They are rewarding you with premium (i.e. some extra features in the app) for relaying sms and exposing your phonenumber to strangers ig?

For now... Giving this capability to a app seems foolish.

If you value premium enough, I'm sure lots of people will agree to it.

I think if its opt-in, then kinda fine..., else it's a nightmare.

Opt-in for the SMS recipient too?

I'm still trying to figure it out, but I guess not. The only thing I'm sure about is that you will know whether the OTP code has been sent by Telegram or a P2PL relay
