When you try to sign in to Telegram but do not receive a verification code for a while, it can be very frustrating. As a globally popular instant messaging app, Telegram relies on SMS or voice verification for sign-in. If you cannot get a code, do not panic; the issue is often related to your network environment, phone-number format, or server delays. This article helps you quickly troubleshoot these common problems so you can get back to your chats.

Frequently asked questions
Check your network and device settings
Often, verification codes fail to arrive because your network can't connect to the official servers. Since Telegram servers are located overseas, an unstable connection or an incompatible proxy node may prevent the verification request from being sent successfully.
First, make sure your device is connected to the internet. Try switching networks, such as from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or choose a stable proxy node. Also check that your device time is set to "Set Automatically." If your device's time differs too much from the server's, the verification request may be rejected.
Check your phone number and country code
When entering your phone number, it's easy to overlook the country code. For users in mainland China, make sure the correct country code, "+86," is selected. Don't enter "0" or "+86" again before your phone number; the system recognizes it automatically.
If you've signed in with your phone number on another device before, check whether two-step verification is enabled there. If it is, you may need to confirm the sign-in request on the old device or verify using your linked email address. Also check whether your mobile carrier blocks international SMS. Some carriers enable frequent-spam filtering by default, which may cause verification codes sent by Telegram to be blocked.
Troubleshooting common Telegram sign-in issues
When you sign in on a new device, repeatedly requesting verification codes may trigger the system's security protections, preventing you from receiving another code for a period of time. If this happens, stop trying and wait at least 24 hours before trying again.
Troubleshooting steps:
Confirm that you entered your phone number correctly, especially the country code.
Check your phone's SMS filtering log for any messages that may have been blocked by mistake.
Make sure your phone has a good signal and can receive international text messages.
Try the voice verification option. If you still aren't receiving text messages, tap “Receive code via call” on the screen.
Check whether the account is already signed in on another device, such as a desktop computer or tablet. Sometimes the verification code is sent directly to a device where you're already signed in.
