The phone number type

Note for US phone numbers: The phone enrichment service does not distinguish between fixed and mobile lines, and returns "Fixed line or mobile number" as the type for US landline, cellular, or mobile numbers.

Values:
  • Fixed line: Landline number.
  • Mobile: Cellular or mobile number.
  • Fixed line or mobile: Landline, cellular, or mobile number.
  • Toll free: A telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber (for example, 1-800 numbers in the US).
  • Premium rate: Numbers for telephone calls during which certain services are provided, and for which prices higher than normal are charged. Unlike a normal call, part of the call charge is paid to the service provider, enabling businesses to be funded via the calls.
  • Shared cost: Premium country-specific phone numbers in the UK, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands. These numbers are charged at a higher rate than regular numbers, however call rates are generally lower since the cost is shared between the caller and the business receiving the call. Charges to the caller are typically the amount of a local phone call with the receiver paying the usage rate.
  • VOIP: Voice over IP number, which is a real telephone number assigned to a user, but not to a specific phone line.
  • Personal number: A number associated with a particular person, and may be routed to either a mobile or fixed line number.
  • Pager: A number to send a message to a pager.
    Universal access number: An 8-digit number that telecoms providers use to identify phone lines.
    Voicemail: Dedicated voicemail access numbers that a customer can call to retrieve their voicemail.
