How to get your Telegram code

Telegram sends the login code to your other Telegram sessions first and only sends an SMS when you don’t have one, or when you tap “Send code via SMS”.

  1. 01

    In Telegram, choose the country and paste the number from your dashboard.

  2. 02

    If Telegram says it sent the code to another app, tap “Send code via SMS” (it can appear after a short timer).

  3. 03

    Type the 5-digit code from your CoveSMS dashboard.

If the Telegram code doesn’t arrive

  • Look for the “Send code via SMS” link: without it, Telegram may only try to deliver the code in-app.
  • Telegram can ask for an email address before sending the SMS. That step is normal; the SMS comes after it.
  • No SMS within 20 minutes means the price goes back to your balance automatically. Switching between Server 1 and Server 2 often helps, since they use different number pools.

Cheapest countries for Telegram right now

Across messaging apps, 8% of recent numbers on CoveSMS received their code. The rest went back to the balance automatically.

Good to know: Telegram logs you out of new devices with an SMS code sent to the same number. Add a login email and a cloud password in Settings › Privacy and Security so you can get back in without the number.

Before you verify

  • If Telegram offers to send the code to another device, tap “Send via SMS”.
  • Pick “send SMS” if the app offers a call — numbers are SMS-only.
  • Once you’re in, turn on an authenticator app for login codes. The number is single-use and won’t help you recover the account later.

Telegram number: questions

Does Telegram accept virtual numbers?

Often, but not always. Acceptance changes by country and over time, which is why every number goes back to your balance automatically if no code arrives.

Why did I get a code by Telegram instead of SMS?

Telegram prefers to send codes to devices where you are already logged in. On a brand-new account there is no other device, so the SMS option appears.

Does Telegram accept these numbers?

They’re mobile numbers, which Telegram generally accepts. If one is refused, cancel it for your balance back and try another country.

What if the code doesn’t come?

Ask Telegram to resend once. If nothing arrives within 20 minutes, the number closes and the price goes back to your balance automatically.

Can I use a US number from another country?

Yes. Choose the matching country code in the app (+1 for the US and Canada, +44 for the UK) and enter the rest of the number.

Will my account stay on this number?

The number is single-use. Add your own email and an authenticator app as soon as you’re in, so you never depend on it again.
