## What it is
PhoneInfoga is an information gathering framework for scanning international phone numbers, built in Go. It collects basic data like country, carrier, and line type, then uses external APIs, phone books, and search engines for OSINT footprinting, with a CLI, REST API, and web UI.

## Use cases
- look up who owns a phone number
- check if a phone number exists
- find the carrier and line type of a number
- identify VoIP providers behind phone numbers
- run OSINT reconnaissance on phone numbers
- check phone number reputation and disposable status
- investigate phone numbers for fraud or scam reports

## When to choose
- you need to gather basic info and footprints for international phone numbers
- you want a CLI, REST API, or web UI for phone number OSINT
- you're doing reconnaissance as part of a security investigation

## When to avoid
- you need real-time phone tracking or precise location - the tool explicitly does not do this
- you need verified, guaranteed-accurate data - results depend on external sources
- you need actively maintained software - the project is stable but unmaintained and may be archived
