Good morning @ladyih05!
I usually utilize the QR code. You can activate Telegram’s code scanner under Options > Devices > QR Code.
Also, the code will not arrive via SMS. It will be sent to your Telegram directly as a private message. 
I love you man. 
Thank you

It’s always my pleasure! Helping people makes my day, truly.
So I think I have some of the same issue as some of you above. I had been on Telegram but not that long and only lurk for the most part. One day I went back in and I have the error:
Sorry, you can’t access this chat because you were banned by an admin
I found help on using Telegram’s Spam Info Bot but it doesn’t say I’m limited or banned so not sure how to get my account turned back so I can view comments. It has some good info so would like to be able to see these comments.
Who do I contact or how do I take care of this? I have waited about a week or so and I still cannot view comments.
Thanks.
Hello @Trueblade and welcome to the forums!
A week is quite the time, which means I cannot check the logs for you to see what exactly happened (they’re only there for 24 hours).
Did you happen to fall in on one of the potholes described in the post below?
How do I get off the ComBot naughty list if I’ve never posted before?
No, I did not do any of those violations you mentioned (to my best knowledge).
I had only joined groups and looked at posts, never responded/liked/etc.
Then my guess is you joined during a bot surge and you got caught in the cross-fire.
Please DM me your Telegram Username to see how we can resolve this.
Both of the JP channels are gone from my list of channels on Telegram. Did JP take them down? Did I somehow get removed?
I don’t see any log of anything being done to remove you. You can rejoin with this link: Telegram: Contact @jptchat
