If you're logged into at least one device with telegram, the sign in code for the a device first comes to the logged in device, instead of coming via SMS. The 6 digit code comes from a verified 'Telegram' account over the internet, thus avoiding the security or connectivity issues of SMS.

You cannot terminate older sessions from a newer device immediately. There is a waiting period to delete the other sessions or delete the account.
