Telegram for Nokia Symbian – Download Messenger App on Nokia Mobiles

by 23 Comments

The old times are long gone when Nokia phones used to rule the mobile phone market. Nokia was the largest and most successful mobile company, with everyone using their Symbian mobile phones (specially the S40, S60 and more recent N8/N9 range). The time has changed and the mobile market is captured by Android, iPhone and Windows devices. However there are still a few people who still use Nokia Symbian phones. These people though use an outdated device, however they don’t want to loose out on latest applications. Well they have full right to remain connected with their loved ones. They also want to use all the instant messaging applications.

When it comes to instant messaging apps, Whatsapp does work on Nokia Symbian phones. However with everyone now switching to Telegram messenger (as it is considered better than Whatsapp), the people using Nokia also have to start using this app if they want to remain connected with their loved ones. The reason people want to try out Telegram app is pretty simple, it offers much more features than any other instant messaging app.

So does Telegram really have app for Nokia Symbian Mobiles ?

Nope, telegram does not have any official application for Nokia Symbian devices. However that said, since the app is open source developers can go ahead and build clients for different platforms which includes Nokia Symbian. I searched the internet looking for apps working on Nokia phones.

Infact I found one app made for Nokia phones (it was a Java based Telegram application) and people have confirmed that it does work out for them.

  4. Click next and they will send a code to your phone.

Request for official app

I request Nokia Symbian developers (if there are any) to go ahead, use Telegram API support and make an app for these mobiles. If you are requesting the same, then post your comments.

    A jar doesn’t simply “get infected”. More likely people found out about the infection and you decided to take it offline until it is “fixed”? Whatch out for viruses folks
