Tourist operator GoodLine decided not to “strain” subscribers with variety and left only one “Good-Roaming” tariff plan available for connection. What is included in this tariff plan, and what you will have to pay for additionally, we will consider in the material.

Is Goodline a cool operator?

Yes, great! No, I don’t like it!

Current version. Rate information updated July 8, 2019

Special rates

In this regard, mobile communication providers often hold various promotions and provide discounts on communications with other countries, trying to find the most affordable tariff for their subscribers. However, this is not always possible - often users still cannot afford the costs imposed by companies. Even various options for working only in one direction, in a specific country, cannot become significantly cheaper due to the presence of two mobile operators - yours and a foreign one.

General terms

All Goodline tariffs presented in retail chains and on the Internet are characterized by several features. First of all, this is the focus of tariffs on international connections, manifested in a reduced per-minute rate for calls in different directions.

In addition, the following advantages of Goodline SIM cards should be highlighted:

• The ability to make free calls to Russian numbers using Skype or Viber without an Internet connection;
• Free inbox in 144 countries;
• Packet Internet at an affordable cost.

At the same time, an advantageous difference between Goodline tariffs and competitors is the absence of a subscription fee, as well as the presence of numerous promotions that allow you to effectively save on communication abroad.

Goodline boasts that its tariff line includes not only mobile offers, but also regular Internet. Tariffs, as a rule, differ in speed and the availability of additional options and services, such as wi-fi set-top boxes and cable TV.

Alternative

If a user cannot afford to spend so much on mobile communications while abroad, he has several ways out of this situation. The first is to simply stop using cell phones. Now there are a lot of Internet services that allow you to communicate with each other. Most of them are free. But communication via the network is not always convenient, and sometimes becomes completely impossible.

The second method is to purchase a special SIM card from another operator, whose tariffs are more affordable. Often we are talking about some international providers who issue their own SIM cards specifically for travel. We will talk about just one of these in this article. So if you decide to go somewhere, it will be useful to you.

Special operator

This is about . Reviews left about it on the Internet indicate that this is a supplier of so-called tourist SIM cards. This is essentially what we mentioned earlier - the ability to purchase a dedicated card for communication between countries. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the final price of services is an order of magnitude lower compared to our largest telecom operators. Even if you compare the prices of various special offers of our “regular” operators and the cost of calls provided by the GoodLine SIM card, the difference will be huge.

Concept

The general model of the company's activities is very simple. Either they give you a card with which calls are much cheaper to Russian numbers and, in turn, are free if they call you from Russian numbers, or you link your “native” number to the GoodLine card. Reviews note that the second option is, of course, more convenient (since you save your number). But according to the conditions specified on the operator’s website, it costs 15 cents more.

This company offers not only cheap calls. There are also tariff plans that provide Internet traffic at a special price. This means that you will be able to use mobile Internet while somewhere abroad.

Connection

To connect a tourist SIM card from the Goodline operator, just like any other SIM card, you first need to purchase it. To purchase a Goodline SIM card, follow these steps:

1. Go to the official Goodline website goodline.ru.
2. Go to the “Subscribers” section and select “Where to buy” in the menu that opens.
3. Next, indicate the city you are in (if you wish, you can indicate the nearest metro station to you).
4. After this, a list of all stores where you can purchase a tourist SIM card will be provided, as well as their addresses.
5. Select the store closest to you and go to the indicated address (don't forget to take your passport with you).
6. Buy a SIM card with the tariff plan you need.
7. Insert the SIM card into your mobile phone.
8. Now you can use all connected .

Goodline SIM cards can be purchased from representatives; store addresses are presented on the official website.

Services

In fact, the operating model (Russia) resembles how other mobile operators operate. Here, in particular, they service client numbers and support the operation of your SIM cards. Here they develop their own tariff plans and provide service packages (minutes, messages, traffic) for a certain price.

In addition to serving private clients, GoodLine (reviews confirm this) also helps companies interested in mobile communication services. For example, these could be some kind of corporate data packages that apply to several interconnected mobile numbers.

The company also provides other services. For example, there is an online store that sells goods that you may need in the future while traveling. They also offer room service services, such as account replenishment.

True, domestic operators in some ways can offer more than GoodLine. For example, the company to which this review is dedicated does not provide TV services. And in roaming, this is probably not such a pressing issue.

Goodline hotline number

If the client needs professional advice, he can call the phone number

An important advantage of contacting a consultation center is that all calls are made absolutely free. Qualified specialists are ready to answer any questions from potential or existing clients

Operators provide advice on any questions regarding the telecommunications services provided by GoodLine. For example, experts will tell you what the cost of certain services is, how to connect to the GoodLine operator, and where the company’s regional branches are located.

If clients are abroad, they can call an additional hotline7. Consultants will answer any questions regarding the organization’s activities

It is important to note that the first 3 minutes of conversation are not charged, completely free, after which the client will pay for each minute of conversation in accordance with the operator’s conditions. Usually three minutes is enough to get an answer to your question.

Rates

At the time of writing, in the “Tariffs” section of the GoodLine website (which, obviously, is dedicated to the cost of services in the system), two plans were presented that a subscriber can choose. One of them is “Planet-Good” (an option that allows you to make calls, write messages and use the Internet). In particular, the cost of incoming calls in more than 140 countries is 0, the price of a minute from Europe to Russia (landline numbers in Moscow and St. Petersburg) is $0.05, other numbers are $0.29, other countries are $0.49. From the USA to Russia the call price is $0.49, from China — $0.29. And on the company’s website there are several more directions and services provided for by this tariff.

The second package, described in the “Tariffs” section of the GoodLine website, is called “Good-Internet”. It includes options that indicate the relationship between a certain amount of traffic (for example, 10 MB) and the price for 1 day of use ($1). The maximum package is 2 GB of data, which costs $100. The option is valid for 30 days.

Special offers

In addition to the services described above, the company provides special promotional offers. For example, one of these is profitable account replenishment (according to the official rate of the Central Bank). This also includes a 10 percent discount on goods from the online store (tablets, phones, insurance policies, etc. are sold here), as well as a program for accumulating special “mile-minutes.” This means that the more a subscriber talks on the phone, the more he can ultimately benefit from working with . Reviews indicate that upon reaching a certain number of bonuses, the client is given the opportunity to use the airline’s services for free, receive free hotel accommodation and other benefits.

About Goodline

Goodline is the first Russian mobile operator to provide profitable roaming services abroad. It was possible to create favorable conditions thanks to direct cooperation with foreign telecom operators, as well as our own telecommunications developments.

The company has been successfully operating in the telecommunications market since 2004. During this time, the company was able to create unique tourist SIM cards that provide Goodline communications in roaming up to 10 times cheaper. Today, Goodline is the undisputed leader in the sales of tourist SIM cards in Russia. The number of subscribers at the beginning of 2021 was one million people. At the same time, the number of company subscribers is constantly growing.

Reviews

The customer testimonials we found on some sites with reviews and characteristics of mobile operators actually praise the company, recommend its services and note its low service prices. Many claim that they have begun to seriously save money using tariffs to which they can connect a GoodLine number. If we count the money that a subscriber would pay for calls with other Russian operators, he would spend many times more. Therefore, we see a lot of positive feedback from the company’s clients.

Another thing is the various problems that arose in the process of cooperation. In this regard, we also found a lot of negative comments. There are fewer of them, of course, but they exist. Users complain that money is disappearing from their account uncontrollably, or that the final cost of services turned out to be higher than what was previously announced.

Users also emphasize that the disadvantage of the card is the inability to check it and activate it in Russia. That is, in fact, you can find out whether your phone will be accessible or not only after you get to another country. And this, you see, is a risk that not everyone is ready to take.

And finally, another problem is the slightly confusing pricing. That is, if you call to one country and they call you from another, this is understandable. But, for example, this is a fact: the GoodLine subscriber number is serviced by an Estonian operator. If you receive calls from Russia, you do not pay for incoming calls, but your subscriber will pay twice as much, since he has roaming.

How to check your balance and pay for communications

You can check the current account status using the following methods:

• dial command *146*099#;
• check through your personal account.

You can top up your phone balance using the following methods:

1. Bank card. You can top up your account in this way through the website goodline.ru, or using Internet banking. Replenishment is carried out at the Central Bank rate, when replenishing from $50. If desired, the subscriber can set up automatic payment (in this case, an additional 20% of the payment amount will be added to the phone balance).
2. In communication shops or travel agencies. In this case, all actions to top up the phone balance are carried out by an employee of the salon or agency. The subscriber will only need to provide a phone number and make a payment. Payment is made at the rate: 1 $ = 66 rubles.
3. Payment terminals. Any payment terminal is suitable for this method. They are usually located in shopping centers and communication stores. To top up, you need to go to the “Phone” section, then select an operator, indicate the phone number and make a payment. Payment is made at the rate: 1 $ = 66 rubles.
4. Online wallet. You can top up your account using the following services: Yandex Money, Webmoney, Liqpay, Elexnet. Payment can be made in dollars or rubles.

conclusions

So, what did we find out about the work?

Everyone knows how to call, how to activate a card and how to top up an account. These are not some complex actions that require additional information. Therefore, there should be no problems here. But as for tariffs and various hidden conditions, here you will really need to try to identify them all. After all, the plans are laid out very cunningly; the subscriber must “rummage” through the tariffs and understand what they are talking about. Then calls from GoodLine can indeed become very profitable.

GoodLine mobile internet packages on the “Good-Roaming” tariff

Notes on the table

• * - “Extra Auto” and “Extra Auto 1$” with auto-renewal.
• **— “Super package” is activated automatically for $5, which is debited from your balance. The option cannot be disabled, only switching to another package is possible. If you later disable another package, the “Super Package” will reconnect automatically, but for free.

General terms

All Goodline tariffs presented in retail chains and on the Internet are characterized by several features. First of all, this is the focus of tariffs on international connections, manifested in a reduced per-minute rate for calls in different directions.

In addition, the following advantages of Goodline SIM cards should be highlighted:

• The ability to make free calls to Russian numbers using Skype or Viber without an Internet connection;
• Free inbox in 144 countries;
• Packet Internet at an affordable cost.

At the same time, an advantageous difference between Goodline tariffs and competitors is the absence of a subscription fee, as well as the presence of numerous promotions that allow you to effectively save on communication abroad.

Goodline boasts that its tariff line includes not only mobile offers, but also regular Internet. Tariffs, as a rule, differ in speed and the availability of additional options and services, such as wi-fi set-top boxes and cable TV.

Traffic volume in Goodline’s “Good-Internet” tariff

Of course, the traffic volume may be exhausted before the package expires. In this case, the subscriber can increase the volume of traffic for an additional fee or pay separately for each session. This tariff plan provides additional services. The user can find out who called him when the phone was turned off. It is possible to send a free message requesting a call if your balance is zero. You can use the following: “Voicemail” and “Call Hold”. Even when roaming, you can keep your Russian number.

List of services included in the “Good-Travel” tariff

• voice mail;
• sending MMS messages;
• notification of the subscriber about missed calls;
• conference call;
• finding out the location of the Goodline subscriber;
• call forwarding;
• call hold and “Call me.”

The latter service allows you to send a message to another subscriber asking to call back. Very relevant for zero and negative balance. One of the important special services on the specified tariff plan is the preservation of a Russian number. (This service is described in detail on our website in this article)

There is no need to tell your friends and family your new European number. In case of an incoming call, the call will be forwarded. Using the “Express Traveler Assistance” service, you can call the police, rescue service, or ambulance from anywhere in Europe using a single number if necessary.

You can call the Goodline number completely free of charge from the Internet form or Skype. The tariff is managed directly from the subscriber’s personal account on the website.

To connect to the “Good-Travel” tariff plan, you will need to install a newly purchased SIM card and enter a command that allows you to activate the starting balance.

If you are a Goodline subscriber and want to switch from one tariff plan to another, you can do this through a team, personal account or operator. By the way, it is impossible to switch to “Good-Travel” from some tariff plans. Corporate clients of the mobile operator do not have this option either.
