Possible Number Status
These statuses cover a range of conditions that phone numbers can have, affecting their ability to receive calls and messages. By using High-Connect filters, we can boost confidence in the accuracy of the phone numbers you request, ensuring they are active and up-to-date.
Active: The phone number is in use and can receive calls, voicemails, and messages.
Inactive: The number is not currently in use, but it hasn't been disconnected. It may still be reserved by the owner.
Ported: The number has been transferred or "ported" to a different carrier or service provider. It's no longer associated with the original carrier.
Busy: The number is currently engaged in a call, and another incoming call may receive a busy signal.
Blocked: Calls and messages from this number may be blocked, either by the recipient or by the service provider due to spam or other issues.
Unreachable: The number cannot be reached at the moment, often due to the phone being turned off or out of network coverage. It doesn't necessarily mean that the number is no longer in service or disconnected; it simply means that, at that moment, the call cannot be completed to the intended recipient.
Disconnected: The number is no longer in service and cannot receive calls. Attempts to call the number will result in a message stating that the number is no longer in service.
