I have had a great experience with Telegram app with poor connections.

No wonder it's so popular in Asia, Russia and Middle East.

I am not sure how is it compared to WeChat. I have no friends from mainland China :/

Compared to LINE - originally Japanes app, popular in these regions - it's a godsend. LINE is terrible.

How can you get your contacts migrate to Telegram?

Hard :)

The network effect is hard to overcome. I migrated to it just because a lot of people in my company used it.

You can try to persuade just the friends that you talk to the most, and if they will like it, let them share it further. Or not, if they don't.
