I've been looking into join airdrops recently and it seems that many of the require telegram. I'd like to know if anyone has found workarounds for how to bypass handing over your telephone number in order to make an account on telegram. This is annoying since so many airdrops seems to require it.
For this purpose, sign up for telegrams, use a new sim card from your provider, which is one option. Or, the second option is to activate the virtual phone number at the provider. You must verify this option if your provider allows it. Virtual number is more expensive than new sim /monthly fees apply/. I would go to the first option and buy a new sim card.
