You can purchase Telegram Premium through the following methods

1. Subscription within the Telegram app (Bank card)
   • Open the Telegram mobile app and click the menu in the upper – left corner (three horizontal lines).
   • Go to “Settings”, find the “Telegram Premium” option and click it.
   • Select a monthly or annual subscription, add a payment method as prompted (you can use a credit card, debit card, etc.), and complete the payment to activate the subscription.
   • The subscription price and currency will be adjusted according to the country code of your mobile phone number and the location of the payment method.
2. Subscription via the official @PremiumBot (Bank card)
   • Search for and open @PremiumBot in Telegram.
   • Follow the instructions of the bot to complete the subscription process. If you log in to your account only through a PC, the subscription is usually more cost – effective, as it may bypass the fees of Apple and Google.
3. Payment with TON cryptocurrency (TON)
   • Connect a TON wallet (such as Telegram Wallet or Ton Keeper) through a third – party platform (such as Fragment.com), and use TON tokens to purchase Telegram Premium.
