Yeah I finally got it. Again, its not my preferred chat client and I had to buy one of those pre-paid type phones to activate it (sorry I'm not giving a private fly by night company my primary phone #. I don't trust it).

Whatever. I've found that fighting the "hip new thing" means that in the end you miss out of a lot of things and it becomes increasingly difficult to stay in touch with people.

My Telegram is @yarrickwuff Feel free to add me. I won't be chatting on it from my phone unless I get really bored (and even then its tied to my secondary line). Mostly will be when I'm at home or out and about somewhere on wi-fi and have a tablet with me.
