Telegram via Jabber on Symbian Phones

Prerequisites: You must have registered telegram account running on iPhone or Android. You will need to use it every time you add new contact because Jabber clients on Symbian are not integrated with Address Book.

Please note: only individual contacts supported, groups are not supported.

1. Install Pidgin xmpp client on Windows PC.  We will use Service Discovery functionality of this client.
             If you do not have PC and only device you have is Symbian or S40 phone, you can use  Talkonaut, Bombus Mod, Bombus QD or Bombus with zlib.
             These  Jabber/XMPP clients have Service Discovery functionality too.

2. Register xmpp account on jabb.im .

3. In this manual, account is tgtest@jabb.im
