RocketReach and Trestle partnership verifies 190 million phone numbers with a 2x higher connection rate

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RocketReach, the leading sales and lead intelligence platform trusted by more than 30 million users and 95% of the S&P 500, announced their partnership with Trestle, a market leader in enterprise identity verification solutions. This strategic partnership enriches RocketReach’s database of 190 million verified phone numbers with Trestle’s enterprise-level identity data APIs.

Trestle processes more than 500 million queries monthly, delivering low-latency, real-time identity intelligence. As an organization that values data accuracy over inflated coverage, Trestle is lauded for their leading global phone verification performance.

“RocketReach is setting a new verification standard for every phone number they deliver, and we’re proud to be their verification partner. Contact verification usually stops at whether a number exists, without transparency into the checks really taking place. At Trestle, we pair authoritative identity data and proprietary activity signals to grade the quality of every phone record. Pairing verified data with RocketReach’s industry-leading contact database enables sales, recruiting, and marketing teams to form high-quality connections with confidence.” 

— Jordan Reynolds, CRO & Co-founder, Trestle

“Our partnership with Trestle is a huge unlock for RocketReach customers. We’re looking down the barrel of an agentic future, and that future relies heavily on data that’s trusted, verified, and secure. As we prepare to guide our customers through this shift, we can’t be more excited to offer additional phone verification through Trestle. This collaboration strengthens our existing verification process, and allows us to deliver phone grades and filters that boost our customers’ ability to form human connections in an AI era.”

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach 

Every phone number, verified

While traditional phone validation tools offer high-level information – such as a phone’s country code, line type category, “valid” or “invalid” status – few enrich phone data with actionable activity scores and quality grading. RocketReach and Trestle’s strategic partnership aims to address this gap by verifying 100% of RocketReach’s phone database. Analysis conducted by RocketReach found that contacts with phone numbers verified by Trestle are twice as likely to result in a successful connection as contacts that have not been verified yet.

In addition to Trestle-verified phone numbers, all RocketReach users have access to key enhancements such as:

New confidence grading for phones (A, A-, B) that automatically remove invalid (F grade) numbersEnriched line types including mobile, direct dial, and office phones – backed by Trestle’s 99+% accuracyEnhanced search filters that surface contacts by mobile, direct dial, or office phone numbersNew phone grade-powered search that allows users to specify a minimum phone gradeExpanded API support for phone grades, line types, and user contact methods

Trusted data for all

Unlike competitors that charge extra for phone verification, RocketReach is committed to delivering verified sales and contact intelligence from day one. New and existing phone numbers in RocketReach will automatically be verified by Trestle at no additional cost. This added layer of verification gives Pro, Ultimate, and Custom RocketReach users immediate access to vetted phone numbers, line types, and confidence grades directly from their accounts.

“Data is the backbone for any business. That’s why we approach verification as the standard, not an add-on gated behind a paywall. By offering instant access to Trestle-verified numbers, we give our customers the autonomy to skip questionable phone numbers and invest more of their time into driving successful connections.” 

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach

GSMA: Mobile Industry to Contribute US$1.4 Trillion to APAC Economy by 2030 as Digital Trust, AI, Digital Sovereignty and Resilience Take Centre Stage at M360 ASEAN

Published

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile technologies and services are projected to contribute US$1.4 trillion to the Asia Pacific economy by 2030, a 40% increase from the US$1 trillion generated today, according to the GSMA’s new Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2026 report.

Released today in Kuala Lumpur ahead of next month’s M360 ASEAN 2026, the report finds that the next phase of digital growth will be shaped not only by connectivity, but by how governments, operators and technology providers respond to four converging priorities: the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), declining digital trust, demand for more resilient digital infrastructure, and growing interest in digital sovereignty.

Key findings:

5G connections are forecast to reach 1.5 billion by 2030, representing 50% of all mobile connections in Asia Pacific.Operators are expected to invest more than US$200 billion in capital expenditure between 2025 and 2030.The mobile ecosystem supported 18 million jobs across the region in 2025.More than 700 million adults remain offline despite being covered by mobile broadband networks.

Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: “The mobile industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping Asia Pacific’s digital future. As this report shows, economies and societies across the region are becoming increasingly digital, with mobile networks serving as the foundation for AI adoption, digital trust and resilient digital infrastructure. As governments place greater emphasis on digital sovereignty and citizens expect stronger protection from scams, fraud and cyber threats, the responsibilities placed on our industry continue to grow. M360 ASEAN brings together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators to address these challenges, strengthen trust and ensure digital transformation delivers long-term economic and social benefits for everyone.”

Many of the issues highlighted in the report, including AI adoption, digital trust, digital sovereignty, network resilience and digital inclusion, will be explored in depth at M360 ASEAN, taking place in Kuala Lumpur on 9-10 September 2026.
