How many phone numbers are invalid or disconnected?

On 2026-11-12, 0% of the 5,703 numbers checked on the 1Lookup platform matched: that is the share of checked numbers coming back invalid or disconnected.

Every completed lookup on 1Lookup, 2026-11-12 (UTC). See the full briefing for that day.

What usually pushes this number up

  • list age, since roughly a tenth of US mobile numbers change hands each year
  • typed-in numbers from web forms with no validation at the point of entry
  • purchased lists that were compiled once and never re-verified

What brings it down

  • lists validated at the point of collection rather than before the campaign
  • recently collected first-party data
  • a batch that had already been scrubbed elsewhere
