Operator advantages and disadvantages
SberMobile appeared on the operator market relatively recently, but for a long time it has managed to receive both positive and negative feedback from its customers.
The main advantages of the new cellular operator are:
- Availability of “social” tariffs. For 200 rubles. per month you can connect 150 min. calls throughout Russia, i.e. daily 5 min. 3 GB Internet. This is less than the leading mobile operators.
- No roaming within the Russian Federation.
- There is integration with other Sberbank services.
- Cellular users are bank clients, so they can use the “Thank you from Sberbank” loyalty program and pay for communication services with accumulated bonuses.
- There is a cashback service.
- The operator interacts with all leading mobile operators.
Flaws:
- Presence of technical glitches.
- There is no tariff that does not provide Internet traffic; the minimum must be paid for 3GB of Internet, regardless of whether the user needs it or not.
- If the traffic is not fully used in the current month, it is impossible to transfer it to the next month; paid minutes and Internet “burn out.”
- To use the service, you need a mobile device with 3G or 4G, which not all Sberbank clients have.
- Low quality of technical support service. You can wait 10 minutes or more to connect with an operator.
Description of the official smartphone application
At the beginning of the project’s launch, the application for mobile gadgets was called “Let’s Talk.” The current name is SberMobile. It is downloaded from the AppStore and Google Play, according to the type of phone operating system.
From the application, users top up their balance, change tariff plans, and configure different services. Using the option to control connected services, they are disabled if necessary or new ones are activated. Subscribers can freeze a number if they are temporarily not using it.
The application developers have provided loyalty programs available from the mobile application:
- cashback for online purchases in the form of a refund of part of the funds to your mobile account;
- “Thank you” bonuses accumulated when paying for SberMobile with a Sberbank card: they are credited to the account in the form of 20 or 30% of the payment amount.
The advantage of the application is that it can be used for making calls using Wi-Fi. This eliminates the problem of subscriber availability in the absence of network coverage.
Why does my balance show zero after payment?
Another unexpected situation may leave you bewildered. You topped up your account, decided to check it, but there were no funds in it. There could be explanations like this:
If the transfer has not been credited to your account after an hour, check to see if all the data has been entered correctly. Information can be found on the receipt. If you find an error, please contact us via the feedback form or the operator’s mobile application, reporting an erroneous payment.
If you top up your balance a month after the last payment for services was debited, then as soon as the funds are received, they will immediately be debited to the next month’s account. So the balance will show 0 rubles. At the same time, communication services will be provided in full during the month, because they have already been paid.
