Can I Register Telegram with an Email Address?
· One min read
No, you cannot. Telegram accounts can only be registered using a phone number — email alone cannot be used for registration. Important note: Telegram’s account system is based on phone numbers. Every account must be linked to a valid mobile number. Without a phone number, it is not possible to create a Telegram account. Email is only used as a security enhancement (such as for two-step verification), not for account registration. However, you can link your email when enabling two-step verification (to recover your password if needed). If you forget your password, you’ll also be able to recover your Telegram account via email, provided it's already been linked.
