When connecting to the MTS network, each subscriber is issued an individual telephone number with a federal code. But this number is not always convenient - it is very long, and calls to it from landline phones are charged as long-distance calls with appropriate tariffs. For business people this may not be acceptable. What to do?
To make communication more convenient, you can buy a landline number on MTS. It is a seven-digit sequence of numbers, similar to standard Moscow telephone numbers. And its essence is that calls to it from landline city phones are free . And the number itself becomes shorter and more convenient. Let us remind you that MTS subscribers have the opportunity to choose and buy a gold MTS number with a beautiful sequence of numbers, which is quickly remembered and easily recognized.
What is the difference
In short, the difference between federal and city numbers is in their format. The first one starts with +7, followed by a specific region code (for example, 910), and then a combination of seven digits. To summarize, it turns out that the phone needs to be dialed in full international format. If you need to call from landline devices, then instead of +7 you need to dial 8, and then follow the standard: region code and a seven-digit number.
If you have chosen a landline number among MTS numbers, then you need to dial it from local mobile phones or landlines in seven-digit format. This option is more suitable for those people who are engaged in their own business. A shorter combination will be easier for potential clients to remember.
Each direct landline telephone has its federal duplicate. This only works within the network. The company provides each subscriber with two numbers at once under the terms of a tripartite agreement. That is, it turns out that if you know the direct landline phone number of a user, then you automatically know his federal duplicate.
Any MTS communication store offers its users to purchase a connection kit with a landline number. But it is worth noting that the subscription fee payments in this case will be 500 rubles more than with its federal duplicate.
“Smart” and other tariff plans provide access to a landline phone. For example, if the monthly fee for a tariff with a federal combination is 200 rubles, then with a city one it will be 700 rubles.
To choose, you need to contact specialists at the service salon. Then you should tell them what you want to purchase and for what purpose. The consultant will offer you all kinds of options, and you yourself can choose the one that you like. This may be the most memorable, easiest or beautiful combination of numbers. After your determination, you will be given a SIM card that will have a correspondence between two combinations (only the beginning is different, but the seven-digit end is the same).
If suddenly you don’t like something about using a federal and city number at the same time, then you will be wondering if it is possible to disable it. It is worth noting that this is not provided in the MTS network, so you will simply have to change your federal phone. If something becomes unclear to you, it is better to clarify your questions with the operator, or read the detailed information on the official website.
The MTS operator never ceases to develop new options and convenient offers for its subscribers. This time the company offers customers to use an MTS city number instead of the federal version. By activating this service, they will be able to make free calls to landlines.

Description and capabilities of the function
The main thing that attracts the operator’s clients is the possibility of receiving the so-called direct MTS combination. This type of telephone sequence consists of only 7 digits. This means that subscribers calling your mobile phone will be able to dial numbers without necessarily specifying the operator code and region code.
The service is that all incoming calls are forwarded free of charge to your federal MTS number. It will be possible to reach the subscriber either in the full version, consisting of 11 digits, or in a shortened format.
If someone intends to contact you from another subject of Russia, then he will need to enter the full type of landline number on his device, that is, with the region prefix dialed.
Connecting this function will be beneficial for those who often call landlines. As a rule, this is necessary to communicate with various organizations, enterprises, firms, entrepreneurs and other legal entities. That is, the urban number format is more often used for work purposes.
The specific cost of activating the service and mandatory payments for it by the operator have not been established. The subscription fee depends solely on the tariff plan used by the subscriber.
How to call from a cell phone to a landline number in another city
When there is a need to call from a mobile device to a home phone using long-distance communication services, you should use the combination presented above. But first you need to find out the city identifier of your interlocutor. Such information is posted in address directories or on special portals on the Internet.
Below are the identifiers of the most popular destinations.
Region | Code | Region | Code | Region | Code |
Moscow, Moscow time region | 495 | Omsk | 381 | Voronezh | 473 |
St. Petersburg and region | 812 | Chelyabinsk | 351 | Saratov | 845 |
Novosibirsk | 383 | Rostov-on-Don | 863 | Tolyatti | 848 |
Ekaterinburg | 343 | Ufa | 347 | Krasnodar | 861 |
Nizhny Novgorod | 831 | Permian | 342 | Izhevsk | 341 |
Samara | 846 | Volgograd | 844 | Yaroslavl | 485 |
Kazan | 843 | Krasnoyarsk | 391 | Ryazan | 491 |
In addition to the code of the main region, its administrative units in the digital “address” may contain several additional numbers that define the locality. Therefore, having decided to contact a subscriber of a regular PBX, you need to clarify the code of his place of residence.
Before calling a landline, as in the previous case, the owner of a cell phone must find out the cost of such calls. Tariffing is set differently, the operator takes into account the following factors.
The location of the mobile subscriber is determined at the place where the SIM card is issued. In this case, he can call a landline to another city multiple times, and the payment will be charged as for regular international calls. The cost per unit is 1 minute, which is often similar for both mobile and home calls.
The difference between direct format
The main difference between these two combinations is the number of phone numbers. For the federal format, it is common to create 11 digits, for example, 8-983-458-96-85. Then your abbreviated city number will contain only the last 7 digits, that is, 458-96-85. If you are involved in marketing or advertising, then it makes sense for you to choose the MTS elite combination as a shortcut. Such combinations contain repeating/consecutive numbers. If such numbers are placed on banners or flyers, potential customers will be able to easily remember them.
How to enable and disable forwarding
To select the direct telephone activation service, you need to contact the operator’s communication salon. To carry out such operations, it is necessary to identify the subscriber. To confirm his identity, the client is required to provide passport data and, if necessary, give a code word.
You cannot activate the function using your personal account, SMS service or ussd portal.
Connection is carried out only by concluding an agreement for the provision of communication services or by replacing the full format with a shortened version. The function is activated only if the mobile communications company sells suitable numbers that match the arrangement of the numbers of your federal version.
It is not possible to refuse a short combination separately. It can either be replaced with a federal number, or both options can be deactivated.
A landline number from MTS is a useful find for those who often call landlines or place their numbers for advertising in various media. The direct option will allow your family and friends to quickly remember your phone number and call it without dialing prefixes and codes.
When a user connects to a mobile operator, along with a new SIM card, he receives an 11-digit individual number, from which and to which he will subsequently receive calls, make outgoing calls, and also use other capabilities of modern means of communication.
Users often have a question: what does a federal and city number mean for MTS or another cellular operator?
What is a Federal subscriber number? This 11-digit number is 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). Each operator has a set of dedicated prefixes, which (at least in their service region) have long been easily recognizable.
- XXX-XX-XX is actually a unique subscriber number in the federal format. Can have any combination of numbers. Operators also select so-called “Beautiful Numbers” for sale at an additional cost.
All calls made from or to such a number are essentially “long-distance”, but are charged by the operator taking into account unique sets of prefixes, which are different and unique in each individual service area. To call such a number, we must dial the full set of numbers – 11 – from any phone (both mobile and landline), regardless of its location.
Landline number
The full city number is also 11-digit. A complete set of city number (or "Geographic National Open Plan") includes:
- 8 (or +7) – code for accessing the federal line on the territory of the Russian Federation.
- XXX – region prefix (often with the addition of the locality prefix XX).
- XXX-XX-XX is actually a unique subscriber number in a city format. Can have any combination of numbers from a pool of numbers assigned to a specific geographic area by the Ministry of Communications and Communications (Federal Communications Agency).
Calls made to or from such a number within their locality require dialing only a unique number - from 5 to 7 digits depending on the region (“Geographic local open plan number”). Calls from mobile numbers, as well as calls from landline numbers in other regions of the country, require dialing the full 11-digit subscriber code.
Call from mobile to landline
I have this problem. I'm trying to call from a mobile (MTS) to a landline number. I dial just the number, and after 8 495, 499 and after 9. They say the number was dialed incorrectly. What am I doing wrong?
It depends on what number you are calling. If Moscow, the scheme is correct. If for a subscriber who, for example, is registered in Kaluga, Tambov or somewhere else, you need to dial 8-53 and then the phone number along with a three-digit code. In other words, 53 means intercity access
and I always just dialed the number. Moreover, he himself somehow correctly determined that this number was in this city, and not in another (in other cities, city numbers seem to be repeated)

Usage differences
How does using a Federal number differ from using a City number?
- Calls to landline numbers within your region do not require payment.
- Calls to landline numbers within your region do not require dialing region prefixes.
- Calls from all regions of Russia require dialing a regional prefix, which was previously strictly tied to a specific region.
The difference in the set of numbers has only a psychological meaning and is in no way an indicator of “solidity”, “location” or anything else. There are, of course, differences: calls made within your “geographic pool of local numbers” become more convenient due to the shorter digital number combination.
How to call an MTS operator from a landline phone
We are all users of mobile communications, and it is presented to us all in the same way.
But not every one of us can understand the various functions and options that various mobile operators keep adding and adding.
Most likely, young people have already dealt with the problems, while older people or people who do not understand anything in this area are just opening the box of a new phone and starting to get to know it. If you are just such a person, then this article is for you.
Probably everyone has encountered the problem of short numbers, because there are so many of them, and we cannot remember the purpose of each of them.
And today we will tell you how to solve the problem if you have forgotten a short number or simply cannot use your mobile phone, but you urgently need to call the MTS operator on a landline number .
We suggest you call via home or landline phone. These are two simple numbers that you can write down somewhere or just remember, and the most important thing is that you can call these numbers from all over Russia.
Each of these numbers is suitable for an MTS user. Below we present brief descriptions of these numbers, where we will describe their advantages and disadvantages.
Please do not confuse these two numbers, the first one is valid only in Moscow and the Moscow region, and you can only call it from a home or landline phone.
There is one thing. Before connecting to the line with the operator , you need to listen to a short message from the autoinformer. Please be careful and make contact with the operator, otherwise your problem will be much more difficult to solve.
After you are provided with an answer to your question, you will have the opportunity to evaluate the work of the MTS operator; to do this, you need to stay in touch and answer a few questions.
We sincerely hope that this small but informative article helped you with your problem, and we are pleased to think that we have solved one question out of many that all people have.
How does this happen?
So how do subscribers using mobile devices receive “City numbers” if there is a strict geographical binding of number combinations?
The fact is that when you purchase a new SIM card with a “City number” or connect it, you get two numbers linked to each other, duplicating the last 4 – 7 unique digits (local number depending on the region). These numbers are the correspondence between city and federal MTS numbers. That is, knowing the subscriber’s federal mobile number, we will be able to call him in the “City Number” format. But it’s difficult to tell how to find out a federal mobile number, knowing the city number. There are a lot of prefixes of different mobile operators in the same region.
There is mutual constant call forwarding between your numbers. By providing , your mobile operator enters into a special tripartite agreement with the local fixed-line operator (MGTS in Moscow, Rostelecom mainly in the Russian Federation).
Connecting to your current federal number is not always possible - it all depends on whether the operators have the opportunity to provide a duplicate landline number.
How the service works
Let's start our review by telling you how a direct number differs from a federal number. The direct number has the usual numbering with the city code to which it is linked. Connecting a direct and federal number for a company allows you to indicate in your contacts not only a mobile number, but also a landline number, and they will differ only in the code.
The convenience for customers is that calls will be free from any landline number within the city, and when using package tariffs, calls will use a package of minutes if they are included in the price.
For a company, using a mobile direct number allows you not to miss a single call. Calls to such a landline number are sent to your cell phone, and you can answer them even while in another country.
All federal operators offer to connect a direct city number to your mobile phone. In this case, it is conditionally “virtual”, since the user does not have a landline telephone at his disposal in the usual sense.
The service is provided using forwarding set to a regular federal number, to which a landline number is linked. In principle, everyone can independently set up such forwarding from their city, but there are several nuances.
Among the main advantages of using a city number from mobile operators is the correspondence between direct and federal numbers, as well as free forwarding.
If the first advantage is ease of use and the image component for business, then the second is real savings. Not every operator provides call forwarding at the basic rate of a call to a mobile phone, and even at such a cost, it’s not a cheap pleasure.
Regarding matching, completely matching numbers are offered only for a new connection. This is due to the fact that each operator has a specific number resource that allows them to connect completely identical numbers to clients.
Finding a landline and mobile number that completely matches is difficult. Therefore, if a client decides to refuse to use a direct number connected with a cell phone, then the federal number is not retained for him, but is replaced with another, or additional one.
You can find out a federal number directly when receiving a call from it, regardless of the operator - MTS, Beeline, Tele2, or MegaFon. When making an outgoing call from a mobile phone or sending messages, a federal number is determined. Even if they match, the operator code will be displayed instead of the city code.
How much does it cost to use a landline number?
The cost depends on the region and operator. At MTS, the price for using the service is usually about 500 rubles per month, and regional users will pay on average from 120 to 350 rubles per month. Whether the differences in the combination of numbers are so important for you to use your number is up to you to decide.
When connecting to the MTS network, each subscriber is issued an individual telephone number with a federal code. But this number is not always convenient - it is very long, and calls to it from landline phones are charged as long-distance calls with appropriate tariffs. For business people this may not be acceptable. What to do?
To make communication more convenient, you can buy a landline number on MTS. It is a seven-digit sequence of numbers, similar to standard Moscow telephone numbers. And its essence is that calls to it from landline city phones are free
. And the number itself becomes shorter and more convenient. Let us remind you that MTS subscribers have the opportunity to choose and buy a gold MTS number with a beautiful sequence of numbers, which is quickly remembered and easily recognized.
conclusions
When you connect an additional direct number to your cell phone, you can connect a beautiful number from any operator. This will allow you to use it more effectively in advertising your company. Among the shortcomings is the lack of correspondence between numbers.
If it is important to have completely matching numbers in all seven digits, then you need to connect a new pair of numbers. An existing cell phone can be transferred to a new federal number, or left as a second number that does not have a connection with a number in the city numbering.
Choosing a beautiful city number from an operator is less profitable than from dealers. The rooms are strictly divided into categories, and their prices depend on them. With operator partners, each number has its own price, and you can choose a number with significant savings not only on the purchase of the number, but also on its use, thanks to special tariff plans.
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.
MTS - tariffs and connection
Most modern people use a mobile phone to communicate, but when it comes to work matters, it is much more convenient to have a landline number at hand. In addition, a large percentage of the population is still comfortable using landline phones at home and at work and communicating with loved ones and colleagues in the usual way. For them, there is the MTS “city number” function.
What is an MTS landline number?
The MTS city number service allows you to create a new number by duplicating the seven-digit part of the main one and has many advantages, including:
If you call from a home phone, the subscriber needs to dial 7 digits of the number in the format 222-22-22. If the call is made from a mobile phone, the area code must be added to the main numbers in accordance with international standards. SMS messages to the city version are not delivered - they will only be received if they were sent to the main number.
Tariffs for MTS landline number
- The cost of connecting the function and the amount of the monthly subscription fee are determined by the terms of your tariff plan.
- Calls to this type of number from landline phones will be free of charge.
You can find out more about the prices for the service by calling the toll-free hotline number 0890 or 8 800 250 0890.
Payment for a landline number per month MTS
A subscriber of any tariff plan for individuals has the opportunity to connect an MTS city number, but the difference in the monthly subscription fee will be 500 rubles more than the standard one. In this case, the amount of payment for federal and city numbers is made separately - part of the amount for paying for the tariff plan is charged once a month, the part for providing an additional option is divided into equal shares and debited daily.
How to choose a MTS landline number
You can leave your second number unchanged - it will coincide with the main one, or you can choose a different combination of numbers, make it easy to remember and beautiful. The first option is convenient for a business person - the second phone number will be easy to remember and call a new acquaintance; this option is also convenient for placement on advertisements and business cards. To decorate a beautiful room, go to the MTS salon and consult with a specialist. There are platinum and gold options - they have a separate cost, which can reach up to 1,500 rubles for gold and 5,000 rubles for platinum. Please note that you can only buy any combination of numbers if it is free and no one else has issued it.

How to disable a landline number on MTS

At the same time, the cellular communication company provides additional opportunities through which costs are significantly reduced. To do this, you need to consider the main ways to use this option, the order of activation, and review the main features that a direct MTS number has.
How to call from MTS to another city to a landline phone
Long-distance and international telephone services provided by MTS PJSC
In the pre-selection mode of MTS PJSC as a long-distance operator, dial:
- submit a joint application at one of the sales and service offices of PJSC MGTS;
- if subscribers use access to long-distance and international communication services on the basis of preliminary selection of another operator, pay PJSC MGTS for services to change the category of subscriber equipment.
Subscribers who have entered into an agreement with MGTS PJSC for the collective use of subscriber equipment and who want to gain access to the services provided by MTS PJSC on a pre-selection basis are required.
City number main characteristics
After a user uses a city number, it already includes a federal number, presented in the form of city numbering. When you first connect to this option, you should contact the provider’s office with your passport to confirm your identity. The address can be viewed on the official resource in the appropriate section. At the same time, there is also an interactive map on which you can view the route or select the office that will be located closest.
The peculiarity of using a city contact is that the subscriber receives a direct combination, which consists of 7 digits. This means that when making a call to the specified number, it is not necessary to indicate the code of the mobile operator itself, as well as the region of residence. In addition to this, incoming calls are forwarded completely free of charge to the federal one registered with the user. In this case, you can call to the 11-digit option, as well as using the MTS direct number indicated above.
The only exception applies to calls from outside your home region. In this case, you will have to dial the full list of landline numbers on the device you are using, which includes the prefix of a specific territory. Only in this case will a connection be made to another subscriber with whom you can talk.
This option is especially popular for those MTS customers who mainly prefer to call landline phone numbers. This, for example, applies to certain enterprises, organizations, firms or entrepreneurs. Such moments indicate that a city number is often used for work activities.
There are no specific and definitive cost characteristics for using the number. Everything will depend on the chosen tariff plan option, which the provider offers in a wide range. This means that you can select an MTS city number and all applications for it.
It is also necessary to analyze the composition of the contact, which is obtained when the option is activated:
- 8 is a special code designed to access a federal communication line in Russia. As an alternative, you can type “+7” on the device’s keyboard instead of the classic number eight.
- The next three digits are responsible for the specific region where the subscriber number was registered. So for the territory of Moscow it is represented by the type “495”. Sometimes it includes an already defined locality.
- The remaining 7 digits are a unique combination, which can consist of absolutely any sequence of numbers.
Depending on the specific region, the above unique number may include from 5 to 7 digits. Moreover, to communicate in one city, it is enough to dial only this sequence without additional codes and pluses.
Many questions arise from users who have lost a SIM card with “city” enabled on it. There is a need to resolve the issue of restoration or resort to other available methods. The very first action in this case is to block the SIM card. This will prevent the SIM card from being used by other persons, including in the wrong direction. To do this, just call 997 0702 and provide all the necessary information. Then you can contact your provider for restoration. Moreover, this action does not require any additional payment, since everything is done completely free of charge.
Similar actions can be taken if the PUK code is entered incorrectly 10 times on the SIM card. In addition to the MTS office itself, you can implement all the capabilities of the delivery service that the operator has. Only the user himself can determine which receiving option to choose. The contact will remain the same without adjustments.
MTS
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.

- Direct numbers do not require entering an additional code, which is popular in the corporate segment. It is worth noting that this is only relevant for certain service regions;
- other subscribers are also not deprived of the opportunity to call a city number from a mobile phone, while spending the same amount on calls within MTS;
- In accordance with official legislation, all city contacts must receive their federal duplicates free of charge. In fact, by activating the service, the client becomes the owner of 2 numbers at once;

- Go through authorization in the LC system;
- In the additional options section, find “City number”;
- Read the detailed description and follow further instructions;

It is recommended to first set up forwarding from the previous number.
How to disable "City number" on MTS
Considering how to disable an MTS landline number, the ability to work with a personal account is no longer available here. To do this, you will need to contact the nearest company service office or contact specialists by phone. You can either change your number to a classic mobile number, or completely terminate the service agreement. As in the previous case, inform your loved ones about the change of number in advance.
To achieve this, MTS provides a number of additional functions. If you fill out the application correctly and complete the request, the action will be completed as soon as possible.

Tariff plans for using a special city number are gradually adjusted. Today, it is still possible to use basic mobile TPs, which makes working with the service quite profitable. It is worth noting an additional surcharge to the base tariff in the form of 500 rubles. For example, if previously the payment for communication services was 200 rubles, now 700 rubles will be debited from the personal account.
Payment for “City number” per month MTS - what is it?
By studying changes in monthly payments, we can draw the following conclusions:
- additional surcharge of 500 rubles – fee for a city number;
- the cost of activating the service may vary depending on the selected number, which are divided into regular and VIP statuses;
- Calls are charged according to the basic service.
How to choose an MTS “City Number”
The choice of city contact information is made in accordance with your own preferences. At the same time, he must be free. It is recommended to choose memorable combinations that will be easy to call.
Federal number
There is probably no need to explain to anyone what federal MTS numbers are. This is a classic option, which is obtained when you issue a SIM card at the MTS office. It will always consist of 11 digits, which includes the code for accessing the federal line, the prefix of the operator on which the service takes place, as well as the contact itself. If desired, the user can receive a certain combination of numbers for an additional fee. For this purpose, the “Beautiful number” option is provided.
When making a call, it is mandatory to enter a sequence of 11 digits on the keyboard of the device you are using. Here we are talking not only about a mobile phone, but also a landline phone. This together allows us to get the answer to what a federal city number is.
Differences between federal and city numbers
Some do not understand how federal ones differ from the city ones in question. In fact, their meaning is identical - making calls, communicating, talking, and the like. But in reality there are several features that are worth paying attention to.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the number of digits. If for the federal this is an exclusively 11-digit option, in MTS direct numbers include only 7. It can even be called an elite combination, which will be very useful in the case of advertising or marketing activities. Clients will be able to remember it faster and, therefore, use it for its intended purpose. If desired, you can consider options with sequential or repeating characters. Placement on banners, posters, and advertisements makes it more likely to find potential customers for a certain type of product that is sold or provided by the company.
In addition, the main differences are that calls to landlines in your home region do not require any charge. Here you just need to enter a 7-digit combination and start communicating with a specific recipient.
Some people do not quite understand how the so-called unique sequence is obtained if everything is clearly linked by combinations of numbers to a specific region of the country. At the time of purchasing a SIM card, which already has an option, the user automatically receives two contacts linked to each other. The last digits will be duplicated in them. Their number can vary from 4 to 7. This suggests that if we have information regarding the federal telephone, we can connect to the second one.
But in the reverse variation it is problematic to do everything. This is due to the fact that even within the same territoriality there are a sufficient number of numerous prefixes from a specific cellular operator. If you have a city line, it will be almost impossible to make a call to the federal line linked to it.
It is not necessary to connect a new SIM card to use it in the specified direction. You can even activate a “city” contact for a valid federal contact. But for a specific answer, it is best to contact technical support specialists. Only they will be able to answer the question of whether it is possible to provide a landline telephone of duplicate value for use. Otherwise, only contacting the provider’s office and receiving a new SIM card with different contacts will solve this problem with direct MTS phones.
Difference from mobile
The difference between city and federal telephones is as follows:
- Prefix. In the first case - 495, and in the second - 985.
- Cost of calls from landlines. For cell phones it is calculated as intercity, for landlines it is free.
- The number of digits in the number. In the first case – 10, in the second – 7.
It should be taken into account that payment for using a landline phone is charged once a month, that is, it is not possible to pay for services daily in equal installments, as on some tariff plans.
How to make a landline number on MTS
The number of positive aspects associated with the use of this service is constantly increasing. In addition, this is also influenced by the satisfactory reviews of the provider’s clients, who have already been able to appreciate all the advantages in reality. Then another question arises - how to become the owner of such a unique opportunity and combination of numbers by receiving an MTS city number.
The only correct solution in this case is to contact the company’s office, presenting the employees with an identity document. In this case, the client receives a new SIM card, which already has two phones - federal and city. It is the second option that is more interesting to us. The main thing here when contacting is to indicate to the specialist the need to activate direct dialing. It would seem that there is nothing complicated here.
But it is also important to correctly choose the most optimal tariff plan option, of which MTS has plenty. All of them can be aimed exclusively at high-quality and long-term communication with other subscribers, including other cellular operators. Somewhere, the direction of the tariff plan is manifested in Internet traffic and surfing of numerous web resources. Here everything depends on the preferences of the applicant and the requirements he sets during the use process.
But the desire to become the owner of a landline number may also arise at the time of using the communication services of the MTS company in the federal direction. Here the question immediately arises of how to connect a landline number. In this case, you need to contact your provider and clarify information regarding the possibility of providing the option on your existing phone. After all, there may be cases that they are already occupied and used by other clients. Similar actions can be performed when contacting the sales office by providing your passport.
The peculiarity of use is that it cannot be waived unless a federal waiver is satisfied. Similarly, blocking the latter is not carried out while leaving the city one. They are deactivated simultaneously and in no other way.
If within 90 days there are no funds on the personal account balance for subsequent use of communication services, the landline number is blocked. That is, in the future it will not be possible to service it. This suggests that it is best to constantly check your account balance to continue working on the specified number. There are a huge number of ways to do this, including through your personal account on the official website of the mobile operator.
Here you just need to first go through the registration procedure and start using all the provided functionality to the fullest. If you are not constantly able to replenish your personal account balance, you can set up the “Autopayment” option, by which funds from your bank card will be transferred to your personal account when the minimum balance threshold is reached or on a specific date. You can find out more about this on the official website of the MTS provider.
The option cannot be activated through the user’s personal account on the official resource, special USSD commands or SMS service. Only a direct contact with specialists at the office of the cellular communication company will solve this problem of receiving a number in your name.
How to disable the MTS city number service
As stated earlier, there is no separate waiver of subsequent landline service. To get rid of a short combination of numbers, you can only contact your provider to replace it with a federal one. Otherwise, both service lines are deactivated simultaneously.
To resolve the issue of how to disable it on MTS, just contact the provider’s office, whose address can be viewed in the corresponding section on the official resource.
The main thing is to always first evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of using a direct MTS number. In this case, the possibility of terminating the contract with the provider is practically excluded. Just a few days will be enough to appreciate all the opportunities you receive. The most important thing in this situation is saving money when making calls and sending text messages.
How to connect a city mobile
The conditions for connecting a direct number from a mobile operator are not much different between different companies, but the differences, although minimal, do exist. So, on MTS, the cost of using a direct number depends on the tariff plan. At MegaFon, the fee is fixed, but varies depending on which code the direct telephone number is connected to - 495 or 499.
Regardless of the operator, to connect you must contact the office to conclude an agreement. With Beeline, MTS, and MegaFon, you can choose a new direct number to your existing federal one, or connect a new pair of numbers with full matching numbers.
If the subscriber is a private person, he can use any available tariff plan, additionally paying for the service of a landline number. For companies, as well as when connecting to dealers, there is the opportunity to use special tariff offers that have more favorable conditions and will allow you to get even greater benefits.
