What TrueSearch returns for each number
- ✓Carrier name, so you can see which numbers on your list are on TextNow.
- ✓Line type: mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free, labeled per number.
- ✓Valid or dead, so disconnected numbers are dropped before you dial or text.
- Depending on the data, a TextNow number may show TextNow, its operating company or a wholesale provider as the carrier.
Numbers can be ported between carriers, so a carrier check is a snapshot of where the number is now. Carrier names are shown as they appear in carrier data and can be formatted differently from the brand name.

Questions
How do I know if a number is on TextNow?
Run it through a carrier lookup. TrueSearch returns the carrier name for each number from live carrier data, so ported numbers show the carrier they are on now, not the one that first held the prefix.
Is a TextNow number a cell phone?
Usual line type: VoIP. TrueSearch labels every number as mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free, so you do not have to guess from the carrier name.
Can I check a whole list at once?
Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file; each row comes back with valid, line_type and carrier columns. Starter is $97/month for 5,000 numbers after a 7-day free trial.
