About 1-Click Verify
1-Click Verify is the best way to capture a user's real phone number. It works by waterfalling across three channels:
- Autofill: We autofill the user's verified phone number (with no user input!).
- Silent: We silently verify a phone number the user inputted (with no user SMS!).
- SMS: We verify a phone number the user inputted by sending them an SMS with a verification code and/or link.
See coverage for details on how often each of these channels succeeds.
Collecting a user's verified phone number is necessary to use our flagship 1-Click Signup product, so 1-Click Verify provides a powerful and easy to integrate solution.
A user's data is never shared without their consent. We are committed to putting people in control of their own data. We are SOC 2 Type II certified and compliant with major regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, CCPA, and GDPR. For more information, please see How We Operate.

Phone Carrier Compliance
Autofilling verified phone numbers and sending SMS in the US requires onerous compliance reviews by phone carriers. We handle all of this complexity, so you don't have to.
Benefits
- Magically autofill verified user phone numbers: After years of effort, we've implemented a way to autofill verified phone numbers with no user input! This is the best user experience on the planet. Painless, frictionless phone verification.
- Easily verify user phone numbers: 1-Click Verify makes it extremely easy to verify user phone numbers, with minimal integration work.
- Seamlessly integrate with 1-Click Signup and 1-Click Health: Phone verification is the prerequisite for using our flagship 1-Click Signup product, so 1-Click Verify can smoothly flow into 1-Click Signup (which can then flow into 1-Click Health).
Coverage
1-Click Verify works for ~100% of US adults (264M people): anyone with a cell phone! That said, coverage varies across the three channels and depends on some details of your use case and implementation. Use the calculator below to estimate coverage.
Even if the autofill or silent channels only work for a small percentage of your users, they can substantially boost overall conversion (and user delight!) in your onboarding flow, so we highly recommend them.
We currently only cover people in the United States, but we're soon adding new geographies. If there are particular geographies that would be most helpful for your use case, please let us know by emailing Support@Verified.inc, and we'll prioritize accordingly.

Methodology
The autofill and silent channels are available when:
- You can use a cellular (not WiFi) connection. You can force one in a native mobile app, but in a web app you have to use whatever connection the user is on.
- The user's phone carrier supports the channel. Verizon and T-Mobile (and most associated MVNOs) support autofill, but AT&T does not. All three of these support silent. So, about 70% of users have a carrier that supports autofill 100% have one that supports silent.
We estimate coverage (C) for the autofill and silent channels with:
C = S × [N + (W × D)]
Carrier Support: Percentage of users with a carrier that supports the given channel. This is fixed at 70% for the autofill channel (which is a safe assumption unless your users significantly skew toward or away from AT&T) and 100% for the silent channel.
Users on Native Mobile: Percentage of users using a native mobile app (not a web app).
Users on Web (= 100% - Users on Native Mobile): Percentage of users using a web app (not a native mobile app).
Web Users on Cellular (Data): Percentage of users on web using a cellular (not WiFi) connection.
Silent uses this same formula and these same inputs, but with Carrier Support fixed at 100% instead of 70% — AT&T supports silent verification, so carrier is no longer a limiting factor.
The SMS channel doesn't depend on the connection, and all carriers support it, so it's available for 100% of users.
