    FIDONET.TELEGRAM
    A place to discuss accessing Fidonet using Telegram, Q & A as it

    Why does it want my telephone number? The QR code doesn't seem to work.

    I installed it on my PC laptop. (for now anyway)

    Setting up an account with the Telegram app requires a phone
    number so that they can send an SMS with a 4-digit code to
    complete the registration. Technically, it does NOT need to be
    the phone number on your device (since Telegram can be
    installed on a desktop too) ..it just needs to be a number that
    accepts SMS on a device that you have access to.


    The QR code doesn't seem to work.

    I don't think I've ever seen a QR option, so, dunno about that.

    I primarily use it on my a desktop too.

    See ya in the FIDONET.TELEGRAM echo for further dicussion. :D
