If you already know the channels, there are some Telegram -> RSS conversion services on the web that I've used successfully for just observing.
When I had to use it at one point to get in touch with someone, I used a spare prepaid MVNO SIM card that had been bought with cash (hat + mask optional). Signed up a no-data plan so I had a phone number for 5$/mo to register and then cancelled the plan. Personally I switched to a client on F-Droid called forkgram if I recall which showed up as com.telegram.messenger.something on its app tile, but had all the "premium" features enabled somehow.
Btw, if you have an old phone lying around, odds are you hack it to can change its IMEI nowadays. And most MNVOs don't use device IMEI allow-lists even though they're reselling networks like AT&T which try that crap.

I also use Forkgram, too bad they don't remove the ads like Nekogram
