The cost of connecting a home (landline) telephone from Rostelecom

The rapid development of cellular communications has sharply reduced customer interest in connecting landline phones, making such devices irrelevant. But modern smartphones have not been able to completely destroy traditional devices. This is confirmed by the variety of Rostelecom tariffs for home telephones in 2021. On the contrary, the emergence of a powerful competitor forced operators to actively develop and offer users interesting, attractive conditions that could convince them to connect. And now connecting a city line looks no less profitable than using mobile phones.

Rostelecom tariff plans for home phones

Currently, the provider offers 7 different connection options, differing both in payment methods and in the number of services provided to the subscriber. As a result, users are able to connect the following tariffs:

1. Unlimited Russia;
2. Unlimited;
3. Combined 400;
4. Combined 100;
5. Day off;
6. Time-based;
7. Subscriber.

Moreover, each option listed has its own advantages and positive aspects. Therefore, to choose the optimal connection type, potential clients need to study each of them.

Unlimited Russia

This package fully corresponds to its name, since the operator not only eliminated restrictions on the use of communications, but also supplemented the tariff plan with an additional function that makes calls more profitable. As a result, connected people receive:

• unlimited landline calls (all over the country);
• 200 minutes of calls with mobile phone owners;
• 1.3 rub. per minute of conversation with clients of mobile operators in excess of the specified limit.

The monthly cost of these services is 520 rubles. But simultaneous use of additional services of the provider (Internet, television) reduces the price to 470.

Unlimited

The following tariffication is a simplified version of the previous one. It is extremely simple and simply involves unlimited calls to landlines. The operator did not provide any other conditions, options or additions. For the above, users will have to pay 465 rubles per month. Wherein:

1. 205 – for the provided subscriber line;
2. 260 – for the ability to make calls.

The indicated cost is significantly reduced when using a paired connection. In such situations, it turns out to be half as much (232.5). There are no discounts for using the Internet or cable TV.

Combined 400

By giving the name to the Rostelecom tariff for a home phone, its creators meant that the subscriber is provided with a predetermined package of minutes, which is harmoniously complemented by the ability to make paid calls. As a result, people who connect are offered:

• 400 min. monthly conversations;
• the cost of communication above the specified limit is 52 kopecks.

Additionally, a subscription fee of 360 rubles is regularly debited from the user account. It decreases when connecting a paired connection, so those who like to talk should think about the possibility of reducing costs in advance.

Combined 100

It is not difficult to guess that the following tariff consists of a package of calls and a favorable price for a connection above the established limits. It includes:

1. 100 minutes at the beginning of the reporting period;
2. conversations for 68 kopecks.

The main advantage of this type of connection is the reduction of the subscription fee, which is 255 rubles. This same factor is also an obvious weakness, since the benefit is a reduction in communication fees, and the price of a leased line remains unchanged and completely coincides with the prices in the three previous proposals described. That is, 205 rubles out of 255 are for the mentioned line.

Day off

Once again we have to point out the self-explanatory name, which clearly characterizes the purpose and features of the tariff plan. Connected users will have access to:

• free unlimited negotiations and unlimited communication on weekends and holidays;
• 62 kopecks for local calls on weekdays and days not listed above.

For the listed services, connected subscribers will have to pay an additional 363 rubles. The procedure for reducing the subscription fee is the same as mentioned above and requires the use of a paired line. But in this case, the discount will be noticeably lower, since only the connection will be profitable.

Time-based

The only tariff plan without a dedicated call limit also requires a monthly payment of 205 rubles. That is, it makes no sense to count on a connection without a monthly fee, but in this case you will only have to pay for the connection, and the costs of communicating with your interlocutors are calculated separately. The cost of each minute is 60 kopecks, and the total amount that will have to be deposited into your personal personal account at the end of the month depends only on the owner of the telephone. The procedure for calculating the discount remains unchanged and completely coincides with the conditions and requirements in other tariffs.

Subscriber

The latest Rostelecom tariff for a landline phone is special. It is offered to a separate category of clients who are not able to take advantage of alternative offers due to the lack of a valid system for recording the time of calls made.

To connect to the specified conditions, you will have to regularly deposit 360 rubles into your own account. For the deposited amount, subscribers receive the right to unlimited communication with interlocutors.

Additional information about tariffs can be obtained by calling the contact center 88001000800.

Application Form

When filling out an application, one of the main questions that concerns the subscriber is the price of connecting a home telephone. Fortunately, for Rostelecom it is noticeably lower than for other companies: approximately 10,000 rubles for a regular installation and about 1,300 thousand rubles for connecting legal entities.

This figure will differ in different localities, but only slightly. This amount includes in advance the cost of a standard device that will be installed in the subscriber’s home (it functions equally well when connected to the network and to a battery).

Therefore, before connecting your home phone to Rostelecom, it is recommended to immediately clarify how much this service costs. And only then, if it turns out that all the conditions offered to the user suit him, you can start submitting an application. To do this you will need to provide the following information:

• your full name;
• mobile contact number;
• passport data;
• postal address (where you need to place your phone number).

Submit your application in any convenient way (this will not affect the cost of the service provided) and connect a Rostelecom landline phone.

Important! To conclude an agreement, the subscriber will need to present a passport or other identification document.

Which package is the most profitable?

There is no single correct answer indicating the most profitable, economical and convenient connection. This is due to differences in the requirements and evaluation criteria used by each connector. That is why those wishing to use the services of a telecommunications company should not rely on other people’s advice and recommendations. It is much wiser to determine your own wishes and requirements in advance, study existing proposals and settle on the optimal solution. If necessary, the tariff can be changed after a month.

How to install equipment

Usually all applications are reviewed within three days. The master will come to the address specified in the contract. It takes him no more than 40 minutes to work. This time is enough to install a socket and configure the device’s connections to the city telephone network.

At his own expense, the client purchases a telephone set and mounting elements. Other equipment is brought by the technician and provided free of charge. This is a socket, cables and other necessary little things.

Connection

Those wishing to connect can:

1. send an application through the official website or personal account;
2. leave a request by calling the hotline number and informing the operator of your desire;
3. visit the nearest company office.

The provider did not provide a single connection cost. As a result, it is affected by:

• telephone installation of the premises;
• connection of additional services.

As a result, depending on the final conditions, the price can vary from a ruble (a room without telephones and additional activation of television and the Internet) to 499 (a room without telephones without additional options).

Printing messages

Message data is obtained using standard methods. Therefore, subscribers choose any suitable option:

1. Registration of printouts through the company office. For this you will need a passport. The company's employees will issue printouts of messages without any problems. But only on the condition that it will not be transferred to third parties.
2. Official site. Registration on the operator's website takes only a few minutes. But with its help, thousands of subscribers receive information about calls and SMS every day. After registration, you need to request a printout of SMS messages and indicate the period. But such information is provided only for the past six months. If you need information for 2-3 years, then it is provided only at the operator’s office.
3. Email. To do this, the user sends a request to the appropriate number indicating the email address. The operator sends the requested data to the specified address within 24 hours. Typically, printing of SMS messages is required to let the user know about the charges and recipients. But some are interested in the text of the messages. Such a subscriber goes to the office or requests data over the Internet. But no mobile phone provider has the right to provide the text of SMS messages. Even if their sender personally requested such information.

Users can access the date of sending, recipient number, cost of the text message and other data. The text of the message cannot be retrieved. Some clients turn to dubious companies. They guarantee the provision of information about the contents of messages.

Important! It is impossible to gain access to such data (and it is even illegal), so such companies engage in fraud.

If there are important SMS messages on the phone, users save them. To do this, just make a backup copy, copy the text and send it by email. Then there will be no need to request details of messages or calls.

How to switch to another package?

The transition to an alternative package that will replace the old, inconvenient conditions occurs:

1. in the user’s personal account on the corresponding page;
2. at the office of a telecommunications company at the request of the visitor;
3. during a call to support operators (in extreme cases, they will explain the detailed procedure).

It is necessary to switch in advance, since the transition will not occur immediately, but from the next reporting period, if there is a sufficient amount in the personal account for this.

Changing the tariff for MGTS landline phone through the contact center

Contact the Call Center and change your tariff plan using the following numbers:

• 8 (free from city);
• 0636 (number for calls from MTS SIM cards or MGTS mobile phones).

To change, you need to confirm your identity - tell the operator your passport details, the address where you live, and the contract number. Then name the tariff you want to switch to. The operator will perform further procedures personally.

Additional Information

In addition to the above, people connecting need to know that with a zero or negative balance, the possibility remains:

• receive incoming calls;
• call emergency numbers.

Similar conditions remain in case of voluntary blocking of communications by the subscriber.

In addition, the operator reserves the right to unilaterally make changes to current tariffs, but guarantees that information about upcoming changes will appear on the official website. Such information appears 10 days before the introduction of innovations.

SMS request

Using SMS, the subscriber learns the details of calls made from a mobile phone. Each operator has a specific SMS request that allows you to obtain such data. For example, Rostelecom subscribers send SMS to number 100 indicating their email.

The following message indicates the terms (no more than 3 years). To get call details from your home phone, you can call the operator by number. It is listed on the website.

Important! Call details will be sent to the subscriber's email so that he can save it to his computer and then print it out.

Tariffs from Rostekekom

The benefit of the choice depends on the cities in which the company’s clients live and the manner in which they use communication services. There are currently 5 options available. This:

1. "Combined".
2. "Day off".
3. "Time-based."
4. "Unlimited."
5. "Social".

By the names you can understand what the tariff plans are. Users have the opportunity to choose different combinations of using the subscriber line. Let's take a closer look at the specifics of each TP from Rostelecom for a landline telephone.
