Phone Number Verification when Register. How to do it?

Hello.

I am using nopCommerce 3.50 with Default Clean theme.

I see there are many fake registrations coming... I do not like.
And it will be more reliable being sure that the customer enters his real phone number.

So, I want a customer to verify his phone number by receiving SMS-code. Then he inputs that code and clicks verify, then he continues registration.

Is it possible? Are there any solutions for free (SMS)? :)

If you can do it, Please, contact me by Skype: zaf.su

Thanks for any help in advance.

If you want to stop fake registration you can enable CAPTCHA and there are also some other ways. https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/20176/urgent-regarding-fake-customers-registration.aspx and https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/20218/fake-customers-registering-to-the-website.aspx?p=3 can help you.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to be sure a customer enters his real phone number in case I want to call him and speak for example...

I understand Zaf. For this you need to do change some code or need to develop plugin so far I know there is no free plugin that can solve your problem.

There is a settings in admin panel. Admin approval for registration. By using this you can do such kind of thing.

Thank you for mentioning that function. But I knew this.

It will take much time to approve a lot of registrants.

Again, I want to make sure that a customer uses his real phone number because there are some cases when I might need to call him and ask for some delivery or payment details.

Honestly, don't you think it is much better to have e-mail validation (admin>configuration>settings>customer settings>customer settings>Registration Method>E-Mail Validation)? The right e-mail is more useful than having the right phone number. If you insist as explained above you will have to do customization work, for which the e-mail validation plus the SMS plugins can serve as a model for your purpose

If you really want to validate phone number. You can use services like twilio.com to send verification SMS to customer and customer need to confirm registration by security code.

I also think you will not find a free solution, but I think this plugin does exactly what you want:

If it is really a big problem for you, then $40 is a cheap solution.

Customer Mobile Number Verification using OTP (One Time Password) on Registration and on Mobile Number change event, with themable front-end view template.
