# Number Validator

> How to validate phone numbers using the Wavix portal.

## Overview

The Wavix Number validator helps you reach real customers by cleaning invalid and unreachable numbers from your data. It gives your sales and marketing teams an easy way to validate leads and improve outreach.

This guide walks you through using the Wavix Number validator.

## Prerequisites

To get started, you'll need:

* An active [Wavix account](/getting-started/create-account)
* A list of phone numbers in E.164 format (e.g., +12345678900)

<Note>Number validator is available for [Flex Pro](https://wavix.com/account-levels) customers only</Note>

## Number validation types

Wavix uses the latest international numbering data to quickly confirm if phone numbers are real and reachable.
You can choose from three types of validation: **Format**, **Analysis**, or **Validation**.
