The cheapest mobile communications - Review of all tariffs


The “Home Internet + Digital TV + Mobile communications” tariff is a unique offer from the operator that many customers will want to take advantage of. This program includes all the basic services of the organization. Additionally, when connecting to it, subscribers receive a serious discount from the company.

Main line of tariffs

When choosing a tariff plan, it is important to consider which city the calls will be made from most often. For example, if a person buys a prepaid SIM card in St. Petersburg, but plans to use the phone in Moscow, the tariffs in the capital will be higher.

The cost of telephone calls depends on what region a person is in and where he is calling. The tariff for local calls, for example, in Moscow, is standard, but if you need to call from the capital to another city, the cost will increase by the minute. In general, cellular operators have standard tariffs.

To better understand the pricing packages of leading mobile phone companies, below is a comparison table with current packages.

MTS operator

MTS is the largest operator, serving about 78 million subscribers, which has licenses in 83 regions of the country. This operator-provider can also use roaming in Crimea.

4G/LTE coverage has reached all 83 regions of MTS presence. 55% is at 1800 MHz, the rest at 800 and 2600 MHz.

Unlike other operators, MTS blocks incoming calls from many VoIP networks, as they are considered illegal.

The “Red Energy” tariff from MTS does not have a subscription fee, it has simple and understandable conditions. “SMART” is one of the most favorable tariffs for those who make a lot of calls and often send SMS. “Super-MTS” is a popular tariff among those who communicate a lot within the network. This is also a tariff without a monthly fee.

"Red Energy""SMART""Super-MTS"
1.8 r/min - calls to all networks in your home region; 5.5 r/min - calls to mobile MTS of other regions;
8.8 r/min - calls to numbers of other operators in other regions;

0 r/month—subscription fee

250 minutes, 250 SMS
470 rub/month

5GB mobile internet

from 0 r/min - calls to MTS in your home region;
2.8 r/min - calls to numbers of other operators in your home region;

0 r/month — subscription fee.

Tariff prices are relevant for Moscow and Moscow Region.

Super MTS tariff is the best tariff plan subject to daily payment. This plan has very cheap mobile communications and internet. The main advantage of the tariff is unlimited outgoing calls to other MTS numbers in the same region per day and to most city numbers in Moscow. Calls within the country are made at an additional cost.

Another benefit of this plan is that you are allowed to add the All Super+ option. It is activated automatically and gives up to 3 GB per month with a daily fee of RUB 9.40. If it is not activated, you need to dial *111*259#.

The MTS Smart smartphone series offers monthly combo plans including calls, SMS and data. For many users, this is the cheapest mobile connection in Moscow.

The big advantage of these plans is their availability (including with roaming in Crimea). All Smart tariff plans include unlimited calls to other MTS Russia numbers.

Unlimited number of social networks in tariff plans X and Tariff includes the use of:

And also Snapchat, YouTube, MTS Music, Apple Music, Google Music, App Store, Google Play, MTS Connect and some games.

The monthly fee is deducted from your account balance at the time the plan is activated. The next debit will occur exactly 30 days after the activation date. If the account is insufficient for the next monthly fee, all services (voice and data) will be temporarily suspended. To unlock, you will need to top up your account.

What users say

As usual, there are a lot of dissatisfied subscribers on the network, for whom MTS turned out to be not at all cheap, as the reviews say. The analysis showed that the biggest problem is withdrawing money without the client’s knowledge:

  • paid subscriptions;
  • self-connected services;
  • auto-renewal (Beeline also suffers from this, you need to be careful);
  • using the Internet on a disconnected (!!!) phone.

Among the advantages, MTS users note good call quality and large coverage.

In conclusion, I would like to wish all subscribers utmost care, since the main goal of any operator is to get more money, hence numerous tricks are born.

Operator Beeline

Beeline is a national operator operating in 78 regions and serving about 58 million subscribers. It is popular for calls to CIS countries and offers tariffs at lower prices.

Beeline is present in almost all regions of the country, its 4G coverage is concentrated in populated areas, but is still limited in rural areas. 4G/LTE coverage is available in almost all cities.

Price (in rubles) per month6505502000

Beeline has high-speed 3G internet almost everywhere in the country, including the countryside between Moscow and St. Petersburg and Lake Baikal + Olkhon Island, which is ideal for traveling to remote areas and traveling by train. However, currently the Beeline 2G network has noticeably lost quality. There are some issues with voice call clarity and data speeds. The problems are related to signal strength and coverage. However, this operator has good tariffs for international calls, especially to the CIS countries, where Beeline has its own and partner networks.

Like other operators, Beeline has monthly combined plans with included rates for voice calls, SMS and Internet, valid throughout Russia.

Messengers are unlimited, these include WhatsApp, Viber, ICQ, Skype, Google, Snapchat (including voice and video calls). Movies, Music and Cloud are the operator's special offers for streaming video and audio and 10 GB of cloud space.

When data is exhausted, a very high auto-renewal rate is charged. So we recommend choosing a volume sufficient for you initially.

The carrier offers an option that allows users to share the included data allowance in combo plans with other carrier users in the same region.

Operator MegaFon

MegaFon (mainly owned by the Russian USM Holding and Gazprombank) is one of the three largest Russian mobile operators. Many users consider MegaFon to be the best operator in the country due to its nationwide distribution and high Internet speed.

MegaFon was the first to launch 3G networks (at 2100 and 900 MHz) and 4G / LTE in the country. This is the only network that is available in all regions of the country. 4G/LTE primarily operates on the 2600 MHz frequency (B7) and covers all 83 regions.

Other operators

Certain mobile operators provide preferential packages at affordable prices, operating outside the main Russian mobile networks. Yota, for example, is considered a subsidiary of MegaFon and a major player in the MVNO market.

The operator's main idea is completely unlimited data traffic, but with some restrictions in other areas, for example, blocked P2P networks. Despite the fact that the network is the same as MegaFon, the user may not have access to LTE in some regions where Yota SIM cards are not sold, unlike MegaFon subscribers.

Tariff "Basic"Tariff “Basic Megabyte”Tariff “Per-second”
Calls to Operator numbers throughout Russia – 2.7 rubles. in a minute. Calls outside the home region – 2.7 rubles. in a minute.
Calls within the Home region – 2.7 rubles. in a minute.

SMS/MMS to Russian numbers – 3.9 rubles.

Mobile Internet – 9.9 rubles per 1 MB.
Same with “Basic”.
Calls to Russian numbers – 0.1 rub.
in a second. SMS/MMS to Russian numbers – 3.9 rubles.

Yota became the first operator in the country to provide fixed prices for all regions. But still, the operator charges different prices depending on where the SIM card is purchased. The operator is targeting residents of large cities who use smartphones, tablets or modems.

The cheapest mobile connection in Russia without the Internet is from Yota.

Anyone can calculate their tariff plan independently on the website using the constructor.

Yota also provides a special plan for use with a modem or router. It has completely unlimited data. This solution is LTE (4G) only, no voice capabilities, internet only.

However, if the SIM card is not used in a smartphone (for example, in a router, modem or tablet), the speed will be reduced to 64 Kbps. If a smartphone is used as an access point for a modem, the speed is limited to 128 Kbps; this limitation can be removed for 2 hours for 90₽ or for 24 hours for 190₽. When using file-sharing networks, the speed is reduced to 32 Kbps. Often the operator does not warn its users about this.

Some regions also have local operators, such as Motiv in Yekaterinburg, Kurgan, Ugra and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tattelecom in Tartastan or Vainakh Telecom in the Chechen Republic.

Tinkoff Mobile started as one of the first virtual operators in 2021 of Tinkoff Bank. The operator operates in the Tele2 network. SIM cards are sold throughout the country, as the company has opened stores in large shopping centers. From 2021 they also offer eSIM, but are currently only available to Tinkoff card holders.

The operator offers to try mobile services completely free for a week!

Tinkoff Mobile offers attractive offers for new subscribers. On the official website you can calculate an individual tariff plan.

Compare tariffs and choose the most profitable one

The most common and largest mobile operators in Russia are Mobile TeleSystems (MTS), MegaFon, Beeline and Tele2Russia (owned by the state provider Rostelecom). Services and prices are competitive in major cities but vary by region.

It's time to sum up the results and decide on the winner. The cheapest mobile communication tariff from MTS is “Tariffishche”. For the first 6 months, new subscribers will be able to pay 585 rubles for the entire package of services, and later - 600 rubles. Megafon offers this package of services the most expensive - 1000₽ for 30 days.
