A few platform-specific things worth knowing before you order, so your results match what you expect.

Before you order
For Telegram orders, SMM8 strongly recommends a private invite link, so you can track the results of each order separately and more accurately.

Telegram Premium Member services deliver the exact number of premium members you purchase. The Premium statistics in Telegram's own channel settings are not always updated in real time and may not always be accurate.
Example: you purchase 1,000 Premium Members and 1,000 are delivered, while the counter in Telegram's settings still shows a lower number or does not update immediately. This is Telegram-side behavior and outside SMM8's control. A private invite link is the most reliable way to verify delivery yourself.
Before placing any Instagram order, make sure "Flag for review" is turned off on your account. This setting holds back followers that Instagram considers potential spam, which can prevent services from being delivered correctly.

In the Instagram app, open Settings and activity, then Follow and invite friends, and turn off Flag for review. Menu names can vary slightly by app version.
