2020-12-07 The landline telephone is still a relevant technology in many apartments. It is convenient for the older generation to use thanks to large and clear buttons, the absence of unnecessary functions and loud sound. Children quickly master this device because they understand how it works.
To connect to a profitable tariff plan with clear conditions, you need to study all MGTS offers - Internet, TV, services, the company provides a wide range of them. MGTS is the oldest provider of telecommunications services in Moscow, which has proven itself to be a reliable provider. The company was founded in the 19th century, and after 138 years of history, the operator is among the leaders of the capital’s market.
Phone connection
Installing a fixed-line MGTS connection will cost you exactly 1,800 rubles. You can apply for a landline number connection as follows:
- By calling the hotline -6.
- By visiting one of the official representative offices of the company at the addresses available at this link.
- By submitting the appropriate application via the Internet, leaving your contact information on the provider’s official website.
After processing the application, an MGTS employee will contact you to agree on a convenient time for the technician to come. The installer will bring with him a contract that the applicant will need to sign, committing to the contractual agreement.
It is worth noting that the home telephone connection is based on optical fiber or ordinary copper wire. We will not dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of data transmission technologies; we will only emphasize that in order to operate a telephone using GPON, you will be supplied with a special receiving device - an ONT router.
According to the standard plan, the modem is mounted directly above the front door on the inside of the living space. In addition to the fact that installing such a device can negatively affect the renovation of an apartment or house, the operation of the ONT router is completely dependent on the electricity supplied from your outlet. Thus, if you have a power outage, you will no longer be able to use the phone.
In turn, existing subscribers who have no debts to the operator can at any time refuse GPON and demand the return of the old technology. The Federal Antimonopoly Service issued a special notice on this matter. Unfortunately, this directive does not apply to new MGTS customers.
Rostelecom tariffs for home Internet using GPON technology
When deciding to connect to the Internet, it is important to choose a good provider that provides such services, as well as a global network access technology that will be comfortable to use. GPON from Rostelecom is very popular. It is necessary to dwell not only on the tariffing of services, but also on the main advantages of such technology.
Users prefer GPON because it provides the following advantages:
- The fiber optic cable used has a high level of throughput, which makes it possible to transmit even the largest volumes of data.
- Incoming and outgoing speeds are almost the same.
- There is almost no reaction of the cable to the influence of the external environment (high humidity levels, weather conditions, etc.).
- Reliable cable protection from mechanical stress.
All these advantages provide Internet users from Rostelecom with uninterrupted access and high speed for a long time.
In Gigabit Passive Optical Network, which will be abbreviated as GPON, the letter “G” stands for access speed, which is 1 Gbps, and the remaining three symbols are passive fiber network.
An important advantage of GPON technology is support for the Triple Play service. Thanks to this service, using one cable, the subscriber has the opportunity to use the full range of RTK services, which includes Internet (high-speed), digital telephony, as well as interactive TV.
In cases where access exclusively to the global network is required, additional equipment can be installed. After the cable has been installed in the apartment, it is connected to the PC directly. You don't need any special settings to get started. This connection provides highly reliable access, and the permissible speed with this technology will be as high as possible. Rostelecom’s GPON tariffs can be found on the provider’s website.
Tariff package options:
“2 in 1 Express 200 Starter 2.0”
Subscription fee per month is 599 rubles. Home Internet OnLime, Interactive television Wink, which provides a large selection of channels, films, series.

How to change the tariff
To switch to a new tariff, you will need to visit an MGTS representative office, taking your identification card with you. If you do not have a residence permit, do not forget to take a document confirming the right to own the real estate where the telephone was installed.
According to the agreement on the provision of telecommunications services, the communication provider, at the request of the subscriber, is obliged to change the tariff plan from the 1st day of the next month. But provided that the corresponding application was submitted 10 days before its occurrence. If you submitted an official request in less than 10 days, then the tariff change will be carried out from the first days of the second month. It is noteworthy that the above procedure is performed free of charge.
For those wishing to change the tariff plan to unlimited packages, it is not necessary to pay a visit to the MGTS Service Center, but just call the numbers:
- “Unlimited” –0;
- “Advanced” –0;
- "Premium" -0.

How to refuse the service?
To cancel your landline number as quickly as possible, terminate the corresponding contract at the MGTS Service Center. To do this, you will need a passport, as well as checks or confirmation of payment of debts to the operator.
If your communications provider’s employees systematically ignore your requests and statements, then contact Roskomnadzor for help, located at: Moscow, Vadkovsky Lane, No. 18. Phone number for inquiries:0.
As for additional services and services, including auto-identifier and call forwarding, they can be activated or disabled at any time at the initiative of the subscriber in the personal account or by calling the Contact Center.
The main feature of MGTS
At the beginning of its work, MGTS sold tariffs at fairly low prices, offering customers large discounts (up to 40%). However, this did not help sales for one simple reason - Internet traffic remained small. People saw no reason to purchase service packages from MGTS at low prices if, as a result, they still had to pay extra for using the Internet.
So, studying the cost of connecting to mobile packages from MGTS of that period, you can see that the price is very different from what was offered by other companies.
Therefore, the company’s use of GPON technology, with which it was possible to increase Internet speed, is of great importance for the further existence and development of MGTS. It is believed that it was thanks to this development that MGTS became known and used in Moscow and the Moscow region.
Home phone repair
The Repair Bureau is responsible for technical support for MGTS subscribers, which carries out its activities in two ways:
- voice consultation through the Contact Center;
- organization of repair work - upon the client’s call.
Therefore, if your landline number is out of order, then try calling the hotline from your work phone. Initially, specialists will try to help you remotely. But if these attempts are in vain, then they will automatically accept a request to call the master. The latter will visit your apartment at a time agreed upon with you. A similar request to call a repairman can also be submitted if the Internet and digital television of MGTS breaks down.
So, fixed-line communications from the Moscow City Telephone Networks are trying to meet new challenges in the telecommunications services market, offering subscribers a wide choice of tariffs, additional services, while not forgetting to improve the level of service. Is it worth the money? Naturally, but we must not forget that MGTS’s competitors also do not take care of their rear.

The merger of MTS and MGTS has long seemed to shareholders to be a successful and profitable idea, which was even formalized on paper. But its implementation was hampered by a whole bunch of problems: it was necessary to collect a lot of documents, permits, certificates, licenses, which, of course, required a lot of effort and time.
The idea was promoted much later. It was bought out, and on its basis a completely new network was formed called MGTS.
The changes came into force so quickly that the media did not have time to react, and the reorganization did not receive excessive publicity. And yet, the new company managed to take a leading position in the Russian capital. Of course, its appearance required significant expenses.
The latest developments offered by MGTS are explained by the latter circumstance.
The interaction of two companies - MTS and MGTS - has endowed the Moscow network with many advantages, which you can read about below. This is how more favorable tariffs for customers appeared, which are especially appreciated both in the capital and in the Moscow region.
However, there were no large-scale changes. All service packages, although they have undergone changes, still take everything into account and try to satisfy old user requests.

Saving money in all its forms Choosing a tariff plan in MGTS
We begin our article with a question that is now of interest to many: changing tariff plans for paying for landline phones
.
From February 1, 2007, a transition to new tariff plans for telephone services took place throughout the Russian Federation. Let's consider the choice of tariff using the example of an individual connection scheme (i.e., not a paired telephone) of MGTS. Three tariff plans (hereinafter referred to as TP) have been put into effect:
Payment type
| Rate. Plan No. 1 (Time-based payment system) | Rate. plan number 2 | Rate. plan No. 3 (Subscriber payment system) | ||
| Subscriber line fee, rub. | ||||
| Basic volume of local telephone connections, min. | ||||
| Fee for the basic volume of local telephone connections, rub. | ||||
| Cost 1 min. conversation of local telephone connections, rub. | ||||
| Fee for an unlimited volume of local telephone connections, rub. | ||||
| Total subscriber payments | individual switching diagram | 125 rub. + 0.28 rub. per min. conversation | 125 rub. + 104 rub. + 0.23 rub. per min. conversation above the base volume | 125 rub. + 255 rub. |
| Total minimum monthly payment | 125 rub. (if the subscriber does not make outgoing calls) | 229 rub. (if the subscriber makes outgoing calls for no more than 370 minutes) | ||
Notes:
- The cost of services is indicated including VAT
- All incoming calls are free
- Intercity, international and intrazonal (to mobile phones) connections, as well as calls to paid information and service services of OJSC MGTS are paid separately.
- There is no charge for calls to the telephone numbers of emergency operational services: 01, 02, 03 and 04, 995-99-99 and 914-22-22, as well as calls to the free telephone numbers of MGTS OJSC help services (09, 636-06-36, information - telephone service centers).
In February, each MGTS subscriber will receive a notification about the introduction of new tariff plans
and
an invoice for January with a form for choosing a tariff plan
. The notification about the introduction of new tariff plans will reflect information about the number of minutes that the subscriber has spoken for each of the months from July to December 2006. Over the previous six months (from January to June 2006), information was already sent to subscribers.
So, now we need to choose the most convenient tariff plan. Let's consider how many minutes you talk on average per month:
Cost of 1 minute of conversation for TP No. 2 (Combined payment system)
included in the monthly payment is equal to 104/370 = 0.28 rub.
Conclusion: if you don’t talk more than 370 minutes on average per month
, then it’s not profitable for you to take TP No. 2, because
in TP No. 1 (Time-based payment system), the cost of a minute of conversation is exactly the same.
If on average, you speak in the region of 370 minutes
.
Imagine that with TP No. 1 you spoke 470 minutes (i.e. 100 minutes more than is included in the monthly fee for TP No. 2), then you will have to pay (0.28 - 0.23) * 100 = 5 rubles more than with TP No. 2.
If you use TP No. 2 for 270 minutes (i.e., 100 minutes less than is included in the monthly fee for TP No. 2), then compared to TP No. 1 you will pay 0.28 rubles * 100 = 28 rubles more than with TP No. 1. Conclusion: if on average you talk for about 370 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less), then it is more profitable for you to take
TP No. 1
(Time-based payment system), because
one unnegotiated minute with TP No. 2 will cost you 5.6 times more than one minute that you negotiate with TP No. 1 (this means only an overpayment compared to TP No. 2).
Now, let's see in which case you should choose
TP No. 2 and TP No. 3.
Let's calculate how many minutes someone can talk for 255 rubles.(
TP No. 3
fee for unlimited volume) subscriber with
TP No. 2
:
370 + (255-104)/0.23 = 1026 minutes.
Conclusion: if on average you speak more than 370 minutes and less than 1026, then it is more profitable for you to choose
TP No. 2.
Accordingly, if on average you speak more than 1026,
then it is more profitable to choose
TP No. 3.
You can select the tariff plan you like by signing in the appropriate field of the January invoice. Invoices must be delivered to mailboxes by February 18th inclusive. You can get additional advice on introducing three tariff plans and choosing one of them by calling MGTS’s 24-hour toll-free hotline: 8
.
Tariff plan Amount of subscription fee, rub. Cost per minute of conversation Number of free minutes to landline numbers Number of free minutes to numbers of mobile operators Time-based 2050.600 Combined 4290.584000 Unlimited 4990 unlimited 0 Extended 6250 unlimited 100 Premium 8500 unlimited 300The minimum tariff in the line is suitable for those who talk a little (on average no more than 400 minutes per month), the cost per minute is only 60 kopecks, this is profitable when compared with plans of mobile operators with per-minute billing.
The combined tariff, in fact, is beneficial for those who talk more than 400 minutes a month, but less than 500, since you will have to pay 58 rubles for an excess of 100 minutes from the base tariff. (0.58*100), in this case it is easier to switch to the Unlimited tariff for 499 rubles (60 rubles more expensive).
Until February 28, 2021, MGTS held a promotion. The company offered to switch from Time-based to Unlimited tariff and receive a bonus of 300 rubles for this. If you notice that you are spending about 500 rubles on communications using a time-based payment system, it makes sense to change the plan. Extended and Reception are suitable for those who call from landline to mobile phones.
MGTS provides Internet connection services using GPON technology. The optics are carried to the apartment, which ensures high speeds regardless of the number of neighbors. The size of the subscription fee depends on the speed of data reception and transmission.
