Megafon basic tariff - description, connection and disconnection

Tariffs without a monthly fee are still in demand (even in 2021, people want to save on small things ). Modern tariff plans are mainly focused on unlimited options and a large amount of Internet. As a rule, payments are made by charging a fixed monthly fee, which is very convenient for many subscribers.

However, some customers still want plans without recurring fees, and there are good reasons for this:

• under the terms of the regular tariff, money is debited only for services that were actually provided (minutes of outgoing calls, sent messages), which allows you to save a lot of money;
• SIM cards of this type are used by those people who only need to purchase a number (for example, to register on websites or social networks );
• Many people purchase a second SIM card for special situations, but use it extremely rarely (for example, when traveling around Russia or making calls to another region).

Finally, regular tariffs are suitable for those subscribers who still use simple push-button phones (small children, elderly people). Additional services, unlimited Internet, access to various portals are simply of no use to them. Many operators offer such tariffs: Megafon, MTS, Beeline and even Tinkoff Mobile!

Yota: become a designer of your own tariff

Let's start with a cellular provider with an unusual name - “Yota”.

Note to inquisitive readers - cellular is a subsidiary of the cellular operator Megafon, so their coverage areas practically coincide. Despite the fact that after the merger many analysts promised Yota a quick end, it still works and is in demand on the market no less than its “parent”. This is due to radically different approaches to marketing.

This cellular company refused to develop standard package offers, giving subscribers full access to customize their tariff plan. Thus, all Yota tariffs are customizable.

Right on the start page of the cellular operator’s website there is a constructor with which each user can assemble a package for themselves.

• Within Yota, all calls are made free of charge;
• SMS messages are connected separately;
• Unlimited on social networks is available, and the subscriber selects only those that he uses;
• The number of minutes and traffic in the tariff designer is set at the request of the client.

For example, if you choose 2 GB of traffic and 200 minutes for free calls to third-party mobile operators, you will pay 350 rubles per month. If you refuse minutes – 250 rubles. Take only traffic, for example, 12 GB - 330 rubles. If you don’t connect either traffic or calls, there will be no monthly fee at all, but then calls within Yota will become paid - 2.9 rubles / min.

• Brief summary:

1. We believe that the offers of the cellular company Yota have the most fine-tuning - you can select specific social networks with free access, set the required amount of traffic and minutes (and the step is very small).
2. The mobile operator has developed a convenient and concise mobile application from which you can manage all connected services. No wonder the cellular provider;
3. Yota does not “suffocate” with an excess of additional options. On the other hand, there are much fewer such services here than other cellular operators;
4. Analysis of prices showed that this mobile operator provides the most budget prices;
5. The coverage area and quality of the Internet connection is sometimes poor, especially in the periphery, outside of large cities.

Thus, we award Yota the title of the most inexpensive and flexible mobile operator!

Cost of local and long distance calls

Payment for calls depends on the direction of the call (per minute):

• local operator numbers registered in the region of residence - 1.2 rubles;
• numbers in other regions of the Russian Federation - 5.1 rubles;
• local (regional) numbers of subscribers of other companies - 1.5 (13) rubles.

The home territory is the region in which the contract for the provision of communication services was concluded. The prices presented in the review comply with the rules approved for Moscow and Moscow Region as of May 2021.

Archived tariffs

Tele2 marketers regularly develop new offers for their clients. Meanwhile, more outdated tariff plans fade into the background and gradually become archival. It is impossible to connect such TPs. They are valid only for those subscribers who managed to activate them before they were transferred to the archive. Today this list includes the following TPs:

• My Tele2;
• Everywhere Online;
• Moscow speaks;
• Urban;
• My Start;
• Orange;
• Black;
• Very black;
• The most black;
• Super black;
• Social.

Fares for travel around the world

To correctly organize foreign trips, you should study the current roaming conditions on the thematic page of the official website of the telecom operator. In a special window of the request form, indicate the country. The screen displays prices taking into account the tariff features.

When visiting the Republic of Belarus, for example, 399 rubles are charged per day. Internet (up to 1 GB) and calls (up to 60 minutes) are charged at basic rates. The cost of services outside the package has been increased:

• outgoing calls to Belarus (Russia and other countries) - 99 (5 and 149) rubles;
• incoming - 3.5 rubles;
• outgoing SMS (MMS) to the Russian Federation - 29 (30) rubles.

When moving between multiple countries, applicable rates are automatically adjusted.

Beeline: top “cheerful bee” packages. Customizable tariffs

It is impossible to give an honest assessment and compare tariffs of mobile operators for communications and the Internet without examining the offers from Beeline.

The most popular Beeline tariffs today belong to the “Everything is mine” line with a daily subscription fee, and they differ in the volume of included packages. In total, the group has five tariff plans:

• “Everything is Mine 1”;
• "Everything is Mine 2";
• "Everything is Mine 3";
• “Everything is Mine 4”;
• “Absolutely everything is mine.”

A distinctive feature of the products is the ability to freely exchange the remaining minutes or SMS for traffic and vice versa. This is precisely the principle of adjusting the tariff for each client: choose the most convenient option and adjust its content to suit you.

IMPORTANT! The exchange option is not active in the largest package, since it provides access to the network without restrictions. To activate it, you need to connect a special one for 4 rubles/day.

General terms and Conditions:

1. No tariffs for incoming calls throughout Russia;
2. Free access to the YouTube Music Premium service for six months;
3. When you buy a SIM card and subscribe to a tariff from this line, the mobile operator will give you a “beautiful” number.

Here's what the actual packages look like:

There is another group of tariffs, the content of which cannot be manually adjusted to suit you, but you can select the most acceptable volumes. We are talking about the “Everything” line, the distinctive feature of which is postpayment (once a month).

• The monthly fee varies: 500, 800, 1200, 1500 rubles/month:
• Traffic volume: 10, 14, 20, 30 GB;
• Number of SMS within the network – 300, 500, 1000, 3000 pcs;
• Calls to numbers of all mobile operators in the home area and within Beeline in Russia - 600, 1100, 2200, 3300 min.

Before summing up the products of the Beeline cellular operator, we will mention additional options, the connection of which will provide many cool opportunities - additional traffic, free calls, SMS, participation in quizzes, access to games, music, films and more.

• Brief summary:

1. An analysis of prices showed that Beeline's prices are higher than those of previous companies, but the quality of communication is also excellent;
2. In our opinion, the site is incomprehensible and difficult to navigate (compared to the sites of other providers). For example, it is not immediately clear that in the “Everything is Mine” line, almost all tariffs are customizable;
3. The option to exchange traffic for minutes or SMS and, conversely, is very cool - it makes the tariff more flexible and convenient.

Thus, the Beeline mobile operator has shown itself to be the most inventive, with a wide coverage area and impeccable communication.

Prices for calls to other countries

When calling to other countries, it is recommended to check the cost.

The highest prices are set for negotiations with a satellite communication system subscriber - 313 rubles. Tariffs for other channels are set taking into account the following distribution:

Subscriber reviews

“I chose “Basic” for my daughter (6 years old).
A convenient option for communicating with a child and accurately determining the location of a smartphone using a special application. Taking into account the limited number of calls in one region, monthly costs do not exceed 300 rubles. Later I will set a new tariff to optimize the use of the Internet.” Svetlana, 32 years old, Mozhaisk:

“I connected my grandmother to this plan to eliminate unnecessary costs and simplify the use of a mobile gadget by an elderly person. The Internet is not needed in this case, so I think the choice is the best. After 3 months of operation, I was convinced that I made the right decision.”

Sergey, 28 years old, Smolensk:

“Based on the results of using a smartphone over the past few years, I have become convinced that I do not need mobile Internet. I use home Wi-Fi to connect to the network. In such conditions, the best option for me is the “Basic” tariff. Minimum costs while fully working with calls and SMS messages.”

Evgeniy, 63 years old, Moscow:

Which tariff is more profitable: with or without a subscription fee?

Beneficial tariff plans are a relative concept, because each consumer has his own needs and wishes. All people use cellular communications with different intensity. But some nuances when choosing the best package are the same for everyone.

First of all, a mobile operator is important; it is advisable that family and friends have one, those people who need to call regularly and most often. In addition, everyone would like to receive an unlimited tariff for calls and SMS, preferably also the Internet. Typically, the best plans are those with a flat fee. But this is not always more profitable. What nuances need to be taken into account:

1. Quality of mobile communications. No one will be happy with a low or no board with floating sound and constant connection failures.
2. Internet quality. If access to the network is important for work or study, then it makes sense to pay more for traffic of decent quality.
3. Coating. Important for those who lead an active lifestyle and are constantly traveling.
4. Price. Since almost every operator today offers interesting packages with competitive rates to suit every taste, the deciding factor in the choice is often the cost of the package.

Below are the most inexpensive and affordable offers from various operators with a fixed monthly fee, without it and unlimited.

You should pay attention to possible discounts when purchasing 2 packages at once or when switching to a new tariff from another operator.
