Telegram Premium Offer Raises Privacy Concerns
- You may be offered a free Telegram premium subscription in exchange for relaying up to 150 texts per month
- This allows Telegram to avoid SMS fees for sending one-time passwords
- However, it makes your phone number visible to recipients, opening you up to potential harassment
- Telegram's terms state you take full responsibility for any harassment or other issues
- It's best not to accept the offer due to privacy and potential harassment risks
