Roaming Tele2

To communicate abroad, the client gets the opportunity to save on calls. This is the cheapest mobile provider in this regard. For 15 rubles per minute, the subscriber receives all incoming, outgoing to numbers in Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as outgoing to Europe and the CIS. Communication with the following countries will cost a little more:

• South and North America – 65 rubles;
• Asia, Africa and Australia – 35 rubles.

If you want to receive “Conversations without borders”, then hurry up to connect to the appropriate package with a subscriber fee of 5 rubles per day. According to the terms of the package, the cost of outgoing calls does not change, but incoming calls will cost less - only 5 rubles per minute.

For lovers of SMS roaming, Kazakhstan offers - all incoming ones are unlimited, and outgoing ones are 6 rubles apiece.

If you want to spend time on the Internet, connect to unlimited for a day for only 350 rubles with daily payment. By the way, if you have a Premium tariff, you can check that this service is already activated by default.

IP telephony is the cheapest way

Even taking into account the 50% discount with the “Simple Geography” option, the cost of calls to Tele2 remains high. But classical cellular communication is IP-telephony, which has long existed in Russia. It is represented by several providers cooperating with individuals. In parallel with them, there are dozens of companies working with corporate clients. We are interested in services for individuals - let’s move on to them.

One of the leading operators providing low prices for calls to Kazakhstan is Zadarma. There are two tariff plans available for customers to choose from:

• “Economy” – no monthly fee, per minute billing, no connection fee. Calls to mobile numbers of Kazakhstani operators Kartel and Kcell cost 4.68 rubles/min, to numbers of other mobile operators – 9.88 rubles/min, to landline numbers of Kazakhstan – only 2.08 rubles/min;
• “Standard” – no monthly fee, per second billing from the first second of a conversation, no connection fee. Calls to Kartel and Kcell mobile numbers cost 5.85 rubles/min, to numbers of other mobile operators – 12.35 rubles/min, to Kazakhstan landline numbers – only 2.6 rubles/min.

The cheapest way to call Kazakhstan is to landline numbers.

Connection and first call

Connecting to Zadarma is easier than connecting to Tele2 - no contracts or SIM cards are needed. Communication is carried out via the Internet, including mobile. Equipment you need is a computer with a headset and headphones. You can also make calls from a mobile phone by installing a softphone on it.

Connection instructions:

• Fill out the form on the registration page, indicating your email address, name and password to log into your personal account;
• Confirm your registration using the link sent in a letter to the specified email address;
• Log in to your account using your email and password, add your mobile phone number and receive a bonus of 20 rubles.

Everything is ready - you can start making calls. Connect a headset to your computer (a microphone with headphones or speakers will do), open your personal account, go to the “Services – Call from website” menu. Dial the number of the Kazakhstani interlocutor on the virtual keyboard. A bonus of 20 rubles is enough for a test call, after which you need to top up your account with a bank card, through Sberbank Online, a payment terminal or electronic wallets.

Feedback from our reader

My company required IP telephony that would meet a number of requirements: the presence of a PBX, the ability to use numbers from different regions, reasonable prices and the ability to quickly resolve issues. I chose from several providers on the market, and finally settled on Zadarma, it meets all our requirements. Read more >>>

Kazakhstan direct number

There is another way to make communication cheaper - just buy a virtual Kazakhstan number and connect it to your Zadarma account. Kazakh interlocutors will call a Kazakh number at domestic rates, and you will be able to receive them anywhere in Russia right at home.

The cost of a Kazakhstani number is only 190 rubles/month. Zadarm's arsenal includes license plates from Aktau, Aktobe, Almaty, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Uralsk, Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana), Shymkent, Ust-Kamenogorsk and other Kazakh cities. To purchase a number, go to your personal account in the “Virtual Numbers” section, enter the name of the country, select the city and click the “Buy” link.

Next, select one of the numbers to choose from. Provide your personal information and upload scans of your passport - this is a prerequisite for purchasing a number. Connecting a Kazakhstani number will take no more than one working day - Zadarma employees will check the uploaded documents and connect the previously booked number. Tell the number to your interlocutors in Kazakhstan and receive calls on a switched-on computer or in an application.

Call app

To receive calls, we recommend using the Zadarma application for Windows. Install it on your computer, enter the SIP ID and password, wait for connection to the server, connect the headphones, make and receive calls. To obtain a SIP ID and password, go to your personal account, open the “Settings – SIP Connection” menu. Copy the SIP ID and set the desired password according to the instructions in the screenshot.

It is very convenient to receive calls on your mobile phone - you do not need to keep your computer turned on. Install the proprietary Zadarma application for Android or iOS, launch it and specify the SIP ID and password. Now you can make calls directly from your smartphone and receive incoming calls on it even when the computer is turned off.

Please note that the application from Zadarma can even work via the mobile Internet, consuming a minimal amount of traffic. With it you can call Kazakhstan from anywhere where there is access to mobile Internet.

Other operators

In addition to Zadarm, other operators also operate in Russia. These are Telphin, Sipnet, YouMagic and some others. They are also ready to offer favorable prices for calls to Kazakhstan. When choosing another operator, focus on tariff plans, the possible presence of a subscription fee and the quality of communication - some operators lure with lower prices, providing not the highest quality of voice transmission. We recommend using the services of Zadarma - the operator will offer 20 rubles for communication testing and the cheapest virtual numbers in Kazakhstan.
