Can I verify Telegram with a virtual number?

Yes — buy a temporary Telegram number on OTPWave, receive the SMS code on screen, and complete verification. Availability depends on live provider stock and Telegram's own rules; the buy screen shows real-time availability and each operator's delivery rate, and you're refunded automatically if a code never arrives.

How much does a Telegram number cost?

Pricing is pay-as-you-go and shown before you buy — it varies by country and operator. There's no subscription, and you only pay for numbers that actually deliver the code.

Do I keep my Telegram account after the temporary number expires?

Usually yes. Most social apps only use the SMS code to confirm the account at signup or when re-verifying — once you're in, the account is yours and the temporary number has done its job. Some apps re-check the number later, which OTPWave can't control.

Which country should I choose for Telegram?

Pick based on availability and price — the buy screen lists every country with live stock and each operator's delivery rate for Telegram. If one country is out of stock or has a low rate, another usually works.
