Telegram does not take Iranian cards. rima buys the pack on your behalf and gifts it to your own username or anyone else's — the fee is 4% and published further down this page, and you pay in Toman with your own bank card.

Why it's hard
Telegram Stars are bought either inside the app through the App Store and Google Play, from Telegram's official @PremiumBot, or with cryptocurrency on Fragment. None of those routes accept an Iranian card, and the app-store route additionally needs an Apple or Google account with a foreign payment method on it.
The usual route is handing your account to a seller to «top up». The problem is that signing in to Telegram does not use a password at all — it uses a one-time code sent at that moment — so anyone who can top up your account also has access to every message in it. This service removes that route entirely.
What's in scope
rima is not a Telegram reseller or agent; it buys the Stars on your behalf and at your cost. Delivery uses Telegram's own official «gift Stars» mechanism: we gift the pack to the username you give, and the Stars are added to that account's balance. We do not sign in to your account, we do not ask for your phone number, and we do not ask for a password. Where the Stars are then spent — a bot, a mini app, paid content or a gift to someone else — is between you and Telegram's rules, not rima's.
How it works
The number of Stars you need. Each pack's price and rima's fee are printed separately in the table below.
That is the only thing we need — yours, or the username of whoever you are buying for. The Stars are gifted to that username, so make sure it is right before you order.
With an Iranian bank card through rima's own gateway. The final amount is shown before you pay, and the order is trackable in your panel.
Why we ask for no password
A Stars gift is sent to a username from the outside and needs no access to that account whatsoever. There is therefore nothing to encrypt, to hold, or to destroy afterwards — because nothing was taken from you in the first place.
Because delivery is routed by username alone, a typo means the Stars reach somebody else's account, and that is not reversible. The order form checks the username's format, but only you know whether it is the right one.
Price
Each item's price and rima's fee are listed separately and are the numbers checkout uses. The Toman column is worked out at the current rate and is only an estimate; the exact amount is fixed at payment, at that moment's rate, and shown to you before you pay.

FAQ
An order whose plan price (before the fee) is up to $40 needs only your mobile number, up to $100 in total per account. A larger order, or one that takes you past that total, first needs a one-time identity check with your mobile number, national ID and date of birth — after which it is not asked for again.
The fee is 4%, but it has a $1 floor, and on the smaller packs that floor is what binds: putting a card through for a small pack is the same work as for a large one. The «effective fee» column shows exactly that rather than hiding it.
Gifted Stars are added to that account's Stars balance and spent from there. A regular user cannot convert Stars back into money, so order the amount you actually need. If you have no username yet, create one first in Telegram's settings.
