The largest telecommunications operator actively monitors market trends and takes into account the needs of its own subscribers when releasing new solutions for mass use. The MTS city number service, operating in certain regions, has been launched in test mode. The function was positively assessed not only by individuals and the corporate segment. The popularity of the service increases the possibility of its implementation for permanent use and the subsequent expansion of the list of available regions.
In this material we will consider the following questions:
- what is a landline phone from MTS;
- ways to effectively use the service;
- how to activate and deactivate an additional option;
- features of the service, cost of service and other additional information.
Differences between federal and city numbers
These two types of phones have different dialing principles. The federal number is written in international format, with +7 or 8 (for landline phones). After that comes the region code, then a 7-digit number.
Direct is dialed in this form - 123-45-67, regardless of the device from which the incoming call is received. This is popular in business and commercial environments, where many telephone conversations with clients and partners are conducted from landline phones.
In addition, shorter phones are easier to remember and look more presentable.
Description and features
Subscribers who decide to choose a “City number” will also continue to use their cell phone. This means that there will be no cable running to your home or office. At the same time, calls from local phones will be free. The number itself has the following format: +7-495-789-41-52. For calls from landlines, just dial the last 7 digits. If the call will be made from another region, you must also dial the prefix.
People who use the option get the opportunity to:
- free calls to landlines;
- send SMS and use the Internet;
- use only the last 7 digits in resumes, advertisements or other places, that is, without a prefix.
Mobile Telesystems enters into a tripartite agreement with the client and Rostelecom (in Moscow with MGTS). Therefore, calls within the locality are not charged. When a client activates the option, he automatically receives 2 phones. The second is mobile.
As for the cost, it depends on the tariff plan used. On average, an additional 500 rubles are deducted from the balance of Moscow subscribers. For remote regions, the tariff is 150-300 rubles. To clarify the cost, it is recommended to contact the operator - 0890.
Tariffing for calls and messages to other regions depends on the conditions of the main tariff plan. You can clarify the details in your personal account or by contacting the call center - 8-800-250-08-90. When sending a message, the recipient will see a cell phone number, not a landline number. The same applies to outgoing calls.
What is a “MTS city number”
This is a combination that is tied to a regular mobile phone and consists of its last digits. There can be from 5 to 7. That is, they look like stationary ones.
The main advantage is free calls from landline phones, while calls to a mobile phone are charged as long-distance calls.
There are two options to reach the owner of a direct MTS phone number from a mobile phone:
- Using a stationary format. For Moscow: +7-495-123-45-67.
- In the form of a federal one: +7-985-123-45-67.
Only the codes differ, the main part is the same in both cases. If you call from a landline, only the last 7 digits are dialed. This also applies to mobile phones on the home network.
When making outgoing calls and sending SMS, the recipient's primary number (mobile number) is always displayed.
How to dial a number in federal format?
The room includes:
- 8 (or +7) is the code for accessing the federal line on the territory of the Russian Federation.
- 9ХХ – prefix of a cellular operator from a pool of prefixes allocated to the operator by the Ministry of Communications (Federal Communications Agency). ...
- XXX-XX-XX is actually a unique subscriber number in the federal format.

How to connect and disconnect
Both private and legal entities can use a city number. Activating the service using standard methods will not work. To get an analogue of the “landline” one, you need to contact a call center. After concluding the contract, the subscriber will receive a new number.
The MTS client has the right to choose a beautiful combination of numbers. The manager provides the options that are available in the salon. Legal entities have the opportunity to order the combination they are interested in. If no one is using it yet. If the operator does not have SIM cards, you will not be able to activate the function. All you have to do is wait until new SIM cards go on sale. They usually appear within a month.
Those who have previously activated the package, but want to refuse it, need to terminate the contract with the operator. To do this, just contact the nearest communication center. The manager will ask for your passport. At the same time, it is impossible to abandon the “stationary” and leave the mobile one.
Choosing an MTS city number is actually not difficult. You must contact the company office. After signing the contract, you can use the new service. This functionality is most suitable for businessmen. Of course, individuals can also use the option, but they will have to overpay for communication - 500 rubles. Therefore, before activating the functionality, we recommend that you think about whether it is needed.

Long gone are the days when you had to stand in line at call centers to make a long-distance call.
The development and implementation of new technologies in telephony makes it possible to use cheap and convenient telephone communications at any time and in all directions. With the help of Internet telephony, a technology for transmitting voice information in real time through any network using the IP (Internet Protocol), production issues are resolved instantly. Some difficulties may arise for the subscriber just by choosing a tariff plan that is beneficial to him.
High quality of communication is ensured by the digital data transmission technology used, which eliminates the occurrence of various types of interference and noise during broadcasting. Before connecting a number, future subscribers can test the quality of communication by registering on the website and making a test call.
Using MSKTEL telephony, you will see that long-distance tariffs here are much lower. To successfully conduct business with foreign partners, it is enough to purchase a subscription to unlimited calls and, as they say, do not deny yourself anything.

A new client registered in the system can configure his phone number in his personal account on the official website of MosTelecom LLC.

Service cost
Beeline highlights the fact that the use of such a service for its clients does not imply making a monthly subscription payment.
However, in fact, clients are charged an analogue of such a payment - a service fee. Its value is in the range of 90-210 rubles per month for individuals. And about 500 rubles/month for legal entities. The billing (payment) date occurs on the 20th day of the month following the month of use (postpaid system). Activating the service does not involve any costs.
We recommend watching the video “How to become a corporate client” in Beeline:
How much the service will cost the client will be influenced by the tariff used. This bears some similarities to a user choosing a data plan for their phone.
The monthly payment for the use of various tariff systems, including the provision of a short city number, is in the range of 1450-3550 rubles/month for individuals.
For legal entities, there is both a connection fee (3,000 rubles, which is included in the package price) and a subscription fee (300 rubles per month). The monthly payment for such tariffs (“Everything for telephony”) will vary between 750-3700 rubles. for Moscow.
Do not forget that postpaid tariff plans are mainly used for this type of service.
How to find out a full phone number from a short one?
Converting a city number to a federal number is a fairly simple task. This can be done by knowing the country code (+7), locality code and local subscriber ID. The total is usually 10 characters.
If we talk about non-geographic, mobile options, then the procedure is performed with certain difficulties. To find out the full phone number from a short one, you need to use special tables that are constantly updated and supplemented. Contrary to logic, many mobile operators do not publish this information on their official resources - in this case, you should contact the information support service.
For personal communication, city and federal numbers are good for a single person, but within the framework of business communication, the features of the communication link can play an important role in the overall success of the company. It is important to take this into account when choosing a room.
Which number to choose
Some difficulties usually arise here, since landline telephone numbers allocated to any mobile operator, including Tele2, are limited. In addition, the most successful, easy to remember and beautiful combinations of numbers are most often already chosen by clients who have activated the service earlier or by resellers who have realized that they can make money from this.
Before making a final decision, you should carefully study all possible options and choose the most suitable one.
It is especially important to make the right choice of Tele2 number if you plan to place it in advertising
If none of the proposed combinations work, you can buy a special beautiful number from Tele2.
They come in two types:
- “Silver” with an easy to remember number order.
- “Golden”, in which the last 3 or 4 digits are the same numbers (XX-44–44, XX–X4–44, and the like), both of them are an order of magnitude more expensive than regular numbers and are not available to every subscriber.
MTS terms
Before connecting to this service, you should familiarize yourself with several conditions:
- When making an outgoing call, as well as sending SMS, one main federal number will always be determined as the number.
- When you register a city number, it is automatically linked to the federal one and it is impossible to renounce the city number without renouncing the federal one.
- It is also not possible to block the federal one and leave the city one; refusal can only be issued for two numbers.
- If you do not have enough funds in your account for the subscription fee to be charged within 3 months, the city number format will be blocked.

Disadvantages of a direct number
So, direct numbers have quite a lot of advantages, mainly for those who are doing business. But there are also several disadvantages:
- It is impossible to find out which number was called, the direct number or its federal version - this may be important for call statistics, for example.
- Subscribers will not be able to send SMS to a direct number; they must know its mobile version.
- When calling from a direct number, the subscriber will display a federal number; only the last 5-7 digits will match if these are paired numbers.
- It is not possible to connect more than one direct number to one mobile phone.
Despite these points, there is a steady demand for additional direct numbers from Beeline, Megafon and MTS.
Why do you need city and federal numbers and in what situations are they used?
It should be noted that today, any number that is assigned to a particular subscriber is federal. However, the vast majority of modern providers, for some reason, divide phones into federal and city numbers. Of course, they still have some distinctive features; otherwise it would be unlikely that they would be distinguished from each other at all. In this case, the essence of these distinctive features will be that the federal number must always begin with the number +7, followed by a combination consisting of seven digits. As for “landline” numbers, in the conditions of our modern society, they have ceased to be used in relation to landline phones alone.
Now, any modern mobile operator can offer you this type of number for rent. By the way, in some cases, the IP telephony provider may also act as the latter. A city number can always be presented in federal format. In this case, it should begin with an eight, followed by the specific city code. The latter, you can always choose based on the services of any operator.
Recently, many modern providers provide their clients with the opportunity to acquire so-called “short” telephone numbers. If you use them, you will be able to dial numbers in six- or seven-digit format, not only from landlines, but also from mobile phones. Indeed, they are somewhat similar to ordinary “city” numbers. However, in his case, SMS messages will be sent to the full version of the number. Moreover, from you they will be displayed in a federal format that is natural for the operator.
This way, you can get a federal number that would be presented in a city format. In view of this, if you need to get an ordinary city number, then in this case, a short number will certainly not suit you.
