The mobile operator Yota, which provides optimal mobile communication tariffs for Moscow residents, has several advantages over other cellular operators. This operator was especially popular among young people, because it provided inexpensive tariffs for mobile Internet.
But in 2021, the operator abandoned unlimited for a number of reasons:
- The average volume downloaded by one user during the company's existence was only 5 GB;
- Refusal from full unlimited Internet allowed us to reduce the cost of subscriber fees.
To set up tariffs, this mobile operator using the Megafon network provides a convenient mobile application. With its help, any user can always change the terms of the tariff to more favorable ones.
True, after the last update of the application, there were a lot of people who were disappointed with the innovations and a large number of changes. But let's hope that all the shortcomings will be eliminated in the future.
What other advantages of Yota in Moscow can please subscribers of this operator? Let's figure it out.
Current tariffs for smartphones
For a long time, the minimum tariffs of the mobile operator Yota for smartphones included a package of minutes and mobile traffic. But starting in 2021, the operator has created a unique offer. Now you can build a tariff that will include 0 minutes and 1 GB of traffic, and you will only pay for SMS or unlimited social networks. For example:
- unlimited messages for 50 rubles;
- listening to music through popular online services (Ya.Muzyka, Google Play Music, Apple Music, Zvooq and SoundCloud) without restrictions for 40 rubles per month or watching YouTube for 60 rubles;
- social networks for 20-25 rubles per month;
- messengers for 15 rubles.
Please note that absolutely all tariff parameters are customizable: you can increase or decrease the number of minutes and Internet at your own discretion or add additional options. As you change some items, the cost of the offer will change.
Yota tariff plans depend on a number of factors:
- connection region
- volume of minutes and internet
- availability of additional services
Yota coverage area in Sochi
When choosing a particular mobile operator, subscribers strive to obtain maximum information about its coverage area. In this case, Sochi can boast of broadcasting in the 4G standard. It should be noted that in the Krasnodar Territory this technology is presented in a limited number of settlements - in some only test broadcasting is carried out. Yota in Sochi operates in all three standards - 2G, 3G and 4G. High-speed Internet is supported in the last two types of networks, delighting Sochi residents with quite impressive coverage.
There is a 4G signal not only in Sochi, but also in Adler, Lazarevsky, Khosta, Loo and other settlements. 3G coverage is available even in mountainous areas, not to mention 2G broadcasting . All this looks good on the Yota coverage map, but in fact the situation may be completely opposite to what is seen. The fact is that the coverage area map is modeled based on computer calculations and does not correspond well to reality. Having seen the presence of a network at a certain point on it, it is impossible to say with 100% certainty that it will actually be there. It may also happen that the signal will be very weak.
Tariff plans for tablet
Tablet options have also changed recently. If previously there was only one offer - unlimited mobile Internet Yota, which was provided throughout Russia! All you have to do is decide how long you need access to the World Wide Web:
- day
- month
Now the operator offers, in addition to mobile traffic (in the amount of 1, 7, 15, 30 or 50 GB), to add 500 minutes for communication to your tariff plan. Thus, connecting your tablet to the network will cost from 250 to 730 rubles per month. And no daily or annual offers. Only standard additional unlimited services (SMS, music, video, social networks or instant messengers).
By the way. The cost of services largely depends on the region of connection. However, if you want to connect to a communication service in a region where it is cheaper, and use it where the cost of Internet on a tablet is much higher, then you will not succeed. Standard package conditions only apply to trips of less than 30 days. Then the roaming offer is activated.
ROAMING
Using yota mobile communications, you don’t have to worry about roaming. If you connect to the network in the city of Sochi, then when traveling around Russia you can completely forget about such a thing as roaming. The cost of services will not change in any way.
If you are going to another country, then the tariffs and cost of services can be clarified below:

Tariff plans for computer
Eta tariff plans for PC are divided by validity period:
- for 24/72 hours
- for 30 days
Interestingly, the operator proposes to regulate not the number of gigabytes, like other operators, but the speed of home Internet: the higher it is, the higher the price.
The current tariff of the Yota operator for Moscow, for example, offers access at speeds from 640 kbit/s for 450 rubles per month to maximum speed for 1,400 rubles.
Internet tariffs from “Iota”
Subscribers can access the Internet from Yota by purchasing a SIM card for a tablet, a modem or a router for a home computer or laptop. For tablets, Yota offers three tariffs with completely unlimited traffic: “Day”, “Month”, “Year”.
The user selects an access period and pays 50 rubles (24 hours), 590 rubles (30 days), 4500 rubles (365 days). At these tariffs, the operator provides Internet without traffic restrictions, at maximum speed, without changing the cost of travel.
For routers and modems, you can buy access for 2 hours, 24 hours, a month or a year. In all cases, the subscriber will receive Internet without traffic restrictions. The cost depends on the selected connection speed, which can be changed as often as necessary - the subscription fee will be recalculated automatically.
Pros and cons of the proposal
Now let's move on to the most important thing. What is the “trick” of the mobile operator Yota and its current tariffs in particular. Among the obvious advantages it is worth noting:
- wide coverage area;
- the ability to customize all possible options up to the number of minutes, GB of Internet and SMS;
- the ability to order a SIM card with home delivery;
The disadvantages mainly come down to 3 points:
- You won't be able to talk to the operator by voice. All communication comes down to chat in the application or on the website.
- frequent malfunctions.
- The benefits of Yota's tariffs in comparison with other mobile operators often turn out to be a myth. So, for example, if you want to get 500 minutes of talk time, 40 GB of Internet traffic and 50 SMS, then on TELE2 you will pay 500 rubles (in Moscow), and on ET - 538.78. Only TELE2 includes 4 messengers, 5 social networks and television from Wink in the same money.
As you can see, the current tariff plans from Yota are very different from the offers of other operators. But like their competitors, they have their pros and cons, which can significantly influence the opinion of subscribers.

Advantages of tariff plans of the mobile operator Yota
This is a relatively young but promising operator. Until recently, he used Megafon’s networks, but gradually began to switch to his own capacities. The main advantages of the fifth federal cellular operator are:
- Unlimited Internet. When this operator first entered the Russian market, it was the first to offer 100% unlimited Internet. And it made a lot of noise. It is thanks to this that the famous MTS “Unlimited” tariff and its analogues from other Big Three operators appeared. With this benefit, you can watch movies online without the fear that your package will end before the calendar month. As often happens with other operators.
- No roaming. If you often travel around Russia, then this Yota advantage will be the main one for you to switch to this operator. You don't need to enable additional options for this. And thanks to Megafon’s networks, the quality of Yota’s work in any region of Russia is always at its best.
- Possibility to customize the tariff for yourself. Depending on the intensity of use of cellular communications or mobile Internet, you can easily select the most optimal tariff for yourself. Using the “Tariff Builder” on the website and mobile application of this operator, this is very easy to do.
Yota is a new generation mobile operator. It is suitable for those who cannot live without mobile Internet, travelers who do not want to overpay for mobile communications, and simply all people who keep up with new technologies. Yota is an excellent alternative for those who are disappointed by one of the popular telecom operators. In Moscow, thousands of subscribers have already chosen this operator.
How to improve signal reception
Strengthening the Yota 4G signal in Sochi is a pressing problem. If in a flat area the signal propagates quite far and relatively evenly, then in mountainous and hilly areas there are points where the reception will be weak. The problem is solved in the following ways:
- Forcibly transferring the mobile phone to work on the 3G network - there the signal may be stronger, which increases the Internet speed;
- Using indoor antennas - they are sold in communication stores and are passive signal reflectors that work in the manner of satellite dishes. They are intended for modems and wireless routers ;
- Using satellite antennas - a modem or router is mounted in focus, after which the antenna is directed towards the Yota base station (or simply towards open areas, which will allow the reflected signal to be received).
The speed of loading pages is also affected by the state of the computer/laptop. Completely clean the operating system of debris and incorrect registry keys, and remove unused software. Reboot and try connecting again. It is also recommended to check the software for automatic updates - perhaps the low speed is due to the channel load.
The CCleaner application, distributed as a shareware, will help you perform a comprehensive cleaning of the operating system.
Functional
The Eta Money payment system is a special platform designed to perform the following tasks:

How and where to download the application
There are many questions about how to download Iota Money, and whether it can be done. At the time of writing this review, there is no separate application available. This is not necessary, because you can download the program to Google Play for Android. There is also similar software for iPhones, which can be downloaded from the Apple Store.
This is not the Yota Money application, but it provides no less opportunities:
- setting up a tariff and viewing how much time is left;
- selection of roaming conditions;
- viewing the balance and current tariff;
- change the tariff plan;
- write to support at any time;
- replenish your account and solve other problems.
Perhaps in the future it will be possible to download Eta Money, but for now there is no need for this. The main application performs basic functions and allows you to carry out the necessary range of operations.
