Incoming calls and messages are free. If the user makes calls and sends SMS to the numbers of subscribers using the “Close People” tariffs, no charging is carried out.

After the end of the provided packages, calls within the network are not charged. Calls and messages to numbers of other operators are paid at basic rates - 3 rubles. in a minute or SMS.

How to connect your favorite number

This tariff also includes the ability to connect a Favorite Number, which can belong to any mobile operator in Russia. If a subscriber selects a Beeline number as a “favorite,” then calls to it are not charged, do not consume the package of minutes, and are absolutely free.

If you need to set the number of another operator, then when you reach the limit of 1000 minutes spent per month, per-minute tariffication comes into force at the price of calls to other telecom operators in the Russian Federation, namely 3 rubles per minute.

There is no monthly fee. To connect it you need to dial the USSD combination: *303*desired number without 8#call.

Additional Information

• the tariff includes a lot of services and options for the Internet, for example, “gigs for sleep”, “gigs for steps” or “gigs for brains” - these settings allow you to increase the amount of available traffic for fulfilling a number of certain conditions;
• Internet access speed when watching videos is limited to 1 MB/sec, and the overall speed when downloading torrents is also reduced;
• You can share a basic package of services with 5 numbers, but the remaining minutes, SMS and GB are not carried over to the next reporting month.

Mobile communications and Internet

When transferring data within the tariff, the following conditions apply:

1. The subscriber can use unlimited traffic while within the country. The connection speed does not change when you travel outside your home region. Depending on the strength of the mobile signal, it is 10-20 Mbit/s.
2. Unlimited Internet can be used for any purpose, including downloading torrent files. As network congestion increases, speed maintenance is not guaranteed.

No monthly fee

These tariffs deduct your money upon provision of the service. We have chosen 2 tariffs. Comparing them, you see that the BI+ tariff is the best choice. Why? Let's discuss.

Tariff Bi +

Cheap calls to Beeline Russia mobile numbers. The cost is only 1 rub/min. A call to a local or city number is more expensive - 2.5 rubles.

You should not use the Internet on this tariff.

Paying 5 rubles for 5 MB of traffic is a “robbery” these days. Therefore, when using this tariff, do not forget to disable the Internet data transfer function on your phone. If you leave your region for any other region, you will pay 15 rubles per minute of conversation. Inbox is free.

Tariff Per second

The simplest tariff. A call to local numbers of all operators costs RUB 3.21/min. It's more expensive than Bi+. What are the savings of this tariff? Call every second.

The cost per minute is divided by 60 and multiplied by the number of seconds of the call. If you didn't call for a full minute, then you pay less.

The downside of this tariff is the text is in small handwriting. Calls to any numbers in other regions of the Russian Federation, except Moscow and the Moscow region, are charged as long-distance calls. Prices per call are shown in the table below. You should also forget about the Internet on this tariff.

You could once again be convinced that the Bi+ tariff is the cheapest in this line.

Home Internet

The operator claims a speed of 300 Mbit/s. It may vary depending on the terrain, weather conditions, and the characteristics of the technical equipment used to connect.

To obtain maximum speed, it is recommended to use proprietary equipment. Mandatory L2TP configuration is required. The protocol is not supported by computers running legacy operating systems.

Customer Reviews

Ekaterina, 35 years old, Ivanovo: “I recently activated the tariff, I liked the terms of service. When connecting, they gave me a router and a set-top box as a gift. Television and home Internet are pleasant additions to voluminous service packages. Children enjoy watching entertainment channels. I found a drawback only on the mobile Internet. Movies take too long to load when watching on your phone.”

Dmitry, 28 years old, Kazan: “I connected to such an expensive tariff because of unlimited Internet and television. I found many shortcomings that forced me to quickly abandon this proposal.

First of all, it is the limited download speed of torrents. The movie may take 3 or more hours to load. The speed when viewing online is also not too high. I don’t really use SMS messages or minutes, so the tariff turned out to be unprofitable.”

Roaming in Russia and abroad

When traveling around Russia, minutes, unlimited Internet and SMS accrued according to the terms of the tariff plan are used. Outside the Russian Federation, the provided packages and traffic are not valid. The cost of outgoing calls and SMS depends on the pricing policy of foreign operators.
