Verified Mobile Phones help you identify contacts with mobile numbers that have been verified through Cognism's verification process. Using verified numbers gives you greater confidence that the contact details are accurate and suitable for outreach.
On-Demand Mobile Verification is available as a premium feature.
What are Verified Mobile Phones?

Verified mobile numbers are:

Request On-Demand Mobile Verification
On-Demand Mobile Verification is a premium feature that allows you to request additional verification for high-priority prospects.
Use this feature when:

To request mobile verification:

After verification, you may see one of the following outcomes:

Frequently asked questions
Does every contact have a verified mobile number?
No. Only contacts with successfully verified mobile phone numbers display the Diamond icon.
Can I request On-Demand Mobile Verification for any contact?
Yes, provided your subscription includes access to the premium On-Demand Mobile Verification feature.
Why wasn't my contact verified?
Verification depends on the availability and quality of data for the contact. If a mobile number cannot be verified, the result may be Improved or No Improvement.
What does Improved mean?
Improved means Cognism found newer or additional contact information but could not fully verify the mobile number.
Are verification success rates the same in every country?
No. Verification success rates vary by region because data availability and quality differ between markets.
For example:
- UK contacts typically have verification rates of around 10–15%.
- US contacts typically have verification rates of around 15–20%.
Actual results vary depending on the market and the data available at the time of verification.
