7 1 ### ### #### .

International calls from the USA

Today no one can be surprised by unlimited mobile internet, which can be used even abroad at home. Regardless of the country, you can use instant messengers for free correspondence, calls, and even video calls. However, for this it is necessary to use the messenger for both interlocutors.

Today we'll talk about profitable calls to US mobile phone numbers: how to dial the number correctly, what are the tariffs for Russians mobile operators to American phone numbers, and how you can save on such calls.

How to dial a number

First, we’ll tell you how to correctly dial a phone number when making a call. Format mobile number The USA is no different from the Russian one if you use the international set.

We recommend that you always save your phone number in international format via “plus”. This will allow you to always use the saved phone number, regardless of the network you are using mobile communications, as well as the country from which the call is made. When you save a number through 8, you can send messages and make a voice call only in Russia.

Let's look at the example of a US phone number - a mobile or landline number. After the plus sign, which is used to dial an international line, dial one - this is the international dialing code for the United States. It is with the number “1” that all American numbers begin. Then dial the operator or city code, and the subscriber’s telephone number.

Using an international dialing system will allow you not only to always dial the number correctly, but also to use it to communicate via Internet telephony, which also allows you to get favorable prices for calls with another country.

Please note that when making a call from your Russian number to the USA, it does not matter to you what digit the American number begins with. For international calls there is a single tariff that applies to the entire country. The only exceptions are the numbers of certain operators that are partners of Russian companies. However, there are no such directions among US operators.

How to save from mobile

Using optimizing services of cellular operators, you can get additional savings on communication services. And international challenges are no exception. Each operator offers options for profitable calls abroad, and some even have separate tariff packages.

As for calls to the USA, not all of the Big Four have special conditions available. So, Beeline has a special “Welcome” option, which the operator offers to use for free, but it does not apply to calls to America. Thus, if you have a Beeline number, then a minute will cost fifty rubles. This tariff can only be considered for calls in the most unforeseen situations.

But Tele2 offers the best prices. The youngest operator allows you to call the USA for eighty kopecks per minute. To do this you need to use additional option“Simple Geography.” The service is not free, and for each day of its use Rostov subscribers pay two rubles per day.

The first connection to the service is free, but for each subsequent connection a fee of thirty rubles is charged. To connect, use the command * 155 * 51#.

MTS and MegaFon subscribers can use special conditions for calls to the USA. To do this, you must use additional paid options. They differ in cost, but the tariff is the same. It does not depend on the direction of the call, and every minute of conversation with any American numbers costs five rubles.

MTS subscribers need to use the “Beneficial International Calls” service, which is paid monthly - fifty rubles. By dialing * 111 * 902 # on your number, you must wait for the service to connect, and then make calls at a single rate.

Megafon subscribers can use the “Call all countries” option. After dialing the command * 105 * 0081#, the cost of the service for the first thirty days in the amount of one hundred rubles is debited from the balance. In the future, access to favorable tariff in the USA will be carried out for daily fee three rubles.

If we compare the offers of the two operators, MTS offers a lower cost of using the service, however, MegaFon has lower prices for calls in certain directions.

Other options

Using instant messengers, you can make calls to the USA completely free of charge, paying only for Internet access. However, if the messenger you use is not installed on the American subscriber’s phone, then you can also save money by making calls directly to a cell number through it.

So, “Viber out” offers two options. The first is replenishing your balance. In this case, all calls to the USA will be charged at 1.38 rubles per minute, and you can talk at this rate as long as you have funds on your balance.

The second option will allow you to get unlimited calls for three dollars per month. In this case, you need to top up your balance every month to pay for this tariff - approximately two hundred rubles.

You can also use Skype, which offers a more flexible pricing policy. You can use either a per-minute payment, which is identical to the offer from Viber, or subscribe to unlimited calls.

By choosing unlimited, you can not only get significant savings and not worry about the minutes you use, but also get additional discounts on payments. Depending on the chosen period, you can save up to fifteen percent.

conclusions

For profitable and inexpensive calls in the USA, you can use both the services of cellular operators and Internet telephony. The choice depends on the required volume of calls for the month. If you need unlimited access to calls in this direction, we recommend using instant messengers. Most mobile operators provide unlimited access to them, and only the tariff is paid in the messenger itself.

If there are few calls, or unlimited is not needed, then you can use both instant messengers and services from cellular operators. The exception is Beeline, where calls to the USA at a low rate are not available even with additional services. The best price for calls to the USA is with Tele2.

Or acquaintances with whom you periodically have to communicate by phone, since this is by far the most mobile. Despite America's great distance from Russia, at any time, by making a phone call, we can hear the voice of the person we need from a distant country, because no distance is an obstacle to a phone call.

The only thing that is necessary in this case is to know exactly how to call America from Russia correctly, so as not to make a mistake. In general, this is not as difficult to do as it might seem at first glance. If you already know the number of a subscriber located far overseas, then you also need to find out the country code.
