Number Screening System TG Screening Module Selection Guide: Comparison of Telegram Registration, Activity, Gender, and TGID Export (Including 007data / thdata)

In the cold-start phase of overseas customer acquisition, Telegram number screening is a core step to verify number value and improve outreach efficiency. Whether you’re doing community management, direct messaging promotion, or independent site traffic generation, you need a screening system that can accurately determine whether a number is registered on Telegram, whether it has been recently active, and even identify gender and export TG IDs. Screening systems on the market (such as 007data, thdata, KK-DATA, etc.) differ significantly in their TG screening modules: different definitions of the activity window, whether TGID export is charged, varying accuracy of gender identification… Choosing the wrong platform can waste your budget at best, or lead to data failure at worst. This article provides a horizontal comparison around four key dimensions of TG screening—registration detection, activity detection, gender identification, and TGID export—and offers a practical checklist and pitfall avoidance guide to help you select the screening system that best fits your business scenario.

Why the TG Screening Module Is a Key Selection Point for Overseas Customer Acquisition

Telegram is a super messaging app covering 200+ countries, but the validity, activity, and privacy settings of numbers vary from person to person. Buying ready-made number lists often includes a large number of numbers not registered on TG or abandoned accounts, making messages “invalid outreach.” By batch-verifying the registration status and activity of numbers through a screening system, you can filter out more than 50% of low-value numbers. Going further, gender identification helps operation teams create customized content for female or male users; TGID export allows you to directly use TG IDs instead of phone numbers for direct messaging, bulk sending, or community analysis, improving efficiency.

The differences in how various screening systems handle the above dimensions directly affect your customer acquisition cost. For example, some systems only tell you “whether TG is registered,” not “whether they have been online in the last 7 days”; some require additional payment to export TGID; others have a fixed 30-day activity window, causing you to misjudge dormant users as active. Understanding these differences is essential to avoid selection pitfalls.

Core Function Comparison of TG Screening: Registration / Activity / Gender / TGID

Registration Detection (Verification of Registration)——Focus on Detection Rate and False Positive Rate

All screening systems first determine whether a number is registered on Telegram. Common detection methods include:

  • Real-time detection: Directly interacts with TG servers, returning the latest status. High accuracy but slow.
  • Cache detection: Uses historical detection results or batch queries. Fast, but may miss or falsely report.

007data and thdata mostly use a mixed mode of cache + real-time, while KK-DATA supports real-time detection, automatically selecting the optimal path after task submission. When choosing, focus on:

  • False positive rate: It is recommended to first test with 100 known valid/invalid numbers to compare false positives.
  • Daily detection limit: Some platform packages limit the maximum number of daily detections, with extra charges for overages.
  • Support for re-checking: For ambiguous results, can you re-check individually?

Activity Detection——Window Definition Determines Data Quality

Activity detection is the most valuable and easily confusing dimension in TG screening. Different platforms define “active” as follows:

PlatformCan the activity window be customized?Common default windowDetection basis
007dataNo, fixed 30 days30 daysLast seen time
thdataSome packages support 7/15 days, requires upgrade15 daysLast seen + message behavior
KK-DATAYes, options: 7/15/30 daysCustomizableLast seen time (precise to day)

Difference between “valid” and “active”: Valid only means the number is registered on TG; it might not have logged in for half a year. Active means there is an online record within the last N days. For overseas marketing, it is recommended to prioritize a 7-day activity window for the highest response rate. When selecting, be sure to check if the platform allows you to freely choose the window; otherwise, you may receive many “valid but inactive” numbers.

Gender Identification and TGID Export——The Last Mile from Number to Profile

Gender identification (avatar recognition) and TGID export are advanced capabilities for filtering high-value users:

  • Gender identification: Uses algorithms to determine male/female based on avatar images, accuracy about 70%-85%. 007data only offers gender identification in very few packages; thdata requires additional payment; KK-DATA enables gender identification by default in all TG detection tasks (optional to export) with no additional fee.
  • TGID export: Telegram ID is the user’s unique digital identity, usable for group management APIs or TG direct messaging plugins. 007data only allows TGID export in high-level packages; thdata partially opens it but limits the number of exports; KK-DATA allows TGID export in any detection type, including fields such as phone number, TGID, gender, active days, etc., with support for CSV and TXT formats.

Selection Tip

Different platforms may define “active” differently. It is recommended to first test with a small sample (e.g., 100 numbers) to compare results before bulk purchasing.

Billing Models and Cost-Effectiveness: Pay-per-item vs. Package——Which Fits Your Team Better?

Pay-per-item——Flexible Start, Pay for What You Use

Taking KK-DATA as an example, it adopts a no-subscription, pay-per-item model: recharge USDT (TRC20) into your balance, the system shows an estimated cost before submitting each screening task, and deducts from balance after completion. The advantages of this model:

  • Suitable for early testing and small batch verification (a few hundred numbers)
  • No fixed monthly fee when demand fluctuates
  • Transparent unit price, no hidden fees (see real-time prices in the console)

But note the minimum recharge amount (about 50 USDT), and tasks cannot be submitted when the balance is insufficient.

Package Subscription——Suitable for Stable, High-Volume Studios

007data and thdata mostly use package subscriptions. For example, a monthly payment of $100 may allow 50,000 checks, with extra charges for overages. Package users often enjoy lower unit prices, but need to estimate monthly usage in advance, otherwise they may waste quota or incur overage fees. Key points to note:

  • Does the package include all detection types (e.g., TGID export, gender identification)? Some packages only provide “valid detection”; activity and TGID are charged separately.
  • Is the activity window restricted? The package may fix it to 30 days, not customizable.
  • Does it include deduplication service? Without deduplication, repeated checks will also consume package quota.

Beware of Hidden Costs

Some packages may have low unit prices but limit TGID export quantities or only provide “valid” results (without activity dimension), making the actual effective customer acquisition cost higher.

Practical Steps: Completing a TG Screening Task with KK-DATA (Including Checklist)

  1. Log in to the console: Open https://app.kkdata.cc/, register using Telegram or email.
  2. Create a new screening task: Click “New Task”, select “TG Screening”.
  3. Select number source:
    • Generate numbers: Use global number generation (free, 240+ countries), enter country code and number of ranges.
    • Import numbers: Upload CSV/TXT files, support phone numbers or numbers with international prefixes.
  4. Select detection types: Check “TG Registration”, “TG Activity” (set window 7/15/30 days), “Gender Identification” (optional), “TGID Export” (optional).
  5. Submit task and confirm cost: The system displays estimated deduction count; confirm to submit.
  6. Wait for completion: Task progress updates in real-time, notified via Telegram @kkdata_cc upon completion.
  7. View results and deduplicate: In the “Result List”, view each number’s status, active days, gender, TGID. Use the platform’s built-in data deduplication repository to avoid wasting balance on repeated checks.
  8. Export data: Select the fields to export (phone number, TGID, gender, etc.), click to export CSV or TXT.

TG Screening Checklist:

  • Do numbers include international prefix (e.g., +86)? Some platforms require a uniform format.
  • Have you checked the required activity window? Default may be 15 days; for targeted outreach, choose 7 days.
  • Do you need TGID export? Ensure it is selected in the detection types.
  • Is the balance sufficient? Confirm balance is not less than the estimated cost before submission.
  • Is deduplication enabled? If you have screened the same numbers before, deduplication avoids repeated charges.

Console Experience and Data Security: Where Are the Differences?

Different screening systems vary significantly in console usability and data security:

Dimension007data / thdataKK-DATA
Multi-task concurrencyGenerally limited, tasks queue one by oneSupports multiple tasks running simultaneously (up to 5)
Result viewingOnly list view, hard to filterSupports filtering by status, activity, gender, and displays statistical charts
Dedup repositoryNo independent dedup functionBuilt-in cross-task dedup repository, duplicate numbers not charged again
Data securityUnclear about number storage periodNumbers saved for only 30 days after detection (manually deletable), supports independent destruction
Notification methodEmail or relies on page refreshReal-time Telegram push for task completion

For overseas teams with high compliance requirements, number data storage and deletion policies are crucial. KK-DATA clearly provides automatic deletion after expiry and manual deletion features to avoid customer data leakage risks.

Common Selection Traps and Pitfall Avoidance Guide

  1. Trap: Only shows total registration count, not activity breakdown
    Some platforms only show “registered/not registered” in the result list, with no activity levels. You cannot distinguish which numbers were active 7 days ago vs. 30 days ago.
    Verification method: Ask the platform to provide the last online time or active days for each number.

  2. Trap: TGID export requires additional payment
    Some platforms classify TGID export as an advanced feature, not included in the package, requiring separate purchase.
    Verification method: Confirm before ordering whether “TGID export is included by default in all detection types.”

  3. Trap: Activity window too wide leading to misjudgment
    A fixed 30-day activity window will classify many numbers that “haven’t been online in the last 28 days but were online last month” as active, while actual outreach rates are low.
    Verification method: Manually check the last online time for 50 numbers and compare with the platform’s “active” result.

  4. Trap: Package limits detection types
    After buying a package, you find that gender identification and TGID export require additional payment; actual total cost far exceeds expectations.
    Verification method: Carefully read package details, or request a free trial of full functionality first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does 007data’s TG screening module compare to KK-DATA?

A: 007data provides registration and activity detection, but the activity window is usually fixed at 30 days and cannot be customized; KK-DATA supports 7/15/30 day options, and TGID export is free. Specific unit prices depend on each platform’s console; it is recommended to compare with small samples.

Q: Can thdata export TGID?

A: Some versions of thdata support TGID export, but it may only be available in high-level packages. KK-DATA supports TGID export in all detection types (just select the corresponding fields). It is recommended to check package permissions based on actual needs.

Q: Can Telegram screening detect if a user is online (currently active)?

A: Most screening systems cannot detect “online at this very moment” in real time; they can only judge whether the user has been active within the last N days based on historical last online time or message behavior (e.g., online within the last 7 days). KK-DATA’s “TG Activity” refers to “having an online record within the last X days,” with a customizable window.

Q: Is the TG activity detection result accurate? Could there be false positives?

A: Accuracy depends on the number source and the platform’s detection logic. It is recommended to manually verify 50-100 numbers (e.g., using the TG client to check the last online time) and compare results across platforms. KK-DATA supports sample verification and provides detection logs for judgment.

Q: Is it more cost-effective to generate numbers and then screen them, or to buy ready-made data?

A: Generating numbers is free, but screening charges per item; buying ready-made data may involve a one-time payment but with uncontrollable number quality. It is recommended to first generate a range of numbers via KK-DATA and screen for active numbers. The cost is transparent and calculable, and you can adjust the generated quantity as needed.
