From Telegram twitter:

Verification codes may be delayed due to overload on the SMS Gateways' side, they're working on it. Please wait, the codes will come!

This massive overload is because whatsapp got banned (again) on Brazil for 72h.

Telegram and Whatsapp are trending topic on Brazil.

Remember that Brazil is blocking access to WhatsApp for 72 hours (the ban started 1h ago).

Here he told about Russia, Belarus and Ukraine only (and prizes are in roubles)
However, later there was no info about country restrictions.

Telegram is benefiting a lot from WhatsApp’s ban in Brazil. Over 7M users signed up for Telegram within the last 24h. Wow.

✅ Brazilian court restores WhatsApp service after blackout order

A Brazilian judge has overturned the country's blackout of the WhatsApp texting service, restoring service to over 100 million people in the country.
The reversal comes just one day into the mandated blackout period, which was initially scheduled to last for 72 hours. The blackout order specifically targeted Brazilian wireless carriers, which were forbidden from transmitting WhatsApp data for the duration of the blackout period.

Any carrier found violating the order would have been fined (~ $140,000).
