How to Begin with Address, Email, and Phone Verification

Here's a summary of the key steps to get new Address, Email, and Phone Verification subscriptions provisioned in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) data center.

1. Order a subscription for Address, Email, and Phone Verification by contacting Oracle Sales. Your subscription will be made in the same data center region as your Oracle Cloud account.

   For details about ordering subscriptions, see Order Oracle Cloud Applications in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud Applications.

2. Add subscription to your Oracle Cloud account.

   You'll receive an email titled “Action Required: Welcome to Oracle Cloud. Please Add Your Subscription(s) to a Cloud Account to Get Started.” Follow the instructions in the email:

   • If you have an Oracle Cloud account, then click the Activate into Existing Cloud Account. We recommend using your existing Oracle Cloud account to manage all your Oracle services.

   • If you need a new Oracle Cloud account, then click the Create New Cloud Account button.

3. Activate your service.

   You'll receive a second email titled “Action Required: Please Activate Your Services.” In the email, under Access Details, click the Create Instance button.

   Sign in with the temporary password listed in the email. You're prompted to change this password. (Temporary passwords expire after 60 days. Contact Oracle Support if you need to request a new password.)

4. Create the Data environment.

   1. On the Oracle Cloud Dashboard, click Create Instance.

   2. You'll see a list of services that can be provisioned. Click Create for the Data service. Data is the cloud service instance that hosts Address, Email, and Phone Verification, as well as Account and Contact Enrichment (also known as Data as a Service).

   3. Enter a name for this instance, confirm your administrator, then click Create.

   4. Click Create again, to confirm the instance details.

5. You (or the person you designated as the administrator) will receive an email titled “Action Required: Your new Data as a Service instance in Cloud Account is ready.”

   In the email, click Access Your New Service.

   On the Oracle Cloud Console, click the Data application to see the Address, Email, and Phone Verification API URL.

6. Create accounts for your users and assign them appropriate roles.

   The following roles are created during provisioning.

   • DATASERVICE_ADMINISTRATOR (administrator access)

   • DATASERVICE_USER (user access)

   • DATASERVICE_CLIENT_API_APPID (necessary for integrating with other applications)

   To add users, see Add Users to a Cloud Account with Identity Cloud Service in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud Applications.

Note: To associate another Oracle Cloud service with both Address, Email, and Phone Verification and Account and Contact Enrichment, they must be part of the same service instance; that is, both services must be part of the same subscription order. For example, if you order Account Enrichment first and later add Address Verification, then you must upgrade your Account Enrichment subscription to include Address Verification, or vice-verse. Account and Contact Enrichment and Address, Email, and Phone Verification cannot be on separate service instances when associating them with the same instance of another Oracle Cloud service.

How to Update Your Subscription

When you need to expand or renew your subscription, you modify it in the Oracle Cloud Console.

1. Expand or renew your subscription by contacting Oracle Sales.

   You'll get an activation email titled: Your service has been updated.

2. On the Cloud Console Dashboard, select your active Data service.

3. On the Overview page, under Service Environments, click the Action Menu to see the actions dropdown list.

4. Select the Modify action.

5. On the Modify page, leave all default values, and click the Modify button.

6. In the dialog, click Modify again to confirm that you want to update this instance.

   You'll get an activation email titled: Your service instance has been updated.
