The mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile somehow quickly burst into the mobile communications market, although it seemed like there were already tons of offers! :) So, what does the company hope for, does it have a future. And the main question is: is it worth moving to a new level of cellular communications with Tinkoff Mobile? All these questions (and not only them) will be raised, and we hope that they will be closed here, on the pages of INFOZET.RU.
To cover everything about the mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile, you need to consider a full review. However, if you don’t have time for everything, you can simply select the menu item you are interested in and take what you need specifically.
Mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile: the beginning
The operator Tinkoff Mobile, just like Tinkoff Bank, positions itself as a virtual representative of its .
The company intended to surprise everyone when it launched in 2021. And even then, almost immediately, rumors began to spread that this connection would be used not only in large cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg, but that popularity would immediately go straight to smaller cities and villages (regions).
Initially, courier delivery of SIM cards was established (by the way, it was delivered along with the ejector), and it was also possible to obtain a SIM card in more than 200 Svyaznoy cellular communication stores. The company continues to periodically make presentations in large shopping centers, arranging its cozy consumer corners with an air of minimalism. (You could see the same “stands” again, in the same Svyaznoy cellular communication stores).
Today, basically the entire calculation is based on the fact that the SIM card is delivered to the client, and there is no need to go anywhere. Many people find this convenient and simple.
How to order a SIM card with a beautiful number
You can also order a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card with a beautiful number. To do this, when registering for a card, go to the “Beautiful Numbers” tab and select the appropriate number. There are free options, for 490 rubles, 990 and even 24,900. Well, they are absolutely beautiful. For example, 500 01 01 or 118 00 00.
Each region has its own beautiful numbers. Just start typing and the list will appear.
Important: this service is available only in several regions - capital cities and some cities with a population of over a million.
By the way, when a subscriber chooses a beautiful number, Tinkoff Mobile will double the amount deposited into the balance - but not more than 3,000 rubles. Also a plus.

Competitors of the mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile
Tinkoff Mobile's main competitor is (and has always been in terms of MNVO) SBER Mobile. Most likely, they will “divide” clients among themselves and fight for them. It would be nice if there were even more competitors, but the main ones are SBER. And this is also not bad in terms of the competitive environment. After all, even when there is a slight confrontation, only the client will benefit from this: both in price and in the quality of services.
We can also mention the Rostelecom company. However, as mentioned earlier, it is unlikely to provide significant competition.
Little of. There were other companies, and they are also present on the market. But due to the lack of aggressive advertising, almost no one knows them.
Take Virgin Connect, for example. Almost no one knows her. And this is a double-edged sword. The American company (whose owner is a large billionaire) does not yet want to invest large sums of money to develop its business in this region (Russia). On the one hand, the market is too small for the company, and on the other hand, everyone is saying that the market of mobile operators in the Russian Federation is already oversaturated. But, time will tell.
Which operator does Tinkoff Mobile operate on?
As a virtual mobile operator (MNVO), Tinkoff Mobile is structured and operates on the basis of Tele2 (although Tele 2 is only the main brand, and the networks are located at T2 RTK holding).
This does not play a special role when using the product's functions, but it does matter when considering mobile coverage. Accordingly, service from Tinkov + provision of the zone itself from Tele 2 = pretty good quality overall (if you take convenience, service, solution to force majeure circumstances, and of course the connection itself and its quality).
Mobile app
Tinkoff has its own mobile application. Available for both Android and iOS versions.
Download mobile application:
- For Android - Play Market
- For iOS - App Store
The mobile application from Tinkoff Mobile is quite convenient. There is a similarity with a banking application, and many consider this a plus rather than a minus, since it doesn’t take much time to get used to the new interface.
All you need to do is order a free SIM card for yourself. Then install their application and connect. It's quite simple.
