Permanent Virtual Number for Telegram
The number becomes yours with no expiry date. It is tied to your service account, never goes back into circulation and receives Telegram SMS codes for as long as you need the account. One payment, and no monthly fee.

Who needs a permanent number
◆
Main account instead of a SIM
Your Telegram lives on a number that won’t get lost along with a SIM card. It won’t pass to another subscriber when a contract is reissued, and it doesn’t depend on a carrier.
☰
Channels and bots
A channel admin account has to survive session resets. On your own number, you can always request a new code and get your access back.
◎
Company work profile
The number belongs to the business, not to an employee. People come and go, but access to chats and clients stays with the company.
Why buy a permanent Telegram number
Telegram logs devices out from time to time: an app update, a session cleanup, a new phone. Each time, you need a fresh confirmation code (your Telegram OTP). If the number has expired by then, the account is lost for good. A permanent virtual number for Telegram removes this risk completely. You can request a code a month from now or three years from now.
The math is simple. Monthly formats win on short tasks: renting a number for Telegram costs less upfront and needs no investment. But over a year or more, a one-time purchase costs less than regular renewals. More importantly, you no longer have to remember them. A missed renewal is the most frustrating way to lose an account.
You can also move an existing account to the number you bought. Change the number in Telegram settings, and your chats, subscriptions and contacts stay in place. The confirmation code arrives in your dashboard. This way, your main profile “moves” from your personal SIM to a number that you own, not the carrier.
Why buy a “permanent” number from a service, not a private seller
Marketplaces like FunPay are full of “selling a Telegram number forever” listings. The problem is that there is no way to check the seller.

- The number is tied to your service account — nobody can sell it a second time
- The number is checked before it is issued: no one else’s account on it
- SMS codes arrive in your dashboard, not forwarded by a stranger
- If a problem shows up when you link it — replacement under the guarantee
A private seller of “forever” numbers
- The same number can be sold to several buyers
- The number’s history is unknown: someone else’s account may have been on it
- After the deal, the seller disappears along with any guarantees
- Confirmation codes come through chat messages, until the seller gets tired of replying
Prices by country
The table shows the bottom of the range: the price of a one-time code reception in each country. Permanent ownership costs more, and you will see its price in the catalog when you pick a country.
Catalog prices: registration number (SMS reception), billed monthly — updated automatically. One-off tasks are covered by disposable numbers — from $2.
Questions about permanent numbers
Is “permanent” really permanent, or is it just marketing?
It is real. The number is tied to your service account and taken out of circulation. It will not go to another customer in a year, or in five. There is no monthly fee and nothing to renew. “Permanent” here means this: as long as you need the number, it is yours.
What happens to the number if your service shuts down?
An honest answer: the unlimited term is backed by our telecom infrastructure, and like any service, we are not immortal. So right after linking the number, do two things. Turn on a cloud password (two-step verification) and add a recovery email in Telegram settings. With them, you can restore access to the account even without an SMS to the number.
Can I move my current account from my personal SIM to this number?
Yes, it takes a couple of minutes. In Telegram settings, choose “Change Number” and enter the one you bought. Your chats, contacts, subscriptions and history stay fully intact. The confirmation code arrives in your dashboard. After that, you can even throw your personal SIM away.
When does a one-time purchase pay off compared to monthly billing?
Usually at around the one-year mark: by then, the sum of regular renewals catches up with the one-time price. If the account will surely live longer, buying is cheaper. On top of that, the main risk of the monthly model disappears: a missed renewal. Short tasks, on the other hand, are better served by the monthly format.
What does “never returns to the pool” mean, and why does it matter?
Regular service numbers go round in circles: used by one customer, then quarantine, then issued to the next. A permanent number is taken out of this cycle for good. For you, it means no one else’s account will ever appear on the number. And nobody “from the past” will try to restore their profile on it.
Will I have to pay for or renew anything in the future?
No. You pay once at purchase, and that’s it: no monthly fee, no auto-charges, no renewals. This is the main difference of the format. Your account does not depend on whether you remembered the next payment.
Can I hand the number over to someone else — for example, when selling a channel?
Yes. The number is linked to your service account, so it is handed over together with access to that account. This is common practice when a channel is sold: the new owner gets both the admin account and control over the number. For a formal transfer, contact support.
I haven’t logged in for six months — does the number still work?
Yes. The number has no expiry date. Request a code when you log in, and the SMS will arrive in your dashboard just like on day one. There is only one rule: don’t delete the service account the number is tied to.
Why are “forever” numbers on marketplaces cheaper than yours?
Because they sell a promise, not ownership. You cannot check how many people the seller has already given that number to, or whose account was on it. After the deal, both the seller and the guarantees vanish. Our price covers what people buy this format for: locking the number to you in our system, a clean-history check and replacement under the guarantee.
Which countries offer permanent numbers?
You can see the list of countries and prices in the catalog. It is shorter than for short-term formats, because permanent ownership is not available for every number range. If the country you need is missing, contact support. We will find the closest alternative for your audience.
Your own Telegram number — forever
One-time payment, permanent ownership and a confirmation code whenever you need it. If something goes wrong when you link the number, we will replace it under the guarantee.
