The largest cellular companies and providers in Russia are fighting for customers. Someone creates attractive offers through the introduction of innovative technologies, for example, the launch of a 4G network, they begin to dump, reduce prices for options, and someone comes up with features that may be of interest to subscribers.
Yota offers exactly this. Users have the opportunity to independently create the necessary options, brick by brick, rather than choosing the most suitable one from a list of TPs. This is beneficial, because the subscriber receives greater freedom, flexibility in choice, and no overpayments for options that he does not use. If you need more GB, you can add it. For those who use their phones primarily for calls, you can get more minutes at great prices. Fans of social networks make their favorite services unlimited to avoid unnecessary expenses and overpayments.
This article will look at ways to change the tariff on iota.
How to change the tariff for Yota without an application
The very first way to change the Iota tariff without an application is to use the command via dialing.
To add an additional package of minutes: *106*X# , with X being the required number of minutes.
Add 100 minutes extra – *602#
Unlimited SMS – *603#
5 gigabytes over the package – *605#
Make social networks unlimited – *111*X# , where X is:
1 – VKontakte
2 – Facebook
3 – WhatsApp
4 – Viber
5 – Skype
6 – Telegram (now it is illegal, this option does not work!)
7 – Odnoklassniki
8 – Instagram
9 – Twitter
10 – YouTube
An alternative option is to contact the service center and come with a SIM card and passport. You can view the address of the nearest point in DoubleGIS.
For people who do not want to go to the service center on their own, there is an option to call the hotline number for the company’s clients and potential subscribers - 8-800-550-00-07 and get advice on how to change the tariff on iota.
How to change the service package in the mobile application?
The easiest way to set up a new Yota tariff is in the mobile application. You must first install it on your smartphone or tablet. The installation file is available on the company's official website. When downloading, you need to select the object that corresponds to the gadget’s operating system - Android or iOS. After installing the application, you need to quickly register in it. An account is created using a mobile phone number and password.
Next, the algorithm of actions will be as follows:
- log into the Yota application;
- on the main page at the bottom, find and go to “Change conditions”;
- indicate the required number of minutes, gigabytes;
- use the sliders to activate the package of additional services below;
- save changes;
- exit the section.
It is not possible to instantly change the old tariff to Yota on your phone. Until the end of the billing period, the subscriber will use the operator’s communication services under the same conditions. The new ones will take effect on the day the payment is written off. You need to make sure that there is a sufficient amount of funds in your account for this, otherwise the transfer will not happen.
Some operator features
Yota does not have a set of tariff plans. One basic one is provided. Its feature is changeability. The operator's subscribers configure the package themselves and select a list of useful options for themselves.
This is very convenient, because there is no rigid connection to standard values. The company's clients install:
- number of free minutes for outgoing calls within Russia;
- volume of Internet traffic;
- roaming;
- unlimited communication on social networks, SMS messages, etc.
Replacement and activation of options are performed using sliders on the ruler with values. When changing their positions at the top of the page, the monthly cost of the package will also change. Payment is easy to track. The mobile operator has special tariff plans - “Per-second” and “Per-megabyte”. If you want to switch to them, the subscriber will have to visit the company’s sales office with a passport. Changing a package without a mobile application is not so convenient, but these are the features of the Yota service.
How to change using the application
Yota was the first to launch a special program for smartphones and tablets, aimed at helping subscribers change TPs, contact technical support and receive a prompt response. You can check your balance, control expenses and receive information about the remaining minutes and GB. The program is freely available and can be downloaded from the Play Market or AppStore.
After downloading, installing and configuring, you will be able to instantly change options. At the bottom of the screen there is a blue inscription “Change conditions”. Click and you will be taken to the option selection window. If necessary, we add or subtract the number of minutes, Internet, you can enable unlimited SMS messages for 50 rubles, enable unlimited on certain services. The final cost will depend on this.
To understand which social networks are best to make unlimited, you need to look at the statistics on expenses on your phone. To do this, go to the settings, to the “Data transfer” section. Let's see which applications consume the most internet. Usually these are instant messengers, social networks, YouTube. We draw conclusions, make the necessary calculations and make a decision.
How to activate Yota SIM card on Android
Activating a Yota SIM card on Android devices is almost the same as on any other smartphone. Insert a new SIM card into your tablet or phone (note that this operator has its own cards for each type of device), turn on the device and wait until the activation notification appears and a bar with the signal strength appears at the top of the screen.
If it is not possible to automatically activate the SIM card, use the following instructions:
- Find the "Settings" menu item.
- Go to the “More” tab, then “Mobile network” - “APN access points” - “Change/Create a new access point”.
- Enter the Name - “Yota”, APN address - “internet.yota”.
- Save all changes and wait for your device to detect the new network. A network signal bar will appear at the top of the screen.
Many devices run on the Windows Phone operating system, and some of them are already using yota. As a rule, activation occurs automatically immediately after installing the SIM in the mobile phone. If this does not happen, then activate it manually.
- Go to the “Settings” tab - “Access point” - “Add access point”.
- Enter the new APN address: internet.yota. Save your data. And wait until the device detects the new network and updates the information.
Using your personal account
During connection at the point of sale or upon delivery of the SIM card to your home, you are given a login and password for your personal account. It has many functions - viewing your balance, changing your payment plan, controlling expenses, replenishing your account, linking a card for auto payment.
To enter your account, you must log in to the official website. Changing parameters is quite simple - you need to move the slider on a special script to set a different value. USB tethering users need to move the slider to a different value to increase or decrease the speed. For subscribers using Yota services via a smartphone, you can change the number of minutes and GB in the package. To enable the necessary options, for example, unlimited SMS or certain services, you need to activate them in a special form available in your personal account. After selecting the required package, if you are satisfied with the price, we agree and use the new set.
The official website has a “Support” section designed to solve problems that may arise. There is a list of frequently asked questions and their answers. You can create a ticket through the form that appears on the right if you need help. For example, consultation may be provided on changing the tariff plan. An alternative way to receive information is to send a letter to the contact email: [email protected]
Changing the tariff plan on the Yota website
If you want to reassemble the Yota tariff on your computer, you can use the operator’s corporate website. Like the application, it has many options for monitoring and managing services on the number. Here the setup is done like this:
- Open the operator’s website at yota.ru.
- Click on the “Personal Account” button, which is located in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Select the “Modem/Router” section from the drop-down menu.
- In the new window, enter your phone number or login, as well as your personal account password.
The setup is performed in the same way as when activating a new tariff plan. Drag the slider to the right or left until you get the desired result, and also check the boxes of any additional options you need.
The price tag will change in real time depending on the changes you make. To confirm your choice, click on the “Select tariff plan” button. Activation will happen soon. Important! Only owners of routers and modems can use this method. Previously, it was also relevant for mobile device users, but recently they were only offered to install a mobile application.
How to change the tariff on a modem from Yota without a personal account
Of course, changing the set of options through your Yota account is more convenient than using third-party methods, but there are also the following options:
- Go to the “Support” section on the website and write a request for a change in the application form. From this moment the process will begin, a specialist will contact you for further consultation.
- Write a letter to an email address The procedure is similar to the previous one, it’s just a different form of communication.
- Call 8-800-550-00-07. This is a support hotline. To get advice on changing the set of services, you need to call and start communicating with the operator.
- Go to the service center yourself.
How to set up a tariff on your phone
Setting up the Yota tariff can be done using the application or without it. In the second case, the list of available options is wider - a call center, USSD commands, office visits and others.
In the application
The easiest way to set up an Eta tariff is to do it through the mobile application. First, install a special program issued by the operator. You can download it from Google Play or Ep Store. After downloading, you can customize the Yota tariff for yourself. To do this, take the following steps:
- Launch the installed program and enter the registration data, namely phone number and password.
- Set the PIN code required to quickly log into the application.
- On the main page, go to Change terms.
- Set the required number of minutes and gigabytes.
- Use the sliders to activate additional services.
- Save your changes and exit the program.
This completes the setup of the Eta tariff for profitable calls. In this case, you will have to wait for some time until the old tariff plan expires. New ones start working on the day the payment is written off. And here it is important that the required amount is on the balance, because otherwise there will be no transfer.
Without application
The second way is to set up a Yota tariff without an application. Here, unlike the previous path, there are more options available. There are several ways to go through the process.
Using USSD
A convenient and easy way to set up a Yota tariff is to use USSD commands. To implement such plans, you do not need to download an additional application. It is enough to dial a special combination and set the plan of interest.
The main commands include:
- *106*A#, where A is the number of outgoing minutes in the Russian Federation;
- *602# — activation of a package with 100 free minutes for online communication;
- *603# - activation of unlimited SMS messages, but you need to take into account the cost of the option;
- *605# — connection of additional GB.
Knowing how to set up a tariff for Yota without an application, you can easily set the data of interest. But this method has one drawback - the commands will have to be remembered, but in extreme cases they can be entered into the phone book.
Via call center
If the considered method did not work and you were unable to set up the Yota tariff, use the hotline. To do this, take the following steps:
- Dial phone - 8-800-550-00-07. Wait for the operator to respond.
- Provide personal identification information.
- Tell us about your desire to change your tariff plan.
- Follow the instructions or get hints for further actions.
In the sales office
If you have a sales office nearby, you can contact Yota specialists and set up a tariff for your phone. Support workers check the passport to verify the subscriber’s identity, and then get to work. As an alternative, office staff can suggest options for solving the problem. Don't forget to bring the SIM card you need to set up.
Through the mailbox
Another method is to send a letter to the address It is necessary to state your preferences regarding further cooperation. The letter should talk about the plan that will be used in the future and its features. Specialists will dial the subscriber's phone number for consultation.
How to find out your Yota tariff
There are several ways to find out the current tariff plan:
- Through the official application. We have already talked about a program for smartphones designed to change TP and control expenses. There is information about the tariff plan and the remaining packages of minutes and traffic. You can download the official version from the AppStore or GooglePlay.
- Personal Area. The functionality is approximately the same, but is used through the browser. More suitable for subscribers who use an LTE modem or router, because this is the most convenient way to change the tariff plan and control expenses via a computer. This option is also suitable for owners of smartphones or tablets.
- Contact the hotline at 8-800-550-00-07 and ask a question.
- Send an SMS with a question to number 0999 . It is free for Iota subscribers.
Mobile application "Iota"
You can change the tariff plan to ETA for a tablet and phone using a mobile application or via a USSD command.
To change the tariff plan on your phone, use the USSD command. To do this, type on your smartphone or tablet:
- for subscribers who connected before 2021: *105*number_minutes#;
- for later subscribers: *106*number of_minutes#.
After that, make a call, and the new provisions will come into force after a short time.
In this program you can change and activate a new service package, change the number of free minutes and megabytes of Internet traffic, activate an unlimited message package and much more.
To change the tariff on a tablet or phone without using the application, you need to use the USSD command.
Change the number of minutes up or down, from a regular phone or tablet, enter the command from the keyboard
*105*N#
where N is the size of the package of minutes for unlimited tariffs (for clients who connected before 01/25/2017);
*106*N#
where N is the size of the package of minutes for tariffs with traffic packages.
A quick way to change the tariff is to use the Yota application for smartphones on the iOS or Android platform. The main page provides information about the current tariff plan with detailed conditions, and also indicates the next day of debiting.
After switching to another tariff, packages are charged automatically. The same applies to debiting funds from your balance, so it is important to monitor the status of your account and replenish it in a timely manner. If the required amount is not available, the subscriber cannot use the services until he replenishes the balance.
You can change your tariff for Yota quite simply and quickly using the mobile application, but if you don’t have it, you can open a section on the company’s website, select a new package and switch to it.
After changing the package, it will work automatically. The subscriber must ensure that he tops up his account without delay.
Payment always occurs at a clearly established time, automatically. If the required amount of funds is not available, the subscriber loses the opportunity to continue using the services until he pays the required amount again.

On a tablet

When an offer is changed, the paid period also changes. You can find out how to switch to a different tariff from a consultant on the company’s website.
It is useful to be interested in the operator’s news, and if he offers new tariffs, get acquainted with them immediately. If the conditions are right, you can take a few seconds to visit the site and take advantage of the new offer.
For Yota subscribers, changing the tariff on the tablet is not difficult. In general, the provider offers only one tariff plan; only the billing period for paying for services can be changed.
In particular, access to the network is carried out:
- Daily.
- Monthly.
- For a year.
Therefore, further steps are simple: download the mobile application and connect the optimal access and payment option.

Specialists will describe the algorithm to you in detail, after which you can do everything necessary yourself. ET provides a convenient remote maintenance service where you can change settings. Keep in mind that after connecting the TP, it will become active after 30 days - recalculation is made in a future period. When you connect to an unlimited Internet connection, it begins to be provided immediately.
To switch to a tariff with more traffic or minutes, go to your personal account. It will present a section. It details how much you spent in a month. On this sign there is a plus in the upper right corner, click on it. Through this menu you can add internet, minutes or SMS to your SIM card for free. To change your tariff plan, use one of three methods:
- Submit USSD request *106#. In the menu that opens, select a tariff for service.
- Visit one of Iota’s offices - specialists will conduct the shift themselves.
- Apply through the official website.
Please note that changing the tariff plan is a partially paid service. If you switch to a more expensive service, the funds will not be debited from your account. If you decide to save money and switch to cheaper service on your tablet, some of the money will disappear from your balance. Can't decide which tariff is right for you?
Frequently used tariff conditions no longer suit the subscriber. In this case, they switch to another plan or change its conditions. To make adjustments to Yota services, you can use various methods: through the application, personal account, USSD commands, technical support. If these options do not suit you, you can visit the company’s office.
An application on a mobile phone (or tablet) is the most convenient and informative way to change your tariff. It provides the opportunity to independently select and adjust the terms of communication. The program is being developed for Android and iOS.
When entering the application, the user receives information about what tariff he currently has and the conditions for when the next debit will occur.
The main page also has an active “Change Terms” button. When you click on it, a window appears in which all the necessary adjustments are made.
This method is simple and transparent - the user sees all the necessary information on the screen, which makes its perception more effective. However, you can only use it if Yota is intended for a phone or tablet.
In order to change the tariff on Yota without an application, you can use USSD commands. To do this, send *106*X# from your device, where X is the number of minutes per month. It is important to familiarize yourself with the terms of service and prices before sending such a command. An increase/decrease in the number of minutes leads to a corresponding change in the subscription fee.

In addition, to change the tariff conditions, use the following commands:
- *602# - to connect an additional 100 minutes;
- *603# - to connect to unlimited SMS messages, subscription fee 50 rubles;
- *605# - to connect additional Internet traffic of 5 GB.
This method of changing the tariff is suitable for phones and tablets.
Initially, it is necessary to determine the difference between the offers and the main competitors among the provision of cellular communication services. There are 2 main points here:
- The list of operator programs includes one main TP, but with the ability to change connection conditions. It is worth noting that there are other conditions, but they are not mentioned in advertising, and can only be fulfilled in official offices.
- Unlike other operators, the billing period implies not a month, but 30 days. This is a very correct move, because some months have 31 days, while in February, for example, 28. Thanks to this, overpayments can be avoided. They may be insignificant, but this is a more honest and transparent policy for providing services.
The tariff described earlier is intended only for smartphones, which means it is not suitable for tablet owners. Today, many people have tablet computers, and the Yota operator could not ignore subscribers who need unlimited Internet for tablets. The tablet tariff also implies fairly flexible settings.
You can define the period of Internet access (day, month or year). Unlimited Internet Iota for one day will cost 50 rubles, the monthly subscription fee for using the tariff will be 590 rubles, and for a year you will have to pay 4,500 rubles. By signing up for a yearly tariff you get significant savings.
Regardless of the billing period, the tablet tariff includes:
- Unlimited Internet without restrictions on speed and traffic at maximum speed (there are restrictions, see below);
- Single price for trips around the country;
- The cost of outgoing calls within Russia to all numbers is 3.9 rubles;
- The cost of outgoing SMS/MMS within Russia is 3.9 rubles.
This tariff plan is attractive only because of the presence of unlimited Internet; it is difficult to highlight other advantages. However, unlimited mobile Internet on this tariff is also not ideal and is not without its pitfalls. There are a number of restrictions that greatly spoil the impression of the tariff plan.
Tariff features:
- Unlimited Yota Internet is provided for use only on tablets. When using the SIM card in another device, the speed is limited to 64 Kbps.
- The tariff does not provide for the possibility of using file-sharing networks. Downloading/distributing files in torrents is subject to a speed limit of up to 32 kbps.
- When distributing the Internet via WI-FI or using the tablet as a modem, the speed is limited to 128 Kbps.
- In the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, Iota unlimited internet for tablets does not work. Also, in some hard-to-reach settlements, there is an Internet speed limit of up to 64 Kbps (the list of settlements is not announced by the operator).
How to change Yota tariff on your phone
To change the tariff plan on your smartphone, you need to carefully study and choose exactly what you need.
First you need to decide on the number of minutes of conversation. It is worth considering that calls within the network are free. The minimum package is 100 minutes; other operators cost 50 rubles. This is suitable for those who call only occasionally, and most of their relatives and friends use Iota. The largest package is 2000 minutes of conversation for 500 rubles. Mostly businessmen take it, people who often talk at work.
Next, we determine the number of GB. The minimum is 2 gigabytes, the price is 250 rubles. It is quite enough for viewing mail, surfing light sites that do not have animated banners, scripts, or videos. Maximum – 50 gigabytes, for freely visiting any, even modern sites with a professional design, watching movies, listening to music, downloading files. When this limit is reached, the speed will be reduced to 64 kilobits per second.
To avoid charging for certain social networks and instant messengers, you need to connect unlimited services to certain social networks. For example, Instagram costs 25 rubles. per month, and YouTube - 60. The choice of a set of unlimited services depends on personal needs.
Those who like to use SMS messages can activate the ability to send unlimited messages for 50 rubles.
All these settings are carried out using the methods described above through a mobile program, personal account, etc. We select a package and change the conditions on the phone.
Features of the Iota difference
First of all, you need to know how exactly Iota differs from its main competitors in the cellular services market.
There are two key points here:
- The operator’s range includes one basic tariff, but with variable changes in connection conditions. Let us add that there are other TPs too, but they are not advertised and you can switch to them only at service offices.
- The billing period implies 30 days, and not a month, like other operators. This is a fairly significant amendment, given that January has 31 days, February 28, and April – 30. Iota divides mandatory payments into equal periods, which allows you to avoid overpayments, albeit minor ones.
If the conditions of the current offer change, the specified parameters come into force only with the onset of the next billing period. This does not apply to modems, which provide fine adjustment of the connection speed.
Tariff features:
- The package is minimal - includes 300 minutes of outgoing communication and 5 GB of traffic for working on the Internet. The cost of the tariff is 400 rubles per month.
- Yota tariff plan, which includes 500 minutes for outgoing calls and 10 GB for network use. The cost of the tariff is 600 rubles per month.
- Package 1500 minutes, 15 GB of network traffic. The cost is 900 rubles per month.
- Yota package for increased communication – 2000 minutes for all outgoing calls within Russia, 20 GB of network traffic. Subscription fee is 1300 rubles per month.
- The largest package in the line of offers from the Yota company is 5000 minutes for outgoing calls throughout Russia, 50 GB of Internet traffic. Cost – 5000 rubles per month.

How to change Yota tariff on a tablet.
The conditions here are a little different. Basically, people who use a tablet computer are interested in the number of gigabytes rather than in minutes of conversation. However, on this tariff plan you can connect 500 minutes for 250 rubles.
The minimum cost of the package is 410 rubles. per month, this includes 7 gigabytes. Maximum – 600 rub. for 30 gigabytes. As you can see, in this option the Internet is more expensive, but unlimited social networks are slightly cheaper - the same Instagram costs 20 rubles instead of 25. Unlimited music in popular services will cost 30 rubles. instead of 40.
The strategy is the same as for a smartphone - we select the optimal set through the application or personal account in order to switch to a new tariff.
How to set up Yota tariff
One of the advantages of telecommunications is a wide selection of tariff conditions. Each subscriber can easily select the service package that best suits his needs. But what if the choice turns out to be wrong? Switch to new terms of service. To do this, just change the old tariff on Yota to a new one. This is a very simple procedure. You can go through it in several ways. But before making any changes, the operator recommends assessing your capabilities, costs, and needs. Only then choose from the list of offers the tariff plan that fully satisfies your needs.
Changing the TP on the modem
There is also no variety of tariff plans available for connection. There is one tariff and provides the following types of network access:
- Short-term: for 2 hours and a day.
- Long-term: month and year.
Short-term sessions run at the highest possible speed by default, long-term ones are regulated independently, available interval: 64 kbps to 15 Mbps. It works simply. If a subscriber increases the speed after connecting, the number of days in the billing period is proportionally reduced, and vice versa. Let us add that the minimum speed is always maintained, even if a person has forgotten to pay for the services.
To change the terms of service, you can use your “Personal Account”. Registration here is offered to each subscriber when connecting the modem to the network for the first time.
In particular, after activating the SIM card and connecting the modem to the USB connector, you need to enter any query in the search browser. The system automatically redirects the user to the official page https://www.yota.ru/, where an account is created.
