Virtual Number for Telegram: A Step-by-Step Guide

Telegram requires a phone number to sign up. Follow the steps below to complete verification with a one-time number.

Step by step

1. Create an account on CodeSMS and top up your balance.
2. On the Receive SMS screen, select the Telegram service.
3. Choose a country that's in stock and buy the number.
4. In Telegram, enter the number along with its country code.
5. Enter the code that appears in your panel into the app.

If the code doesn't arrive, cancel the number and the fee is refunded to your balance. You can then try another country.

Secure your account

Since the number is single-use, do the following right after setup:

• Two-step verification: Set a password under Settings → Privacy and Security.
• Recovery email: Add your email address in two-step verification.
• Number visibility: Set your phone number visibility to "Nobody."
