The news of Rostelecom's purchase of the cellular operator Tele2 was heatedly discussed in the Russian news. As a result of the merger of companies, Tele2 became a subsidiary; they did not abandon the popular mobile brand. Rostelecom recently launched the Super SIM project - the company decided to sell cellular services under its own brand. In the Super SIM card product line from Rostelecom there are many options for connection, but let’s look at the most popular of them: Super SIM cards S, M and L.
Super SIM Free
Most standard forms of commercial offers require payment of a subscription fee, but such options are not suitable for all subscribers. Rostelecom offers them a package that does not imply a monthly fee. Its users have the ability to make calls, send text and multimedia messages. The main advantage is the absence of a subscription fee. Subject to the use of the SuperSimka Free Rostelecom tariff plan, payment is made on an actual basis. For example, the cost of a call is 1.5 rubles per minute, a text message is 1.5 rubles, a multimedia message is 6.5 per piece . As for mobile Internet, it is charged at 15 rubles. for every 10 MB . The SuperSimka Free tariff also implies the use of international services. For a minute of conversation with a subscriber living in one of the countries of the former CIS , you will have to pay 30 rubles , to European countries - 49 rubles , and all other directions - 69 rubles . Text messaging costs 5.5 rubles/piece .
What is the Internet speed of Rostelecom on Super SIM tariffs?
There is no information about the exact speed in open sources. This setting depends on many factors, including:
- The data transmission technology used.
- Your mobile device.
- Current load on the network.
- Throughput capacity of installed equipment.
- Population density in a particular area, etc.
You can measure the speed yourself in several ways:
- Enable display of data transfer speed in the device settings.
- Use special services, for example, Yandex Internetometer.
Speed may differ significantly between third and fourth generation networks. To use 4G, your device must be equipped with the appropriate module, and you must also be in a reliable coverage area. If the 4G signal weakens, the phone automatically switches to slower 3G.
Tariff Supersimka M Rostelecom
In this case, a subscription fee is already provided; it is charged for using a package that includes free minutes, text messages, and traffic. In addition to the basic services, you can use additional ones. What does the SuperSimka M tariff from Rostelecom offer? For 199 rubles per month, the subscriber is provided with 200 minutes of voice communication within the Moscow region, fifty text messages that can be exchanged with local network subscribers. No exception is Internet traffic , provided in a volume of 2 GB , it operates regardless of the user’s location.
Super SIM card M from Rostelecom is more suitable for those who need to make a lot of calls to mobile and landline numbers and exchange SMS. Keep in mind that if you use packaged minutes, traffic, messages, you will have to pay extra for excess. Outgoing calls over the limit are charged at 1.95 rubles/min . If the monthly fee does not appeal to you, then it makes sense to subscribe to the SuperSIM free tariff.

Super SIM cards L, XL, XXL
The next three tariff plans differ from each other in the volume of minutes, messages, Internet traffic provided, and, as a result, the monthly fee. The SuperSIM XL tariff from Rostelecom is the most expensive offer, because the package includes the largest number of minutes for calls to other networks (1000 pcs.) , text messages to numbers of any operators (1000 pcs.) . Traffic is provided in the amount of 8 GB , which is quite enough for communicating on social networks, watching movies and more. The monthly fee for this pleasure is 550 rubles .
SuperSimka XXL TP will cost the most , but in practice things are different. By providing the smallest number of minutes and text messages, it costs only 350 rubles/month . But! There is one big advantage: unlimited access to the Internet.
As for connecting to any of the described tariff plans, this task is not difficult to cope with. Methods:

How to connect tariff S, M and L
If you don’t have a Rostelecom SIM card, you can buy one at the company’s service offices. Each card has the required tariff and subscription fee configured. If the client has Rostelecom products, he just needs to change the tariff.
Tariffs for using mobile communications, using the example of the city of Moscow
You can do this in several ways:
- Through your personal account. On the official website of PJSC Rostelecom, find the Personal Account tab. Log in there using your username and password. If there is no access, connect it via hotline 8, or by contacting a company employee. You should remember your password and login well. Go to the My services section and select the function of changing the tariff plan. Go to the tab and change to the Super SIM card S, M and L tariff. Before doing this, you must agree to the terms of the Public Offer.
- Contact your mobile operator by dialing 111 on your phone. Using the answering machine, select the desired tariff plan and replace the existing one with a new one. A notification about a SIM card tariff change will be sent to your phone within one hour.
- By sending an SMS message to number 220 with code 11 for the S tariff, 12 for M, and 13 for L.
This is the easiest way. After a certain amount of time, a confirmation message will be sent from customer support.
Subscription fee and its write-off
For subscribers from Moscow, the monthly payment will be 400 rubles per month. It is written off for the first time on the day of connection. Each subsequent withdrawal of money is made once a month on approximately the same date, but provided that there are enough funds on the subscriber’s balance. If there are not enough funds on the SIM card for repayment, then the subscription fee is not charged and access to communication services is suspended. From this moment on, the client will only have access to incoming calls and messages. For a full month of blocking, the subscription amount is not debited.
If a subscriber does not use paid services for 4 months and does not top up his balance, then an additional 3 rubles are withdrawn from his account every day.
Additional packages of SMS and minutes
Did you not have enough basic traffic volumes, minutes and messages? You can always use the activation of additional packages. Tariffs for the Moscow region are as follows:
- 100 additional SMS to numbers in your home region will cost 50 rubles;
- 100 minutes for communication with numbers of third-party operators – 100 rubles.
It is proposed to activate the above packages by sending an SMS message to the service number, or using a USSD request. The personal account expands the basic capabilities, ensuring ease of activation of functions and their variety.
Number management
The company presented unique technologies for number management. Using the functionality of your personal account, the client can:
- quickly change the current tariff plan;
- connect a new SIM card or apply to change your number;
- transfer a number from another operator on favorable terms. So the client can receive a 30% discount for 6 months of service and take part in additional promotions.
To work with the control panel, a stable Internet connection is required.
If there is no traffic
The operator cannot leave the subscriber without the Internet, so it has provided an automatic traffic extension function. When the main 15 GB are used up, an additional package of 500 MB will be automatically activated on the SIM card. For it, 50 rubles will be immediately withdrawn from the balance. After spending it, the next 500 MB of the same value are activated. In total, you can use additional traffic 5 times. After this, you can restore access to the Internet only through other options or at the beginning of a new billing month.
Pros and cons of Super Simka tariffs: what to choose?
Pros:
- Almost all packages include free communication within the Rostelecom network, and this includes not only mobile phones, but also a huge number of landline phones;
- Transfer of remaining minutes, SMS and traffic to the next month;
- Unlimited in social networks and instant messengers without additional payments;
- Exchange minutes for Internet traffic (a reverse exchange would also be nice);
- Inexpensive additional packages of minutes and messages;
- Free inbox throughout Russia. For those who travel a lot around the country, this is a super option.
Minuses:
- Automatic connection of the “500 MB+” or “Internet from phone” options depending on the tariff. I believe that the subscriber himself has the right to decide whether he will connect any options or not. By the way, there are options that are much cheaper and more convenient , spend 5 minutes, choose what you need and save;
- Relatively small coverage of the Tele2 network, on which Rostelecom operates, compared to MTS, MegaFon and Beeline.
Description
“Super SIM L” is another offer from Rostelecom in the “Mobile communications” category. It includes several service packages, the cost of which is already included in the monthly payment. Above these volumes, the basic plan prices begin to apply.
Internet

On SuperSimka L, subscribers may not pay for the first 50 messages. Each MMS will cost 6.5 rubles. Messages addressed to numbers of foreign operators will cost 5.5 rubles, regardless of the recipient’s country.

- Download and install the “Wink Interactive TV” application on your mobile phone.

Features of “Super SIM L”
The tariff allows you to transfer unused traffic, SMS or minutes to the next billing period. These balances must be used up over the next month. In addition, you can get additional Internet by exchanging minutes for gigabytes.
Let's sum it up
This offer is suitable for all subscribers, as it is balanced and includes the required number of minutes, gigabytes and SMS. For those who often correspond via Viber or WhatsApp, a pleasant bonus will be the absence of tariffs for using these programs.
12 gigabytes are provided for Internet use, this is quite enough to access the network. If you need more, you can exchange minutes for traffic or get an additional package, although it’s already paid.
Connection will not take much time, and if the tariff has not changed in a month, then you do not need to pay.
