IP telephony has been restricted in Russia
In Russia, calls via the Internet to mobile and landline phones have been limited. The government explained such measures as the fight against telephone fraud.
According to a government decree, Russia is no longer issuing licenses for the transmission of Internet data with the overlay of voice information. This allowed people to use the Internet to communicate with a subscriber using landline telephone and mobile communication networks.
“Most often, such technologies were used by fraudsters, since it made it possible to replace numbers. Now this type of telephone fraud will be seriously limited, since the possibility of connecting data networks to telephone networks will be excluded,” the document says.

The authorities assured that the restriction of IP telephony in Russia “will not in any way affect ordinary telephone users.” It is noted that for calls via the Internet, Russians can use instant messengers that are not subject to a ban.
However, earlier Roskomnadzor allowed the possibility of introducing a complete ban in instant messengers on incoming calls from abroad. The department noted that currently telecom operators can block calls from abroad by default, but in the future this may require legislative measures.
In October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs accused the Ukrainian special services of involvement in false reports about the mining of airports, train stations, theaters and shopping centers in Russia, as well as the theft of money from the bank accounts of Russians and companies in the country. Deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Zubov said that “the number of such crimes is growing.”
