What is Telegram screen number? What business pain points can it solve?

Telegram Screening refers to using technical means to batch verify whether a group of mobile phone numbers have registered with Telegram, whether they have been active recently, and the gender, age and other attributes corresponding to the account. It is different from ordinary sending messages - you don’t have to blindly send messages to the entire number list, but first screen out the “effective groups” and then reach them in a targeted manner.

Which scenarios require TG screening?

• Community Invitation: I want to attract new users to the group, but many of them in the number list have not registered TG, so sending invitations is a waste of effort.
• Private message promotion: To send messages to targeted groups (such as Vietnamese men, users around 30 years old), you need to confirm that the number is activated and active.
• Data Analysis: Providing gender and activity portraits of existing users to assist operational strategies.
• Anti-Account Blocking: Sending a large number of letters to inactive or unregistered numbers can easily trigger risk control. Only operating on valid numbers after screening can reduce the risk.

If there is no screen number, you can only “blind typing”, with low conversion rate, high cost, and high risk of account closure. A reliable TG screening can directly increase the proportion of valid numbers from 30% to more than 80%.

What fields does Telegram filter number support? — Full analysis of activation, activity, gender, and tgid

KK-DATA’s Telegram filter module provides the following detection types, and each field corresponds to a different business purpose:

Detection Type	Return Fields (Example)	Business Value
TG activation	Activated / not activated	Confirm whether the number is registered with Telegram
TG active	Activity level: last 7 days / 30 days / 90 days / longer	Suitable for reach scenarios with different timeliness
TG Gender	Gender, age (approximate)	Target men, women, or a specific age group
TG ID export	tgid (Telegram internal identifier)	Used for cross-task deduplication and associated data

Activation detection and activity detection

Activation detection is the most basic step: verify whether the number belongs to a registered Telegram user. Only “activated” numbers have further reach value.

Activity Detection solves the problem of “has this number recently opened Telegram?” You can customize the activity window, for example, select “Active in the past 7 days” for instant private message promotion, and “Active in the past 30 days” for community invitations. Different businesses have different timeliness requirements, and the activity field can help you accurately target the “currently reachable” people.

Gender data and age field

The gender detection result contains “male” or “female” and an age field (model inferred value, not ID card level). For example, you can filter out numbers with “gender = male, age range 25-35 years old” and use them to promote products to men. But please note:

• The age field is predicted by the model, with an accuracy of about 70-80% (based on public data training), and cannot be used for age positioning accurate to the ID number.
• It is recommended to treat the age field as a “tendency indicator”. For example, it is reasonable to screen for “people around 30 years old”, but do not claim to “accurately target users born in 1990”.

tgid exported value

tgid is a unique identifier assigned to each user within Telegram. After exporting the tgid, you can:

• Cross-task deduplication: the same tgid will only be detected once to avoid repeated deductions.
• Associate data from other platforms: If WhatsApp or Line are screened at the same time, users can be merged based on mobile phone number or tgid.
• Used for subsequent automated operations (with Telegram API), but please note TG official restrictions on automated behavior.

What is the process of screening accounts on Telegram? What do I need to prepare?

The entire process, from registration to exporting results, takes about 5 minutes. Here are the standard steps:

1. Register and log in to the console → Visit https://app.kkdata.cc/ to create an account.
2. Recharge Balance → Use USDT (TRC20) to recharge, with a minimum of about 50 USDT, which will be automatically updated after arrival.
3. Prepare the number source → You can get the number in the following three ways (all free):
   • Global random generation: Select the country, quantity, and generate with one click (240+ countries supported).
   • Global number segment generation: Enter country code + number segment prefix to generate consecutive numbers.
   • CSV Import: Upload your own number list, supports TXT/CSV format.
4. Submit screening task → Select the detection type (activated, active, gender, etc.), the system will display the estimated cost, confirm and submit.
5. Waiting for result notification → You will be notified through the Telegram robot when the task is completed (requires binding in advance).
6. Export results → Support CSV / TXT format and can be exported repeatedly at any time.

Number source: SDK generation vs CSV import

Generation method	Advantages	Applicable scenarios
Global random generation	Wide coverage, simple operation	No ready-made number library, quick testing required
Global number segment generation	Specific number segments can be specified (such as starting with +1 213 in the United States)	Accurate delivery for regions
CSV import	Use your own list (purchased, crawled, historical data)	Already have a fixed target group

Note: The generation function is completely free. Only when the generated numbers are submitted to the screening task, the fee will be deducted based on the number of tests.

Submit tasks and estimated costs

On the submission page, the system will display the estimated deductions in real time based on the test type and number of numbers you selected. If the balance is insufficient, the task button will be grayed out and cannot be submitted. At this time, you need to recharge first.

Once the task is submitted, the system will immediately lock the balance, and the payment will not be actually deducted until the detection is completed (if canceled midway, the balance will be released).

How is the cost of TG screening calculated? Is there really no subscription package?

KK-DATA adopts a pure per-item payment model without any subscription or monthly packages. You only need to top up the balance, and the amount you use will be deducted.

• Deposit method: USDT (TRC20), the minimum is about 50 USDT.
• Deduction timing: After the number screening task is completed, it will be deducted from the balance. If it is not completed, no fee will be deducted.
• Insufficient balance: New tasks cannot be submitted and need to be recharged first.

Why do many teams choose KK-DATA instead of subscription? Because:

• Small and medium-sized enterprises/studio: business volume fluctuates greatly, and payment by item is more flexible.
• Data operation: only phased screening is required, there is no need to pay a fixed monthly fee.
• Multi-platform parallelism: One set of balances can be used for multiple platform accounts such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Line, Zalo, etc.

How accurate is Telegram’s gender data? How to use the age field scientifically?

This is the most frequently asked question by users. Let’s get straight to the conclusion:

The accuracy of the gender field is about 80-90% (based on public information and model training), The age field is an inferred value and can be used to filter the “about 25-35 years old” interval, but it cannot be used as the precise year of birth.

Scientific usage suggestions

• Don’t rely on the age field alone: combine it with activity level, gender, and country. For example, filter numbers with “gender=female, age about 30 years old, active in the past 30 days” for female skin care brand promotion.
• Small-volume test verification: First screen 500-1000 items, manually sample to verify the consistency between the results and the actual situation, and then decide whether to use it in batches.
• Avoid misleading promotions: In internal reports or customer communications, use “age tends to be about 30” rather than “exactly 30.”

The gender data source model is not an official API and therefore cannot be 100% accurate. However, as the first step to target people, it can greatly improve the accuracy of customer acquisition.

What formats can the sieve number results be exported to? How to manage and deduplicate data?

Export format

• CSV: Contains all detection fields and can be opened with Excel or data processing tools.
• TXT: Pure number list, suitable for direct copy and paste or import into other tools.

The export operation supports filtering by tasks and conditions (such as exporting only “open + active + male” numbers), which is convenient for direct use in subsequent marketing.

Data deduplication warehouse

KK-DATA has built-in cross-task deduplication function. When you submit a new task, the system will automatically compare the historical screening results. Numbers that have been detected will not be re-tested and will not be charged. This solves two pain points:

• Avoid wasting balance: The same number will not be deducted repeatedly.
• Time efficiency: After deduplication, the task time is shortened and the results are obtained faster.

You can view and manage the black/white list of all detected numbers in the “Duplication Warehouse” in the console.

Is the data safe? How to prevent fake customer service?

Platform security measures

• KK-DATA does not store the user’s source number list (only the valid numbers and detection attributes in the screening results are retained).
• All data transfers are encrypted using HTTPS.
• After the task is completed, the source files can be deleted and the results can be saved for a long time.

FAQ

Question: What is the maximum number that can be submitted for Telegram screening at one time?

Answer: The maximum number of single tasks is about 1 million. If you need a larger batch, you can submit it in multiple batches, and the system’s built-in deduplication warehouse will automatically avoid repeated detection. Different detection types (such as activation + activity + gender) may occupy more computing resources. It is recommended to perform large tasks in stages.

Question: Can the gender detection results of TG screen number be used for precise age targeting?

Answer: No. The age field in gender detection is a model inferred value that can be used to screen people around 30 years old, but it cannot achieve the precise age at the ID card level. It is recommended to make a comprehensive judgment based on fields such as activity level, and verify the accuracy in a small amount first.

Question: What should I do if I don’t have enough balance to submit a task after recharging?

Answer: The system will display the estimated fee before submission. If the balance is insufficient, submission cannot be made. USDT (TRC20) can be used to recharge, with a minimum of about 50 USDT. The balance will be automatically increased after arrival. The recharge process can be completed within the console and usually takes 10-30 minutes to arrive.

Question: Can the screening results be given to other people in the team for review?

Answer: Yes. All members under the same account can log in to the console to query task history and export the results. Supports multi-format (CSV, TXT) export. If your team needs independent permissions, you can contact customer service to learn about the sub-account function (currently, multiple members with the same account are supported).

Q: Are there any charges for using the SDK to generate a global number?

A: The global number generation feature is free. Only when the generated numbers are submitted to the screening task, charges will be based on the number of tests. For specific unit prices, please see the real-time price on the console. There is no charge to generate as many numbers as you want, feel free to use for testing and planning.
