Get your Bhutan number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Bhutan: a plan to keep the +975 number, or a single-use Telegram OTP number ($0.50).
Open Telegram
Go to the “Your phone number” screen when you start Telegram for the first time.
Enter the +975 number
Select Bhutan (+975) in Telegram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +975 into Telegram.
Enter the Telegram code
Telegram sends a 5-digit login code by SMS (or inside Telegram on a device that is already logged in). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +975 number; type the code into Telegram to finish.

Day-to-day life in Bhutan runs on WeChat, Facebook and Messenger, yet Telegram remains the app for channels, groups and communities where a local number looks natural. A +975 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Bhutanese in Australia: A fast-growing Bhutanese community in Perth and other Australian cities keeps a +975 number to stay close to family in Thimphu and Paro.
Telegram accounts are tied to the number for life; keeping it lets you log in on new devices and recover the account.
