Most likely, the sample code cannot connect to Service Objects. Many environments will not allow you to connect out on port 80 or will clip out XML data from these requests/responses.
The easiest way to check for this is to open a browser on the machine running the sample code. In your browser, navigate to: https://trial.serviceobjects.com/pe2
Then try to run one of the operations with your trial key. If you get a browser error, or get no data back, then the sample code isn’t able to connect, either. Contact your systems administrator to resolve why you are not able to connect to Service Objects.

When a single provider match is not enough, providing a 6 or 7 digit (area code + suffix) number will return a list of known providers that can be used for custom logic. If multiple provider matches for a 6 digit number are potentially problematic for your use case, then a simple solution is to check the length of the number before calling the Phone Exchange service and rejecting any numbers that are not 10 digits in length.
