I have a version of my CV which compiles successfully and includes lots of modifications such as a second address line, inclusion of several icons from Font Awesome such as Whatsapp and Skype, etc. However, my attempts to include a Telegram icon don't seem to work. In the "\addresstwo" line (line #87) I can show a MWE of Whatsapp working just fine. When I try to change it to the line just below, I compile with error messages and no icon. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I'm guessing this has something to do with my version of FontAwesome, but I've gone into Miktex 2.9 and run the "Maintenance (Admin)/Miktex Update (Admin)" program as well as "/MiKTeX Package Manager (Admin)" updates and haven't been able to get it working correctly. I'm not totally sure how all these package managers update so I might be doing something wrong. Any advice most welcome.

The package
fontawesomedoes not contain a command\faTelegram. An overview of the available symbols can be found in the package documentation: http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/fontawesome/doc/fontawesome.pdfIn case you are satisfied with a paper aeroplane instead:
Update 2018:
With the new
fontawesome5package you can now directly use\faTelegram:
