Tell me, can you have a Signal account WITHOUT giving them your phone number?
- Razengan 2y agoCan you sign up for Telegram without a phone number?
- kojoru 2y agoYes: https://telegram.org/blog/ultimate-privacy-topics-2-0 https://telegram.org/blog/ultimate-privacy-topics-2-0
- luuurker 2y agoWithout "SIM card" and "without a number" are different things. Apparently you still need a number, a "blockchain-powered" number: "[...] You can have a Telegram account without a SIM card and log in using blockchain-powered anonymous numbers available on the Fragment platform."
- OSI-Auflauf 2y agoIrs super complicated to use. And you need an existing Telegram account to actually handle that cryptocurrency to buy these pseudo-numbers outside of the telephone namespace. Guess what you need to register those. An actual working phone number.
- NicuCalcea 2y agoThat's just buying a fake phone number, I don't see what would prevent you from using it with Signal the same way.
- nottorp 2y agoNot everyone is commenting on signal vs telegram here, it may just be an opinion that the phone number requirement is dubious from both entitites.
