness and accuracy of your list before you execute that telephone follow-up campaign or outbound telesales program.
After running this service, you will receive a result file containing your original input file with the new, corrected data appended to it. Fields are added to your record to store new phone numbers and their verification status. A summary report provides you with statistical data describing your results and a record layout defines field positioning and content.
