Which operator makes the cheapest calls to Belarus?

Review of tariffs for calls to Belarus

The easiest way to reach another person in Belarus is to use a telephone. A smartphone is almost always at hand. All that remains is to pick up and dial the number. However, not all Russian operators offer the user a favorable tariff option. It is worth considering all tariff plans in order to accurately determine which tariff is the most profitable for the user.

Beeline

Beeline previously offered a very convenient tariff called “Welcome”. It was designed to allow Russian users to make really cheap calls to Belarus and other CIS countries. Unfortunately, at the moment the tariff is archived, so you cannot connect to it. Despite this, the user can connect other quite convenient options.

The standard subscription fee for a Beeline client is 35 rubles per minute. This cost is calculated for any tariff plan, that is, it is standard.

There is another tariff, which is called “Per-second”. It is more profitable than the standard one, because the user can talk one minute for 24 rubles instead of 35.

If the user already has a defined tariff plan in Beeline, then he has the opportunity to reduce the standard tariff for calls to Belarus by 30 rubles. This privilege is called "Welcome".

Despite this, in Beeline it is most profitable to use the “Per-second” tariff, since it has a minimum cost. This is beneficial, but the Beeline card can be used as a second one. If the user does not have the opportunity to immediately insert a second SIM card into the device, then he should not consider Beeline as an intermediary for calls to Belarus, since rearranging SIM cards is a tedious task.

The main parameters are that connecting to any tariff is absolutely free. Just go to the official website of the company and read the terms of connection.

MTS

The MTS company has both a regular tariff plan and entire packages specially adapted for the CIS countries.

The cost of calls to Belarusian numbers in MTS is also 35 rubles. This applies to almost all tariff plans.

However, the company has an option through which you can save a certain amount. These are “Profitable international calls”.

The special option involves a fixed cost for calls, but you must pay a subscription fee, which is about 75 rubles per month. The user himself needs to decide whether he is ready to pay 75 rubles per month, and after that 25 rubles for every minute. The option is suitable for both landline phones and mobile phones.

The best solution that the company offers is to use a tariff plan called “Your Country”. The plan is tailored for those who often make calls abroad, including Belarus. To contact any country, the user needs to pay 25 rubles per minute, while:

• Local calls for the user will be 2.5 rubles per minute;
• Within the tariff plan – 1 ruble per minute;
• Mobile Internet is paid for according to certain options.

Speaking about mobile Internet in the “Your Country” tariff plan, the user can use both the first Internet package and the basic tariff plan:

• The first basic package includes 3 GB of Internet for a month, while payment is about 12 rubles per day. If you sign up for automatic debiting, then 360 rubles will be withdrawn per month. The option is activated on the official website or by default, as soon as the user uses up his first 3 MB of memory;
• The basic Internet tariff bill will be 25 rubles for every 20 MB used. The option must be activated using a special code, which can be viewed on the official website.

Note! If a user wants to use the classic Internet tariff by megabytes, then he will not be able to do so. It is valid only for those users who are connected to MTS before April 4, 2021.

Tele 2

Tele2 has previously established itself as a company that has constantly low prices for almost all tariffs. In the case of Belarusian calls, you won’t have to wait for this. You can call Belarus using Tele2 for 30 rubles per minute. For some reason, the most profitable operator decided not to offer services related to calls to other countries, including Belarus. Regardless of what tariff plan a person uses, he will have to pay 30 rubles for one minute of conversation.

Note! The “Simple Geography” option does not apply to the territory of Belarus, so there is no point in enabling the user to enable this option for calls abroad.

Megaphone

Megafon lags behind its competitors in the market as their tariff plan is actually high. To call a person in Belarus, the user will have to pay a fixed cost of 39 rubles per minute. Fixed cost means that the rate is the same regardless of the time of day. Also, this price is the same for all basic tariffs.

If a user wants to save money using Megafon, then he can use a special option called “Call all countries.” It represents a subscription plan of 2.1 rubles per day. This can be considered the cost of connection, which is 63 rubles for 30 days. This amount will have to be paid once. After this, to call Belarus, the user will need to pay 30 rubles instead of 39. This is more profitable than the standard tariff plan from the company.

If the client has a special tariff plan “All inclusive” or “Turn on!”, then an option called “Warm welcome” is automatically available to him. This option includes a subscription plan of 2 rubles per day, but the first 14 days are free. The user can call for 25 rubles per minute to any mobile or landline Belarusian numbers.

If the “Call all countries” option is designed only for certain regions, that is, it has its own connection map, when the “Warm welcome” option applies to the entire territory of Russia. This point is also important to note.

Virtual operators

Virtual operators are a new way to contact loved ones. The most popular virtual operators were Tinkoff Mobile, SberMobile, and Danycom.

If you use the services of popular virtual operators, the user can use the following options:

• Tinkoff Mobile has a fixed cost for calls to Belarus both to landline and mobile devices in the form of 29 rubles per minute. If the user wants to save money, the company will not provide him with additional services;
• SberMobile provides a price that is no different from mobile operators in the form of 30 rubles per minute to all CIS countries. Just like Tinkoff, the user will not find interesting functions in SberMobile that will reduce costs;
• At Danycom the situation is exactly the same. There is a single tariff of 30 rubles per minute. The user will not find additional options or services. At the same time, the fixed cost applies to all tariff plans, including free ones.

As you can see, virtual operators cannot offer the user an interesting and profitable option for calls to the territory of Belarus. Also, the cost per minute is practically no different among the most popular representatives.

To summarize all the knowledge and choose the most convenient tariff, the user can look at the table below:

• 292, 295, 297, 298, 33 - MTS;
