Telegram Number Screening FAQ: The Ultimate Guide – 10 Questions & Answers (Including Google AI Integration & Tool Comparison)

If you work in overseas marketing, cross-border e-commerce, or community management, you’ve definitely encountered this scenario: you have a batch of phone numbers but don’t know which ones have registered Telegram accounts or are still actively using them. Or you want to target specific genders for promotions but have no way to filter them. Telegram number screening is the core technology that solves these problems. Through TG screening, you can batch-verify whether numbers have opened Telegram accounts, check recent activity, and even identify user gender via profile photos, allowing you to precisely target your audience.

This TG screening FAQ ultimate guide uses a Q&A format to systematically answer questions about functionality, billing, tool selection, common misconceptions, and more. It also shares how to use Google AI to analyze screening results, helping you improve efficiency throughout the entire process from data to customer acquisition.

What is Telegram Number Screening and Why Do Overseas Teams Need It?

Telegram number screening, in simple terms, is batch-verifying whether phone numbers have registered with Telegram (account existence check) and further determining their activity status (valid/active) and user attributes (gender identification). The key differences from ordinary number verification are:

• Ordinary number verification: Only checks if a number exists on a certain platform (e.g., verifying if a phone number is registered with an app).
• TG screening: Not only verifies registration status but also returns tgid (Telegram user ID), last active time, and gender inference data. This information is crucial for precision marketing.

Why can’t overseas teams do without it? Suppose you are promoting e-commerce in Southeast Asia and have 100,000 numbers on hand. Without screening, you might send bulk SMS or make calls – high cost, low efficiency. With TG screening, you can quickly eliminate unregistered numbers, filter out users active within the last 7 days, and then push different campaign copy to male and female users – your conversion rates will improve significantly.

What Dimensions Can Telegram Number Screening Detect? (Account Existence / Valid / Active / Gender)

Current mainstream screening tools support multiple detection dimensions, each corresponding to different business scenarios. Let’s break them down one by one.

What Do Account Existence, Valid, Active, and Gender Mean?

• TG Account Existence: The most basic check – confirms whether a number has registered for Telegram. Suitable for basic number cleaning.
• TG Valid: Goes a step further than account existence. Besides confirming registration, it verifies whether the account is in normal usable status (not banned, not deleted). Ensures that messages can be delivered.
• TG Active: Detects whether the account has had any activity in a recent period. Common active windows are 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc. The higher the activity level, the more likely the user will see and reply to messages. If your goal is to acquire highly interactive users, activity detection should be a must.
• Gender Identification: Uses AI models to infer the user’s gender based on visible information such as profile photos. This feature is already available on some screening platforms (e.g., KK-DATA) and is very practical for teams that need gender-targeted advertising or group operations.

What’s the Value of Exporting tgid?

tgid is the unique numeric ID Telegram assigns to each user. The value of exporting tgid lies primarily in:

1. Precise targeting: Many API calls in Telegram’s open platform require tgid (e.g., sending messages to a specific user, muting, kicking from a group).
2. Reverse lookup tools: You can use tgid to look up a user’s group join history, posting frequency, etc., for deeper user profiling.
3. Direct message delivery: Combined with Telegram Bot API, you can bulk-send custom messages to screened tgid users, enabling automated DM marketing.

Therefore, the ability to export tgid in screening results reflects the professionalism of a tool.

How to Choose a Telegram Number Screening Tool: Core Dimension Comparison (Including 007data, thdata, etc.)

Common screening tools on the market include KK-DATA, 007data, thdata, etc. While we are not promoting a single brand, we can provide you with an objective evaluation framework to help you choose based on your needs.

Billing Models: Pay-per-Number vs. Subscription – Which Suits You Better?

Comparison Dimension	Pay-per-Number	Subscription
Cost Logic	Top up balance → deducted per detection, pay for what you use	Fixed monthly/yearly fee, usually includes a certain quota
Flexibility	Task size adjustable anytime, stops when balance runs out, no waste	Low – unused quota may be wasted, extra fees for overage
Cost Transparency	Estimated cost shown before task, each deduction traceable	Hard to precisely control cost per task
Suitable Scenarios	Small teams, uncertain testing periods, fluctuating task volumes	Stable task volumes, large teams with long-term heavy use

Recommendation: If you’re just starting with TG screening and aren’t sure how many numbers you need per month, a pay-per-number plan is recommended. For example, KK-DATA uses this model – you top up and freely choose detection volume, with a low entry barrier. Subscriptions are better suited for teams with clear budgets and stable daily task volumes (e.g., studios detecting 50,000+ numbers per day).

Differences Between Tools in Detection Accuracy, Export Formats, and Console Experience

• Detection Accuracy: Depends on the tool’s underlying technology – cannot be judged solely from marketing copy. You can verify accuracy by running a small test (e.g., uploading 100 known numbers). Industry standard is generally above 90%.
• Export Formats: Mainstream tools support CSV and TXT exports. Some tools also export Excel files or allow custom fields.
• Console Experience: A good console should offer task progress bars, pause/rerun features, historical task queries, and data deduplication. 007data and thdata each have strengths; 007data excels in number generation, thdata is stronger in WhatsApp screening; KK-DATA stands out with multi-platform support (Telegram/WhatsApp/iMessage/RCS) and data deduplication warehouse.

The 5-Step Process for Telegram Number Screening Using KK-DATA

To give you a clear idea of how to get started, we’ll walk through the complete process using KK-DATA as an example. Steps for other tools are similar and can be referenced.

Step 1: Register, Log In, and Top Up Visit the KK-DATA Console, create an account. Then top up your balance using USDT (TRC20), minimum about 50 USDT. Note: before topping up, check the Billing Page on the official website to see detection unit prices for each platform.

Step 2: Prepare Your Number List You can prepare numbers in two ways:

• Upload your own CSV or TXT file containing numbers in international format (e.g., +86138xxxx).
• Use the platform’s built-in global number generation feature: select a country (supports 240+ countries/regions) and number segment to batch generate random numbers. Generation is free; only screening incurs charges.

Step 3: Create a Screening Task Enter the “Telegram Screening” module in the console and upload your number list. You can select the detection type:

• Only detect account existence: cheapest, suitable for limited budgets.
• Detect account existence + activity: recommended for high conversion goals.
• Detect account existence + activity + gender: the best combination if you do targeted operations.

In “Detection Settings,” you can specify the active days window (e.g., active in the last 7 days). The console will show an estimated cost before the task. Confirm and submit.

Step 4: Wait for Task Completion The task queue will show progress. Once completed, KK-DATA will send a notification via Telegram (must be bound in advance). You can view detailed reports in “Task History,” including statistics like account existence rate, activity rate, gender ratio, etc.

Step 5: Export Results Click “Export,” and choose CSV or TXT format. The exported results include fields for each number: tgid, gender, active date, etc. You can then import them into your CRM or use them directly for DM delivery.

Combining Telegram Number Screening with Google AI: Boosting Customer Acquisition Efficiency

Screening tools solve the problem of “who are real users,” while Google AI helps you solve “how to make good use of this user data.” Here are two practical scenarios.

Using Google AI to Analyze Gender and Activity Distribution in Screening Results

Suppose you’ve exported TG screening results containing gender and activity fields. You can import them into Google Sheets, then use Gemini (with the Gemini plugin in Google Sheets) or Google Apps Script for statistical analysis.

Steps (Simplified):

1. Import the CSV into Google Sheets.
2. Create new columns to count gender distribution and activity intervals (e.g., 0-7 days, 8-30 days, 31+ days).
3. Use Google Sheets’ COUNTIFS function to count numbers in each interval, then use Gemini’s “Analyze data” feature to automatically generate visual charts and text conclusions, e.g., “Among male users, those active within 7 days account for 60%.”

This way, you can quickly understand user profiles without manual calculations.

Using Google AI to Write Personalized DM Copy

Based on features in the screening results (most current screening tools only return gender and activity – age and interest tags require combining other data), you can use Google AI (e.g., Gemini, Google AI Studio) to generate multiple versions of promotional copy:

• For female users: Use a gentle tone, emphasize discounts and experiences.
• For highly active users: Short, direct copy with urgent call-to-action buttons.
• For newly opened users: Include onboarding guides to lower the usage barrier.

While current screening tools cannot directly obtain user interest tags, you can supplement data using tgid reverse lookup tools, or run A/B tests with AI on users with known attributes to gradually optimize.

Common Misconceptions and Pitfalls in TG Screening

1. Misconception: Running millions of numbers in one batch without deduplication. Correct approach: First use the data deduplication function to clean your historical number list, avoiding repeated detection. For long-term operations, deduplication can save 20-50% of costs.

2. Misconception: Only focusing on the number of account existences, ignoring activity. Correct approach: If your goal is DM promotion, activity is more important than account existence. An account that is open but hasn’t logged in for 6 months – pushing messages to it is basically useless.

3. Misconception: Blindly believing in low-priced “unlimited screening” packages.

   Warning: Beware of low-priced packages claiming ‘unlimited screening’

   Some tools attract users with low prices, but actual detection accuracy is low, data sources are unclear, and they may even leak numbers. It’s recommended to prioritize pay-per-number platforms with public documentation, such as KK-DATA.

4. Misconception: Unwilling to run small tests. Correct approach: When trying a new tool, first test with 100 known numbers to verify accuracy and whether the exported fields meet expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum number of numbers for a single Telegram screening task? A: Limits vary by platform. Taking KK-DATA as an example, a single task supports up to about 1 million numbers, depending on file size and console configuration. If the number exceeds the limit, submit in batches or contact customer service.

Q: Which is better: 007data, thdata, or KK-DATA? A: All three are common domestic screening tools. 007data focuses on number generation and batch verification; thdata is more distinctive in WhatsApp screening; KK-DATA differentiates with multi-platform support (Telegram/WhatsApp/iMessage/RCS), data deduplication warehouse, and pay-per-number without subscription. There is no absolute “best.” Choose based on your most important requirements (e.g., detection dimensions, pricing model, country coverage) and verify with small tests.

Q: Do all tools support gender identification? A: No. Gender identification is an advanced feature based on AI avatar recognition technology. It is currently only available on some platforms (e.g., KK-DATA). If you have gender targeting needs, confirm in advance whether the platform offers this capability.

Q: How can I integrate screening results with Google AI? A: A simple approach: import the screening result CSV into Google Sheets, install the Gemini plugin or use Google Apps Script, then let the AI automatically analyze according to your instructions (e.g., “count the proportion of female users active within 7 days”) or generate personalized copy. For detailed steps, refer to the “Combining Telegram Number Screening with Google AI” section in this article.

Q: How do I look up the latest screening unit price? A: Detection unit prices on each platform change with version updates. For real-time prices, please visit the KK-DATA official website or the Billing Explanation Page. For other tools, log into their console or contact customer service.
