      I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but just to ask:

        My understanding is that it does not as you need to have the user as a contact (either via mobile number or username).

I know that Pidgin in Ubuntu is a multi-client chat app but Telegram is now currently,

          I'm talking normal SMS messages. Do they have to have telegram to send texts to or not?
