Telegram Launches New Way to Verify Phone Numbers
He noted that this method is much cheaper, faster and safer than traditional SMS verification methods. This is a Telegram gateway.
According to the founder of Messenger, Telegram has already verified the phone numbers of almost a billion users, which will save other organizations money. Sending one code costs $0.01 worldwide. If the number is not linked to your Telegram account, there is no fee for verification.
The cost of sending an authentication code via messenger can be 50 times cheaper than the traditional method via SMS message, but it is also vulnerable from an information security point of view.
Pavel Durov announced five new improvements related to the gifting feature and three updates related to hashtags on October 9. In addition, users can now add media files to messages even after they have been sent, and see when the text was last edited.
