   I was taken aback for a phone-number request the first time I installed   
   Telegram on my XP laptop.  I really did not want to "expose" my phone number   
   for this, and I wasn't interested in using it on my phone at that time.  But   
   the process turned out to be painless and rather convenient after all.   
      
   Ciao!
