The Belarusian operator Life is quite profitable for many subscribers. For a small amount, the user receives favorable payment terms and good support.

The features of this offer, its cost, methods of connection and disconnection will be discussed in the review.
Description of the Shake tariff
It is worth noting that there are 4 versions of this tariff. Versions differ in the number of minutes and Internet traffic for use.
300 minutes are available for calls , as in the second. In the third version, the user can call for 600 minutes , and in the fourth, 900 minutes . This is the limit for all operators in Belarus. After the limit expires, each minute of the call will be at a separate tariff, which is the same for all tariffs of this operator.
The amount of Internet will also differ in quantity, depending on the tariff version. 3 gigabytes are available , and in the second, 6.
