Telegram Premium on iPhone: how to pay without the App Store
In the iPhone version of Telegram, Premium is sold through the App Store, and the App Store doesn't accept cards issued by Russian banks. So from Russia you can't pay for Premium by card inside the iPhone app.
Order the subscription on the KRAB.GG website or in the @krabggbot bot instead: the App Store isn't involved, and Premium shows up in the same Telegram app on your iPhone. The steps:
- 1.Open this page in your iPhone browser or message the @krabggbot bot.
- 2.Choose a term: 3, 6 or 12 months.
- 3.Enter the @username of the account that needs Premium. No Telegram password or login code needed.
- 4.Pay with any method listed at checkout.
- 5.Wait for Telegram's notification: on average the subscription turns on in 3 seconds.
