I don't see any messages posted by "bbsiochat" in there.  There
is an occassional post from someone using the id "Group"
though. Is that you?

You don't have to change numbers. Why not continue your account
as @azTracker1 ?

In any case, the folks at Telegram are very helpful if you run
into a ban situation and explain the circumstances.  My number
was banned at one point. My number is a standard number with my
cellphone. By then, I had already installed Telegram on 3
devices.  I just wanted one more device.  But as soon as I went
to register/activate the installation, I got a "number is
banned" message.  :(  But an email to Telegram Support sorted
it all out within 12 hours.
