# Get only the mobile numbers you can text

**Use case:** 

Takes a contact list and returns only the numbers confirmed to be mobiles, so an SMS campaign never burns credits on landlines, switchboards or repeats. Numbers in the United States and Canada are deliberately excluded, because no offline data can tell a US mobile from a US landline.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk Phone Number Validator & Cleaner: Carrier, CSV or Sheet](https://apify.com/nerolabs/phone-number-validator.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/nerolabs/phone-number-validator.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
