For power and parallel dialers
The job
Fill the number waterfall behind a power or parallel dialer so SDRs spend sessions talking to buyers, not hunting numbers.
When
An SDR team loads a call list into the dialer and contacts are missing a direct mobile.
Outcome
SDRs on the dialer reach more live conversations per hour and book more meetings per rep.
Lead recipe 1

Feed a parallel dialer with direct mobile numbers

When to use it: An SDR team loads a call list into the dialer and contacts are missing a direct mobile.

  1. Dialer collects contacts without a mobile from the queued session list
  2. Call POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ per contact with linkedin_public_identifier; Gold first for quality, Silver for maximum reach
  3. Write phone_number into the dialer contact with source = provider for audit
  4. Rank contacts in the session so those with a found mobile are dialed first
  5. Feed dispositions (connected, wrong number) back into provider order

Lead recipe 2

Score mobile numbers by connect likelihood before dialing

When to use it: A rep or agency loads a cold-call list and wants connect rate above the baseline before burning dials.

Show the steps
  1. Retrieve candidate numbers per contact from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Gold and Silver)
  2. Attach person context from POST /person_detail_lookup/ (role_title, role_is_current, location) as scoring features
  3. Score each number using the platform's own model (line type, recency, call outcomes)
  4. Order the dial list by score and suppress low-score numbers
  5. Log connects per number to retrain scoring

Lead recipe 3

Enrich mobiles just in time at dial time instead of bulk refreshes

When to use it: A contact enters today's dial queue without a verified mobile, or its stored number is older than the platform's freshness window.

Show the steps
  1. Dialer flags queued contacts with missing or stale phone fields
  2. Resolve identity with POST /person_detail_lookup/ (linkedin_public_identifier) to confirm current role
  3. Call POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ only for contacts confirmed in role; store phone_number with lookup timestamp
  4. Skip lookups for contacts not dialed in the session, avoiding bulk list spend
  5. Expire cached numbers on the platform's freshness rule and re-query on next dial

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do power and parallel dialers use Forager mobile numbers?

Fill the number waterfall behind a power or parallel dialer so SDRs spend sessions talking to buyers, not hunting numbers. Direct mobile numbers for a person, from a LinkedIn URL or a Forager person ID, validated before they reach you. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What do mobile numbers cost for power and parallel dialers?

Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.20 per mobile number on Starter month to month and $0.15 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Why do power and parallel dialers add mobile numbers?

Fill your dialer with numbers that ring for the right person. Products like yours are judged on connect rate and cost per valid result, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what mobile numbers returns for your users before you build on it.

How do parallel dialers find direct dials?

Dialer collects contacts without a mobile from the queued session list. Call POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ per contact with linkedin_public_identifier; Gold first for quality, Silver for maximum reach.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send LinkedIn URL, LinkedIn identifier and LinkedIn identifiers. You get back phone_number, role_title, work_email and organization, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.

Can our users see Forager data in our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Am I charged when no mobile number is found?

No. A mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for mobile numbers we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.

Can power and parallel dialers test mobile numbers for free?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How to rank phone numbers before cold calling?

Retrieve candidate numbers per contact from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Gold and Silver). Order the dial list by score and suppress low-score numbers.

How do I know the data is right?

Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

How is a mobile number lookup API different from a contact database?

A contact database sells access to a list, often by seat or by export. A lookup API answers one person at a time inside your product or workflow: you send the LinkedIn URL or email you already hold and get back a mobile number in one JSON response. With Forager a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for numbers, not for searches.

Where can I use Forager mobile numbers?

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
