Phone number lookups provide more details about a phone number. This can include the phone number subscriber's name as well as the carrier, location, and line type of the number. Distinguishing between a landline and a mobile or cellular number can be useful to check if the phone number is a personal or business number.
Number lookups can also determine if the phone number is associated with a virtual number such as VOIPs.
