Telegram non-encrypted conversations are nowadays comparable to Skype. Now, reread the above, substituting "Telegram" with "Skype" and you'll see the problem. If somebody calls you, all phones with your telegram account will keep ringing after you take the call. This is why you should move to signal, it is safer and less annoying for now.
