Identify Phone Number Line Type with Twilio Lookup to Alert Customers over SMS or Voice
Blog post from Twilio
A demo was built to check if a phone number is a landline or mobile and send an instant alert as a voice call or SMS depending on whether the device is a landline or mobile. The demo uses Twilio's Lookup v2 API to determine the line type, which can also provide additional information such as carrier and caller name.

The demo was tested using API Explorer in the console by triggering the Studio Flow with a phone number that has access to.
