Telephoning is one of the most characteristic features of modern civilization. The modern telephoning is characterized by a high degree of automation. The telephone is necessary means of communication in everyday life. It is also for professionals in business, commerce and administration who need to make and answer phone calls.

Almost every apartment in Russia has a telephone number. The city phone number itself usually has from 5 to 7 digits. All countries, regions and cities have their code; it is called an area code.

If for instance, you want to telephone your friend inside any Russian city, you should dial the phone number without any codes. Normally, all phone calls inside the city are free or cost very little. The charges are commonly covered by a regular fixed flat monthly payment.

If you make a phone call from Russia to any Russian city, you should dial 8, wait for a long tone, and then dial a phone number itself.

If you want to make a phone call from Russia to abroad, you should dial 8, wait for a long tone, then dial 10 (international access), then dial the code of the country you are phoning to, then dial the code of the city you are phoning to and then the city phone number. (8 10 33 62 237 65 36). Calls from the landline phone, usually have different rates at different time of a day. Usually a call costs cheaper if you call before 08:00 or after 20:00 on weekdays, or anytime at weekends.

To place a call from your home phone, you can do also with a phone card. All instructions how to make a call you can find on the card.

And one more variant to make a long-distance call – it is to ask the operator to connect you.

Besides the landline phones, there are the telephones in public places. They are phone boxes or pay phones. To place a call, you have to deposit a phone card into the slot and dial the number you wish to reach.

All over the world there is a cellular service. It was designed to keep people in touch, not just in the area, but throughout the world or the region. It is very convenient. You can pass or receive a message. Besides, you may also do some photos, listen to music, use the Internet and gain any information.

There is also a video telephone in the world. You can speak over the telephone and see a person who you speak with.
