    Phone authentication

    Hi,

    Has anyone implemented phone authentication similar to what is required on sites such as Craigslist? I think I will be needing something like this on my site in order to minimize spam and unauthorized classifieds. Thanks.

    I have yet to see one implementing it since it may require some telco infrastructure/service to facilitate the sending of validation codes.

    It think this site offers this kind of service for phone verification using HTTP API or SOAP API. Here's the link http://www.onverify.com/ .

    Thanks much. Yes, I found similar sites. The issue is that costs can really run up either unintentionally or maliciously when using a pay per call model. However, it may be a good start. I am trying to hash out ways to verify that the user signing up really does represent the company/person that they purport to be. I am getting closer to some idea albeit it will require manual intervention for now - something I loathe but will probably have to do.

    Thanks again for the assist,

    Rich
