Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Check Your Network and Proxy Settings
In many cases, Telegram does not receive a verification code because the network connection is unstable. Since the app is subject to network restrictions in some regions, the server may not correctly recognize your request if your proxy is configured improperly.
First, make sure your network can access the international internet. Try switching to a different server or using a more stable proxy protocol. If your network latency is too high, the verification request may time out during transmission. Also check that your device clock is synchronized with network time; a large time difference may cause the server to reject the verification request.
Check Your Phone Number and Country Code Format
An incorrectly formatted phone number is a common reason for not receiving a verification code. Make sure the country code you selected is correct. For example, the country code for mainland China is +86. When entering it, make sure there are no extra spaces or special characters between the code and the phone number.
If you use a virtual or VoIP number, Telegram may restrict it from being used to register or sign in. We recommend using a number linked to a physical SIM card. If your phone has SMS filtering enabled, check the blocked-message log to make sure service texts from Telegram have not been incorrectly marked as spam.
Troubleshooting Common Issues with Receiving Telegram Verification Codes
When you sign in to Telegram on a new device, the system first sends a verification code to your other devices where you are already signed in, rather than sending an SMS directly. Check whether you are still signed in to Telegram on a computer or another phone.
Verification code troubleshooting steps
Check signed-in devices: Look on your iPad, desktop version of Telegram, or another phone. The code usually appears in the chat window on one of these devices.
Wait for the countdown to finish: Do not tap “Resend” repeatedly. Too many requests can temporarily block your IP address.
Check SMS permissions: Make sure your phone has not enabled a feature such as “Block messages from unknown senders” or “Block verification codes”.
Try voice verification: If the SMS cannot be delivered, wait for the countdown to finish, then select “Receive code by phone call”.
