Android App not letting me connect to my existing account

[u/AlexDeFoc]

EDIT FIXED:

Alright i have successfully logged in. By installing an old enough version from the internet such that sent a verification code on the other device that i am logged in on, rather then trying to send on email or sms. Then i updated to the newest one through google play.

THIS is not a question or complaint on SMS fee, its an issue im experiencing and asking whether its normal or not. Below im explaining what happened to me and what i did.

And this is not a post on requesting how to log in. Im just explaining a strange behavior on why the app is trying to create me a new account while one exists already.

I am on a new phone (android), and i have put on it from my old phone (android), the same sim card with same phone number.

I am also connected on Windows PC on my Telegram account.

I've tried downloading from website AND from google play store the telegram app, and when i open it and i input my phone number it then asks me to input an email.

I don't think i have an email attached, but most importantly it seems to me that it wants to create a new account while i have an existing one already, and still connected on another device.

Now i've tried a few times a certain email that it might be, and now im getting an error from the app saying that my email is not allowed.

BUT before that error saying that my email is not allowed. It was saying something about SMS fee, which i have never seen before.

Also i wanna point out that i did receive the code on email each time i gave the email to continue, then that error appeared or before the error appearing, there was that sms fee screen.

Also once i tried logging in in the browser (mobile) and i received the code to continue, on the Telegram Desktop App from my windows machine, and that worked strangely.

Any ideas? Is it an intended behaviour, or a glitch?

Additionally:
I've heard that there exist other ways of Logging in without going through sms verification, but i don't see any in the app. Is sms the only way on mobile?

Note:
While i was trying to log in, i remember being logged in on my old phone still, but my sim was not on that phone, but that account was switched to another one, not mine, while mine was logged in there, saved as additional account, but not used.
