When connected, you receive unlimited traffic. You will need to pay four hundred and fifty rubles for this (daily) - depending on where you are in a particular place, the price may vary.

Turbo button
Two modes from this line have restrictions on traffic and Internet speed while abroad. 75 megabytes of traffic may not be enough for some people, especially in cases where they need to visit social networks or send a couple of messages in the messenger.
