How accurate is the phone check?
Short version: the check is an estimate. In our test it matched three phone-lookup services in 95 % of cases (the average of the three). We have not measured accuracy against the real phone network, so we do not claim "95 % accurate". Read what the number means below.
The test
- Date: 30 October 2026. Run by: the operator of EverScrape, not by an independent party.
- Sample: 1,000 real US business phone numbers collected from Google Maps with EverScrape.
- Compared with: three phone-lookup services: Veriphone, Leadity and Numverify.
Result
| Country | Numbers | EverScrape's line type matched (average of the three services) |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 1,000 | 95 % |
In this test the differences were only between the landline and VoIP labels: for example, a number one service called VoIP and another called landline. Those are the numbers you filter out anyway, so such a difference does not change which numbers you keep. And for the numbers you actually keep: of the numbers the other services called mobile, EverScrape also called 99 % mobile (for example, 99 out of every 100).
The United Kingdom and Australia are not covered by this test.
What this does not prove
- Agreement with other services is not accuracy on the real network. A number that was ported (moved from a landline to a mobile carrier, or the other way round) can show its original type, and not every service sees ports.
- One country, one day, one sample of 1,000 numbers. Results can differ in your market. Test it on your own list (below).
Why no phone check is 100 %
A phone number's type is not fixed for life, and no data source sees everything. People move numbers between carriers (porting). Carriers sell number blocks to internet-phone and reseller companies. Cable phone lines sit between "landline" and "VoIP", so two good sources can name them differently. Numbers also change hands. Even a paid live lookup only knows what the carriers report at that moment. So a check that is right for almost all numbers, and honest about the rest, is the realistic goal. Be careful with any tool that promises 100 %. We have not tested other tools, so we make no claim that EverScrape is better or worse than they are. What we can say is the measured result above.
Repeat the test yourself
- Get a free key (1,000 leads, no card) and collect leads in your market.
- Pick 200 random numbers from the list.
- Check each one with a live lookup service you trust, or by calling or texting it.
- Count the differences. Send us the result at support@everscrape.net; we will use it to improve the check.

Questions
How accurate is EverScrape's phone line check?
It is an estimate from number-assignment records. In a test on 30 October 2026 with 1,000 real US business numbers, checked against three phone-lookup services (Veriphone, Leadity and Numverify), EverScrape's line type matched in 95 % of cases on average across the three. The differences were only between landline and VoIP labels (numbers you filter out anyway); of the numbers the other services called mobile, EverScrape also called 99 % mobile. The test was run by the operator of EverScrape, and agreement with other services is not the same as accuracy on the real phone network.
Is any phone check 100 % accurate?
No. Numbers are ported between carriers, sold to reseller and internet-phone companies, and some lines sit between landline and VoIP, so no data source sees everything. A tool that promises 100 % is overstating. EverScrape's check is an estimate; the measured results are on this page.
Why not publish one accuracy percentage?
Because we have not measured accuracy against the live phone network, and a number we cannot back up would be misleading. Only a live carrier lookup can see numbers that were moved between carriers.
