Telegram still requires a phone number. Bad news for teenagers who don't have a phone yet.
I was aiming at the fact that you don't need to share the number
I find annoying that you need a phone number for Telegram. I had to open a completely new phone number to make a work Telegram account.

VOIP numbers work ;)

Getting one that doesn't go away if you don't send a message every 2 seconds is as hard as fuck.
Can you suggest VOIP numbers that allow you to use them like normal phones. I wanted one for using in services that might need calling me.
I have a Google Voice number. Completely free. I used to give out to clients instead of my actual cell number. So that when I left, I could just recycle the number. Never recycled it, but I still use it as a backup/for trash purposes.
Though some systems out there that need a phone number do block Google Voice numbers during registration.
