Open Telegram
Go to the “Your phone number” screen when you start Telegram for the first time.
Enter the +673 number
Select Brunei (+673) in Telegram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +673 into Telegram.

Day-to-day life in Brunei runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, yet Telegram remains the app for channels, groups and communities where a local number looks natural. A +673 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Borneo cross-border travel: People moving between Brunei and the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak keep a +673 number for Brunei-side contacts and services.
Telegram accounts are tied to the number for life; keeping it lets you log in on new devices and recover the account.
