Do you remember how many congratulations you received on the last New Year or birthday? Who were they from? Unlikely. There is nothing more formulaic than SMS mailings and rhymes on social networks. Such congratulations are erased from memory faster than clearing history in instant messengers. Do you want your message to remain in the heart of a dear person for a long time? There is one new, almost forgotten old way to wish your loved ones a happy holiday.

Telegram to you

The telegraph is one of the oldest means of communication. The first electromagnetic telegraph appeared in Russia over 180 years ago. The device was invented by Pavel Schilling. In 1832 he presented it to the public. Since then, telegrams have become an integral part of people's lives.

In the Soviet Union, a telegram was an event and was given on the occasion of the event.

The teleprinter tape was treated with awe. This is not an SMS for you! Today, at least all day long, exchange instant messages with or without: “Hello! How are you?”,“The weather is good”,“Listen to the anecdote …”,“Oh, I’m not for you!”. Then, in order to send a telegram, you had to go to the post office, stand in line, choose a form and come up with a short but succinct text.

The telegrams marked really important events. This is not just a message - behind each of them were the stories and fates of real people. This is probably why telegrams, especially congratulatory ones, were not thrown away, but cherished, re-read, put in a prominent place.

With the development of modern means of communication, telegraph romance is becoming a thing of the past. Why go somewhere if you can send an email or message from the comfort of your couch? In 2006, Western Union, which had been transmitting text messages by telegraph for a hundred and fifty years, stopped providing this service … America and Europe said goodbye to telegrams.

But in Russia you can still send and receive a congratulatory telegram. This service continues to be provided by "". Moreover, the company keeps pace with the times. In order for a loved one anywhere in the country to receive a colorful postcard in person, you no longer need to go anywhere. It is enough to install the mobile application.

TChK

"ТЧК" is an application for iOS and Android for sending telegrams.

At the first start, you need to enter your phone number and go through authorization through the SMS confirmation code. Then you need to enter your email. If you wish, you can also fill in the fields with your data (last name and first name, region, city).

You can download a list of friends from Odnoklassniki and VKontakte, or use your phone's address book to receive notifications about upcoming birthdays.

Also, the application will remind you of state and national holidays. The list of events important to you can be edited manually.

After selecting the recipient from the list of contacts or adding a new one, you can start composing the text. But sometimes, when feelings are overwhelmed and there is a limit on the number of words (this is a telegram!), It is difficult to find the right phrases. It's good that you can use one of the ready-made templates. They can be edited to your liking: put a name, add something or delete something.

But the main feature is telegraphic abbreviations. In this mode, you enter the usual punctuation marks, and the application itself translates them into PTC and ZPT. This adds atmosphere. It turns out a real telegram, as before.:)

Having dealt with the text, we select the form. There are simply beautiful, and there are retro postcards, which breathe with childhood memories. With a skating rink on Red Square, with Christmas tree decorations. Remember?

Next, select the delivery date. Your telegram will be delivered right on time and handed over to you personally.

The last step is payment. This is also convenient: through a Sberbank card, instantly, safely and without commission. Shipping cost depends on the tariff area. There are three of them, all the cities and towns of our vast Motherland are distributed over them. When paying, you can also enter a promotional code, if there is one, and get a discount.

That's all! Literally five minutes, and a congratulatory telegram is already flying to the person close to you.

The TChK application is a modern look at the good old traditions. Telegrams are such a rarity these days that they may well be considered not just a congratulation, but a unique gift. Give your family and friends attention through telegrams!
