HOW do you send a message without registering?

I just tried registering a telegram account.  I first tried some of the
free phone numbers at freephonenum.com.  Immediately, I got "too many
tries.."  I tried a few other numbers and a couple came up "banned".

I succeeded getting through to the next level with one of the numbers.
The SMS code showed up at freephonenum.com.  I entered the code and then I
was transported to an "enter your cloud password" panel.  What is that?

I could not get passed that.

I reconnected to get a new IP address, and this time I used my real cell
number.  Again, I got "too many tries.."
