Telegram has started offering Premium subscriptions in exchange for the ability to send SMS messages from users’ phones.
If you enable this option, the messenger will send SMS with authorization codes to other users.
Telegram will send no more than 150 messages per month. They will be considered like regular outgoing SMS. Users will pay for sending them according to their tariffs, if they do not have an unlimited SMS package activated.
When the minimum number of SMS sent is reached, the messenger will give you a promotional code for a Premium subscription.
Only owners of Android smartphones can take advantage of the offer. Telegram also warns that recipients will see the phone number from which the authorization code was sent.
The service is currently only available to Telegram users in Indonesia. (Telegram Info)
