Step by step
How to verify Telegram with a Macau number
One Telegram code on a +853 number costs $1.26 — the 26th cheapest of 32 countries in Asia. Full Telegram walkthrough and troubleshooting: Telegram verification guide.
Get your Macau number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Macau: a plan to keep the +853 number, or a single-use Telegram OTP number ($1.26).
Open Telegram
Go to the “Your phone number” screen when you start Telegram for the first time.
Enter the +853 number
Select Macau (+853) in Telegram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +853 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 +853 number; type the code into Telegram to finish.
Tips for Macau numbers
- After +853, Macau mobile numbers begin with 6 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Malaysia costs $0.20 for Telegram, against $1.26 here.
- Hide the number from other users: Privacy and Security → Phone Number → Nobody.
Why use a Macau number for Telegram?
Day-to-day life in Macau runs on WeChat, WhatsApp and Facebook, yet Telegram remains the app for channels, groups and communities where a local number looks natural. A +853 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Zhuhai cross-border life: People living in Zhuhai or Hengqin and working in Macau keep a +853 number alongside a mainland one.
Telegram accounts are tied to the number for life; keeping it lets you log in on new devices and recover the account.

FAQ
Macau number for Telegram: FAQ
How much is a Telegram code with a Macau number?
A single-use Telegram code on a Macau (+853) number costs $1.26 (as of October 15, 2026). That makes a Macau number the 26th cheapest of 32 countries in Asia for Telegram, and cheaper than 23 of the 200 countries where Telegram codes are sold. The cheapest option nearby is Malaysia (+60) at $0.20. Among the 113 apps we sell Macau codes for, Telegram is the 95th cheapest.
Can I use a Macau number for Telegram?
Yes. Telegram expects a real mobile number, and every Macau (+853) number we sell is one. If Telegram turns yours down, the 7-day replacement guarantee swaps it for another Macau number; a single Telegram code that never arrives is refunded to your PhoneBorn balance.
OTP number or phone-number plan for Telegram in Macau?
One Telegram code on a Macau number costs $1.26 and covers a single Telegram check; a plan (from $1.80/month on the 12-month plan) keeps the +853 number and receives Telegram codes as often as Telegram asks. Telegram sends its 5-digit login code by SMS (or inside Telegram on a device that is already logged in): a plan receives SMS and incoming calls, an OTP number the SMS code only.
