Telegram

General
I have no idea how the frig this works: I signed up covertly on Telegram last week just because of a friend. I tell no one I joined. I played with it for a bit, got mad at it, and closed it. Today I opened it to find half-a-dozen furs have since found me and sent messages. WTF?!? How did you all find me? I've told no one!! Do you have radar??
Don't get me wrong--I'm not mad. If anything I'm flattered people are finding me--it's just unsettling how so many found me with no notice.
Well, that's it then. I'm on Telegram. Yay. Same ID as on Twitter.
Please understand that I have Telegram installed on my PC only and it is NOT ON ALL THE TIME. I only open it up when I am free to chat in the evenings, just like AIM. With Telegram though I can't tell if you can tell if someone is online or not (one of the reasons I got mad at it). Anyhow... it's a great way to get everyone's cell phone #'s !!

If you like. Just know I don't have it running all the time so responses might be slow.

Telegram alerts other people that have YOUR number in THEIR contacts that you joined, as telegram has access to contacts...sooo

One of the reasons why I don't want to use the program. Is there a way to stop it from doing that when signing up?

~zachhart12
I doubt it since the option is in the program itself and installed on other peoples phones

Make sense? :P
Telegram will tell you if some one is online as well as the last time they were seen on the top of the chat ^^, don't thing there is a way to hide that like with skype. Iv been able to avoid using a cell phone number by using a google hangouts number XD
