HOW TO SEND A TELEGRAM?

You can order a telegram online and it will be delivered to the recipient on paper. Enter the street address of the recipient and your message, and pay by credit or debit card. The telegram will be delivered by a courier to the door of the recipient, in a sealed envelope.

MOST FREQUENTLY USED FOR

CONTRACT CANCELLATION (41%)

Top destinations are Vivint, Wyndham Resorts, Empire Today, Kirby, Armando Montelongo, Erie Construction, Blue World Pools, Sears, Monterey Bay Matchmakers, Power Home, Solarcity, Hansons Windows, Whitney Education Group, Elite Legacy Education, AT&T, Castle the Window People, Easy Rest, 24 Hour Fitness.

TELEGRAMS TO APO/FPO (25%)

Please check DoD Directive 4525.6. Always use the country “USA” even if you know the geographical location of the APO/FPO. Telegrams are transferred to MPS (Military Postal Service) directly and are delivered with the highest priority. This is particularly beneficial if the delivery channel has a limited capacity.

SYMPATHY AND BEREAVEMENT (23%)

The best option is to send your sympathy message to the funeral home. They will know how and when to present the telegram. If you only have the church address, please add the funeral date to the address field. Or, just send it to the family’s home address, especially if you are running late.

WEDDINGS AND CELEBRATIONS (7%)

Using the business address of the celebration venue (hotel, restaurant, chapel, etc.) is recommended. Make sure you include the last name of the recipient couple or individual. You can add a requested delivery date below the address (“DELIVER ON [date]”).

POPULAR DESTINATIONS

DOMESTIC: USA

Delivery to business addresses is same-day, to residential addresses, next-day. Telegrams are delivered by a courier in a sealed envelope. You can track the telegram online. Free copy with submission time stamp is included.

OVERSEAS

For example, delivery to UK, Italy, Japan, or the former Yugoslavia is same-day in cities, next-day in rural areas. Delivery is by a courier of a state-designated service (local telecom/post).

SHIPS AT SEA

Cruise ships are especially popular ship destinations. Telegrams are transmitted over satellite link within six hours. They are then delivered to the recipient by the crew. Please include the cabin number, if available. If the recipient is part of a group, please add “c/o [name of the principal booker]”.

GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES

With the White House being the top address, many telegrams are delivered to state and federal representatives. For the latter, you can use either a Washington or local address. A telegram stands out, so there is a better chance the recipient will pay attention to your message than if you send an email or letter.

About us

SendTelegram.com provides the international telegram service formerly provided by the FTCC, which was founded in 1895 with the objective of laying a transatlantic telegraph cable. As part of its legacy, SendTelegram.com is now using the FTCC’s historic telegraphic country prefix. SendTelegram.com is regulated by the FCC as an enhanced service provider under Title I (FCC Registration Number (FRN): 0025305764).

Initially, while Western Union was handling domestic delivery, the FTCC was responsible for international, financial, and government traffic. Since the Internet Division was opened in 1995, a telegram can be sent through this website to any destination—domestic, international, or on the high seas.

What is the cost of sending a telegram?

The cost depends on the length and destination, and starts at around $30 for a short telegram. You can click on “Price and Send Now” and test the pricing interactively—change the text as many times as you like before proceeding to payment.

How fast are telegrams delivered?

The delivery speed depends on the destination. Please consult “Resources.. Delivery information by country” for details. Some examples: USA business address: same day; USA residential address: same or next day; Japan: same day, remote islands next day; Italy: same or next day. The cut-off time for same-day delivery is noon at the destination.

I did not complete the telegram order—I stopped before paying. How do I cancel my telegram?

Unfinished (not paid-for) telegram submissions are canceled by the system automatically after five days. If you still wish to proceed, please follow the payment link in the e-mail receipt. The original submission date will stand.

The receiving company claims they did not receive the telegram—what can I do?

Please contact us and a delivery specialist will take care of the problem. It is not unusual for companies to refuse acknowledgment of receipt, especially of cancellation telegrams. However, for 20 years, we have had a 100% cancellation success rate.

I would like the telegram to be delivered on a specific date (for a ceremony, funeral, celebration, etc.). Can I do that?

Yes. Please add “DELIVER ON [date]” beneath the address.

Will I receive confirmation of the delivery?

Email confirmations are not sent, but you can check delivery information through the tracking system.

Is it possible to send a telegram to a ship at sea, such as a cruise ship?

Yes. Delivery is performed over satellite link within six hours. Please include the cabin number, if available.

I did not receive an email receipt. What should I do?

Please check the separate payment receipt for the tracking number. Enter the tracking number on our website to see the delivery status.

I would like to make a change in the telegram I sent.

How can I do that?

Please use the contact form below to send your changes.

I need to send a cancellation form (a document)—would you be able to deliver it?

There is no need to use the pre-printed cancellation form. Just send a telegram, stating that you would like to cancel your contract. Include the organization’s reference information, such as your contract number.

How do I send a telegram to an APO/FPO military address?

Instead of using a street address, enter the APO/FPO address. Always use the country “USA” even if you know the geographical location of the APO/FPO. Please check the DoD Directive 4525.6 on this website for addressing standards and further details. Please note that internal distribution may be subject to current security regulations.

How do you safeguard privacy?

We take the privacy of our customers very seriously. We comply with global security and privacy standards, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA, EU Privacy Directive and more. Please see our Privacy Policy page for details.

Are you affiliated with Western Union?

No. Until the late 1980s, Western Union was handling domestic delivery of telegrams, and the FTCC was responsible for international, financial and government traffic. After closure of retail operations by Western Union, we effectively replaced them in the domestic market. Our mode of operation and regulation by the FCC are identical to Western Union’s.

It is useful for citizens who use this type of communication to know how to send a telegram without leaving home. How to send a telegram via the Internet or by phone, we will tell readers below.

Where can I send a telegram?
How to send a telegram from a mobile phone? In this case, it is necessary to write the necessary text on a standard postal form, the addresses of the sender and recipient, and pay for the service. Within a few hours, the message will reach the addressee.
By mobile phone, dictating to the operator the text of the message, the addresses of the sender and recipient.
Via the Internet - on the websites of postal and telecommunications operators, you can fill out a telegram form in electronic form and send it from home or from a work computer.

We are writing a complaint against the Russian Post Office

However, do not forget that in some cases it is required to send not a simple, but a certified telegram. Its peculiarity is that the identity of the sender is verified and then verified by a postal worker or other telecom operator. With the help of such a telegram, official messages, statements to organizations and government bodies, agendas are sent.

Taking into account the peculiarity of sending a certified telegram, it is possible to send it to the post office only with a personal appeal, while presenting a passport to the operator.

How to send a telegram from a mobile phone

Important! The article is not advertising in nature, however, for your convenience, we will give examples of really working services. You can use any operator that provides such services.

As an example of sending a telegram from a telephone (home, mobile), we can cite the service provided by Rostelecom. You can contact the operator by number: 8 800 300 10 76.

The operator will answer all your questions regarding the cost and methods of payment for the telegram. Most often, the amount is debited from the account or included in the receipt for paying for the home phone. The cost of one word at the time of writing is 2 rubles 33 kopecks. An additional fee is charged for sending special telegrams (urgent, on a congratulatory letterhead, etc.). If the sender is satisfied with the proposed conditions, he needs to dictate the delivery address and the text of the message to the operator.

If the telegram is received, the operator will call back and confirm that it has been sent. The message will reach the addressee in a few hours.

How to send a telegram via the Internet

A number of companies provide the ability to send a telegram online. As an example, let's take a service from PJSC Central Telegraph. To send a telegram via the Internet, select the appropriate service on the official website of the company. You do not need to register on the site.

In the service for sending telegrams, fill in the fields of the virtual telegram form. You can pay for the telegram with a bank card.

After downloading and paying for the telegram, the message will be delivered to the addressee within a few hours.

***

Thus, sending telegrams by phone today is convenient, fast, reliable and inexpensive. However, if the telegram still needs to be certified, you will have to go to the post office with a passport.

How to send real telegrams directly from your smartphone

August 24, 2017AndroidiOS

Do you remember the era of paper letters that has gone forever? Actually letters, postcards, telegrams - how nice it was to receive news from relatives or friends. The TCHK mobile application is a real find for everyone who is tired of soulless messages in instant messengers.

What is TCHK

This is an application with which you can send a real telegram directly from your smartphone from anywhere in the world. Distance does not matter - the telegram will reach the addressee even from the other side of the world the very next day after departure, and not a month later in a crumpled form.

appbox fallback https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/1058971610

A logical question: why do we need telegrams when there are instant messengers and SMS? You might as well ask why people hang reproductions of paintings on the walls when they can be viewed on the Web at any time. A telegram on a postcard is a warm and lamplike sign of attention, which is pleasant even just to hold in your hands. I felt sad - I took out the message, re-read it, pressed it to my heart, and my heart became more cheerful.

Remembered the memorable date the day before and did not have time to think of anything with a gift? The telegram will help out: the next day it will be with the recipient, even if you are separated by oceans.

How to send a telegram

Registration in the application is elementary: you just need to enter the phone number to which the confirmation code is sent. Pass authorization using this code - and you can immediately send postcards to everyone.

TChK syncs with your social media accounts and reminds you when your friend's birthday is. It will be much more pleasant for him to receive a real postcard than a banal rhyme in a personal message. The message will arrive exactly on the date you specified: you remembered your birthday literally the day before - it doesn’t matter, the birthday person will still receive his congratulations.

Using a telegram on a stylish postcard, you can congratulate your loved ones and friends on any other holiday by selecting it in the list of events. After that, we proceed to select the addressee from the contact list. Even if you do not know the number of the recipient's house or apartment, it's okay. Indicate his last name, first name, patronymic, city of residence and phone number, and then they will contact him and clarify which address is more convenient to deliver the telegram.

The next step is to choose a postcard. You can choose an option that conveys the spirit of the holiday, or choose something universal.

Then we determine the text of the telegram. It must be no more than 48 words in length, address and signature are not included here. Write something from yourself or choose one of the available templates.

Proceed to the payment process. There are two ways: funds can be transferred from a bank card or from a mobile phone account. When the money is gone, you can subtly hint to the addressee that the news will be waiting soon.

Making a postcard from your own photo

Vacation photos in social networks are, of course, good, but it's much more interesting to send greetings to loved ones from distant countries using a telegram. The mobile application "TCHK" has a service "FOTCHKa" - now you can create unique postcards from your own photos, and not be limited to the templates presented in the application. If you want - use the pictures stored in the smartphone's memory, if you want - upload photos from Facebook*, Instagram* or VKontakte.

Many people like to send postcards with places of interest from their trips. "FOTCHKA" is much cooler, because it's your own postcard. It contains all your emotions and impressions, what you wanted to share with friends and family. Plus, it will be delivered to Moscow the very next day, even if you send it from another continent.

Of course, we could not but try this service in practice. We decided not to waste time on trifles and send three postcards at once - to walk like that.

This is how the process of turning a photo into a postcard looks like. At the stage of choosing an image, we stop at the option of creating a postcard from our image.

The better the picture, the better the finished postcard will look, so blurry and fuzzy photos don't belong here. The minimum image size is 620 × 620 pixels, and for high quality printing, at least 1240 × 1240 pixels. Pictures taken with a smartphone meet these requirements.

The photo can be further processed: make it black and white or turn it into a time-worn picture using a retro filter. We settled on the original version - the brighter, the better.

The final stage is the choice of an artistic frame in which the image will be enclosed. With a recent update, there are many new frames, so you can experiment as much as you like and choose the perfect one for each photo.

Voila, the result of our work has appeared on the preview - this is how the finished postcard will look like. Then everything is according to the standard: they added the text, paid, the telegram went to the specified address.

The print quality is at its best, there are no complaints about the delivery time either - the postcards were at the recipient the next day after we sent them. The only inconvenience is that you cannot select the exact delivery time, but let's hope that this option will appear in one of the next updates.

While the service of creating postcards from photos is available only for users of the mobile application "POTCHK", such "FOTCHKs" are delivered to Moscow and some cities of the Moscow region.
