Validate Mobile Number

I want to have a mobile number validate for my site not just string validations ..what i need is to actually validate the mobile number with the same user exists..

one option i know is to send a pin to that mobile number & ask user to put that pin on form submit to validate ...so are there any ready to use services for this to use it on my website or what i have to do for this ...

If it's not super important that someone can fake their confirmation, then you could look at some of the headers received from the network operator containing the user's number: Can a mobile web application access the devices phone number?

Some push agregattors have APIs for HLR-look up, then you could know if number is right and it is active or off, etc.

You could use http://www.twilio.com/ to call the number and have the person respond (press 1 for ok, 0 for not ok) to your call.

But note that calling the number would work if the number was either a land-line or mobile. If you want to make sure that the number is mobile, then SMS is a good idea.

Twilio has an SMS api too.
