Navigation

Among Russian mobile communications, operators such as Beeline, Megafon and MTS stand out (Tele2 is also a popular company). The majority of subscribers belong to these companies. Other operators operate in certain cities and regions of Russia, having a significantly smaller number of clients.

Each operator has its own numbers associated with certain regions of the Russian Federation. To find out which region a number belongs to, you need to go to the Internet and enter in one of the search resources (for example, “Yandex”) “identify region by mobile number.” Next, we will explain what distinguishing features a mobile phone number has.

IN Russian Federation codes mobile operators patented three-digit numbers that begin with " 9 " The three-digit number is preceded by international dialing code Russia - " +7 " (or " 8 "). After the three-digit number comes the seven-digit number of each individual subscriber.

Room type – “ +7(8) 9xx xxx xx xx».

Each operator is assigned its own personal three-digit codes (“ 91x" - "MTS"; " 92x" - "Megafon"; " 96x" - "Beeline"). In addition, each operator has a different range of numbers for each region - for example, a three-digit code " 905 " along with seven-digit numbers from " 2500000 " to " 2899999 "tells us that such mobile numbers assigned to Beeline for the city of St. Petersburg. Same code " 905 " with a range from " 1830000 " to " 1849999 » - Beeline for the Ulyanovsk region.

It is difficult to imagine a person today who can live without cellular communications. Every day people call each other, send millions of messages, go online using mobile phones. Mobile operators are responsible for the quality of communication, cost and package of services.

List of telecom operators in Russia

There is no single operator responsible for mobile communications. There are more than a hundred active mobile operators in Russia. Some regional providers are subsidiaries of large Russian mobile operators.

According to statistics, the leaders among companies providing mobile communication services include 3 - the “big three” providers - MTS, Megafon, Beeline. These companies have the largest number of subscribers, the largest coverage area, and a wide range of services.

1. MTS. The only “cell phone” that is among the 20 world leaders. At the end of 2017, it has the largest number of subscribers in Russia (more than 78 million people), and taking into account the CIS countries, the number of subscribers is more than 100 million. It has the most extensive network of communication stores in the country (more than 5,700 points).
2. Megaphone. There are more than 76 million subscribers in Russia, and there is great demand for Megafon SIM cards in Abkhazia, Tajikistan, and South Ossetia. The company positions itself as the operator with the fastest mobile Internet.
3. Beeline. The VimpelCom OJSC brand is among the top hundred recognizable brands in the world. The number of subscribers in Russia reaches 59 million people, but Beeline leads in the number of roaming countries and partners. This allows you to stay connected while traveling and save on roaming services.

The top popular operators include companies that are not included in the “big three”, but in terms of popularity they constitute significant competition. The rating of cellular operators includes smaller companies, new ones, and regional ones. The very concept of the “Big Three” is becoming obsolete, because Other providers are also conquering the market:

• Tinkoff Mobile is one of the newcomers to the communications market, which offers its users many pleasant bonuses: selection of an individual tariff without unnecessary services and pitfalls, beautiful rooms, affordable roaming. Also, importantly, the operator provides high-quality communication. And when you replenish your account for the first time, you will receive.
• Tele2. At the end of 2017, this is the only company that increased the number of subscribers. It has been operating as a federal Russian operator since 2014 after receiving a license for communications in 3G format. The operator's audience is at least 40 million people in 65 regions of the country. The most active subscribers are in Moscow and the Moscow region, in St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions. Ranks 3rd in Russia in terms of number base stations, is distinguished by fast mobile Internet due to low network load, as well as affordable package tariffs with the Internet.
• Yota is a virtual cellular operator. The brand has existed since 2008. Powered by Megafon technical infrastructure. The subscriber base is about 1.5 million people. Until January 2017, the only operator with unlimited access to mobile Internet, today tariff line includes only products with limited data for smartphones, and for tablet and computer there are offers with unlimited internet, the price of which depends on the speed.
• Rostelecom is an Internet provider and company providing home wireline services, cable television. The company offers its subscribers cellular communications in GSM 900/1800 format and mobile Internet.
• "Motiv" serves only 4 regions in the Ural Federal District. This brand has existed since 2002. The company provides communications in GPRS / EDGE, IVR, MMS, SMS, USSD formats, but is not represented in Moscow.
• "SMARTS" is a Samara company. Communications in Russia are provided to subscribers from the Volga region and central regions of the country. The list of services includes GPRS, CSD data transmission, communication in GSM-900, GSM-1800 standards, SMS, MMS transmission.

Before choosing a cellular operator, each client must outline his own range of preferences and outline the requirements for mobile communications. Each provider is good in its own way, best operator cellular communications can also have regional status if the package of services it provides meets the client’s needs.

A list of communications within Russia, a phone code and a comparison of operators will help you choose the right provider.

Map of mobile operators

Communications companies are sensitive to increasing customer demands. Now it is no longer only major players in the telecommunications market that offer high-quality communication coverage. The emergence of new towers makes it possible to provide communications to even the most remote settlements; you can now use a mobile phone in the metro and in high-rise buildings. Operators provide not only high-quality and uninterrupted telephone coverage, but also quick access to the Internet via 3G and 4G networks.

Each company is fighting to retain existing subscribers and expand its consumer base, so in almost every city there are salons where customers can not only purchase a starter package, but also receive qualified assistance or answers to their questions.

Each Russian company There is a database of 11-digit numbers by which you can determine the operator and regions of connection of the number. Not all subscribers took advantage of the opportunity to switch from one operator to another, which appeared after the abolition of “mobile slavery,” so the table of codes helps determine where the unknown incoming “came” from.

If the number is registered in Moscow and the Moscow region, then the unknown number incoming call easy to define:

Beeline does not have a clear connection to the region, like other large operators. The company has separate codes only for the Far East and Primorsky Territory. But Yota’s numbers are not tied to the region; they all start with the code 999.

In the North-West region and St. Petersburg

Southern Federal District, including the North Caucasus

The tables indicate both codes designed for all regions and those that apply only in specified city, area. But large operators have codes for certain areas, i.e. cellular services will be cheaper only when used in your home region.

The place of registration of numbers with codes 950, 951, 952 at Tele2 can be Irkutsk region, Khanty-Mansiysk region, Lipetsk region, Kursk region, Perm region, Chelyabinsk region, Kemerovo region, Republic of Buryatia, Republic of Mordovia, Tyumen region and Udmurtia.
Large operators have allocated separate codes for the Urals: 922 - Megafon, 982 - MTS.

What numbers do Russian operators use?

The telephone number of any Russian operator begins with 8; to dial in the international format you need to dial +7. However, inside Russia, the call will be equally successful when dialing from both eight and +7.

After international code followed by prefix numbers - this is the DEF code used in mobile networks. The prefixes of Russian operators begin with 9, i.e. the general form of the code is always this: 9хх. For companies providing mobile communication services, one or more such codes are allocated. This makes it possible to determine the operator and region of the caller: 926, 916, 977 are Moscow numbers, and 911, 921 or 981 are St. Petersburg numbers.

For the “mobile three” there are a series of codes in which the second digits also match. For example, 91x or 98x are MTS numbers, and 92x or 93x are Megafon numbers.

The next 7 digits are the subscriber number, by which it is impossible to determine belonging to the region of residence or provider. The range of Beeline numbers can indicate region membership if the same prefix is ​​used. Code 905 is used in St. Petersburg (range from 250-00-00 to 289-99-99), as well as in the Ulyanovsk region. (range from 183-00-00 to 184-99-99).

But sometimes only the initial digits of the subscriber number help determine the operator. For example, DEF code 958 is used by more than 20 operators, including small companies (covering 1 region and a capacity of 10,000 numbers) and large ones (several dozen regions and hundreds of thousands of numbers).

As an example: the prefix of the TransTelecom company numbers is 7958, but since the company serves 30 regions of the country, you need to know the initial digits of the subscriber number in order to determine the origin of the outgoing call (-00х-хх-хх - Bashkiria, and -03х-хх-хх - Kaliningrad region, etc.).

The same prefix is ​​used by Gazprom Telecom, Business Network Irkutsk, State Unitary Enterprise Smolny Automatic Telephone Station, Interregional TransitTelecom, Systematics, T2 Mobile, Central Telegraph, etc.

The numbering of DEF codes also changes as needed. Moscow MTS numbers were transferred from 495 to 985, and Megafon numbers - from 495 to 925.

The telephone code used only by Megafon is 920. The number capacity is more than 10 million, and numbers with this code are used in 17 regions of the Russian Federation.

The encoding used by Tele2 is 900. But the same code is used by 16 other Russian operators of different calibers in terms of capacity and regional coverage - Antares, Arkhangelsk Mobile Networks", "Ekaterinburg-2000", "Kemerovo Mobile Communications", "Sky-1800", etc.

"Tele2" is the largest of the companies that use the prefix 900: "T2 Mobile" - these are 17 regions and 3,140,000 numbers (the region is determined by the digits of the subscriber number), "Tele2-Omsk" - 3 regions (Jewish Autonomous Region, Omsk Region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) and 210,000 numbers, Tele2-St. Petersburg - 1 million numbers for 4 regions (Vologda region, Karelia, Pskov region, Leningrad region and St. Petersburg).

Best rates

Ratings of companies providing cellular communication services are compiled not only taking into account the number of subscribers and the scope of the coverage area, but also the list of services provided by the company and the tariffs established for each item or the entire package.

Advertising campaigns of the four leading providers (MTS, Megafon, Tele2, Beeline) are aimed at attracting subscribers, therefore TV commercials vying with each other to prove that the tariffs of this or that company are the most favorable. Telecom operators' tariffs dynamically reflect company strategy, consumer preferences and industry trends. At the same time, they operate in parallel archived tariffs until the subscriber switches to a new price offer.

Budget rates

It’s not difficult to get lost in such variety, but there is no universal tariff plan. It is more convenient and cheaper for subscribers to purchase a range of services - tariff packages that combine, for example, voice communication, SMS and mobile Internet. In addition to the services included in the package, you need to study the limits on them (GB, free minutes, number of SMS) and determine the needs of the subscriber (mobile Internet, calls to home network, roaming, etc.).

I have been following new developments in the field for many years now. mobile technologies. Previously, this was my hobby, but now it has grown into a professional blog, where I am happy to share the information I have accumulated with you. All instructions, life hacks, selections best programs and tariff plans I checked personally on myself.

Read which mobile operators operate in Russia. Their features and a table of codes allocated to each cellular operator. There are several hundred companies in Russia that provide mobile communications services to subscribers. But most people use SIM cards from five operators: Beeline, MTS, Megafon, Tele 2, Yota. They offer the largest coverage area and a variety of tariffs, among which everyone will find something convenient for themselves.

Each operator uses several of the 79 codes to identify him. They are located at the beginning of the phone number and start with 9. To understand which mobile operator is calling you from, you can use the search system. We will tell you in more detail about each representative of the cellular communications market, as well as about the codes used by them.

Table of the most popular mobile operators in Russia:

Beeline

One of the oldest mobile operators in Russia, operating in the country since 1992, previously had a recognizable logo in the form of a bee. After rebranding, I kept the yellow and black horizontal stripes placed in a circle on the logo. In addition to mobile communications and Internet services, this operator provides Internet lines to users' homes. Customers can also receive digital television this way.

Its main advantage over other operators is its special tariffs - they allow you to receive several services at once and pay for them from one account. Most often, these tariff plans are used by families. It is convenient for them to use this operator for several reasons: calls within the network are free, payment is made from a single account, discounts on the Internet and television.

Most of the current tariff plans have the word “All” in their name. The operator offers packages of minutes, SMS messages and Internet traffic for a fixed price. After the packages expire, you will have to pay not only a subscription fee every day, but also money for the minutes, SMS or traffic spent. Most often, SMS messages run out, since the operator offers up to 300 of them in all tariffs.

In total, the Beeline telecom operator has reserved 24 codes.

Tele 2

This mobile operator does not operate throughout Russia, but in only 65 regions, but in the coming year it may expand to more regions. Towers will appear even in remote corners of our country. This is due to the fact that in 2018 – early 2019 it is planned to close the deal to merge two companies Tele 2 and Rostelecom.

The operator has two features - it was the first to begin transferring the remaining packages to another month, as well as the ability to use social networks and instant messengers even when negative balance. It also attracted the attention of subscribers due to its moderate pricing policy. The most accessible Internet services on it are actively promoted by the operator. The subscription fee on most tariff plans is charged at a time, which is convenient for many clients - it is enough to top up your account once to use the services for a whole month.

The most popular tariff is “My Tele 2”. It offers a relatively small Internet package, but you can use social networks and instant messengers unlimitedly. It is possible to customize the tariff plan to suit your needs. The cost depends on the region of connection - on average from 10 rubles per day. Also popular tariffs are “Black”, “Very Black” and “My Conversation”. For those who prefer to pay only for the resources actually used, the “Classic” plan is available, without subscription fee. A new product from this operator is the “Super Tariff”, offering unlimited Internet.

Today, 18 codes are reserved for Tele 2 subscribers. The operator received part of them after the takeover of small regional companies. If the merger with Rostelecom is successful, the list of codes will be replenished with several more values: 955, 970, 971. The merged company will operate under the Rostelecom brand. In addition to mobile Internet and cellular services, the company will offer standard telephony and will retain its position as a provider of wired Internet and digital television.

Megaphone

Megafon has been operating in Russia since 1993. At the peak of the spread mobile phones the company was successful only among students, as it allowed you to transfer money from one account to another, and also gave you the opportunity to earn bonuses in the form of real account replenishment. Now they began to choose Megafon for its wide coverage of territories; it was the first to place towers where only regional operators worked. In some remote corners, Megafon appeared first.

Those who often travel to neighboring countries like this operator for its coverage area. It operates in South Ossetia, Tajikistan and Abkhazia. At the same time there is special rates for travelers, allowing you to save money while traveling. The most interesting is the “Turn On” tariff line. Among them, each client can find a suitable option for themselves:

“Chat” – for lovers of the most popular social networks and messengers, their use is not limited by the packet amount of traffic;

“Watch” – for watching videos over the Internet: up to 20 GB via the Youtube service, unlimited access to the application for watching TV and 50 channels, 15 GB for using the mobile Internet for other purposes;

“Listen” - for music lovers with unlimited access to music applications and instant messengers, up to 10 GB is given for using other Internet capabilities.

Following other large operators, Megafon offered other package tariffs with a main focus on Internet traffic. The disadvantage is that traffic is often counted not by page loads, but by the time spent on the network.

It is believed that this operator launched a subsidiary company Yota, which initially provided subscribers only with services mobile Internet. This statement appeared due to the fact that Yota partially uses the power of Megafon’s towers, and the codes of some numbers of both operators are the same.

Megafon subscribers use one of 25 codes. Please note that some codes are the same for subscribers of different operators. This is due to the fact that it was not initially assumed that cellular communications would become so popular and subscribers were given numbers with codes from the top ten. Then a user identification system appeared and the codes became more diverse. Now you can determine which operator the number belongs to using special services. Their algorithms consider the subscriber ID holistically.

MTS

Another company that appeared in 1993 was Mobile Tele Systems. This is exactly what the abbreviation MTS stands for. This operator was the first to become available to a wide range of subscribers - it won them over tariff plan"Jeans." This operator was also the first to spend money on advertising, which reached subscribers everywhere - even in box-office Russian films: “New Year’s Tariff”, “Night Watch” and others.

The coverage area of ​​this Russian operator extends far beyond the country. His SIM cards will be valid in most neighboring countries. Now a bank has also been opened on the basis of the operator, as well as retail outlets, selling accessories and smartphones. The peculiarity of such stores is that they were the first to enter into contracts with equipment manufacturers, allowing them to produce branded products. The company's latest innovation was the launch satellite television at prices below market prices.

Among MTS tariffs there are a lot of offers for subscribers with different needs. For modems, the most popular is MTS Connect-4, which is a constructor tariff. With the help of various services, it is converted into a tariff that covers the user’s traffic needs. No less convenient is the tariff for MTS Tablet tablets. It can also be used for voice communication.

The most popular offer for mobile phones is “Unlimited”, which became famous thanks to unusual advertising and a good offer for subscribers - all types of communication on it had practically no restrictions. In 2018, Tariffishche competed with this plan. He is no less attractive. But this operator has a significant drawback - the terms of service often change without notifying the client. Disputes also often arise with clients regarding charges, which are usually resolved in favor of the company.

If you choose this operator, you will receive a SIM card with one of 25 initial codes. The distribution of figures occurs by regions of presence.
