Telegram Premium and Telegram Stars: Gifted to Your Username

Both listings are delivered to a Telegram username, not to a login. At checkout you type the public @username of the account that should receive Premium or Stars, pay, and the gift arrives in that account. You never share a password, and the recipient can be you or someone else.

Telegram Premium: 3, 6 or 12 months

• Telegram Premium, 3 months ($17.99)
• Telegram Premium, 6 months ($22.99)
• Telegram Premium, 12 months ($44.99)

Telegram lists Premium at $4.99 a month. It raises the upload limit to 4 GB, speeds up downloads, transcribes voice messages, translates chats, removes ads in public channels and doubles limits such as pinned chats, folders and saved accounts. The longer the term, the less you pay per month.

Telegram Stars: 100, 500 or 1,000

Stars are Telegram's in-app currency. You spend them on items inside bots and mini apps, on gifts for other users, on paid posts and reactions, and to support channels. Pick the pack that matches how often you use them: 100 Stars at $3.99, 500 Stars at $18.99 or 1,000 Stars at $37.99. They land on the account balance under Settings, then My Stars.

What you need

Only a public username. Open Telegram settings, set one if the account has none, and copy it exactly. Checkout accepts it with or without the @. A typo sends the gift to a different account, and a sent gift cannot be moved.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to log in anywhere?

No. Telegram delivers the gift to the username; you only open Telegram afterwards to see it.

Can I buy Premium for a friend?

Yes. Enter their public username instead of yours.

Can I buy these in the Telegram bot?

The bot links you to the website for these items, because checkout has to collect the recipient's username.
