Refuse direct megaphone number. New rules for paying for MegaFon city numbers

For ease of communication, it is often necessary to change existing format phone number. In order not to get confused in the variety of combinations, you need to know how to do this and the benefits of switching from one option to another.

What is a telephone number?

Although telephone communications appeared relatively recently, not to mention its mobile version, we are accustomed to the fact that in order to communicate we need to know the code. This is a set different quantities a number that connects one subscriber to another or, more simply put, a telephone number. The connection occurs within the boundaries existing network V automatic mode.

So far, only stationary devices, we had to remember combinations of five to seven numbers. The length of the subscriber ID directly depended, and even now depends on the number of device owners in a particular locality. And the more of these owners, the longer the combination.

Research by a group of American scientists conducted at the end of the last century proved that human short-term memory is incapable of remembering a limited amount numerical information. That is, any of us can easily remember a six-digit set of numbers using a personal associative series, but quickly learning the ten-digit version is almost impossible. At least when we're talking about about the average person.

Size matters

In Russia, distribution and use telephone dials numbers are regulated by a special set of Rules. The document says that all available combinations of numbers can be graded to Various types. The most interesting are the classification options into geographic and non-geographic numbers. So how are they different from each other?

  1. The first include mobile phone formats that do not have a clear link to a specific location on the map. They can be identified within the network only by the region of connection.
  2. The second includes the two most common types. Federal, that is, ten-digit numbers in which mandatory a sequence of numbers is indicated indicating the codes of the country, region, and only then the local set of numbers.

In addition, there are also direct or, as they are also called, city formats - they are much shorter, due to the absence of the need to use regional codes.

Federal number

This combination is also called the geographic national format open plan. What are its advantages? Firstly, this option is universal for any subject of the country, that is, if you know the subscriber’s federal number, you can easily call him from any city.

The obvious disadvantage is its size. This is a ten or even twelve digit combination that is difficult to remember. In addition, given the constant growth of subscribers, it is likely that the area code may spontaneously change. No one will personally inform you about this, which means that the likelihood of getting through to you is reduced to zero.

Landline number

Concerning direct number, then here the use of a “prefix” in the form of two codes is not necessary, which means that it itself looks much shorter and is easier to remember.

This option is very convenient to use within one settlement. True, in terms of long-distance calls there are some difficulties. For example, calling a six-digit Barnaul number from Moscow without knowing the code Altai Territory, is simply impossible. Considering that the number of regional codes is measured in hundreds, remembering them spontaneously is an impossible task in principle.

Number matching

Converting city numbers to federal numbers is not difficult. Knowing the country code (+7), the city code, which can be from three to five digits (the smaller the locality, the longer its code) and the local subscriber ID. The total should usually be ten digits. That is, if you call small town, for example, the same Barnaul, you should dial: +7 (3852) and a six-digit city number. For Moscow it will be +7 (495) and a seven-digit combination.

As for non-geographical ones, that is mobile options, then here the correspondence system is more complex. There are constantly updated and supplemented tables in which you can find out which local format corresponds to your mobile phone.

Contrary to logic, some telecom operators try not to make this data public on their official resources, trying to artificially increase the number of calls to information and support services. Others, on the contrary, openly publish matching lists, which allows subscribers to independently determine paired options.

Translation algorithm

But how can you turn a federal number into a city number? In fact, there are several translation algorithms./p>

  • First, you can contact the customer support service of your telecom operator directly and request the desired combination and its activation.
  • Second - you can use automated services, which will help make the transition without the participation of operators.
  • Third - through the service provider’s website, you can independently activate the city or federal options, or refuse to use any of them.

When a user connects to an operator mobile communications, together with the new SIM card he receives an 11-digit individual number, from which and to which he will subsequently receive calls, make outgoing calls, and also use other features modern means communications.

Users often have a question: what does a federal and city number mean for MTS or another operator? cellular communication?

What is a Federal subscriber number? This 11-digit number is a number in federal format. The room includes:

  • 8 (or +7) is the code for accessing the federal line in the territory Russian Federation.
  • 9ХХ – prefix of a cellular operator from a pool of prefixes allocated to the operator by the Ministry of Communications (Federal Communications Agency). Each operator has a set of dedicated prefixes, which (at least in their service region) have long been easily recognizable.
  • XXX-XX-XX – actually unique subscriber number federal format. Can have any combination of numbers. Operators also select so-called “Beautiful Numbers” for sale at an additional cost.

All calls made from or to such a number are essentially “long-distance”, but are charged by the operator taking into account unique sets of prefixes, which are different and unique in each individual service area. To call such a number, we must dial from any phone (both mobile and landline), regardless of its location full set numbers – 11.

Landline number

The full city number is also 11-digit. A complete set of city number (or "Geographic national open plan number") includes:

  • 8 (or +7) – code for accessing the federal line on the territory of the Russian Federation.
  • XXX – region prefix (often with the addition of the locality prefix XX).
  • XXX-XX-XX is actually a unique subscriber number in a city format. Can have any combination of numbers from a pool of numbers assigned to a specific geographic area by the Ministry of Communications and Communications (Federal Communications Agency).

Calls made to or from such a number within their locality require dialing only a unique number - from 5 to 7 digits depending on the region (“Geographic local open plan number”). Calls from mobile numbers, as well as calls from landline numbers in other regions of the country, require dialing the full 11-digit subscriber code.

Usage differences

How does using a Federal number differ from using a City number?

  • Calls to landline numbers within your region do not require payment.
  • Calls to landline numbers within your region do not require dialing region prefixes.
  • Calls from all regions of Russia require dialing a regional prefix, which was previously strictly tied to a specific region.

The difference in the set of numbers has only a psychological meaning and is in no way an indicator of “solidity”, “location” or anything else. There are, of course, differences: calls made within your “geographic pool of local numbers” become more convenient due to the shorter digital number combination.

How does this happen?

So what about subscribers using mobile devices, get “City numbers” if there is a strict geographical reference for combinations of numbers?

The point is that when purchasing new SIM a card with a “City Number” or by activating the “City Number” service, you receive two numbers linked to each other, duplicating the last 4 to 7 unique digits (local number depending on the region). These numbers are the correspondence between city and federal MTS numbers. That is, knowing the subscriber’s federal mobile number, we will be able to call him in the “City Number” format. But it’s difficult to tell how to find out a federal mobile number, knowing the city number. There are a lot of prefixes of different mobile operators in the same region.

There is mutual constant call forwarding between your numbers. By providing the “City Number” service, your mobile operator enters into a special tripartite agreement with the local operator landline connection(MGTS in Moscow, Rostelecom mainly in the Russian Federation).

Connecting the “City Number” service to your current federal number is not always possible - it all depends on whether it is possible to provide a duplicate landline number from operators.

How much does it cost to use a landline number?

The cost of the “City Number” service depends on the region and operator. At MTS, the price for using the service is usually about 500 rubles per month, and regional users will pay on average from 120 to 350 rubles per month. Whether the differences in the combination of numbers are so important for you to use your number is up to you to decide.

Instructions

Full number in federal format includes the country code (usually 1 digit, in the case of Russia it is +7), city code or mobile operator(3 or 4 digits), as well as the subscriber's telephone number (6-7 digits). If you have a telephone, then most likely you know it in the federal format, since most are provided to subscribers in this way.

If you have a direct cell phone, that is, one that has the same number of numbers as , it can also be presented in the federal format. You need to add the area and country code just as if it were a simple landline number.

You can also contact your phone company's help desk to find out the long version of your number. It depends on the cellular operator whether to use a simple prefix to add the number to the federal one, or whether you will have to remember it completely. For example, a prefix works for direct MTS numbers, but Tele2’s short version is often completely different from the federal one. The point is that calling direct cell number for long-distance communications, if you use the federal city code as a supplement, it works out great, but problems may arise with the delivery of SMS - they only come to the long version of the number provided by the operator.

note

If you are calling from mobile number to the local city, then know it federal format not necessary. All modern cellular operators route such calls correctly, and you will get to the right subscriber, even if you dial his number without the area code and eight.

Helpful advice

If you have a landline phone on which the number eight is blocked, that is, access to a long-distance line is prohibited, and you want to call someone on their cell phone, then sometimes this is possible. Some cellular operators provide alternative dialing codes that allow you to call a federal mobile number from your home phone for free. However, at present, most mobile operators have suspended the provision of this service. This is due to the fact that incoming calls to cell phones have become free, and telephone companies started losing money because of such a service. This issue can be clarified by contacting your operator's support service.

The article describes what a city and federal number of mobile operators is: Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2.

The use of mobile phones has long become commonplace for most people in all countries. Today, customers of mobile operators can no longer just get the opportunity to just make a call, but are also able to choose countless different additional services. For example, the ability to choose one or another personal number.

Such numbers can be “beautiful”, short, belong to various operators. In addition, such popular Russian companies, How " MTS», « Megaphone», « Beeline" And " Tele 2"offer to their clients federal And landline numbers. Let's talk about this in more detail.

What is a federal and city number on MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Tele2?

We all know what regular mobile phone numbers look like. Most people visualize the numbers " MTS», « Megafon», « Beeline" And " Tele 2"at least in my region. These numbers are provided by default to each subscriber who buys a SIM card, and are essentially federal.

That is, a federal number is a number that, when dialed, you can reach the subscriber, no matter where he is in the Russian Federation. You can also call this number from abroad. It looks like this: +7 (8) XXX XXX XXX XX. First digit ( +7 or 8 ) is the code of the Russian Federation. Next comes the three-digit code of the mobile operator ( 988 , 905 etc.), and the number ends with seven specific digits that are assigned to each individual subscriber.

When calling from a home phone to a federal number, dial eight, and when calling from a mobile phone - 8 or +7 . Calls to federal numbers, as a rule, are paid if the calling subscriber has not subscribed to a special service (which, in turn, will charge a subscription fee).

A city number usually contains seven, six or five digits (depending on the number of subscribers in a given city) and is intended for calls within your city. That is, you can call directly to a city mobile number only when the receiving incoming call the subscriber is in the same city as you. You can call from both mobile and home phones.

If you are in other regions, then you can call a city mobile number by first dialing the city and country code of the called party.

Having a city mobile number is almost equivalent to the number assigned home phone, with the only difference being that mobile phone is always with you. The payment is the same (monthly, per minute, etc.), and calls to it within your city are free. Also, a city number is easier to remember.

What does the federal and city number of MTS, MegaFon, Tele2, Beeline mean?

The difference between a federal number and a city number may also be in price. It all depends on the mobile operator and its offers. As a rule, subscribers choose federal numbers without subscription fee, and urban ones - with it. Although, everything can be the other way around.
