Verification method for business/Telegram

Telegram messenger has introduced a new way for businesses to authenticate their customers' phone numbers – Telegram Gateway.

This was announced by the founder of the social network Pavlo Durov on his Telegram channel .

According to him, this method is much cheaper, faster and safer than traditional SMS verification. This will save companies millions by sending verification codes to their users directly through Telegram.

One code will only cost $0.01 per code anywhere in the world. At the same time, if the phone number to be verified is not connected to a Telegram account, the fee will not be charged at all.

Durov explained that the verification of phone numbers is a multibillion-dollar industry. Telegram alone spends about $10 million per month to authenticate all users who register and enter the service.

We made these investments so that others do not have to do it . Since we have already verified the phone numbers of almost a billion people, other companies can avoid high verification costs, he notes.

The businessman concluded that due to the unprecedentedly low prices, Telegram Gateway will not become a significant source of income for companies. But the social network team hopes that this initiative will make the world more efficient by reducing costs and prices for many services around the world.
