The relatively young Russian operator Yota offers its clients non-standard tariff conditions for individuals and legal entities. Their characteristics vary depending on the equipment that needs to be used: tablets, phones, USB modems or routers for a computer. As for the network coverage area in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, it is identical to Megafon’s coverage carriages, because Yota operates on the basis of Megafon towers.
On the territory of the Northern capital of Russia, all types of mobile frequencies 2G, 3G, 4G work excellently; the signal is also well received in suburban areas, for example, Krasnoe Selo, Kolpino. What tariffs has Yota prepared for St. Petersburg and the region? Conventionally, all Yota SPB tariffs can be divided into 3 types:
- For smart and push-button phones;
- For tablet PCs based on Android and iOS;
- For computers (modems and Wi-Fi routers).
For each type of device, it is necessary to purchase an individual SIM card, as well as select a suitable tariff plan. To find out the tariffs available in your coverage area, you can call customer support for free at 8-800-550-00-07. You can change your tariff plan in your Yota account on the website www.yota.ru.
About company
Yota is a relatively young company. It began offering mobile communication services relatively recently. Additionally, the company provides Internet access for tablets and computers.
It is important that a separate SIM card is used for each service. This option excludes backward compatibility. If you put a card from a tablet into a phone, it will not work fully.
But why should Iota be preferred?
- Simple conditions are offered.
- There are no imposed services.
- It is possible to choose the filling.
- Save money.
- The company uses Megafon networks, the communication quality is good.
- The company is represented not only in St. Petersburg, but also in many other regions.
- You can adapt the plan to suit you.
- Prices are not inflated.
- The coverage area is large.
Regions where there is no 4G Yota coverage
A person wants to be free from wires that tie him to landline operators. Many people are waiting for high-speed technology to come to their area. In conditions of fierce competition, all major providers are rushing to cover as many territories as possible.
Although the network operator Yota is a recent participant in this race, it can already be considered one of the leaders of the domestic telecommunications market. The territory of Russia is huge. It requires a lot of effort and investment from everyone who wants to be the first in expanding the 4G network coverage area across the vast country.
Poor development of the new communication standard from Yota is still observed in the Far Eastern part of the Russian Federation. There are objective difficulties with expanding reliable reception zones in the Far North and most of the Siberian region. In the south and center of the country there are also places where there is poor coverage, especially in small towns and urban villages.
When will Eta appear in my region?
Knowing about the ambitious plans of the young telecom operator, we can say that if it is not currently represented in a certain region, this situation will soon change. The company's management has repeatedly announced its plans to fully cover the country's territory with 3G and 4G standards. The time is already approaching when Yota LTE reception areas will not differ in size and will blend in color on the map of Russia not only with the 3G, but also with the 2G standard. This will be achieved by increasing the number and power of transmitting towers and expanding the radio frequency range.

Yota operator pitfalls
Surprisingly, this operator has practically no hidden conditions, and there are no imposed services at all. However, when connecting to this provider, you need to remember a number of unpleasant points.
- No opportunities at zero. Yota does not lend money and does not allow calls at the expense of the interlocutor. The only option available at zero: sending SMS notifications with a request to call back.
- Crimea. Despite the fact that the peninsula is part of Russian territory, different call tariff rules apply here. This fact must be taken into account.
- Travel restrictions within the country. The absence of national roaming is valid only for 30 days. If a subscriber is absent from his home region for more than a month, he is automatically transferred to another tariff plan.
- Internet distribution. You cannot share traffic via Wi-Fi in Iota. At the same time, the provider does not establish a categorical ban; it simply cuts traffic to the minimum values.
Note that Yota also has positive features that other Russian operators do not have. For example, if a subscriber does not have money in his account, the provider maintains access to the network for him, albeit at a minimum speed.
Tariff plans for computer
Laptops and computers also need Internet access. Especially for customers who use a modem, the company has created several Eta tariffs in St. Petersburg:
- Access for a year.
- Subscription for 30 days.
- Temporary connection to the network.
The most profitable option is an annual subscription. When purchasing a large package you can get a significant discount. The cost is:
- Without restrictions - 9000 rub.
- 5 Mbit/s – 5400 rub.
- 10 Mbit/s – 6900 rub.
You can activate the Internet for a month. At a speed of 64 Kbps, the subscriber does not need to pay at all. As the parameter increases, the cost changes. If restrictions are completely lifted, it will be 1,400 rubles.
The latter scheme is suitable in the following cases:
- You only occasionally use the Internet on your PC.
- You don't need internet access all the time.
- Use a modem as an alternative in case of failures with the main provider.
At the moment, there are two options - for 2 and 24 hours for 50 and 150 rubles. Network access is provided at maximum speed.
Why clients choose Internet from Iota:
- The company does not count traffic. Unlimited is provided, the limit is set only on speed.
- You can choose the parameters and cost.
- When the account runs out of funds, access is not disabled.
- You can use the Internet for free, but at low speed - 64 Kbps.
