International calls from your home phone.
Everything is simple here - there are general rules for dialing a number if you need to use international communications. First, a special one is recruited international code access (international code). For example, to call abroad from Russia or Ukraine, you must first dial “810”. Then comes the country code you are calling. For example, the code of Belarus is “375”. Then the city code (long-distance communication code) or destination area - if the call is sent to Minsk, then the city code will be “17”. And only at the end the phone number itself is dialed, where you need to call. Thus, if you need to call from Russia to Minsk by phone 266-24-11, then you should dial “810 375 17 266 24 11”.
The cost of a minute of conversation will depend on the tariffs of your telephone company, it may vary during the day and at night, and also depending on the day of the week (weekdays or weekends).
The disadvantage will be the fairly high cost of international calls made from a landline phone.
Exit to international communications from a mobile phone.
In this case, the rules for dialing a number for an international call will depend on the selected mobile operator.
In Russia, the largest mobile operators are MTS, Megafon and Beeline (VimpelCom). For MTS, the international communication code is the same as for a regular phone - 810, country code, city code, subscriber's phone number. The difference is that instead of “810” you can simply dial “+”. In addition, the service “ International access" Megafon and Beeline have the same rules for accessing international communications. In the latter, you must first activate the “International Communication” service.
In Ukraine, the main operators are MTS (formerly UMC), Kyivstar, Life, Beeline. In parallel with the usual dialing rules for an international call, the operator may offer additional service, reducing the cost of negotiations on international communications. For example, Kyivstar offers contract subscribers the “Star Sweet” service, where instead of the prefix “+” or “810” they dial “815”. You can find out more about the availability of such services on the website of your mobile operator.

Widespread implementation mobile communications has made communication quite accessible within the region, district, but long-distance, and even more so international communication remains significantly expensive. For example, MTS provides communication with subscribers from the CIS countries for 29 rubles per minute, and with Europe and foreign countries for 49 and 70 rubles per minute. respectively. Prices, if you call from a landline phone, for example through Rostelecom, are on average 2 times lower, but you won’t talk for a long time either.
How to call cheaper, and therefore more often, abroad or to another city if you don’t have a landline phone? Of course, via the Internet, even if you do not have a smartphone and do not have direct access to the Internet. To do this, you need to do something through your home computer.
Everything is in order. As soon as the Internet began to actively develop in Russia in the 90s, many companies immediately appeared offering long-distance and international communication services at prices 2-3, and sometimes up to 10 times lower than “regular” intercity. Cards with strange names appeared: “Zebra”, “Newton” and many others, which indicated the access number, code, dialing order and number of minutes.
All of these companies took advantage of the Internet thanks to the availability of the appropriate protocol and technical capabilities PBXs and stations of mobile operators through which access to the Internet was provided in general.
This method telephone communication via the Internet and related equipment have agreed to be called IP telephony, VoIP or SIP equipment.
As the Internet developed, companies selling these cards gradually disappeared, as more and more people began to use email, various messengers, allowing you to instantly exchange text messages, such as ICQ, Mirada, MAgent. Then messengers had the opportunity to exchange calls, communication systems Skype, OoVoo, Conferendo appeared, allowing you to organize video conferences if you have a computer with the Internet (or a smartphone), a microphone, speakers and appropriate software. And long-distance communication through landline phones became more accessible.
But the main thing is that IP telephony, using VoIP equipment at telephone exchanges, has become accessible via the Internet to everyone. Websites have appeared where, by registering and making a certain amount of money as an advance payment, you can call any phone number in any country using your phone or computer, and the prices, as they say, are pleasantly surprising.
How it works
As an example, the table shows several sites (providers) providing IP telephony services. Comparative prices for several call directions are indicated.
So, after registering on the selected site, the system assigns you a number, as on telephone exchange, this is the so-called SIP number; other participants in this system can call you for free on your computer using this number. To make calls to mobile and landline phones, you need to transfer a certain amount of money, depending on your needs, through an electric wallet, through a terminal, etc., to your account for the provider where you registered.
You can call in two ways:
1) via a computer, using a microphone and speakers, from your provider’s website, or using a special program - a dialer or softphone. For example, by registering on Comtube, you can call from your computer, for example in Riga, to your friend on landline phone at a price of 1.21 rubles/min., say from Moscow (as well as from any point where there is Internet). Plus the price for Internet traffic, if it is not unlimited.
2) having ordered the connection of two phones - a call back. For example, you are on your provider's website or special program enter your friend’s number in Riga and your home phone number in Moscow. The system calls you back, you pick up the phone, then the system calls back to Riga, the connection and conversation take place. You pay for this conversation based on the calculation, for example for Comtube - 1.21 rubles/min. for Riga and 0.55 rub./min. for Moscow, that is, 1.76 rubles are debited from your Comtube account. per minute of conversation. Your friend in Riga does not pay anything, your phone conversation, as for an MGTS subscriber, it is also free, since the system calls you both back, the call is incoming. The same is true if you call from a computer to a mobile phone or order a connection between two mobile phones - with mobile accounts money is not debited, since the calls are incoming, and you pay your provider (in in this example Comtube) according to its tariffs.
The GSM operator is paid for airtime or GTS by the provider (in this example, Comtube) at more than low prices, since it buys minutes wholesale and the connection is always local - between the nearest Internet pool and a subscriber in the same segment.
Therefore, calls via IP telephony are significantly cheaper, especially if you often have to call to other cities.
There is also a third method, but not all providers offering IP telephony services. This is an order call back via SMS or call to the access number.
You send an SMS message indicating the number you want to call, or call the access number and tone mode enter the subscriber's number, hang up, and the system calls you and your subscriber back, connecting you. You pay, as in the second method, for both ends to the provider plus the cost of SMS to the access number.
This is convenient if for some reason you find yourself in conditions where you only have a simple telephone or mobile phone without Internet access.
Some IP telephony providers have a number that can be used to call you for free (at your expense) from large cities.
From some providers you can buy an access telephone number, and you can be called like a regular phone, and you will receive the call either on your computer or assign forwarding.
To be on the safe side, it is advisable to register with two providers and have a certain amount of money there - NZ. There are days or hours when some provider begins to glitch - there is no way to get through or is interrupted, while others work fine.
How is this better than Skype?
Skype has a very good quality communication even with bad internet, even with mobile device. Maybe that's why it is most common among PC users. But she herself Skype program during a conversation, it takes up a lot of machine resources, and the more participants, the more, until the machine freezes.
The IP telephony providers discussed above provide us with the opportunity to make calls throughout Russia and the world, and we can implement this opportunity different ways: from your provider’s website by installing the softphone program on your computer or smartphone. You can also install IP phone or telephone adapter(cheaper than an IP phone) - a device that connects to the Internet and is configured with your provider. A regular telephone set is connected to the telephone adapter.
Its advantage is that, like an IP phone, it is independent device, independent of the computer, always connected to the provider via the Internet.
There are also USB phones, but there are almost no advantages, except for the dialer buttons over using a microphone with speakers, and in both cases you need the computer to be turned on all the time.
Softphone programs installed on a computer can be configured for almost any provider from the list above, with the exception of Skype. The same applies to telephone adapters and IP phones. Skype has its own program and special IP phones for Skype.
Free softphone programs, such as Zoiper, X-Lite, Express Talk(E1), SJphone, Sippoint.
We found Zoiper and SJphone the most convenient, but this is a matter of taste. They allow you to register several providers, have the necessary adjustments, work smoothly, without glitches.
X-Lite is comfortable, but free version You can register only one provider.
All specified programs can't send short messages and SMS. SMS can be sent by the Nonoh program, but it cannot be configured for other providers.
Skype, OoVoo, Conferendo are programs and corresponding providers designed for video conferencing; they also have the ability to transfer messages and files, like instant messengers. In Skype and ooVoo, you can, if desired, call landline or mobile phones, having previously deposited money into your account. Conferendo does not have this option.
Almost all of the programs mentioned above have versions for working not only on Windows, but also on Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android. However, for most smartphone users, completely different programs are the most fashionable.
What do they “wear” now?
Over the past 2-3 years, several programs for smartphones have appeared that combine the capabilities of an IP phone and an Internet messenger. Skype remains in applications for smartphones, but in terms of popularity it ranks last places. The most common in Russia are whatsapp And Viber. There are other similar programs.
Let's take a brief look at why they are good, each in its own way.
The success is mainly due to the fact that these programs use a mobile phone number as a login, and as soon as you install this program on your smartphone, subscribers from your list of subscribers immediately appear in its contact list. regular phone already registered in this program.
A Viber generally integrates into the phone's phone book, marking with an icon those subscribers who have Viber installed, and you can call them or send a message via the Internet. You can call via Viber to a regular phone, as well as an IP phone at its tariffs.
Viber- European free program, the service is located in Europe. Allows you to make calls and video calls, exchange messages, call regular phones. Can be installed Viber and to your computer, the messages will be duplicated, your computer will also display phone book with marked Viber users, you can call them from your computer.
whatsapp- only for exchanging messages and files, you cannot make calls. This is an American program, free for only a year, after which you have to pay annually. There is no version for Windows.
Line- a free Korean program for audio, video calls, messaging, and files. He makes money by selling stickers.
WeChat- Chinese free, for exchanging messages and files.
KakaoTalk- a free Korean program for audio, video calls, messaging, and files. According to Wikipedia, up to 93% of smartphone owners in South Korea use this program.
Skype- for smartphones, has a number of disadvantages, the call is slow, no light warning when a message arrives, messages may be lost, sometimes there is confusion with availability - you are disconnected, but everyone looks “green”. But with all this, the quality of communication on a smartphone from Skype turned out to be better than that of Conferendo and even sometimes than that of Viber.
