A Telegram Station in Valentine


Telegrams are a really useful way to communicate over long distances with historical accuracy.

There are telegram stations throughout The Frontier, mainly located in populated towns with a Telegram Office.

Functionality

When a user joins The Frontier, they will be assigned a special Telegram number that can be discovered via a Telegram Office. This number will usually follow the format [AB1234] with two letters at the beginning, followed by four numbers. This telegram number is totally random, and no two are the same. With over 6 million telegram number variations, we'll never run out of space!

When you send a Telegram, you can specify the number and write your text with a selection of styles.

  1. Visit an official Telegram Station in The Frontier.

  3. Enter the Telegram Number of someone you wish to communicate with.
  4. Draft your message, choosing a range of fonts.
  5. Send your Telegram, and the Operator will ask for $0.10.
