Hello everyone! I have a small issue. I wanted to remove all media accounts associated with my phone number. One account to remove was Telegram, I deleted the app long ago, but never my account.

So, I downloaded Telegram again, tried to log in, and it keeps texting the login code to my number on Telegram, it won’t do SMS. And I have no other telegrams sessions anywhere else where I can log in. I’m stuck, can’t log in to delete it.

I went on their support website to file a complaint, and they never got back to me. Is there another way for me to delete my actual account if they won’t let me log back on?

I guess I have 2 questions at this point, either how can I deal with Telegram, and or is there way to clean my phone number of all accounts at once? Any ideas are appreciated.

TL;DR Can’t log in to Telegram, want to delete account, how can I achieve this?

    Do shortcode text messages work from other companies? If not, it’s a device/carrier problem.

      They do work for other companies, Telegram says on the app they’re texting my telegram specifically. I can’t change it to SMS.
