I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to use Telegram without linking it directly to my phone number. I want to keep things as anonymous as possible but still enjoy all the features like messaging, channels, and groups. Is there any reliable method to achieve this, and what are the downsides?

It is actually possible to stay more anonymous on Telegram by using alternatives to your primary phone number. You can check out this guide: telegram. The article explains different ways to sign up without putting your real number at risk, including using virtual numbers or third-party services that provide temporary ones. This way, you still get access to Telegram’s core functions without exposing personal details. The downside is that free numbers sometimes get recycled quickly, and some services may not work in all regions. If privacy is a concern, pairing Telegram with good digital hygiene practices like using two-step verification and avoiding suspicious links will give you stronger protection. Many users prefer this setup when they don’t want to mix their private life with online communities or professional networking groups.
