Before you disconnect landline phone, you need to understand the possible consequences of such an action and decide when and how best to do it.

Benefits of having a landline at home

1) Hello, who's home?

A landline phone is in a simple way make sure the person is at home. Call, if they pick up the phone, it means you’re home.

2) About connection stability

A landline phone usually works when there are problems with mobile communications. For example, this used to happen before the New Year, when everyone called by mobile phone and congratulated each other on the New Year holidays. Now, in my opinion, there is no such problem: either there are fewer calls, or cellular operators have somehow technically resolved the issue with the increased load.

Although a landline phone does not always work well. Now many landline phones are voluntarily/forcedly switching to fiber optics, and here not everything is as smooth with communication as we would like.

3) Connection with people

Not everyone can/wants to use mobile phones: some cannot, and some consider them harmful and do not use them on principle. In this situation, you cannot do without a landline telephone to communicate with the outside world.

4) Internet and television to boot

Nowadays, along with a landline telephone, Internet and television are often included in one package. Therefore, when you turn off your phone, the Internet and TV may also turn off.

Cons of a landline phone

1) Payment for providing communication

The main disadvantage is the subscription fee, or rather, the mandatory monthly payment regardless of whether you use the phone or not. You can, of course, pay for a certain period of time in advance, but, alas, you cannot do without paying for the use of the telephone line.

At the same time, with mobile communications this is easier: you can choose a tariff where you pay only for calls actually made. Moreover, there are tariffs when subscribers of the same mobile operator can communicate with each other almost free of charge. This is the sweet moment when competition between telephone providers benefits ordinary people.

2) About repair and rental of equipment

A landline telephone has cables that, for example, neighbors can damage at the most inopportune moment for you. Then you need to call a technician to repair and restore the connection. There is no such problem with mobile communications.

If the phone is connected via fiber optic, then, alas, this modern technology it may also “want” repairs, that is, it may suddenly stop working for unknown reasons.

Fiber optic connection equipment can be rented. For example, Rostelecom, when transferring to such a connection, provides it to its customers for free, but it may break. A breakdown occurs, for example, if the power supply for the fiber optic fails. Replacing the unit is free, but before that you need to call a technician, diagnose the equipment, and fix the fault.

By the way, if you decide to give up your landline phone, then free equipment will need to be dismantled and returned to Rostelecom in order to terminate your service contract. You can do this yourself, or you will need to call a technician and wait for him to arrive so he can remove the equipment.

Before turning off

It is important to understand that after disconnection, the home phone number “goes” to another client, and it will not be possible to return it.

If a person changes his mind and after some time decides to connect his phone at home again, then he has

  • the number will be different and
  • This is a paid service, which is paid for as connection to a new phone.

Is it possible to disconnect a landline phone over the Internet?

After weighing the pros and cons, there are users who make an appropriate decision and then look for information on how to turn off a landline phone.

At the same time, they are confident that the procedure for turning off a home telephone can be done via the Internet.

It is unlikely that you will be able to disconnect your landline using the Internet alone. However, you can submit an online application, and after some time you will be contacted to clarify the reasons for this decision.

To apply online, it is advisable to register on the Rostelecom website. Then you will have a personal account in Rostelecom.

You can also apply on the website to receive paper Rostelecom bills to your email.

How to turn off your phone temporarily

Telephone companies (Rostelecom, in particular) have the opportunity to turn off the phone for several months, and then the client can continue to use it as usual. This way you can save money on subscription fee. To do this, just call by phone, although I don’t know how this happens in practice.

Or you can go to the telephone company and submit a written application from the person who entered into the contract with the company or with a notarized power of attorney from him.

Procedure to turn off your phone completely

This can be done by the person who entered into an agreement to connect a landline telephone. Or someone else who has a notarized power of attorney from the person who signed such an agreement.

  • It is advisable to have a home telephone connection agreement with you,
  • You definitely need a passport for identification.

Next, with your passport and contract, you need to go to the office of the telephone company, which services the phone and sends monthly receipts for payment. Here you fill out an application to turn off your phone, in which you should indicate the phone number to contact you. They review the application, contact you and arrange for a telephone technician to come to you to disconnect and pick up the equipment, if any.

Sometimes "old" phone numbers transferred to modern fiber optics, while expensive equipment is installed free of charge. If you refuse the phone, this equipment must be returned.

When the technician turns off the phone and takes away the equipment, then the company will turn off the phone, after which it will no longer be possible to pay for it.

You can send documents to disconnect your Rostelecom phone by Post. Must be included in the letter

  • a free-form application for termination of the contract, indicating the date of the proposed termination;
  • a copy of the contract for the provision of communication services (if there is one);
  • copy of passport;
  • a copy of the power of attorney (if you are not acting on your own behalf).

It would be a mistake to think that you can stop paying for your phone immediately after you have written and left a statement with the telephone company. Because after the application, until the technician arrives, the phone still continues to function, so you can say a lot over long-distance or international calls, but in the end it is subject to payment.

Disabling the phone is only possible if there are no payment arrears.

Landline and mobile phone simultaneously

There is a landline phone where you can insert a SIM card. In fact this mobile connection, but looks like a regular home phone. You can insert a SIM card from any mobile operator into this phone.

Since the end of 2016, Rostelecom has been using a SIM card from the mobile operator Tele2. Accordingly, where Tele2 is available, Rostelecom clients (that is, those who already use the services) can take advantage of this opportunity.
