The company behind “DianPhoneBang”, was founded in early 2012. So far, it has collected 85 million phone numbers of 60 million commercial organizations, with a total data volume of more than 1.2 billion, and the numbers cover more than 370 major cities across the country. DiaoPhoneBang has successively reached cooperation with Xiaomi MIUI, Tencent and Baidu’s related products, Alibaba Cloud OS, UC Browser and basic operators. At present, the services of “DianPhoneBang” have covered 500 million terminal users, and the number of daily active users has exceeded 60 million.
After this round of financing, Diaodianbang will increase its research and development efforts on phone number search engines, and further improve its phone database by establishing a business registration portal and a merchant authentication center, supplemented by manual data collection. At the same time, it will dig deep into the data value of saudi arabia phone number data and create related services such as mobile phone life yellow pages based on phone numbers. Giants such as Xiaomi and 360 have similar ideas. The former’s “Xiaomi Yellow Pages” and the latter’s newly launched “Come to the Store” both use phone numbers as the entrance to life services.

Users can use the address book to search, recharge, pay for daily expenses, book tickets, and comparison of different webinar platforms book daily services. Mao Yujian, CEO of “DianPhone Help”, told 36Kr, “Compared to providing data in the past, the current ‘Super Yellow Pages’ is a mature solution. It will not compete with existing partners, but can provide more value to more partners.”
Startups focusing on phone numbers have entered a new “yellow pages” phase this year, starting with location and anti-harassment services, and ch leads later address book synchronization and smart identification. If the model of building a mobile portal based on phone numbers works, local life services, O2O, and classified information websites may all see a reshuffle.
