SMS

Validate a user's number and send a one time password via SMS to their phone to verify they have possession.

This service is asynchronous

The PhoneMatch OTP delivery services are asynchronous which means you will make an initial call to send the OTP and receive a response and a second call to validate the user's OTP entry against what was sent.
  1. 1.
    Initial Request - Send the phone number with other options via the Initial Request Instructions below and when successful you will receive a response with a template that includes a token value.
  2. 2.
    OTP Validation Request - Send the template returned in the initial request including the token and the user's OTP entry back to the system for final match result.
As part of this process you are also validating the number the user provided since the service will not send to invalid phone lines.
