Subscriber reviews
“I chose “Basic” for my daughter (6 years old).
A convenient option for communicating with a child and accurately determining the location of a smartphone using a special application. Taking into account the limited number of calls in one region, monthly costs do not exceed 300 rubles. Later I will set a new tariff to optimize the use of the Internet.” Svetlana, 32 years old, Mozhaisk:
“I connected my grandmother to this plan to eliminate unnecessary costs and simplify the use of a mobile gadget by an elderly person. The Internet is not needed in this case, so I think the choice is the best. After 3 months of operation, I was convinced that I made the right decision.”
Sergey, 28 years old, Smolensk:
“Based on the results of using a smartphone over the past few years, I have become convinced that I do not need mobile Internet. I use home Wi-Fi to connect to the network. In such conditions, the best option for me is the “Basic” tariff. Minimum costs while fully working with calls and SMS messages.”
