With the TNS Number Localization service, potential subscribers can find out for themselves if they are in your serving area or not – without picking up the phone, waiting in a call center queue, or tying up customer service time.

The TNS Number Localization service provides an XML interface directly from your Web site via our API to obtain a published address associated with a specific telephone number, so your prospective subscribers can simply enter their 10-digit telephone number and know if they are in your serving area—without ever having to interact with your staff.

Accuracy and Coverage

The database contains over 114 million names, phone numbers and addresses, and covers the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands; excludes non-published numbers, DID blocks, and ported wireless numbers.

The use of a telephone number instead of an address to determine localization helps lower the possibility of transcription errors by entering a 10-digit telephone number rather than address and reduces “postal scrub” failures associated with addresses.

Reduces Costs and Speeds Customer Acquisition

This competitively priced service helps to eliminate an additional call to your customer care center decreasing operational costs while facilitating and speeding up the customer acquisition process.
