When purchasing a new SIM card, consumers often choose the future number with the most memorable number series, while others do not think about their phone number at all. Basically, it takes time to remember your new number. Quite common situations are when you are asked for your phone number or you urgently need to top up your Yota personal account balance to pay for mobile communications or the Internet, and one of the most frequently asked questions from new subscribers is: how to find out the Yota modem number for payment? Therefore, if you don’t remember it at all, we will tell you several options on how you can find out your phone number/ETA account number.
What is a Yota SIM card
Unlike most mobile operators, Yota SIM cards are issued for a specific device. They are not sold secondhand or in small non-specialized stores, but are activated only by manual configuration. On the one hand, such a procedure complicates the process of preparing and launching the device for operation, but this guarantees the client’s legal registration using a passport and his conscientiousness regarding the agreement with the operator (specifically, this refers to the distribution of Wi-Fi without a modem, since separate prices are provided for this such traffic usage).
Yota for tablet
The Big Three offer a huge number of Internet offers for tablets, but all of them have suffered from standard problems for many years: strict traffic limits and speed limits after exceeding it, roaming within the country. There are unlimited packages, but they are often nightly or on a critically weak channel width, which does not allow full use of video resources or online games.
The Yota company has presented the only tariff that provides full-fledged Internet without roaming throughout Russia (this does not yet apply to Crimea). It is worth remembering that the Yota SIM card is only suitable for a tablet: in modems and smartphones, the speed will drop to an uncomfortable 64 kbps, you cannot distribute traffic and use torrents. All other capabilities of the modern network are fully presented.
Iota for phone
The Yota SIM card for smartphones has one significant limitation - it will not fully work on other devices. This is done so that cunning clients do not give away Wi-Fi or use a mobile tariff plan from a phone on a tablet or modem (the Internet is paid according to different tariffs, and for mobile phones it is the lowest in the line of offers).
Otherwise, as in all operator packages, there are no restrictions: completely unlimited calls within the network in Russia, high speed, availability of albeit slow but working Internet even after the end of the paid period or a negative balance (64 kbit/sec). The Yota SIM card is activated in about a minute using a mobile application from the operator (this is how Yota guarantees fair use of its services by a specific client).
Yota SIM card for modems
Separately, it is worth mentioning one unpleasant feature of modem service: the quality of their equipment is lower than that of Megafon, which works on the same base stations. The company is interested in purchasing SIM cards for modems complete with its equipment, so Yota SIM cards are tied to IMEI and do not work correctly on the equipment of other operators. There are a lot of tips on how to bypass this blocking on the Internet, so this should not be a problem, because Iota is clearly the leader in terms of the quality of the Internet provided.
Nuances
A tablet is a convenient device for accessing the network and performing various tasks. With its help you can:
- Browse pages.
- Download the necessary files.
- Watch videos and films.
- Play.
- The equipment is suitable for work and study.
But when do you need to choose special Yota tariffs for a tablet? A number of devices are equipped with card slots and communication modules. Due to this, you can access the Internet even outdoors, far from regular networks.
Reasons to take advantage of offers from the operator:
- You are often away from home.
- Use your tablet for communication or as a work tool.
- You need constant and stable access to the World Wide Web.
- Do you want to get the best prices and not overpay for services?
How much does an Iota SIM card cost?
A significant advantage that the cellular network offers is that the money is credited to your account immediately. This means that after purchasing a Yota SIM card, the client does not need to transfer additional money to use the services. How much does SIM card Yota cost: all types are sold at the same price - 300 rubles, which are immediately returned to the owner to pay for calls, SMS or the Internet. In addition, you can order delivery of a SIM card to your home or office.
Tariff plans
Unfortunately, the company had to give up unlimited mobile Internet in 2021. This is due to the fact that during the entire period of validity of unlimited packages, the average amount of traffic used was around 5 GB. Such a low figure made it possible to switch from unlimited in favor of reducing the subscription fee. Unlimited tariffs remained only for customers who did not switch to new offers. However, there remains unlimited access for instant messengers and social networks in a separate package at a price of 100 rubles per month.
Yota tariffication for smartphones
The company's offers for mobile phones differ in the number of available minutes to numbers of other operators, the volume of Internet traffic per month and payment. The range of prices will help you choose a tariff that will fully meet the client’s needs and not break the budget. Some offers may vary depending on the region of the country. The client can find out more about the tariffs for his subject in the card sales salon or on the Yota website. What, for example, Yota provides for Moscow:
- 300, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 free minutes for calls with other operators;
- high-speed Internet anywhere in the country;
- free calls to Yota numbers during the paid month;
- cost of the service – 440, 640, 940, 1340, 1840 rubles per month.
Yota tariffs for tablet
Due to the shutdown of the unlimited Internet service, the method of paying for Internet access for tablets has changed. The client himself determines the speed of use using the Yota application or regulates it in an unlimited tariff. Packages offer 512 kbps, 2 Mbps and unlimited. The main thing is to make sure that the region where the tablet will be used supports a specific mobile communication standard (2G, 3G, 4G). On the first day after card activation, services are provided without speed restrictions.
Cost of Internet using a SIM card for a modem
Iota has left the Internet via modem unlimited for the entire territory of Russia. It is more expensive than mobile, but often this solution is chosen by those clients who need a large amount of traffic. At the same time, the 64 Kbit package is completely free, and then the payment increases depending on the network speed. The most expensive tariff is 1000 rubles/month, it offers the maximum possible traffic. The nuance is that if the local network does not support a speed of 6.5 Mbit (cost – 800 rubles/month), then there is no point in paying for the top offer (a branded modem or router must be purchased separately).
Tariff "Year"
“ Year ” is also a popular solution. The Internet tariff Eta for a tablet with a long-term subscription is necessary in a number of cases:
- You will constantly use the services of the operator.
- Do you want to save money? There is a discount when purchasing an annual subscription.
- We have already assessed the quality of services and are satisfied.
For an annual subscription you will have to pay 3000-4500 rubles. But if you do the calculations, this option will actually turn out to be profitable.
How to order a Yota SIM card
Yota SIM cards are not sold like numbers of other operators: they can be purchased through the company’s corporate offices, or ordered through the service on the website or partner salons “Svyaznoy” and “Euroset”. In this way, maximum customer transparency and personal user focus are achieved. In addition, the use of cards for their intended purpose is controlled.
Online on the official website
There is a special delivery service on the company's website. In it you need to indicate the region, the recipient's address, wait for the courier and receive a SIM card. It must be remembered that delivery may not be carried out to remote cities, so ordering through this service is more suitable for residents of large cities. To use Yota in remote regions, you will have to go and get a SIM card yourself.

In the mobile application
A special application from Yota for all existing operating systems will allow you to control expenses, top up your account, keep detailed statistics on the use of the tariff, and adjust the settings of the package application. Separately, we need to mention the possibility of ordering a new SIM card, even while keeping the old number. Everything can work at minimum Internet speed on almost any generation of smartphones.
Where to buy a Yota SIM card
As mentioned above, you can directly buy a Yota SIM card only at official dealerships or Svyaznoy, which are direct partners of the company. Purchasing second-hand or not through an affiliated store runs the risk that the client will receive a fake or stolen SIM card. In any of the cases, no one can guarantee job stability, and besides, problems may arise with the police and the former owner of the number.
Customer service offices
The easiest way is to buy a SIM card at the official center of the company. A complete coverage map in the Russian Federation is available on the official website. You can use it to find the nearest office or customer service center. The convenience lies in the fact that additional devices from Yota (modems, routers) are presented in parallel, which may not be available at points of sale. They will also help you with activating the card and choosing the right tariff.
Mobile operator partners
Like the official Yota communication stores, Euroset and Svyaznoy stores are represented throughout the country, where you can buy a Yota SIM card without any obstacles. Their representative offices are much larger than the operator’s service points, which covers the largest possible area of potential clients. These companies are the only licensed representatives who can provide services for the sale and activation of Yota SIM cards and configure devices.
Alternative options
If you are not one of those who want to spend time on settings, then a Wi-Fi modem from Yota is suitable for you. The main feature of which: the accessory is used as a portable wireless point. It's simple:

How to activate Yota SIM card on your phone
Before you start using the services, the SIM card will need to be activated.

In the window that opens, the client will see the phone number, select a tariff plan and the features of his service settings. The activation of the SIM card will be completed and you will be able to use it. Occasionally, due to program compatibility failures or gadget features, the connection does not occur.
The company provides manual activation of the SIM card; you will need to configure an access point. This is necessary so that the client independently decides on the tariff, customizes it to suit his requirements and knows exactly what he is paying. This is precisely what distinguishes Yota from most competitors on the market. The activation process itself is simply simple and takes no longer than 1-2 minutes. Depending on the OS on your smartphone, the procedure may differ slightly. How to activate a Yota SIM card:

It is not for nothing that the article indicated the approximate range of costs. Many operators are adjusting their plans for cities. When setting the price, the following parameters are taken into account:
- Average income of the population.

How to activate a Yota SIM card for a modem
Activating a modem or router is easier because no third-party programs are required. The device (LTE modem) needs to be inserted into the USB port of the computer (the Yota SIM card is already inside). The automatic download of drivers will begin, which may take some time, it depends on the strength of the network signal.
