Rostelecom home phone tariffs in 2021 for calls within Russia and international

With the advent of mobile communications, home telephony has ceased to be as widespread as before. Today, such services seem to be used only in the old fashioned way, or in commercial activities. Rostelecom offers individuals and legal entities to try new solutions in this direction with the largest tariff schedule among all telecom operators today.

Tariffs for home telephony

As in the case of mobile communications, a certain list of tariffs is provided so that the client has no doubt that he is paying a subscription fee for the options he needs.

"Unlimited Russia". Do you like long conversations? Don't want to count the minutes to save? Tariff for you. Call local landline numbers and speak any time you want - you don’t have to pay for minutes. A nice bonus of the tariff plan is 200 free minutes to mobile numbers per month.
"Unlimited." The tariff plan is similar to the previous one with the exception of one thing - there are no free minutes to mobile numbers. But for this reason the tariff is somewhat cheaper.
“Combined 450.” Don't you make calls from your home phone that often? Tariff for you! 450 minutes to local landline numbers is a great opportunity to talk for free when needed.
"Combined 350". The tariff plan differs from the previous one in that it includes 350 free minutes per month. This is also the best option for people who do not need a stable home phone.
"Day off". The tariff is suitable exclusively for those for whom a home telephone is not an important device for every day. You can call local numbers for free and without restrictions only on weekends. On weekdays - according to the cost per minute.
"Social". The tariff also includes a small number of free minutes. There are only 100 of them per month. But it is suitable for short and non-daily conversations.
"Time-based." If you want a minimum subscription fee, but do not actively use your home phone, by connecting to this tariff, you will pay for as many minutes as you spoke.
"Subscriber". There are no restrictions on calls to local numbers. How does this tariff, in this case, differ from the unlimited one? The fact is that it is connected when, from a technical point of view, it is not possible to carry out time-based recording of conversations.

Application procedure

Submitting an application in all three cases is the same; its order can be described by a general algorithm:

Selected a tariff plan.
Selected additional services.
Sent personal information about where and in what name the contract will be signed.
We waited for the operator to call to confirm your intention and the technical capabilities of Rostelecom.

The application has been submitted, you can wait for the arrival of specialists.

The only difference is that the contract itself is not signed immediately in the office, but at the time of connection - if you submitted the application remotely.

Important! If your apartment or house requires the formation of a subscriber line (that is, you did not previously have a home telephone), connection will still cost 1 ruble until 12.2018!

What phone number is provided?

By connecting to the service, you get a phone from the world-famous company, which has been producing communication devices and other gadgets for a huge number of years. Subscribers are provided with the “TX-214” model. Its advantages are as follows:

The buttons are large enough for older people to dial numbers comfortably;
You will definitely hear the call due to the loud sound;
The ability to dial an important number by pressing 1 button (the instructions provide details);
There is a high brightness call indicator light;
You can store 13 numbers in the phone memory;
The ringer volume is adjustable.

Personal Area

A personal account has been implemented on the official website of the company. Anyone who has entered into a service agreement with Rostelecom has access to it. In the system, you can track your balance, replenish it, manage services, contact specialists, connect additional options, apply for a visit from a specialist, move, and much more.

Cost of calls to other countries

If previously calling from a home number to another country was insanely expensive, today the situation is completely different. You can communicate with friends and family who are abroad on a very budget-friendly basis.

If you need calls of this nature, you need to enable the additional option “Call other countries”:

Connecting the option costs 45 rubles. You only need to pay for the connection once;
Subscription fee - 45 rubles (paid every calendar month).

You can activate the option in the following ways:

The most convenient way is to visit your Personal Account, go to the home telephony section and study the services provided, finding the desired option;
Technical support specialists can help you with connection - free calls to 8 800 100 0 800;
Visit any Rostelecom office operating in your city and receive detailed instructions for activating the option.

Attention! Connecting to the service does not mean that you can communicate for free (unlimited) with people in other countries. Calls to other countries become available at a special cost per minute. Go to this page (//rt.ru/hometel/call_other_countries) to find out how much a minute of conversation will cost when calling a particular country.

How to choose the best tariff

In order to calculate which tariff will be most beneficial for you, you need to make some calculations. Calculate how many minutes a month you talk approximately.

If you mostly speak on weekends, then your choice is “Weekend.” If you talk for less than 100 minutes, connect to the “Time-based” or “Social” tariff.

If you spend from 100 to 350 minutes on calls per month, sign up for the “Combined 350” tariff, from 350 to 450 – “Combined 450”. If you talk for 450 minutes or more, connect to the “Unlimited” tariff.

If you talk a lot with other cities, then the “Unlimited Russia” tariff is most suitable for you.

Cost of calls to other cities

When choosing a tariff, be careful - they indicate the conditions for calls to local landline numbers. If you need to call other cities, the optimal solution will not be difficult to find. For this task, you need to enable the “Favorite Intercity” option.

Please note that one option is connected per direction. That is, you independently choose the subject of the Russian Federation, in the case of which the minimum cost of a minute of conversation will be provided. The price is 1.5 rubles per 1 minute.

Is it possible to connect the option to several cities at once? 1 option per subject of the Russian Federation. There are no other restrictions. Numerous options can be connected. The cost of the service is as follows:

A one-time payment of 30 rubles is required for connection;
The monthly subscription fee is 30 rubles.

For each new option you need to pay both in terms of connection and subscription services.

You can activate the service using the same methods as indicated above in the “Call other countries” section.

Intercity tariffs

Without connecting additional tariffs, the cost is calculated based on the distance between cities. The following is the cost of a minute of conversation in rubles depending on the distance between the city where the call is made and Moscow as an example:

Less than 100 kilometers – 2.38
From 10 to 600 – 3.78
From 601 to 1200 – 4.12
From 1201 to 3000 – 5
From 3001 to 5000 – 5.55
More than 5000 kilometers – 6.15
To St. Petersburg – 1.99 rubles
When you subscribe to the “Unlimited” Russia tariff, you can make calls per month with a total duration of no more than 1440 minutes. If you exceed this number of minutes, you will not be able to call another city, but calls within your home region will be available in an unlimited volume.
Tariff “Optimal choice”

According to the terms of this tariff, the subscriber deposits a predetermined amount (220/450 rubles) into the account. For this money you can talk long distance for 100/300 minutes. After this, conversations will cost the client 2 rubles 38 kopecks per minute. This tariff is suitable for those people who know exactly what they will be talking long distance in the near future.

Calls to Kazakhstan from a home phone

If your loved ones live in Kazakhstan, or colleagues/partners need to constantly call this country, you should think about connecting to a special service. The option is called “Unlimited Kazakhstan”:

The service provides 200 minutes of free calls every day;
The monthly subscription fee is 305 rubles;
Free minutes can only be used for calls to landline numbers;
Activation of the option is possible in the same ways that are relevant for the above services.

You should pay using your subscriber number/personal account in one of the convenient ways:

By bank card directly on the website - https://moscow.rt.ru/payment.
Electronic money Webmoney or Yandex.Money, both via the link above, and through the payment systems themselves.

Types of tariff plans

In accordance with the main connection features, Rostelecom tariffs for home telephones can be divided into 2 main groups:

Unlimited.
Time-based (paid by the minute).

Rostelecom also offers customers combined tariffs for telephone communications. They combine the characteristic features of the first two connection options.

Any type of tariff plan includes the cost of servicing a subscriber line - about 180 rubles. Payment for other communication services is carried out in excess of the specified amount. For this reason, Rostelecom does not have home phone tariffs without a subscription fee.

How are calls from a landline number paid?

The Rostelecom operator provides telephone connection at a price acceptable to most people. Mobile communications require prepayment for their services, and in the case of landline telephony, you only need to pay in advance the cost of installing a home phone in Rostelecom.

Subscribers will then make calls and pay for them upon completion of the next month. That is, subscribers speak first, then pay for the minutes used (in the case of an unlimited tariff, a subscription fee). No one will interrupt an important call because the balance runs out of money if the subscriber has chosen a tariff with a fixed number of minutes.

The telephone bill will be sent to your postal or email address for all services used in one receipt: for long-distance and international calls, for unlimited calls within the region.

Equipment installation

An application for installation of a Rostelecom phone is considered no longer than three days, and installation of all necessary equipment takes no more than 40 minutes. During this time, the technician manages to install the socket (to minimize the cost of maintenance, it is presented in a single copy) and establish a connection between the Rostelecom landline telephone and the network.

The client purchases the main device and the elements needed to secure it himself (this is included in the connection price). And the specialist will deliver the socket, cable and other elements necessary for installing a Rostelecom phone himself and will not require any additional payment for this.

Obviously, there should be no difficulties with submitting an application, concluding an agreement and subsequent installation of the device. Therefore, connect a landline phone, test the capabilities of Rostelecom landline communications yourself and enjoy the communication.

Limitless communication

There is a standard BO tariff. It allows you to get a large package for making calls within Russia. Conditions:

Size – 200 min.
In excess of the provided limit - from 3.8 rubles.
Subscription fee – 350/499 rub.

Keep in mind that for most TPs, Rostelecom has different conditions for customers with an unlimited and regular local communication tariff. Therefore, you should carefully study the parameters before connecting.

About the price

To describe the conditions, parameters for one of the regions were taken as an example. In other regions, the cost and content may differ. The company changes the conditions to make the programs as attractive as possible.

You can find out the data for your region on the RT website. It's simple:

Go to the portal.
It will determine the location and offer a version of the site for a specific city.
Open the home phone section.
Choose long-distance communication services.
Review the current TPs and conditions in your region.

Optimal

BO optimal – package plan with an increased number of minutes. Let's study the indicators for it:

Subscription fee – 200/250 rubles per month.
Issued 140 minutes in Russia.
If you exceed this volume, the cost will be 1.9 rubles.

A 140-minute package is enough for most subscribers. BO optimal is one of the best long-distance tariffs from Rostelecom, which is in demand among customers.
