    Well if you tell them you are using Signal and they adopt it, you sure can.

    What is your imaginary boundary here where Telegram makes this easier somehow?

      The problem is not that I’m not using signal (I am), its that I also have to use telegram and\or whatsapp if I want to contact anyone without sending them an sms, or a pigeon.

      So all this bloat still affects me, whether I “just use signal” or not.

        I’m not sure what part of the world you’re in, so maybe there is a societal difference here, but last I checked, if you’re running a business, it’s not only run on chat apps. There are other venues to contact businesses to schedule things…

          Central Asia, businesses here do not have websites. They put a listing on aggregators with a phone number and may be an instagram account.

              And make a call like a psycho? No thanks, Telegram it is (actually OP here is quite lucky, in my town it would be WhatsApp or Messenger only…).

              Sure, if I want to pay per message/call. I could also hire a butler to do all my chores for me, alas I am not a Swedish royalty.
