Danycom (Danicom) is a new Russian operator from the virtual category, that is, working on the infrastructure of other operators, with real base stations and equipment. In this case, Tele2 infrastructure is used to provide communication.
The operator began working in test mode on December 1, 2021, and official work began on June 1, 2021.
By 2021, the subscriber base numbered 120 thousand people in 25 regions of the country, and by the end of 2021 the operator plans to increase its presence to 69 regions and 600 thousand people. In addition, the operator’s holding plans to work in European countries - Estonia, Poland, Italy, Portugal, France, the Czech Republic, etc.
These are far-reaching plans, and now let’s see what the cellular operator Danycom can offer to Russian residents today.
Free plan Danycom
It is not so easy to win over part of the base from competitors from the Big Four, because the market has long been divided between MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Tele2. Therefore, Danycom started with a loud statement that you can get free communication from it. And indeed, one of the tariffs is called “Free”.
Every month you can get absolutely free:
- 30 minutes of calls to any numbers in Russia, including subscribers in Crimea and Sevastopol;
- 50 SMS to any operators in Russia, including Crimea and Sevastopol;
- 1 GB mobile internet;
- unlimited within the Danycom network;
- unlimited SMS to Danycom numbers.
After the package is exhausted, the prices of the mobile operator Danycom are also pleasingly cheap:
- outgoing calls - 3 kopecks/sec. (billing per second);
- outgoing SMS - 25 kopecks. each;
- mobile Internet - 8 kopecks. each megabyte, 1 G will cost 81.92 rubles;
- Unlimited calls and messaging within the network remain.
The cost of connecting to this tariff is 19 rubles, which are credited to the account and can be spent on paying for services.
There is an important condition - 1 SIM card is issued to one person per passport, so that there is no abuse of free services.
As you know, free cheese only comes in a mousetrap, so the Danycom operator must have some benefit in providing free communications. It consists of sending advertising messages from the company and partners on behalf of Danycominfo.
Thus, through free communication, the operator’s partners advertise their products and services. No more than 5 advertising SMS are received per day.
If the subscriber refuses to receive them, he will be transferred to the “Gelium” tariff plan, the cost of communication services for which is more expensive, but it will not be possible to switch back to “Free” so easily. To do this, you first need to “sit” on tariffs with a subscription fee, and only then make the transition to a free tariff.

Naturally, on the Internet you can find a variety of reviews about the cellular operator DANYCOM. Some users write that they are satisfied with the quality of the operator’s communication and the number of minutes, gigabytes and SMS that are included in the tariff plans. Other people express dissatisfaction with the fact that a limited number of SIM cards were produced, and there simply weren’t enough for everyone. Still others simply write that free use of cellular communications for six months is an outright scam of subscribers, and then this money will be written off from them anyway.
One way or another, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to use the services of the new cellular operator DANYCOM. If you are satisfied with your current telecom operator and you do not want to change it, this is also your full right. We have only provided some information about the new operator, and it should not be taken as advertising.
Other Danycom Mobile tariffs
So, we talked about the free plan. But the average subscriber spends several times more minutes and gigabytes of Internet per month, so it’s easier to connect to package tariffs with a subscription fee. That's what this operator has.
“Oxygen” - 10 GB of Internet, 300 minutes to all networks in Russia and 50 SMS for a subscription fee of only 199 rubles. per month. The connection cost is 200 rubles, which are credited to the account and spent on mobile communications.

“Helium” is a tariff without a monthly fee, only with payment for services upon use. Each second of calls costs 5 kopecks, each SMS costs 3 rubles, each megabyte of traffic costs 3 rubles.
All tariffs of this “gas” line include unlimited calls within the Danycom network and unlimited messaging within the network. At the same time, calls to Danycom do not initially consume a package of minutes, as is common with other operators.
Pros of all Danycom tariffs:
- uniform cost for calls at home and when traveling throughout Russia;
- low cost of calls to other countries;
- there are no hidden subscriptions or imposed services;
- unlimited calls and SMS within the Danikom network throughout Russia, which do not consume service packages according to the tariff.
What is the mobile operator Danikom?
The operator began its work in December 2021 and was a test project. From the first days of its operation, Danycom offered users low prices for cellular communications. There are no official representative offices of the operator throughout the country. You can receive a SIM card using a courier. Issuance is free of charge.
Today Danycom is a federal operator providing communication services using 2G/3G/4G technologies. The operator has an intranet unlimited limit. Owners of service packages can communicate within the network for free and without time restrictions.
The operator has its own billing, support service, a well-functioning website, switches and other necessary equipment.
In 2021, the operator introduced a completely updated line of tariff plans. Of the old tariffs, only one remained - “Free” and three new ones were added.
The conditions are common in most parts of the country. Per-second billing applies. By making calls and sending SMS to Danycom subscribers, traffic is not consumed.
Interestingly, you can only get one SIM card in one hand. This policy is aimed at preventing subscribers from trying to find benefits in practically free tariffs. If the user wishes to issue several cards in his name at once, the first one will remain at a convenient tariff, and the second and subsequent ones will be transferred to paid traffic, perhaps even to archived ones.
Why you should give preference to this telecom operator:
- The main assistant for frequent travel - when traveling around the country, you don’t have to worry about additional costs for mobile communications. Danycom does not have roaming.
- It is required to make calls to other regions. The operator has no restrictions regarding use within the country. This rule also applies to tariff plans with a small package of services. There is no need to change your SIM card when moving to another region. The operator erases any boundaries.
- Openness. Danycom completely denies any hidden subscriptions. That is why subscribers will never encounter them when using communication services.
- Variety of tariffs. Everyone chooses a package of services taking into account their lifestyle. If one subscriber is comfortable communicating within the provided traffic, and another wants to pay a subscription fee, the operator will offer the most profitable and convenient option.
A convenient assistant in terms of managing functions is the specially developed mobile application “My DANYCOM”. The service allows you to exchange unused packages, control expenses, order account details, top up your balance, etc.
The operator’s plans for 2021 are to gain a huge customer base, equivalent to one million. For 2021, Danycom plans to cover at least 69 regions of the country.
Danycom is practically the only service provider in the communications sector that is ready to offer high-quality telephone conversations, convenient Internet, and profitable packages of minutes (SMS) for a small fee, with current unlimited offers.
The advantage of cooperation is that subscribers do not lose minutes or SMS that were not spent in the past month. For convenience, the following is provided:
- transfer of remaining minutes, SMS, and Internet traffic to the next month;
- it is allowed to exchange one type of service for another - SMS for minutes and vice versa;
- you can share the remaining minutes, SMS or GB of Internet with other service users.
Compared to other cellular operators providing services across the country, Danycom cuts prices, making them several times lower than the market price. All this allows us to call the operator a discounter with the most favorable tariff plans.
Danycom coverage map
The offers of the new telecom operator are very tempting, so more and more people want to connect. And everyone is concerned about the coverage map, because it is known that Danycom does not work in all regions.
The operator's network provides 4G coverage in most regions of the west and southwest of Russia, with many base stations in the northwest. If you move to the east, there is communication in the Chelyabinsk, Orenburg, Omsk, Novosibirsk regions, Altai, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk.
The coverage map coincides with the Tele2 map, because the virtual “Danicom” runs on the Tele2 infrastructure.
How to connect to Danycom
To become a network subscriber, you need to leave a request on the operator’s official website, and he will deliver a SIM card to the selected city for free.
There are currently 34 large Russian cities on the list, but you can also write your city in the form if it is within the coverage area. You can also leave a request to switch to an operator with your old number using MNP technology. Over the past month, the number of such transitions, according to the official website, has increased by one and a half times, which coincided with the introduction of a free tariff. Subscribers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Krasnodar are most actively switching to the new telecom operator.
How can I transfer my number to Danik?
Subscribers of any operators can keep their old number - the phone will not stop working.
The procedure for switching to a virtual cellular operator by Danik is carried out in several stages:

Danycom Services
The operator has several convenient services that distinguish it from other mobile operators.
Traffic accumulation is the preservation of the remaining minutes and Internet from the previous period, which for other operators usually expires on the day of package renewal. So, on the “Oxygen” tariff you can accumulate up to 20 GB of traffic, on “Azot” - 60 GB, and on “Neon” up to 120 GB. The period for using the accumulated traffic is not limited.
“Share with friends” is a service that allows you to transfer part of an unused package in any direction, be it minutes, SMS or traffic, to the number of another Danycom subscriber. Translations are free.
Traffic exchange - the ability to change services according to your preference. If you need gigabytes more than SMS, the latter can be exchanged at the rate of 1 SMS = 1 MB, and in the opposite direction 3 MB = 1 SMS. Detailed exchange rates are listed on the operator’s official website.
