Well it has now been over a month, and I have still not had a single response from Telegram, and my phone number is still banned. I have emailed all of the various telegram emails, help and support links countless times to no avail.
I have read from random sources online that it could take several months to hear anything back, if at all. And honestly.... dont know if its even worth it to keep trying anymore. i feel like i'm just wasting my time.

i think at the point, I have been able to reconnect with any artists, friends and other contacts from telegram on other platforms. I was even able to rescue my telegram stickers and have them on my phone and laptop....So I guess I haven't lost too much.

it was fun while it lasted. but i doubt im getting it back at this point.

it was a fairly short journey, but thanks to those of you who went on it with me anyways. Hopefully my info helps at least one person out there.
