For Rostelecom, mobile communications is a relatively new service, but the operator already serves about a million subscribers throughout the country. And despite fierce competition, the mobile operator continues to gain popularity. With what it can be connected?
For Rostelecom subscribers, mobile communications are, first of all, tariffs that are pleasing with the price tag. But good coverage, competent support service and a Unified personal account also play a significant role. In addition, the provider offers its own bonus program, thanks to which you can significantly reduce your costs for services.
Connectivity technologies
Rostelecom in the Nizhny Novgorod region connects subscribers in the following ways - via optical lines, via telephone lines, via Wi-Fi. The highest speed is achieved by optics, up to 100 Mbit/sec. Moreover, this speed is available in both directions – for reception and return. Optical communication is characterized by stability and lack of influence of weather conditions. The disadvantage is the small geography of distribution, which is associated with difficulties in laying optical fiber.
A telephone line is a fairly reliable communication channel. But only if its characteristics are equal to or differ little from the reference ones. Breakdowns on the line and deterioration in performance lead to a decrease in speed and numerous breaks. The maximum access speed in the region using ADSL technology is 6 Mbit/s. Larger values are achieved using the “Night acceleration” option.
Wireless access via Wi-Fi allows you to connect to the Internet without any wires. For this purpose, hot spots with paid and free access are located throughout Nizhny Novgorod. The maximum speed is 6 Mbit/s. Free access points are installed in settlements with a population of no more than 500 people. To connect to them, you need to register in your personal account and configure the equipment.
How to apply and measure speed
Applications for connecting Rostelecom services in Nizhny Novgorod are accepted in three ways. The first method is through the operator’s website, by filling out an electronic application. The second method is in service offices. The third method is by calling Rostelecom technical support at 8-800-1000-800. To measure your Internet speed after connecting, use the Speedtest service or the operator’s internal service.
Reviews from Rostelecom subscribers indicate low access speeds and frequent interruptions. The problem lies in the fact that satisfied customers do not leave reviews. As for negative feedback, any providers have them - even the most reliable ones. Therefore, connect and don’t worry - all problems can be solved.

It is not possible to log in to your personal account using your personal account - go through the registration procedure, add personal accounts to the system and work with them, performing the necessary operations.
To pay for communication services, use your personal account. This is the most convenient way to make and distribute payments. Pay with bank cards, through Webmoney and Yandex.Money. Payment via the Internet with a bank card is possible without a personal account - on the official website of the operator. If the payment will be made through ATMs using the old details, you will need the region code for Internet payments - 52.

Reviews about the company as a mobile operator
Customer reviews depend on the region - in Moscow the signal quality does not always reach the “big three”, but in the Central and Southern branches, on the contrary, it is far ahead. 4G internet is not available in some regions, causing some customers to lower their ratings.
The general mood of the response also depends on the price tag - customers who connected through the promotion are more friendly. Oddly enough, most often in reviews clients mention the possibility of free calls on local Rostelecom calls, what does this mean? The cost of calls to landline numbers from other operators is still very high, and Rostelecom remains the leader in this segment.
Fortunately for those who are interested in the mobile operator Rostelecom, tariffs for mobile SIM cards are not updated as often as, for example, in the segment of Internet or television tariffs. However, the offers that are now available are very attractive compared to competitors and are worthy of your attention. Whether you choose them or not, we don't know! And we leave the right of choice to you.

What does the mobile operator offer?
Two main questions that interest any subscriber:
- How much will you have to pay?
- Where does the network catch?
As for coverage, it’s not difficult to figure it out - the company uses Tele2 base stations, which means mobile coverage areas will completely coincide.
The cost of services is also at the level of competitors, but largely depends on the region. In 2021, the Rostelecom operator’s tariffs for mobile (cellular) communications pleased us with new offers, while our favorite tariff plans, including those for other services, are still open for connection. Maybe this means that now is the time to take a closer look at the operator’s mobile communications?
But today, to compete with the Big Three, federal coverage and an affordable price tag are not enough, so the company offers its clients the following:
- Package services RT - mobile communications when using other company services (home phone, Internet and/or television) allows subscribers to save a lot of money. The amount of savings depends greatly on the current conditions of the promotion; it can be 10-60% of the cost of an individual service.
- Promotions - the company regularly provides opportunities to save money: connection on preferential terms, attractive options and services.
- A single personal account is a service that unites all the company’s services, allowing you to centrally pay and configure tariffs, receive bonuses and interact with support.
- Rostelecom mobile communications for business is of interest to corporate clients. A reasonable price tag and professional support make this service popular.
So, what mobile tariffs can Rostelecom offer its subscribers? Let's take a look together!
Home phone tariffs
Landline telephone is characterized by inexpensive long distance and surprisingly clear voice communication. There are also plenty of unlimited options here, allowing you to chat as much as you need. Rostelecom has prepared seven tariff plans for subscribers from Nizhny Novgorod - four unlimited and three time-based tariffs. Let's consider unlimited:
- “Weekend” is a special offer for those who do not part with the telephone on Saturday and Sunday. Because these days the tariff has local unlimited. You can call around Nizhny Novgorod and chat with friends or relatives. On weekdays the tariff is 56 kopecks/min. The subscription fee is 268 rubles/month.
- “Unlimited” is a traditional tariff plan with a subscription fee of 450 rubles/month. The offer is designed for those who often call landline numbers within Nizhny Novgorod. Unlimited is valid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- “Unlimited Russia” is a unique tariff plan that offers unlimited access to all landline numbers throughout Russia. It is beneficial for those who often call other cities. The subscription fee is only 490 rubles/month. The same amount includes unlimited calls within the region, as well as 200 minutes to any Russian mobile phone.
- “Subscriber” – additional local unlimited. It is the same as “Unlimited”, but the subscription fee is 340 rubles/month. The tariff plan is valid for outdated analogue PBXs of Rostelecom.
Tariffs with a time-based payment system:
- “Time-based” – the offer does not include included minutes, the subscription fee is 185 rubles/month. Calls within Nizhny Novgorod cost 56 kopecks/min.
- “Combined 100” – subscribers are allocated a package of 100 minutes for local calls. Tariffing above the package is 68 kopecks/min. The monthly payment is 224 rubles.

Tariff "Sumersimka M" from Rostelecom
Just a few months ago, the company’s line of offers began with the “Super SIM card S” and “Super SIM card Free” tariffs. But times are changing and at the moment the basic tariff is “Super SIM card M”, which is where acquaintance with the operator’s TP begins. Let's try to figure out together what kind of offer this is and whether the company offers decent conditions.
Please note that the prices indicated in this article are largely indicative and indicative. Since the specific offer of the operator depends on your region.
When activating the Rostelecom “Supersimka M” tariff, a subscriber for 200 rubles per month will have the opportunity to use a package of minutes, SMS and traffic on 1 SIM card. Its composition is determined by the following parameters:
- 200 minutes for outgoing calls to Rostelecom landline and mobile numbers throughout Russia. To numbers of other operators or calls will cost 1.95 rubles per minute. All incoming calls within the Russian Federation will be free for the subscriber. As for communications in roaming, it all depends on the direction and is calculated from 30 to 69 rubles per minute for outgoing calls from a mobile phone and 399 rubles per minute if using satellite communications.
- 50 free SMS per month, provided you are within the country and 5.5 rubles per message in roaming. In this case, MMS will cost you 6.5 rubles.
- 2 GB mobile traffic. Do you use the Internet a lot and the month is not over yet, but the traffic has already come to an end? Take advantage of an additional package of 500 MB for 50 rubles. In total, you can use up to 5 such packages per month. If this amount is not enough for you, consider changing your tariff plan. As an option, consider connecting to the next TP from our block.
Tariff “Super SIM L”
For Rostelecom subscribers, the SuperSIMka L tariff is an intermediate option in terms of package configuration. Of course, you will pay more per month - 400 rubles per month. On the other hand, the composition of the package is significantly broader. Do you want to know? Then let's see:
- You will be able to talk almost 2 times more! After all, instead of 300 minutes, as in the previous tariff plan, you will receive 500 minutes of outgoing calls within the Rostelecom network. Calls in roaming will be charged the same as in the SuperSIMka M tariff plan.
- The same 50 free messages per month.
- And most importantly - mobile traffic. Remember, at the end of the description of the last package, we suggested you change your TP? So, the “Super SIM L” tariff from Rostelecom offers 15 GB of mobile Internet. On average, this amount is enough for 5 films in excellent quality.
Is it a lot or a little? Only you can judge. But if this offer is not suitable for you, do not rush to refuse the operator’s services. First, let's look at the following TP.
Tariff “Super SIM XXL”
Another godsend for Rostelecom clients is the Super SIM card XL tariff! This is the maximum package of offers for the company's subscribers. Let's consider the same plan as the previous tariff plan, what is the essence of the tariff plan?
The subscription fee for using the Super SIM card XL tariff is 700 rubles per month. For this money:
- You can talk non-stop for 800 minutes. After this, however, tariffs in excess of the package will be activated on the same conditions as the basic “M” tariff.
- The number of SMS messages also does not change (the same 50 per month).
- But the volume of mobile traffic increases up to 30 GB for each month of using the TP. And this is already quite a significant offer from the operator. Having 30 GB, you can not deny yourself the pleasure of communicating with friends on social networks, watching movies and listening to music. The Internet package will more than pay for it. And if that’s not enough, you can always use additional traffic.
We remind you that all tariffs in this line are archival. If you have previously used one of these tariffs from Rostelecom, you can use it with pleasure. Unfortunately, you will not be able to connect to these tariffs now.
We won’t judge how the tariff plans of the “SuperSIM” line suit you, because each of us has our own needs for mobile communications! But it seems to us that these are quite competitive offers from the company.

Mobile communications Rostelecom: a success story
Cellular communications Rostelecom began as several regional operators, which by 2005 were united under the Utel brand. Further, in 2012, a merger between Yutel and Rostelecom took place; the cellular operator then operated only at its own base stations.
Just two years later, one could read in the news feeds about the creation of a joint venture: the company (45%) merged its assets with Tele2 (55%). In 2021, an active advertising campaign for Rostelecom mobile communications began; It’s easy to guess which operator provided coverage – a joint venture with Tele2. This model of service provision is called a virtual operator, that is, base stations of another company are partially or fully used to provide mobile communications.
