Telegram is not free in Kenya, you have to pay to register

I have tried to login back to telegram after months of being offline but wanataka KES200 to send me OTA SMS for verification. Nani ameona hii ama its only me experiencing this?

TG doesn’t send OTP to kenyan numbers because of high charges.. you have to sub for premium which is about ksh 200

Ndio maana kwa playstore imeandikwa 1# top grossing communication app. Hii nayo ni ulafi

blame kasongo and co for inflating sms charges. It’s relatively cheaper in other countries.

I had attached pia email, waanze kutuma otp kwa email basi.

After kuattach email wanarudi kwa payment ambayo ni 200ksh

One time payment ama monthly?

I didn’t even see payment options.

Imekwama hapo kwa kuweka number itume otp bana.

It’s 200 bob for fucks sake. Lipa …

One week subscription. Ukihitaji tena sms verification you will have to subscribe again

I will pay, not a big deal but hawa watu wamekuwa greedy.

And to make matters worse, you can only login using a specific number. Yangu ilikuwa suspended but ikakataa kulogin through any other number

I had to pay for the premium for them to allow me to login. Funny thing is that instead of sending sms they called my number with +1 call which is free in the first place.

My opinion ni kama telegram is limiting Kenyan users because most are scammers.
