Stop Wasting SMS: Real-Time Phone Verification with CheckHim

CheckHim: Real-Time Phone Number Verification for Developers

CheckHim is a developer-focused platform for real-time phone number verification.

We help teams reduce delivery failures, filter out invalid or unreachable numbers, and improve messaging and onboarding funnels.


What We Do

  • Instant validation – format, carrier, line type, and deliverability indicators
  • Fast global response times – resilient infrastructure with low latency
  • Actionable metadata – for routing and risk decisions
  • Transparent API design – consistent error semantics, no surprises

Why We Built It

Too many workflows rely on unverified numbers, wasting SMS, voice, and operational costs.

CheckHim provides a lightweight, modern API so you can decide early whether a number is worth contacting.


Reliability & Privacy

  • Performance – caching layers, regional routing, and graceful degradation (targeting p95 latency under 100 ms in common regions)
  • Privacy – numbers are processed transiently and never enriched with unrelated personal data

🛠️ Developer Experience

  • Clear documentation, sandbox responses, and deterministic test numbers
  • Safe key rotation, environment segmentation (test vs. live), and real-time usage monitoring

Roadmap Highlights

  • Expanded carrier reach & region coverage
  • Bulk asynchronous verification endpoints
  • Webhooks for status-lifecycle changes
  • Optional advanced risk scoring
  • At this moment we are only available in some countries (Brazil, Angola, USA, France, Israel, China, Nigeria, South Africa, Portugal, Kenya and UK)

We’d love your feedback!
