What is the rate limit for requests?
It's recommended that you perform no more than 10 POST requests per second, with each request containing no more than 100 TNs.
How is Phone Number Lookup billed?
You'll be billed for each successfully requested number. If a phone number is successfully requested multiple times, you'll be charged for each instance.

You can review your billing details for this service by downloading your Phone Number Lookup Billing Details Records (BDRs).
