Some solutions when Telegram fails to send SMS

If you do not receive the confirmation code during the Telegram login process, you can follow the instructions below to fix it.

Check your network connection and login phone number

First, you need to check if your phone has an internet connection or not. If you use wifi, you need to check if the wifi is stable and strong. If you use 4G, check to see if your network subscription package still has data! Because Telegram needs a network connection to operate. If you don't have it, you definitely won't be able to log in and receive the verification code.

Next, you should check whether the phone number you logged in/registered with is correct or not? Does the SIM have signal and is it working? Sometimes the cause is not because of Telegram but because your SIM is faulty or one-way blocked, for example.

Receive code on Telegram on another device

As the admin shared, if you log into Telegram on another device (same account) like your computer, there is a high possibility that the code will be sent to Telegram on this device. In fact, Telegram often prioritizes sending confirmation codes on Telegram on the other device you are logging in to. When that doesn't work, choose sending via SMS or some other form.

In case you want to receive the code via SMS and not on another device. You can click on the line ' Send the code as an SMS ' as shown.

Receive verification code using another method

Not only sending SMS messages, but according to the admin tried on his Telegram, currently there are two other forms: sending via gmail and calling via phone number. Therefore, if the system asks to log in to gmail and there is a notification to send the code via gmail. You need to access the gmail you logged in to get the code. Next, if the system sends a notification to call to provide the code, you should also pay attention to the phone and receive the call, listen clearly for the code to enter as required.

1. Restart the Telegram app and phone.

3. Uninstall and reinstall the Telegram application on the device.
4. Register with another phone number.
