Tinkoff Mobile tariffs for individuals and legal entities

Following the lead of the country's main bank, Tinkoff recently introduced its product to the cellular communications market. The virtual mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile offers potential and current clients (cardholders) favorable conditions for receiving cellular services through cashback and various promotions.

The operator’s convenient tariffs allow you to individually customize Internet, call and message packages and completely eliminate unnecessary options, which sets Tinkoff Mobile apart from its competitors.

Rates

Despite the fact that the stability of communication depends on the region, it should be noted that Tinkoff is the only operator that does not impose additional services. Tinkoff Mobile tariffs by region for individuals:

When ordering, the SIM card is “naked”, that is, after signing the documents and activating it, the user independently sets limits for himself in the mobile application. You can activate unlimited SMS or Internet, but not buy minutes, for example, if a person communicates through social networks and other instant messengers.

Corporate clients are offered the same tariffs, and if you enter into a special agreement for a large number of SIM cards, a promotion may be offered. The call center will provide details on this issue.

The current tariffs are stated above, which Tinkoff does not intend to change in the near future. This company has no concept of roaming in Russia, which will please many potential subscribers. Exception: Crimea and Sevastopol. Additional products:

1. Option “Modem mode”, which will cost only 499 rubles monthly. It is allowed to distribute the Internet to other devices without activating the option up to 500 MB.
2. Unlimited on messengers even with small package sizes – 59 rubles/month. (In St. Petersburg the tariff has been reduced to 39 rubles). List of instant messengers: WhatsApp, Viber, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, IMO.IM and Tam Tam.
3. Unlimited on social networks for 59 rubles/month. List of platforms: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, IGTV, 4pda and Tinder.

If a person suddenly runs out of Internet or minutes, he does not go into the red, and communication is provided at more expensive rates. To stay in touch, you can connect additional packages: 100 minutes or 1 GB for 99 rubles.

If you choose a large megabyte package, then additional services become available to the user for just 1 ruble per month: unlimited social networks, instant messengers. Gigabytes are not debited when watching videos or listening to audio tracks. You can also activate unlimited via SMS for 49 rubles directly in the application.

Internet abroad

The low cost of roaming services compared to competitors is a big advantage of the Tinkoff mobile operator, which is appreciated by subscribers who spend a lot of time abroad.

Which operator does Tinkoff Mobile operate on?

The cellular communications of this operator operate on Onelink technology, which does not require advertising, but not everyone knows whose network it is. Tinkoff cooperates with Tele2, so the network is distributed through the towers of this company. If there is no Tele2 network somewhere, the subscriber automatically connects to MegaFon and uses cellular communications without any additional payments.

Call transcription service

Since relatively recently, Tinkoff Mobile began to offer a unique service of its kind - to transcribe and record all telephone calls that were made through this operator.

Thanks to this, through the mobile application you can save all calls - in audio and even text formats.

Once the service is activated through the application, all calls made will begin to be recorded automatically. The transcript is available for listening through the application, or for reading through the messenger.

Calls are recorded and transcribed using the company's internal developments - Tinkoff Voice Kit.

In addition to regular listening, you can navigate through the audio recording - as in a regular player, selecting only certain time periods of the call for listening or text transcription. Saved chunks or entire parts of calls and their transcripts can be sent via instant messengers, email, etc.

Information about calls is stored for six months, after which they are permanently deleted.

How to top up your balance

Replenishment can be carried out in the application or through third-party resources: terminals, ATMs, banking services. In order to top up your account inside Tinkoff Mobile, you need to link a card or online wallet. Further algorithm of actions:

1. Open service.
2. Select the balance icon.
3. Enter the amount.
4. Select the method from which the replenishment will be made.
5. Enter payment system data (card number).

A unique code will be sent to your phone, which will give permission to bind the plastic. This procedure is carried out once. It will only have to be repeated if the plastic data changes.

Mobile app

It is unlikely that a mobile company can be considered confidently standing on its own feet if it does not have its own mobile application. Of course, the operator Tinkoff Mobile has it.

The application is downloaded completely free of charge for both Apple devices and Android devices.

What you can conveniently do in this application:

• monitor your expenses using several numbers at once and top up your account;
• choose a beautiful number or connect another one - virtual;
• set up call and traffic conditions in roaming so as not to worry about communication costs when traveling, especially international ones;
• ask for help via chat, even if there is no Internet connection.

The program is very easy to learn and has a visually pleasing design.

Coverage area

The coverage area covers almost all regions in Russia in the range from 2G to 4G. Communication may be unstable in remote areas of the Russian Federation. Exact data for a specific locality can be seen on the map in Tinkoff Mobile, in the “coverage area” section. On the page you enter the name of the city or village and visually see where 2G, 3G, 4G works.

Minuses

Now to the cons:

• The SIM card only needs to be inserted into the main slot if you have a dual-SIM device. In short, the Tinkoff Mobile SIM card should be the main one on your device. This is not always convenient.
• Limited functionality. For example, some subscribers leave reviews that it is impossible to activate the auto-dial or answering machine function. Although the mobile application notes that these functions are available. Maybe it's already fixed.
• Lack of TM website. All actions can be done only from the application. Accordingly, if you don’t have money for mobile Internet, then topping up your account is problematic – there’s no way through the app.
• There are no short commands to manage the number and account, like Sberbank. It’s simple - I sent the required amount to number 900 - and the money dropped. Here you need either a third-party application or Tinkoff.
• Coverage does not work everywhere, the Internet is not always stable - but these are more questions for Tele2, on the basis of which Tinkoff Mobile operates.

In any case, the operator is still in the development stage. Tinkoff always does this - first they release a product, then they look at what goes wrong and improve it. In principle, the right way.

Choosing a beautiful room

This process is carried out directly on the website when a person submits an application to purchase a SIM card. You can choose a free digital value or order an interesting combination of numbers. Example:

You can come up with your own combination, and if it is free, the system will assign this number to the future subscriber.

Frequent user mistakes

It is important to understand that all outgoing calls to numbers of other subscribers are free and unlimited. Incoming calls do not consume minute packages. Things to remember:

1. If you do not set limits, then a minute of mobile communication costs 2.90 rubles, regardless of where in Russia the call is made, even if it is a local PBX number.
2. The price for an SMS message is 2.90 rubles, if you do not activate the package.
3. Information on tariffs is relevant for any region of the Russian Federation, except: the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

When ordering a SIM card, the user can independently assemble a cellular communication package for himself, like a construction set.
