    Telegram bots cannot be linked to a telephone number.

    Telegram bots can only be referenced by their @username that is chosen to you at the time of creation by chatting with @BotFather. Users can then find the both by searching for its username and start a conversation with it.

    If you want to know more about bots creation you can take a look at Telegram FAQ. Also, Bots: An introduction for developers is a good place to start.

    Users can find and interact with your bot by searching for it using its username or by clicking on a link to your bot. The bot is not associated with a phone number, it is associated with a Telegram account. This means that you will need to have a Telegram account in order to create and manage a bot.

    Telegram Bots are special accounts that do not require an additional phone number to set up.
