On slint we have telegram-cli and although receiving functions work I'm not certain sending functions work yet. It is a new slint package having first lived in slackbuilds repository so may not have been built properly this last time. Other distributions may have better compiled versions of telegram-cli available. It's worth checking. You will need a cell phone and to provide your cell phone number to telegram-cli to set up an account since for future logins you'll use your username and the provided login code. The login code is sent to your cell phone and you enter it on the computer to finish setting up your account.
