Verifying your phone number

One tap in Telegram and your number is confirmed. No SMS, no codes, no charges: verifying your phone on Sales.Travel takes under a minute and makes your account more secure.

In short

Your personal account shows a banner inviting you to verify your phone. Open @sales_travel_bot, tap “Share contact”, and your number is marked as confirmed. It’s free and no SMS is sent. Verification isn’t required to buy, but we recommend it for security and quick alerts about your booking and flight.

01 / WhyWhy verify your phone

A verified number isn’t a formality — it’s a working line of contact for the moments when we need to reach you quickly: your booking status changes, a flight is rescheduled or delayed, or there’s a questionable action on your account.

Account security. An extra sign that it’s really you signing in and making changes.
Faster alerts. Booking status and flight changes reach you sooner.
Account recovery. A confirmed contact helps you get your account back if signing in ever becomes tricky.

Verification is optionalYou can book tours, flights and hotels without a verified phone. We recommend it as a sensible precaution, but it’s never required to place an order.

02 / HowHow to verify via the bot

Find the banner in your account

Open @sales_travel_bot

Tap the button in the banner — the Telegram bot @sales_travel_bot opens. If it isn’t running yet, press “Start”.

Share your contact

The bot shows a “Share contact” button — this is Telegram’s built-in feature. Tap it, and Telegram passes your number to the bot.

Done

Your number is marked as verified. Return to the site — the banner disappears and your phone shows as confirmed in your account.

No SMS, no chargeWe don’t send an SMS code and we don’t charge a thing. Verification uses Telegram’s built-in request contact mechanism — free of charge.

05 / FAQFrequently asked

Is it really free?

Yes. It uses Telegram’s “Share contact” button — no SMS is sent and nothing is charged.

Do I have to verify to make a purchase?

No. You can place orders without it. We recommend verification for security and faster alerts, but it isn’t required.

Will the bot access my chats or contacts?

No. The bot receives only your own number from your Telegram profile, and only after you tap the button.

Is bot verification the same as Telegram login?

No, they’re different things. Telegram login signs you in to the site, while phone verification only marks your number as trusted. See the “Telegram login” article for more.
