Way 1: subscribe in the Telegram app

  1. Open Settings → Telegram Premium

    On iPhone, Android or desktop.

  2. Choose monthly or yearly

    The yearly plan is cheaper per month.

  3. Pay

    Through the App Store, Google Play or the payment provider Telegram offers on your platform.

Pros: official and fast. Cons: the subscription renews automatically, app stores often add their fee, and payment fails if your card or country isn’t supported by the store.

Way 2: receive Premium as a gift

Anyone can gift you Premium from their app or through our bot — they only need your @username. Channels also run Premium giveaways for their subscribers. Want to surprise someone yourself? See how to gift Telegram Premium.

Way 3: order through a bot — no app store, no wallet

  1. Open the bot

    Tap @PremiumAndStarsMarketBot or use the form on this page — it opens the bot with your order prefilled.

  2. Choose 3, 6 or 12 months

    For yourself or as a gift to any @username.

  3. See the price and payment options

    Everything is shown before you pay.

  4. Get Premium

    It arrives as a Telegram Premium gift, usually within minutes.

Pros: works when app store payments don’t, no crypto needed, no auto-renewal. Cons: it’s a third-party service — so choose sellers that never ask for login codes and show the price up front.

If Premium can’t be paid in your country

App stores don’t accept cards from every country and bank. For example, since 2022 Apple and Google don’t accept Russian bank cards, so in-app purchases fail there. Payments can also be declined when the store account region doesn’t match the card, or when the bank blocks foreign transactions.

In these cases use a bot where payment happens outside the app store. Error messages and fixes are collected in Telegram payment failed — what to do.

How to pay less for Telegram Premium

  • Take a longer period. 12 months is the best value per month.
  • Avoid the app store fee by paying outside the App Store and Google Play — in @PremiumAndStarsMarketBot our prices are the lowest, lower only on the Moon.
  • Compare before you pay — the bot shows the final price before payment, so you can decide calmly.
  • Join giveaways in channels you follow — Premium is a popular prize.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest way to buy Telegram Premium?

If your card works in the App Store or Google Play — the app. If it doesn’t, or you don’t want auto-renewal, order a fixed period in a bot: only a @username is needed.

Can I buy Telegram Premium for one month?

A monthly subscription is available inside the app. Gifted Premium (including in our bot) comes in periods of 3, 6 or 12 months.

Can I buy Premium without a bank card?

Yes: in our bot you choose from the payment methods it lists for your order.

Do I need to give my account details to a seller?

No. A legitimate seller needs only the @username. Never share login codes, passwords or session files.

Will I get Premium immediately?

In the app — right after payment. In our bot — usually within minutes after the payment is confirmed.
