Getting started

The big-picture questions: what we sell, which buying method fits, and how quickly you can get a list.

What kinds of lists do you sell?

We sell consumer and business phone lists, email lists, and bulk geographic files for the USA and Canada. Popular audiences include homeowners, small businesses, specific industries by SIC or NAICS code, Turning 65 prospects, Medicare markets, life insurance markets, healthcare contacts, and many other targeted segments.

Start with phone lists, email lists, or compare all buying options.

Should I use the Leads Portal or buy a bulk list?

Use the portal when you want to filter before you download. Choose geography and available consumer or business criteria, see the matching count, and download only the records you need.

Choose bulk when you want maximum volume at the lowest cost per record. You receive the complete available consumer or business dataset for a state, province, or country and filter the CSV yourself.

Can I access both consumer and business data?

Yes. Phone Leads Portal plans include access to both the consumer and business databases for the USA and Canada. Bulk files are purchased separately as either consumer or business data.

How quickly can I get my list?

Portal lists can be filtered and downloaded as CSV files as soon as your account is active. Bulk files are also delivered electronically. If you are unsure which product to choose, call us before ordering and we can point you in the right direction.

Can someone help me choose the right list?

Yes. Call (888) 714-2844, Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM Central. Tell us who you sell to, where they are located, and how you plan to contact them. We can help you decide between consumer, business, phone, email, portal, or bulk data.

02 / THE DATA

Data & accuracy

No list stays perfect forever. Here is how often the databases are refreshed and what you should realistically expect.

How often is your data updated?

The Leads Portal database is updated quarterly. Our bulk phone-list datasets receive major updates about twice a year. Different specialty datasets can have their own refresh cycles, so ask us if the timing of a particular list is critical to your campaign.

How accurate are the phone lists?

Accuracy varies by geography, audience, and how recently individual records have changed. As a general estimate, we typically expect about 80–85% accuracy on consumer phone data and around 90% on business data.

Consumers move and change phone numbers more frequently than businesses, so consumer data generally changes faster. Any list company promising 100% accuracy is promising something real-world contact data cannot deliver.

Where does the data come from?

Our databases are compiled from multiple licensed, directory, public, and commercial data sources and then organized into searchable consumer and business records. We use multiple sources because no single directory can provide the coverage and targeting customers need.

Are the phone numbers landlines or cell phones?

In the phone Leads Portal, you can select landline, cell, or “best” phone. Choosing “best” gives you the preferred available phone type for the record and can include a combination of landline and mobile numbers.

Standard bulk files can include a mixture of available phone types unless you purchase a product specifically built around cell phone numbers.

Will I download the same lead twice?

The phone Leads Portal tracks records you have already downloaded so you do not spend your lead allowance repeatedly on the same record. That makes it easier to return to the same market and pull fresh records later.

What information comes with each record?

It depends on whether you buy consumer or business data. Typical consumer records can include name, phone number, address, geography, age range, homeowner status, estimated income, home value, and DNC status. Business records can include company name, contact name, phone, address, SIC/NAICS classification, revenue, employee count, and website information.

See the pricing page for representative bulk-file headers and links to the available portal targeting fields.

03 / BUYING

Pricing & downloads

Published pricing, standard files, no quote-first games.

How much does the Phone Leads Portal cost?

Current monthly phone-lead plans are:

  • $99/month — 3,000 phone leads
  • $149/month — 10,000 phone leads
  • $399/month — 50,000 phone leads
  • $999/month — 500,000 phone leads

Every phone plan includes consumer and business database access for the USA and Canada, available targeting filters, CSV downloads, and no long-term contract. See current pricing before ordering.

Do unused phone leads roll over?

Yes. Unused phone leads roll over while your subscription remains active. That way you do not have to force a download at the end of the month just to use your allowance.

Do portal plans require a long-term contract?

No. Phone Leads Portal plans are monthly and do not require a long-term contract.

How much are bulk phone lists?

Current one-time bulk pricing is $549 for a complete US state, $299 for a complete Canadian province, $3,495 for the full United States, and $999 for full Canada. Consumer and business datasets are purchased separately.

See bulk list pricing for details.

What format are the lists in?

Lists are delivered as CSV files, the standard spreadsheet format. They open in Excel and Google Sheets and can be imported into most common dialers, CRMs, and marketing platforms.

Can I use the list with my dialer or CRM?

Yes. Because the files are standard CSVs, they can be imported into most dialers and CRMs. If your system has a required column layout, you can typically map the TelephoneLists.biz fields during import or rearrange the columns in Excel first.

Why are your lists cheaper than some larger data companies?

Our model is built around a self-service portal and high-volume bulk data rather than expensive enterprise contracts and large commissioned sales organizations. That keeps overhead lower and lets us publish straightforward pricing for customers who primarily need usable prospect data rather than a full enterprise intelligence platform.

We can usually tell you in a few minutes whether the portal, a bulk list, or an email list makes more sense.

04 / FILTERING

Targeting options

The portal is useful because you can narrow the audience before paying to download it.

What consumer filters are available?

Available consumer targeting includes geography plus many demographic, household, property, and phone criteria. Examples include state, city, county, ZIP code, age range, homeowner status, estimated income, home value, net worth, credit rating, birth month, children, mortgage information, property type, mobile phones, and landlines.

Availability can vary by database and geography.

What business filters are available?

Business targeting can include state, city, ZIP, SIC code, NAICS code, industry, annual sales volume, employee count, contact name, business owner, small-business status, and website availability, along with other available business fields.

Can I target businesses by SIC code?

Yes. SIC code is one of the most useful business filters for building an industry-specific list. You can target a single industry or combine industry with geography, revenue, employee count, and other criteria. You can also browse popular SIC-code lists.

Can I target consumers by age?

Yes. Age-range targeting is available in the consumer database and is commonly combined with location, homeowner status, income, net worth, credit rating, and other demographics. That is also how customers create markets such as Turning 65 audiences.

Can I target by ZIP code, county, or city?

Yes. Geographic targeting is available throughout the portal, including common options such as state, city, county, and ZIP code. This is especially useful for local service businesses, insurance agents, and territory-based sales teams.

Can I see how many leads match before I download?

Yes. The portal is designed so you can apply your available filters and see the matching record count before downloading. That lets you adjust the audience before using your lead allowance.

05 / EMAIL

Email lists

Business and consumer email data have their own pricing because verifying email addresses is a different job than maintaining phone data.

Do you sell both consumer and business email lists?

Yes. We offer both consumer email lists and business email lists, along with specialty audiences such as healthcare and insurance-agent email data.

How much do email plans cost?

Starter email plans are currently $99 for 1,500 consumer emails or $99 for 500 business emails. Larger custom email lists use volume pricing, with the per-record cost dropping as the order gets larger.

See email pricing for current volume rates.

Can I get phone numbers with email records?

Phone information is available with many records because our phone and email products draw from related contact databases. The exact fields available depend on the list and filters you choose, so if phone-plus-email is important to your campaign, confirm the available fields before ordering.

What format do email lists come in?

Email lists are delivered as CSV files and can be opened in Excel or Google Sheets and imported into common email platforms, CRMs, and marketing tools.

How fresh is the email data?

Our portal email data is refreshed on a regular schedule, including quarterly updates for the primary email databases. Email addresses change and decay faster than many other contact fields, so some bounce activity is normal with any purchased list. Remove hard bounces promptly and manage your sender reputation carefully.

06 / RESPONSIBLE USE

Compliance & list use

We provide the data. You remain responsible for how your business uses it and for the rules that apply to your campaign.

Do your US phone lists include Do Not Call information?

US phone data can include DNC status flags so you can filter according to your campaign and compliance process. The National Do Not Call Registry changes over time, so buyers should still use current suppression procedures before dialing and follow any federal, state, industry, or consent requirements that apply.

TelephoneLists.biz provides marketing data, not legal advice. Your business is responsible for determining the rules that apply to its calls and texts.

Does the National Do Not Call Registry apply to business-to-business calls?

The FTC states that most calls to a business made to solicit sales from that business are exempt from the federal DNC provisions, but the exemption is not universal. Other Telemarketing Sales Rule provisions, TCPA rules, state laws, industry rules, and the type of number being called can still matter.

Do not assume “B2B” means every calling method is unrestricted. Confirm the rules for your specific campaign.

Can I use purchased phone lists for autodialed calls or prerecorded messages?

Buying a phone list does not create consent for calling methods that require consent. FCC/TCPA requirements can apply to autodialed, prerecorded, artificial-voice calls and texts, especially to wireless numbers. Your dialing technology, message type, audience, and consent records all matter.

If you use automated dialing, prerecorded voice, AI voice, or SMS, review current requirements with qualified counsel before launching the campaign.

Can I use a purchased email list for cold email?

In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act does not impose a general opt-in requirement for commercial email, but it does require compliant practices such as accurate header information, non-deceptive subject lines, a valid physical postal address, a clear opt-out method, and honoring opt-out requests.

Canada's CASL and other jurisdictions can be stricter. Your industry may also have additional requirements.

Can I resell or give away the data?

No. Our lists are licensed for use by the purchasing company and do not include resale or redistribution rights. You may not resell the data or give the database away to another company. Review the buyer/user agreement for the complete terms that apply to your purchase.

What should I do if something looks wrong with my list?

Contact us with the order information and a clear description of the issue. We can review the file, help determine whether it is a formatting, filtering, or data issue, and explain the options available under the applicable buyer/user agreement.

Didn't find your question?

Ask the people who work with the data every day.

Tell us who you want to reach and how you plan to use the list. We'll help you figure out the simplest buying option.
