Let's say you're at work and don't want your iPhone to buzz every few minutes due to incoming messages or notifications. What to do? Many use Do Not Disturb, a feature that hides all notifications and calls while the phone is locked.

Notifications and calls are received, it's just that the phone does not vibrate, ring or display them on the screen until you turn on the screen. This is very convenient when you are not actively using your phone.

But what if you're answering emails on your phone or reading a book. Even with Do Not Disturb mode, notification banners will appear and the phone will vibrate for each one. It's very distracting, especially if you're focused on something.

If you want to hide absolutely all notifications during iPhone usage or iPad, you will have to change the mode settings a little.

How to hide all notifications while using iPhone

Go to Settings > Do not disturb. In section Silence check the box next to the option Always.

Now you won't receive notifications at all while Do Not Disturb is enabled. The phone will not ring or vibrate, banners will not be displayed on the screen. You will receive calls and notifications, you just won't know about it until you turn off the mode.

This is very convenient when you are busy with something important and do not want to be distracted.

Additional settings

To hide all incoming calls, in the section Call admission select From no one.

If you only want to receive calls from certain people, you can select From the Chosen Ones. This way you will only receive notifications about calls from contacts in that group.

If you want to receive important calls, you should enable the option Repeated calls. If a person calls you a second time within three minutes, you will receive a call notification. In some situations, these calls can be extremely important.

Throughout the territory Russian Federation since July 1, 2006 all incoming phone calls will be free. March 2006 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the federal law "On Amendments to Article 54 of the Law" On Communications ", which prohibits charging for incoming calls. This law was adopted by the State Duma on February 8 and approved by the Federation Council on February 22, 2006.

Throughout the Russian Federation since July 1, 2006. all incoming phone calls will be free. March 2006 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the federal law "On Amendments to Article 54 of the Law" On Communications ", which prohibits charging for incoming calls. This law was adopted by the State Duma on February 8 and approved by the Federation Council on February 22, 2006.

The changes assume that a telephone connection established as a result of a call by another subscriber is not subject to payment. The exception is cases when the connection is made with the help of a telephone operator at the expense of the called subscriber or using special codes for accessing telecommunication services.

June 19, 2006 The Federal Tariff Service (FTS) has set an inter-operator tariff for introducing the "free incoming" principle in the amount of 0.95 rubles. per minute of telephone connection. After that JSC Mobile TeleSystems"(MTS) announced that this fee does not cover the company's costs, therefore, tariffs for outgoing calls will be increased in the near future. Following this, VimpelCom OJSC (Beeline trademark) announced that during July 2006. plans to refine its tariff policy.

This was followed by a statement from the Minister information technologies and Leonid Reiman's connection that, in his opinion, the growth of tariffs for mobile operators with the adoption of the law on free incoming calls "is not entirely justified."

The amount of money that operators receive in mutual settlements with fixed-line operators is enough for them not to raise their tariffs, L. Reiman believes. He noted that "the ministry was not very supportive" of the law on free incoming calls.

However, the new rule, according to L. Reiman, allows introducing an adequate system of mutual settlements between operators, which will comply with international practice. "This law will indeed lead to an increase in the cost of calls for subscribers, but, first of all, it will affect fixed-line subscribers," the minister concluded.

A little later it became known that of the Big Three operators (MTS, VimpelCom and MegaFon), only MegaFon-Moscow announced that from July 1, 2006. a number of changes are introduced in the archived (i.e. unavailable for connection) tariff plans. In the "O" Light tariff, the cost of a minute of an outgoing call to MegaFon-Moscow numbers and federal numbers mobile operators Moscow region, as well as the cost of an outgoing SMS message will be 1.20 rubles. The accrual of bonuses for incoming calls lasting more than one minute from MegaFon-Moscow network numbers and federal numbers of mobile operators in the Moscow region is cancelled. In the FIX tariff plan, the subscription fee will be 295 rubles, in the UltraLIGHT tariff plan - 180 rubles. At the same time, the press service of the Moscow "MegaFon" noted that the company does not rule out further changes in other existing tariff plans, but this will happen after July 1, 2006.

According to Anastasia Vorontsova, an employee of the press service of MegaFon-Moscow, with all these changes, since July 1, 2006. for all tariff plans of the MegaFon-Moscow network, fees for incoming calls are canceled in connection with the introduction of the principle of "free incoming calls" (CPP) in Russia. Thus, MegaFon subscribers, like all other Russian cellular companies, will be able to receive a call for free, no matter where it comes from: from a mobile, landline phone, from another city or country.

Kirill Alyavdin, a spokesman for Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (MTS), told RBC that the only change that will affect the company's subscribers from July 1, 2006 is the abolition of fees for all incoming calls when they are in their "home" region. For tariff plans with minutes included in the monthly fee, these calls will not be included in the monthly fee. At the same time, K. Alyavdin specified that "there will be no such changes from July 1, and then the company will look at it." "We said that we would revise tariffs, but only gradually, in different regions in different ways," he said.

The press secretary of the Beeline network (OJSC VimpelCom) in Moscow, Evgenia Demina, said that the company will also not recalculate old tariff plans from July 1, but will only cancel fees for incoming calls, although Beeline's strategy is in principle against such a recalculation tariffs. However, she did not rule out that in the future there may be changes in tariffs that were launched before Beeline's first ruble tariff. E. Demina noted that the company intends to continue negotiations with the regulator on increasing the fee for terminating a call when calling from a fixed phone to a mobile phone from 0.95 rubles. in a minute.

And the press service of the OJSC "Moscow City Telephone Network" (MGTS) noted that since July 1, 2006. MGTS subscribers, in accordance with the law "On Communications", will pay for calls from their phones to numbers mobile subscribers. The cost of a minute of conversation will be 1.5 rubles. At the same time, OJSC "CenterTelecom" reported that for subscribers of "CenterTelecom" the cost of one minute of connection between subscribers of a fixed network in regional centers and subscribers of the operator mobile communications from July 1 will also be 1.5 rubles. The company clarified that for subscribers of the Moscow region (phones in the codes 495, 496 and 498) calls from fixed network subscribers to numbers of subscribers of mobile ("mobile") networks are charged as intrazonal calls to Moscow (depending on the distance of 1 -th or 2nd tariff zone).

Recall that the cost of calls within 1 tariff zone is 2.15 rubles. (from 08:00 to 20:00 on working days of the week) and 1.50 rubles. (from 20:00 to 08:00 on weekdays, weekends and holidays); for the 2nd tariff zone - 3.85 rubles. (from 08:00 to 20:00 on working days of the week) and 2.50 rubles. (from 20:00 to 08:00 on weekdays, weekends and holidays).

Also, after the FTS announced the inter-operator tariff for significant subscribers at 0.95 rubles. per minute, some operators cellular communication reported that they plan to introduce a connection fee after the abolition of the incoming charge. In particular, on June 22, 2006. Leonid Melamed, President of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC, said that the company is considering charging subscribers for connection as one of the ways to compensate for losses from free incoming calls. He also noted that MTS lawyers had worked through this issue and came to the conclusion that the current legislation allows this to be done.

However, June 28, 2006 Vitaly Slizen, director of the department of state policy in the field of infocommunication technologies of the Ministry of Information and Communications, said that the ministry opposes the establishment mobile operators this board. According to him, companies should charge for the service, and "not for each keystroke." "The connection itself gives nothing to the user," V. Slizen noted. He also recalled that, according to one of the norms of the 328th resolution of the Russian government, a conversation lasting less than 3 seconds should not be charged.

MOSCOW, July 1 - RIA Novosti. In Russia, from July 1, amendments to the law "On Communications" come into force, according to which all incoming calls will be free. The caller will pay for these calls.

The innovation applies in particular to landline-to-cellular calls, which are currently free for the calling party and paid for by the receiving party.

The cost of a call from landlines to mobile phones, according to the decision of the Federal Tariff Service, will not exceed 1.5 rubles per minute, with the exception of the northern regions, where this service will cost 1.7 rubles, in Chukotka - two rubles, and in Yakutia - 2 .47 rubles.

The FTS also established minimum levels of tariff increases, which are defined as 50% of the maximum. Operators can set tariffs within minimum and maximum values.

At the same time, until January 1, 2007, tariffs for telephone connections fixed-line subscribers with mobile subscribers with direct subscriber numbers will remain unchanged, that is, they will correspond to tariffs for local telephone connections.

Many cellular subscribers have expressed fears that operators, in order to compensate for their costs, will increase the cost of outgoing calls and SMS messages from July 1.

Interviewed by RIA Novosti, mobile operators said that this will not happen from July 1, but did not rule out an increase in tariffs in the future.

“Starting from July 1, incoming fees will be canceled. And only then tariff plans will change as they are ready,” Megafon press secretary Marina Belasheva told RIA Novosti. “As expected, by law, we will notify our subscribers about changes to existing rates for ten days.

According to the spokesman, it is necessary "to carry out serious calculations, to see how much the volume of traffic incoming and outgoing will change." And only after that the company will work out " new model business,” Belasheva said. At the same time, she acknowledged that tariff increases are inevitable, but this will happen in stages and in different regions in different ways.

MTS spokesman Kirill Alyavdin said the company "so far has no concrete plans" to raise tariffs. "The only thing that can be said with 100% certainty is that from the 1st day all incoming calls will be free," the agency's interlocutor said.

"From July 1, tariffs will not change, except for the abolition of incoming fees. And during July, we will clarify our tariff policy," Vimpelcom spokeswoman Yulia Ostroukhova said.

Vimpelcom has already calculated that the cost of Beeline subscribers as a result of the abolition of incoming fees will be reduced by an average of 8%, and the tariff increase will be less than 8%. "If there is an increase, it will not affect all tariffs and will be insignificant," Ostroukhova said.

Incoming calls - free of charge?

What we call “All incoming free of charge” is commonly abbreviated abroad to CPP (Calling Party Pays), i.e. "The caller pays." Note that the foreign definition is much more real and true, because, alas, there are no free things and services in this world. As we will see in the future, not “all” incoming is so free.

Calls from landlines

The first and, probably, the most important category of calls is from a landline phone to a federal mobile (we will talk about city mobiles a little later). Everything is quite transparent here: the owner of the mobile does not pay anything, and the money is withdrawn from the one who dials the number and initializes the call. But how much?

· If the call is made from home phone, then for a minute of conversation you will have to pay 1.5 rubles, which approximately corresponds to 5.6 cents. In principle, such a call is cheaper than, for example, a call from a mobile phone to a landline. Especially considering that the real 5.6 cents do not correspond to the cents that are indicated in the operator's tariffs.

· If they call from a street payphone, then a minute will cost 4.5-15 rubles, depending on which payphone card is used. This, of course, is much more expensive than calling from home or even from a mobile, but in some situations there is no other way out. For example, if the account runs out of money or the battery runs out.

· On landline phones where the eight is disabled, you will have to use IP telephony cards. Everything will depend only on the operator whose services you use. Accordingly, the cost of a minute will range from 1.9 to 4.2 rubles. Again, dialing a number through the "card" takes much more time than just through the "eight".

· A call to a federal mobile phone from a work (office) phone will cost 1.77 rubles. But the most enjoyable part of calling from work is that you have to pay the bills. legal entity, that is, the company to which the landline number is registered. However, office phones often have a G8 blocker ... in this case, see above.

· Many modern phones allow you to send SMS. The cost of a message to a mobile is 1 ruble, to another home - 75 kopecks.

In principle, prices bite not very much. In most countries where CPP has long been the norm, the rates are much higher. For example, in Ukraine, which switched to the "All incoming free" system more than two years ago, a call from a landline to a mobile phone costs 19 cents. And until 13.07.06 and even worse - 23 cents. Compared to our southern neighbors, we are still very well settled.

As a result long negotiations and a kind of "tug of war" was determined and compensation to mobile operators for incoming traffic- 95 kopecks. Those. out of 1.5 rubles that a city network subscriber pays for a minute of conversation, 95 kopecks go to the operator's piggy bank. The remaining 55 kopecks go to the account of the city telephone network. Let's find out what mobile and wired operators think about this.

Expert opinions

Some of the largest players in the domestic market expressed their opinions regarding CPP in Russia especially for Ferra.ru:

MGTS (press office):

It is still too early to talk about any concrete results of the introduction of the CPP system. We will be able to get the first results only at the end of July / beginning of August, and even then they will be very approximate. This is for us, and for all Russian telephone operators in general, the first experience in the "All Incoming Free" system. Any figures that can be called the overall results, the results of the introduction of the CPP, will appear very soon.

In fact, we obey the law, MGTS did not show any initiative regarding the introduction of new rules. However, we believe that this change in the market is at least fair to mobile subscribers.

The cost of 1 minute (1.5 rubles) was determined not only by us. In general, tariffs are determined by the FTS (Federal Tariff Service). To determine the final cost of the interconnect, several meetings were held, at which all parties who were to be affected by the new changes were presented. Nothing can be said about the further increase or decrease in prices. But the FTS states that until January 1, 2007 everything will remain unchanged.

MTS (Kirill Alyavdin, press secretary):

The obvious advantages of introducing the caller pays principle for MTS subscribers was the elimination of fees for incoming calls.

However, due to the low tariff for interconnect (inter-operator connection), which was set Federal Service according to tariffs, MTS is going to introduce a connection fee in a number of tariffs at the level of 35 to 50 kopecks (including VAT) depending on the region and tariff plan for outgoing calls lasting more than three seconds.

At the same time, it should be noted that, in general, MTS subscribers after the introduction of CPP and connection fees will spend less on communication. Because all incoming calls will be free. The introduction of connection charges will in no case exceed the level of reduction in user costs after the abolition of incoming call charges. And we must not forget that many millions of people with low incomes living in Russia will have the opportunity to be constantly in touch without spending a penny on it. And their friends and relatives who call them will not be afraid that their call will cost a person dearly. Therefore, since we have millions of subscribers with small incomes, the introduction of CPP will even have a positive effect on their loyalty to MTS, given our wide coverage and presence throughout Russia.

Sky Link (Olga Pestereva, PR Director):

This is a common practice in the world. At this stage, we simply canceled the fee for all incoming calls for our subscribers at all tariffs throughout the territory of presence, without increasing the cost of services in any of the tariff plans introduced before July 1, 2006.

It was quite easy for us to bring the current tariffs in line with the new requirements of the regulator, since the vast majority of our tariffs are unlimited, and incoming calls to them were not initially charged (for example, incoming paid calls in the Moscow region accounted for only 7% of the structure of voice traffic).

So far, there are no revolutions in our tariff policy, including our unlimited tariffs remain in effect (as before, they all include a certain amount of data transfer traffic, and more than half of our subscribers use mobile Internet). There will definitely be tariff news in the future, as there are serious structural changes that affect all market participants. Decisions will be made depending on the development of the situation.

The attitude is positive, the market is developing and changes are inevitable. In this situation, we are particularly interested in the content market. For us, the obvious plus is that CPP catalyzes the development of Sky Link as an operator that can technologically provide 3G services based on high speed mobile transmission data, including multimedia services.

The Ministry of Communications and the State Duma were the initiators of the introduction of the CPP. And although the operators themselves were not the first to "rush into battle", the majority of them assessed the new rules positively.

Operators and their "subtleties"

There is nothing surprising in the fact that MGTS consider CPP a "fair" innovation - they only profit from calls. 55 kopecks per minute. For mobile operators, the situation is not so rosy, because the 95 kopecks they receive from a call from a landline is the same 95 kopecks that they have to pay in the form of compensation to “colleagues-operators” for a call from their network to their federal number. The so-called interconnect works not only according to the scheme "city number - federal mobile", but also according to the scheme "mobile from network A - mobile from network B". So the operators will have to compensate for quite a lot of costs. At meetings where it was decided what and how much would cost new system, representatives of MTS called the approximate loss of the mobile communications market - $ 1 billion per year. This amount is most likely overstated, but the fact that operators will have to somehow make up for those 10% of the profits that they received from incoming ones is undoubted. Let's try to consider the main ways of "compensation".

Roaming

Probably the easiest way to increase the cost of communication without unnecessary panic of the bulk of subscribers is roaming. Many people are too lazy to connect to the local network on vacation / on a business trip, many simply cannot change their work number, and there are no alternatives to roaming for them. Therefore, under the slogan "for the convenience of subscribers", operators, a few weeks before the transition to new "rails", changed the very system of billing calls for subscribers outside their "home" region. Now the entire globe is divided into several huge roaming zones. Undoubtedly, it is more convenient than before, when each country had its own rates, but, alas, calls abroad did not become cheaper. Let's compare the prices of the main operators on the example of the tariff zone "Europe".

The prices of the operators are indicated in different ways, in different currencies. For example, Megafon has completely switched to rubles, Beeline uses both dollars and rubles, while MTS adheres to dollar rates. For greater "transparency" and clarity, all prices are converted into rubles, including VAT and rounded up to 0.1 rubles.

Operator	Incoming call	local call	Call to Russia	Outgoing SMS
MTS	54,1	20,3	54,1	10,1
Beeline			63,7	10,6
Megaphone

It should also be noted that for Megafon subscribers until the end of September, the Season of Warm Words promotion is valid. In fact, very profitable proposition for vacationers abroad: incoming and local calls will cost 19 rubles, and a call to Russia - 49 rubles.

Old tariffs in a new way

Another action on the part of Megafon (however, not at all as pleasant as the Season of Warm Words) was the modification of old tariffs. The Olight and FIX tariffs, which were extremely popular at the time, have risen in price, since Megafon simply cannot afford to leave the prices the same. Olight now costs 1.20 rubles. per minute of a call to another mobile (including Megafon), one SMS costs the same. An outgoing call to a city or region will cost 6.49 rubles. Of course, incoming bonuses have ceased to operate, but this is not surprising. Another thing is surprising - why did Olight not rise in price even more? Indeed, for a minute of interconnect, Megafon should give 0.95 rubles. It turns out that the profit per minute of the conversation will be 25 kopecks. The benefit is dubious. Probably, the company is counting on the fact that Olight users will conduct most of their conversations within the network in the old fashioned way.

With the FIX tariff, there are other changes - now you have to pay a monthly fee of 295 rubles per month. On the other hand, outgoing calls to mobile phones in the Moscow region cost 3.16 rubles, and calls to landlines and to the region cost 6.32 rubles. However, as before, there is a connection limit of 30 minutes. Interestingly, however, even with two half-hour calls a day, subscription fee no longer compensates for interconnect costs. Therefore, by introducing a monthly fee, Megafon most likely wants to get rid of low-budget FIX users, of which there were a lot at one time.

MTS and Beeline did not resort to such measures as tuning old tariffs at the time of preparation of this material, for which subscribers are very grateful to them. But there are much more veiled and neat ways to raise communication prices without scaring off subscribers. Let's look at some of them.

Well, a very conventional unit

It has already been said that operators indicate their prices in different ways. Megafon is the only company that has completely switched to “rubles including VAT”. Beeline and MTS still have tariffs that are calculated in "dollars". The quotation marks are not accidental, because the dollar, according to the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, costs 26 rubles. 70 kop. (as of 13.07.06), and the conventional unit of mobile operators this summer stopped at 28.7, i.е. 2 rubles more. Of course, when calculating the cost of one minute of a call, this difference is insignificant, but if we compare the monthly income of operators in real dollars with conventional units, we get “strange mathematics.” For example, MTS profit per subscriber averages $6.5 per month . Thus, on the difference in rates, the subscriber loses only 12-13 rubles - nonsense! On the other hand, the subscriber base of MTS has more than 62 million users. A couple of clicks on the calculator and it becomes visible (of course, a very average) profit from such "conditions" - $ 28 million. And until all these more than conditional "dollars", "euro" and completely mysterious "cu ." will not leave the price lists and price lists (that is, until the beginning of 2007), we will have to diligently study the notorious "strange mathematics".

End of promotions, end of cheap services

The most inconspicuous and at the same time one of the most effective ways return of money, which began to actively leave with the introduction of CPP. MTS, for example, canceled the 50% discount on outgoing calls, replacing it with a 25% discount. And for those who chose a 50% discount on incoming calls, the compensation is even less - outgoing calls will be only 15% cheaper. Those who are not satisfied with this situation are given the opportunity to try the new prices in action until the end of the summer and, if they do not want to continue the contract, terminate it without penalty.

Payment mobile Internet has also undergone some changes. For example, Megafon used to count GPRS Internet traffic as follows: once every 3 minutes with a rounding accuracy of 8 kb. Now the count of incoming/outgoing data has changed: once every 15 minutes rounding up will be done with an accuracy of up to 100 KB. Thus, those who use GPRS to browse sites, read live magazine, etc. may not notice much of a difference. But young people sitting in ICQ and checking their mail every half an hour will fork out very well. For example, for checking empty mailbox 48 times a day before, the user gave some 65 kopecks. per day. Now such a pleasure will cost at least 7 full-weight rubles.

Not without sin and "bee" operator. From July 1, you cannot make a “favorite” number if it is not a Beeline number. So now you can talk at half the cost only with subscribers from your own network. But for some users, this is not so important, because there are quite a few tariffs in which outgoing calls to mobiles within the network cost half as much as calls to phones of other operators.

CCD

Another trick, which is not new in principle, is the connection fee.

Not that it was somehow veiled, hidden - no, just a CCD gives the possibility of a strong advertising campaign. Indeed, in commercials, on posters and on the radio, only the cost of a minute is reported, which can be really small. And then it turns out that just as much (if not more) will have to pay for the fact that you just heard a voice from the speaker. It should be noted that the CCD works very well in tandem with per-minute billing, because most calls usually do not exceed 1-3 minutes. Information has recently appeared that MTS is introducing CCD at old, archived tariffs. It is assumed that the connection fee will be 35-50 kopecks. Nothing is indicated on the site in the "archive" yet, so it's worth waiting for either an update of this section, or an official statement from the company about this. But if you remember the Jeans tariff, which was very popular at the time, with per-second billing, then its profitability, in fact, will not decrease - because earlier you had to pay 10-15 cents for a minute of an incoming call, but now it will be free. So Jeans subscribers should be advised to slightly change their habits and abandon the usual 5-second conversations in favor of longer conversations. But until official data appears, we will not guess on the coffee grounds.

It also became known that Beeline is going to introduce a connection fee on its old archival tariffs. It is not yet clear how much it will be, but from the very beginning of the introduction of the CPP, VimpelCom said that 95 kopecks is not a serious compensation. However, only the old dollar tariffs will suffer. The new ruble line has so far remained unchanged.

Urban mobile - not quite urban anymore

Another problem that was brewing before the introduction of CPP, but was resolved painlessly - direct mobile numbers. It goes without saying that a person calling from a landline phone should not pay for a call to the same seven-digit landline number. On the other hand, according to the new law, the owner of a mobile phone also does not owe anyone money for incoming call. The question is: who pays for the connection? And how to distinguish a seven-digit mobile phone from a seven-digit landline? MGTS does not have such an opportunity. Therefore, the Ministry of Communications passed a new law that all seven-digit numbers, in fact, belong to the city network, and all mobile numbers must be 10-digit. Thus, it becomes possible to distinguish between calls to mobile and other home calls. However, pick up beautiful numbers no one will have subscribers - everyone will be given a federal "understudy", to which calls will be forwarded. Those. if you had the number 555-55-55, then the MGTS subscriber calling from a landline phone is redirected to the federal number (***) 555-55-55, where *** is the prefix of the mobile operator. It is interesting that the caller still does not pay a penny, and the money is withdrawn from the owner of the mobile phone for the so-called forwarding.

We see such a situation in Megafon and Beeline tariffs. MTS, which has been very unambiguous about the introduction of such measures, has so far refrained from them. So if you are the owner of at least the simplest contract like "Profi 30", but with a city number, all incoming ones are really free for you. With Beeline, the situation is the same: for all tariffs of the “Live Easy” line, a fee of 10 cents per minute of forwarding is set, which in terms of rubles with VAT will be 3 rubles. 39 kop. For the "Free Style" tariff, forwarding is free, which is not surprising - that's why it is unlimited.

Megaphone is not that rich at all tariff plans, providing the possibility of a direct landline number. To be more specific, there are two of them: "Challenge 2XL" and "Challenge Xtreme". For both, a fee of 3 rubles per forwarded minute is set. Interestingly, "Extreme" is an unlimited tariff, and you will have to pay for incoming calls with a direct number. Thus, it turns out a funny situation: an Xtreme subscriber, receiving a call from a landline phone, will say “I’ll call you right now!”, Because the outgoing phone of the MGTS network is free for him. And this is in the era of "All Incoming Free".

However, not quite "All"

It is worth considering also those moments when the owner of a federal mobile phone will still have to pay for an incoming call. Thankfully, there aren't many of them.

· When you receive a call using the "Call at the expense of the called subscriber" service. In the West, such a service has existed for many years and is called Collect Call. A person who, for some reason, does not have money, but needs to call him urgently, dials the operator's number, says the subscriber's phone. The subscriber is called by the operator, who offers to accept the conversation “at his own expense” or refuse it. When this service will become available is not yet entirely clear, but it will be introduced in our country.

· If you got a call back from a paid help desk where you ordered information. For example, from 009.

· If you get a call from a number that has an “access code” (like a hotline number like 8-800-…). Perhaps your friend works on one of these phones, and then a call from him to you will be paid for both. Although, of course, rather you call hotline than she you.

· Roaming. Everything is clear here, for more details about prices, see above.

Who made life easier?

The introduction of CPP is undoubtedly a natural and logical step. A step towards a civilized, developed mobile telecommunications market. It is still too early to judge how civilized the implementation of the new bill will be. It is most likely that the rates of both urban networks and mobile operators will change. Those prices for communication that we are offered today are only preliminary. Before we see (and feel for ourselves) the final tariffs, more than a dozen market studies should be done. So for now, you should rejoice at the quite acceptable one and a half rubles and not at all draconian measures on the part of mobile operators. And life has become easier mainly for those who receive calls, which, in principle, is obvious. Those who solve problems, help with problems and just listen a lot. Of course, life has become easier for owners of direct numbers and their friends with landlines. And, of course, life has become easier wired telephone networks, which, although a little, but from every minute of the conversation earn.

Results

Probably, the main conclusion for today can be considered the fact that the abolition of incoming fees did not make anyone much worse. Yes, someone will have to shell out an extra few hundred rubles a month for calls to mobile phones, but you should be glad that this is not a few hundred dollars (which, as you know, are not superfluous). Everything is much better than it could be!
