Setting up an account with the Telegram app requires a phone  
number so that they can send an SMS with a 4-digit code to  
complete the registration.  Technically, it does NOT need to be  
the phone number on your device (since Telegram can be  
installed on a desktop too) ..it just needs to be a number that  
accepts SMS on a device that you have access to.


 M> The QR code doesn't seem to work.

I don't think I've ever seen a QR option, so, dunno about that.


 M> I installed it on my PC laptop. (for now anyway)

I primarily use it on my a desktop too.
