Phone Number Verification for a Streamlined Business
Soon there will be more phones than people. That may already be the case. Based on the latest statistics, 7 billion mobile devices are used among 5 billion users worldwide. This is expected to keep increasing since the world population is 7.6 billion.
Smartphone Usage
Smartphones have changed the way we connect with one another in the world. Since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, they have revolutionized the mobile phone industry. Smartphones are used for convenience, entertainment, social interactions, online shopping and conducting business. Smartphones have created new possibilities in every aspect of life.
Mobile Commerce is on the Rise
Mobile commerce is the completion of a transaction on a mobile device. Its use has exploded and is expected to overtake other digital eCommerce platforms in the coming years. In 2017, mobile eCommerce sales accounted for 35% of total eCommerce sales. That number is going to keep growing. Mobile ecommerce sales are expected to reach 54% of sales by 2021. This means user reliance on smartphones will keep growing as well, making them a viable option for identifying individuals without the use of private personal information.
Mobile Phones in Developing Nations
In developing countries, mobile phones are extremely important. They offer connectivity to vital, out of reach services. With micro-payments on mobile phones, users from third world societies can connect to goods and services that they otherwise would not have access to. This means these otherwise disconnected populations are now a part of the global economy.
The Importance of Phone Number Verification
Phone number verification is a way to validate phone numbers as they are collected from different channels. It offers a way to identify customers without the use of sensitive personal data.
