The Complete Guide to TG Number Screening in 2026: Full Analysis of Telegram Number Screening Features (Registration, Validity, Activity, Gender Identification)

When marketing overseas, do you need to contact a large number of Telegram users, but only have a list of phone numbers? Manually verifying whether each one is registered or online is extremely inefficient and easy to miss active users. This is where TG number screening comes in: using tools to batch-check the Telegram registration status, validity, activity level, and even user gender of a number pool. This article covers the core detection types, tool comparisons, practical steps, and pitfalls to avoid, helping you complete the entire Telegram number screening workflow using the latest methods in 2026.

What is TG Number Screening? Why Do Overseas Marketers Need Telegram Number Screening?

TG number screening uses automated tools to perform multi-dimensional analysis on a pool of phone numbers, determining which numbers have registered with Telegram, can currently send and receive messages, have been active recently, and the probable gender of the user. In scenarios such as B2B SaaS overseas marketing, community management, and private message promotion, this directly determines contact efficiency:

• Reduces the risk of account restrictions: Sending messages to unregistered or invalid numbers can be flagged by Telegram as spam, leading to account limitations.
• Increases conversion rates: Only numbers that are TG valid and TG active are likely to open messages or click links.
• Lowers customer acquisition costs: By segmenting based on gender and activity, you spend your budget on users most likely to interact.

Manual verification? Even with a hundred phones, you can test at most a few dozen per day. Automated TG number screening tools can process hundreds of thousands of numbers in tens of minutes and deliver structured results.

Detailed Explanation of the Four Core Detection Types in TG Number Screening

Different platforms offer different detection capabilities, but the four most common types are: TG registration, TG validity, TG activity, and TG gender identification. In addition, TG ID export is another high-value feature introduced here.

TG Registration (Registration Detection) – Confirm Whether the Number Has Registered for Telegram

This is the most basic detection. The tool sends a lightweight request to Telegram servers to determine whether the phone number appears in the user registration database. Through “registration” detection, you can quickly split the number list into “registered on Telegram” and “not registered” pools.

Use case: Clean up raw number lists, removing a large number of unregistered numbers to avoid futile attempts.

TG Validity – Verify Whether the Number Can Still Receive Messages

“Registration” only indicates that the number once registered for Telegram, but it may have been deactivated, banned, or unused for a long time. “Validity” further confirms that the account is still in normal status and can receive private messages. This is usually verified by simulating the sending of a system-level message (without actually delivering it to the user).

Note: Valid ≠ active. A number can be valid but the user may not have logged in for a week; you can still send messages.

TG Activity – Filter Users Who Have Been Online or Active Recently

“Activity” detection evaluates the account’s activity within a specified time window. Common windows are 7 days, 15 days, and 30 days. The platform determines this based on the user’s last online time or message interaction frequency. Active users are more likely to reply to messages, click links, and participate in activities.

Why needed: If you are running short-term promotions or event invitations, sending to users who haven’t been online for a month is nearly useless. First run a rough TG validity screen, then refine with TG activity on valid numbers to save 50%–70% of costs.

TG Gender Identification – AI-Based Gender Detection from Profile Photos

Some advanced screening tools (e.g., KK-DATA) support AI-based gender identification from Telegram profile pictures. The algorithm analyzes avatar features (facial contours, clothing style, etc.) to determine “male/female/unidentifiable.” This feature is particularly useful for gender-targeted promotions (e.g., cosmetics, games, men’s products).

Compliance reminder: Gender identification is based solely on public profile photos and does not involve private chat content. However, you must still comply with local privacy regulations, and it is recommended to inform users in data usage statements.

TG ID Export – Convert Screening Results into Directly Usable TG IDs

TG ID is the unique numeric identifier that Telegram assigns to each user (format like 123456789). By exporting TG IDs through a screening tool, you can:

• Send messages directly via Bot API to TG IDs (more stable than using phone numbers)
• Import group invite links (some tools support)
• Integrate with CRM or automation scripts

Compared to directly exporting phone numbers, TG IDs are safer (no exposure of phone numbers) and more efficient (no need for re-verification) in subsequent operations. However, note that TG ID export requires platform capability; not all screening tools support it.

How to Choose a TG Number Screening Tool: Comparison of 007data, thdata, and KK-DATA

The mainstream TG number screening tools on the market include 007data, thdata, and KK-DATA. Below is an objective comparison across three dimensions.

Feature Comparison: Support for TG Activity, TG Gender, TG ID Export

Feature	007data	thdata	KK-DATA
TG Registration (Registration Detection)	Supported	Supported	Supported
TG Validity	Supported	Supported	Supported
TG Activity (Specified Time Window)	Not supported	Not supported	Supported (7/15/30 days, etc.)
TG Gender Identification	Not supported	Not supported	Supported (Avatar AI recognition)
TG ID Export	Partially supported (consult needed)	Not publicly supported	Supported
Global Number Generation	Supported (large quantity)	Supported	Supported (240+ countries/regions)
Data Deduplication Repository	No public info	No public info	Supports cross-task deduplication

Note: The above information is based on publicly available materials and product documentation as of March 2026. Actual conditions may vary per each platform’s dashboard.

Pricing Model Comparison: Pay-Per-Check vs. Subscription Plans – Which Is More Flexible?

Pricing Dimension	007data	thdata	KK-DATA
Subscription Plan	Available (monthly/quarterly/yearly)	Available (details not public)	No subscription, pure pay-per-check
Minimum Top-up	Approximately 100 CNY	Approximately 50 USDT	Approximately 50 USDT
Balance Validity	Usually according to plan	Not public	Long-term valid (balance can still be used after withdrawal is closed)
Price Transparency	Requires login to view	Requires contacting customer service	Real-time display on dashboard, estimated cost visible before submitting task

Conclusion: If your usage is unstable or you are just starting out, pay-per-check (like KK-DATA) offers more flexibility without paying a large monthly fee upfront. If you plan heavy long-term usage and can negotiate unit prices, subscription plans may be more economical. It is recommended to test with a small amount before deciding.

Data Export and Deduplication Capabilities Comparison

• EXPORT format: All three support CSV/TXT. 007data also supports Excel export.
• Built-in deduplication: KK-DATA provides a cross-task number deduplication repository that automatically identifies already-checked numbers to avoid duplicate charges. The other two do not publicly offer similar features.
• Value of deduplication: Suppose you first check 50,000 numbers, then add 20,000 new numbers later but 10,000 are duplicates. With deduplication, you only pay for the 20,000 new ones, saving charges for 10,000. For long-term operations teams, a deduplication repository can save a significant budget.

Practical Steps for TG Number Screening: From Number Generation to Result Export

Below we take KK-DATA as an example to demonstrate the complete Telegram number screening process. Other platforms operate similarly but with different interfaces and options.

Step 1: Prepare Number Sources (Upload Existing List or Use Global Number Generation)

You have two ways to obtain numbers for checking:

• Upload your own numbers: Supports CSV and TXT formats, one number per line, including country code (e.g., +8613xxxxxxxx).
• Use the global number generator: In the KK-DATA dashboard’s “Number Generation” module, select the target country/region (240+ available) and number prefix (e.g., US +1 first 3 digits). The system generates a specified number of random numbers for free. Generated numbers can be directly fed into a screening task.

Best practice: If you have limited number sources, first generate a batch of random numbers for your target country, then use screening to verify registration and validity, obtaining a real pool of registered users.

Step 2: Configure Detection Options and Estimated Fees

Enter “New Screening Task” → Select platform as Telegram → Upload numbers or import from generation module → Check the detection types you need:

• □ Registration (Registration Detection)
• □ Validity
• □ Activity (expand to choose 7 days / 15 days / 30 days)
• □ Gender Identification
• □ TG ID Export

The right side will automatically display the estimated charge amount (price per check × total number of numbers). Submit the task after confirming sufficient balance. If insufficient, you need to top up (supports USDT TRC20, minimum about 50 USDT).

Tip: It is recommended to first run only the “Registration” detection. Once results are obtained, run “Validity” and “Activity” refined screening on the registered numbers. Stepwise operations help control costs.

Step 3: View Results and Export (Including TG ID Export)

After the task completes (duration depends on number count; for 1 million numbers, about 30–60 minutes), click “Details” in the task list to view statistics:

• Total count, pass count, fail count
• Detailed results for each detection type (e.g., validity 85%, activity 40%)
• If TG ID export was checked, an additional column “tgid” will appear in the results

Click Export, select format (CSV or TXT), and download the file. The exported data includes original phone numbers, detection results, TG IDs (if available), and other fields. You can then import TG IDs into Bot API or group invitation tools.

Common Misconceptions and Pitfall Avoidance in TG Number Screening

Common mistakes overseas marketers make when performing Telegram number screening:

1. Sending messages without distinguishing registration/validity: Sending messages to unregistered numbers immediately flags the sender as anomalous, leading to reduced account privileges or even a ban. Strictly follow the order: “Registration → Validity → Activity”.
2. Ignoring activity leads to ineffective reach: Sending to users who haven’t been online for a month results in extremely low open rates and wastes message quotas. It is recommended to filter for numbers active within at least 30 days.
3. Not deduplicating wastes budget: If you manage numbers manually, you are likely to check the same number multiple times. Using platforms with cross-task deduplication (like KK-DATA’s data deduplication repository) can avoid this automatically.
4. Falling for fake customer service scams: Recently, many fake accounts impersonating KK-DATA customer service have appeared. The only official customer service Telegram is @kkdata_cc. Any other account claiming to be customer service is fake.

How to Maximize the Value of TG Number Screening: Best Practices and Optimization Suggestions

1. Fully Utilize the Data Deduplication Repository

Before submitting each new task, first upload numbers to the data deduplication repository. The system automatically filters out already-checked numbers to avoid duplicate charges. For long-term operations teams, this feature can save 20%–30% of budget.

2. Stepwise Screening, Tiered Costs

First run a rough “TG registration” screen (lowest unit price). For example, from 100,000 numbers, get 30,000 registered numbers. Then run “TG validity” and “TG activity” refined screens on those 30,000, resulting in 15,000 active valid numbers. Compared to selecting all at once, stepwise can reduce costs by about half.

3. Combine Gender and Activity for Layered Targeting

Suppose you are promoting women’s skincare products: first use gender identification to filter female numbers, then select those active within 7 days. The conversion rate of messages sent this way could be 3–5 times higher than without targeting.

4. Regularly Update Your Number Pool

The validity of numbers changes over time (users deactivate, accounts banned). It is recommended to re-screen your existing numbers every 1–2 months to remove invalid ones. KK-DATA’s deduplication repository automatically marks the “last detection time” for easy identification of old data.

5. Watch for New Detection Types on the Platform

Besides Telegram, KK-DATA also supports number screening for WhatsApp, iMessage, RCS, etc. You can guide successful users to WhatsApp or RCS channels for secondary touchpoints, expanding your reach. When new detection types are launched, test their effectiveness first.
