How To Create Telegram Account Without Phone Number?
Although a valid phone number is compulsory to set up an account on Telegram, there are a few hacks to creating a Telegram account without a phone number. We have listed the alternatives below so that you can continue making a new account without any problems:
- Now, if you live in the US, you can use Google voice which provides a free phone number to verify the Telegram account.
- If you do not want to use your phone number, you can create an account using a friend’s or a family member’s phone number.
- You can also use a temporary or a spare number other than your primary phone number to create and log in to Telegram.
Another alternative method, founded by the founder of Telegram himself, Mr Pavel Durov, is to buy anonymous numbers from Fragment, a decentralized blockchain platform.
Once you buy the anonymous number, the feature will be activated. All you have to do is go to the Fragment’s official website, select an anonymous number, place a bid on that particular number, verify with an OTP, complete the transaction with a payment, and you can get started with the Telegram account.
That’s how you can create a Telegram account without a phone number anonymously.
