Wanted: Service UK Data Validation service

JMOT · Mar 20, 2012

Hi,

Looking for a quality UK data validation service for integration into lead forms to validate user entries such as postcode & address lookup, phone number active yes/no, mobile valid yes/no + network.

Anyone using such a service would super appreciate a recommendation.

Thanks, Tom

I've not used them myself but http://www.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/ have been at a lot of tradeshows and look like the kind of thing you're after.

I've used postcode anywhere for address lookups, they're pretty quick to set up and certainly helped lift conversions on the site we used it on (non commercial where there was a strong incentive for the user to put their details in). They validate emails based on domain too but not sure about telephone numbers.

I've been looking at validation myself and found these people for checking mobile numbers though not tried it yet - http://www.data-8.co.uk/integr8/services/mobile_validation.aspx - looks like it could be quite a good service but is a bit pricey at lower volumes, but if it means more valid leads it should pay for itself quickly.

Thanks!!

data8 are ones I've also seen/ spoken to

Just seeing who else is around as its for a pretty big project so dont want a shit partner so to speak.

Anyone here used data8?

They are pretty good over the phone so perhaps I should just take a leap of faith
