Login to Telegram Without a Phone Number

Login to Telegram without a phone number

Security of Telegram is designed in such a way that when entering your account, you need to enter a verification code. It is required in two cases:

  • When you sign in from a new device;
  • When you have logged out of the account using the "Sign out" button, that is, you have logged out, and you are trying to re-enter this account on the same device. 

This verification code comes to the Telegram application on another device (for example, a computer version), or to the mobile phone number that was specified when registering a Telegram account.

But what about situations when the SIM card or the phone itself has been lost? In this case, you can get into your Telegram account only if you have access to the application on another device and you have not left your account using the "Log out" button. For example, you lost your phone and want to enter Telegram from your tablet. When you log into your account, the application will require a verification code. You open Telegram on your computer and find the code in the service notification. 

☝️
If you nevertheless logged out on all devices, then without a phone number you will not receive a verification code in any way and will not get into your Telegram account.

The Telegram developers themselves recommend, for security reasons, to always exit the application by clicking the "Exit" button, but, as you can see, this method has its drawback. It is better to set a local password code, which will restrict unauthorized access to your account. 

It is also worth noting that you can find many applications on the network that supposedly will help restore access to your account without a phone number. Our editors do not recommend using such applications. At best, when you install such applications, you will receive a ton of annoying ads, at worst — viruses, Trojans and scams with paid services. Be vigilant and don't rush to download questionable apps. 

Problems Entering Telegram

Problems entering Telegram

Sometimes you may have problems logging into your Telegram account. Let's take a look at some of them. 

Access Code Does Not Come

A verification code in the form of a five-digit number is supplied in a Telegram notification on another device. But if the notification did not come, then select the "Get the code via SMS" option. 

If the SMS also did not come, then in this case, check if you entered the correct phone number that is attached to your Telegram account. If the number is correct, then the problem may be the quality of the mobile coverage. In this case, you need to call the provider (operator) and find out if everything is in order with the connection, if there are no interruptions in the delivery of SMS. If the operator confirms that everything is fine with the connection, then you just need to contact the Telegram support service

Proxy and VPN Problem

Telegram Blocking

If you are in a country where Telegram is blocked, and you use a proxy or VPN, then the problem of entering may lie precisely in them. 

In the case of a proxy, the connection may be unstable, or the proxy itself may be damaged. Also, some proxies may be officially blocked in your country of residence. Or the proxy itself may conflict with the operating system of your device. In any case, the optimal solution to the problem is to change the proxy. It is advisable to use paid private proxies, the quality of which is much higher than that of free ones.

In the case of a VPN, there are fewer login problems. Usually, logging in is problematic either when the Internet is unstable, or when the VPN application conflicts with your device's antivirus software. In the latter case, it is enough to add the VPN application to the antivirus exclusion list and then the problem will be solved. 

How to bypass Telegram

Many Login Attempts

Many login attempts

If you tried unsuccessfully to enter Telegram many times in a short period of time, then you may receive the message "Too many attempts, please try again later." In this case, you just have to wait 24 hours. After this period of time, you can again try to enter Telegram.

To find out how much time is left before the repeated login attempt, you need to log into the web version of Telegram. When you try to log in, you will get the familiar message "Too many attempts, please try again later." By clicking on the button "Show technical details" under it, you will see a message where part of the text will be "FLOOD_WAIT_XXX", where XXX will mean the number of seconds left before trying to log in again.

So, now you know that the process of entering Telegram is not a complicated procedure. It is enough to have at hand a phone with a number attached to your account, as well as access to another device where you have already logged into Telegram.
