2021-03-17 We are used to our smartphones and make calls mainly from one mobile to another. Landline phones - also called home or landline - are slowly becoming a thing of the past, and some young people don’t even know what they look like. However, there are situations when you need to make a call to your home phone from the same mobile phone.
For example, you want to call your grandmother living in another city, who does not have a mobile phone, but has an old disk drive. Or perhaps your friend just changed his cell number, but you need to contact him urgently, and you found his landline number in the phone book? One way or another, you will have to figure out how to properly call your home phone from a mobile phone. Let us reassure you in advance - it is very simple.
How to call from a cell phone to a home phone
Since landline phones and mobile devices have a similar design and are designed for conversations with a subscriber, it is not surprising that dialing is carried out in a similar way. The main thing is to adhere to a certain algorithm.
- First you need to enter the country code. For Russia it is +7 or 8.
- It should be followed by a digital combination assigned individually to each city.
- Finally, you should enter the fixed number of the intended interlocutor. For landlines, the number of digits can vary from 5 to 7.
It should be remembered that in order to successfully try to call from a smartphone to a home phone, you must enter a complete set of numbers, including the country and city code.
When entering any combination, you cannot insert spaces, parentheses, or other characters. For example, when calling a subscriber on a home phone in Moscow, it will look like this: +74959999999 or 84859999999. When making calls within the region, just put an eight in front of the city identifier. However, if you are in another city or abroad, you will need to use the international format.
Before calling a landline phone from a smartphone, it is advisable to check your personal account and make sure that there is enough money on it. This is necessary because such calls are charged much higher than those provided within the cellular network.
You can check the tariffs with your operator. To do this, dial a certain combination of numbers and symbols and press the “Green Tube” key. The received SMS message will contain the necessary information about the cost of calls both within the city and outside it.
Connection and cost of a landline telephone
The provider took care of the convenience of its customers; connecting a landline phone from MTS became easy. How to connect:
- check the website for the possibility of receiving services at home;
- fill out an application;
- wait for an incoming message from the manager;
- provide clarifying information;
- wait for the wizard to configure.
You can contact contact centers directly and draw up an agreement to connect the service there. The cost is paid one-time in the amount of 1800 rubles.
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.
MTS: detailed description
For subscribers who are going to activate the service, the company offers cheap tariffs complete with “Home TV” and a landline number. A detailed description will reveal all the secrets of the packages offered.
The company provides clients with profitable 3in1 packages, which include:

How to call from a mobile to a landline number in another country
Due to the availability of travel not only to neighboring cities, but also to foreign countries, mobile operators have simplified communication with those who remain at home as much as possible. One of the services available to mobile device owners is calls to a landline phone. Sometimes there is a need to contact relatives who do not use smartphones, a manager, or call the office. This is extremely easy to do if you use the international format when typing. It looks like this: +7 UUU XXX XX XX, where
- the first two characters mean the Russian code in the international standard;
- the next three are the city identifier;
- the remaining seven are the subscriber number.
In a similar way, you can call from a mobile phone in Russia to a home phone anywhere in the world. For example, if there is a need to urgently make a call to Madrid, which, as you know, is located in Spain, you need to type from the keyboard:
- country code – 34;
- city identifier – 91;
- recipient number.
The entire combination of numbers must be entered without spaces or any symbols. The only exception is the presence of the “+” symbol. It must be entered before the country code. It should be remembered that international calls are more expensive than calls to your home region, so before calling, you should familiarize yourself with the tariffs.
A table is provided with the codes of some countries to which Russian residents call most often.
A country | Code |
Kazakhstan | +7 |
Republic of Belarus | +375 |
Ukraine | +380 |
France | +33 |
USA | +1 |
