Can my AI send and verify OTP codes?

Yes. `send_verification` sends the code, then `check_verification` validates the user's response.

Can I check fraud risk for a phone number?

Yes. `score_phone` returns a fraud risk score based on carrier intelligence and historical data.

Can I identify if a number is mobile or landline?

Yes. `get_phone_type` returns whether the number is mobile, landline, VoIP, or toll-free.
