From Russia it is cheaper to call America than to Belarus
Telephone connections between Russia and Belarus are currently higher than between the Russian Federation and the United States.
The head of the federal national-cultural autonomy of Belarusians in Russia, Sergei Kandybovich, stated this on the Den TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The issue of removing roaming on telephone communications between Russia and Belarus is still raised. They say that it is very difficult, that there are a lot of problems...
These problems are created by those who do not benefit from this thing. It's getting ridiculous: the cost of telephone communications between Russia and Belarus is higher than between Russia and the USA. There is nowhere to go further,” concluded Kandybovich.
According to him, while officials were solving the problem, citizens solved it themselves by starting to call each other via the Internet.
Russia and Belarus are discussing the possibility of abolishing roaming from the end of 2018. It is expected to begin phasing out in September.
