How to enable forwarding to Skylink. Setting up call forwarding. How much does redirection cost?

I wanted to describe in more detail a way to cheaply receive calls while roaming. As I wrote earlier, I believe that the highest quality method currently is the call forwarding system via Skylink.

Connection:
1. Buy a Skylink envelope with the “Easy as Easy” tariff from any Svyaznoy or Euroset. Costs 500 rubles, 200 to the account. There is no subscription fee. Be sure to tell the seller several times about the need for urgent activation. There is no need to buy a phone, you won’t need it.
2. Go to the Skypoint page, click “Initial registration”, register using PUK2. If registration fails, it means that the moron from Svyaznoy/Euroset did not activate your card. Call Skylink support, they will activate it for you over the phone (they will ask you in detail about your passport..... It was exactly like that for me)))
3. Log in to Skypoint using your username and password, go to “services”. You need to add "Call Forwarding", "Caller ID", "International Access" and ALWAYS "Invited Guest". International access is added only through a call to support. The rest is added by checking boxes.
Congratulations!!! Your Skylink is ready to use.

Control:
1. Go to Skypoint.
2. Go to "Settings" => "Call".
3. In the “Phone to which unconditional forwarding is set” window, you need to enter the phone number to which all calls from your Skylink will be forwarded. The phone number is entered in the same format as on a home phone, that is, 810 instead of "+". Example: +443457654843 = 810443457654843.

Before departure:
1. Before departure, forward all calls from your mobile to Skylink. This is easy to do through the phone menu. You need to enable unconditional forwarding. In order to avoid “technical failures”, cancel all forwarding before installing forwarding (this is the recommendation of telecom operators).
2. Top up your Skylink balance. Decide how you will top up your balance from abroad ( bank card or friends). I recommend putting some money in reserve))) They won’t go to waste, they’ll remain for the next trip.

Upon arrival:
1. Buy a local SIM card.
2. Go to Skypoint and set up unconditional forwarding to this SIM card as described above.
3. Enjoy incoming communications without forgetting about your balance.

How to accurately find out your local SIM number:
It is written on the package you buy. In some countries, it is customary to replace “+” with 0 or 00. It is necessary to eliminate the extra zeros. Find out the code of the country you are traveling to in advance. This will help you get your bearings. There is an easy way - send an SMS from this SIM card. When it is received, the sender's number will be in the format +......

How to find out tariffs.

Call forwarding from your mobile number can help in many cases. Eg:

  • you forgot your phone at home, but at work you need to receive calls;
  • you are in a place where your operator’s network does not work, but others do;
  • when moving from one number to another, you want to temporarily set up call forwarding from the old number to the new one.

Redirection can be set up in two ways:

  • through the phone menu or using special codes;
  • by contacting your operator - through the subscriber service or personal account.

How to forward to another number

The easiest way to enable call forwarding is through your phone settings. All phones and operating systems The path in the settings is different, let's look at the most popular ones:

Enable forwarding on iOS– go to “Settings” -> “Phone” -> “Forwarding”.
– go to the “Phone” application -> “Settings” -> “Calls” -> “Call forwarding”:

You can also enable forwarding by typing the command in the dialer:

**21*PHONE_NUMBER_FOR FORWARDING#

and pressing the call key.

“21” in this command is an unconditional forwarding code, that is, all calls without exception will be forwarded. There are several codes that can be used instead of 21:

  • 67 – forwarding only if your phone is busy;
  • 62 – forwarding if your phone is offline or turned off;
  • 61 – forwarding if you do not answer the call.

If you don’t have a phone number with which you need to set up call forwarding, call your operator’s customer service. The dispatcher will connect you to any type of forwarding to any number, of course, after you confirm your identity by giving your passport details.

The forwarding setting is usually indicated by a special icon in the status bar:

How to disable forwarding

This can also be done through your phone settings and contact center. Or use the command:

##002# - cancels all installed forwardings.

How much does redirection cost?

Using the forwarding service itself is free, but you will pay for forwarded calls at your regular rate. It’s as if you are calling the number to which you have set forwarding. Also, sometimes the operator may charge a fee for setting up call forwarding through the subscriber service. For example, at MTS it will cost 30 rubles.

If you have any questions, we will be happy to help you!

Attention! Replacing Skylink RUIM cards for Tele2 SIM cards is carried out ONLY in Rostelecom (Tele2) offices with a passport (individual, owner only) or a power of attorney from the company (legal entity).

Old Skylink equipment will NOT work! If you had landlines or terminals, then

And now in more detail:

November 1, 2016 voice data services ( telephone communication) Skylink networks were no longer provided in the CDMA-450 standard, i.e. November 1, 2016 all phone numbers, including direct city lines (for example, in Moscow - in codes 495 and 499) stopped working, and all additional functions, including call forwarding, will be disabled. The shutdown date was postponed several times, and now it has happened - Skylink has turned off its CDMA equipment. From sources in the Rostelecom company it became known that from approximately October 20, 2016, communications in this standard Many subscribers have a one-way connection: the subscriber can make an outgoing call, but incoming calls do not go through.

UPD. In May 2019 this problem got to Yaroslavl and Rostov regions- one of the last strongholds of the CDMA-450 standard. From June 20 and 30 respectively are expected complete shutdowns of the CDMA standard in the Skylink network in Yaroslavl, Rostov and regions.

What should be done?

Skylink subscribers you need to go to the Skylink (Rostelecom) office (see on the official website cdma.skylink.ru) and write an application to transfer the number to Tele2. ONLY the owner of the room can arrive - the person to whom the room is registered, with his passport. No handwritten powers of attorney are valid, only notarized ones. Rooms designed for legal entities, are reissued only if there is a power of attorney from the company with a seal. You will receive a SIM card with a temporary federal number, and after 1-2 days your Skylink number will be transferred to this SIM card. The translation of direct city numbers is no different from the translation of federal numbers in the 901 code.


For Rostelecom subscribers You also need to go to the service office to replace the SIM card. Re-registration occurs similarly to re-registration in Skylink: individuals- only the owner of the number with a passport, legal entities - only a company representative with a stamped power of attorney. There you will be offered to rent a regular GSM dialer for free - the cheapest cell phone push-button telephone, But this decision not very suitable for: 1) elderly people; 2) for use in offices, shops, bars and cafes, etc.; 3) for use with PBX, etc. For equipment replacement, see the end of the page.

For Cityfon / Centel (Central Telegraph) subscribers - similar: go to the sales office and change RUIM to SIM - a Beeline SIM card is also issued. For equipment replacement, see the end of the page.


Hardware problems
Equipment that worked in Skylink networks, as well as in its MVNO projects (projects with other operators): Domolink Moby, Rostelecom , Cityphone Centel / Central Telegraph , MTT Home phone and etc., won't work anymore , and no other SIM cards (Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2) can be used in it. Devices such as Huawei fixed terminals models ETS1000, ETS1001, FT2050, Skylink Base, as well as fixed Huawei phones models ETS2077, ETS2055, ETS2052, Skylink Table, Ubiquam UF300, etc. become completely useless - they can simply be thrown away.

The operator Tele2, to which you will be offered to connect (transfer your number), does not have landline GSM phones and GSM gateways for sale; you must use either smartphones or telephones, which in conditions bad reception network is problematic or impossible. To solve this problem, you can purchase 3G gateways or 3G / 4G routers with voice communication support or improve the quality of network reception (strengthen voice communication) using repeaters (communication amplifiers). For subscribers using smartphones, switching to Tele2 will not bring any inconvenience, but what should subscribers using regular dialers and landline phones do, since many people use Skylink numbers as work numbers?
The most inexpensive solutions are Huawei 3G routers with telephone connectors: models Huawei B681 (Phone + 3G + WiFi) and Huawei B315 (Phone + 4G + 3G + WiFi) - these routers have RJ11 connectors for connecting regular analog phones: as simple as with a handset on a wire and a dialer , as well as radiotelephones of DECT and GAP standards. Yes
These models are primarily routers, so if you wish, you can use the Internet from the same Tele2 SIM card by connecting to the router via WiFi or via cable (the number of LAN connectors is from 2 to 4 depending on the model). The data transfer speed of the devices is: B200 - up to 3 Mbit/s, B681 - up to 21 Mbit/s. Attention! Internet and telephony do NOT work simultaneously: with incoming / outgoing call The Internet connection breaks.
For subscribers who need higher speed and/or simultaneous access to the Internet and telephony, we can offer

Tariffing of local voice, long-distance and international calls: per minute. Non-chargeable interval of 5 seconds from the moment of connection. Calls whose duration exceeds the non-chargeable interval are rounded up per minute.

Tariffing for Internet access traffic: per kilobyte, no non-tariff interval. The amount of incoming and outgoing traffic transmitted in one session is charged. Data transmission traffic transmitted/received within several sessions during the same time interval equal to one astronomical hour is summed up. When moving between tariff zones (Moscow-Moscow region) during one data transfer session, billing is carried out according to the tariff at the start of the session.

The MSS OJSC company provides information on the amount of paid/free traffic downloaded by the subscriber. Information on the amount of paid/free traffic was obtained based on automated system calculations of the "Billing System 2000" used in OJSC "MSS". "Billing System 2000" has a Certificate of Conformity issued by the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Communications and Information ( registration number OS-1-ST-0169, valid until 02/12/2011). Details of the data transfer protocols used, communication nodes, visited Internet resources (sites) and others are not provided.

* - By default, data transfer / Internet access is possible only in EV-DO mode, provided that the subscriber is within the coverage area of ​​the EV-DO network and when using a subscriber terminal and RUIM card that support EV-DO mode. When activating the "Internet Access (1x)" service, data transfer / Internet access is also possible in 1X mode within the coverage area of ​​the 1X network.

** - The cost of turning on the service is 30 rubles. Disabling the service is free of charge.

*** - The specified tariff is valid for forwarding to the telephone numbers of MGTS, other fixed-line operators in Moscow and to subscriber numbers of Moscow cellular operators (MTS, Beeline, Megafon). When forwarding to long-distance or international numbers the cost of a forwarded call will be equivalent to the cost of a regular call to these numbers.

**** - More detailed information about tariffs for intercity / international calls when connecting to the “Invited Guest” service, you can find it on the website www.skylink.ru.

***** - More detailed information on tariffs for long-distance / international calls when activating the "Preferential long-distance and international calls" service can be found on the website www.skylink.ru.

****** - When activating the "Internet Access (1X)" service, data transfer/Internet access will be possible not only in EV-DO mode, but also in 1X mode. If your subscriber number was previously serviced under the terms of one of the tariff plans with the current “Internet Access (1X)” service, then if you change to this tariff plan, the service will be retained. Disabling the service is done through the Sky Point service portal www.SkyPoint.ru.

******* - The modifier is unlimited. For using a tariff modifier, a fee is charged, which is debited at a time when the tariff modifier is activated, and then monthly in full, on the day equal to the day of initial connection. If there is no such date in the month, then the fee is debited on the last day of the month.

Tariffs are valid when the subscriber is located in Moscow and the Moscow region. Use of services while roaming is charged at a separate rate. Prices include VAT. The cost of communication services is calculated at a fixed rate of 29 rubles per one US dollar, established by the operator from 01.08.2006. Payments for communication services provided between OJSC "Moskovskaya cellular" and by the subscriber are made in accordance with the terms of the concluded agreement.

The choice of subscriber number is paid additionally.

All holidays the speed on Skylink is 0 or near zero. Almost all week I have been admiring the messages: “Network problem.” When calling the support service, there is only one answer: “All specialists are resting until 11.01.”
They have the most expensive tariffs and yet they don’t want to work. If anyone is thinking of connecting Mobile Internet, skylink I don't recommend it.

If we talk about problems during the holidays, then they really did exist, but only on January 3 and January 10. And in both cases, the problems were closed on the same days. No one waited for the specialists to come out on 11.01. And they went out on holidays and went to sites.

Of course. If we hadn’t gone out on holidays, we would now be sitting without half of our customers.

Yesterday at lunchtime I fell, but technical support pissed in the eyes - everything is God's dew: everything is ok with us, remove the card from the modem for 10 minutes...


I'll tell you a little secret. The Unified Contact Center, which is located in Vladimir, has a little more information than you yourself. And there is no functionality to quickly solve your problem.
In short, if something breaks, then by and large it is useless to call there. The most they can do is check the settings.

Removing the R-UIM card from the modem usually helps because the number is rebooted within 10-15 minutes. And a possible frozen session is reset.

Who else has any questions?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

All presented tariff plans provide the services “Additional direct city number with forwarding for telephony”, “Additional direct city number with forwarding for receiving faxes” and “Additional direct city number with forwarding for receiving data”. A one-time payment of 270 rubles is charged for connecting each additional number. The monthly subscription fee for “Additional direct city number with forwarding for telephony” is 150 rubles, for “Additional direct city number with forwarding for receiving faxes” and “Additional direct city number with forwarding for receiving data” - 120 rubles for each number.

So it’s still simple. And you don’t have to overpay.

good news about Centertelecom, but about Skylink I don’t understand why I need it additional number if there is already one and this is clearly a communication problem.


As if we're talking about about Megafon. Megafon, like CenterTelecom, provides a number in the ABC code like (4922) xx-xx-xx, as I understand it.
If I’m wrong, then there are a lot of literate citizens here. They will correct it.

As I understand it, the megaphone will forward calls from the landline Skylink number to its own number, I don’t know about the connection issue, whether it will improve or not, maybe Skylink’s problems are still occurring at the level of the signal from the landline phone to his, then the problems will persist.

I have been a Vladtelecom subscriber for 10 years. Previously, they monitored tariffs for voice communication and always tried to be competitive. But in recent years they have put the screw on them, apparently in pursuit of Internet provisioning. Prices are high, communication is poor, etc. In response to my requests, requests to check, call back - complete silence. The glitches are the same as yours. I'm very displeased. The phones themselves are complete crap. It’s a pity that there are only two numbers on it... Most likely I’ll switch to a megaphone. I'm keeping an eye on him Lately and ask friends about the quality of communication. For example, in the Gusevsky district, he put all the operators on their backs... The coverage is good, there are many services. Now there is only one task - when calling to Skylink, leave it for everyone a voice message about changing the number.

As I understand it, the megaphone will forward calls from a landline Skylink number to its own number,

Wrong. You will have another city ​​megaphone number. You can leave the Skylink temporarily and redirect from it to the megaphone. You will only pay for incoming calls at Skylink rates as for outgoing calls from Skylink to a megaphone. But even with this scheme, only redirection to Beeline, there are glitches! A person calls and sometimes listens to silence, eventually hangs up... I don’t know who is to blame here, either Skylink or Beeline, but it works like crap...

As I understand it, the megaphone will forward calls from the landline Skylink number to its own number, I don’t know about the connection issue, whether it will improve or not, maybe Skylink’s problems are still occurring at the level of the signal from the landline phone to his, then the problems will persist.


Well, if you really are not joking, that is, you are not catching up, I will explain in more detail. Connect to MEGA and connect to NEW mobile number MEGAFON NEW CITY MEGAFONE NUMBER of 6 (SIX) digits, number format will be 600-ХХХ. You will be able to call it from city numbers without dialing the operator code, that is, by dialing 600-ХХХ or by dialing the area code 4922 if the call is not from Vladimir. In short, the megaphone has absolutely the same system as Skylink now has, namely direct landline phone numbers. It costs 140 rubles per month (This is the cost of having a landline number on your mobile phone), and all calls according to tariff plan which you will connect to. If you want more old number Leave it then set the redirection, there will be no problems, well, except for paying for the redirection to SKYLINK as stated above. You play around with it, and if you’re happy with Skye after a while, turn it off, you don’t like it, look for something else!

As I understand it, this is the price of only the connected number, if you call to landline numbers then this is a separate cost, I just call landlines from Skylink for free.
