When using the Telegram app, specific mobile numbers have been found to have been subsequently disallowed and banned from using its service.

This banned situation could happen to any existing Telegram user or someone who wants to register for a new account.

The banned message says;

“This phone number is banned.”

Typically, this happens when the mobile number is found, suspected, or reported to have violated Telegram’s terms of service.

Depending on the type of violation, it is likely that someone had reported your number to abuse@telegram.org or dmca@telegram.org or directly on the app itself.

Reasons for Telegram banning mobile numbers

Several account behaviors and third-party reporting actions will result in your account being banned. Here are the most common ones below;

• Previous Owner Ban: If you are using a new number, chances are that the last owner of this number had gotten themselves banned from Telegram.
• Suspicious account logins: E.g., keying wrong passwords multiple times and Telegram will safeguard your account from being hacked by banning and locking your account.
• Reported for Harassment: Your account/mobile number has been reported for stalking/harassment-related activities
• Reported as having sexual content & nudity: Promoting or sharing illegal and inappropriate materials.

• Engaging in illegal activities: This can be, for example, the selling and buying of drugs and involvement in Ponzi schemes.
• Discriminatory views: Spreading falsehood information and hate speech.

This article will focus on what you can do to resolve the problem when Telegram bans your mobile number, making you unable to recover your account or register for a new one.

Notwithstanding what the reason for the ban is, you can try one or more of the various ways to unban your Telegram account or number. This post lets you find out all the different ways to overcome a Telegram ban.

Figuring out If You Have a Telegram Ban –Here Is What to Do

If you’re stuck with a sort of (unusual) restriction while using Telegram, you might want to know if your account/number has been actually banned. Follow the steps below to figure out if you have a Telegram ban:

• Open the Telegram app on your phone
• Within the app interface, click the search widget
• Then search for “Spamify bot channel”
• Once the Spamify bot option shows up, click the Startbutton
• Following that, the robot will notify you as regards whether you have a Telegram ban or not

What Could Be the Reason for the Telegram Ban?

After finding out that your Telegram account/number has been banned, you may be curious to know the reason for the ban. Well, the ban is likely to have arisen from your violation of one or some of Telegram (usage) rules. This is probably the situation if you’re guilty of any of the following:

• Sending numerous messages to other Telegram users by use of bots
  • Sharing content considered “spammy” or inappropriate
  • Sharing stickers that Telegram considers inappropriate

• • Sending too many ad messages
  • Constantly sending messages to anonymous users –This may mean sending more than 100 private messages to such people in a single day

Unbanning Your Telegram Account

Among the various ways in which you can unban your Telegram account, the basic way is to request that Telegram remove the ban on the account. Follow the steps below to do that:

• Sign in to your e-mail account
• Compose an email message (You may title it “Request to Unban My Telegram Account”)
• In addition to the request for Telegram to unban your account, ensure you clearly state the kind of restriction you’re experiencing as a result of the ban
• After composing the email message, send it to the address abuse@telegram.org

If you don’t seem to have violated any of its rules, Telegram will likely review your request and unban your account in time.

Unbanning Your Telegram Number

The phone number you’re using for Telegram may have been banned for any of several reasons. Some of these reasons are using an invalid Telegram version and deleting your Telegram account on several occasions.

If your Telegram ban is temporary, you might be lucky to get out of the ban after 5 or 6 days. But if you’re still restricted after having waited quite long for Telegram to unban you, here is another way you can get Telegram to unban you:

• Sign in to your Twitter account
• Contact Telegram’s support team on Twitter via the handle @smstelegram
• You can send a DM to the support team, demanding that your Telegram number should be unbanned. If you believe you haven’t violated any Telegram rule, you may also want to state why you think your number was mistakenly banned

If your Telegram ban isn’t a login issue (i.e. you’re not prevented from logging in to Telegram), another way of finding a solution for the restriction is to contact your local support team. To do that, open the Telegram app to log in to your account. Go to Telegram Settings. In Telegram Settings, you’ll find a Help tab below the Settings tab. Click Ask a Question under the Settings tab. A box will pop up with a note about Telegram Support. Select the Ask a Volunteer option within the box. By doing this, you’d be able to ask a question (about how you can overcome whatever Telegram restriction you’re facing). From your local support team, you may get somebody who would volunteer to provide you with a solution.

So, once the “volunteer” page shows up, click the start icon and report whatever problem (Telegram restriction) you’re facing.

HELPFUL TIPS/GUIDE TO FOLLOW  WHEN YOUR TELEGRAM NUMBER HAS BEEN BANNED

1. Understand the Reason for the Ban

Before attempting to unban a Telegram number, it’s important to understand why the ban occurred. Telegram bans can happen for various reasons, such as sending spam, engaging in harassment, violating the terms of service, or participating in illegal activities. Knowing the reason for the ban will help you address the issue appropriately.

2. Contact Telegram Support

The first step you should take is to contact Telegram support to inquire about the ban and request a review. Open the Telegram app and go to the “Settings” menu. From there, select “Ask a Question” or “Contact Us” to send a support request. Explain your situation, provide your banned phone number, and request a review of the ban.

3. Provide Necessary Information

When contacting Telegram support, be sure to provide all the necessary information, including your banned phone number, your username (if applicable), and any additional details that might help them identify your account. The more information you provide, the better your chances of getting a response.

4. Wait for a Response

After submitting your support request, you’ll need to wait for a response from Telegram support. This process may take some time, as support teams need to review the case and investigate the ban. Be patient and avoid submitting multiple requests, as this could potentially delay the process.

5. Review and Follow Guidelines

In the meantime, review Telegram’s terms of service and community guidelines to ensure that you understand and adhere to their rules. If the ban was a result of a mistake or misunderstanding, it’s important to avoid similar behavior in the future to prevent future bans.

6. Consider Alternative Numbers

If your initial efforts to unban the number are unsuccessful, you might consider creating a new Telegram account using a different phone number. Be cautious, however, as attempting to evade a ban by using a different number could lead to further issues.

7. Avoid Violations in the Future

Once you regain access to your Telegram account, make sure to follow the platform’s rules and guidelines to prevent future bans. This includes refraining from spamming, harassment, and any other activities that violate the terms of service.

Unbanning a Telegram number that has been banned requires patience, communication with support, and a commitment to following the platform’s rules. While there’s no guarantee that a ban will be reversed, reaching out to Telegram support is the best course of action to take. Remember that maintaining a respectful and responsible online presence is essential to enjoying the benefits of platforms like Telegram without running into issues.

Conclusion

Rather than feel you can always unban your Telegram number after a ban, it is best that you avoid actions that can trigger a ban while using Telegram.
