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.

how to send by phone and submit online
Clients of the company are periodically interested in one of Rostelecom's services - a telegram. Despite the emergence of other switching options, many use this delivery method to send a message to another person in Russia and abroad. Below we will consider how to send a telegram to Rostelecom, how long it takes, and what price you have to pay. We will also consider alternative methods.
How to send a telegram via Rostelecom
To send a text message using RT, you do not need to go to the telegraph office or company, as it was before. If desired, an urgent message can be sent at any time of the night, and if there is no money, even on credit. The received document has legal force, which allows it to be used even in legal proceedings (if necessary), when applying to municipal authorities or other structures.
There are several ways to send a text message. Let's highlight the main ones:
- Through a call center. The easiest way is to send a telegram via Rostelecom by phone. In this case, you must dial the number 8-800-301-01-26, declare your intention and dictate information to the operator. After receiving the information, the employee of the company forms the shipment. The number may vary depending on the region. For example, in Omsk, you can send a telegram using a different Rostelecom phone number - 066, for the Tomsk branch - 077, for the Altai branch - 8166, etc. It is better to clarify this issue on the official website at the link - rt.ru/telegramm. The service is available on any home or work phone.
- in sales offices. If there is a company salon nearby, you can contact it and ask employees to send a Telegram to Rostelecom online or in another way. To send a text message, you must have a passport with you for identification.
- At the post office. If you have not figured out how to send a telegram by phone to Rostelecom, or if this is not possible, come to the post office. Please note that not all branches provide the service. In addition, the option is usually provided to persons with disabilities.
Before sending a telegram via Rostelecom by phone, prepare additional information. When sending a message, the following data is required:
- category;
- view;
- recipient's address;
- text and signature.
Many people ask how to send a telegram via the Internet to Rostelecom. To date, this service is not available. Officially, there are only three options, which were mentioned above.
Types of telegrams
Today, Rostelecom distinguishes two ways to send a text message. Briefly consider their features:
- Urgent. Used to communicate emergency information such as death, force majeure, marriage, etc.
- International. Sent to the CIS and Baltic countries. The telegram must be sent in a language that is allowed in the recipient country using Latin letters.
If you decide to send a Telegram by phone to Rostelecom, first determine the phone number for your region (this was mentioned above). In this case, select one of the types of departure:
- on art form;
- on music sheet;
- with delivery within the time specified by the customer;
- with return receipt.
It is worth considering that the cost of the service directly depends on the type of shipment.
How much does it cost to submit a telegram
Before giving a telegram by phone to Rostelecom, decide in advance on the text and the most important words. With the right construction of the proposal, you can reduce the cost of sending.
Depending on the situation, you can use additional paid services. It is possible to receive the following documents:
- a certified copy of the telegram;
- certificates with information about the sender's address;
- confirmation of delivery;
- copies of a previously received item.
As for the costs, they may vary by region, so it is better to clarify in advance how much the service costs.
Average tariff in Russia (per word):
- ordinary - 5.1 r;
- urgent, extraordinary, out of category, etc. - 7.45 rubles.
Delivery (telegraph fee):
- ordinary - 39.75 rubles;
- urgent, extraordinary, out of category, etc. - 54.4 rubles.
Notice of delivery will cost 80 rubles, and for urgent - 135 rubles. Issuing a copy costs 32.5 rubles for every 100 words, and its delivery to the address is 54 rubles.
The cost of an international shipment depends on the country of destination. On average, the price is from 42 to 44.5 rubles per word. When sending a text message to the Baltic and CIS countries, regular sending will cost 22.6-34.15 rubles per word, and urgent - from 41 to 65.65 rubles
Delivery time
As noted earlier, Rostelecom will not be able to send a telegram via the Internet online. But even when data is transmitted over the phone, information is delivered in a short time. So, the delivery time of a regular shipment is from 8 to 12 hours, depending on the location of the recipient. If an urgent delivery option is selected, the Rostelecom telegram is transmitted within 4 hours. Most of the time it happens faster.
How to track telegram
Today, many are accustomed to the fact that a parcel or other shipment can be tracked via the Web using a number or other data. It will not be possible to control the movement of the Rostelecom telegram via the Internet. The company does not provide such an option. When sending a text message, the company does not assign a track to it, so control is not available in the usual way.
But this is not necessary. Despite the fact that Rostelecom telegram tracking by number is not provided, you can always dial the operator and ask about the fate of the text "parcel". Situations are not ruled out when some kind of failure has occurred in the system or there is a human factor.
For reliability, it is better to send a telegram to Rostelecom with acknowledgment of receipt. In this case, it will be possible not to worry whether the parcel was delivered to the person or not.
Alternative methods
Today there are many options for how to give an online telegram, including the ability to track by number or in other ways. Let's single out several alternatives:
- Post office. On the site pochta.ru, you can send a text message by phone or online telegramma.pochta.ru. Applications are accepted around the clock and delivered on time. To send, you must specify the recipient's address, enter the text of the telegram, order a copy and pay for the service with a bank card.
- Telegraph service online. On the telegraf.ru website, you can send a telegram message to anywhere in the world. This can be done via the Internet after filling out a special form.
- Central Telegraph. Another way is to tell another person important news through the cnt.ru website. Here you can also send a shipment by phone, via the Internet or in other ways.
In all cases, the message transmission principle is the same. The main thing is to study the tariffs and delivery conditions in advance, and only then make a decision on the possibility of using the service. If everything suits you, you can place an order.
Despite a number of restrictions and the impossibility of tracking Rostelecom's telegram by check, many people use the company's services. This is due to a relatively affordable price, high speed by phone and a large range of additional services.
