#22Hi. Do you plan to add a "per query" pricing plan ? I would be happy to use such a service from times to times but I don't think I'd subscribe for a monthly plan.
Hi pol0nium, The service has both subscription and per-query pricing plans as well. Once you post a query you get the payment link for the query. Subscription plan is easier to access the bot for unlimited answers. so we added the "subscribe" menu in the bot itself.
Thanks for the answer.

#23BEWARE: do NOT add random Telegram bots to your groups!!! Some bots copy the phone numbers of the users and add them to spam lists. So do not get surprised if you get spam messages in your telegram from Russian phone numbers offering fake glasses or home made soda (yeah that happened to me!) This stuff just started -- no one is controlling it. I have no idea how to report this. Blocking offenders doesn't do any good…
Proper Telegram Bots ( https://core.telegram.org/bots/ ) don't have access to your phone number. Maybe you added an account (that did not end in @xxxxbot) that was running on a custom backend.
How is @xxxbot enforced? I see in that article they have an official "BotFather" which doesnt seem to follow that rule.

Hi, why did you choose a Telegram bot and not other popular chat platforms?
Hi codewithcheese, Telegram is known for it's security, so we started our first build on it.
We actually wanted to develop on whatsapp. Whatsapp does not provide API's as rich as telegram. Further we wanted the telegram bot to be another way to use icliniq.com, our flagship portal. :)

Hi Smirnoff, Telegram bots are designed to run within a limited environment. Bots do not get access to phone number or anything such. Read more here --> https://telegram.org/blog/bot-revolution https://core.telegram.org/bots/api
This is from Telegram Bot FAQ -->The bots can receive: - Service messages (people added or removed from the group, etc.) And that's with Privacy Mode activated!
Btw by default, we have made our bot in such a way that one cannot add it to any group. :) Its completely personal with anyone who adds @icliniqbot from his telegram app.

You should put per-query pricing on the site if you offer it - can't find info on that anywhere
We will update it in the website shortly. Thank you for the feedback

Well. All our processes are HIPAA compliant but we do not have a certification yet.We are working on it :)

When you register a bot it has to end in ...bot, so any account that pretends to be one is easy to spot.

#30Hi Guys,
I am Dhruv, founder of icliniq.com. We already have three modes of accessing a doctor on icliniq viz. query, doctor call back and video consultation. And its exciting to say that we have solved 100,000 health issues for users across 160 countries.
With all the above happening, we were thinking of making an iOS app for icliniq. That's when we came across the fact that a normal person has 27 apps on his/her phone. But he/she would only 4-5 apps most of the time.And another 5-6 apps periodically. The most used apps would be IM apps or social network apps. So how do we make ourselves available on the most used app was our thought? We also wanted to be seamless. And that answer was icliniq on telegram with icliniq bot. Simply because telegram had wonderful API's to make it seamless. :)
We also got listed on product hunt --> http://www.producthunt.com/tech/icliniq-on-telegram
