2006

The year 2006 marked major event in the telecommunications industry – the demonopolization of the long-distance communication market in the Russian Federation, which allowed subscribers to independently choose an operator for calls within Russia and abroad.

It was in this year that OJSC MTT became the first operator to break the monopoly of Rostelecom.

For MTT, 2005 was marked by the development of its own network throughout Russia. This year, 44 local switching centers were put into operation at once, the MTT network got the opportunity to connect regional telecom operators to the MTT transit network in each of the Russian regions. This year, the construction of a network infrastructure of a national scale was completed.

In 2005, the networks of all Russian MTN operators (Mobile Networks) were connected to the MTT network.

Also in 2005, a promising and globally demanded WLAN roaming service (roaming in Wi-Fi networks) was launched. The organizational and technical interaction of operators in the process of providing services was worked out during experimental zone, in which, together with MTT, ComStar-United Telesystems, VimpelCom, PeterStar and RTCOMM took part.

2004

Open Joint Stock Company "Interregional TransitTelecom", completing its first decade, is on the verge of broad opportunities in the telecommunications business, which will be based on the requirements of the information society. First of all, this is due to the active growth of the Russian economy and the country's success in solving the problem of doubling the GDP. The development of industry on a new qualitative basis will require a developed infrastructure that ensures the transportation of information not only within the country, but also abroad. The composition of the information will also change. Along with voice traffic, the volume of data transmission will increase, which will require an increase in the capacity of high-speed communication lines with more advanced distribution systems operating on the principles of new generation software-controlled networks.

2003

In 2003, MTT entered by adding its 100th anniversary operator to its network. They became the company "DagTelecom", which provides cellular communication services in the GSM-900 standard on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan, which was connected to the MTT transit network on January 8, 2003.

At the end of February GPRS-roaming from MTT came to Siberia. Siberian Cellular Systems, a subsidiary of MTS OJSC, which provides cellular communication services in the Novosibirsk Region and the Altai Republic, has joined GPRS roaming services.

And since April 1, 2003, for the first time in Russia, the service of national GPRS-roaming has been implemented. Subscribers of Kuban-GSM (Krasnodar) and Siberian Cellular Systems-900 (Novosibirsk) have received access to this service.

2002

On March 21, 2002, the first regional access node to the common transit communication network was put into operation in St. Petersburg. The node is located in the building of the automatic long-distance telephone exchange of the company "Petersburg City Telephone Network". On March 27, 2002, the first operator connected to the first regional access node - Telecom XXI, a subsidiary of MTS, offering cellular communication services in the GSM-900/1800 standard in the North-West region of Russia. At the same time, Interregional TransitTelecom began pilot operation of access nodes in Kaliningrad and Krasnodar.

The rapid development of cellular communication in Russia has led to the fact that long-distance telephone exchanges could not cope with the increased traffic. AT major cities exit code to long distance communication- "eight" - was overloaded, most of the time the subscriber heard a "busy" signal. Telephone nodes of fixed networks were built without considering mobile subscribers.

To solve this problem, it was necessary to organize the interaction between fixed and mobile communication networks, as well as to increase the capacity of intercity telephone exchanges. "Interregional TransitTelecom" as an enterprise acting in the interests of all operators, took up the solution of this problem and developed a program for the creation of local switching centers (LCC).

The local switching center has become an element of the common transit network for the federal networks of the NMT-450 and GSM-900/1800 standards, designed to interface the transit network, SPS networks and the fixed PSTN network directly within the geographical numbering area.

year 2001

In 2001, Russian cellular communications celebrated the 10th anniversary of its development. The anniversary year was in many ways a milestone for the entire industry. mobile communications in Russia. By the end of the year, the Russian mobile communication market became the second largest among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

The percentage of operators connected to the MTT transit network has changed - out of 88 connected networks, 42 operate in the NMT-450 standard and 46 in the GSM standard. Active work with GSM-operators required MTT to introduce new services. On February 7, 2001, MTT announced the launch of such services as "WAP-access" and "WAP-roaming". Operators that did not have their own equipment to provide WAP services used MTT's WAP access service, providing it to their subscribers on their own behalf. Operators who owned WAP equipment willingly used MTT services to provide WAP services to their subscribers in roaming.

In 2001, MTT specialists thought about a program for further promotion to the regions. Despite the fact that MTT took over the payment for operators' access channels to the transit network, transit switching centers remained the point of connection of operators to MTT. There were no convenient, uniform technical means for connecting operators to the transit network directly in the regions. Therefore, MTT decided to create them.

year 2000

The year 2000 is considered to be the beginning of the cellular communication boom in Russia. If at the end of 1999 there were less than 1.4 million subscribers in the networks of Russian mobile operators, then by the end of 2000 their number increased to 3.26 million, thus, the increase was more than 180%.

By the end of 2000, according to the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation, there were 180 cellular networks operating in Russia. Together they served 3.263 million subscribers.

Such growth of the subscriber base was due, first of all, to GSM networks.

1999

In 1999, a significant event took place in the Russian cellular communication market: in the third quarter of 1999, the number of mobile subscribers in the Russian Federation exceeded 1 million. Thus, at the end of the year, there were 1.370 million subscribers in Russia, served by 151 cellular mobile communication networks.

The scale of the modernized transit network has allowed MTT since 1999 to perform the functions of a single center for operational and technical management of federal cellular networks. MTT began to provide operators with services such as: notification of repair and adjustment and repair and restoration work on the networks of telecom operators; notification and operational interaction with the control centers of telecom operators in case of accidents; notification of reconfiguration of federal cellular networks; notification of numbering changes, control and analysis of the quality of traffic transmission on federal SPS networks.

In 1999, the list additional services provided by MTT included voicemail and faxing. Agreements for the provision of these services have been concluded with 12 NMT network operators. By this time, the MTT network united operators in the territories of about 50 regions of Russia. The amount of traffic transmitted in the network grew every year by 50 - 100%.

1998

Most mobile phone users in 1998 were concentrated in Moscow and St. Petersburg, besides, a significant part of the subscriber base was made up of foreigners who came to work in Russia, who were already accustomed to using mobile communication services in their homeland.

The crisis of August 17, 1998 dramatically changed the face of the Russian market. According to the information and analytical agency "Sotovik", the loss of subscribers of mobile operators due to the August crisis amounted to an average of 20%, and in some regions - 50%.

1997

In 1997, the transit network was officially recognized as an international instrument. On January 17, 1997 in Moscow, at a meeting of the heads of government of the CIS countries, an agreement was signed on cooperation in the development and use of cellular mobile communication systems. In this document, the interpretation and definition of the term "transit network" is given: "A system that ensures the transfer of information through communication channels from one state to another through intermediate countries."

In April 1997, two more transit hubs of the MTT company were put into operation - in Novosibirsk and Samara.

1996

In 1996, the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation prepared the General Scheme for the Creation and Phased Development of Federal Mobile Radiotelephone Communications Networks common use Russian standards NMT-450, approved by the decision of the Board of the Ministry of Communications Russian Federation. In addition, OJSC Giprosvyaz, together with MTT specialists, prepared a Project for the Creation and Development of the Transit Network of the Russian Federation. Subsequently, the MTT network and its interaction with cellular operators developed on the basis of these documents.

1995

The year 1995 passed under the sign of unification of cellular communication networks with the help of Interregional TransitTelecom. In 1995, the collegium of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation instructed MTT to create a common transit network for mobile radio networks in the 450 and 900 MHz bands, and the company prepared and implemented a grandiose project for the creation and development of the transport communication network of the Russian Federation in a short time.

It was in this year that the construction of a network began, uniting almost all participants in this rapidly growing market. In 1995, she signed the first major contract for the supply of equipment with the Swedish company Ericsson.

1994

The foundation of the company "Interregional TransitTelecom" fell on the period of rapid construction of cellular communications in Russia. The development of networks of cellular mobile radio communications of the NMT-450 and GSM standards by 1994 in Russia led to the need for the emergence of a single operator that would take on the function of interaction between tens and hundreds of companies providing these communication services. No less important at that time was the emergence of unified federal standards, according to which such interaction could take place. On October 31, 1994, the Interregional TransitTelecom company was created, designed to unite the disparate networks of numerous regional and metropolitan mobile radio operators into a single telecommunications space, to provide a global space for the communication of many thousands of subscribers.

Fewer callers pick up the phone when calling from unknown numbers that are not included in the contact list. And this is justified. Unwanted calls, scams, collectors are just a small list of possible options. To find out who is calling, just enter the number on the Internet and get necessary information from those subscribers who have already communicated with the caller. Next, we will talk about what kind of organization MTT OJSC is and why its managers call from different numbers.

What kind of company - brief information

OJSC MTT is a telecommunications organization, operator and provider headquartered in Moscow. OJSC Interregional TransitTelecom provides long-distance and international telephone communication services, providing customers with a ready-made IP PBX.

The company is owned by a subsidiary of VTB Bank - Russian Commercial Bank (Cyprus) Ltd, as well as Leonid Reiman. The company has been operating since 1994. In fact, this is the only real competitor of Rostelecom at the federal level, which has a developed network and unites more than 300 mobile operators in Russia.

Reasons for calls

The caller is:

• representatives of OJSC MTT (managers/operators);
• third parties and organizations using company numbers.

Let's consider each of the options separately.

Company call center

Judging by the feedback from subscribers, calls from representatives of the organization are not regular. Operators periodically conduct calls to conduct surveys, the quality department is interested in the opinions of customers, and the like.

Recently, survey topics have been causing a lot of confusion: employees can ask questions that have nothing to do with the services provided. This suggests the idea of ​​the company's cooperation with various commercial structures.

Like any other telecommunications organization, OJSC MTT makes calls for the purpose of selling / advertising services to existing users and subscribers of other operators.

Separately, it should be said about the imposition of their services and their connection without the knowledge of the user. There are plenty of such reviews on the forums, so listen carefully to what they say and analyze the answer before giving it.

Third parties and organizations

The long-distance operator is not always able to provide comprehensive information about the client and the number used, which is used by scammers, collectors and other companies to call customers. Most often, subscribers report calls from such firms as KEF LLC, E-cabbage (pre-trial department), Mig-credit.

In this case, calls can be made very often, including in the evening and at night, weekends and holidays. There is a possibility of silent calls. Subscribers complain about intrusiveness and violation of the law on the limit of calls.

What to do if they call from MTT OJSC

The easiest way is to blacklist the number. However, the caller can use a non-fixed number and the calls will continue. Representatives of the organization rarely create such situations, but in case of occurrence, we recommend calling the company's call center, describing the situation and filing a complaint.

• official phone number 8-800-505-48-31;
• email address [email protected];
• write to the support chat through the company's website - www.mtt.ru/chat/vk.

The same method works with constant calls from third parties. The support service will suggest ways to solve the problem. If this does not help, then you should apply to the online reception of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the link Ministry of Internal Affairs.rf/request_main or visit the office. Single complaints about the caller are rarely considered, but if there are many of them, then the case will be put into motion. Telephone "hooligans" are threatened with fines and other sanctions, which will relieve the problem for some time.

Where do they get the numbers from?

In most cases, the caller knows some information about the subscriber: full name, year of birth, place of residence, and much more. This is often used by sales departments, as well as scammers. But how do they get personal information?

Ways to collect the base for calling:

• exchange of information about clients between partners;
• collection of numbers of legal entities;
• receiving data from other users and customers (for bonuses and discounts);
• buying ready-made bases on the Web;
• collection of information from open sources (bulletin boards, forums, social networks).

In the first two cases, it will not be possible to prevent unwanted calls with offers of services and surveys, but in other cases, everything is in your hands. Large companies value reputation and rarely use customer data for calls.

How not to get into such a base.

1. close pages social networks for everyone except friends.
2. Remove the phone number from open sources or make it unreadable for the robot.
3. Do not provide a phone number when registering on suspicious sites.
4. Hide ads on sites like Yula/Avito as they lose relevance.

The value of the database is determined by the number of "live" numbers and user data (gender, age, earnings, etc.). They are often tested by silent calls.

Conclusion

If you decide to pick up the phone at least once, then there is a high probability of repeated calls. To prevent this, inform the calling manager about incapacity, minority. You can claim that you don't make purchasing decisions, or simply say that it's not your first and last name. We hope you have found answers to the questions, what kind of organization MTT OJSC is, why they call and how to get rid of unwanted calls when they occur.
