Complete Guide to Game Promotion Number Screening: Multi-Platform Number Strategies for Mobile Game Overseas Acquisition, User Recall, and Community Recruitment

A harsh reality: most mobile game overseas teams waste money on invalid numbers at the very first step of promotion. Buying a packaged “target country user data” and eagerly sending bulk messages results in a delivery rate under 30%, and an even more dismal reply rate — because the data is mixed with numbers that never registered on the corresponding platform, already deactivated “zombie numbers,” and silent users with no intention of being active.

That’s why game promotion number screening has become a standard prerequisite for overseas marketing. Through a standardized process of number generation → multi-platform verification → activity & gender filtering → deduplication and export, you can eliminate over 80% of invalid costs before even reaching users. Below, we break down the specific operations for three core scenarios: mobile game overseas acquisition, user recall, and community recruitment.

Why Game Overseas Promotion Needs a Professional Number Screening Strategy

Traditional user acquisition methods have several unavoidable pain points:

• Extremely high ratio of invalid numbers: In purchased data packets, many numbers may have been deactivated or cancelled long ago, or never registered on the target platform. Sending bulk messages directly is just burning money.
• Inability to distinguish platforms: A phone number might be valid on Telegram but invalid on WhatsApp, or vice versa. Without checking, you can’t know which channel it belongs to.
• Unknown user activity: Even if the number is valid, the user may not have opened Telegram for 3 months — such outreach is almost guaranteed to get no response.
• Duplicate detection wastes budget: The same number gets detected and charged repeatedly across different data batches, causing unnecessary consumption of funds.

The core value of game promotion number screening is: before officially launching promotion, use professional tools to clean the numbers in one round, leaving only high-quality numbers that are “valid + active + matching target platform + target gender.” The conversion lift from this cleaning work often far exceeds the cost of screening itself.

Mobile Game Overseas Acquisition: Workflow from Number Generation to Multi-Platform Screening

A standardized operating process allows promotion work to run on data, not on gut feeling and luck.

Generate Target Country Numbers in Bulk: Covering 240+ Regions Globally

For new markets or games with no accumulated user data, the first step is often to build a seed number pool. KK-DATA’s Global Number Generation module can help.

• Generate by Country/Region: Supports 240+ countries/regions. Select a market you plan to enter, and the system will randomly generate compliant number segments for that region.
• Number Segment Generation: If you already know the number segment of a specific operator or numbers starting with a certain area code, you can manually specify the segment to generate.
• Custom CSV Import: If you already have some contact data (e.g., users who registered for the game but didn’t leave platform info), import the CSV file directly and proceed with screening later.

Important Note: Number generation is completely free and does not deduct balance. When testing a new market or expanding an initial list, you can first generate a few thousand to tens of thousands of free numbers for testing, then decide whether to invest at scale.

Telegram & WhatsApp Screening: Check Validity, Activity, and Gender

Once you have the number pool, the next step is to check the real status of these numbers on the target platforms.

Telegram Screening (suitable for community recruitment, channel promotion)

• Registration Check: Determine if the number is registered on Telegram. This is the most basic step, filtering out unregistered numbers.
• Activity Check: The platform supports filtering users who were “last seen online” within windows like 7 days, 15 days, 30 days. For a highly interactive group, screening users “active within 7 days” yields the best results.
• Gender Identification: Analyze gender via Telegram profile photos. While not 100% accurate, it’s very effective for targeting male/female users with different game styles or events. A single task can also export tgid for subsequent precise operations.

WhatsApp Screening (suitable for one-on-one invitations, product promotion)

• Valid Number Check: Determine if the number has WhatsApp activated. For cross-border one-on-one communication scenarios, this is the main screening filter.
• wsid Export: After screening, you can export the WhatsApp wsid, which some bulk messaging tools require.

Cross-Platform Screening Pipeline: Generate → Screen → Export

The entire process can be seamlessly connected:

1. Generate Numbers: In the console, select a country/number segment and generate a batch of numbers for free.
2. Submit Screening Task: Import the generated numbers into a screening task, simultaneously selecting Telegram activity detection and WhatsApp validity detection. One task covers both platforms without conflict.
3. Wait for Task Completion: The console will notify you promptly when the task finishes.
4. Export Results: Download a CSV or TXT file, filtering for numbers that meet your criteria. The resulting number list is already cleaned and ready to be fed into your bulk messaging tool or CRM.

User Recall Scenario: How to Use Number Screening to Improve Re-engagement Rates

For already churned or silent users, the core goal is to minimize reaching invalid users — no one wants to waste bulk messaging costs on deactivated numbers.

Filter Valid Numbers to Avoid Waste

First, run a full-platform validity check on old user data. For example, many users may have changed their phone number since registering for the game, or the number may have been deactivated. With one screening task, you can completely remove numbers that are “deactivated” or “not registered on WhatsApp/Telegram.” This step can directly save 30%–50% of bulk messaging costs.

Use Activity Detection to Target High-Intent Users

Validity checking is just the first level. To further improve recall results, you need to filter for users who have been recently active.

Suppose a mobile game is about to release a major version update and open new servers. You can set up a screening task like this:

• Condition 1: WhatsApp/Telegram number is valid
• Condition 2: The number has been active within the last 15 days
• Condition 3 (optional): Gender is male (if the new version is male-oriented content)

Numbers screened with such a combination of conditions will see significantly higher open rates and click-through rates compared to full-list broadcasting. Only users who are currently using the platform and have been active recently are most likely to see and respond to your recall messages.

Community Recruitment: Acquiring Targeted Group Users via Telegram Number Screening

Game community operations are a key part of game promotion. An active, curated community has conversion rates and ROI far higher than indiscriminate broadcasting. And game promotion number screening plays the role here of quickly finding people who are “naturally suitable” to join the community.

Filter Telegram Active Users to Join Game Communities

Directly searching “game industry Telegram groups” to add people is inefficient and yields low-quality audiences. A more efficient method: use a number pool to filter users who are registered on Telegram and have been active recently.

• New Game Beta Test: Select users active within the last 7 days. These users are more likely to actively participate in testing, report bugs, and contribute to the game’s public launch.
• Event Notifications: Select users active within the last 30 days for broader coverage, suitable for push announcements, reward codes, etc.
• Export tgid: tgid can be used to bind to third-party community management tools for automated grouping and quality monitoring.

Gender Identification Helps Targeted Invitations

Telegram gender data (avatar recognition) is an auxiliary feature. If you are promoting female-oriented dress-up games or romance simulation games, you can prioritize filtering users identified as female for targeted invitations. Conversely, for male-oriented strategy games, do the same. While not 100% accurate, it can greatly improve the initial quality of community recruitment — new members whose “orientation” matches the game will naturally have higher retention.

Data Deduplication Repository: Avoid Duplicate Detection Wasting Budget

In the daily work of game promotion number screening, you may run many screening tasks with different dimensions: some check validity, some check activity, some export tgid. Without a deduplication mechanism, the same number will be charged repeatedly.

KK-DATA’s built-in Data Deduplication Repository automatically identifies numbers that have already been checked. When you submit a new task, the system cross-references historical detection records in the repository and will not charge again for duplicate numbers. This means you only pay for each number’s first detection on a given platform and type. For promotion teams that need to repeatedly clean and screen data, this can significantly save balance.

Pay-as-You-Go Billing & USDT Anonymous Top-Up: Flexible Cost Control

For small teams and overseas studios, the biggest concern is being locked into fixed subscription plans. KK-DATA uses a no subscription, pay-per-item model:

• Low top-up threshold: USDT (TRC20) top-up, minimum around 50 USDT to start using.
• Pay for what you use: No monthly or yearly plans. If you do 100,000 items, you pay for 100,000 items. No charge if you don’t use it.
• USDT anonymity: For privacy-sensitive teams, USDT top-up is a good way to protect personal or corporate financial information.

Specific pricing varies by platform (Telegram/WhatsApp/iMessage/RCS) and detection type. Before submitting a task, the console clearly shows the estimated cost. We recommend starting with a small batch of numbers to test, control costs, and verify results. For the latest pricing, please refer to the official billing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How accurate is game promotion number screening? A: Accuracy varies by platform and detection type. Telegram registration check is over 99% accurate. Activity detection is based on recent online behavior. Gender identification relies on avatar analysis and is provided as an auxiliary reference; it is not recommended for scenarios requiring precise gender determination. We suggest evaluating based on actual results and first verifying with a small batch.

Q: Can generated numbers be used for any country? A: The platform supports number generation for 240+ countries/regions. Please note that generation pools for some resource-scarce countries (e.g., very small nations) may be limited. Generation is completely free; we recommend starting with a small generation to test, confirm availability of the number segment, then proceed with large-scale generation and screening.

Q: How soon after a screening task ends can I export? How is billing calculated? A: You can export results immediately after the task completes. Billing is calculated after the task ends, based on the actual number of checked numbers multiplied by the real-time unit price for the corresponding platform. The console shows a detailed billing breakdown. Supports CSV and TXT export formats.

Q: Will the data deduplication repository clear my previous screening records? A: No. The deduplication repository is only used for intelligently identifying previously checked numbers to avoid repeated billing for the same number across different tasks. It will not delete your exported files or affect viewing of historical tasks. You can review historical task records at any time.

Q: How do you ensure the security of my number data? A: The platform uses data transmission encryption and does not store the full original text of the numbers you import. Number data is only temporarily stored during the screening task execution and is anonymized after the task completes. For specific security measures, please refer to the privacy policy section in the documentation.
