Home "news" for the company and the majority of MGTS subscribers - paid calls on the federal mobile numbers. According to General Director of MGTS Alexey Goltsova, the scheme of financial flows has changed radically. Before July 1, the company has received money from the mobile operators for terminating traffic of mobile subscribers, and now she pays Sotovik for calls from fixed phones to mobiles. According to Alexei Goltsova paid regularly and promptly and in full compliance with the treaties. Of course, not forgetting to take with us on the ruble and a half per minute. The second "disaster" - a huge number of accounts and dramatically increased on this occasion the number of hits in the directory services of MGTS. Billed for July 1,8 million single bills for August - already 2,8 million
An interesting statistics on traffic. In July, the number of calls from fixed to mobile phones dropped by 30% in August, traffic is restored to normal (pre-reform) level in September rose by 30% compared with August. Otherwise it could not be: in July issue of paid calls to mobile phones actively covered by all media. And the coverage, to put it mildly, peculiar: in pursuit of sensational headlines and loud people are simply misleading, as some television programs seemed straightforward intimidation. Many hundreds of thousands of Muscovites do not even read newspapers (not to mention magazines and special editions), but regularly watch television, the results of "advocacy" of television journalists - people were afraid to press the top eight on a home phone. This and a 30 percent decrease in traffic in July. In August, the people somehow figured out that for the horns do not have to pay, and in September realized that the call to a mobile from a landline in most cases cheaper.
Almost 3 million accounts exposed in August - an impressive figure. I wonder how many of them never made it to the recipients? Personally, I once or twice a month must discover in your mailbox foreign correspondence, and found the neighbor's account of the MGTS. Fortunately, the phone does not disconnect without warning, the debt will warn answering machine. For non-payment of MGTS has been temporarily disabled: in August - 39 thousand subscribers in September - 45 th For comparison: before the introduction of the principle of "calling party pays" the figure in May was 35 thousand subscribers in June - 42 th in the July - 49 000. Another positive news - the extension of payment deadlines until December time to pay the bills MGTS increased from two to five weeks. Average invoice amount in August amounted to 236 rubles, of which 200 - fee, and 36 - for calls to federal mobile. But this "average temperature in the hospital, many are still afraid to call a mobile. But there are opposite examples: a chatty caller paid in August, more than 18 thousand rubles. If you believe the calculator, this person only to mobile subscribers talked every day for 7 hours.
Submitted invoices and television "terror" caused an avalanche of calls to directory services of MGTS. Million hits in July, eight (!) Million in August, three million in September. In August, it would be much greater than eight, but many simply do not get called, since the number of employees referral services had doubled just in September. When I asked "Are not you supposed increase in the number of appeals in August?" Mr Pinnacles honestly answered, "How is not expected." Ieall were sent notice of the need to choose one of three tariffs, specific numbers are not indicated and does not expect appeals bewildered townspeople. But now launched an additional multi-channel telephone 636-06-36, by which you can receive a certificate to apply for repairs and to add extra services. Toward the middle of November will be an automatic interactive voice service, through which it will be possible around the clock to keep the application for troubleshooting.
Under the new tariffs. Discussion and approval of new tariffs is much delayed, but the final figures are promised within the next week. It is not excluded that in December we will pay for home phones on the new rates. In this case we are obliged to notify no later than November 20. The figures have not yet announced, but the question on the projected percentage of users unlimited tariffs, we heard an interesting response: "Forecasting is difficult, as the figures will depend on the license fee. For example, when abonentke of 350 rubles will be one of the number of users at 400 rubles - the other." Ie with high probability we can expect the monthly fee for unlimited connection at a rate of 375 rubles.
Apparent tendency of sharp increase in the number of calls to mobile phones with office does not seem to be traced, but it is possible that these statistics in MGTS not puzzling. However, registered a considerable number of applications from organizations with a request to disable the "eight" on the office lines. By the way, since January should appear technically possible to separate block access to intercity and federal mobile numbers.
In conclusion - some statistics. Three and a half million individual subscribers (individuals) in August brought out 2.6 million minutes in September - 4.7 million. Approximate structure of traffic: about 40% of calls to MTS, the same amount for Beeline and about 20% in MegaFon.
