Although Telegram is a safe and privacy-sensitive application, one of the things that are confusing for some people in terms of privacy is that you must enter your phone number to join and use this messenger. Telegram sends a text or voice message to your phone number to confirm you, and for this reason, it is mandatory to use your phone number, but is there a way to bypass this route and not enter your number? Stay with us in the rest of this article on the Spy family blog to find out how to use Telegram without having a phone number.
When registering for your account, you must enter your number to receive a voice call, a text message, or a verification code. This SMS contains an OTP, which will be used to verify your credentials. Once you receive that SMS on your phone number, you will no longer use that number when using your account unless you want to change your password. Therefore, you no longer need a phone number to use Telegram; you only need a number to complete the verification. So, for proper verification, there are many methods that you can use to get a temporary phone number and get verified. We will discuss all the methods you can use.
