Phone list country breakdown: count how many numbers in your list come from each country
In short: Paste numbers or a CSV and get a table of numbers per country, with calling codes and shares, plus a country column per row. Limit: The country is where the number was issued, not where its owner lives or is now.
Paste a list of phone numbers or upload a CSV, and each number is read against the numbering plan to find its country. You get a table of countries with calling codes, counts and each share of the list, plus a country column for every row. Numbers that fail the format check are counted separately.
Price: this tool is free. Live line type and carrier lookups come with Pro + Phone at $49.99/mo; email checking is from $9/mo. See pricing
Used for numbers written without a + code. Numbers with a + ignore it.

Planning outreach for a list that also has email addresses?
- Download the summary or the file with its country column.
- Upload or paste it at /verify. Every address gets a live mailbox check, and the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card.
How do I count phone numbers by country?
- Pick the default country for numbers written without a + code.
- Paste the list or upload a CSV; the phone column is found for you.
- Press the button and read the table of countries, sorted by size.
- Download the summary, or the file with a country column added to every row.
Example
- You enter
- Eight numbers read as US numbers: two US, two UK, one each from Germany, India and Australia, and 555-1234.
- You get
- 5 countries found. The United Kingdom and the United States have 2 numbers each (25.0%), Australia, Germany and India have 1 each (12.5%), and 1 number (12.5%) is not valid.
- Limits
- Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded. The country is where a number was issued, not where its owner is.
What does the breakdown show?
One row per country: the calling code, how many numbers, and the share of the whole list. The last row groups every number that failed the format check, so the shares add up to the full list and you can see how much of it needs fixing.
A second download adds country, calling code, E.164 and a format status to every row of your own file, which is what you need to route the list.
How is the country found?
The tool reads each number with Google's libphonenumber data. A number written with a + uses its calling code. One written without uses the default country you pick, so (415) 555-0132 is counted as a US number unless you choose another country.
Where several countries share a calling code, as the US, Canada and Caribbean nations do under +1, the area code decides. A few codes belong to no country, such as international toll-free numbers, and are grouped as global service numbers.
What is the breakdown good for?
It sizes a list before you plan around it: which countries need a local sender, which time zones to call in, whether a campaign meets the rules of every country on the list. To get a separate file per country, use the phone list segmenter.
Where a country is a surprise, such as numbers from a country you do not sell in, look at the rows before you decide: a wrong default country is the usual cause.
Who uses this tool, and for what?
- Marketers
- Check which countries a sign-up list covers before choosing languages and send times.
- Sales operations
- Size a purchased or exported list by country, then find the country of a single number when a row looks odd.
- SMS teams
- Find out whether a list needs a sender registered in more than one country.
What can’t this tool tell you?
- The country is where the number was issued, not where its owner lives or is now.
- Numbers without a + code are counted in the default country, so a mixed list needs + codes.
- A number that passes the format check may still be unused; nothing here contacts a network.
- Numbering plans change; recently opened ranges can show as not valid until the data is updated.
Common questions
- How does it count numbers written without a country code?
- It uses the default country you pick. A mixed list is counted most reliably when every number has a + code.
- Does it split the list into files?
- No, it counts. The phone list segmenter writes one file per country.
- What are global service numbers?
- Numbers under codes that belong to no country, such as +800 international toll-free numbers.
- Does the country show where the person lives?
- No. It shows where the number was issued. People keep numbers when they move, and mobile numbers travel.
- Does this show a number is active?
- No. It reads the number against its country's numbering plan, or edits text. Nothing here contacts a phone network, so it cannot say a line is connected, who holds it, or that anyone will answer.
- Is my list uploaded?
- No. It is read in your browser and goes nowhere, so a customer list stays on your device.

Well formatted is not the same as reachable.
This tool fixes how numbers are written. It cannot tell you whether a line is mobile, landline or VoIP, or which carrier holds it. That takes a live carrier lookup, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
- Upload a CSV up to 100,000 rows with an email or phone column
- 5,000 live carrier lookups a month: carrier name and real line type
- Emails in the same file get a real SMTP mailbox check
