Phone Signals

Receive key phone signals associated with an individual to flag suspicious activities or validate identities.

Phone Signals enables you to retrieve a list of all known work phone numbers and associated phone metadata of a given contact. Additionally, the work phone numbers themselves will be returned in clear text. These signals will be returned within the phones key.
