Introduction
Internet, telephony, television... We use them every day in our daily lives, at work.
And they stopped counting gigabytes and minutes a long time ago. That is why providers of these services more often than others offer us unlimited tariffs, in other words, access to services at a fixed cost without restrictions on the volume consumed. Today in our article we will talk about unlimited calls. Agree that this is not only convenient. You communicate with clients, partners and colleagues without time limits. At the same time, we are confident that there is money on the balance sheet; not a single important business conversation will be interrupted at the most inopportune moment.
So, if you are planning to subscribe to a tariff plan with an unlimited package of minutes at a fixed price, looking for a great deal for local, long distance and international calls, be sure to read this article until the end.
Popular mobile phone operators advertise unlimited phone calls and even call their plans “unlimited.” Upon closer examination, it turns out that the unlimited tariff implies unlimited calls only to numbers of the same operator, albeit throughout Russia. And only a few companies are ready to offer, if not unlimited calls within Russia and the world, but at least a good package of minutes or a reduced rate for international calls.
IP telephony, when connected to a PBX, allows all participants connected to it to make free calls, no matter what country they are in. Below we will look at the tariffs of five popular operators that are at least vaguely similar to unlimited, and find out whether only IP telephony provides unlimited service in Russia, or whether mobile operators can satisfy the private and work needs of subscribers.
How to connect a home phone from MGTS?
Those wishing to connect the package they like should:
- Leave a request on the provider’s official portal (the managers themselves will call the potential client back).
- Visit the nearest company office.
- Call the hotline and report your desire to the consultants who answer.
Each approach mentioned will allow you to achieve your goal and connect to the city line.
Rostelecom
This operator offers several tariffs, which are formed according to a single principle. Tariffs for individuals include a certain number of minutes (from 400 to 800) + additional features. In the corporate segment there are tariffs from 500 to 3000 minutes. All tariffs include unlimited calls to operator numbers throughout the country. Some of them offer free use of social networks and instant messengers - Vkontakte, Instagram, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram and others. Tariffs for individuals allow you to use video traffic from Wink completely free of charge (up to 20 channels).
As we can see, the word “unlimited” in the tariff conditions applies only to certain functions, but does not allow you to call any numbers within Russia and not worry about the number of minutes spent. The cost of the company's services is low (from 300 to 800 rubles), but calls to other cities and countries are carried out at separate roaming rates.
Unlimited functions from Russian mobile operators
The cost of one message, depending on the operator and the selected TP, is one and a half to two and a half rubles. Slight differences in price are observed when sending messages within the country. Of course, this is quite expensive, especially since instant messengers offer free communication to all smartphone owners, and almost everyone has these devices. Based on this, some operators provide the opportunity to use special options, thanks to which you can significantly reduce prices for SMS messages.
Beeline
Beeline has a good tariff for home use “All for 1800 + roaming”. It includes unlimited calls throughout Russia to operator numbers, Internet at home in international roaming in countries most popular with tourists, as well as the ability to connect 5 numbers with which you can communicate for free by any means - via SMS, over the Internet or calls.
However, there are also no completely unlimited possibilities on this tariff - with it you do not get an unlimited number within Russia. For 1,800 rubles, the client is given 3,000 minutes, which are spent on calls within the network, to numbers of other operators, landline numbers and calls to the regions. When the package ends, per-minute billing comes into play. Calls to Beeline in your city are still free, and the rest are paid according to the tariff.
The Internet is also limited - the tariff includes only 15GB of traffic. In most countries it is consumed in the same way as at home (the list of countries in Zone No. 1 can be found on the website). If the number is registered in the network of another operator, unlimited Internet is automatically connected for a fixed fee (for example, in Crimea). The first 300 MB at a comfortable speed, then at 128 Kbps. Instead of unlimited Internet, you can choose the option “100MB in Crimea and the networks of other operators” or per-megabyte pricing.
For business, Beeline offers tariffs from 250 to 2000 rubles per month. The maximum tariff already includes a virtual PBX, but the number of minutes is also limited - 5000.

Calls via IP telephony
The easiest way to organize unlimited and profitable communications in a company is to create a unified corporate telephone network based on an office automatic telephone exchange (PBX).
Based on the review of operators above, unlimited calls within Russia via IP telephony may be more realistic than unlimited calls through mobile operators. Unlimited calls to mobile phones via SIP protocols are not charged if all subscribers are connected to the same PBX.
Calls within the corporate network
Many Internet communication service providers offer such a connection scheme, however, they do not widely publicize this possibility of using IP telephony.
Our company connects landline (work and home), mobile and even soft telephone numbers to the virtual PBX "Telfin.Office". Calls within the network are not limited in number and duration, most importantly, they are not charged
comments Ivan Pavlov, project manager at Telfin, a Russian IP telephony provider.
According to this scheme, the company connects the telephone numbers of all employees (regardless of their place of work and residence) to a single office PBX. Thus, the corporate network can include numbers of employees not only from different districts of one city, but also from other regions of Russia and even countries around the world.
Advantages of a unified corporate telephone network:
- unlimited calls within Russia and to other countries within the company;
- connecting any number of telephone numbers;
- free calls between employees.
The process of connecting and setting up a corporate telephone network in accordance with the tasks and requirements of the company takes from 1 business day. All work is performed by the provider’s technical specialists remotely and at no additional cost. In principle, any company employee (even without technical education) can independently connect a PBX and telephone numbers.
Calls within the Telfin “Unlimited World” tariff
Another option for unlimited communication is to select and connect an appropriate tariff plan. Today there are many offers on the market for an unlimited number of outgoing calls from mobile and landline phones. And if unlimited calls within the network (as a rule, in your region) are no longer a rarity, then unlimited long-distance and international calls to numbers of other providers are attracting the attention of more and more companies.
“The “Unlimited World” tariff allows you to make unlimited calls to 55 countries, for example, Australia, Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy and other countries. Additionally, as part of our offer, all calls within Russia are free (to landline numbers). The tariff also includes 500 minutes for calls to any mobile numbers in Russia,” says Ivan Pavlov.
Features of the “Unlimited World” tariff
| Subscription fee | Conditions and cost of connection |
| The subscription fee is 1900 rubles per month for 1 employee. What does it mean? This tariff from Telfin is designed for one user (one line). If a company has several employees planning to make international calls using an IP telephony tariff, then each of them needs to connect to their own “Unlimited World” tariff. For example, for 5 employees - 5 tariffs. | This tariff can be connected and used both with an IP phone and with a regular landline phone that works through a SIP adapter. If a company has equipment from Telfin , then the tariff plan is activated free of charge. When using devices purchased from other suppliers, a one-time connection fee is 900 rubles. |
If a company employee has an “Unlimited World” tariff for free calls to 55 countries, he can also call numbers in other countries. In this case, calls outside the zone are paid according to the “Per-minute” tariff. There are also profitable destinations here: Peru - from 1.5 rubles per minute, Mexico - from 2.85 rubles per minute, Romania - from 3.3 rubles per minute.
If a client wants to connect an unlimited tariff with a PBX, then this tariff is connected to each PBX line. Example, if the basic PBX has 4 lines, 4 tariffs are connected.
Advantages of the “Unlimited World” tariff from Telfin:
- unlimited phone calls to 55 countries;
- free communication within the same company;
- Compatible with regular and IP phones.
Many people believe that unlimited calls are the prerogative of mobile operators. However, in recent years, due to the increased demand for IP telephony services, the number of tariff plans for unlimited calls over the Internet has also been growing. Companies have already appreciated the high quality of IP telephony and are now not ready to overpay for additional minutes.
