Per-minute tariffs are inconvenient because even for a short outgoing call that lasts a few seconds, an amount equal to paying for a whole minute is withdrawn from the SIM card account. Sometimes this can be inconvenient; those who do not have long conversations on the phone are forced to constantly overpay.
Taking into account the needs of all its subscribers, it introduced the “Second” tariff in 2021. Its advantage is that the user only pays for the actual connection time. For example, if an outgoing call lasted one and a half minutes, he will pay for exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds of communication.
Important! The option does not provide restrictions on the number of minutes spent and SMS sent.
Description of the “Second” tariff from Beeline
Beeline offers a new tariff “Second”.
The operator, as part of the “Second” package, offers subscribers a fixed cost for calls. The price is presented per minute, but negotiations are paid per second. In this case, the connection time is rounded up to 2 digits.
Example:
The Beeline subscriber talked on the phone for 2 minutes and 33 seconds. Payment is withdrawn for the period: 2*60 + 40 (rounding 33) = 160 seconds.
The call is made outside the home network, the cost of 1 minute is 5 rubles. 30 kopecks The following is debited from the user's account for this connection:
5.30 rub./60 x 160 seconds = 14 rub. 14 kopecks
The calculation is made for a call within the Beeline network, but outside the home zone. Negotiations with subscribers of third-party operators, incl. international ones are calculated similarly.
The cost of a minute is taken according to the terms of the tariff package (more details on the official website of the cellular company - https://moskva.beeline.ru/customers/products/mobile/tariffs/details/posekundniy/).
What is the “Second” tariff plan?
Features of the
Beeline “Second” tariff will allow everyone who connects not to pay for the tariff for the time of an additional connection that was not used. The tariff plan does not round up mobile phone calls to the nearest minute. That is, only seconds are counted. If previously a subscriber paid per minute, but spoke on the phone for only a few seconds, he had to pay the entire tariffed amount.
You need to pay attention: now the minute is divided into a certain amount, and payment goes exactly for the time spent talking.
Who is the tariff plan for:
- those who talk on the phone for days;
- for those who love saving;
- those who value every second of conversation.
Tariff rates for trips within Russia and abroad
Tariff conditions for travel within Russia change. During travel, national roaming conditions apply, i.e. the home region becomes the one in which the Beeline subscriber is located at the time of connection. Calculation of the cost of negotiations per second.
Tariffing for communications while traveling:
| Call conditions | Cost per minute, rub. |
| Inbox | 0 |
| Within the network (home zone) | 1,93 |
| To numbers of operators of other companies registered in the region where the Beeline user is located | 1,93 |
| For clients of other cellular communication companies whose SIM cards are registered in other areas | 12,79 |
When preliminary calculating the cost of negotiations when traveling within the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account that the home region and the zone of stay of a Beeline network user are different terms.
Example:
The client purchased a SIM card from the Beeline operator in Omsk, but at the time of the conversation he is in Kaluga.
In this case, Omsk is the home region, Kaluga is the user’s zone of residence. Accordingly, the price of cellular communication services in these cities differs.
The cost of sending text notifications while traveling when moving around the Russian Federation is 2.03 rubles. for SMS.
How to disable the tariff
The “Second” tariff, like many others, cannot be disabled. When you switch to another tariff plan, it is automatically deactivated. In order to make sure that the activation of another service was successful, you need to dial the following combination *110*05# and call. After a few seconds, you will receive a message about your connected tariff plan.
Read: Beeline tariff “All for 900”. Description of the tariff plan
If, after some time, you again want to return to the “Second” tariff , then in any case you will have to pay for the transition.
This is a very convenient tariff plan, because you only pay for the actual use of call time. For example, you made a call lasting 90 seconds , then you will pay for this time, and not for two minutes (120 seconds) of the connection.
Reviews from subscribers are divided into two types: for some it is quite suitable and they consider this tariff to be economical, while others do not like it due to the lack of bonus traffic and the very expensive price of mobile Internet. It will be ideal for those who want to save money on conversations, both in their home region and beyond.
We can conclude that this tariff plan is most suitable for people who like to talk briefly and are not focused on constantly using the mobile Internet.

- SMS to CIS countries – 7 rubles/piece;
- MMC – 6.45 for any direction.
As for the Internet, standard prices for high-speed traffic apply here. That is, 1 MB costs 9.90 rubles. Of course, the price for a high-speed connection on a package is quite high. However, if a subscriber needs more affordable traffic, he can always connect to additional web services.
One of these services is the Highway option. The function involves the accrual of additional GB for a certain subscription fee. Accrual occurs once a month. Within the Highway, a subscriber can be credited with: 1, 4, 8, 12 and 20 GB. As for the cost, for additional packages you will have to pay 200, 400, 600, 700 and 1,200 rubles, respectively.
For clients who need a web connection occasionally, the “Internet for a day” function is available for connection. As part of the service, a subscriber can get 100 MB for 19 rubles and 500 MB for 29 rubles.
For users who often leave their region, but want to use a web connection on favorable terms, the “Internet for traveling around the country” function is available. The option can be activated for either 7 or 30 calendar days. The cost of weekly use of the function is 99 rubles, a package for a month will cost 199 rubles. As part of the service, you will be able to use any of the Internet services outside your home region at standard prices. More detailed information on the operation of the service can be viewed on the official website of the mobile operator.
Also, for profitable use of the high-speed network when traveling around the Russian Federation and the world, the “Most profitable Internet in roaming” function is available for connection. According to the terms of the function, when traveling abroad, the user will be provided with 40 MB of traffic. The cost of the service is 200 rubles. Moreover, the conditions remain the same both when traveling around the country and when traveling around the world.
If you need unlimited Internet, then you should like the “Extend Speed” feature. Despite the fact that all Beeline web packages can be called conditionally unlimited, this option can be activated up to 15 times a day. Immediately after connection, the user will have access to 1 or 3 GB worth 100 and 200 rubles, respectively. After the limit is completely spent on the number, it will be turned on. According to the terms of the package, each time after the quota is exhausted, the subscriber will be credited with 150 GB of traffic worth 20 rubles.
Methods for connecting to a tariff plan
You can switch to the new Beeline package in different ways: via SMS, through the service center, personal account, or by calling the operator back.
Voice menu
A Beeline cellular user dials the service number 067470260 on his smartphone. An answering machine answers. Using commands, the desired service package is activated.
Call to a short number
You can change the tariff using a mobile phone by dialing a short combination of numbers 0611. The operator will answer this call, clarify the user’s personal data and activate the offer of interest.
Personal Area

Service center
In this case, the user visits the nearest Beeline store. Here, the company’s specialists help you connect to another package of services.
How to switch to the “Second” tariff
You can connect to the “Second” tariff plan in three ways:
- By submitting an application on the Beeline website, the network will check the possibility of connection. Further transition is carried out through your personal account. There are no USSD combinations for transfer;
- Transferring a number from another operator - submit a request on the website, indicating a contact phone number to contact the courier. In some localities, to obtain a SIM card with a temporary number for transfer, you will have to contact the nearest service office;
- By purchasing a SIM card with a new number at service offices.
In the latter case, we recommend making a purchase on the website, and then selecting an office to receive a SIM card. Otherwise, you will have to deal with sellers who do not want to sell SIM cards with tariffs without a subscription fee (this trend can be seen at many points of sale, although from a legal point of view this is prohibited).
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- free tariff activation/deactivation;
- no monthly fee;
- per second billing for calls.
Flaws:
- high cost of calls outside the home area;
- separate connection of additional services.
But for those who use the Internet only through a PC, laptop, tablet, and do not like to write SMS and talk on the phone for a long time (they use it for short business calls), the “Second” package is the most advantageous offer from the Beeline line.
Tariff features
It should be noted that tariffs with per-second billing, despite numerous positive reviews about the tariff, there are not so many such offers in the country. Despite this, a similar offer with per-second billing can be found in every region of the country. As for the “Second” tariff specifically, we can say that it is present in almost every region of Russia. At the same time, it should be noted that the conditions for providing communication services at such a tariff are different in each region. Therefore, before connecting to this tariff plan, the specifics of the offer should be clarified with the support service or in the campaign store.
Additional Information
On the “Second” tariff, all local telephone calls are paid per second. Connections shorter than 3 seconds are free. Prices for operator services including VAT.
When switching to the “Second” package, the connected “Favorite number” option is deactivated, because it is not provided as part of the tariff.
If the client has not used communication services since the conclusion of the agreement with the Beeline operator, i.e. has not made any payments for 240 calendar days, the contract is automatically terminated.
Service cost
The transition to the “Second” Tariff is in most cases free of charge, but there are exceptions. The cost of transition in some areas will be 50 rubles. one-time. Due to the fact that there is no subscription fee attached to the tariff, this results in significant monthly savings!
Some differences in prices by region are associated with outgoing long-distance and international numbers. Total price – 0.03 rub./sec. – applies to calls in the connection region to all numbers of mobile providers. The “Second” tariff from Beeline will be an ideal choice for those who are used to calling only on business and quickly: due to laconicism, the inability to talk on the phone for a long time or professional activity, not every person needs unlimited calls or SMS.
Similar rates
Beeline, in addition to the “Second” tariff, offers its customers both combined functions that provide packaged services for a month, and options with per-second payment.
For example, for clients in the Moscow region for whom the “Second” tariff is not available, Beeline offers to use a similar “Per Second” package.
A second for outgoing calls to any Moscow operator numbers is 5 kopecks. Incoming calls are free. There is also no monthly subscription fee.
How to connect a tariff
Many subscribers are interested in the question: “ How to switch to Beeline’s “Second” tariff ?” There are several ways to do this:
- You can call 067 470 260 and use the answering machine prompts to make a connection.
- You can call customer support at 06 11.
- Go to the company’s official website and in the “Services” , select the tariff plan to which you want to switch.
- You can seek help from the company’s office, where experienced employees will help you understand this issue. When using this option, you must have your passport with you, and if you are applying on behalf of another person, then you must have a power of attorney certified by a notary.
The connection will be free if 30 or more days have passed since the last switch to another tariff. If a smaller amount has passed, then the cost of such an operation will be 50 rubles . If you have this tariff plan connected, then the “Favorite numbers” option is automatically disabled.
This tariff is not valid in all regions of Russia; So in Moscow and in the region it is impossible to connect it; here only a tariff plan can be activated, which is very similar to this one - the “Per-Second” tariff. Using Sekunda is only possible for subscribers of the prepaid payment system. At the same time, you must top up your phone with a certain amount of money in order to use this tariff plan without any problems.
