Possible problems
Subscribers often encounter a problem when the card is not registered on the network, leaving its owner without communication.

In such a situation, you should go to the settings of your phone and manually select the network through which incoming and outgoing calls will be made.
If after this the problem is not resolved, try turning your phone off and on for the changes to take effect.

Calls to Kazakhstan via IP telephony
IP telephony allows you to dramatically reduce the cost of voice communications with Kazakhstan. For its operation, it is not telephone lines or channels of cellular operators that are used, but Internet channels. As a result, calls are very, very cheap, but the cost depends on the direction.
As an example, let's try to figure out how to use IP telephony for calls to Kazakhstan. To do this, we will use the services of the operator Zadarma. This is one of the well-known IP telephony operators in Russia with low prices. What should be done:
- Register an account.
- Top up your account.
- Download the application to make calls.
- Set up the application and call Kazakhstan.
First, let's look at the pricing. It is really low, the cost depends on the direction and operator to which the called subscriber is connected. For example, a call to Astana (the capital of Kazakhstan since 1998) on the Economy tariff will cost 2.08 rubles per minute - this is quite cheap. Calls to mobile phones are more expensive.
Account registration
The registration procedure is simple - follow the link, indicate your email address and your name, and set a password.
Next, go to your mailbox and confirm account registration. We log into your account and enter a phone number in it - this is necessary to receive a bonus of 20 rubles (enough for almost 10 minutes of conversation with Kazakhstan).
The entrance to your personal account is located on the main page - enter your email address and password, go inside. Now we add a mobile phone number, confirm our intentions with an SMS code and top up our account. You can top up your account in a variety of ways:
- Bank card.
- Electronic money.
- Through terminals.
- Through Sberbank Online.
It is also possible to top up by bank transfer using full details.
Setting up the application
Now you need to download the proprietary Zadarma application - it is available for Windows, Android and iOS. They are configured in exactly the same way, using SIP and a password - get them on this page.
We take the login (aka SIP) and password from here and write them in the application.
Next, we launch the application (in our example, this is an application for Windows), enter the login and password received in accordance with the above instructions, and wait for login. Now you can start making calls by dialing the number of the person you are calling - do not forget to connect a headset or microphone with headphones to the computer. You don’t have to connect anything to the laptop, since it has built-in speakers and a microphone. We set up applications for Android and iOS in the same way - you only need a login and password, no complications.
Please note that the login and password for your account are not involved in setting up applications - if you use them, the server will return an error.
We call directly from the site
There is an option to do without any applications at all, because Zadarma allows you to call directly from the website - just go to this page. A simple “dialer” with a keyboard will open, you can dial a number and call Kazakhstan. There is also a phone book for saving numbers.
Optimal
BO optimal – package plan with an increased number of minutes. Let's study the indicators for it:
- Subscription fee – 200/250 rubles per month.
- Issued 140 minutes in Russia.
- If you exceed this volume, the cost will be 1.9 rubles.
A 140-minute package is enough for most subscribers. BO optimal is one of the best long-distance tariffs from Rostelecom, which is in demand among customers.
