What is an anonymous +888 number?
A phone number starting with +888 that exists only on Telegram. You can sign up and log in with it without a SIM card or a mobile carrier.
Telegram launched the numbers on Fragment in December 2022. Each one is an NFT on the TON blockchain: whoever holds it in a TON wallet can link it to a Telegram account, receive the login code on Fragment, sell it or auction it. You cannot call or text a +888 number from an ordinary phone. People use them to keep a personal number private, to run separate accounts, or hold them as collectibles.

How much does a +888 number cost?
As of 14 November 2026, the cheapest standard number for sale costs 3,150 TON and the 30 day median sale was 2,823 TON. Auctions start lower: the lowest live bid was 387 TON across 230 auctions.
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Cheapest number for sale | 3,150 TON (+888 0365 7924) |
| Numbers listed for sale | 271 |
| Live auctions | 230, lowest bid 387 TON |
| Sales, last 24 hours | 52, median 3,043 TON |
| Sales, last 30 days | 2,001, median 2,823 TON |

The floor and the median are close because standard numbers without a pattern are near interchangeable. Live figures are on the +888 numbers page, and each number has its own page with every sale and the change from the sale before.
A fixed price listing and an auction are different deals. A listing sells at once at its price. An auction runs for a set time and goes to the highest bid, so a low opening bid does not mean the number will sell for that. Most numbers that change hands in a month sell through listings near the floor.

What is a restricted +888 number?
A number Telegram has limited, usually because an account on it was reported or banned for spam. The limit can stay with the number after a sale, so a new owner may find the account restricted.
Sales Tracker does not mark restricted numbers yet. Before you buy, look at the number's sale history on its page, ask the seller whether it was ever used, and prefer numbers bought straight from Fragment's own auctions. A number with many quick resales is worth a closer look.
