Checks a telephone number for validity.
The service returns a code indicating the status of the telephone number. This code can be one of the following values:
In normal circumstances you should only receive the first three status codes. If you receive one of the final three status codes,
we will investigate the cause and attempt to ensure it does not happen again, and you will not be charged for the query.
This service is not appropriate if you require an absolute indication that a telephone number is valid for a particular individual. In
those circumstances, you should consider the use of a telephone number capture service.
