Beeline roaming in Russia - how to activate roaming?

When traveling around the country, the need for reliable and affordable cellular communications only increases - we need to call relatives, friends and colleagues, use the Internet to navigate and communicate on social networks and instant messengers.

Just a few years ago, when visiting another region of the country, prices for calls and Internet for a Beeline subscriber changed, which created significant inconvenience and increased costs. Today we can say with confidence that Beeline has canceled Roaming in Russia. Travel around the country using mobile communications at your usual prices and conditions!

Features of roaming in Beeline

Before activating this service, it is recommended to find out your tariff plan, because the cost of roaming services will directly depend on the conditions under which the client was provided with communication within his home region. You can get all the necessary information:

• by calling 0611;
• by visiting your personal account on the Beeline page on the Internet.

Roaming in Russia is available in two options: national and intranet. With the first option, communication will be available even when the subscriber is in the coverage area of ​​another mobile provider.

Through national roaming, communication continues even when you are in the coverage area of ​​other mobile operators. This roaming applies to almost all regions of the country. On-network roaming is valid only in the coverage area of ​​one operator and is activated automatically if the subscriber has funds in his account.

How to enable or disable international roaming

Beeline abroad offers services based on user preferences. You can subscribe to unlimited traffic in Europe, cheap calls from exotic countries, and a large SMS package that allows you to write to friends and relatives about your impressions.

When crossing the border, the parameters of the standard tariff are rearranged, payment for each item takes into account roaming.

How to disable roaming on Beeline

By connecting to the tariff, the user gets the opportunity to use home packages in any city where the stop occurs. If the tariff plan provides for an all-Russian package, then there is no need to activate additional functions and ask the company’s operators about this on the technical support line or in communication shops. Moreover, if an all-Russian package is not provided, then, checking the tariff plan options on the provider’s website, the client may discover that there will be a lot of overpayments. For this reason, the subscriber activates long-distance functions in order to save money. The function is unlimited and is valid when you are in your home region.

The client can deactivate the connected option, since the daily payment will still be charged and affect the balance. The user can take his passport and go to a communication salon to fill out an application for deactivation of the service. In addition, you can call the operator at 067-407-770 and leave a request. For successful identification, you will need to provide the passport details of the SIM card owner.

In case of switching to another tariff using a personal account through the official website, coming to a Beeline office or using another method, the client automatically resets the “Favorable intercity” function. Deactivation occurs when the new tariff contains minutes for making long-distance calls (all-Russian package).

General situation with roaming cancellation

Roaming in Beeline in Russia has been canceled - it does not exist since 2021, but intercity remains. Next, let's look at the difference between long-distance and roaming and why you still have to pay for calls when traveling around Russia. On June 1, 2021, additional amendments to the Law “On Communications” came into force. According to these amendments, all incoming calls when traveling within the country should be free. Operators have also reworked tariff plans and principles for charging communication services when traveling around Russia. These changes divided all Beeline tariff plans into two large categories:

• With home packages of minutes and SMS - they are valid only within the connection region or in the region of the subscriber’s current location;
• With all-Russian packages of minutes and SMS - they can be used to make calls and send messages throughout the country.

The first category of tariffs is focused on home communication. When traveling to another region, the home package will turn into a local one, and calls home will be charged as long-distance. This scheme is not very suitable for traveling, since we call home more often than at our current location. Example - a subscriber from Moscow goes to St. Petersburg. Calls within the Northern capital will be spent from the home package, calls to Moscow will be paid at long-distance rates.

The second category of tariff plans is much better suited for travel. Subscribers can move freely throughout the Russian territory, spending minutes from the packages on calls in any direction. Example - a subscriber travels from Moscow to Novosibirsk. Wherever he calls, minutes will be deducted from the included minutes package. Even if he calls from Novosibirsk to Vladivostok.

Difference between roaming and intercity

Subscribers do not see much difference between intercity and roaming. They rightly believe that operators should have equalized the difference in the cost of calls within their home region and to other regions of Russia. In fact, this is not so - no one was going to cancel the intercity route. Local calls on most tariffs are still cheaper than national calls - and this is normal, given the size of the Russian Federation.

What was really canceled was roaming - a change in the tariffs for communication services when traveling around Russia. Moreover, some tariffs are more suitable for travel, while others are less suitable. For travel, tariff plans with all-Russian packages are recommended, for local calls - with home ones. In addition, amendments to the legislation provided free calls when located anywhere in the Russian Federation (including Crimea and Sevastopol).

Another misconception is that operators supposedly had to establish a single tariff. In fact, this is not so - the law does not provide for any uniform tariffs.

What's free when traveling around Russia

Traveling around our vast country with Beeline has become much more profitable, because communication services have become noticeably more accessible and are provided without unnecessary surcharges. When traveling around Russia we can expect:

• Free incoming calls - in any region, including the most remote and southern ones (this includes Crimea and Sevastopol). While within the borders of Russia, feel free to answer any incoming calls - they will be free, even from foreign numbers;
• Internet packages without additional payments - now the Internet on all Beeline tariff plans works throughout Russia (except for Crimea and Sevastopol). By the way, Internet packages will allow you to save on voice communications when making calls through the popular instant messengers WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram;
• Free on-net calls within the Russian Federation or the region where you are located - if they are provided for by the selected tariff plan.

All that remains is to choose a profitable tariff plan.

Roaming conditions in the networks of other operators

Despite the fact that Beeline mobile communications are available throughout Russia, the operator’s network of base stations is not available throughout its entire territory. In areas of the country where there is no Beeline network coverage, communication services are provided using the networks of other operators under national roaming conditions.

For example, in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, Beeline does not have its own network of mobile stations, so national roaming applies to the operator’s subscribers. More details: Beeline roaming in Crimea.

In the networks of other operators, service packages and connected additional options do not work, and all Beeline tariff plans have the same tariff conditions:

Calls and SMS:

• Incoming calls and SMS are free.
• Outgoing calls within Russia – 2.03 ₽/min.
• Sending SMS to Russian numbers – 2.03 RUR/piece.

Mobile Internet:

When accessing the Internet while roaming, the first 3 MB of traffic used during the day will be paid at 2.03 RUB/MB, and then a 110 MB package will be connected for 203.39 RUB per day. After the package ends, until the end of the day, Internet traffic will be paid per megabyte, at a price of 2.03 ₽/MB.

About the service

How to activate Beeline roaming in Russia? Do I need to take any action for this? Let's figure it out. The very essence of this service is that when you leave the area in which the SIM card was registered, you have the opportunity to connect to your operator’s tower in another city. If this is not possible, the SIM card automatically connects to the base station of any other telecom operator, provided that Beeline has entered into a service agreement with it. At the moment, all major Russian telecom operators provide this kind of mutual assistance to each other, which means that your phone can lose its signal only in the most remote corner of the country.

Do I need to type any command in order to enable Beeline roaming in Russia? No, no additional actions are required from you. The SIM card will pick up the signal and switch the network automatically.

However, a connection is still required if you have previously blocked the service by your mobile operator. But more on that below.

In the meantime, let's figure out which offers from this cellular operator are the most profitable for traveling around the country, and let's start with the tariffs.

Here we talk about the “Everywhere at home” option.

Roaming while traveling around the world

If a subscriber leaves the state, he can keep his Beeline number. To do this, you need to select and connect one of the options offered by this operator.

“The most profitable roaming” service

In the recent past, a client of any cellular company, when traveling abroad, had to shell out considerable sums for telephone communications. Now the situation has changed. Beeline offers its subscribers to minimize the cost of telephone calls. This option is included in all company tariffs. In the CIS countries, a package of 10 minutes of telephone calls costs 100 rubles. Internet traffic will be paid at a rate of 200 rubles per 40 megabytes. An SMS message costs 10 rubles.

In European countries and a number of popular countries around the world, the costs for this service will be:

• telephone calls - a package of 20 minutes costs 200 rubles.
• Internet traffic - a package of 40 megabytes costs 200 rubles.
• SMS message – 10 rubles.

A complete list of countries and specific tariffs for them can be found on the official Beeline website.

activated automatically after crossing the border. There is no option to disable it, but the subscriber can disable international roaming itself. This can be done by sending the USSD command *110*9990# (after this you should receive a message deactivating the service), calling 0611 and giving your passport details to the consultant, or through your personal account on the Beeline website.

“Unlimited Internet” service

With this option, a Beeline subscriber no longer needs to look for Wi-Fi points to make a Skype call or access the Internet while abroad. Having activated the service, the client will be able to access the network in the same way as he did at home - simply by activating it in the cellular network settings. Of course, the speed of the Internet will directly depend on how high-quality communication equipment is installed on the territory of a particular state. In some parts of the world, GPRS technologies are still used.

However, this is quite enough for messengers to work and communicate with relatives or friends. The cost of the service will cost the subscriber 350 rubles daily. For this amount, the client receives unlimited access to the World Wide Web at maximum speed, but after using up 100 MB of Internet traffic, the speed drops to 128 kb/sec.

The service is activated by sending the USSD command *110*20171#. In this case, money will be charged only for those days when the subscriber used (even briefly) the Internet. You can refuse the option by sending the USSD command *110*20170#/

Tariff “All for 1800 roaming”

This option is the most expensive in the line. It provides for a subscription fee of 60 rubles per day (1800 rubles/month). For this money, a Beeline client can make calls to any Russian operator (300 minutes/month) and send text messages (3000 SMS/month) throughout the day. To activate the option, you can go to your Personal Account, send the combination 0674 002 017 or contact the operator using the short number 0611.

The cost of telephone calls for CIS countries is 30 rubles/min. Calls to Europe, USA, Canada, Turkey will cost 60 rubles/min. For other countries the tariff is 80 rubles/min.

The subscriber has the option of 15 GB of Internet traffic in 90 countries. After the package is used up, “Auto-speed renewal” will be automatically activated.

Disabling the service is available through your personal account or through an operator using the short number 0611.

The mobile operator offers an additional subscription for prepaid and postpaid plans. The cost of the service is 150 rubles/month. The option allows you to call any number after the main package is exhausted for only 2 rubles/min. The daily limit is 100 minutes. Activation occurs through the command 0674010333. If the subscriber pays for communication services using a postpaid system, the cost will be 210 rubles, and the conditions will not change. The connection is made through the combination 0674010333.

Subscription is available to individuals and legal entities. Request 06743 will allow you to find out the remaining minutes for the subscription for prepayment, *110*06# - for postpayment. The service is compatible with products from the “Everything” line. If the Beeline client has the “Unlimited within the network” or “Conference calling” option activated, then connection is impossible.

The universal number for deactivating the option is 3014.

A paid subscription will reduce the cost of each minute of a call; incoming calls are accepted free of charge. Detailed layout:

We recommend: What is the coverage area of ​​Beeline

Allowed to activate on any tariff. Connection - 067407771, disconnection - 067407770.

The option is archived, but many Beeline clients use it. They receive 100 minutes for long-distance calls at home and while traveling. The monthly fee is 5.08 rubles/day. Deactivation - 067401110. To keep track of your balances, you can use the command 067462.

Once disabled, you will not be able to re-enable the service.

To find out how much a subscriber will pay when visiting a particular city, you can use the active search bar on the Beeline portal. On the resource, the user needs to select their city at the top of the main menu, and in the search engine line indicate the locality where they are planning a trip. The system will give a complete breakdown of conversations, SMS sending and traffic. Additionally, the subscriber will be offered new options and tariff offers.

Activation of international roaming

For trips to European and other popular countries, the provider offers. The fee is charged only for those days when the subscriber used cellular communications. The first 20 minutes of calls cost a total of 203 rubles. For every minute beyond this, 10 rubles leave the account. The cost of sending each SMS is 35 rubles.

Postpaid payment system subscribers can activate the service using the combination *110*591#. To disable roaming, you need to dial *110*590#. For those who use prepaid payment, this tariff is the basic one.

There are 2 services to which new subscribers are no longer connected - “My Planet” and “Planet Zero”. They continue to operate for clients who have not disabled them previously.

"My planet"

This is a service without a subscription fee, offering the same prices for incoming and outgoing calls: 25.5 rubles. for every minute of conversation. For 1 SMS message, 9 rubles are charged, for MMS - 10.65 rubles. Calls to countries that are not covered by the program cost significantly more (50 rubles/min).

"Planet Zero"

This program is suitable for those who mainly receive incoming calls while traveling. Every day 61 rubles are debited from the subscriber’s account, while he has access to 20 minutes of incoming calls for free. Every minute beyond this will cost 10 rubles. For outgoing calls, 20 rubles per minute are charged, for SMS - 7 rubles.

How to save money when traveling around the country?

When planning your trip, decide what services you will need - how many calls you will make to numbers in your region of residence and to other phones in Russia, whether you will need mobile Internet and approximately how much traffic you will need.

When traveling, it is important to remember that all calls and messages within the region of your stay are charged as local, and to numbers in other regions (including the one where the SIM card was purchased) are charged as long-distance.

Beeline subscribers do not need to connect to roaming - the tariffs for communication services when traveling around Russia do not change. But, since different tariffs have different capabilities and conditions, when going on a trip you can make mobile communications more profitable by choosing the most suitable tariff plan or connecting additional options.

When choosing a tariff with a package of services, pay attention to the conditions for using minutes and messages:

• If minutes and SMS are intended for calls and sending messages only within your home region , then during a trip to Russia you can only use them for calls and sending messages to numbers in the region of your stay.
• If minutes and SMS are intended for calls and sending messages to any numbers in the country , then while roaming in Russia you can use them in the same way, without restrictions.

Check whether the tariff provides for the possibility of unlimited calls to Beeline numbers in Russia. This will allow you to save on long-distance calls if most of your family, friends and colleagues also use Beeline mobile communications.

On tariff plans without a package of minutes intended for long-distance calls, you can reduce the cost of calls within Russia using the additional options “Profitable intercity” and “Calls within Russia”.

International communications

As with domestic calls, international calls are provided without activating special codes. Transferring an amount of 600 rubles or more to your account is the only method to activate international roaming. By the way, in your Personal Account there are instructions on how to completely remove the ability to communicate abroad.

Not all system participants consider automatic roaming connection outside the Russian Federation convenient after the call tariff policy has changed. Therefore, disabling Beeline roaming is quite an effective solution for many.

In addition to the standard option for international calls “The most profitable roaming”, only subscribers of certain tariffs can enable Beeline roaming under other conditions. You can check whether your tariff is special in your personal account or by calling the hotline.

How can I find out the cost of communication services while traveling?

You can find out the parameters of your current tariff plan and the cost of services in your region of residence by calling the toll-free number 0947, through the My Beeline application or on the official Beeline website:

On the Beeline.ru website, select “Services” and go to the “Travel in Russia”

On the page that opens, indicate the city you are going to go to and enter your phone number. After that, click the “Calculate cost” . Current prices will be indicated in the table.

If you have any problems or questions, you can contact the Beeline support service for help at 0611 or 8-800-700-0611 - the call is free from anywhere in the Russian Federation.

Tariffing in roaming with connected service

How to activate roaming? It activates automatically as soon as the subscriber’s number appears in another region. To make communication and use of the Internet profitable, you should separately dial the required combination of numbers.

Cancellation of Beeline roaming in Russia

More and more subscribers began to need to use tariff plans under familiar conditions while abroad. The company's clients positively assessed the end-to-end prices for text messages, Internet and outgoing calls, which came into force in Russia from April 2020. It was decided to mark paid incoming calls.

Using the services of Beeline has become much more profitable. The conditions for using tariff plans have become more transparent and understandable, just like at home, regardless of the region of location.

What changes have been made

Cancellation of Beeline roaming has the following features:

• The innovation will come into force on August 20 in Russia and Crimea.
• Incoming calls will be free both in your home region and when traveling around the country.
• The conditions will become basic and will become active for all tariffs without exception.
• There is no need to connect additional options; the service is activated automatically.

Prices remain the same as in your home region not only for calls, but also for intranet traffic and text messages. Tariffing is carried out in exactly the same way as in the territory of the connection region.

How things really are

The April abolition of roaming did not become a reason for innovations in August. The reason was the requirement of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation that paid incoming calls should be removed along with the abolition of roaming, but the mobile operator made an “error” for which it would be subject to a corresponding fine.

Many people believe that customer care is nothing more than nice words. After the introduction of paid incoming travel in other regions during the summer season, the mobile operator made good money.

Those services that were widely used to provide free incoming calls when traveling were moved to the archives immediately after the full abolition of roaming. They are now closed for connection. For more information on innovations related to roaming, call the service center at tel: 0611.

What types of roaming does Beeline provide?

To activate roaming, you need to decide on a tariff package that suits your lifestyle. For example, do you travel abroad a lot or often go on business trips to other regions of the country? For such clients, Beeline is ready to offer several options for roaming services, each of which is aimed at a specific category of users:

• On-network. This option is enabled automatically when you activate a new starter package.
• International. Designed for those subscribers who actively conduct telephone conversations abroad. If you decide to use this option, you will need to enable the “International connection” option.
• National. Necessary when you are in other regions of Russia. This option allows you to use mobile communications according to a single tariff that you are used to using at your place of residence. This service is activated automatically the first time you make a call from another region.
• Additionally, there is another option called “Easy Roaming”, which is available to all those who use post-payment.

Internet in Beeline roaming throughout Russia

If you are thinking about using the Internet outside your region, then it is better to give preference to the “Internet for traveling in Russia” tariff, which is divided into two types: “7 days” and “30 days”. You can connect high-speed Internet for travel for 7 days for 99 rubles and for 30 days for 199 rubles. You can use traffic profitably by connecting to “Highway 1 GB” for 7 rubles per day, and in your home region the prices remain unchanged.

“7 days of Internet for traveling around Russia”

You won’t be able to find free internet for 7 days, so it’s better to activate the seven-day option by dialing *115*361# for 99 rubles. Upon expiration, it will be deactivated or a renewal message will be sent.

The function is not only to expand the traffic distribution area, but to simply make the Internet cheaper.

“30 days of Internet for traveling around Russia”

Better and longer internet is offered for 30 days, the connection of which can be activated *115*261# for 199 rubles. With access to the global network, you don’t have to worry about your account balance when the option is connected. The tariff offer applies with the exception of remote areas where coverage is physically unable to meet the subscriber’s needs.

You can connect the Internet option for “30 days” both in Moscow and in other regions by paying the established base price.

The time it takes to process a USSD command is minimal, so you can log into the network while roaming immediately within a few minutes after connecting. Users are allocated a limited traffic package, when exhausted, the Internet connection is interrupted.
