Phone Waterfall Across 6+ Providers

Phone Waterfall Across 6+ Providers

Clay waterfalls across Forager, Prospeo, Wiza, LeadMagic, ContactOut, and Datagma to maximize direct-dial coverage. Each provider is queried in sequence so no reachable number is missed before moving to the next source.

Verified Numbers, Not Raw Dials

Every returned phone number passes through verification checks to filter out disconnected and invalid lines. Confirmed direct-dials reach your output table, keeping bad numbers out of your call queue.

Catch-All and VoIP Line Detection

Catch-All and VoIP Line Detection

Clay flags catch-all and VoIP numbers separately from confirmed direct-dials, so reps prioritize the highest-confidence contacts first. Risk labels appear as a dedicated column, giving your team a clear signal before dialing.

Push Verified Dials to Your Sequencer

Route verified phone records directly to Salesloft, Outreach, or Apollo with field mapping preserved on every sync. Contacts with confirmed direct-dials enter call steps automatically, cutting manual list prep to zero.

Push Verified Dials to Your Sequencer

When one provider doesn’t have it, Clay automatically checks the next one. It really helps our inbound and outbound motions because we can leverage the best source of data. I’ve never seen a tool that was so easy to do this process.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find someone's work phone number?

Sculptor runs a phone waterfall across providers like Forager, Prospeo, Wiza, and ContactOut in sequence. You enter the target company domain and department, and Sculptor builds a contact table with name, title, and location. Each provider is queried one after another until a verified direct-dial is found, then the confirmed number is pushed to HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, or Salesloft for immediate outreach.

How accurate are the work phone numbers Sculptor returns?

Top providers in Clay's 2025 mobile-phone test hit up to 92.5% accuracy (Forager) and 92% (Prospeo), though individual provider coverage stays under 45%. By chaining six or more providers in a waterfall, Clay pushes overall coverage from roughly 30% to 80% or higher. Every returned number also passes verification checks that filter out disconnected and invalid lines before reaching your output table.

Can I find work phone numbers for a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste a small list to test, then use CSV upload or a Clay table pipe for larger runs. Sculptor chains the phone waterfall across Forager, Prospeo, Wiza, and ContactOut on every row automatically. Verified direct-dials, along with catch-all and VoIP flags, populate as dedicated columns so you can review results in bulk before syncing to your sequencer.

Is it legal to collect and use work phone numbers for B2B outreach?

In the US, the TCPA requires prior express written consent before using autodialers on mobile numbers, even in B2B contexts, and the National Do-Not-Call Registry must be scrubbed. In the EU, GDPR permits B2B cold calling under a documented legitimate interest basis, but you must honor opt-out requests promptly. State-level rules and international regulations vary, so always check the rules for your jurisdiction before dialing.
