DOTS GeoPhone Wireless Allows for Comprehensive Coverage of Telephone Number Lookups
in Real-Time with Industry Leading Accuracy.
SANTA BARBARA, CA — April 21, 2008 —
Service Objects, Inc., the industry leader in online
contact validation, today announced the May 30, 2008 release of DOTS GeoPhone Wirelesssm, a complete
solution for real-time wireless telephone number lookup capabilities. As of early 2008 the number of
wireless telephone users will reach a record high of 83%¹, while landline growth has been negative since
2001² with an average landline abandonment rate of 17%¹ in the U.S. This ongoing shift in phone line
usage is increasingly causing problems for traditional sales and direct marketing methods, which
conventionally rely on landline telephone numbers for the collection of contact information and
telemarketing efforts. To combat this problem, Service Objects is releasing the industry’s most complete
and accurate wireless phone number lookup solution: DOTS GeoPhone Wireless.
To date, the majority of reverse telephone number lookup services have been incapable of running complete
searches on wireless telephone numbers, returning match rates as low as 20 percent. Now, with the release
of DOTS GeoPhone Wireless, businesses finally have an effective solution for their wireless telephone lookup
needs. With the use of new and exclusive databases, DOTS GeoPhone Wireless offers the industry’s most
complete wireless telephone number lookup solution, returning match rates of over 50 percent and growing.
"In our business data quality is key," says Jason Scott, CIO of Innovation Ads. "This is especially true for our
niche clientele in the higher education vertical, where part of the challenge is a younger audience that is less
likely to be using landline technology. Implementing DOTS GeoPhone Wireless into our online lead forms
will enable us to ensure the highest level of data quality to our customers, and help Innovation Ads continue
to be the nation's premier provider of online leads and enrollment management services."
DOTS GeoPhone Wireless is a hosted, programmable XML Web service designed to provide the most
complete reverse lookup of wireless telephone numbers available. The service gives customers the ability to
find name and postal address information for U.S. wireless telephone numbers, and delivers contact
validation in real-time. When DOTS GeoPhone Wireless is used in conjunction with DOTS GeoPhone for
landlines, the two services offer the ability to cover the entire spectrum of phone types for reverse phone
number lookups - including landline, VoIP, and now wireless.
When DOTS GeoPhone Wireless is used to validate a wireless telephone number, that phone number is
instantly checked against Service Objects’ extensive data source of over 105 million records, returning an
accurate and validated wireless telephone number and contact information in less than one second.
Furthermore, our wireless telephone number data is updated monthly, with over 1 million new wireless
phone numbers added at every update, providing users with unparalleled wireless contact information.
DOTS GeoPhone Wireless can easily be implemented behind the scenes of a web form, in call centers, or
integrated with any CRM system to help you weed out stale or fraudulent leads and return complete and
accurate contact data for any wireless telephone number.
