OREANDA-NEWS. November 20, 2007. Uralsvyazinform, the leading carrier of fixed-line and mobile services in the Urals region, Russia, reports changes of local tariffs to take effect starting from December 1, 2007. According to the company's press service, Uralsvyazinform will introduce additional tariff plans for its local telephone services starting from December 1, 2007, extending its combined and unlimited tariff options for residents and organizations.

Residents are offered an additional "social" tariff plan tailored for the less well-off customers who use fewer minutes. Monthly payments will comprise two components, similar to those in other tariffs:

Line rentals
RUR 130 per month for residents of the Kurgan, Scerdlovsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk and Perm regions;
RUR 180 and RUR 130 for urban and rural residents of the Khanty-Mansi AD, respectively;
RUR 200 / RUR 180 for urban and rural resident of the Yamalo-Nenets AD.

Call charges
RUR 20.0 monthly charge including 120 per-paid minutes - residents of the Kurgan, Scerdlovsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk and Perm regions;
RUR 30.0 monthly charge including 120 per-paid minutes - residents of the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets ADs.
Ex-limit minutes are charged RUR 0.38 and 0.55, respectively.
Total monthly payment for this type of combined tariff thus amounts to RUR 150.0 in the Ural group of regions, and RUR 150-230.0 for subscribers in the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets ADs, except per-minute charges if exceeding pre-paid limit.

Organizations and businesses are offered unlimited tariff option (previously unavailable for organizations). Tariff plan components include:

Line rentals
RUR 170 per month for subscribers in the Kurgan, Scerdlovsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk and Perm regions;
