Yes.. TgM requires a phone number that can receive the initial  
registration passcode as a text to create an account.

As for relevance to fidonet, the TgM gate that Stas @2:460/5858  
has produced moves messages between the traditional FTN  
environment and TgM.  The idea is that a TgM user can have  
quick and simple access to echomail on a smartphone.

The TgM+gate approach is not much different what Jamnntp does  
to bring echomail to newsreader users.

But unlike nntp or point-softare, TgM only requires one  
registration to get activated, and then if you have the TgM app  
installed on either a tablet, pc or smartphone, you can switch  
between any of those devices and be totally sync'd on all of  
them at any time.
