After a person connects to the network, he receives a personal telephone number with a special federal code. Unfortunately, it is not convenient to use in all cases. The fact is that the number is too long, and the cost of calls to it made from landline phones is the same as for a long-distance connection. For many, this option is unacceptable. How to be in this case?
To ensure more convenient communication, you can purchase a landline number from this operator. This is a seven-digit combination of numbers, similar to telephone numbers common in Moscow. The advantage is free calls from city landlines. In addition, the number becomes much shorter, and therefore more convenient. For the information of mobile operator subscribers: almost every user can choose and buy an unusual number, gold. Such numbers are not only beautiful, thanks to the digital sequence, but also very easy to remember, and they are also easy to recognize.
What is the difference between a city number and a federal number?
A federal number differs from a city number in that it is dialed in full international format, starting with +7. Next comes the area code (911, etc.), and then the seven-digit phone number itself. From landline phones, dialing will be slightly different - we dial “eight”, the region code and the number of the called subscriber.
As for the city number, it can be dialed from landline and local mobile numbers in direct format - 123-45-67. This is very convenient for business people doing business. Direct numbers are shorter, so they are better perceived from advertising materials - shorter sequences of numbers are remembered much better and look more solid.
The direct city number in the MTS network has a federal duplicate. That is, knowing the direct number of a particular subscriber, we can call him on a federal number. Thanks to a special tripartite agreement, MTS provides its subscribers with 2 numbers at once:
- Federal number in the format +7-985-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ;
- Direct city number in the format +7-495-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
In the example presented, the last 7 digits of both numbers are the same, only the codes are different. If we call a direct landline number from a landline phone, then we dial only the last 7 digits. The same applies to calls from local mobile numbers.
Connection kits with city numbers can be purchased at all MTS communication stores. But you need to remember that the subscription fee for a direct number is 500 rubles higher than for a federal number . Direct landline numbers are available on “Smart” tariff plans and on some other tariffs. For example, if the subscription fee for the “Smart-mini” tariff with a federal number is 400 rubles, then for the tariff with a city number its amount will be 900 rubles.
The subscription fee for tariffs with city numbers is charged as follows:
- The amount is 304.80 rubles. written off in equal installments monthly;
- The remainder of the full subscription fee on the selected tariff is debited once a month.
Let’s give an example: the monthly fee for the “Smart” tariff is 1000 rubles. Of these, 304.80 rubles. written off in equal installments every day. The balance of the amount, which is 695.20 rubles, is written off once a month. This feature is associated with the cost of allocating a direct landline number, included in the subscription fee for the selected tariff plan.
What does a federal telephone number (FN) mean?
In our country, a telephone number that consists of 11 elements is considered federal. At the same time, the number has a +7 prefix with the operator code. For example, 904. After this comes a seven-digit telephone number. This number was called “Federal”, since subscribers can call this number from anywhere in the world.
The main advantage of such a number is that when a person uses it, he will definitely be able to reach him (accordingly, if the subscriber is calling from the access zone).
The main disadvantage of this number can be considered its large length. For this reason, such numbers are more difficult to remember.
FN is mostly free for a subscriber of a certain network, with the exception of a beautiful number that can be ordered when you sign up for services from an operator. But, for the most part, such a service is one-time. Having received such a number, a person will most likely use it in the future without paying for the number (not to be confused with money on the account).
How to choose the right MTS city number
We already know what federal and city MTS numbers are. Now all that remains is to figure out how to choose a landline number? When you contact an MTS service center, tell the consultant about your intention to purchase a direct landline number. He will offer you several options to choose from, among which you can choose a beautiful number, the easiest and most memorable.
By choosing a direct city number, you will receive a SIM card that will have two numbers at once - a federal number with the code +7-985 and a direct number with the Moscow code +7-495. The last 7 digits of both numbers will be the same.

Today, the quality of communication services is at a fairly high level. Now, in order to contact the desired subscriber, you will need to take your own device out of your pocket and dial the desired number. This may seem very strange to some of you, but an increasing number of consumers are interested in “decorating” their own phone number.
I think each of you understands that by these words we mean such a beautiful combination of numbers that they could be remembered by you and any other subscriber dialing your number for the maximum possible period of time. The relevance of the latter is quite conditional. In particular, this state of affairs applies to all kinds of private institutions and enterprises.
For them, having a “beautiful” number is mandatory, because only in this way would they be able to find their place in the memory of those people who will later act as their potential clients. At the same time, you should understand that it is not always possible to choose any number you like, because at the present time, it is customary to distinguish between such concepts as “city” and “federal” numbers.
conclusions
The main and almost the only difference between a city number and what is now commonly called a federal number is precisely the number of digits.
. So, if the federal number received its name for the simple reason that it begins with the federal code of a certain mobile operator, then the city number begins with an eight, followed by the code of a particular city. For personal communication, it makes no difference whether you give your preference to a federal or city number. At the same time, some difference can be provided for in business communication.
Each user who decides to connect to the MTS network always receives a phone number along with a federal code. It is not convenient for every subscriber, since calls to it are calculated at the long-distance rate. In addition, this phone is very long. If you are one of those people who do not benefit from using such conditions, then it is worth understanding what a city number is and what a federal MTS number is.
Connecting a landline number – what is the price?
How much will a Cherepovets city number cost its owner? The price range depends on the complexity of the set of numbers, and also takes into account their beautiful combination. If desired, the subscriber has the opportunity to choose a number - there are more than one thousand numbers in the “range” of operators. The ease of remembering the number depends on the logic of the arrangement of numbers, therefore, the cost will be higher for such numbers.
Standard city numbers are free or very cheap (maximum 2 thousand rubles) - the subscriber pays for the virtual PBX service. Companies are advised to purchase beautiful combinations of numbers. All “beautiful” rooms are conventionally divided into a number of categories.
Bronze
This category includes numbers with a logical arrangement of numbers, for example, 123-33-23 or 907-05-55. These numbers use up to 5 different digits. The cost of bronze rooms ranges from 1-6 thousand rubles.
Silver
These memorable numbers have paired numbers (for example, 145-88-11) or “mirror” combinations - for example, 706-26-62. Such numbers are remembered faster, and they cost more, in the range of 3-7 thousand rubles.
Gold
The number has 4 identical numbers in a row. Owners of reputable companies choose numbers, for example, 134-44-41 or 705-88-88. Owners of gold numbers pay 14-15 thousand rubles for them.

From its inception to the present day, telephony remains one of the most effective and simple methods of communication. Just 15 years ago, a mobile phone was a luxury, and many only dreamed of this means of communication. Now every resident of a large city has a cell phone, it is being actively introduced into various sectors of business, and business and personal communication has become an integral part of the lives of modern people. Today, the quality of communication services is at a fairly high level and does not raise any questions - now more attention is paid to the functionality and practicality of the phone number.
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.
What is a direct number?
Direct is traditionally understood as a subscriber number presented in a “city” format. It also has a national prefix +7, but it is followed not by the operator code, but by the city code in which the subscriber signed an agreement with the cellular service provider.
In turn, after the city code, the subscriber’s personal number is indicated, the length of which is identical to that established for all landline telephone numbers of the corresponding locality. For example, in Moscow such numbers are 7-digit.
It often happens that a direct number also has a “federal” version, in which the operator code is indicated, not the city code. In this case, the last few digits of both numbers are the same. The subscriber can use any of them of his choice.
The corresponding number is called “direct” because residents of the locality in which the subscriber has signed an agreement with the cellular operator can call him without dialing the national prefix and area code - that is, directly.
The main advantage of a direct number is that it is relatively shorter than a federal number and is therefore better remembered. In turn, its minor drawback is the inability to reach a subscriber by dialing only his personal number if you make a call from outside the locality.
However, if the caller knows in which city the called person lives, then he can easily determine the numbers needed to make a call - in the form of an area code, which will be the same for all direct numbers of the corresponding locality.
Subscribers of modern Russian cellular operators usually use direct numbers for an additional fee. This is usually a monthly subscription fee.
