Telegram though having very high privacy and security rank, sends shivers down some users’ spines anytime they ask for a phone number to complete the creation of an account. Do they use these numbers afterward for anything? The answer is a very big NO! After verifying your account with your number, Telegram doesn’t need it for anything anymore. So just while you need the phone number to create it, you don’t need one to use it.

With the help of Google Voice, Landline, Burner, Textfree, Text Plus, TextNow, FreePhoneNum.com and receive SMS, you can bypass that security layer with a fake temporal number.
Google Voice: Telegram With No Phone Number.

When connected to this service, they provide you with a phone number that can be temporal ( free ) or long-term ( at a fee ) for the use of telegram verification and many other things you would want to do without your actual number.
This is how it works. The burner servers receive every text and call directed at your number before redirecting them to you. That means the caller or texter will only see your burner phone number but not your actual number.
