    For whatever reason, ppl need SMS OTP. While they are using SMS operators (like Twilio), it can’t covers all users globally (which the truth is more about cost and regulations), thus this program is born to cover (bypass) it.

    It uses your number to sent the OTP code to random numbers on Telegram behalf, up to 150 per month including international SMS, where you bear the cost and aknowledging your number will be seen by who recieve it. In return, if your monthly send SMS reaches the quota, Telegram will reward you with a monthly Telegram Premium Subscription (which cost almost nothing to them).

    What a joke program.
