Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Verified.net Email & Phone Validation version 1.0.0 as active, updated 14d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
net checks email addresses and phone numbers the moment a form is submitted, and stops the ones that can’t be real before they reach your inbox, CRM or user list.
What it catches
Disposable and throwaway email addresses (mailinator-style inboxes)
Domains with no mail server, and mailboxes that don’t exist
Mistyped addresses, with a “Did you mean …?” suggestion (gmial.com → gmail.com)
Invalid, unassigned and high-risk phone numbers, VoIP numbers and numbers reported for spam calls
Works with
Contact Form 7 (email and tel fields)
WPForms (email and phone fields)
Gravity Forms (email and phone fields)
The WordPress registration form (wp-login.php?action=register)
You decide what happens
Every check returns one of three recommendations: accept, review or reject. By default, reject blocks the submission with a friendly message and review (for example a role address such as info@, or a catch-all domain) is let through. Both are configurable, and so are the error messages.
Safe by design
If the Verified.net service can’t be reached, is out of credits or times out (5 seconds), the submission goes through unchecked. Your forms never break because of us.
Each value is checked once and the answer is cached for 24 hours, so a visitor correcting a mistake doesn’t cost you extra credits.
Submitted values are never logged or stored by the plugin. Cache entries are keyed by a hash and only hold the recommendation.
Pricing
net account and an API key. New accounts include free credits; each email or phone check uses 1 credit. See pricing.
External services
net, to check email addresses and phone numbers. Nothing is sent until you enter an API key.
What is sent and when: when a visitor submits a supported form, the email address and/or phone number entered in that form (and your default phone country) is sent to https://api.verified.net/v1/email or https://api.verified.net/v1/phone, together with your API key. No other form fields, and no visitor IP address, are sent. When you click “Test connection” on the settings page, your API key is sent to https://api.verified.net/v1/account to read your credit balance.
Why: to tell whether the address or number is valid and safe to accept.
