pro tip: Telegram requires a phone number for registration, but then you don't need a phone to use it. You can link an account to a burner phone and then you can set up a password. With that password, even if the phone number get reassigned, they can't have access to your account.
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agoif security is a concern don't use Telegram :)
- kome 8y agoTelegram is way safer than using a cellphone :) But yeah, Telegram shouldn't be used for really sensitive stuff.

I wonder what happens if you acquire that phone number and decide to make it your main one. Hopefully support staff have a way of checking if the old user's active, and asking them to change their account to a number they actually have access to.
