How to send a telegram via Rostelecom by phone

Technologies are developing rapidly and we are used to communicating with friends and family using mobile communications, the Internet, and social networks. But some outdated types of communication are still in demand, and one of these is sending telegrams. Its undeniable advantage is the fact that you can send and receive a telegram not only in large cities, but also in small towns. ]Rostelecom[/anchor] provides a telegram sending service and in this article we will look at how this can be done and at what cost.

How does a telegram work and what is it?

Translated from Greek, the word telegram is a message transmitted over a long distance. Sending such messages began in the 19th century, thanks to the discovery of two inventors Pavel Schilling from Russia and Samuel Morse from the USA. This method of communication has become quite popular in most developed countries of the world. Messages received in another city were printed on a special tape, pieces of which were pasted onto thick paper. A little later, the text of the message began to be immediately printed on plain paper, and the messages began to be called teletypes.

With the advent of mobile communications and the active development of the Internet, such a service has become almost unclaimed in Russia. Only Rostelecom still provides this unique service, although it is mostly used by various departments and large organizations.

Previously, to send a telegram, a person had to go to a communication center, now Rostelecom offers to send messages by phone.

Why are telegrams needed today?

The speed of information exchange in the 21st century is simply dizzying. But delivery time is not always considered the main property for the data we send. Often, legal confirmation is required that information has been transferred from one person or organization to another. And here the good old and still reliable telegrams come to the rescue. In addition to legal force, these short messages also have the ability to maintain confidentiality.

What types of telegrams are there?

Rostelecom offers several types of telegrams to choose from. They differ in design and cost:

On art form. A beautiful card with printed words is delivered to the recipient. More often used for congratulations;
On a music sheet. Here we are also talking about a postcard in which a microcircuit is mounted. When you open the card, music starts playing;
With delivery notification. After receiving such a telegram, the sender receives a notification indicating when the message was delivered;
With delivery within the period specified by the sender. Delivery of such a telegram may be delayed until a certain time.

When ordering a telegram, the cost of such services is included in the total home telephone bill. Submitting a telegram by telephone will not be more expensive than submitting a telegram in person to the telecommunications department. The number of words used is counted. Moreover, each of them will cost the sender 2 rubles 33 kopecks, regardless of the length.

If we are talking about urgent delivery, then the cost of each of the words sent increases by about one and a half times. The type of form, artistic or musical, is paid separately. In addition, a separate fee for notification of delivery will be charged. Additionally, on top of the cost of the telegram, a standard telegraph fee is paid - up to 40 rubles.

The sender needs to know that if you send a telegram through Rostelecom, the information about the shipment will be stored in the system for 8 months.

How to track a telegram

Today, many are accustomed to the fact that a parcel or other item can be tracked via the Internet using a number or other data. It will not be possible to control the movement of a Rostelecom telegram via the Internet. The company does not provide such an option. When sending a text message, the company does not assign a track to it, so control is not available in the usual way.

But this is not necessary. Despite the fact that Rostelecom telegram tracking by number is not provided, you can always dial the operator and ask about the fate of the text “parcel”. Situations cannot be excluded when some kind of failure occurred in the system or there is a human factor.

To be on the safe side, it is better to send a telegram to Rostelecom with acknowledgment of delivery. In this case, you won’t have to worry whether the package is delivered to the person or not.

How to send a telegram via Rostelecom

Rostelecom clients can send telegrams not only within our country, but also abroad. Telegraph communication is available in almost all countries, so there will be no problems with message delivery. There are three ways to send messages of this type through Rostelecom:

By phone by dialing the short number 8-126;
Through the post office;
Through the nearest telecommunications office of the company;

Which of these sending methods to choose is determined by the subscriber himself. But the most practical is the first method, which allows you to send messages without leaving your home.

By phone

This method is convenient because a person does not have to spend a lot of time sending a telegram. You can do this without leaving your home. Sending is possible both from a home landline phone and from an organization’s phone. The caller is required to strictly follow the operator's instructions.

You can send a telegram via Rostelecom at any time, you just need to indicate the category of the message and its type. The recipient's address, the text of the message and, if desired, a signature are required.

Do not forget that to send short messages of this type using Rostelecom, you can only use landline phones. To do this, dial the short number 06 from your home phone. But if the subscriber wants to send an urgent shipment, he can call the mobile phone 8 800 505 06 06.

When sending international telegrams, the text of the message should be written in one of the approved languages. But at the same time, you need to remember that all words are written only using characters of the Latin alphabet.

When sending a telegram via telephone, the operator offers the use of a number of additional features. So the subscriber has access to:

Sending an officially certified copy to the sender of the message;
Clarification of the sender's postal address in accordance with the database;
Notification about the timing of delivery of the message to the addressee.

To contact the operator’s delivery service or get additional information, you should call the short number 076 or dial 6. By calling the last number you can send a telegram on credit, paying for the service later.

Through the Internet

Active Internet users often wonder whether it is possible to send a telegram to Rostelecom via the World Wide Web. This shipping method is not provided. But you can send a message of this type using the services of Qwerty, Glavtelegraph and Napishi.ru.

Telegram by telephone

It is worth noting that in any case the telegraph line will be involved, even if you order the shipment through your phone.

The service package includes:

Receiving a text message from a Rostelecom client.
Sending to the desired recipient.
Processing at the final point of telegram reception.
Physical delivery by postal employees.

In any case, one or another communication line will be involved, so you can quickly notify your friend or relative from near or far abroad, another city or country. In addition, telephone telegrams sent as documents can be recognized as legally significant, and they can be used to substantiate your point of view.

Note! You can send a message both as a long-distance and international message.

In addition to the main type of delivery service, you can use a range of additional services:

Receive a certified copy of the message you sent.
Notification of delivery and receipt by the addressee, including in writing.
Specify the recipient's postal address based on available information.
Secondary receipt of a copy of the sent telegram.
With written notification to the client of delivery.

The Rostelecom company also offers delivery using a credit payment scheme, if you request the service by calling 076 or 8-800-3001-076. That is, you can first send a message, and only then pay the cost of the service.

There is no need to come to the post office, no need to wait for your turn - Rostelecom will do everything itself, and the cost of sending does not exceed reasonable limits, and is affordable even for low-income people. The recipient can receive timely congratulations on a colorful letterhead, or even with musical accompaniment in the form of a popular song motif, on a pre-agreed date and time, it all depends only on the client’s wishes.

With all this, you can send a telegram by phone at any time - late at night or early in the morning. Employees accept messages 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Shipping cost

The cost of sending a telegram in Moscow and the surrounding area is 2.33 rubles per word. If the shipment is urgent, the cost increases approximately 1.5 times. In other regions of Russia, the price of services is slightly different. Thus, in the Volgograd region, the cost of sending such a message is 2.9 rubles per word. When sending an urgent message, the cost increases and is already 4.5 rubles per word. In addition, you will have to pay a telegraph fee, which does not depend on the number of words and can reach up to 40 rubles.

If you need a telegram with notification of delivery, you will have to pay an additional 120 rubles. If you need to issue a message on artistic or musical letterhead, you will have to add another 20 to 80 rubles. The cost of the service is quite reasonable, so it won’t hurt your pocket.

Types of telegrams

You can choose the type of message yourself, and the cost of the service will be included in your total phone bill:

To notify a subscriber urgently, you can use the Urgent message type.
Telegrams of the Lux or Lux-M type are suitable for Congratulations. In this case, a telegram will be presented on artistic letterhead or with a musical attachment.
International shipments are sent with text in Latin, or any other language that is usually used in the country where the message is delivered.

Telegram tracking

It is impossible to track Rostelecom telegrams, like parcels sent by Russian Post. Parcels are tracked using an individual number, which is assigned when completing documents, but short messages do not have such tracks.

If the message does not reach the addressee within the specified period, then only a Rostelecom employee can determine at what stage it is. But cases of delivery delays are very rare, since the delivery period itself is very short.

You also need to know that the fact of receipt is always documented. After receiving the message in hand, the addressee signs the documents. If necessary, you can always check whether the telegram was delivered to the specified address.

Despite the many options for sending messages via the Internet, telegraph services are also often resorted to. This is due to the fact that the document will be delivered on time and there will be documentary evidence of its receipt.

Delivery terms

When you fill out a request, tell the company employee what the category of the message is: ordinary or urgent.
Sending a telegram according to the standard program is designed for 12 hours of delivery. Urgent messages are delivered within four.

But the company is not always able to deliver within this time. In some cases, the subscriber may receive a message in two to three days. This is especially true for remote rural areas without post offices.
