Since some months, it's more a users' bad sec practice: Telegram offers on sale virtual numbers[1] with a crypto dumbery, you can buy a virtual number for 40-something $ and then log in with their wallet. Should be safer than having the SMS code rerouted but I can't say how much safer that way would be.
