Tariff “Smartphone Standard” Vodafone Ukraine for Lugansk: detailed conditions

On the eve of the New Year 2021, residents of territories not controlled by Kiev in the center with Lugansk and Donetsk were notified by SMS that during the period from 01/09/2018 to 02/15/2018, all subscribers in the ATO zone will be automatically transferred to the “Smartphone Standard” tariff. And from the moment of the transition, it will become the only one that will soon be available to subscribers of the Vodafone operator on land uncontrolled by the Ukrainian authorities.

Unlike the previous tariffs open to residents of Lugansk, under the terms of which a moderate monthly fee was charged or was available, the new package does not differ in such flexibility.

What does Vodafone offer in the Device line?

Vodafone offered new tariffs back in May last year, but this line is not yet as familiar to the operator’s average client as the sensational Red tariffs. Two months later, Vodafone has already introduced a revolutionary unlimited tariff to the market, however, for it, as mentioned above, the Vodafone “Year without Monthly Fees” service discussed in the article is not provided, so it is worth considering what the Device tariff offers. By the way, it includes three service packages – S, M, L.

Perhaps, just looking at the name of the new tariff schedule (“device” translated from English means “device, gadget”) it becomes clear that the tariff is primarily aimed at users with modern smartphones and tablets who require a lot of mobile traffic. Thus, we can conclude that the tariff schedule is designed for active use of the mobile Internet. But tariff S, for example, at the same time offers a wide package of services that will help satisfy many of the subscriber’s communication needs, but this is achieved by significantly reducing the package of services (the user has only 50 MB per day, which can be used at maximum speed) .

How to connect?

Previously, it was possible to send SMS. But this only works if you received such a message. What about now?
At the moment, the most correct way to connect is to sequence several actions. If you rarely use the Vodafone number, then you can immediately go to point 3. First , you must make sure that over the last couple of months (sometimes more) less than half of the services offered have been used from the connected number. What does it mean? For example, you are currently connected to the Femeli+ tariff, which provides 60 minutes to other operators and 1 gigabyte of Internet for 80 UAH. That is, traffic consumption should not exceed 500 megabytes per month, and the number of minutes spent should not exceed 30.

Secondly , in such a hunger for information, you need to keep the package for two to three months so that the Vodafone company evaluates you as a subscriber who does not need this number.

Third , after the above conditions, you should write to the Vodafone operator in the chat. Which can be found on the company’s official website, or in the attachment my vodafone . And put the question this way: I don’t want to use the services of your company at such prices, I have a burning desire to switch to Kyivstar using the MNP service. Often, after such words, you will be offered to connect to a cheaper tariff or will be offered a discount from the company for a limited period.

Service cost

To understand all the advantages and benefits of connecting to the service, just look at the cost, which differs depending on the tariff plan:

1. Device S – 365 UAH. with savings of 175 UAH.
2. Device M – 800 UAH, saving 160 UAH.
3. Device L – 1300 UAH, saving 260 UAH.
4. SuperNet Start – 990 UAH, savings per year 180 UAH.
5. SuperNet Pro – 1375 UAH, saving 125 UAH.
6. SuperNet Unlim – 2035 UAH, saving 185 UAH.
7. Light – 450 UAH. with savings of up to 450 UAH.
8. Light+ – 770 UAH, with a saving of 70 UAH.

As you can see, paying for a year in advance turns out to be more profitable than replenishing every month.
