'We’ve been on the cellular communication market for five years now, and we’ve managed to persuade over three million people to use our services so far. MegaFon Ural is currently operating in 355 cities and towns based in ten different regions of Russia - and they are all united by a single home-area network. This means MegaFon Ural could provide reliable communication services to all the 15.5 million people living within this area. At the moment, every one in five people living in the Urals prefers to use MegaFon Ural,’ MegaFon Ural’s General Director Denis Malyshev announced at a press conference on August 3, 2007.

'We’ve been given quite a few awards already, including, for instance, the Medal of Honor given to us for our proactive marketing policies at the InfoCom 2005 exhibition in Yekaterinburg, the medal we were awarded with for development and introduction of advanced means of communication (which was at the InfoCom 2006 exhibition), and the gold medal our company got for the project known as My Vmeste (We Are Together) at the SvyazPromExpo 2006 exhibition. This year, MegaFon Ural received a letter of thanks from the President of Russian Public Relations Association, which was a way of acknowledging our contribution to PR development,’ Mr. Malyshev said.
