Content can be watched on a TV screen with Smart TV, on smartphones and tablets with a mobile application, on laptops and computers on the wink.am video portal. Thus, users get a unique opportunity to easily and conveniently receive high-quality content, regardless of location and without additional equipment.

And a special offer - connecting the "Wink 5-in-1" package, the first 30 days of services will be available for only 1 AMD. This package combines top content from five popular Russian online cinemas, and the price is significantly lower than signing up for each of them separately.

“I am elated and proud to present our initiative, which I consider extremely important and innovative in terms of the development of digital services in Armenia. Constantly introducing innovative solutions, as well as taking into account the dynamic transition of the modern world to digital solutions, today “Rostelecom Armenia” presents a unique “Wink” video service to Armenian users. First of all, “Wink” provides interesting and high-quality content: tens of thousands of rated films and series, as well as TV channels, karaoke and other additional services, which makes the video service interesting for every family member. We are launching “Wink” in the Armenian market with affordable price packages starting from AMD 2500 per month.

“We are pleased that Rostelecom's flagship and fast-growing digital product has entered a new prospective market and will operate in another country for the first time. The “Wink” video service is flexible and can adapt to each user, so it will be convenient and easy for Armenian subscribers to spend their leisure time with it. We take a very responsible approach to the development of our content library, paying special attention to what the younger generation consumes. It is no coincidence that cartoons and films for children and teenagers are always in the top views. But, of course, we have films and series for all tastes and age groups. It’s no secret that a lot of cool specialists with Armenian roots work in the Russian film serial industry, and their best projects are also presented in “Wink”, said Anton Volodkin, General Director of development for the “Wink” video service at Rostelecom’s corporate center.

“Rostelecom” introduced the “Wink” brand in 2018 by launching a new multimedia platform created by IT developers of the group of companies. This became a fundamentally new stage in the development of IPTV and online cinema services, which the company had previously provided for a number of years.

The Wink video service provides the maximum set of additional services, including Watch Control (pause live broadcast, rewind, return to the beginning of the program, archive the programs), Parental Control (restriction of content depending on age), Multiscreen (you can connect to one account up to 5 devices) and others. You can download your favorite series and movie in advance and watch it later even offline.
