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.
