Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov on Jan 9 posted that telegram have reached 5 million premium subs. Personally I think giveaways played a big role in this and I believe this would help telegram cover its costs even more. Which is good for us users

    Here it’s double that, 4 euros per month. I would pay 2 euros too because then it’s a reasonable cost just for the emois.

      I wonder why there’s such a price difference. You’re using Euros, so it’s not due to local currency valuations. It’s only $30 per year in the USA, or $2.50 per month. Your cost is almost double!

      I have to mention that I’ve downloaded the app from the website - premium costs more if you download the app from the store. In Italy, the pricing is 3.66 €/month if you pay monthly, or 2.24 €/month if you pay annually
