Completes a number ownership verification challenge started in the dashboard. Submit the code delivered by the verification call. An incorrect code is rejected.
If the verification call could not be started previously, this request can retry it and place another call to the same number. Your organization must still meet the identity-verification requirements for registering verified numbers; otherwise the request returns 412. For an expired or exhausted challenge, use Get a new code under Voice > Numbers in the dashboard to remove and register the verified number again. List verified numbers again to obtain the new registration ID before submitting its code. Number registration and deletion are not available through the public API.
A successful ownership check is retained even when organization eligibility prevents outbound activation. If the verified number's status is verified after a 412 or 503, complete the missing steps or contact support, then resubmit an empty object ({}). The saved proof is reused without checking a code again. While proof is still pending, include the code; an empty object is rejected. A 412 means missing verification steps or an eligibility decision requiring support; a 503 means assessment is pending or unavailable. outbound_enabled indicates whether activation has completed. Outbound calls remain subject to routing and number ownership requirements.
Activation attempts to enable the number's country as a Voice destination. An unavailable country or a failed settings update can leave it disabled. Check Voice > Destinations before calling; see the verified number guide.
Parameters
verified_number_id
string
Verzoekpayload
code
string
The 6-digit verification code read out by the verification call. Required until ownership is verified. Omit it when retrying activation of an already verified number.
Response Payload
id
string
verplicht
Unique identifier for this verified number.
workspace_id
string
verplicht
phone_number
string
verplicht
The phone number in E.164 format registered as an outbound caller ID.
name
nullable string
verplicht
Your label for this verified number, to tell several registered numbers apart. null when the verified number has no label. It is yours to choose and appears nowhere on a call, so changing it never affects what the person you are calling sees. Set it with the verified number update operation.
status
string
verplicht
Verification state of the verified number.
  • pending: the number is registered but ownership has not yet been proven.
  • verified: the workspace proved ownership of the number. Check the resource's activation or direction fields for outbound availability.
  • failed: terminal because the verification challenge expired or the attempt limit was exhausted. Remove and register the verified number again in the dashboard to retry.
Open enum: additional states may be added over time, so treat an unrecognized value as a future state rather than an error.
Possible values (may grow over time): pending, verified, failed
outbound_enabled
boolean
verplicht
Whether outbound caller ID activation has completed. A verified number can remain inactive until activation requirements are met. Outbound calls remain subject to routing and number ownership requirements.
verified_at
nullable string
verplicht
When the verified number was verified. null when its status is pending or failed.
created_at
string
verplicht
updated_at
string
verplicht
