If you are served by another operator, you can switch to MTS while keeping your number. To do this, you need to write an application on the website and select a suitable inexpensive tariff plan. Those who spend a lot of time watching videos will benefit from the option for unlimited access to Youtube. Connect to the service for 300 rubles and enjoy unlimited viewing of films, TV series and game reviews.

Our recommendations
When purchasing SIM cards and connection codes, follow the recommendations:
- Don’t fall for the first offer you come across – study it carefully.
- Do not deal with overly intrusive individuals - intrusiveness is often a sign of fraud.
- Assess all the risks - remember that a SIM card with a non-public hidden tariff, issued to an unknown person, can stop working at any time (there are plenty of such examples).
- Carefully evaluate reviews and recommendations about sellers.
By the way, Russia is full of small private communication shops that are not part of large network companies. And they quietly sell SIM cards with hidden tariffs, without hiding this fact. Some of them even accept applications for the official transfer of subscribers to hidden corporate tariffs. 99.9% of these sellers can be trusted. And we’ll leave 0.1% for the ubiquitous risks.
Megaphone
Megafon has been operating in the mobile operator market for a long time and receives good reviews from its subscribers. Choose from the catalog tariffs with ready-made service packages, pay-as-you-go or unlimited plans. Popular tariff “Turn on! Communicate" includes 500 minutes of calls throughout Russia, unlimited Internet and an unlimited number of SMS messages for 500 rubles per month for subscribers from Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk.
Buy a SIM card from Megafon for a modem, tablet or router with unlimited Internet or pay-as-you-go traffic. Tariff “Turn on! Look” is good for film buffs. In addition to a large package of minutes, the Megafon TV application is available with a free database of films, TV series and broadcast of sports TV channels.
In the “Turn on” tariff line from the mobile operator Megafon, it is possible to receive cashback for payments. The longer you are a client of the company, the greater the percentage returned from purchases. For subscribers traveling abroad, Megafon has prepared one day of free roaming, when communication services are paid for at home. This is the fourth best cell phone carrier based on user reviews in 2021.
MegaFon: "Fortuna"
The most profitable non-public offer from MegaFon is the “Fortuna” or “Fortuna VIP” tariff. This is a line of seven tariffs designed for those who like to talk, as evidenced by the huge packages of minutes.

Yota
The mobile operator Yota has a convenient designer in which subscribers independently create a tariff: the number of minutes for calls, the volume of mobile Internet and additional options. Create a minimal package if you practically never use a smartphone, or add more services if you are used to not denying yourself communication and mobile entertainment.
A big plus of Yota tariffs is the availability of unlimited applications for smartphones. For 30 rubles per month you can use VK, Instagram, Odnoklassniki unlimitedly. The cost of services does not change when moving to another region; clients of the mobile operator communicate with friends and relatives throughout Russia without overpayments. For tablets, Yota offers a range of tariffs with unlimited Internet and applications.
By installing the operator’s mobile application, you can set up a tariff online, find out and top up your balance, activate automatic payment, and get specialist support. The operator has good reviews and inexpensive prices for communication services, so it is included in the list of the best and is in third place in the ranking.
"Corporate standard"
The “Corporate Standard” tariff from MegaFon is valid - representatives of a legal entity or individual entrepreneurs can subscribe to it. It is distinguished by the absence of a monthly subscription fee and affordable prices for communication services.
The emphasis in the description of MegaFon's "Corporate Standard" tariff should be on the minimum cost of calls made between employees of the same organization. The cost of one minute is 20 kopecks.
Other characteristics of the tariff plan are presented in the table below:
Outgoing calls between a corporate group of subscribers | 20 kopecks for 1 minute with per-second billing |
Outgoing calls to numbers of other MegaFon subscribers | 1 ruble 20 kopecks per minute |
Outgoing calls to numbers of subscribers of other mobile operators | 1 ruble 20 kopecks for 1 full minute of conversation |
Mobile Internet access | 9 rubles 90 kopecks per 1 MB |
The tariff provides for the possibility of connecting options with payment in the form of a monthly subscription fee. It is 160 rubles. The subscriber receives free Internet access and free calls to MegaFon subscriber numbers.
Beeline
Customers who chose the Beeline telecom operator did not regret their choice. The company provides high-quality communications at inexpensive prices, and also gives gifts to subscribers. You can choose the one that suits you from a large number of tariffs. The Unlim package includes unlimited Internet, 600 minutes of communication, 300 SMS messages. For the first three months, the subscription fee in Samara, Crimea and Chelyabinsk is 345 rubles.
For large families there are special rates for three or four numbers with a 20% discount for a year of using mobile services. On the site you can choose a beautiful number for free, and also transfer from another operator, keeping your current phone number. To save on home Internet, Beeline offers comprehensive tariffs from 690 rubles per month, including unlimited traffic at speeds of up to 100 Mbit/sec.

More than a thousand films and hundreds of TV channels will be available for viewing on TV, smartphone and tablet. You can create a separate profile for your child with parental controls to ensure that the content viewed online is safe.
Tele 2
If you are looking for an operator with high-quality communications and inexpensive tariffs, pay attention to Tele2. The company offers packages starting from 200 rubles per month, as well as tariff plans without a subscription fee. The most popular tariff in the catalog. It is suitable for young people who prefer to communicate a lot and browse Internet sites without restrictions.
The advantage of Tele2 tariffs is non-tariffed traffic for instant messengers (Vkontakte, Instagram, Viber). Most can be customized to your preferences: change the number of minutes and gigabytes of mobile Internet, as well as activate additional options. Tele2 runs promotions and gives discounts for subscribers; install the provider’s mobile application and receive personal offers from the company daily.
If there is not enough mobile Internet within the tariff, you can extend it until the next package is charged. Additional 3 GB of Internet traffic costs 200 rubles. This amount is enough for 15 hours on social networks or 18 hours of listening to music. Tele2 has received many positive reviews, which is why it occupies a leading position in the ranking of quality telecom operators in Russia.
Corporate Services
In addition to the main tariff plans, you can use additional options from Tele2. These include the following proposals:
- Corporate PBX. This will allow you to implement a help desk or telephony for any other purposes. Employees will be able to communicate with clients using mobile phones. At the same time, you do not have to purchase and install expensive equipment in the office;
- Employee control system. During working hours, you can track the geolocation of employees and set limits on mobile services for them. The option allows you to edit parameters for each employee separately;
- SMS target. Effective sending of messages to all specified numbers. There is a target audience segmentation module.
The best rates for surfing the Internet
Internet surfing has become an integral part of the life of a modern person, but at the same time – a large expense item. With the tariffs listed below for the same or less money, you can provide yourself with Internet for a month.
Tele2 “My conversation”
One of the most budget tariff plans that allows you to access the Internet at any convenient time throughout Russia. The exception is the Republic of Crimea. The tariff includes 5 GB of high-speed Internet for only 150 rubles per month. Other bonuses include: sending 50 SMS within the country, unlimited communication within Tele2 and 200 minutes to other regional operators. If there are any unused minutes or megabytes left, they are transferred to the next month for free. Users also like the payment system - a certain amount is withdrawn daily (depending on the region, 4-10 rubles).
Price: 150 rubles.
Yota “Everyone has their own Yota”
The mobile operator offers unusual conditions for using services. The minimum tariff plan implies a monthly payment of 300 rubles. The price includes unlimited Internet, but at low speed – 64 Kbps. The more expensive the tariff, the higher the speed. The price tag for services ranges from 300 to 1200 rubles. Yota Internet is convenient for those who consume a lot of traffic, so you can avoid paying for your home network.
Price: 300-1200 rubles.
MegaFon "Turn on! Write"
One of the most universal entry-class tariffs from Megafon. Among its advantages are 300 free SMS and unlimited access to popular instant messengers (WhatsApp, Viber), which is valid permanently, and not upon connection or the first couple of months. When you pay 400 rubles, the mobile operator provides 5 GB of traffic, unlimited network access and 300 minutes to any operators within the region. There is not even an additional fee for the transition. A significant plus is unlimited access to MegaFon.TV, where they constantly upload the latest films and TV series.
Price: 400 rubles.
Beeline "First gigs"
This is an interesting tariff, because it contains a lot of mobile Internet, as much as 30 GB of traffic. As a bonus, the service provides 400 minutes for calls within Russia. The user can choose a number with a successful combination of numbers for free. Among the less important, but pleasant bonuses: 30 television channels and 300 films. It does not have SMS included in the price; you will have to pay 2.5-5 rubles for each message.
Price: 420 rubles.
Speaking of high-speed Internet
Many sellers offer SIM cards with hidden tariffs that allow you to access the Internet at enormous speeds. It’s difficult to say how true this is, but we couldn’t find any real reviews (we won’t take into account custom-made nonsense on well-known review platforms). To some extent, high speed is ensured by using external antennas tuned to a specific base station, but even this is not a panacea.
Speed depends:
- Depending on the load on the base station.
- From weather factors.
- From the subscriber's location.
- From the equipment used.
We question the existence of tariff plans characterized by increased access speed. The exception is the newest line of unlimited tariff plans from MegaFon “Create Wi-Fi”. These are public and accessible tariffs, specifically for which a map of guaranteed speeds has been built - from 7 Mbit/s and from 50 Mbit/s. There are two tariffs in total:
- “Wi-Fi for yourself” – speed up to 7 Mbit/sec with a subscription fee of 750 rubles/month;
- “Wi-FI for the family” – speed up to 150 Mbit/sec with a subscription fee of 1300 rubles/month. Discounts are provided for the next month if traffic consumption was low in the current month - 25% for consumption less than 25 GB and 10% for consumption less than 100 GB.
There is a traffic limit in the offer - it is 3 TB (terabytes - not a typo) per month. Once this volume is exhausted, speed restrictions may be imposed. But it is very difficult to use up such a huge package. Along with the tariffs, routers are mandatory - rent for 100 rubles/month or purchase for 5,790 rubles.

Best call rates
If you spend most of your time within a Wi-Fi network, there is no need for large amounts of traffic. The first factor in choosing a tariff plan is the number of free minutes both online and offline.
Smarts “What you need 500+”
The main reason for the tariff plan to be included in the rating is the availability of 500 free minutes for outgoing calls per month. You can make calls anywhere in the country, but with the Internet, not everything is so simple. Standard conditions provide 3 GB, but it works stably only in certain regions. You can view the coverage map on the company's official website. The tariff plan can be recommended for communication lovers or those who have a good Internet signal in the area. The tariff also includes 200 SMS messages.
Price: 245 rubles.
MTS "Smart"
Many MTS users liked this tariff because of the ease of setup. As always, it includes unlimited within the network. There are 3 service levels: 10 GB and 200 minutes, 15 GB and 400 minutes, 20 GB and 600 minutes. The price for the entry-level package is 500 rubles, and for the most advanced – 700 rubles. Everyone can independently choose the tariff plan that can meet their needs. They are all moderately priced. The main disadvantage of the tariff is the lack of free Internet, there is not even unlimited access to social networks. The operator additionally gives 2 months of MTS TV Light free of charge.
Price: 500 rubles.
MegaFon "Turn on! Communicate"
The tariff plan is in demand due to the possibility of connecting to unlimited traffic. The operator still offers unlimited Internet volume for using instant messengers. The standard tariff includes 15 GB of Internet for visiting any websites. It also provides unlimited communication with other MegaFon users and 600 minutes for all operators in Russia. Prices and conditions are subject to regional fluctuations; in St. Petersburg, 20 GB of traffic is given, and in Samara the price is 100 rubles lower.
Price: 600 rubles.
Beeline "Family"
The tariff plan is not cheap, but it includes as many as 1200 minutes for communication between any operators and 300 SMS is a good bonus. It is mainly chosen because of the endless Internet. The tariff was called “Family” due to the possibility of almost unlimited communication with relatives and loved ones. If you connect to home Internet, you won’t have to pay anything extra, it’s already included in the price. Moreover, the operator offers a solid speed of 100 Mbit/sec. If you pay an additional 200 rubles, you can activate and transfer 20 GB of Internet to two contacts, as well as share minutes and SMS.
Price: 900 rubles.
Beeline corporate tariffs
In April 2021, the mobile operator Beeline launched a branch of new “Bright Business” tariffs, which easily adapts to the individual needs of the user. The bottom line is that one collective agreement pretexts a different arsenal of settings for each subscriber. It is worth noting that making calls is absolutely free, the package operates even in the Crimea. Most tariff plans include free minutes for outgoing calls. Thanks to this, going on a business trip has become more pleasant and profitable.
The following prices are intended for residents of Moscow and surrounding areas. In other regions, tariff prices may vary.
"Bright business over 500"
The name of the tariff speaks for itself, since the cost of use is 500 rubles per month. This tariff package includes the following list of services:
- Over six hours of free calls;
- 10 gigabytes of mobile Internet;
- A multi-channel SIM card that allows you to simultaneously receive about one hundred numbers throughout the country. During a call, the device will display a single corporate package number.

"Bright business for 750"
The next tariff plan is more profitable and requires a monthly investment of 750 rubles. For this price, the subscriber will receive 20 GB of mobile traffic, 500 free messages and 1000 minutes for an interview with a client. Additionally, there is support for a CRM device, multi-channel number, group caller ID and active voice menu.
The package also includes the ability to distribute the Internet to five devices simultaneously. The conclusion of an agreement regarding the use of a tariff package between company employees occurs without additional investments.
It is noteworthy that even if the limit is exceeded, calls to Beeline numbers are made free of charge. To numbers of other Russian mobile operators you will have to pay 2 rubles per minute.
"Bright business for 1200"
This tariff plan is paid in the amount of 1,200 rubles per month, after which the subscriber receives: 1,000 free messages, 2,000 minutes for calls within a mobile connection and one cloud PBX license, which allows you to manage the entire system for making calls.
There is also support for a multi-channel number, thanks to which the consumer can always reach the company’s line without long waits. There is a voice menu setting, which simplifies work with clients. In Crimea, calls can be made at a cost of 2 rubles per minute.

The tariff plan provides support for profitable calls throughout the Russian Federation, as well as to China, the USA, Vietnam and Canada.
"Bright business for 3000"
This is the most productive and expensive tariff plan that allows you to enjoy unlimited mobile Internet, as well as 1000 free messages, 5 thousand calls for interviews with clients, cloud PBX and a list of other features. Support for multi-channel number and voice control is also available.
The best tariff plans with a large amount of traffic
Sometimes even a large traffic package is not enough? It is worth using tariff plans with completely or almost unlimited Internet.
TELE2 “INTERNET TO TABLET”
Inexpensive tariff plan with limited Internet (15 GB of traffic). But you can absolutely unlimitedly use the main social networks, the proprietary Tele 2 application and navigation programs. This is one of the few operators that transfer remaining traffic from last month to the next reporting period absolutely free of charge. 500 rubles is the highest rate in force in Moscow. In the regions the price is about 300 rubles.
Price: 500 rubles.
Tele2 “My Unlimited”
This is a budget tariff plan for people who constantly use the Internet. In addition to unlimited traffic, it provides 500 free minutes for calls between all Russian operators. Even a small number of SMS (50 pieces) is not too upsetting, given that you can almost always use the messenger. The cost of the Moscow tariff is 650 rubles, but in St. Petersburg it costs 510 rubles, and in Samara – 400 rubles. The operator also offers the service of sharing available gigabytes between other Tele2 users.
Price: 650 rubles.
Beeline "Unlim"
In terms of price ratio and available bonuses, the tariff is one of the best. It provides unlimited Internet, 600 free minutes for all operators and 300 SMS per month. With the “Delhi Gigi” option for 150 rubles, it is possible to transfer up to 15 GB of endless Internet to another user. This is a good opportunity to save on the tariff for another family member. Beeline offers web surfing not for show; the Internet is really fast and allows you to watch high-resolution videos in real time.
The best roaming rates
Frequent travel abroad forces you to either pay dearly for communications on a permanent card, or buy a SIM from a local operator and lose contacts with friends from home. This can be avoided with the following tariffs.
Tele2 "Premium"
One of the most expensive tariffs from the operator, which includes 50 GB of traffic, 500 SMS and 2000 minutes within Russia, regardless of the operator. It cannot be called aimed exclusively at roaming, so calls and SMS will be made at standard rates. But the package includes the option of unlimited Internet outside the country. The only limitation is that abroad the normal speed will be maintained only for the first 200 MB per day, then it decreases to 128 Kbps.
Price: 1500 rubles.
Beeline “All for 1800 + roaming”
The tariff from Beeline is distinguished by a successful combination of roaming and home services. It can be connected for just 1 month and used in more than 100 countries of the world, including almost all resorts and popular tourist destinations. The price for services in all regions is fixed. The tariff plan includes free incoming calls abroad, 3000 minutes, 3000 SMS and 15 GB of traffic. Calls within the network are not limited.
Price: 1800 rubles.
Megafon "Free Roaming Day"
The service can be ordered for just one day in addition to the main tariff plan. It operates in 135 countries with developed tourism. Money is debited only upon the first call made or when logging into the network. In the official application you can win one day of roaming for free at roulette. Thanks to the ability to pay only for those days on which the traveler uses the services, the tariff can be considered inexpensive. However, it is definitely not suitable for daily use.
Price: from 99 rubles per day.
It's time to start saving on the Internet and communication, even while roaming. All you need to do is choose a tariff plan with suitable conditions and connect to it. This solution will allow you to save up to 100% of the price for mobile services per month.
What are hidden non-public tariffs?
Hidden tariffs are not hidden. They are simply created for a narrow audience of users. A typical example is Romashka LLC turned to the operator with a request to develop a personal tariff plan, since the current corporate tariffs do not cover the client’s requests. And this is quite real, but only for the “big guys” - these are large corporations, huge factories with hundreds and thousands of employees, enterprises with a bunch of branches. Only some of them are created for a wider audience - for example, this is “Smart for our own from MTS”.
For some subscribers, communications are paid for by the enterprise, for others - by the subscribers themselves (but who are employees of this enterprise or relatives of these employees). The last case is ours - SIM cards are almost not controlled, so they gradually (hardly through legal means) fall into the hands of people who have nothing to do with employees of any enterprises or their relatives. It is quite possible that this is the work of employees responsible for communications in certain companies.
People who are actively involved in the distribution of SIM cards with hidden, non-public tariffs are unlikely to reveal their entire business - this is their business (albeit a shadow one) and their income.
Features of non-public hidden tariffs:
- Reduced subscription fee for gigantic volumes of included services.
- Often unlimited Internet, and for mere pennies.
- Unusual service packages - for example, free inbox in other countries of the world.
These are the tariffs that will be discussed in our review.
TOP cellular tariffs for your business. What to choose
We looked at what operators offer for small and medium-sized businesses. And they were surprised.
I don’t know how much you spend on corporate communications – but I suspect that you would like to spend less. Nowadays package offers are in fashion; no one pays for “minutes” anymore. Whose “package” should you choose to be sure?
Last month Yota entered this market with its business proposal. So the rules of the game have changed.
We went through the offers of the 5 largest operators in the country and made a small comparison of conditions.
Let’s immediately discuss the conditions of comparison so that everything is fair.
By region: prices in Moscow are indicated everywhere. By price: choose a tariff with a monthly fee from 450 to 600 rubles. For services outside the package: we indicate the price of outgoing calls and SMS to other operators throughout Russia, and not just in your home region.
Everything else - traffic volume, minutes, and so on - is given as is. Roughly speaking, we select the package price and see what return each invested ruble .
MTS. Smart business M. 500 rubles
- Unlimited on-net calls in your home region
- 700 outgoing minutes in your home region + MTS Russia
- 1000 SMS to home region numbers
- 4 GB of Internet throughout Russia
- Calls: 2 rubles per 1 minute
- Internet: 100 rubles per 1 GB
- SMS: 3.8 rubles per message
Average in almost all respects in comparison - except that SMS is quite expensive. The fly in the ointment lies elsewhere. Unlike other operators on the list, MTS simply blocks access to the mobile Internet when the packet traffic is exhausted.
When you access the Network, a window opens asking you to pay 100 rubles for 1 gigabyte. You can pay strictly up to 15 times a month (1500 rubles for 15 GB). The end result is really expensive and can be dangerous for smartphone owners who do business via the Internet and generally do not limit themselves to SMS and calls.
Finally, this package can only be activated for you by the administrator of a corporate account, and not by the owner of the number - and this is an additional layer of bureaucracy.
Megaphone. Corporate unlimited. 550 rubles
- Unlimited on-net calls in your home region
- 600 outgoing minutes in your home region + MegaFon Russia
- 100 SMS daily MegaFon Russia, 50 SMS to other operators in the home region
- 10 GB of Internet throughout Russia
- Calls: 3 rubles per 1 minute
- Internet: speed reduced to 64 Kbps
- SMS: 3.9 rubles per message
The approach to messages is interesting: instead of a single package, a daily, but limited one is offered. Let's take the minimum, multiply 50 SMS by 30 days - and we get 1500 SMS per month, which are included in the tariff. Not bad. After MTS, we are pleased with 10 GB of mobile Internet, which is really enough for any business tasks.
On the other hand, call minutes are relatively few compared to other offers. 3 rubles per minute outside the tariff is also slightly above average. The Internet is “cut” due to exhaustion, there are no surprises here.
Tele2. Beta. 600 rubles
- Unlimited calls within the network in Russia
- 1500 minutes for all calls within Russia
- 1500 SMS throughout Russia
- 10 GB of Internet throughout Russia
- Calls: 3 rubles per 1 minute
- Internet: speed reduced to 64 Kbps
- SMS: 1 ruble per message
Tele2's offer is surprising in its generosity if you look at it without context. There are more than enough minutes, SMS too, and all this throughout the country without long-distance roaming. They also give you 10 gigabytes of internet. The package is a little more expensive than the others - 50-100 rubles on top.
As a result: who should choose which tariff?
I see 2 leaders, if not one and a half.
If you just say: Tele2 because of the simply larger number of minutes in the package.
If you want everything at once with unlimited: Yota will be more profitable in the end.
Yota for business has an advantage that others do not have: almost everything is unlimited, an unprecedented luxury for corporate offers. And the number of minutes can be expanded right inside the product.
The strangest thing in this situation is how reluctantly the “troika” responds to a new challenge. Where are the corporate unlimiteds from the red, yellow and green? Most likely, they will be in a couple of months. Well, for now only the Blues have one.

Comparison of the best tariffs of mobile operators 2021
Mobile operator tariffs are a very dynamic area. Marketers monitor trends and consumer preferences and, in accordance with them, constantly change both the names and essence of tariffs.
For example, in 2021, the word “Hype” was recognized as the most fashionable word, and MTS promptly released a package tariff with this name - it is not surprising that it became one of the most popular in the line, especially among young people, although over time it was renamed “ X".
Choosing a tariff is not easy - you need to take into account many parameters and communication style in general. We decided to help you and compare the current tariffs of mobile operators in 2021.
Prices and conditions are indicated for residents of Moscow and the region; they may be different in the regions.

Selecting a cellular tariff
To choose the right tariff and mobile operator, you must first analyze your own communication style - answer the questions:
- How many minutes a day do you talk?
- What is the circle of communication - within the family, local calls, conversations throughout Russia, calls to landline numbers;
- How many SMS do you send per day?
- How often do you use the Internet - constantly, a couple of times a day, occasionally;
- What do you do on the Internet? Watch videos, communicate on social networks, or just check your email and chat in instant messengers.
Now you know approximately how much services you need monthly, and depending on this, you can determine whether a particular tariff plan is suitable for you.
Understanding the tariffs of operators is not easy - each has at least 10 tariff plans, and the lines are constantly changing. Here is an overview of the best unlimited tariffs of major mobile operators - Beeline, MTS, Megafon, Tele2. Let's consider only prepaid tariffs, since postpaid and corporate ones are less popular and have some features.
Beeline
Beeline recently launched an update to its tariff display. It has classic unlimited package tariffs, including minutes for calls, messages, a traffic package or unlimited internet.
The subscription fee for these tariffs is from 14 rubles. per day up to 3000 rub. per month. It’s convenient that all tariffs apply both at home and when traveling around Russia under the same conditions. However, do not forget about the difference in tariffs for local calls and intercity calls.
Calls between operator subscribers consume a package of minutes, and after its expiration they become free. Packet traffic is now only at the minimum “First Gigabits”, and on other tariffs the Internet is unlimited. Also in the updated line, the operator paid special attention to the ability to use shared packages of minutes with family numbers. For comparison, we will show the main characteristics and prices of the line of offers.
Risks when using non-public tariffs
There are three categories of hidden tariffs:
- With the sale of a new SIM card registered to an unknown person (most often a corporate client).
- With connection to the current subscriber number.
- Only when purchasing a new SIM card, but with registration in the subscriber's name.
In the first category, the risks are as follows: a SIM card issued to an unknown person may stop working at any time. And that’s it – there will be no one to make a claim. And given the large number of scammers lurking around in this area, they may even give you a non-working SIM card or a SIM card with a public tariff. Moreover, the cost of such SIM cards is up to 5,000 rubles (depending on the conditions offered).
There are no particular risks in the second category. But operators can stop providing a hidden tariff at any time - you will have to use the regular one. In the third category, the risks are the same, and you will also have to change your number.
If you are planning to buy a hidden tariff, carefully read the reviews about the seller, look for recommendations and reviews, and carefully check all the details so as not to make a mistake. But remember that no seller gives any guarantees regarding the SIM cards they sell.
Fraudsters bribe customers in the following way - they offer new SIM cards with unlimited Internet with a ridiculous monthly fee, but for a lot of money. Paying for such a purchase risks not receiving the goods or receiving something that is not what was ordered. Scammers play on the craving for freebies - many people really want to get a penny unlimited, and are ready to spend several thousand rubles on it.
