Also Available on Telegram Messenger
The team at Lite.IM had first launched the Litecoin service on the popular messaging application of Telegram. All a user has to do, is open their website at https://www.lite.im/ and follow the prompts to key in a phone number. Once this is done, you will get an SMS asking you to follow the link that opens a conversation with the Lite.IM bot on the platform.

During the launch of the Telegram service back in August, Charlie Lee had urged the crypto community to focus more on crypto adoption during the current bear market. His words were in reference to the newly launched Lite.IM Telegram service.

Zulu Republic Team, the creators of Lite.IM, had this to say about the Telegram launch.

Since day one of the Zulu Republic, we’ve been driven by a vision of what the world might look like if the founding ideals of the cryptocurrency revolution were actually realized…

Today we take that vision one step closer to reality by announcing lite.im, a new project from Zulu Republic aimed at expanding cryptocurrency access to a wider population than ever before.

Lite.im brings Litecoin services to anyone with even the most basic mobile phone, regardless of whether or not they have access to the internet.

With a simple Telegram or SMS message, lite.im users will be able to interact with the Litecoin blockchain, sending and receiving funds from anywhere in the world where a cellular signal can be found.
