kidster Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Do you need to own the "live" number to keep a Telegram account after verification? Eg. I used 12345678 from TPG to activate my Telegram account. I did no renew when the free plan ended and TPG recycles this number. What will happen to my Telegram account if the new owner uses the same number to register for Telegram? Will I lose access to my Telegram account?

kinkienips Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think when the new TPG number user tries to register your number on Telegram will be prompted that an existing account is associated with this number. I think they can choose to access existing account by choose reset password? Because they can request a OTP to send to the number for login/reset password. But my question is why you don’t want to link it to your existing number(which is another number that you use for call/sms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can only verify with telegram to check whether can it tie to your account aside from using your previous number instead.
