The table offers temporary SMS reservations. Fragment’s +888 numbers are a different type of number.
Compare the table’s options and enter the dial code matching your reserved phone in Telegram.
Check the official app’s flow before reserving. SMS availability varies by client and attempt; Telegram chooses the method.
Keep a line you control for future recovery. This reservation lasts up to 20 minutes, depending on the option; the number is then released and cannot be retrieved.
The amount returns to your balance automatically only if no SMS arrives in time. After delivery, bans and restrictions follow Telegram’s rules and do not qualify for a refund.
