Chat apps without phone number?

Hi do you know any chat app with no phone number or email sign in?

Yes, there are many such applications. This means that the other side has to have it installed as well. The best ones are Mango Lite and IRCCloud. For Android, you can use AndChat and AndroIRC. IRC is a very popular protocol, and people have been using it for more than a decade. To connect to a "room", you have to know a server name and a channel, which are something like irc.undernet.org #meeting. Quite often, you can see some sites using this protocol when they show the hash sign and a tag after that.

Groups, channels, bots will I loose it, please help?

Will you still have all your groups, channels and bots that was on the old number?. or will I loose all my groups and channels, bots? It will net them know if they must make new groups or not
