The claim that *“all numbers are accurate and active”* is often **too good to be true** unless the provider:
*
* Collects data through **opt-in methods**
* Regularly **validates and updates** their records
* Is willing to sign a **data compliance agreement**
Buying or using unverified mobile databases may lead to:
| Risk | Consequence |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Fake or outdated numbers | Low delivery rates, wasted time and money |
| No user consent | Legal penalties under data privacy laws |
| Blacklisting | SMS/voice platform bans or carrier restrictions |
| Poor brand reputation | Users may report your business as spam |

## Legal Note
To **legally use a mobile number list**, the kenya phone number list is required in most countries:
* The **individual gave explicit consent** to be contacted
* You provide a **clear opt-out mechanism**
* Your messages are **transparent and non-deceptive**
* You comply with local laws like:
* **GDPR (EU)**
* **TCPA / CAN-SPAM (USA)**
* **Data Protection Act (Kenya, Nigeria, etc.)**
* **CASL (Canada)**
