On the test server (and even on production), some gifts in the internal resale market have been spotted selling for both lower and higher than the set limits.

Telegram might be planning to remove price limits or change something else in a future update — we’ll see 👀

Many have probably seen the news that Pavel Durov phone number starts with +999.

Well, that number is actually a test number. It used to be available to anyone on Telegram’s test servers, and on production it was reserved for Telegram devs only.
It’s not some big secret — there’s plenty of info about +999 online.

Right now, test numbers like that are disabled even on test servers, and only Telegram developers can use them. So no, you can’t sign up for Telegram using one.

This isn’t some new batch of “anonymous” phone numbers (like the +888 ones). Why Pavel chose a test number isn’t clear — maybe he just liked it 🙃

🤖 Here what's coming in the next Telegram update (v11.14.0):

— Selling NFT gifts in Telegram internal market for TON.
TON earned from sold gifts will be added to your account balance and can later be used to pay for paid posts in channels.
You can list a gift for sale with a minimum price of 1 TON and a maximum of 100,000 TON.
If your gift is listed in TON, users will still be able to buy it with Stars.
Telegram takes a 10% commission on each sale.

— Profile Rating.
This rating reflects your activity on Telegram — how many Stars you’ve spent on buying gifts, selling gifts, paid reactions in channels, and offering paid posts.
Your rating may decrease if you convert gifts back into Stars.
The rating also appears on bots — they earn it by sending gifts.
!!! Your past activity also counts, so your rating won’t start from 1.
