Looking at your api url def, I think you should call:
/api/verify-phone/00980
instead of
/api/verify-phone/phone_id=00980
I also think something is wrong with the url def itself (the ^ before \d):
url(r'verify-phone/(?P<phone_id>^\d+)$', view.VerifyPhone.as_view(), name='verify-phone')
should be
url(r'verify-phone/(?P<phone_id>\d+)$', view.VerifyPhone.as_view(), name='verify-phone')
or
url(r'verify-phone/(?P<phone_id>\d{5})$', view.VerifyPhone.as_view(), name='verify-phone')
