Whether you are doing cross-border SMS notifications,WhatsApp group messaging, Telegram recruitment, or social account registration and operation, ultimately all are inseparable from one premise:The user number is available and real.
But in reality, a large number of marketing teams have invested advertising budgets and even registered accounts in batches, only to be troubled by problems such as failure to reach, account bans, and low connection rates. The reason often lies in not doing it in the first placeOperator number detection, and there is no cleaning process support.
The global number pool is mixed with:
lStop number, cancellation number
lformat error number
lvirtual number (VoIP)
lWrong region or unknown number segment
This will not only cause delivery failure, but may also lead to abnormal system recognition and account blocking, affecting long-term strategic stability.
so,“Cleaning” is not optional;Standard procedures that must be done.
2. What are the three core steps involved in global operator number cleaning?
An effective cleaning process must cover Format → Belong → Status Three dimensions, one is indispensable.
1. Format verification: determine whether the number structure is standard
Different countries have different rules for mobile phone numbers. For example:
lUS numbers are fixed at10 digits, plus country code + 1 in front
lFrench numbers often start withBegins with "+33 6/7"
lCommonly found in Philippine numbersWrong format starting with 0
The goals of this step are:Eliminate incorrect formats and non-compliant numbers, to prevent subsequent system identification failures.
If the enterprise has certain technical capabilities, it canOperator number detectionAPI interfaceRealize automatic identification and batch processing.
2. Home location and operator identification: identifying number background
Just because the format is correct does not mean the number is trustworthy.
What you need to know:
lWhich country or region does the number belong to?
lWhich operator does it correspond to? (such as IndiaAirtel, Vodafone UK)
lIs it a virtual number segment or a complaint-friendly segment?
This information can help you:
lDetermine whether the number is suitable for SMS channels or social platforms
lDevelop marketing rhythm and delivery strategies by country
lUse location tags for precise stratification and remarketing
The ownership identification suggestion is retained as a field for subsequent useCRM data analysis or delivery scheduling.
3. Status detection: Determine whether the number is real and available
This is the most critical step in cleaning.
The test results will show:
lCurrent status (active, down, logged out)
lHave you recently registered a platform account (such asWhatsApp, LINE, etc.)
lAre there any signs of inactivity for a long time?
lWhether it has communication capabilities (can text messages/voice enabled)
Through status detection, you can directlyFilter out unreachable numbers, to avoid resource waste.
3. Have you fallen into some common misunderstandings before cleaning?
Misunderstanding 1: Number format"It looks right", then you can use it
Many teams collect numbers and see the prefix+If the country code is correct, import it directly into the system. This is the greatest risk point. Many numbers are only formatted like this, but are actually invalid, expired, or allocated by non-mainstream operators.
Misunderstanding 2: Cleaning is only done once and can be used for a long time.
Numbers are dynamic resources. What's valid today may be deactivated in three months. Especially in India, the Philippines, and African countries, numbers change frequently, so it is recommended to repeat testing regularly.
Misunderstanding 3: Only pay attention to status and not to the operator
The type of operator determines whether certain channels can be used (for example, SMS channels are limited to some operators, and some social platforms do not support virtual account registration). Status alone cannot determine these limitations.
4. How should the cleaning process be implemented?
The following is a standard cleaning process that can be performed:
step1: Prepare the number file
The format is unified into an international standard format (such as+44), remove spaces, special symbols, and non-numeric characters.
step2: Import the detection platform
in such asUpload files in the "Digital Planet" platform, or automatically transmit numbers and return test results through the API interface.
step3: View and sort results
Output fields include:
lIs the format compliant?
lCountry affiliation and operator information
lstatus result (available/stop/logout)
lWhether it is a virtual operator (such asVoIP)
step4: Batch processing and labeling
Obvious invalid numbers are cleared, and the remaining numbers can be labeled according to operator type, country, and active status to facilitate subsequent calls.
5. After the test is completed, these suggestions are more critical
1.Do not import the entire amount into the delivery system at once
It is recommended to import the test in batches and conduct a status check before each batch is launched to reduce the failure rate.
2.Use the home field as a reference dimension for reach strategies
For example, if the number segment of a non-mainstream operator in a certain country has a low connection rate, it can be processed separately or delayed.
3.Decide whether to access based on business modelAPI interface
If your number is stable for a long time and used frequently, it is recommended to check the operator's number.The API interface is connected to the CRM or marketing system to realize the automated cleaning process.
6. Which countries does Digital Planet support? What are the detection fields?
Currently, Digital Planet supports coverage 220+ countries and regions, and supports the following standard field output:
lIs the number format compliant?
lCountry and region code
lCorresponding operator name
lNumber current status (available/unavailable)
lWhether it belongs to a virtual operator
Supports batch import detection and dockingAPI interface for real-time cleaning.
7. Ending reminder: Cleaning is not"Extra process", but "required process"
Without cleaning, there may seem to be many numbers, but in fact less than half are usable; after cleaning, even if only a part of the numbers remain, they are truly valuable, reachable, and convertible user resources.
If you are preparing to launch, or have already started to reach out but the results are not satisfactory, you may wish to clean the global operator numbers first, or apply for a set of test samples to re-understand the numbers you have.
