ZOHO Phone Checker extension
The Phone Checker extension automatically verifies whether a phone number and email address are real or not. It works with standard Zoho CRM modules: Contacts and Leads. Zoho Phone Checker verifies the phone numbers of new Leads and Leads created or modified today.
The extension verifies the phone numbers of new Leads and Contacts entered in the Phone and Mobile fields. The verification result is displayed in the Phone Status and Mobile Status fields.
A country code setting has also been added: if you enter the country code, the program will automatically insert the country code into the phone number during verification.

Zoho Phone Checker FAQ
I created a Contact (Lead). Why is the phone number status taking so long to update?
The status can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours to update! You may also have reached your Zoho CRM API call limit.
Why isn't the contact status updating after changing the phone number?
Change the Contact/Lead's phone number, refresh the page, and you'll see the phone number status. The request is being processed, and after a while, the phone number will be verified, and you'll see one of the possible statuses: Genuine, Fake, Unknown, or Out of Limit.
