A must-read for newbies: Getting started with Telegram screening - a complete guide from registration to first order

When you are planning to acquire customers overseas, Telegram is a highly active social channel that cannot be avoided. But among the numbers at hand, which ones are Telegram users? Which ones are active recently? What are the target genders? Manual verification is not practical, which requires the Telegram Screening tool to be completed in batches.

This article is specially designed for novices who are new to Telegram account screening. From account registration to completing the first task, every step will be broken down clearly. After reading, you can operate independently and use the screening results directly in overseas marketing.

What is Telegram screen number?

Telegram screening refers to batch detection of the status and attributes of a batch of mobile phone numbers on the Telegram platform, which usually includes the following types of detection:

Activation detection: Whether the number has been registered with Telegram.
Activity Detection: When was the number last online (e.g. within 24 hours, within 7 days, within 30 days).
Gender and Age Detection: Infer the user’s gender and age range based on public information (for example, screening for “people around 30 years old” can be achieved through the age field).
tgid export: Obtain the corresponding Telegram internal unique ID to facilitate subsequent association with other data.

❗ Sieve size ≠ Add powder. Screening is only to “identify available users” and does not involve proactive messaging or private message promotion. Subsequent contact actions must be completed by yourself under the premise of legal compliance.

In the entire customer acquisition process, screening numbers is the first step - removing invalid, inactive, and non-target gender numbers so that subsequent promotion resources can only be invested in high-value users.

What do newbies need to prepare for their first Telegram account?

Before you start, you need to complete three things: register an account, top up your balance, and prepare numbers to be screened. Each step is explained in detail below.

Register and log in KK-DATA

Visit Application Console, support email registration or third-party login through Telegram. After registration, complete basic verification to enter the backend.

Note: Look for the official domain name kkdata.cc and beware of counterfeit websites.

Recharge USDT balance

KK-DATA adopts the pay by item, no subscription package model. You need to recharge USDT to your account balance first.

Minimum deposit: approximately 50 USDT (TRC20 network).
After arrival: the balance is automatically updated and available at any time.
Specific unit price: The unit price is different for different platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) and different detection types (activation, active, gender). Please refer to the real-time price of the console. The system will display the estimated cost before submitting the task.

Tip: The specific unit price is subject to the console

Different platforms and different detection types have different unit prices. The system will display the estimated cost before submitting the task, so there is no need to memorize specific figures.

Prepare numbers to be screened (two methods)

Method 1: List of numbers you already own

If you have the user’s mobile phone number on hand (for example, obtained from registration forms, event collection, third-party purchases, etc.), directly organize it into a CSV or TXT file and upload it. Pay attention to the format requirements:

One number per line, including country code (e.g. +8613912345678).
UTF-8 is recommended for file encoding to avoid garbled characters.

Method 2: Use the global number generation function (free)

Don’t have an existing number? no problem. KK-DATA provides global number generation function, supporting 240+ countries/regions and custom number segments. The generated numbers can be exported for free and then directly used for screening numbers (screen numbers are deducted per item, and the generation itself is free)*.

Specific operations: Enter the “Number Generation” module in the console, select the country and number of numbers, and the system will randomly generate numbers that comply with local number segment rules. It also supports importing custom number range CSV.

How to start a Telegram screening task?

After preparing the balance and number, enter the console to start the new screening task.

Enter the “Screen Number Task” page → Click “New Task”.
Select Platform: Select “Telegram”.
Upload numbers: Import CSV/TXT file from local, or paste the number list.
Select detection type: See instructions below.
Confirm estimated cost: The system will automatically calculate the balance required for this task and submit it after confirming it is correct.
Submit task: Processing starts in the background.

Select detection type

Telegram detection types provided by KK-DATA include:

Activation detection: Determine whether the number is registered with Telegram. The most basic and lowest cost.
Activity Detection: You can set the activity window (such as 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days). Filter out users who have been online recently to improve the reach rate.
Gender Detection: Returns the gender and age fields (such as “Male 20-30 years old”). Note that the age field is an inferred value, which can be used to filter people “about 30 years old” and is not accurate at the ID card level.
tgid export: Returns the Telegram internal ID corresponding to each number to facilitate association with other systems.

It is recommended that novices start with activate detection, verify the overall quality of the number, and then add activity and gender detection.

Submit the task and wait for completion

After the task is submitted, it enters the background processing queue. Processing time depends on the number of numbers and type of detection, usually ranging from a few minutes to a few hours.

You can track your progress in the following ways:

Telegram Notification: Bind your Telegram account on the console and you will receive a robot message when the task is completed.
Console View: Real-time status (processing/completed/failed) will be displayed in the task list.

NOTE: Check balance before submitting

Make sure the balance is sufficient to cover the task fee, otherwise the task cannot be submitted. It is recommended that novices start with less than 5,000 test tasks, and then expand the scale after becoming familiar with the process.

How to view and export screen number results?

After the task is completed, you enter the results page, where you can filter and sort the data by fields. Common field descriptions:

Field name	Meaning
`phone`	Mobile phone number (including country code)
`registered`	Whether to register Telegram (yes/no)
`last_active`	Last active time (such as 2024-12-01)
`gender`	Inferred gender (male/female/unknown)
`age_range`	Inferred age range (e.g. 25-34)
`tgid`	Telegram Internal ID

Export operation: Click the “Export” button, select CSV or TXT format, and download the result file. You can then import the data into a CRM, email/SMS tool, or automated marketing system.

Avoid repeated deductions: The platform has a built-in data deduplication warehouse, the same number will be automatically deduplicated across tasks, and only the first detection will be deducted. It is recommended to enable the deduplication function (enabled by default) to save costs.

What are the most common pitfalls for newcomers to Telegram account screening?

Based on feedback from a large number of users, common mistakes made by novices focus on the following five aspects:

Number format is not standardized: country code is missing, spaces/special characters are mixed in → the screen number result is inaccurate. It is recommended to standardize the format with a script before use.
Submit too many numbers at once: Novices submit hundreds of thousands of numbers at the beginning. Once deduplication is not checked or high-cost detection types (such as gender detection) are selected, the cost may be far higher than expected. **Test in small batches first, then scale up. **
Ignore the activity detection window setting: If you need active users in the past 7 days, but select “Active at any time”, the result will include a large number of users who have not been online for a long time.
Task notification is not enabled: Keep refreshing the page while waiting. Bind Telegram notifications to receive completion reminders in real time.
Mistaken trust in unofficial customer service: Only recognize official channels (such as customer service embedded in the console, Official Channel), and do not trust third parties claiming “internal discounts”.

Best Practice: Test before batching

Novices must first submit an activation test with less than 1,000 entries to verify the quality of the numbers. Confirm that the process is correct before performing full activity + gender testing, which can save first-time operation costs.

How to apply Telegram screening results to actual customer acquisition scenarios?

The screen number not only tells you “which numbers can be used”, but also a user portrait. The following are three practical scenarios:

Scenario 1: Telegram group invitation Filter out numbers that are “registered + active within 30 days + male” for group promotion (pay attention to Telegram rules to avoid abuse).
Scenario 2: Private message promotion Connect third-party automation tools (such as member management robots) through tgid to send targeted messages. Be sure to control frequency in conjunction with regional regulations and platform policies.
Scenario 3: Multi-platform joint analysis The same batch of numbers are screened for WhatsApp, Line, and Zalo at the same time, and the activation rate and activity data of each platform are compared to determine the main channel. For example, in the Southeast Asian market, Line and Zalo highly active users can focus on following up.
