Video on the topic:

The tariff applies when roaming in Russia and abroad

The new region to which the subscriber arrives automatically becomes his home region, so the conditions for traveling around Russia remain unchanged. This allows you to work comfortably with available packages of minutes, messages and traffic without additional payments.

The Crimean Peninsula occupies a special place in the Beeline roaming system, since operator services are not provided on its territory. Despite this, tariffs in the region compare favorably with roaming abroad: subscribers have access to preferential conditions for roaming in Crimea.

Using the “For Smart Things” tariff when traveling outside Russia does not differ from the operator’s basic offers within national roaming. You can get detailed information about the cost of communication services in the “Roaming abroad” section.

For users traveling abroad, the “Unlimited Internet in roaming” option is available by default. It is activated and paid only on days when the subscriber connects to the Internet abroad. To avoid significant expenses when traveling, it is recommended to disable the option using the USSD command *110*20170#.

How to use

The proposal is primarily aimed at remote control of electronics via the Internet. The contract will be an ideal solution for owners of advanced household and utility equipment, with the ability to install a SIM card. Thus, you can set the required temperature in advance in the room of your apartment, country house or dacha, start washing or cooking dinner just by sending an SMS.

Using the application, the tariff will allow you to receive a clear picture from CCTV cameras online. At any time, the user can request readings from all meters connected to the tariff. For car owners it will help track the location of vehicles.

The main thing is that the contract will help you save on communications, since it is fully optimized for the task of communicating with “smart” devices, nothing superfluous. Valid throughout the Russian Federation with the exception of the Far Eastern region.

Attention! Further, all conditions and prices will be described for Moscow and the Moscow region.

How to choose a tariff?

Not all plans are created equal for smartwatches. If you have a SIM card freed up from another gadget, this does not mean that it (even if you change the tariff) will suit you. Some good tariffs are valid only with a newly purchased SIM card (you cannot install it on an old one).

Moreover, most children's watches only work on 2G networks. So check the 2G coverage in your locality on the operator's website. Perhaps the child often visits his grandmother in the summer - make sure that there is stable coverage in the territory of her city or village. If you often visit another region, check the network availability there too.

For example, in Moscow and the Moscow region, operators such as YOTA and Tele2 do not operate in 2G networks. It should be noted that more than 15 virtual operators operate on the Tele2 network.

Among them are projects of Rostelecom, Sberbank, Tinkoff Bank, TransTelecom, MTT, Virgin Connect, Vtel, SPRINT, Center2M, MSNA. This means that their 2G coverage also does not extend to the capital. Internet traffic consumption per month for watches (depending on the capabilities of the model and user activity) averages 30 - 100 MB. Considering that most smartphone plans include 1GB or more of data, the amount needed for a watch seems negligible. Therefore, parents of young owners of wrist gadgets can pay attention to tariffs without a subscription fee. But the cost of a megabyte can vary significantly between different operators - from 1.8 rubles (for Tele2) to 11 rubles (Beeline’s “Second” tariff).

There are special rates for smart devices. They are affordable, but the number of MB in the package may be less than 100.

Devices included

Smart home includes many other interesting devices:

1. ZigBee controller – works using wireless technology with a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz. This technology has many advantages, including low electrical energy consumption of connected sensors and the presence of a special mesh network. The designers of this kit have created the option of transmitting a signal from one device to another. An application for smartphones has also been developed, which makes it possible to add additional sensors to the central device and further configure their operation. Using ZigBee allows you to solve the problem of conflicts between devices running on Wi-Fi. Support for SIM cards provides them with energy independence. In the case of Wi-FI, an attacker only needs to turn off the power, and a simple router will not work. The built-in battery lasts about 4 hours. The work uses a standard protocol, so other manufacturers can configure their sensors for this system.
2. The Wi FI router supports two operating bands. This device will be useful for you if there is no equipment from the operator. When using a router, you can connect to the center of the Smart Home system wirelessly without using wires. In this system, only the camera works via Wi-Fi. Other sensors operate via ZigBee and are not dependent on Wi-Fi.
3. The 4G modem is an additional development for when the WAN port does not work or there is no router. When outside the city, the device can be used as a modem, distributing mobile traffic wirelessly.
4. Alarm clock – large numbers are constantly visible on the dial. Their size allows you to clearly see the time. The built-in alarm clock is an added bonus.
5. The built-in IP camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, after connecting the special “Away from Home” function, it acts on various movements and constantly records all events. Using your Personal Account, you can view videos in the archive. In the basic tariff, recording is carried out on a memory card. It is possible to use cloud storage for a fee.
6. Weather station. By touching the touch display, you can see the weather forecast. At this time, the clock numbers disappear. If you use additional sensors to determine air quality, the display will show the room temperature.
7. Automation is created at a high level. All gadgets are automated. This significantly increases the comfort and peace of mind for your apartment. A clear and convenient interface makes it possible to set special scenarios and integrate them into the overall system using special programs.

Tariff advantages

For those who intend to use it for its intended purpose (in a smart watch, fitness bracelet or smart home system, etc.) they are undeniable.

1. Cheap and exactly what you need. For example, a refrigerator connected to the Internet simply does not need a lot of traffic. Speed, even snail-like (65 Kb/s) is enough for data exchange with a smartphone or PC. Most electronic devices are not yet capable of making outgoing voice calls.
2. “SMS” and “MMS” will not cost anything in roaming. For smartwatches, the advantage is very useful.
3. Rounding up the Internet limit, even if a little more bytes are spent. The value seems small, but do not forget that we are talking about exchanging information between devices, and not about downloading videos, etc. Once the package is exhausted, the Internet will still work, albeit at a reduced speed. The main thing is that there is the required amount in the account.

Minuses

The tariff plan is not suitable for anything other than intended use. Even without downloading heavy files, simply surfing the Internet using the tariff will not work. Your traffic limit will run out quickly. The limit on the maximum number of SMS and minutes of calls is not very large, only for the most necessary things.

Let's do without a smartphone

The standard mode of operation of modern smartwatches (except for children’s watches – this is a separate “song”) is in tandem with a smartphone. But there are gadgets that provide users with maximum independence. And the best of these, according to many, is the LG Watch Sport. With this device on your hand, you certainly won't have to worry about missed calls and messages.

The name LG Watch Sport makes it clear that the smartwatch is equipped with everything necessary for sports and fitness; we won’t even dwell on this in detail. In addition, the stainless steel case hides:

• GPS;
• mobile communication with LTE support (SIM slot) included;
• NFC for wireless payment.

3 buttons make operation easier, one of which is also a wheel for scrolling lists and zooming. The touch screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 2.0, which, together with the housing, provides IP68 water resistance.

Unfortunately, the watch is not without its drawbacks, the main one being a weak battery. With even slightly active use of the gadget, it is physically impossible to last more than one day (not even a day!) without recharging. A typical city dweller doesn’t need this, but lovers of outdoor adventures are better off looking for another smartwatch.

Difference from other tariffs

Mobile operator Beeline has developed many offers for new and existing customers. To evaluate the advantages of some plans, let’s compare the TP in question with “Per-Second”.

Advantages of TP "Signal":

• Control of necessary devices;
• Megabyte payment;
• SMS messages are cheaper than the Per Second plan;
• Low cost MMS.

Flaws:

Expensive calls to phones of all operators;

Now let’s determine the strengths of the “Per Second” tariff:

• Calls are not rounded up to minutes;
• Favorable prices for outgoing calls.

Flaws:

• Internet traffic costs are higher;
• MMS is more expensive.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the plan under consideration are:

• Internet package sufficient for using smart devices.
• Traffic is rounded up to 1Kb; many mobile network operators cannot boast of this.
• When paying for the service for a year, you will receive a discount of 35 percent, which is why the total payment amount will be only 790 rubles, and not 1200.

Among the shortcomings, users highlighted one nuance - the remaining minutes and online cannot be transferred to the next period. Also, the proposal does not support the option to share existing megabytes with other users.

Tariff cost

The cost of the tariff consists of a subscription fee and services for making calls, sending SMS and using the Internet. The following payment has been approved:

• Subscriber service fee – 1 rub/day for Moscow and Moscow Region, 3 rub/day for other regions where the offer is valid;
• The cost of local communication is: incoming calls 0 rubles, outgoing calls 5 rubles/min;
• Use of long-distance calls – fee for outgoing calls is 5 rubles/min.;
• Payment for international communication services - according to the approved schedule for international communication;
• SMS, MMS – incoming messages 0 RUR, outgoing messages to subscribers of Russian companies regardless of region 2 RUR, sending SMS to Beeline subscribers in the CIS countries 5.95 RUR, communication with subscribers of international providers 5.95 RUR, sending MMS messages 6.45 rub.;
  Price from the official website
• Internet – incoming and outgoing traffic 2 rubles/1 MB.

1 ruble is withdrawn daily. for using the services. There is no charge for upgrading to this offer.

Tariff plan cost

The operator has set a fixed monthly fee of 100 rubles.

Calls and messages

The tariff plan includes 30 minutes of calls to phones of all operators. The offer is not intended for calls, therefore the payment for communication services is considered the highest among all products offered by Beeline. A package of 100 free messages is consumed when sending SMS within the network in the customer's area of ​​residence.

After the limits are exhausted, payment is made at the following rates:

• incoming calls are not charged;
• outgoing calls to Beeline network subscribers - 5 rubles. in a minute;
• conversations with clients of other operators - 5 rubles;
• short message - 5 rubles;
• multimedia notification - 10.6 rubles.

Internet

A permanent connection to the network is considered the main positive quality of the tariff. The traffic included in it is enough for the normal operation of children's watches with GPS, fitness bracelets, and anti-theft systems. The user can send messages in instant messengers, download simple programs, and use widgets. Devices can be connected to the Internet using LTE technology.

When using the Internet, the following conditions apply:

1. After the main traffic is used up, the speed extension function is activated. 52 rubles are debited from the account. The user is given 100 MB. Such packages are added sequentially until the end of the billing month if there are funds on the balance. To deactivate auto-renewal, send a USSD request *115*230# or call 0674717780 .
2. If auto-renewal is not possible, access to the Internet will not be terminated. Pages load at 64 kbps.

In roaming in Russia and abroad

When traveling around the country, the client’s place of stay is transferred to the home category. Terms of service remain the same. The proposal under consideration is not valid on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. However, tariffing here is carried out at preferential rates. Outside Russia, basic roaming conditions apply.

When traveling abroad, you can activate a service that allows you to pay for traffic only on days you are connected to the Internet.

Children's watch

For such devices, both the tariff discussed in the review and the cheaper Signal offer are suitable. It is intended for children's watches, smart home systems, security systems, and sports bracelets. The subscription fee is 1 rub. in a day. Free service packages are not provided. An outgoing call costs 5 rubles, SMS - 2 rubles, Internet - 2 rubles. per megabyte. There is no option to send multimedia messages.

How to connect a Wear OS watch to your smartphone

Having chosen a device, all that remains is to connect it to your smartphone. First of all, you need to install the Wear OS application on your smartphone by downloading it from the Play Store or iTunes, then follow our instructions:

1. After making sure that your smartwatch is turned on, click on the Wear OS shortcut on your phone.
2. Click “set up”, then click on the name of the watch you want to connect.
3. The same code should appear on the smartwatch and smartphone screen. If the codes do not match, reboot your smartwatch and phone, check if Bluetooth is turned on on both devices, and if one of the devices is in airplane mode.
4. If the code matches, click “connect” and complete the setup following the instructions on the screen.

If everything is done correctly, the word “connected” will appear next to the name of the smartwatch. If this message does not appear or is displayed as “disabled”, restart both devices and repeat the operation.

For Android and iOS the algorithm is identical.

Reviews

I chose this offer for my child - they connected him to a smart watch with GPS. It is enough to pay only one hundred rubles to track your baby’s movements, keep him under control and in touch at all times. Separately, I would like to highlight the ban on paid subscriptions - previously they were afraid that, out of stupidity, the son would connect unnecessary content. Overall I’m happy, the package is enough for a child.

This SIM card is in my alarm system. I chose it for its low cost and excellent capabilities - I don’t need minutes for communication, but SMS and the Internet are more than enough. I didn’t find any disadvantages in the “For Smart Things” TP.

I bought this SIM card for a tracker. You don’t need a lot of Internet for such things, so a small package is enough for rare connections. The price is especially pleasing - only one hundred rubles for uninterrupted communication!

Tariffs with Home Television

Complex 2 in 1 packages mean paying for two services on a single invoice and saving your family budget.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the line of convergent Internet and TV tariffs.

Digital Television with an impressive TV package is included in every tariff plan. The television menu is selected taking into account the interests of each family member. Here you will find:

• live broadcasts of sports matches with professional commentary;
• religious TV shows.

Spend a pleasant evening with your family with Beeline TV packages.

“Internet for Things” from Tele2

Tele2’s “Internet for Things” tariff is the operator’s first offer, which was developed for children’s watches and other smart devices. It will hit the market in the summer of 2021.

This option can be used exclusively on smart gadgets. If you install a SIM card with “Internet for Things” in a smartphone or tablet, access to communication services will be blocked.

You will not be able to activate this offer on your existing SIM card. But you can transfer your number: to do this, when purchasing the starter kit, reissue your old SIM card.

What's inside and how much does it cost?

The subscription fee is 100 rubles. per month. There are no daily, annual or one-time payments.

For this money you get the following set of services:

• 300 MB mobile traffic;
• 30 minutes for subscribers of any operators;
• 100 SMS messages throughout Russia.

If there is a lack of funds for payment, outgoing services are suspended, and children's smart watches become practically useless.

Packages on the tariff are not saved and expire if they are not spent within the allotted month.

Services beyond packages

When your packages come to an end, you will have to pay 1.95 rubles for every minute of conversation or SMS message within the country. Internet speed is limited to 64 Kbps.

You can purchase additional packages through the Tele2 Exchange.

TP from Russian mobile operator Tele2

It’s not so easy to find a tariff for connecting to a navigator without a monthly fee. For this operator, it may well be the “Classic” TP. Although, in the absence of a monthly fee, it is difficult to call the current tariff plan successful; for the first megabyte used, the amount of 1.95 rubles is charged. Further payment is charged for packages of ten MB. The cost of one package is 19.5 rubles. If you consider that all smart gadgets and the navigator are no exception, they consume a minimal amount of traffic, then such an offer cannot be called profitable.

Analogues of other operators

For an objective assessment, before switching to one or another tariff, it is worth considering offers from all operators. Consider the cost of the services of the big four: MTS, Tele2, Megafon - prices are taken for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.

Table

Internet tariff for things

Who is this tariff suitable for?

The package offer is designed for users with smart devices. They arrange their home and use such devices to constantly be aware of what is happening. The tariff is suitable for the following equipment and power systems:

• Heating system of the house;
• Boiler of any kind, regardless of the fuel used;
• Counter for calculating consumed energy resources;
• Signaling;
• Video cameras and recording devices.

If a person needs to stop the process, find out about the state of the system, or resume the operation, he can send an SMS command or perform control via the Internet. If possible, send GPRS coordinates to carry out the operation.

When signal boosting is needed

The purchase of an amplifier is required if:

• your smartphone often receives SMS messages about failed calls, while the device is always on;
• The connection speed is insufficient for comfortable Internet use;
• When talking or using the network, interruptions often occur;
• There is noise during calls.

All the described points are relevant for country houses and dachas. However, the problem of poor-quality signal from a cellular station can also occur in cities and areas with densely built-up buildings.

Smart watch Android – Wear OS

Devices that can be classified as smartwatches appeared, perhaps, even earlier than smartphones, but their mass production occurred at the beginning of the second decade of this century. It was then that smartwatches “learned” to synchronize with smartphones, which made them especially popular. And almost immediately the question arose of creating a unified operating system designed specifically for wearable gadgets and facilitating their synchronization.

The information mega-giant Google got down to business, announcing the creation of a new OS in 2014. Samsung, Motorola, Asus, HTC and LG immediately joined the project. This concentration of forces could not help but have an impact, and literally a couple of months later the first prototypes of smartwatches for the new operating system were released - Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch.

This is interesting! It seems like a given now, but at the time it was a breakthrough that Android Wear was compatible with watches with both a rectangular and a round display.

In 2015, the developers announced the release of a special Android Wear application for the iOS operating system. Using this application, it is possible to synchronize Android smartwatches with iPhone smartphones.

In March 2021, the operating system received its current name - Wear OS.

Selected recommendations

There are a number of recommendations that need to be taken into account when selecting an amplifier:

1. Frequencies. Beeline provides mobile communications and Internet services on all possible 3G and 4G frequencies in Russia, but only a few bands operate in a certain area. For example, outside the city, the fourth generation network operates only on LTE 800 and 1800. LTE2600 operates only in cities.
2. Mounting height. The higher the equipment's antenna is mounted, the better it will work. In this case, it is important to direct it towards the tower.
3. When purchasing outdoor routers, you cannot choose equipment based only on the strength of the transmitted signal. The speed of access to the network does not depend on it, but on the amount of interference. The lower the signal to noise ratio, the higher it is.

Network amplifiers have many advantages. They allow subscribers living outside the city to use high-quality and stable communications and the Internet. Amplifiers have one drawback - high cost, but in certain circumstances this becomes less important.

Advantages and disadvantages of the tariff

The positive qualities of the tariff plan include:

• The ability to control and monitor home and other equipment from anywhere;
• The ability to use the offer as an additional source of control (customers can purchase 2 SIM cards - one will be needed for calls, the other will be a home assistant);
• Small subscription fee;
• Profitable Internet for those who use it only for necessary purposes;
• The cost of SMS is lower than other tariffs of the provider.

But there are also weaknesses in the “Signal” package:

• Call tariffs are overpriced;
• If you use the tariff abroad, you will have to spend more;
• The conditions do not apply to all territories;
• Low Internet speed if you want to use it for other purposes.

The offer was developed taking into account the needs of residents of megacities who use modern devices in everyday life to make life easier. When using the package to perform certain tasks, the user will spend a lot of money. The tariff also allows you to keep in touch and use the Internet for basic requests.

Beeline "Signal" tariff: detailed description

Knowing what this tariff plan from Beeline is intended for, you can move on to a description of its characteristics, which is quite simple and concise. This is explained by the fact that the package applied to smart devices does not require a large number of services. The main thing is to provide the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.

That is, 30/31 rubles per month, which is a completely affordable offer, considering that most owners of smart devices have little desire to spend additional money on communications, in addition to paying for the main phone number.

For such a small fee, the package offers the following services with the following pricing conditions:

• Internet traffic usage: 2 rubles for each megabyte of data consumed/transferred;
• Free incoming calls;
• Any outgoing calls within the country: 5 rubles;
• Sending messages within Russia: 2 rubles;
• Messages abroad: 5.95 rubles;
• Sending MMS: 6.45 rub.

Children's watch

Important factors that you should pay attention to when choosing this tariff plan for an item purchased for a child:

• Excellent speed and stable coverage. The operator claims that it is building the network the fastest and adding 20% ​​of base stations per year;
• Inability to activate paid offers. All subscriptions are closed for connection - no need to worry about unauthorized debiting of funds;
• Low cost. You could see for yourself that the operator offers a low price for a large package of services.

We figured out how the Beeline tariff for smart watches for children works. It's time to talk about how to switch to using the Smart Things tariff.

We will tell you how to activate the Beeline Social package tariff and learn more about it in another article.

Signal connection

To become the owner of such a very unusual, but necessary tariff from Beeline, you need to purchase a SIM card with a starter package of services. In the communication salon of the “bee” operator it will cost only 30 rubles. After activation, the tariff begins to work.

That is, you cannot reconnect your current tariff to the “signaling” one. The new SIM card must be inserted into the smart device slot. After activating the SIM card, you need to make sure that it has a positive balance, and then synchronize it with your main smartphone or tablet, where all the information from smart devices will be received.

You can purchase a new package without leaving your room: just go to the operator’s website, select “Buy a SIM card in one click.” This will be followed by a call from the manager to clarify the details and terms of delivery of the card.

Difficulties may arise during the setup process. You can resolve issues by calling the single Beeline reference number - or by dialing 8-800-700-06-11. Or get the necessary advice on the website from the support service.

Internet

The main advantage of the tariff is stable 4G/LTE Internet access without interruptions or drops in speed. A traffic package of 500 Megabytes, designed for 1 month, is enough for the active use of instant messengers and widgets, and downloading light applications. Internet speed is not satisfactory and is limited only by the capabilities of the mobile network and smart device.

What if the Internet runs out?

If the main Internet package is exhausted before the end of the month, the speed extension starts working by default: an additional traffic package of 100 MB is connected at a price of 52 rubles. Following the exhaustion of one package, another identical one is connected, until a new month begins or the money on the balance runs out.

To prevent significant expenses and prevent money from being written off from your phone, speed auto-renewal[/anchor] can be turned off by sending a USSD request *115*230# or calling toll-free 0674717780.

If the automatic renewal option is not activated or there is not enough money on the balance to connect to the next additional package, access to the Internet is maintained, but the connection speed automatically drops to 64 Kilobits per second until the option is activated/receipt of funds.

It turns out that in practice the Internet is unlimited, but without payment its speed becomes unbearably slow (although in a difficult situation this is good).

Disabling tariff

If you no longer want to use the Signal service, you can disable it. You can use it in any way:

1. Block a SIM card with a valid “Signal”.
2. Call the Beeline operator at 0611 or 8-800-700-06-11 and ask to deactivate the service.
3. Switch to another package of mobile operator options through your Personal Account or application on your smartphone.

The Signal tariff does not apply to all regions of Russia. Before connecting, all the details of the service must be clarified with the operator. In some areas where the option package is available, the cost of the subscription fee or incoming/outgoing calls may vary.

The tariff cannot be called profitable. But, first of all, it was created for a purpose other than communication - for remote control of intelligent technology.

Why does a watch need a SIM card?

Let's start with the fact that not all watches that manufacturers position as “smart” have the ability to install a SIM card.

There is a category of watches “for entertainment” - they do not allow you to locate your child or call him. When choosing a watch, be sure to pay attention to this nuance. A toy watch may be visually attractive and cheap, but it will not help a child in a difficult situation.

There is also a category of watches that are sold with a built-in SIM card. You will not be able to change the operator or tariff. Therefore, before purchasing, check which cellular networks a particular device works with and whether it is possible to replace the SIM card.

Reference

The location of the device is determined by three methods. GPS shows the highest accuracy . For this method, the error outdoors ranges from 5 to 50 m. But indoors, the error can be up to 500 m, which is why many watch models are additionally equipped with an LBS and Wi-Fi network scanner.

• LBS (Location-based service) determines geolocation using the nearest cell tower, and the more towers the operator has in the area, the more accurately the location is displayed.
• A Wi-Fi scanner works well indoors and helps correct coordinates outdoors. At the same time, the operation of the scanner does not depend on whether the nearest network is password-protected or not.

Regardless of the method used to determine the location, an Internet connection is required to transfer coordinates to a third-party device (for example, to a parent’s phone).

Cellular communication in the watch allows (if children's GPS watches have these functions):

• track watch locations;
• make regular and video calls;
• listen to the sound around the child;
• attract the child’s attention with a loud signal (you can find a watch in the same way if the child “put it somewhere”);
• receive notifications if your child takes off their watch;
• receive notifications when a child enters and leaves a safe zone;
• use the SOS button;
• use a pedometer.

Please note that watch functionality may vary. And more doesn't always mean better. Before buying a watch, determine the functions that your child will use and those characteristics that are important to you. Perhaps your priority will be to have a large battery capacity rather than having a built-in camera (most models have very mediocre shooting quality). Some parents also believe that clock games and even calculator games can have a negative impact on a student's academic performance. For example, video calls will waste Internet traffic, and this will affect the family budget.
