A long-distance call is a call to a landline or mobile phone to another locality in the country. In terms of cost, it differs in a big way from city calls. In this case, for mobile telephony, a call within one region is considered local. And for landline operators - calls within the settlements of one region are already long-distance calls.
It is necessary
- - the code of the desired city;
- - phone number;
- - information about the long distance operator operating in your region.
Instructions
Step 1
Specify the mode of long distance communication. In settlements where digital automatic telephone exchanges have not yet been introduced, connections are made by telephone operators. In this case, you will need to dial the number of their service and place an order by telling you the city you need, the phone number and the estimated connection time. But in most places there is automatic long distance communication.
Step 2
Remember if you changed the intercity mode. Several years ago, subscribers were given the opportunity to permanently choose a long-distance operator. To do this, it was necessary to submit an application for the transition to hot-choice. In this case, with each call, you can choose the operator that provides the best rates or the best quality in this direction. That is, when dialing a number, you need to add the digital designation of the company before the area code.
Step 3
Dial for Rostelecom - 55, and for MTT - 53 for long distance calls and 58 for international calls. In other words, in the first case, the dialing will look like this: 8 (dial tone) - 55 - settlement code - subscriber number. For "MTT" it is required to press the following buttons: 8 - 53 - telephone area code - subscriber's number.
Step 4
Pre-select, or operator preselection, simplifies the call technology. In this case, you do not need to dial additional digits, and after the 8, the area code and phone number immediately follow. Most of the subscribers called this way before the reform and continue to use this service now.
Step 5
Long distance calls from a mobile phone are practically no different from similar calls from landline phones with a preliminary choice of an operator. The only, but rather significant, difference is the tariffs. For mobile communications, they are much higher.
Step 6
Use ip-telephony to save money if you have a lot of long-distance calls. This service is provided by many private companies. They gain access to existing long distance communication channels using Internet channels. After purchasing a special card or signing a contract, you follow the proposed instructions. As a rule, you have to dial many more digits than with a regular long distance connection. It is especially effective to use IP-telephony for international communication.
