What is reverse phone append?

Most users now have a phone number tied to them—the majority of them being mobile numbers. Do you know how much the numbers tied to these devices are worth for your business? While a phone number can provide you with the means to reach a customer via a quick call or text, it can also unlock key data insights into your consumers, too.

Experian’s Reverse Phone Append (RPA) solution allows businesses to discover a person’s name and postal address information in real-time after entering a phone number into the system. With this additional set of data, it’s easier to connect who your clients are and how you can best reach them—bringing you one step closer to delivering a seamless experience.

How does Reverse Phone Append work?

Reverse phone append is an API solution that assists businesses in quickly identifying key consumer data with access to just a single identifier— a phone number. How does it work?

First, you use a phone number input via API, or a list of phone numbers in batch. Then, the service outputs a matched individual's name and address in real-time. As a bulk solution, we can also append back associated emails.

Now, with just a single, fractional identifier, you’re able to create a complete identity for a consumer. It’s that easy!

Powered by trusted data, Reverse Phone Append is offered in two ways:

Bureau service: after receiving a list of customer phone numbers, a name and address is appended to this database and sent back in batch.

Real-time API: after entering a customer’s phone number in real-time, a name and address are auto-filled in a form and verified with the consumer.
