Twilio's virtual phone numbers give you instant access to local, national, mobile, and toll-free phone numbers in over 100 countries for your voice call and messaging applications. Leverage local phone numbers for your customers to call and text, or use your own number.

To use Twilio Lookup, navigate to Develop --> Lookup --> Lookup a Phone Number on the left navigation pane in the Twilio Console or use the link below. Once there, type in any Twilio or non-Twilio phone number to query information about it and click Run Lookup.

Phone numbers should be formatted with a + and country code, for example: +16175551212 ([E. 164][1] format). Twilio will also accept unformatted US numbers, e.g., (415) 555-1212 or 415-555-1212.
