# VeriRoute Intel

> Phone number intelligence for two audiences: everyday people who want to know
> if an unknown call or text is safe (Lookup Pass, our consumer product), and
> developers/platforms that need real-time CNAM, LRN, carrier, and spam data by
> API. All data is read live from the North American phone network.

## For consumers: an unknown number called or texted you

Lookup Pass is our consumer product for one moment: a number you don't
recognize called or texted, and you want to know if it's safe to answer.

- The one thing to understand: caller ID names can be faked by anyone, for
  free — the name on your screen is typed in by the caller. What can't be
  faked is which phone company actually services the number. That's what
  we check, live, at the moment you look it up.
- First check is free, no signup: https://verirouteintel.com/free-lookup-tool?utm_source=llms&utm_medium=ai
- Lookup Pass: $19.99/month (50 lookups,
  plus monitoring of your own number — spam-label, port-out/SIM-swap, and
  text-enablement alerts; watched numbers are re-checked on a rolling monthly
  cycle with email alerts when a check finds a change). Family plan:
  $29.99/month watches up to 5 numbers (yours and your family's):

  Month one is split into two payments: $1.99 at signup and the $18.00
  balance a week later. This is a payment plan, NOT a free trial or a
  discounted rate that later increases — the price is $19.99/month throughout.
  Cancel anytime, one click:

- We are NOT a people-search or background-check service. We answer "is this
  number safe to answer" about calls YOU receive — we don't profile people,
  and our data may not be used for FCRA purposes (credit, employment,
  housing, insurance decisions).
