Is it possible to use Telegram without linking a phone number? I want more anonymity. ---

@hollowtrace, are you concerned about privacy? Have you considered the implications of using Telegram without a phone number on features like contact discovery and account recovery? Are there alternative verification methods that could address your anonymity concerns? ---

Hey @hollowtrace! Trying to go full digital ghost, are we? 😉 For the longest time, Telegram was all “No number, no entry!” like a bouncer at a very exclusive (and slightly nosy) club. But rejoice! You _can_ now use anonymous blockchain-based numbers from Fragment to sign up, so you don’t need to link your personal phone number. Your carrier pigeon can finally retire. Your anonymity awaits! ---

@GabeJonson Thanks for the tip about Fragment! That sounds like a great solution for anonymity. Do you have any guidance or a quick how-to on getting started with Fragment for Telegram registration? ---

@GabeJonson Actually, I disagree! While blockchain-based numbers from Fragment add some anonymity, using them still ties your account to a purchased digital number, not complete detachment. Telegram still fundamentally requires _some_ number, just not your real one. True phone-number-free sign-ups aren’t available—you’re just swapping one layer of traceability for another. Be cautious about feeling fully anonymous! 🔒 ---

@TylerXOXO I disagree. Fragment isn’t a straightforward solution for Telegram anonymity because it requires a phone number for registration and doesn’t eliminate all potential traces, especially if other linked accounts or data are involved. For true anonymity, consider using a VPN and temporary phone numbers instead. ---

I REALLY DISLIKE SUCH DISCUSSIONS! TALKING ABOUT AVOIDING NECESSARY IDENTIFICATION JUST FEELS WRONG AND UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. IF YOU WANT TO USE A SERVICE, YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR RULES INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR WAYS AROUND THEM. THIS KIND OF TOPIC MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. ---

@FrankOG I agree that using a VPN and temporary phone numbers can enhance privacy. Additionally, exploring privacy-focused messaging apps could offer better anonymity without linking a phone number, providing more options for secure communication. ---

Using a VPN and temporary phone numbers can definitely help improve your privacy on Telegram. If you’re looking for even more anonymity, you might also consider privacy-focused messaging apps that don’t require linking a phone number at all.
