According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on October 16, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, announced the launch of the phone number verification service Telegram Gateway on his personal channel. Businesses can send verification codes directly to users through Telegram, saving millions of dollars, with each verification code costing only $0.01. Pavel Durov stated, "Phone number verification is a multi-billion dollar industry. Telegram alone spends about 10 million dollars each month to verify all users registering and logging into our services. Our prices are unprecedentedly low, so I'm not sure if Telegram Gateway will become a significant source of revenue for us. But we hope this initiative will improve efficiency worldwide and reduce the costs and prices of many global services."
