You must use the Telegram mobile app to receive the SMS verification code. Desktop clients and third-party apps do not support registration.
Telegram’s verification SMS is sent via third-party platforms or service providers.
Check if the verification message was marked as spam by your phone's system.
Try registering via Telegram X (both Telegram and Telegram X are official clients. In our tests, Telegram X has a higher success rate and faster delivery of verification codes).
If you're still unable to receive the code, consider using a virtual number or temporary SMS service; however, be aware that this comes with a risk of account suspension.
When logging into Telegram, the verification code is first sent to your already logged-in devices. Please check the message from the official Telegram account on any device where you’re still logged in.
If there are no active sessions, Telegram will send an SMS verification code to your phone number.
If you are switching devices or have reinstalled the app, it’s best to remove previously logged-in devices beforehand to avoid issues.
Degen is a third-party Telegram client, and third-party apps cannot receive SMS verification codes during registration.
Please register using the official Telegram or Telegram X app, then log in to Degen afterward.
Stuck on the phone number input page: This may be due to network issues. Try switching to a different network or proxy.
Stuck on the verification code page: Your account may be logged in on another device. In this case, the verification code will be sent to the device that is already logged in. Please check your other device to receive the login code.
This account is not logged in on any other device. Go back to the official Telegram app to log in and receive the SMS verification code. If the SMS doesn't arrive, try using Telegram X instead.
