How it works
How a Telegram login code reaches you
Telegram has no separate registration form. You enter a phone number, Telegram sends a five-digit login code, and if no account exists on that number it creates one and asks for your name.
Where the code goes depends on the number's history. On a number with no active Telegram session the code is sent by SMS. If the number is already signed in on another device, Telegram delivers the code as a message inside that app instead, and an SMS may never be sent.
That second case is the one to watch on any number that has had an earlier holder: if their session is still alive, the code goes to them and not to your order page.
What goes wrong
What goes wrong with Telegram codes
The code went to another device
If Telegram says it sent the code to the app on another device, an account on this number is still signed in somewhere. No SMS will come. Cancel and take a different number.
Too many attempts
Telegram limits how often a number or a device may request codes and answers with a wait time once the limit is reached. Trying again straight away only extends it.
Telegram offers something other than SMS
For some numbers Telegram offers a phone call, or asks you to confirm an email address, instead of texting a code. An order here shows SMS only.
Someone else's chats appear
If you log in and find an existing account, the number's earlier holder never deleted it. That account is not yours. Log out and use a different number.
Practical tips
Tips for a clean Telegram sign-in
- Use an official Telegram app or the web client, and enter the number in international format with its country code.
- Ask for the code once. If the screen says the code was sent to another device, do not wait for an SMS.
- After the first login, set a two-step verification password with a recovery email under Privacy and Security. Without one, whoever next receives SMS on this number can sign in to the account.
- Check the auto-delete period for inactive accounts in the same settings screen and choose one that fits how often you will use the account.
- Telegram's terms of service and its spam limits apply to every account, however it was verified.
Know the limits
When not to rely on a one-time number for Telegram
An account with no two-step password
Telegram verifies new devices by code to the number or to a device already signed in. You will not hold the number later, so an account you care about needs the password and recovery email set on day one.
Taking over an account already on the number
If an old account shows up after the code, it belongs to the previous holder of the number, whatever access the code gave you.
Bots
A Telegram bot is created through BotFather inside an existing account. It does not need a phone number of its own.
What the Telegram delivery figure counts
An order for Telegram counts as delivered only when its code reached the order page. For Telegram, an order where the code was delivered inside the app on someone else's device counts as not delivered, because no SMS reached you.

Telegram questions
Telegram verification, answered
How much does a Telegram verification number cost?
From $0.10 to $0.51 per code today, depending on the country. The lowest Telegram price is for Nigeria, and the highest is for the United Kingdom.
Is a Telegram code five or six digits?
Telegram login codes are five digits. If you are asked for something more after entering it, the account has two-step verification switched on, which is a separate password set by the account's owner.
Telegram says the code was sent to my other device. Where is the SMS?
There will not be one. That message means an account on this number is still signed in somewhere, so Telegram delivers the code inside that app. Cancel the order after two minutes for a full refund and choose another number.
Will I keep access after the number expires?
The devices you signed in on stay signed in. To add a new device later, Telegram sends a code to the number or to a device that is already signed in, so set a two-step password with a recovery email and keep at least one device logged in.
