Once upon a time, telegrams were the only way to quickly communicate something to a person living in another city and not having a home telephone. With the development of the Internet and mobile communications, this type of information transfer turned out to be less in demand, but, nevertheless, sometimes it is necessary to resort to it. In large cities, such as St. Petersburg, there are several ways to send a telegram.
Instructions
Step 1
Post office
Contact the nearest post office (the list of addresses can be found on the website of the St. Petersburg Department of the Federal Security Service). On a special form for telegrams, indicate the exact address of the recipient, his last name, first name and patronymic. Write the text of the telegram legibly - this will help to avoid distortion of the meaning during transmission. Do not use punctuation marks, you can use standard abbreviations instead ("pt", "zpt", "excl"). Please provide a return address. If the telegram is congratulatory, mark it. You can choose a sample greeting form from the samples available at the post office and indicate its code. But there is no guarantee that the post office at the place of delivery will have forms with just such a pattern.
Step 2
Telegram by phone
You can, without leaving your home, send a telegram by phone using the Telegram on Credit service of the St. Petersburg branch of Rostelecom. To do this, dial 8-126 and dictate to the operator the recipient's address and the text of the message, indicating, if necessary, that a congratulatory form should be used. This can be done at any time of the day - the service works around the clock. You will receive your communication bill at the end of the month, along with your telephone bills.
Step 3
Telegram via the Internet
There are a large number of companies that accept telegrams via the Internet. In order to use them, type in the search engine "Telegram via the Internet" and select a company with tariffs and a payment method that suits you. As a rule, the cost of such telegrams is much higher, and you can pay for them with “electronic currency” (WebMoney, Yandex-money, etc.), transfer from a bank card account or via SMS.
