From its inception to the present day, telephony remains one of the most effective and simple methods of communication. Just 15 years ago, a mobile phone was a luxury, and many only dreamed of this means of communication. Now every resident of a large city has a cell phone, IP telephony is being actively introduced into various sectors of business, and business and personal communication has become an integral part of the lives of modern people. Today, the quality of communication services is at a fairly high level and does not raise any questions - now more attention is paid to the functionality and practicality of the phone number.
What is a federal number?
Federal is usually understood as the 11-digit subscriber number of a cellular operator, which is presented in an international format - with the national Russian prefix +7, indicating the operator code, for example 916, 915, as well as the 7-digit personal number of the subscriber. The number is called “federal” because, using it, people can call the subscriber from anywhere in the country or the world.
The main advantage of the federal number is that when you use it, you are guaranteed to reach the subscriber (of course, provided that he is in the access zone). It also has a drawback - it is quite long, making such numbers more difficult to remember.
A federal number, as a rule, is completely free for a subscriber of a cellular operator. Sometimes, of course, a client of a communication service provider may need to pay extra for a nice number when signing a contract - but the corresponding costs are usually one-time. Having purchased such a number, the subscriber will most likely be able to use it in the future without any other costs.
Quickly disable paid subscriptions
Check availability of subscriptions by requesting *111*159#. You will find out the full list of additional services active for the number. It will contain paid and free subscriptions. The request *152*2# displays a list of entertainment subscriptions only.
To disable unwanted paid services, enter *111*919#. These numbers disable all paid services connected to the number. How to disable subscriptions selectively using MTS commands:
You can completely cancel unlimited access to the Internet by dialing *510*0# or *530*0# (if 1 day of access is activated).
What is a direct number?
Direct is traditionally understood as a subscriber number presented in a “city” format. It also has a national prefix +7, but it is followed not by the operator code, but by the city code in which the subscriber signed an agreement with the cellular service provider.
In turn, after the city code, the subscriber’s personal number is indicated, the length of which is identical to that established for all landline telephone numbers of the corresponding locality. For example, in Moscow such numbers are 7-digit.
It often happens that a direct number also has a “federal” version, in which the operator code is indicated, not the city code. In this case, the last few digits of both numbers are the same. The subscriber can use any of them of his choice.
The corresponding number is called “direct” because residents of the locality in which the subscriber has signed an agreement with the cellular operator can call him without dialing the national prefix and area code - that is, directly.
The main advantage of a direct number is that it is relatively shorter than a federal number and is therefore better remembered. In turn, its minor drawback is the inability to reach a subscriber by dialing only his personal number if you make a call from outside the locality.
However, if the caller knows in which city the called person lives, then he can easily determine the numbers needed to make a call - in the form of an area code, which will be the same for all direct numbers of the corresponding locality.
Subscribers of modern Russian cellular operators usually use direct numbers for an additional fee. This is usually a monthly subscription fee.
Mobile operators to help
You can also ask your mobile operator for the full version of your number. The fact is that for different operators the federal number may differ from the short one. For example, with MTS the short version turns into a federal one only by adding a prefix, but with Tele2 the short number is often completely different from the “long” one. And if there are no problems with long-distance calls if you use only the area code, then with SMS delivery everything is just the opposite: they will be delivered only to the “long” version of your number.
You can also find out a federal number from a city number using databases, but only if your operator is generous and posts one, which happens extremely rarely. The most popular operators are MTS, Megafon and Beeline. Almost all tariff plans of these cellular companies immediately provide a federal number. Federal number codes for the top three: MTS – 916, Megafon – 920, Beeline – 903.
Comparison
The main difference between a federal number and a direct number is that you can reach the first one only if you dial it in full - indicating, along with the subscriber’s personal number, also the national prefix and operator code. The location of the caller does not matter.
In turn, you can reach the owner of a direct number without dialing the national prefix and area code - however, only if the caller is in the same locality.
Strictly speaking, a direct number can rightfully be considered a type of federal number, since if it is dialed with a prefix and area code, you can also reach the subscriber from anywhere in the country or the world. However, a classic “federal” number under no circumstances allows you to dial a subscriber using only a personal number.
Having determined what the difference is between the federal and direct numbers, we will record the main conclusions in the table.

The federal number is the same mobile number that is familiar to the number, which will consist of 11 digits: +79ХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ. To call a federal number, the user must dial all the numbers indicated in the number.
The local number consists of 6 or 7 digits depending on the region - XXX-XX-XX. To call such a number, the user just needs to dial the specified numbers without the area code. However, in some regions you need to call even landline numbers by dialing the area code, for example, +7495-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
By default, cellular operators use a federal number, while a city number is available for an additional fee. There are even tariffs where a city number is initially used, but the subscription fee for it is higher than for a federal number. All operators, including MTS, Beeline, Megafon and Tele2 support landline numbers.
What to choose? It's up to you to decide. Most people use federal numbers and don't complain. Landline numbers are usually used if you need a memorable number for business, for example. Although some businessmen also prefer to use landline numbers for themselves rather than for business.
When a user connects to a mobile operator, along with a 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 capabilities of modern means of communication.
Users often have a question: what does a federal and city number mean for MTS or another cellular operator?
Instructions
The full number in federal format includes the country code (usually 1 digit, in the case of Russia it is +7), the city or mobile operator code (3 or 4 digits), and the subscriber's telephone number (6-7 digits). If you have a cell phone, then most likely you know it in the federal format, since most numbers are provided to subscribers in this way.
It is very easy to find out the federal number for your home phone. Find out your area code and add it to your own phone number as a prefix. Then add another country code, for Russia it is +7. Now your home number is written in federal format.
If you have a direct cell phone, that is, one that has the same number of digits as landline numbers, 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 a federal number to the number, or whether you will have to remember a completely different number. For example, a prefix works for direct MTS numbers, but Tele2’s short version of the direct number is often completely different from the federal one. The fact is that calling a direct cell number via long-distance communication, if you use it as a complement to the federal area code, works out fine, 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 a mobile number to a local landline number, then you do not need to know its federal format. 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 on cell phones became free, and telephone companies began to lose money due to such a service. This issue can be clarified by contacting your operator's support service.

Federal number
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 on the territory of the 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 is actually a unique subscriber number in the 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 the full set of numbers – 11 – from any phone (both mobile and landline), regardless of its location.
USSD command
In almost every area of life it is necessary to indicate a main telephone number. You are able to instantly obtain the necessary data. Just dial a simple three-digit combination on the call screen - *201#. After this, a notification will be sent to your mobile device with the relevant information - cell phone number. This feature is implemented on all operator tariff plans and is valid throughout the Russian Federation.
A special help menu has been developed for all clients of the company - Tele2 Guide. Enter the command *111#. The display will display a window containing a list of options and functions. Follow the on-screen instructions to achieve a specific goal.
Landline number
The full city number is also 11-digit. A complete set of city number (or "Geographic National Open Plan") 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.
Internet options connection codes
provided a large number of different options for the mobile Internet. To activate and remove them, special short commands have been created, which can be found below:
Name | Number combination | Description |
Online | *345# | Provides unlimited access to popular instant messengers and social networks. |
Turbo button | *111*05*1# and *167# | When activated, the Internet connection speed reaches a maximum value of 100 MB or 500 MB. |
Internet packages | *111*1417*1# (3 GB) *111*1817*1# (20 GB) | By dialing one of the specified combinations, the subscriber will be provided with a certain amount of traffic for a month. |
Youtube | *678# | Provides unlimited access to use the Youtube service. |
General package | *434*1# | The option allows you to share your packages with other subscribers. |
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 how do subscribers using mobile devices receive “City numbers” if there is a strict geographical binding of number combinations?
The fact is that when you purchase a new SIM card with a “City number” or connect it, you get two numbers linked to each other, duplicating the last 4 – 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 , your mobile operator enters into a special tripartite agreement with the local fixed-line operator (MGTS in Moscow, Rostelecom mainly in the Russian Federation).
Connecting to your current federal number is not always possible - it all depends on whether the operators have the opportunity to provide a duplicate landline number.
What is the difference
In short, the difference between federal and city numbers is in their format. The first one starts with +7, followed by a specific region code (for example, 910), and then a combination of seven digits. To summarize, it turns out that the phone needs to be dialed in full international format. If you need to call from landline devices, then instead of +7 you need to dial 8, and then follow the standard: region code and a seven-digit number.
If you have chosen a landline number among MTS numbers, then you need to dial it from local mobile phones or landlines in seven-digit format. This option is more suitable for those people who are engaged in their own business. A shorter combination will be easier for potential clients to remember.
Each direct landline telephone has its federal duplicate. This only works within the network. The company provides each subscriber with two numbers at once under the terms of a tripartite agreement. That is, it turns out that if you know the direct landline phone number of a user, then you automatically know his federal duplicate.
Any MTS communication store offers its users to purchase a connection kit with a landline number. But it is worth noting that the subscription fee payments in this case will be 500 rubles more than with its federal duplicate.
To choose, you need to contact specialists at the service salon. Then you should tell them what you want to purchase and for what purpose. The consultant will offer you all kinds of options, and you yourself can choose the one that you like. This may be the most memorable, easiest or beautiful combination of numbers. After your determination, you will be given a SIM card that will have a correspondence between two combinations (only the beginning is different, but the seven-digit end is the same).
If suddenly you don’t like something about using a federal and city number at the same time, then you will be wondering if it is possible to disable it. It is worth noting that this is not provided in the MTS network, so you will simply have to change your federal phone. If something becomes unclear to you, it is better to clarify your questions with the operator, or read the detailed information on the official website.
How much does it cost to use a landline number?
The cost 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.
When purchasing a SIM card, the subscriber is issued a unique telephone number in one of the formats: federal or city. Today, many operators sell numbers in pairs, that is, you can use a federal and city number at the same time.
Let's figure out what the difference and features of these formats are.

What is the difference between a federal and a city number?
A telephone number in federal format is the familiar 11-digit numbers that include the following elements:
- +7 — international country code of the Russian Federation;
- The prefix is three numbers that indicate the operator and region (905, 961, 987, etc.). Each operator has a certain list of prefixes in the region, many of them have long been known to Russians. For example, people know that a call is from Moscow if they see the numbers 926 (Megafon), 916 (MTS) on their mobile phone, but Beeline does not have such a clear trend; its codes 903, 905 are used in many regions.
- Unique 7-digit subscriber number.
For example, the federal number of MTS Moscow looks like this: +7-916-xxx-xx-xx, and federal Megafon numbers often start with the prefix 926: +7-926-xxx-xx-xx. The federal number is international, that is, to call from abroad, you need to dial the same sequence of numbers as in Russia.
The city number is identical in appearance to the regular numbers of the city landline network. In Moscow it consists of 7 digits. However, it is worth considering that from a mobile phone or from a landline you need to dial not only 7 digits without codes and prefixes.
This is due to the fact that the capital has a closed numbering format, and it is impossible to use dialing without an area code or operator. The closed numbering plan is also due to the fact that for Moscow today there are not one, but two codes - 495 and 499. It turns out that one seven-digit number can be in two codes.
Also, if you call from another region, you need to dial a city number with an area code, say, or with a region code, but for this you need to know the full federal number.
So, the main difference between a federal number and a city number is that they have an international format of 11 digits, and you can call it both within your home region and from abroad in the same way.
Instructions
The full number in federal format includes the country code (usually 1 digit, in the case of Russia it is +7), the city or mobile operator code (3 or 4 digits), and the subscriber's telephone number (6-7 digits).
If you have a cell phone, then most likely you know it in the federal format, since most numbers are provided to subscribers in this way. It is very easy to find out the federal number for your home phone. Find out your area code and add it to your own phone number as a prefix. Then add another country code, for Russia it is +7. Now your home number is written in federal format.
If you have a direct cell phone, that is, one that has the same number of digits as landline numbers, 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 a federal number to the number, or whether you will have to remember a completely different number. For example, a prefix works for direct MTS numbers, but Tele2’s short version of the direct number is often completely different from the federal one. The fact is that calling a direct cell number via long-distance communication, if you use it as a complement to the federal area code, works out fine, 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 a mobile number to a local landline number, then you do not need to know its federal format. 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 on cell phones became free, and telephone companies began to lose money due to such a service. This issue can be clarified by contacting your operator's support service.

Cellular communications provider Tele2 is developing a large number of interesting options that significantly improve and simplify the subscriber’s life. So, users are able to connect to their SIM card. It is much easier to remember, because there are fewer numbers in the combination. A beautiful set of numbers significantly increases consumer interest. But some operations require a long sequence. And they simply forget about her. Today we will look at how to find out a federal number using a short code on Tele2.
For whom are landline numbers created?
Landline cell phone numbers are usually of interest to businesses related to customer services. Such numbers are chosen by taxi services, food delivery services, car services, online stores, etc. For such companies, a landline number is definitely beneficial:
- The client needs to remember only 7 digits instead of 11, as in the federal number. Most often, companies buy beautiful and easy-to-remember numbers, like 555-33-33, etc., in which the numbers form a sequence. Numbers with code 495 are considered more expensive.
- Landline numbers are associated with a reliable company that has its own office connected to a fixed city network. Although today an ordinary student running a micro-business from a rented room can own a city cell number
- City numbers look beautiful in outdoor advertising, be it banners, printing or business cards.
Today, private individuals rarely connect regular landline phones, but landline numbers from cellular operators, on the contrary, are gaining popularity. Calls from landlines to landline numbers are free, and for people who are interested in saving money, this can be a determining factor when choosing a company.
Please call back
The company provides its customers with the opportunity to stay in touch even with a zero or negative mobile account balance, as well as find out the number on Tele2. How to do it? Just dial the encoding - *118* cell number #, then press the call button. After this, a notification letter will be sent to the specified contact, which contains detailed information about the sender. The newsletter is not charged according to the current contract, it is free. Subsequently, ask your friend to dictate to you the treasured sequence of numbers. The service is called Beacon.
Key advantages of city numbers
City numbers from cellular operators have at least 3 more key benefits compared to federal numbers or numbers from a landline network.
- You can change your office without any problems. The SIM card is inserted into a regular cell phone, which means that it is not tied to a location. There is no need to draw a new line when moving or interrupt work. This SIM card can also be transferred to regions where the company does not yet have an office or representative office.
- Fast connection. With a city number, you don’t need to purchase expensive equipment and wait for installers to install wires.
- Huge possibilities for setting up telephony. It is to landline numbers that you can connect call forwarding, set up multi-channel, call recording, etc.
However, you need to take into account that servicing a city number is more expensive.
Number on USB modem
Most consumers use a SIM card for . It is inserted into a specialized USB router device. You decided to top up your SIM card balance, but forgot the combination. To determine it, use the algorithm:
- Connect the device to the corresponding port on your personal computer.
- Launch the official application for accessing the Internet - “TeleModem”. After connecting the gadget for the first time, the utility is automatically installed on the stationary terminal.
- In the main menu, open the “Actions” section.
- Click on the USSD codes button.
- In the field that appears, enter the encoding - *201#.
- The data you are interested in will instantly appear on the display.
Disadvantages of a direct number
So, direct numbers have quite a lot of advantages, mainly for those who are doing business. But there are also several disadvantages:
- It is impossible to find out which number was called, the direct number or its federal version - this may be important for call statistics, for example.
- Subscribers will not be able to send SMS to a direct number; they must know its mobile version.
- When calling from a direct number, the subscriber will display a federal number; only the last 5-7 digits will match if these are paired numbers.
- It is not possible to connect more than one direct number to one mobile phone.
Despite these points, there is a steady demand for additional direct numbers from Beeline, Megafon and MTS.
Sets of federal and city license plates
The city number is in addition to the federal number. This means that you cannot buy only a Beeline city number - it will definitely have a federal version, and it may not coincide with the short number.
Megafon has a list of tariffs at which you can additionally connect a direct number. The subscription fee for a tariff with two numbers is more expensive.
Beeline offers a separate option - adding a 6/7-digit city number to any tariff. After connecting an additional paid service, the operator forwards from an additional number to a federal one. Redirection is free. MTS also has a service with a similar name. The operator offers to use a landline number at any tariff, and the cost of unlimited forwarding depends on the main tariff plan on the mobile number.
Despite the presence of a direct number, when making outgoing calls and sending SMS, the main federal number will be determined as the subscriber number.
To convert a city number to a federal number, just add a prefix. But to do this, you need to know which operator provided the city number in addition to the federal one.
Many people can no longer imagine their life without talking on the phone. Therefore, modern means of communication become excellent assistants.
However, rarely does anyone think about the functionality of their own phone number.

Now you know how to extend minutes on Beeline.
What are the numbers?
Regardless of the operator chosen, each number must be officially registered in the federal database.
As for the operators themselves, they are accustomed to separating two types of numbers that do not differ much from each other:
- Federal. As a rule, you first need to dial +7 , and then seven numbers that make up a certain combination.
- Urban. Previously, it was common to consider a landline number to be a telephone installed at home. Today the situation has changed dramatically. These are numbers provided by IP telephony for legal entities (private small companies or holdings).
A city number, unlike the first type, has the following combination: 8 – city prefix – phone number. As a rule, there are no more than seven digits in a phone number.
Typically, the length of the number depends on how popular the phone company is and how many customers are active.
What does it mean
Many users have been familiar with the concept of a city number for many years, but what a federal number is .
In fact, this is an ordinary mobile phone number that is used by almost every modern resident.
The total number of digits is always the same - 11. The number begins with +7, then three digits indicate the operator prefix, followed by the number itself.
In order to dial a federal number, you must dial it in the prescribed manner.
In this case, a completely logical question arises: how is it different from the city?
Call the call center and service number
If you have a short number installed, but need to check the federal one, contact the specialists. The company has a well-developed customer service and feedback system. Remember just three numbers - 611. You may need them more than once. After a successful connection, the answering machine will answer you and provide you with a voice menu. Switch the device to tone dialing mode, listen to voice messages and select the desired one by pressing a specific button on the keyboard. If you want to communicate with a live operator, stay on the line and wait until the system dictates all messages. Ask a qualified specialist to dictate the information you are interested in.
Difference from urban
In reality there are not many differences, but they still exist:
1 The federal number is longer than the city number. As stated earlier, it consists of eleven digits, while the second type has a maximum of 7 digits. If in mobile numbers after +7 there are prefixes of telecom operators, then in the situation with landline phones you then need to dial the area code. For example, in Moscow the area code is 495 or 499 2 Mobile operators use the number in standard mode as it is assigned during the user registration process. In the situation with a landline number, an additional fee will be charged. Some service providers offer to connect a landline phone number, but the tariff plan corresponds to the conditions of using a mobile phone. In this case, the surcharge will be much less. Modern cellular operators have long acquired the service of connecting a landline number
Speaking about which option will be optimal, it is impossible to answer unequivocally.
For many years, private individuals have been using federal numbers in most cases, so there is simply no point in purchasing a city number.
However, the situation is completely different with legal entities.
As a rule, during the process of registering an individual entrepreneur or LLC, a city number is registered, which will be used for negotiations with partners.
Personal Area
Each subscriber has a personal space on the provider’s official website. To enter it, you will need to register, indicating your phone number and password to protect your data. After successful authorization, the system will remember the entered data if you check the box next to the “Remember me” button. To view your number, automatically log in to the service under your account. The main menu of your personal account contains detailed information about the current account balance, the main parameters of the active tariff plan, and also on the top panel - the user’s phone number.
If you have a mobile application installed on your smartphone, the process is greatly simplified. Launch the utility; repeated authorizations do not require entering a login and password. The interface is based on a web resource. The program is freely available on many sources on the Internet. But download files only from trusted sites to avoid infecting your terminal with harmful viruses.
Why do you need a landline phone number?
Perhaps large cities can always be identified by their corresponding code.
So, for example, if you call any company, you can always find out by the prefix where the legal registration address is located.
It is also worth noting that thanks to the city code you can find out the time zone, which is extremely important for cooperation with companies located in another city or region.

In this case, some telecom operators offer to switch to the international format and provide another phone number, or attach this service to the account.
According to research, it is worth noting that calls to numbers starting with +7495 or 8800 are more frequent.
The latter format is also quite popular, since everyone understands which company is calling and on what issue.

Various service providers often offer their customers to switch to short phone numbers consisting of a maximum of 7 digits.
As for the calling function, in this case there will be no difficulty. And SMS messages can take quite a long time to arrive.

When talking with relatives or friends, using a landline phone is a completely acceptable option.
