Get your Romania number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Romania: a plan to keep the +40 number, or a single-use Telegram OTP number ($0.81).
Open Telegram
Go to the “Your phone number” screen when you start Telegram for the first time.
Enter the +40 number
Select Romania (+40) in Telegram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +40 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 +40 number; type the code into Telegram to finish.

Day-to-day life in Romania runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, yet Telegram remains the app for channels, groups and communities where a local number looks natural. A +40 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Tech hubs in Cluj and Bucharest: Software and outsourcing firms in Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest and Iași work with clients who expect a Romanian contact number.
Telegram accounts are tied to the number for life; keeping it lets you log in on new devices and recover the account.
