How much does it cost to send SMS from Russia to Ukraine from mobile to mobile?

Sometimes subscribers of Russian mobile operators have to make calls not only to numbers in their own or neighboring regions, but also international ones. Moreover, most of these challenges occur in Ukraine. Each operator has convenient tariff plans, using which you can significantly save on calls with foreign subscribers. Next, we will talk about two tariffs that offer the best conditions:

• “Warm welcome” from Megafon;
• “Your Country” from MTS.

Also in this material we will look at the advantages of a good alternative - IP telephony, with which you can make cheap calls to nearby countries.

How much does a call to Armenia from MTS cost?

The cost without special options and tariffs depends on a number of factors:

1. Directions.
2. The selected tariff plan from the client.
3. Region and conditions of the operator.

Therefore, the cost must be found out directly to the client according to his plan, taking into account which country the call is being made to and to which operator’s number. But costs can be reduced by:

• "Profitable calls to other countries."
• “Favorite number of Ukraine and Armenia.”
• Special tariff “Your country”.

You can choose the appropriate connection option. It is important to study the conditions for each solution in order to make a choice among them in the future.

Cheap calls to mobiles

SIPNET offers favorable conditions for calls to mobile phones serviced by Ukrainian telephone operators, including Astelit, GT, InterTelekom, KievStar, Telesystems, Ukrtelecom, UMC, URS.

You can also make cheap calls to mobile phones of subscribers of such major operators as:

• MTS;
• Megaphone;
• Beeline;
• Kyivstar;
• Life;
• Tele 2.

Your country

This MTS tariff is suitable for calls to Armenia and Ukraine. This is the most suitable solution.

Today the company does not have a special tariff, which is designed specifically for communication with other countries. Therefore, you will have to be content with the available options. Let's study together the conditions of the Your Country program:

1. To the phones of subscribers with the Your Country plan - 1 rub.
2. On MTS – 2.5 rubles.
3. For other operators – 2.5 rubles.
4. To other regions – 5 rubles.
5. On Vivasell – 3 rubles up to 30 minutes per day.
6. Starting from 31 – 5 rubles.
7. Other operators – 20 rubles.
8. MTS and Vodafone of Ukraine – 3.5 rubles.
9. Other numbers – 20 rub.
10. SMS within Russia – 2.5 rubles.
11. In the CIS – 3 rubles.

The plan is not the cheapest. Initially it was developed for communication within Russia. Relatives or friends can connect to one program and pay only 1 ruble per minute.

Advantageous calls to Armenia on MTS and to Ukraine are available. But you can only contact your interlocutor at discounted prices on MTS and Vodafone. Therefore, your relatives will need to connect to these operators.

In general, the program is well suited for international calls. But the company also has special offers that will allow you to save money on communications.

IP telephony is the cheapest way

To make truly profitable calls to any Ukrainian phone number, we recommend paying attention to IP telephony technology. In addition, you don’t have to spend money on purchasing additional accessories for communication. However, if you wish, you can separately buy a special VOIP phone or adapter for more comfortable communication. If you don’t want to spend money on additional equipment, then you can limit yourself to the following:

• a computer with a stable Internet connection;
• headset with microphone;
• a program installed on the PC through which calls will be made;
• a paid account with a pre-selected IP operator.

When studying offers from companies providing such services, you should take a close look at the tariffs and choose the most acceptable offer . At the same time, prices for calls on some similar sites are much higher than those of mobile operators. Therefore, before registering and making payment, it is recommended to study all offers.

You also need to pay attention to the mobile or landline operator of the Ukrainian subscriber you need to call. This is due to the fact that companies involved in IP telephony often do not set a single price for communication with all operators in a particular country. So a call to a landline number can cost on average 5 rubles per minute. Conversations with subscribers of mobile operators will be a little more expensive.

Unlimited calls to Ukraine and Armenia

There is a special offer - Favorite number. But the subscriber in another country must be connected to MTS or Vodafone. This fact must be taken into account when activating.

What conditions apply:

• Calls from Russia to your favorite phones – 0 rubles.

This is suitable for people who often call relatives in these countries. You can connect a special service and communicate with them without restrictions. But it is not cheap, so you should think about the need to activate it.

It’s easy to connect MTS roaming and stay connected around the world

MTS is the largest provider of communication services, covering the entire territory of Russia and part of the CIS countries. The operator’s subscriber network is really huge, so the question of how to enable roaming on MTS arises for a large number of users, and this is exactly what we want to answer in this article!

It is worth immediately paying attention to the fact that this option appears automatically when the client travels outside his region, however, the tariffs for cellular communications in this case are very impressive.

Therefore, frequent travelers are looking for alternative options on how to enable roaming abroad on MTS, and we propose to look into this issue in more detail.

When a subscriber travels abroad, he leaves the network coverage area, so the SIM card connects to the foreign network and uses its resources (roaming). This explains the special tariffs for calls, SMS messages, and Internet traffic. Conventionally, a person is forced to pay for the services of both his own and a foreign operator, so he has to pay quite a lot.

1. The Crimean peninsula has a special geographical location and is served only by local operators, therefore, to communicate with it, it is proposed to subscribe to a package with minimal rates for calls and SMS.
2. National - designed for inexpensive conversations within the network between subscribers located in different cities of Russia.
3. MTS international roaming – connecting to the service is beneficial for subscribers who often travel to other countries.
4. Network is the best option for calling numbers of other operators.

For MTS subscribers, connecting to international roaming abroad will allow you to reduce the cost of calls and communication, as well as always stay in touch while in any country in the world.

As soon as a subscriber leaves the country, his mobile phone is connected to the local operator’s network and communication is charged at double the rate. To avoid this, you need to install roaming on MTS - additional packages

The following connection conditions apply - the option is available to subscribers who have been using a cellular operator’s communications for at least six months with costs of at least 650 rubles and to subscribers who have been using cellular communications for 12 months, regularly replenishing their balance.

If the conditions are met, the international tariff is activated. This is done by sending the combination *111*2192# and then calling, or by calling the call center 8-800-250-08-90.

• Through a personal profile on the website - go to the personal section, select the settings menu, find the “service connection” section and activate the required option;

• If the listed options do not suit you, but you need to enable MTS international roaming: to do this, contact the nearest telecom operator office, whose employees will perform the required actions in a few minutes.
• You can check whether you succeeded in connecting the option using the combination *111*33# + call.

If you don’t remember whether you disabled the service or forgot to do it, then use the site. Log in and check the list of active options. It’s even easier to do this on a smartphone if the application is installed - the “Services” button is located in the most visible place.

If you do not use the Internet, call the call center 0890, although you will have to wait for a connection with a consultant; sometimes the waiting time can be up to half an hour.

Which option should I choose?

Many will refuse the Your Country tariff. Local communication via it is quite expensive, and it is not very profitable for further use. Therefore, this option should not be considered.

If you often talk with the countries represented, we recommend connecting “Benefits...”. It allows you to get attractive prices and there is no subscription fee.

Do you talk to your relatives a lot? Then activate the Favorite number option. Its key advantage is complete unlimited trading.

The downside is the high subscription fee. But with frequent calls, it will fully pay for itself within a month. Before making a decision, carefully study your needs and determine the total duration of calls.

Profitable international calls from MTS. Description of service

Especially for those subscribers who often call abroad, the service of profitable international calls from MTS is provided in 2019.

The subscription fee is charged at the time of connection, so there must be a sufficient amount in the subscriber account. You can activate this service in several ways:

• in your personal account;
• using a special combination *111*902#, typed on the smartphone keyboard;
• by sending an SMS message with the text 902 to number 111 (this is free both within the Home region and in intranet, national and international roaming.

According to the description of the service, the cost of one minute of call to phone numbers in different countries is:

More profitable than telephone communication

Anyone can use SIPNET, including smartphone owners. Thanks to SIP telephony, you can save on telephone communications and also achieve better connection quality. The cost of calls through the NetCall (for smartphone) and Sippoint (for computer) applications is significantly lower than the prices for communication services from regular telephone operators.

Among other things, this is explained by the fact that in SIPNET each call can be serviced by several VoIP operators. They all offer different connection conditions: call cost and call quality. But you don’t have to worry about it - SIPNET will automatically select an operator that provides the best quality of communication at an affordable price specifically for your call.

How to activate the “Warm Welcome” tariff on Megafon
