## About

## What it does
Phone Carrier Lookup tells you which carrier a phone number belongs to, along with its geographic region, time zones, and number type.

Send a phone number in the `number` query parameter, and optionally set `country` if you need help interpreting the number in a specific country. The response returns the normalized `number`, plus `carrier`, `region`, `timezones`, and `number_type` when they are available.

Use it to validate contact data during signup flows, route support or SMS workflows, or enrich a lead record with phone metadata before storing it. It is a straightforward lookup for developers who need to understand where a number is based and how it is classified without building their own numbering-plan logic.

Because the lookup can return null values for `carrier` or `region`, it fits well in systems that need to handle partial results cleanly and make a decision based on whatever metadata is available.
