Features of unlimited Internet from the Yota operator

Operator Yota (Yota) can hardly be called among the popular mobile operators. However, the number of its users is steadily growing, and not least because Yota offers increasingly innovative tariffs and service packages, a worthy alternative to which cannot be found from other operators. Last year's Yota innovation - a tariff package that included only those services that the subscriber needs [link to previous text] - aroused great interest among users. Now Yota offers unlimited Internet - the first among Russian mobile operators.

Reviews about mobile Internet Iota

Reviews about how home or mobile Internet from Yota works are different. Some people don't like the speed limit on smartphones. But, in general, subscribers rate the quality of this provider’s services positively. It really does provide high speed internet at reasonable rates.

“Advantages: the number of minutes spent is recorded and the geographic location is not determined. The disadvantages include the quality of the Internet connection. I hope that the provider will eliminate technical shortcomings and improve the notorious unlimited,” Anna, Moscow.

“I would like to include truly unlimited communication as an advantage. I was a Megafon subscriber, and after advertising a new provider, I quickly changed the operator. During the transition I was able to keep my number, which is very convenient. Also, there are truly no restrictions on the speed and volume of downloaded content. The disadvantages include technical miscalculations that create constant conversation interruptions during calls and online communication. This may be due to the coverage area in the Khabarovsk Territory. I’m waiting for the work to improve,” Maxim, Khabarovsk.

“I have no complaints about the Internet connection. Very favorable tariffs and communication without expensive roaming. I use a SIM card for a smartphone and am faced with difficulties in paying through the terminal - I cannot deposit money into my number. Still problems with dialing. My husband bought me a SIM card after advertising a new provider. Quickly delivered to your home and tested. Everything is ok with the Internet, but mobile communications with other operators are very bad. I hope the situation will improve,” Tatyana, Moscow.

How to disable

It is impossible to completely disable the Internet in Yota. Upon termination of the tariff plan or independent switching, the minimum speed of Internet use is no more than 64 Kbps. You can view the remaining GB using the USSD command *101#.
