I would like to share my impressions about this device. The device was bought from some alcoholic for 500 rubles as an ordinary dialer and a client in VK. It turned out that the phone was not made for the average user at all, but apparently for fans of extreme sports, miners, crane operators who work on the construction of skyscrapers, since I have no doubt that it would also withstand a fall from such a height (more on that later), perhaps for cavers, or people studying volcanoes. This little, ever-glitching, unprepossessing and fat handsome man provided me with incommensurable help in the auto-mechanical business, shining his, for some unknown reason, always fading flashlight on the bowels of my car, I have no doubt that, if necessary, I could jack the car using it as a spacer. leave phone

The tariff option "United Country" (its connection is not charged) makes all incoming calls in internal roaming free for MTS subscribers. This follows from the operator's message. Without the option, the price of a minute of conversation in internal roaming in MTS costs 8.90 rubles. Already, incoming calls in roaming within Russia are free for subscribers of most Smart tariffs and MTS Ultra tariffs, says Dmitry Solodovnikov, the operator's representative. The new option will reset the cost of calls while traveling for more than half of the company's subscribers, including corporate ones. Due to this measure, the operator will be able to "talk" customers who have not previously used communication services while traveling in Russia, he says.

Vyacheslav Nikolayev, MTS Mass Market Marketing Director, explains the abolition of fees for incoming calls in domestic roaming by the fact that the demand for this service and its importance for operators in terms of income has increased. Since the beginning of 2014, the monthly growth of traffic, primarily voice, in domestic roaming has been up to 10%, he says. Growth will continue with the onset of the holiday season: this summer, many Russians will refuse to travel abroad, preferring holidays in Russia, Nikolaev believes.

Tariff options with free incoming calls in domestic roaming are also offered by such operators as Vimpelcom, Megafon and Tele2. However, competitors' options almost always provide a daily subscription fee for the opportunity to receive free incoming calls, while their connection is paid, the analyst notes. Mobile Research Group Sergey Potresov. So, according to the standard tariff, a minute of an incoming call in domestic roaming costs 9.95 rubles for VimpelCom, 9.99 rubles for MegaFon, and 5 rubles for Tele2. Thus, MTS was the first to refuse the fee. In this regard, United Country is a much more interesting and new product for the market, Potresov believes.

Tele2 has a Zero Everywhere service - it is available on all tariffs and allows you to receive any incoming calls while roaming in Russia for free, as well as call throughout Russia at a rate of 2 rubles. per minute, says company representative Konstantin Prokshin. The subscription fee is 3 rubles. per day. The first connection to the option is free, but the second and subsequent ones - 30 rubles.

Megafon has tariff option“Be like at home”, which allows you to use all the services at the usual home tariffs while traveling in Russia, says Aliya Beketova, a representative of the operator. The option applies to both incoming and outgoing calls, as well as sms and the Internet, and is available on all tariff plans, including corporate ones, she notes. Its connection will cost the subscriber 30 rubles, and subscription fee- at 15 rubles. per day.

A significant part of the package tariff plans, which are used by almost one in five cellular subscriber"Vimpelcom", provides free incoming calls in intranet roaming, as well as a certain limit of free minutes for outgoing calls, says the representative of the operator Anna Aibasheva. And you don’t need to connect anything, she adds. Vimpelcom has the option "My country", the cost of connection to which is 25 rubles, the first minute of the call will cost 3 rubles. At the same time, from the second minute, the cost of an incoming call will be free. There is also no subscription fee.

The representatives of the operators interviewed by Vedomosti do not disclose revenue from domestic roaming. Analysts polled by Vedomosti agree that these incomes are not high. According to the CEO of iKS-Consulting Maxim Savvatin, this is 1-2% of the revenue of each of the cellular companies " big three Telecom Daily CEO Denis Kuskov also says it's less than 2%.

MTS's revenues from international roaming in 2014 amounted to approximately 8.3% of the operator's revenue, according to 20-F statements intended for the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Vimpelcom and Megafon do not disclose data on income from international roaming, but analysts previously polled by Vedomosti said that this is no more than 2-3%, depending on the operator. But income from international roaming will fall in 2015: according to data from Rosstat and Rostourism, from January to April 2014, the number of Russians traveling abroad decreased by 30% month on month, notes Kuskov. But the number of trips to Russia has increased by 25%, he claims, referring to his own data.

Previously, Kuskov predicted a decline in international roaming revenues by 30-35%, Savvatin - by 20-30%. At the same time, according to Kuskov's forecast, revenues from domestic roaming in 2015 may grow by 20% year-on-year. Savvatin also predicts 20% growth.

Anton Pogrebinsky, partner of AC&M-Consulting, believes that the zeroing of MTS fees for incoming calls in domestic roaming should encourage subscribers to use the operator's services more in general. The expectation that a person will not only receive calls, but also call himself, send sms, etc., and not turn off the phone during the holidays, will not purchase a local SIM card in another region, he suggests.

In addition, calls incoming to the MTS network will not be free for other operators: the state-established fee for incoming call from the network of one operator to the network of another - 0.95 rubles. per minute without VAT, reminds an employee of a partner company of several operators.

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 of fixed-line subscribers with subscribers mobile communications having direct subscriber numbers will remain unchanged, that is, they will correspond to the tariffs for local telephone connections.

Many subscribers cellular communication expressed concern 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 a "new business model," Belasheva said. At the same time, she acknowledged that the increase in tariffs is 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 of long negotiations and a kind of "tug-of-war" compensation was also determined for 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 everyone telephone operators Russia is generally 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 by the Federal Tariff Service, MTS is going to introduce a connection fee in a number of tariffs at a 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 traffic, and more than half of our subscribers use the 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 using an example 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. It is interesting, however, that even with two half-hour calls a day, the monthly fee no longer compensates for the cost of interconnection. 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 random, because the dollar, according to the exchange rate Central Bank RF, 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, there will be a rounding in big side accurate 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, it's just that the CCD makes it possible for 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. Recently there was information that MTS introduces CCDs on old, archival 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, no one will take beautiful numbers from subscribers - everyone will be given a federal "understudy", to which calls will be forwarded. Those. if you had a 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 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 fixed phones. 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!

To prohibit incoming calls, you will need to create a list of those users that you do not want to hear - the so-called "black" list. You can enter absolutely all contacts into it, thereby prohibiting incoming calls from familiar faces. The blacklist option can be found in basic settings phone, and newer models even have advanced features. If this option is not available on your device, you can use third party applications or mobile operator services to block incoming calls. Let's take a closer look at how the blacklist works and what to do if such an option is not provided on your phone.
