Number details

What the line does, what it does not do, and what happens at the end of the term, answered before you buy rather than after.

Incoming SMS
As many as arrive during the term. An all-service line takes them from any sender, short codes included; a line listed for Telegram takes that service's only.
Outgoing SMS and calls
Not available. A rented line receives; it does not send and it does not ring.
Type of number
A carrier-issued mobile number, not VoIP. Whether a service accepts it is still up to that service.
Who it is rented to
You alone, for the whole term. It is not drawn from a shared pool, and its messages show only in your account.
How long it stays yours
Exactly the term you paid for. It then returns to the provider, and a term that simply ran its course is not refunded — you had the number for all of it.
Renewing
A renewal goes back to the same line, so the number and every message on it survive. Nothing renews on its own unless you switch it on.
Paying
One charge per term from your prepaid balance, topped up with crypto. There is no subscription to cancel.

How a rented Telegram number works

1

Pick the country

Every country listed has a line in stock. Pick the country whose number you need; its dial code comes with the line.

2

Choose how long you keep it

Every term we can actually source is listed at its own price, and a longer one is quoted at what it really costs rather than at an implied monthly rate. Nothing is prorated and nothing is hidden.

3

Enter the number in Telegram

If Telegram asks for a number, type it as issued. SMS show in your SIMAREA account, and while you renew, the line stays yours.

Why rent a number for Telegram?

A separate number for your Telegram account

A rented line can receive Telegram's codes while your personal number stays for calls and family. Whether Telegram accepts a rented number is up to Telegram.

The same number if Telegram asks again

This is the reason to rent rather than buy a single code. If Telegram asks for a code again, for example on a login from a new device, the number is the same for as long as you renew.

Non-VoIP, carrier-issued

Some marketplaces and apps reject internet (VoIP) numbers on sight. These are carrier-issued mobile lines, not VoIP.

All your messages in one place

SMS show in your SIMAREA account, which opens on a phone or a computer. You do not need a second SIM card for this.

When a rented line earns its keep

For an account you mean to keep

If Telegram asks for a number, give it the line you rent: while you renew, the same line can receive a later code too. A rental lasts the whole term.

For keeping your own number out of it

When a form asks you to verify a number, give it a line you rent, and keep your own number for the people who call you.

What we promise you

No star ratings and no user counts on this page: we have not measured those, and a number nobody measured is worth nothing to you. These are promises instead — each one is behavior you can hold us to.

  • The line is yours alone

    For the whole term. It is not shared or let to anyone else underneath you, and what arrives on it shows only in your account.

  • A renewal never changes your number

    Renewing goes back to the very same line rather than to another provider, so the number you gave out — and every message on it — carries over intact.

  • We never sell a term we cannot source

    A term appears here only while a line for it is in stock. An absent term is honest scarcity, not a price we are keeping back.

  • Nothing renews behind your back

    Automatic renewal stays off until you turn it on. A term you forget about ends quietly — it does not charge you again and it does not roll into another one.

  • A line we cannot hand over costs you nothing

    If provisioning fails after you are charged, the money returns to your balance automatically. No ticket, no waiting, and no line half-bought.

Every country that carries Telegram, priced

Virtual phone number for Telegram: three countries with a Telegram line

Telegram has a line of its own in three countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In each of them the Telegram line is rented for 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, or 12 months.

Telegram's codes also reach the all-service line, which receives SMS from any sender. That line is on sale in the same three countries and in seven more: Austria, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. In the US and the UK the all-service line also comes for 1 day; in the other eight countries it starts at a week.

A number from any of these countries can hold a Telegram account. The country code is part of the number Telegram shows to people allowed to see it, so pick one you are happy to have on the profile.

Why Telegram asks for the number again

Telegram ties each account to a phone number, and that number is your way back in. While you are still signed in on another device, Telegram usually delivers a fresh login code inside the app. The SMS matters when there is no session left to receive it:

  • a new phone, with the old one lost, sold, or wiped;
  • a reinstall after you logged out on every device;
  • a desktop sign-in when no phone session remains to approve it.

That moment is why the number has to still be yours. A rented line still belongs to your SIMAREA account while you renew it, and the code arrives there months after sign-up.

Telegram line or all-service line

Both receive Telegram's SMS. They differ in what else the number is for and in what you can undo after paying. On this page the ladder quotes, for each country and term, whichever of the two costs less, and your order shows which one it is before you pay:

  • The Telegram line is the one listed for Telegram in the US, UK, and Australia, for an account that is the number's only use. It can't be canceled once paid.
  • The all-service line carries Telegram together with any other app's codes, so a single number can sit behind Telegram, an email account, and a marketplace. Change your mind straight after renting, and it can be canceled for a full refund as long as no SMS has reached it and the provider accepts the cancellation. You have two hours at most, sometimes less. To rent it on purpose, start from the country's page, such as the United States one.

With either line, if it stops working during the term for reasons on the provider's side, support replaces the number or refunds the unused part of the term. The refund policy has the full rules.

How long to rent a number for Telegram

Choose the term by how long the account has to stay reachable, not by how long sign-up takes. Signing up needs one code; the code that matters may come a year later.

  • A week or a month fits an account with an end date: a group you set up for an event, a project account you will hand over, or a trial of how Telegram treats the number.
  • Six or twelve months fits your main account, or a channel you run, where losing the number would mean losing the way back in. Switch on auto-renewal and each new term continues the same number.

In the US, UK, and Australia, the Telegram line and the all-service line come in the same week-to-year terms, so picking the line and picking the term are separate decisions.

Keeping your Telegram account when a rental ends

The number is yours while the term is paid, and a renewal always continues the same number. Telegram has no idea when your term ends, so the planning falls to you:

  1. Renew in time. Switch on auto-renewal in your SIMAREA account, or renew before the last day. Auto-renewal stays off unless you turn it on.
  2. Add a cloud password. In Telegram, Settings › Privacy and Security › Two-Step Verification sets a password that Telegram asks for after the SMS code, so the code alone doesn't open the account. Add a recovery email when Telegram offers one.
  3. Move the account before you let go. Telegram's Change Number option moves the account, with its chats and contacts, to another number. Do it while you are still signed in; Telegram sends the confirmation code to the new number.

Once a term lapses, the number returns to the provider. If every Telegram session is lost after that, the number is no longer a way back into the account.

Telegram numbers: questions before you rent

Can I run more than one Telegram account on one line?

No — Telegram binds an account to a phone number, so a second profile needs a second line.

Do I see the messages Telegram sends after signup?

Yes. Every SMS the line receives during the rental appears in your account, not just the first login code.
