What is Telegram number screening? How does it differ from regular phone number verification?

Telegram number screening refers to the technical process of batch-checking a list of phone numbers for their status on the Telegram platform, including:

• Registration Check: Whether the number is registered with Telegram (i.e., exists in TG’s database)
• Validity Check: Excluding numbers that are restricted by the platform, deactivated, or otherwise unusable
• Activity Check: Determining if the user has been recently active (can specify windows like 7 days / 15 days / 30 days)
• Gender Identification: Inferring user gender through AI analysis of their profile photo

Regular phone number verification (empty number/carrier check) usually only determines if the number itself is active or deactivated on the network, not whether it is associated with a social platform. The unique value of TG screening: Only numbers that have registered TG and are valid can be reached by you. If you are doing TG group member recruitment, DM promotion, or targeted operations, traditional empty number checks are completely useless.

Difference between TG Registration Check and TG Validity Check

• Registration Check: Confirms if the number is registered on Telegram. Simply a “yes/no” judgment.
• Validity Check: Further checks if the number is in a state to receive messages. For example, numbers banned by TG or deactivated due to long-term inactivity, though previously registered, can no longer receive messages and are considered “invalid.”

Suggestion: When budget allows, prioritize “validity check” over just “registration check,” as sending messages to “invalid” numbers will yield no response.

What is TG activity detection? Why is it important?

Activity detection returns the number of days since the user’s last online activity. For example, if the window is set to 7 days, the system only marks numbers that have had activity within the last 7 days as active.

Importance: Activity directly impacts your DM reach rate. Sending messages to users active within the last month yields much higher response rates than those offline for 90 days. For overseas marketing teams, efficiently filtering “monthly active” users significantly improves ROI.

How to determine if a phone number has registered Telegram?

The operation is very simple:

1. Prepare a list of numbers (supports CSV/TXT format, one number per line).
2. Log in to the screening platform’s console (e.g., KK-DATA App Console), create a new TG screening task.
3. Select “TG Registration Check” or other detection types, submit the task.
4. The system automatically verifies. After completion, you will be notified via Telegram Bot or can directly download results from the console.

Result fields include: phone number, registration status (registered/not registered), tgid (if registered), activity days (if activity detection is enabled), etc.

Can Telegram screening identify user gender? How accurate is it?

Yes, but the principle is based on AI recognition of profile photos, not gender determination from a phone number database.

How gender identification works (profile photo recognition, not number attributes)

The system captures the user’s current Telegram profile photo and uses an image classification model to infer gender. This means:

• If the user has not set a profile photo (default gray icon), identification is impossible.
• If the profile photo is a pet, landscape, cartoon, or other non-face image, the result may be invalid or of low confidence.
• Results are categorized as “Male,” “Female,” or “Unknown.”

How to improve the accuracy of gender screening?

It is not recommended to rely solely on the gender dimension for final decisions. Combine strategies to improve screening effectiveness:

• Combine with activity: First screen for numbers active in the last 30 days, then perform gender identification on those numbers, excluding noise from many inactive users.
• Combine with language tags: Some screening platforms identify language settings in user profiles to cross-validate with gender information.
• Manual exclusion rules: For numbers with logos or landscape profile photos, mark them as “Unknown” without using them as primary screening criteria.

How long does a Telegram screening task take? How to get results?

Task duration depends on two factors: number of numbers and current queue pressure. A single task can submit up to about 1 million numbers. For small tasks of tens of thousands, it typically takes minutes to over ten minutes; for million-level tasks, it may take tens of minutes or longer.

How to get results:

• Telegram Bot notification: After the task is completed, configured users receive a notification message.
• Console download: Log into the console, go to “Task List,” click on the corresponding task to download the result file.
• Export format: Supports CSV and TXT formats. You can select the fields to export (e.g., number, tgid, activity days, gender, etc.).

How is Telegram screening billed? Are there packages or hidden fees?

KK-DATA adopts a no subscription, per-record deduction model:

• Users deposit USDT (TRC20) into their account, minimum about 50 USDT.
• Before submitting a screening task, the system displays an estimated cost; actual deduction occurs only after task completion.
• Different platforms (Telegram / WhatsApp / iMessage …) and different detection types (registration/validity/activity) have different unit prices.
• If the balance is insufficient, new tasks cannot be submitted; you need to recharge first.

Are there hidden fees? No. There are no hidden fees like monthly, annual, or membership fees. Once USDT is deposited, it can be used, and you are charged only for what you use.

Are number generation and screening the same thing? How should I use them?

They are not the same. In KK-DATA:

• Global number generation (free feature): You can randomly generate numbers by country/region or number prefix, or upload custom prefix CSV. Generation itself is free, but the generated numbers need subsequent screening to determine if they are valid and active.
• Screening (per-record deduction): Detects existing numbers (whether generated or imported) and deducts fees after passing checks.

Best practice pipeline:

1. Generate: Use “Global Number Generation” to quickly obtain a list of numbers for target countries (e.g., US +1 prefix, or Indonesia +62 prefix).
2. Screen: Submit the generated numbers to a screening task, selecting the desired detection types (e.g., TG valid + 7-day activity).
3. Export: Download the filtered results for subsequent promotion or secondary processing.

This saves time manually collecting numbers and ensures you only pay for potential targets.

How to avoid wasting balance on duplicate screening? What is the data deduplication warehouse?

Most screening platforms (including KK-DATA) have a built-in data deduplication warehouse feature. Simply put, every number from each screening task is recorded in a global repository. When subsequent tasks submit numbers matching those in the repository, the system automatically skips them (no charge) and only deducts for undetected numbers.

Usage suggestions:

• Before submitting a new task, you can manually upload a number list to the “Data Warehouse” to check the duplication rate.
• If unsure, enable the system’s automatic deduplication option (in the console’s “Data Warehouse” module).
• The deduplication warehouse works across tasks, so even if you submit in multiple batches, you won’t be charged repeatedly for the same number.

What is the use of tgid in Telegram screening results? How to use it with other platforms?

tgid is the unique numeric identifier of a Telegram user (similar to WeChat’s openid). Its uses include:

• Cross-task deduplication: Even if the phone number is the same, tgid ensures you record it only once.
• Subsequent targeted DM: Some automation tools support sending messages via tgid, which is more stable than using phone numbers.
• Integration with other platforms: For example, WhatsApp screening can export wsid. Using these IDs, you can correlate the same user’s behavior on TG and WhatsApp (requires other data processing methods).

For teams doing both TG and WhatsApp promotion, maintaining a “user ID-phone number” mapping table is very useful.

Can using Telegram screening lead to numbers being flagged or banned?

This is a common concern, but it’s important to distinguish: Screening itself is “passive verification”; the system only sends query requests to Telegram (checking if a number is registered) and does not actively send messages or add friends. Therefore, it does not trigger any risk controls for the target numbers.

However, note:

• The detection accounts used for screening (your API source) may face rate limits from TG, but this is a technical issue on the platform side and does not affect your target users for promotion.
• If you use the screened numbers to send large volumes of spam messages, you may violate TG rules, leading to your own account being restricted. It’s recommended to use screening results reasonably and comply with platform regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Telegram screening detect deactivated or restricted numbers?

A: Yes. Through “TG Validity Check,” the system returns whether a number can receive messages. Numbers restricted (banned) by the platform or self-deactivated will show as “invalid,” distinguished from “registered but valid.”

Q: What fields can be exported from screening results?

A: Supports CSV/TXT format. Common fields include: phone number, tgid, registration status, activity days (if activity detection was selected), gender label, etc. Specific fields can be toggled for export on the task results page.

Q: What if my number list exceeds 1 million entries?

A: The maximum per single task is about 1 million. If the list is larger, submit in batches (e.g., 800k per batch). The system supports concurrent tasks, and the deduplication warehouse works across tasks, so no need to worry about duplicate charges.

Q: How long does USDT deposit take?

A: Generally, TRC20 transfers arrive within 1–2 minutes, but delays may occur during network congestion. It’s recommended to save the transaction hash for verification. If it hasn’t arrived after a long time, contact customer service.

Q: Can I use KK-DATA screening on mobile?

A: The console is web-based, and all functions are accessible via mobile browsers. However, large-scale operations (like uploading tens of thousands of numbers or downloading results) are smoother on a computer. Small queries are fully usable on mobile.
