Tariffs for communication and Internet services from leading mobile operators are constantly changing. New offers for subscribers appear. And advertisements scream about almost free tariffs and tariff options. And in order not to get lost in all this diversity, you should study the offers of operators and compare them with each other.

Package tariffs "Beeline" (Moscow)

Beeline offers tariffs for Moscow and the Moscow region in 2018 as part of package offers that include sms, minutes and Internet packages at the same time. Depending on the chosen tariff, the fee for communication services can range from 400 rubles. up to 2,500 thousand rubles.

Package tariffs "MegaFon" (Moscow and region)

MegaFon offers a wider selection of package tariffs. By connecting to one of these tariffs, in addition to the services included in the package, subscribers can count on unlimited communication within the network throughout Russia (except for the “Turn On! Write” and “Turn On! Listen” tariffs) and unlimited use of popular Internet resources. Connection can cost from 400 rubles to 3,000 rubles.

Tariff without monthly fee

Previously, “Super MTS” could easily have won in this nomination, but this year they made something unsightly out of it, so “Classic” from Tele2.

• There is no subscription fee.
• Outgoing calls to any numbers in any regions of Russia – 1.95 rubles
• Outgoing SMS to any numbers in any regions of Russia – 1.95 rubles

Calls to other regions for the price of home calls are great. And the cost per minute is quite good. A very simple and fairly cheap tariff plan. In Moscow, however, Tele2 only works on 3G/4G networks, so the phone must support at least 3G.

Iota

Yota is the product of Megafon’s efforts, and has a number of positive qualities that have made the company popular:

1. First of all, it is worth highlighting the high data transfer speed.
2. Complete absence of roaming when moving around the country. An excellent option for tourists.
3. The client is free to choose the service package himself. The ability to turn off traffic to a whole list of applications in real time to save gigabytes. The low price of services provides the opportunity for unlimited communication on all social networks.

Minuses:

1. Quite limited coverage area. This is due to the rather young age of the company and the small amount of relevant equipment.
2. Do not forget that this is a subsidiary of Megafon, that is, it depends on it in all aspects.

The provider's main area of ​​activity is social networks. Most tariff plans and options are aimed at these purposes.

The operator is able to provide a fairly diverse list of tariff plans at competitive prices. It is worth highlighting the most popular ones.

1. #first. 420 rub. — 2 GB.
2. #second. 605 rub. - 2 gigabytes.
3. #third. 3145 rub. - 30 GB.

It’s quite easy to choose the package that suits you.

Package tariff with subscription fee

Surprisingly, here again is Tele2 with its “My Online” tariff plan.

• Subscription fee – 400 rubles per month
• Package of minutes – 500 units for calls to any numbers in Russia. Calls to Tele2 are free and the package of minutes does not consume
• SMS package – 50 units for sending to any numbers in Russia
• Mobile Internet package – 15 GB + unlimited traffic from Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, TamTam, Tele2 TV and Sound.
• Balances on minute packages are carried over to the next month, and it is also possible to customize the tariff by increasing the package of minutes and/or mobile Internet, and you can also separately exchange minutes for gigabytes. In general, the settings are “complete stuffing”.

In Moscow and the region for 400 rubles per month, not only are such parameters difficult to find, but also a package tariff in general.

Finally, if both the number of minutes of calls and the number of gigabytes of Internet in a monthly package are equally important to you, then you should pay attention to the following tariffs.

Tariff with unlimited internet

In the latest episode of the “Battle of Operators” on the TouTube channel “Portal Technologicus” I compared tariffs with unlimited Internet from various operators. Therefore, if you watched it, you will not be surprised by the choice - “Turn on! Communicate promotion" from Megafon.

• Subscription fee – 650 rubles per month
• Package of minutes – 700 units for calls to local mobile numbers and numbers in other regions of Russia
• Mobile Internet package: unlimited in your home region and 15 GB when traveling around Russia. You can distribute mobile Internet.

The tariff is a promotional one, so if it suits you, then hurry up to switch to it - it can disappear at any moment.

How to evaluate the Internet

The basis of any analysis consists of a certain number of criteria that will help in assessing the Internet. To avoid making a mistake when choosing, you need to familiarize yourself with each point in more detail:

First of all is the ability to control traffic. Each subscriber must have the ability to manage their remaining Internet. Most often, this opportunity becomes available thanks to your personal account located on the operator’s website. After logging in, you have the ability to manage all available tariffs and change them at any time.

• Cost per megabyte. Most often, this criterion plays a major role when choosing your provider. As a rule, such tariffs do not contain a specific plan and provide services on a per-minute basis. This function is available for every cellular operator.
• Variety of traffic packages. There is a very convenient system by which the subscriber receives a certain amount of free traffic every month. Its size depends on the user's personal preferences.
• Ability to extend and add new traffic packages. To ensure that the client is not left without access to the Internet at the most inopportune moment, it is possible to add a certain amount of traffic in addition to the existing one.
• Affiliate applications. Most often this is an opportunity for free communication through social networks.
• Signal coverage area. Alas, not every operator is able to provide its services throughout the country.
• Internet speed. Each user must have 4g internet and have fast page loading. In 2021, this indicator is extremely important.

All of the above points very accurately describe the capabilities of the Internet. To understand the question: “which mobile Internet is better?”, it is worth learning as much as possible about each operator.

Tariff with unlimited calls

The only tariff with unlimited calls should have won in this nomination - “Let's Talk” from Beeline, but when I decided to double-check its parameters, it turned out that this tariff plan had already been archived and was not available for connections. Now the “Big Four” do not have a tariff with unlimited calls to numbers of any operators, and there is no winner in this category. This is sad.

Additional options and services

Here the leadership finally went to Beeline. This television system showed results in 100% of delivered SMS. The overall message delivery rating looks like this:

• Beeline is the absolute leader - 100% of messages delivered;
• Tele2 – 1.2% of messages not received;
• MegaFon – 1.7% of undelivered SMS;
• MTS – 2.4% of text messages not received.

As you can see, different categories have their own winners and losers. But still, when choosing an operator, we recommend relying on your own cellular needs.

Youth tariff

A somewhat strange nomination, but it exists. A few minutes for communication and a bunch of unlimited services - this is the “X” tariff. from MTS, former "Hype".

• Subscription fee – 500 rubles per month.
• Package of minutes – 100 units for calls to local numbers and MTS Russia.
• Unlimited services: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, YouTube, MTS Music, Apple Music Google Music, Yandex.Music, Zvooq, App Store, Google Play, MTS Connect, Twitch, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks, World of Warships, War Thunder, Tanki X and Tanki Online, The Division, Rainbow Six: Siege, Skull and Bones (2018).
• Mobile Internet package – 7 GB for other services

In addition, we can highlight Megafon’s tariff “Turn on! Listen"

• Subscription fee – 500 rubles per month.
• Package of minutes – 300 units for calls to local mobile numbers.
• Unlimited services: WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, eMotion, TamTam, BOOM, Yandex.Music, Sound, VKontakte Music, Apple Music, Radio Record and other radio stations.
• Mobile Internet package – 15 GB
• Subscription to BOOM for 12 months (Subscription for listening to music from VKontakte for 12 months)

What tariff did you choose? Write in the comments, and do not forget to indicate the region - this is very important.

Tele 2

Tele2 is another young operator that already has many clients. The company's policy is to provide favorable rates at low prices. However, there is one drawback, which is associated with the small signal coverage area. Tele2 is perfect in cases where the subscriber is located in the same region. Internet speed may also vary depending on your region.

It is worth considering the list of services that are popular in 2021:

1. My conversation. 2 GB for 199 rub.
2. Mine is online. 12 GB for 399 rub.
3. My online+. 30 GB for 799 rub.

In addition, each client has the opportunity to independently regulate available packages and increase traffic. The provider provides many options and functions that everyone has access to. Per-minute billing will cost 1.50 rubles. for 1 megabyte. The maximum number of additions is 50 Gigabytes for 999 rubles. The pricing policy is perhaps the most favorable of all.

Who is the best?

Based on all the data listed, we can conclude that the best operator is Tele2 . However, the choice is yours!

The most profitable Internet at Megafon

The operator has several offers with free traffic of varying volumes. Each tariff includes unlimited access to popular social networks, instant messengers, some Internet sites, sites with TV series, etc. (details on the company website).

After studying the characteristics described below, subscribers will find out which tariff is the most profitable for the Internet among products. Each package has completely unpaid content and packages of free minutes of a certain volume.
