KenyaThe Disposable Phone Number Checker API by APIVerve detects whether a given mobile number (including international numbers and Nigerian +234 prefixes) belongs to a virtual, temporary, or burner VoIP provider. It returns detailed carrier metadata, line type classification (mobile, VoIP, landline), and a boolean disposable flag.
In Nigeria, fintech platforms, crypto exchanges, and lending apps face significant fraud from burner numbers used to farm signup bonuses or bypass KYC. This API allows developers to verify phone authenticity before dispatching SMS OTPs.
