Check Telegram username in seconds

Simply enter the desired Telegram username into our checker tool and click "Check". The tool will instantly tell you if the username is available, taken, or collectible.

It checks in near real-time whether a Telegram username can be set right now. Results can be: Available (you can set it for free), Taken (already in use), or Reserved/Collectible (available only via Fragment as a collectible username).

• 5–32 characters for regular usernames.
• Letters (a–z), numbers (0–9) and underscore _ only.
• Case-insensitive (displayed case can vary).
• Each account, group, or channel can have one public username.
• Very short names (e.g., 3–4 chars) are usually collectible (sold on Fragment).

Personal account: Telegram → Settings → Edit profile → Username (mobile) or Settings → Username (desktop). Groups/Channels: Open the chat → Edit → Username. Type the name, ensure it shows as available, then Save.

Collectible usernames are premium/short names traded on Fragment, Telegram's official marketplace on TON. You can bid on auctions or buy instantly (when available) and then assign the name to your account, group, or channel in Telegram.

2. Go to fragment.com and sign in with Telegram.
3. Search the username. If it's listed: Buy or Bid.
4. Complete the purchase.
5. In Telegram: Settings → Username → Add collectible username (or in chat → Edit → Username) and assign it.
