Intercity is a call to a landline or mobile phone to another location in the country. In cost, it differs to a greater extent from urban conversations. Moreover, for mobile telephony, a call within one region is considered local. And for landline operators, calls within the settlements of one region are already intercity.
You will need
- - code of the desired city;
- - phone number;
- - Information about the long-distance service provider operating in your area.
Instruction manual
1
Check the long-distance mode. In settlements where digital telephone exchanges have not yet been introduced, connections are made by telephone operators. In this case, you will need to dial their service number and place an order, informing you of the city you need, the phone number and the estimated connection time. But in most places there is automatic long distance communication.
2
Remember if you changed the mode of intercity. A few years ago, subscribers were given the opportunity to constantly select a long-distance operator. To do this, you had to apply for the transition to hot-choice. In this case, with each call, you can choose the operator that provides the best rates or the best quality in this area. That is, when dialing a number in front of the area code, you need to add the digital designation of the company.
3
Dial for “Rostelecom” - 55, and for “MTT” - 53 for long-distance communication and 58 for international. In other words, in the first case, the set will look like this: 8 (dial tone) - 55 - settlement code - subscriber number. MTT needs to press the following buttons: 8 - 53 - telephone code of the city - subscriber number.

Pre-select, or pre-selection of the operator, allows you to simplify the call technology. In this case, you do not need to dial additional numbers, and after 8 matches the city code and phone number immediately follow. Most subscribers called before the reform and continues to use this service now.

Long-distance calls from a mobile phone are practically no different from those from landlines with a pre-selection of an operator. The only but significant difference is the tariffs. For mobile communications, they are much higher.
6
Use ip-telephony to save money if you talk a lot on long distance calls. This service is provided by many private companies. They gain access to existing long-distance communication channels using Internet channels. After purchasing a special card or signing an agreement, you follow the instructions provided. Typically, you have to dial a lot more numbers than with a regular long distance connection. It is especially effective to use ip-telephony for international calls.
