City number - what is it?

In Soviet times, getting your own city phone number was very problematic. It was necessary not only to apply for the connection, but also to defend the queue for several years. Today, there is no problem either with the connection of a landline phone to an apartment or with mobile communication. Communication has become an integral part of our lives.

To conduct business negotiations and develop business, many operators offer to connect the city number. What is it?

A city number is a number belonging to a certain regional prefix. For example, most Moscow phones start at 495. These numbers are also called the city code. After it goes the seven-digit value xxx-xx-xx or six-digit xx-xx-xx. These 6-7 digits are the city number.

Cellular operators usually issue federal numbers such as + 79xx xxx-xx-xx. This is a long sequence of numbers, which is difficult to remember. In addition, a call from a city phone to a federal number is considered by the operator as long distance, and the payment of a minute of conversation automatically increases, although you and the other person are in the same city. In order to simplify such negotiations, mobile companies offer their clients to attach to the cellular direct city number (also called virtual).

This service is suitable for businessmen who do not like to sit in the office or because of circumstances who are on business trips. A person moves around and talks on the cell phone, followed by a direct city number. When changing an office or an apartment, the client does not need to change it. If the subscriber for some reason wants to stop communicating with suppliers, customers, former employees, etc., he simply refuses this service and communicates through federal mobile communications. Undesirable persons, therefore, without knowing his cell, can not communicate with him.

To buy a virtual city number is not difficult. You can buy it from a mobile phone shop, order it on the mobile operator's website and pay for it on the Internet, and then just come to the nearest service provider's point of sale and arrange the documents - to whom it is more convenient.

MTS allows you to connect the city number yourself by sending SMS, using the "Mobile Assistant" or by typing a certain combination of numbers on the phone's keyboard. The number is connected when receiving an application sent by e-mail or through the "Personal Manager" (MTS service).

Beeline connects direct city numbers in 50 regions of Russia. The operator can connect both one and several numbers, and also provide a multichannel line. The latter option is suitable for subscribers in offices where there is a "hot line" or several secretaries working for an advertising project.

The company Megaphone recently began to connect to the federal telephone number of the city. You can order the service on the company's website, in the "Pick a number" section. The system itself will find the best option for you.

The cellular operator "TELE2" connects the service only in its stores. The number consists of 6 digits, you can choose the combination of the subscriber at your own discretion.
