Do you often need to top up your account, but are you trying to save money? Previously, there was a tariff Just for communication Megafon, which offered interesting conditions to its clients. If a subscriber regularly tops up the balance by a certain amount, the cost of services is reduced. In 2008-2009, this was one of the rather profitable tariff plans that many Russians used.
Operator Features Simply
Simply, this is another virtual operator that has appeared in Russia. It operates on the basis of existing networks from Tele2. In this sense, it is simply similar to Tinkoff Mobile and other remote providers.
Unlike physical operators, Simply does not have its own communication shops. But in modern reality, offices are not needed. Subscribers are accustomed to managing services remotely, and courier services can be used to deliver SIM cards.
The name of the new operator fully justifies itself. The company's goal is to make communication services not only affordable in terms of price, but also easy to learn, so that even a new client can immediately start managing a SIM card without additional consultation.
More detailed information about what the Simply operator is can be obtained by calling the support service number +7-969-990-0505. The call is paid.
Is it worth connecting?
The offer from “*simply” really looks tempting - very cheap calls, no hidden options or paid subscriptions. However, we should not forget that virtual mobile operators tend to close as suddenly as they appeared. Quite recently there was a big story with Danycom, a company that offered free communications for viewing advertising SMS messages.
Danycom numbers stopped working literally overnight, leaving people without communication and tied to mobile bank numbers. If you really want to try "*simple", then use their number exclusively as a secondary number, not your primary one. So that its possible shutdown would not be painful.

Coverage map
The company is just beginning its journey in the communication services market, so it is not surprising that the operator is represented in a limited number of regions. You can make calls on the Simply network in 67 regions of Russia, except for the following republics and regions:
- Altai;
- Astrakhan region;
- Bashkiria;
- Dagestan;
- Transbaikal region;

Unfortunately, you can’t order a SIM card from a new company in every one of the 67 supported regions. Moreover, connections to the services of the operator Simply can only be made in Moscow and the Moscow region. But in the near future the company plans to expand its map.

Working age adult family members are often faced with the dilemma of choosing between multiple mobile service packages for their parents and children. Meanwhile, Megafon is one of those companies that develop affordable tariff plans “tailored to the client” and can offer service packages for children, students and pensioners. Please note the following service options.
Packages for pensioners:

- It's simple - this plan offers a single price for calls to all phones in the Home region, as well as the ability to connect service options for SMS communication and Internet access.
The mentioned plans can be purchased by students; we advise you to immediately connect the SMS XXS function for SMS communication and Internet XS network access. At the same time, we recommend two more interesting and inexpensive plans for children with a subscription fee:
- All inclusive S+ - the package costs only 400 rubles per month with a network access tariff of 5 GB, 250 minutes, 100 SMS;
- All inclusive M+ - a package worth 600 rubles per month with a tariff Internet access of 10 GB, 500 minutes and 300 SMS.

Tariffs Simple
The operator justifies its name not only by the ease of service, but also by the simplest tariff plans. Currently, only 1 tariff is available in the company’s line, called “First”. It is absolutely free, that is, it does not imply regular subscription fees.
In this case, the user must pay additionally for all services according to current prices:
- calls within Russia – 0.75 r/min;
- sending SMS within the country – 75 kopecks;
- the cost of Internet traffic per 1 MB is 10 kopecks;
- outgoing calls to CIS countries – 45 r/min;
- calls to Europe – 65 r/min;
- outgoing to other countries – 165 r/min;
- International sending of SMS – 5.5 rubles.
It should also be noted that in conditions of national roaming (in regions where Simply is not supported), special prices apply, which differ for the worse:
- calls – 5 r/min;
- SMS – 3.5 rubles;
- 1 MB of traffic – 5 rubles.
As a result, the future client needs to carefully monitor the region in which he uses the services of a mobile company, otherwise the costs may be prohibitive.
How to disable
Since it is not possible to completely disable the “Everything is simple” tariff, you must first decide and select a new, suitable tariff, and then switch to it. You can switch to a new plan using any method similar to that described above. After the transition and activation of the new tariff, the old one will be automatically disabled.
Some clients do not use the Internet on their mobile phone. Most often this is typical for older people. Especially for such clients, Megafon has launched tariffs without the Internet, which allow them not to overpay for unnecessary services.
Pros and cons of the operator
It’s just that this is not only a new company, but also far from an ideal company. Of course, it has advantages and disadvantages that are important to know before connecting to the operator’s services.
Advantages and disadvantages
No subscription fee
Low prices for communication services
No automatically connected subscriptions
Doesn't work everywhere
Only 1 tariff in the line for a narrow audience
You cannot connect an additional option to activate the service package
Thus, the operator’s offer is simply suitable only for those people who rarely use the Internet and want to stay in touch by making outgoing calls from time to time.
Personal opinion
I would highlight the following pros and cons of the operator *prosto and the “First” tariff...
Pros:
- Tariff without monthly fee with adequate prices.
- Lack of paid services and the ability to connect mobile subscriptions.
Minuses:
- Tele2 + Moscow and region = only 3G/4G. The operator *simply warns about this at every opportunity, but nevertheless... The tariff is great for push-button phones, including older models, but the Tele2 network in Moscow and the region is not designed for this.
- A decent number of regions where there is no network *simple and national roaming with much more respectable prices for calls, messages and mobile Internet.
1.5 months have already passed since the launch, and you can only connect in Moscow and the region. Let's see how quickly the operator starts selling SIM cards in other regions. The disadvantages could include only one tariff, but conceptually everything is exactly how it should be. Perhaps they will add something in the future.
Personally, I ordered a SIM card *just with the “First” tariff. With these prices it won't hurt.
Connection methods
You can apply for a SIM card from a new operator on the official website located at prostomobile.ru. Next you will need to do the following:
- Click on the “Connection” tab.
- Select your region.
- Fill out the form with personal data.
- Set the date and time for delivery of the SIM card to the courier service.
Purchasing a company SIM card is absolutely free. The same goes for delivery. So the client just needs to top up the account with the amount and monitor the balance so that it does not drop to zero.
