Getting a number

How do I get a number?

Open the bot, tap Open App, connect your wallet, roll, and mint the number you like.

What is a roll?

One try at a random number. A roll is 2 GRAM, and packs add bonus rolls. A number you roll is held for you for 15 minutes.

How much does it cost?

A roll is 2 GRAM. Minting starts at 150 GRAM and rises 10 GRAM every 300 mints. The more you roll, the bigger your discount, up to 25%.

Can I get free rolls?

Yes. You get one for subscribing to @degenphone from the app, and one for joining through a friend's invite.

Roll, or buy on the market?

Roll for a Fresh number and a shot at a rare one. Buy on the market to pick an exact number.

Can I choose my number?

Rolls are random. To get an exact number, buy it on the market.

What do the rarities mean?

Each roll lands on a tier. Rarer tiers have nicer digit patterns. Every number works the same.

The app doesn't see my TON

In Telegram Wallet, keep TON in TON Space, not the main balance. Or use Tonkeeper.

I paid. Where's my number?

It usually lands in your wallet's Collectibles in a few minutes. Don't pay twice, and pay from your own wallet, not an exchange. Nothing after 30 minutes? Write in the chat with your wallet address.

Using it

Where do my codes arrive?

In your chat with @DegenPhoneTonBot, once the number is activated. The last 15 texts are also in My Numbers.

What does Unlock (Activate) do?

It opens your number's texts. It's free and you do it once, in My Numbers. When the bot says “Activate”, it means this Unlock button.

Does activating lower the price?

Usually, yes. Activated numbers show as Recycled for good. Activate when you need a code, not before.

Which apps accept it?

People use it for Telegram, exchanges and PayPal. WhatsApp and Google can be strict: use the phone app on Wi-Fi, or an Estonian VPN.

Telegram wants me to buy Premium

Telegram sometimes asks new +372 sign-ups for a week of Premium, about $1. That's Telegram's rule, not ours.

Can I move my current Telegram account to it?

Often not. Changing the number on an existing account usually fails. A new account works best.

Can I call or use internet?

Not yet. It receives SMS only, and it can't be installed in a phone.

Owning & selling

Do I pay every month?

No. Service is prepaid for 2 years, and the NFT stays yours.

How do I sell it?

In the app, open Market and list your number. You'll see the fee before you confirm.

How do I give it to someone?

Send the NFT to their TON wallet from your wallet app. Codes go to them once they open the app in Telegram.

I bought one and Telegram is already on it

That's the previous owner's account, and only they can delete it. To avoid this, buy Fresh numbers on the DegenPhone market.

Safety

Is it a real number?

Yes. A real Estonian +372 number on a mobile network. You hold it as an NFT, so you can sell or send it anytime.

How do I stay safe from scams?

Fake admins and copycat bots are around. Stick to these three rules:

What if I lose my wallet?

The number belongs to whoever holds the NFT. Lose the wallet and you lose the number, so keep your seed phrase safe.

Solana

I'm on Solana

Same idea, on its own site. Open it in Phantom's built-in browser; your texts are in My Numbers there. There's no bridge to TON yet.

Still stuck?

Ask in the chat @DegenPhoneTonBot

The team never DMs first. Never send anyone your seed phrase.
