What do you think of this from privacy POV?

      They are rewarding you with premium (i.e. some extra features in the app) for relaying sms and exposing your phonenumber to strangers ig?

        For now… Giving this capability to a app seems foolish.

        If you value premium enough, I’m sure lots of people will agree to it.

          I think if its opt-in, then kinda fine…, else it’s a nightmare.

          You can decide to send sms codes only within your country. You decide whether the tradeoff between costs, privacy and features is worth it. Sending 150 sms a month (or a magnitude more) would cost me 0 €. I find some of the premium features worth paying for. But I would never relay OTP codes for telegram

          I send thousands of SMS per month with a cost of zero. Even international.

          It’s all included in my $40/mo plan.
