  • You buy a pack of credits, then spend them on calls. You pay $40 for 10,000 credits, enough for 1,000 calls. Unused credits expire: the whole balance resets to 0 after a year with no use or purchase.
  • One call. You send its inputs to GET /V4/WEB/GlobalPhone/doGlobalPhone. The call returns whether the number is valid.
  • Anyone can get it. Keep data: with conditions. Use data: as the separate written agreement or license for its APIs sets, which isn't public.
