🌋 Say Goodbye to SMS: Telegram Introduces New Verification Method
posted 15 Oct 2024
Telegram, the popular messaging platform, has unveiled Telegram Gateway, a new feature designed to streamline phone number verification for online services.
With this update, users can bypass the need for SMS verification, provided they have the Telegram app installed on their phones.
The announcement came directly from Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov.
Telegram Gateway in Action
When signing up for a website, mobile app, or marketplace, users can now opt for the "Get code through Telegram" option. After entering their Telegram username, they’ll receive a confirmation code almost instantly.
Simply enter this code into the required field on the site to complete the registration process.
Here are the key benefits of this verification method:
- Fast Delivery: The code reaches users almost immediately, cutting down waiting time.
- Ease of Use: With Telegram already widely adopted, no extra setup is required.
- Enhanced Security: Telegram’s encryption ensures data remains protected.
- Modern Solution: SMS may fail in areas with weak signals, while Telegram works fine with just Wi-Fi.
*Nearly all online marketplaces use phone numbers for promotional campaigns, which can be rather pushy. By using Telegram Gateway, your number remains hidden, preventing spammers from reaching you.
How Telegram Gateway Benefits Businesses
The Telegram Gateway service offers businesses a budget-friendly solution, with attractive pricing options.
At only 1 cent per verification code, Telegram messages are much cheaper than regular SMS, helping businesses cut down on their customer verification expenses.
Additionally, quicker code delivery means faster user sign-ups and fewer drop-offs, which can greatly improve conversion rates.
