Telegram is a cross-platform IM service that works on mobile devices and desktops. It is currently a free app, but in the future, Telegram plans to add premium subscriptions that give access to certain features, such as extra stickers. Telegram is especially known for handling privacy and providing e2ee encryption (when you use their secret chats) to its users. As you might have noticed, you can only sign up using your mobile phone number, which is odd, especially for a service generalized around privacy and security. So, how can I create a Telegram account without a phone number? There's an easy answer to that; SMSPool allows you to verify Telegram accounts with their Telegram SMS verifications priced at 0.46 dollar; find out how to register a Telegram account in less than 5 minutes!

What do I need to register a Telegram account?

How do I create a Telegram account?

Creating a Telegram account using our Telegram SMS verifications is easy! All you need to do is follow these five steps.

Download the Telegram app on the App Store/Play Store.

Attempting to register a Telegram account on your desktop will NOT work; you have to use a mobile device.

Open the Telegram App on your mobile.

After opening the Telegram App, you will be greeted with a simple page with a "Start Messaging" button. Press that button
and it should open a screen that asks for your phone number.

Fill in your phone number or get a phone number from SMSPool

You will need your phone number for this step, or you can get a free Telegram SMS verification from SMSPool. But of course, the paid phone numbers work the best, so we will use them for this tutorial. If you don't know how to get a paid phone number, please read our guide on how to get a paid SMS verification

As we are from the US, we will get a US phone number and fill it in on Telegram. After filling it in, press the arrow on the bottom right. It'll ask if this is the correct number; press yes, and it should send you an SMS verification.

Receive your SMS code.

If you use your phone number, you should receive an SMS that looks like this: Telegram code: 29302 You can also tap on this link to log in: https://t.me/login/29302. If you did, fill in the 5-number code; in our case, it is 29302, as shown in our screenshot.

Fill in the SMS code

And voila! You have registered your Telegram account without needing a phone number within five steps. Are we running into issues when using our phone number? Feel free to contact our support team; we will help you as soon as possible! However, I have listed some common issues below.

Why am I not getting a Telegram SMS verification?

If you attempt to register a Telegram account on a desktop, try it on a physical mobile device (not an emulator).
If your device/IP is flagged for creating too many accounts, try another mobile device or IP.
You have been ghost-banned for spam, or the IP is banned for spam.
The phone number does not correlate with your country; for example, a Russian phone number is less likely to work if you live in the US than a US phone number.
If you downloaded Telegram from unofficial sources, download it directly from Google Play or the App Store.
You use a rooted device or a custom rom such as CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, which Telegram could block when registering accounts. Please try registering with the default operating system for that device.

Common issues for Telegram

The code has been sent to another device

This usually means that you have been fingerprinted, meaning your device or IP is flagged. We suggest changing your device and IP and trying again with a different phone number.
