In the realities of the current world, the Internet is an integral part of a person’s daily life. Computers are fading into the background, as tablets and smartphones allow you to access the Internet from anywhere. In this regard, an impressive number of operators have appeared on the consumer market, offering various tariffs and prices for their services. In the presented rating, we included the 10 best Internet tariffs for phones and tablets so that you can choose yours.
Unlimited Internet on Beeline
For a long time, unlimited mobile Internet was available only from the Yota operator, but it does not have such a large customer base as Beeline, MegaFon and MTS, and therefore there was not much noise around this offer, although it also deserves attention and we will return to it later . As for the big three, Beeline was the first to offer unlimited Internet. Postpaid tariffs of the “Everything” line include mobile Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. Postpaid tariffs differ from prepaid ones in that they provide the opportunity to first use communication services and then pay.
Most often, you can switch to such tariffs at the Beeline office. Unlimited Beeline Internet on postpaid “Everything” tariffs is available as part of a promotion that has been extended several times and is still valid to this day. Beeline decided not to stop at postpaid tariffs with unlimited mobile Internet and opened the “#EVERYTHING” tariff plan for connection, which provides for an advance payment method. There is also a tariff plan with unlimited Internet for tablets. So far, Beeline has three active offers with unlimited Internet.
- Tariffs “Everything” postpaid;
- Tariff “Everything is possible”;
- Tariff “Unlimited for tablet”.
Tariffs have a number of differences and features, so you should consider them separately.
Postpaid tariffs “Everything” with unlimited internet
Postpaid tariffs of the “Everything” line differ in the size of the subscription fee and the volume of service packages, but they all provide unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. The most popular tariff is “All for 500”. We have already done a detailed review of this tariff plan and recommend that you familiarize yourself with it. Here we provide brief information on the tariff.
The “All for 500” postpaid tariff includes:
- Monthly subscription fee - 500 rubles;
- Unlimited calls to Beeline numbers throughout Russia;
- 600 minutes for calls to numbers of other operators;
- 300 SMS messages;
- Unlimited Internet with unlimited traffic quota.
As you can see, in addition to unlimited Internet, the tariff plan provides unlimited calls to Beeline numbers at home and when traveling around Russia, as well as impressive packages of minutes and SMS. All this is wonderful, but there are some pitfalls here. The subscriber actually gets the opportunity to use the Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas, but subject to certain conditions.
“Everything” postpaid tariffs are characterized by the following features:
- If a phone with a SIM card is used as a modem or Wi-Fi hotspot, Internet access is limited. The restrictions are comparable to a complete shutdown of the Internet.
- The tariff plan cannot be used on modems, routers, or even tablets. Unlimited mobile internet is available only for phones.
- The tariff provides for a speed limit for downloading from file-sharing networks. That is, you will not be able to download files through torrent clients.
- In the document with a detailed description of the tariff plan, you can find a clause that states that the operator does not guarantee Internet speed in case of network load. In fact, at any time your network access speed can be reduced and you will be referred to this point.
- Not available on tariffs of the “Everything” line with a postpaid payment system. Let us remind you that this service is intended for distributing the Internet to other subscribers (not via Wi-Fi).
Undoubtedly, the shortcomings are very significant and greatly spoil the impression of the tariff. However, Beeline has other offers with unlimited Internet, although they are also far from ideal.
Tariff “#everything is possible”
The “#EVERYTHING is possible” tariff plan appeared quite recently. Many argue that this is a response to MTS, which has opened the “Smart Unlimited” tariff plan for connection, which is superior in many respects to the “Everything” postpaid tariffs. It is difficult to say whether this tariff is the best and the opinions of subscribers in this regard differ greatly. We invite you to read the tariff description and then decide what is best for you.
The daily fee is 10 rubles for the first month. From the second month, the subscription fee rises to 13 rubles. per day for most regions of Russia and 20 rubles. for Moscow and Moscow region. The cost of switching to the tariff is 100 rubles. The tariff is not the cheapest and for this fee you should expect a lot from it.
The tariff can be everything Beeline includes:
- Unlimited mobile Internet throughout Russia without speed or traffic limitations;
- Unlimited calls to Beeline Russia subscribers;
- 100 minutes (in most regions) or 250 minutes (Moscow and Moscow region) to all networks in the home region and Beeline Russia phones;
- 100 SMS (in most regions) or 250 SMS (Moscow and Moscow region) to numbers in your home region.
If you compare the “#everything is possible” tariff with the “Everything for 500” postpaid tariff, the second one looks more attractive, as it includes more impressive service packages. As for the Internet, the “EVERYTHING is possible” tariff has almost similar conditions. The tariff plan appeared quite recently and not all of its features are known yet. Below are a number of tariff disadvantages that have been officially confirmed. Unofficial information (subscriber reviews) suggests many other shortcomings.
The “#EVERYTHING is possible” tariff has the following disadvantages:
- This tariff plan is for phone only. If a SIM card with a tariff is inserted into a router, modem or tablet, access to the Internet and other communication services is limited.
- If a phone with a SIM card is used as a modem or Wi-Fi hotspot, Internet access is limited. By limiting the speed we mean completely shutting down the Internet. You won't even be able to load the site page. To share the Internet, Beeline offers to connect. The cost of the service is 50 rubles. per hour and 150 rub. per day. It is unlikely that anyone will be interested in such a generous offer.
- If the subscriber creates a significant load on the network, the speed of the mobile Internet cannot be guaranteed by the operator. That is, at any moment the network access speed can drop to an extremely low value and you will not be able to do anything about it.
- When using peer-to-peer protocols, mobile Internet speed is limited. For example, BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol, therefore, downloading files from torrent clients is unlikely to work.
- is not available for connection on this tariff plan. This service allows you to share your Internet with other numbers (not via WI-FI).
Such conditions are typical for the “#EVERYTHING” tariff. As you can see, there are a lot of pitfalls here and it’s difficult to call this tariff plan ideal. However, ideal tariffs do not exist at all. If you are a fan of Beeline, then it has another offer with unlimited internet.
Tariff “Unlimited for tablet”
The rates described above are for telephone. If you need unlimited Internet for a tablet, then Beeline has an offer specifically for these devices. The “Unlimited for Tablet” tariff provides mobile Internet without traffic quota and speed restrictions. A distinctive feature of the tariff plan is that it does not have protocol restrictions. That is, when downloading files from file-sharing networks (torrents), the Internet speed will not change. So far, this is the only tariff with unlimited Internet that does not have a restriction on downloading file-sharing networks. However, this is where its advantages end.
The subscription fee for the tariff is 890 rubles. per month (Moscow and Moscow region). Packages of minutes and SMS are completely absent. In fact, you only pay for unlimited Internet. Moreover, the default tariff does not provide the ability to make calls or send messages at all. Activation of voice communications and SMS messaging services is possible only upon concluding a written contract for the provision of mobile radiotelephone services. The conclusion of an agreement is possible at any Beeline sales office.
As for the disadvantages, everything here is similar to the tariffs described earlier, with the exception of the absence of restrictions on torrents. It is worth adding that on the “Unlimited for Tablet” tariff plan, the “Highway” options, as well as promotions and other bonus programs that give discounts on Internet traffic, are not available for connection. Another disadvantage is that despite the high subscription fee, the tariff does not include communication service packages.
Unlimited Internet on MTS
MTS provides subscribers with only one tariff plan with unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. This does not mean that MTS lags behind Beeline in terms of unlimited Internet. MTS does not have a separate tariff for a tablet or a tariff plan with a postpaid payment system. The “Smart Unlimited” tariff is available not only on phones, but also on tablets. As for the use of the tariff in the modem, there is also a limitation in this regard. But “Smart Unlimited” does not provide for restrictions on distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi and using the phone as a modem. By removing this limitation, MTS stood out favorably against other operators.
However, there are some pitfalls here too. The “Smart Unlimited” tariff includes:
- Unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas;
- Unlimited calls to MTS numbers throughout Russia;
- 200 minutes to numbers of all networks in your region;
- 200 SMS messages to numbers of all networks in your region.
Packages of minutes and SMS are small. Few people worry about SMS, but there may not be enough minutes and then you will have to pay extra. Calls to MTS Russia numbers are also included in the 200-minute package. Only after the package is exhausted, calls to MTS outside your home region become free, but you will have to pay for calls to mobile phones of other operators in your home region. As you can see, everything here is very confusing and tricky. There are also quite a lot of tricks regarding the Internet. The subscription fee in most regions is 12.90 rubles. per day. Subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region pay 12.90 rubles for the first month. per day, and from the second month 19 rubles per day.
Of course, the Smart Unlimited tariff has its drawbacks, and there are quite a lot of them. The most unpleasant thing is that the list of shortcomings regularly increases. This is not because we did not identify them in a timely manner. The fact is that since the time of MTS, tariff conditions have been changing and a similar phenomenon is typical for all operators. Below is a list of shortcomings that are relevant today.
Disadvantages of the “Smart Unlimited” tariff:
- A SIM card with the “Smart Unlimited” tariff connected cannot be used in a modem or router. Is it possible to bypass this limitation? Yes, it is possible, but it is not easy to do. We have already written about how to bypass the restrictions on “Smart Unlimited” and “Everything” postpaid.
- The “Smart Unlimited” tariff is characterized by a restriction on downloading from file-sharing networks (torrents). If you try, these restrictions can be circumvented.
- The document with a detailed description of the tariff indicates that it is possible to limit the speed of Internet access in case of heavy load on the network. All operators providing tariffs with unlimited Internet insure themselves with this review.
We have devoted a whole series of articles to this tariff plan. If you believe the reviews of visitors, then the tariff has a lot of disadvantages. However, we believe that this is relevant for all operators. It is hardly worth counting on the fact that mobile Internet without any restrictions will ever appear again.
Unlimited Internet on MegaFon
MegaFon does not have a separate tariff plan with unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas, but it does have a special “MegaUnlimited” option. Access option for connection on “All inclusive” tariffs. As with other tariffs, the MegaUnlimit option provides for a number of restrictions. The subscription fee depends on the region and tariff plan.
As an example, we present data relevant for Moscow and the region. Thus, on the “MegaFon - All Inclusive L, XL” tariffs, MegaFon unlimited internet within the “MegaUnlimited” option will cost 5 rubles per day. If you use the “MegaFon - All Inclusive M” or “Warm Welcome M” tariffs, then the daily fee will be 7 rubles. For tariff plans of the “MegaFon - All Inclusive S” and “Warm Welcome S” line, the price is 9 rubles. If you have a MegaFon All Inclusive VIP tariff, the MegaUnlimit option will be provided to you free of charge.
Features of the “MegaUnlimit” option:
- The option is only available on phones, smartphones and tablets. You cannot use the option in a modem or router.
- The use of torrent resources and wi-fi tethering is limited. That is, when you try to download a file through a torrent client, the speed will drop to an extremely low value. Distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi will also not work.
- The option only applies within your home region.
- The option is available for connection to subscribers in all regions except Taimyr MR, Norilsk, Magadan Region, Kamchatka Territory, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
Many will think that MegaFon lags behind its competitors in terms of unlimited Internet, but in fact this is not the case. Unlimited Internet without speed or traffic restrictions has long been provided by MegaFon's subsidiary Yota. If you want to activate the “MegaUnlimit” option, dial *105*1153# on your phone or send an empty SMS to 05001153.
Megaphone
The mobile operator MegaFon does not have a full-fledged unlimited tariff. Subscribers can connect . 50 GB of traffic is provided per month, the subscription fee is 1,300 rubles per month.
The tariff plan has additional services, the use of which does not consume Internet traffic:
- maps from Yandex and Google;
- mail services Gmail, Mail.ru, Yandex. Mail;
- social networks VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Odnoklassniki;
- music services - Sound, Boom, Yandex. Music;
- YouTube video hosting.
To use apps for free, be sure to disable your VPN (if it's working). It is also not recommended to use the Opera browser - it works in data compression mode.
When subscribers use the Internet during the day—from 7:00 to 00:59—traffic is consumed as usual. At night - from 1:00 to 6:59 - there is unlimited use without any restrictions.
Unlimited Internet from Yota
Yota offers quite attractive tariff conditions with unlimited mobile Internet. Many believe that this operator has too small a coverage area and is only available in large regions of the country. In fact, Yota services are available wherever MegaFon has a connection , and this is a very impressive coverage area.
Yota unlimited internet provides very flexible settings. That is, you have the opportunity to independently choose the maximum Internet speed and cost. Yota does not have tariffs similar to those offered by MTS or Beeline. This operator offers to select the Internet for a specific device (phone, tablet, modem). First you need to decide on the device on which you will use the Internet, and then you yourself determine the optimal conditions for yourself.
Yota tariff for smartphones
The tariff for smartphones includes unlimited calls within the network and unlimited Internet. You set the package of minutes for calls to numbers of other operators yourself. The minimum tariff cost is 230 rubles per month. For this money you get:
- Unlimited Internet (there are a number of restrictions, see below);
- Unlimited calls to Yota numbers throughout Russia;
- Unlimited SMS (for an additional fee of 50 rubles);
- 100 minutes to numbers of other Russian operators.
- If 100 minutes is not enough for you, you can increase the package to 300, 600, 900 or 1200 minutes. The larger the package of minutes, the more expensive the tariff.
Yota unlimited internet is designed for smartphones. If you need Internet for a tablet or modem, connect to tariffs specifically designed for these devices. You cannot use your smartphone as a modem or WI-FI access point. No one will block you for these actions, the Internet speed will simply be limited to 128 Kbps. You can also forget about using file-sharing networks, since the speed will be limited to 32 Kbps.
Yota tariff for tablet
If you need unlimited Internet for your tablet, then Yota has a special offer for such cases. The tablet tariff provides mobile Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. You have the opportunity to independently determine the period of Internet access. Internet for a day will cost you 50 rubles, for a month you will have to pay 590 rubles, and a year of high-speed Internet will cost 4,500 rubles. The prices are relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region; in other regions the subscription fee will be lower.
The tariff plan is valid throughout Russia. Packages of minutes and SMS are not provided within this tariff. The cost of outgoing calls within Russia to all numbers is 3.9 rubles. in a minute. A similar cost is set for outgoing SMS.
Of course, this was not entirely without restrictions. The Yota tariff includes a number of restrictions that make it less attractive.
The tariff is subject to the following restrictions:
- Unlimited Internet is provided for use on tablets only;
- When using a SIM card in modems or routers, the speed is limited to 64 Kbps;
- Downloading/distributing files in torrents is subject to a speed limit of up to 32 kbps;
- When distributing the Internet via WI-FI or using the tablet in modem mode, the speed is limited to 128 Kbps;
- When staying in Crimea and Sevastopol, special tariff conditions apply. For example, the cost of Internet is 9 rubles. for every 100 KB.
Yota tariff for modem
Today, only the Yota operator has unlimited Internet for a modem without speed limits and traffic quotas. The modem tariff also has flexible settings. You can choose between price and speed. If you need unlimited mobile Internet at maximum speed, then the subscription fee will be 1,400 rubles per month (Moscow and Moscow region). If this is too expensive for you, you can reduce the subscription fee by reducing the Internet speed. For example, Internet at a speed of 1 Mbit/s will cost 600 rubles per month. You can also connect to unlimited Internet for a day for 150 rubles or even for 2 hours for 50 rubles.
As for restrictions, there are none. You can use the tariff in a modem or router, distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi. We did not find any information about restrictions on downloading from file-sharing networks. So far this is the only tariff with unlimited mobile Internet that can be used in a modem or router. MTS and Beeline have long closed such tariffs and options for connection. In general, we can say that Yota is a good operator for the Internet, and if you fall within the coverage area of this operator, then you definitely need to study its offers in detail.
Current tariffs
Do you need fast Internet for communication, work, study, or quick search for information? Consider the cheapest tariffs with unlimited Internet:

You can purchase all of these tariffs on our website. In addition to favorable prices, you will receive round-the-clock support on cellular communications issues, and you will no longer have difficulty dialing the operator’s hotline.
Best deal
It is unlikely that anyone will be able to answer you which operator provides the best tariff with unlimited Internet. It all depends on the preferences of a particular person, and therefore opinions will differ. If you have read the entire review in full, then you already have an understanding that all proposals have shortcomings. Unfortunately, truly profitable offers have long been unavailable for connection.
Previously, unlimited Internet was provided without restrictions by Beeline, MTS and MegaFon, but over time the load on the network increased and operators considered such offers not profitable for themselves. No matter what they tell us, every operator always thinks first of all about profit, but not about the benefit of subscribers. All current tariffs with unlimited Internet are far from ideal, but we have no choice but to choose from what is available.
We tested all the tariffs listed in the article, but we will not impose anything specific on you, since there really is no better guess. You must choose the best option for yourself depending on your own preferences.
Tariff terms
First of all, you need to understand the terminology. Since the beginning of 2017, absolutely all operators have refused to provide unlimited mobile Internet at high speed, but now such offers are again available for connection.
Now, within tariffs with unlimited Internet, a subscriber can choose a certain amount of traffic for a period (month, week or day), within which the Internet operates at high speed, or connect to unlimited Internet at the best price.
Thus, favorable tariffs with unlimited Internet are available to everyone - you can choose both by access speed and validity period.
