How do I confirm that a phone number is legit, or that it is connected? I want to prevent users signing up with bogus numbers.
Is there a way to programmatically make a call or something? Or find out if the phone is alive, connected?

The only way you can be sure that the phone number is actually connected is to send them a text-message with a unique verification-key and then have them enter that in your web-form.
