Her an undeniable advantage is the fact that you can send and receive a telegram not only in large cities, but also in small settlements. Rostelecom provides a telegram sending service and in this article we will look at how this can be done and at what cost.

The history of the telegram

A telegram is translated from greek means a message that travels far. A similar message is transmitted by wire or by telephone, and a similar type of communication arose in the distant 18th century. The first telegraph machines printed text on a special tape, which was then pasted on a sheet of paper so that the recipient could read it easily, but already in the 80s of the 20th century telegraph machines printed the message on the paper itself and they began to be called teletypes. Two scientists are considered the inventors of telegrams: Pavel Schilling from Russia and Samuel Morse from the USA.

How to send a telegram through Rostelecom

As we have already mentioned, Rostelecom still provides the service of sending long-distance and international telegrams. Such a message can be sent both within the country and to the countries of near and far abroad. It is difficult to find such a place in the world where it would be inaccessible telegraph communication... You can send a telegram to Rostelecom:

• at the nearest telecommunication office
• dictate by phone
• at the nearest post office

The most popular way to send a telegram is the second option, since there is no need to go somewhere and spend your time standing in queues. You can send a telegram both with home phoneor from the phone of the organization where you work. Another plus is the ability to send a message at night, when all post offices are simply closed. The following types of telegrams are accepted by phone:

• with delivery on art form
• with delivery on a music form
• with acknowledgment of receipt
• with delivery on time specified by the sender

The first two types belong to the Lux or Lux-M category and are used for congratulatory messages to please a person with an unusual telegram design. The shipping fee will be included on your phone bill. Please note that a telegram cannot be sent from a mobile phone.

Still, many users are interested in the possibility of sending a telegram via the Internet online. Here we will have to upset you, since such a possibility does not exist and you will have to use one of the above methods.

As for international telegrams, they are sent in authorized languages \u200b\u200busing letters of the Latin alphabet.

The cost of sending a telegram through Rostelecom

Let's take a look at the tariffs for sending a telegram using Rostelecom. As an example, we will consider the Volgograd Region (prices may differ in your region, check them on the official website of the company).

The cost of each word of a telegram in the "ordinary" category is 2 rubles 90 kopecks... If you are sending an "urgent" telegram, then every word in it will cost you 4 rubles 50 kopecks... In addition, the telegraph fee will be from 30 to 40 rubles, and another 120 rubles will be charged from you for the notification of delivery. If you used an artistic or musical form, then you will have to pay from 20 to 80 rubles for it. As you can see, the prices are very affordable and will not hit your pocket in a serious way.

Delivery times and methods of tracking Rostelecom telegrams

As for the delivery time of your telegram, they depend on the type of telegram you have chosen. A regular message is delivered within 8 hours, and an urgent message will be received in 4 hours. The maximum time after which the recipient will read your message is 12 hours.

It is impossible to trace the telegram to Rostelecom as a parcel that you sent through the post of Russia. There are no special such services, since a track is not assigned to a telegram. If your telegram was not delivered on time, then its location can be established by a company employee, but such cases are extremely rare, since delivery times are quite short.

There are different occasions in life, and sometimes you need to quickly send a message to another subscriber, but the funds at this time may not be on the account. How to be in such a situation? It's quite simple, because there are many ways how you can send an SMS message to another subscriber's number for free. And here the operator to which such a message will be sent will not be quite important.

So, imagine the following situation - you have no money on your balance, and at the same time you need to contact other subscribers. The only way to contact him is his phone. You just need to know his phone number and have access to the Internet, and you can send SMS message to Rostelecom for freeand any other operator. To do this, you can use free services that are publicly available on the network, through which you can send SMS to any mobile operator in Russia.

Send message via mysmsbox

In the first case, you can use the mysmsbox resource, which allows you to send messages to cellular operators... What you need to do to send, just go to the site and fill out the form that opens. The text of the message has a limited number of characters, you should pay attention to this, since the number of characters indicated there cannot be exceeded.

A space is also considered a character. If you use this service often enough, then you need to register, in which case you will have a history of sent messages and addresses (numbers). In the future, you will be able to use these numbers, as well as the text of already sent messages, which will reduce the time for writing it. The user number must be specified in international format, with a country code.

Send free SMS via Smsia

There is another site that can be used as an alternative to the first. If the first site doesn't work. You can always use the second one. The sending procedure looks the same:

1. Go to company website
2. Write message text
3. Specify recipient number
4. Enter confirmation code (protection against robots)
5. send him

By the way, the number should also be indicated in the international format. For those who do not know how it is, the number is indicated through +7 ... The whole procedure takes no more than a minute, but there may be delays in its delivery.

There are several reasons for this, and the main one is the send queue. Besides you, this service is also used by other users who also send their text messages. In this regard, a queue for sending is formed.

How to send "call me back"

There is another option, but here you will not have the opportunity to write exactly what you want. In this case, a message of a certain sample is sent, which you send from your phone, this can be done even when your phone has a negative balance. Its text will be as follows " Please call me back". Your number, date and time of sending such a message will also be indicated. Seeing such a message, the user can call you back, or just ignore it. So there is a stick in both ends. To send you need to use one of the following methods:

1. Dial the number 123* and use voice prompts
2. Dial USSD request * 118 * subscriber number # and press the call button

It should be noted that the number of such requests per day is limited.

Send from Rostelecom website

It is possible to use the company's website directly, because all the services described above are sent through the main website. Thus, you can simply go to rt.ru and go to the tab "Services"... There the form for submitting will open.

The whole procedure comes down to filling out this form and sending the SMS itself to the subscriber. The number must also be entered in international format. Sending will not be instant, that is, delivery. Since there is still the same line of subscribers who filled out the form before you, trying to send their SMS.
