If you need corporate offers, then see the description “Bright Business Beeline”.

Service capabilities

The unique tariff can be used for standard mobile communication tasks, but it is designed specifically for smart technology. For calls and mobile Internet, it is better to use special MGTS tariffs or package offers.

The “smart gadget” adapts to a specific system and to the device in which the operator’s SIM card is installed:

• smart watch;
• security alarm;
• automatic doors and light bulbs;
• “Smart Home” control module;
• microclimate system;
• CCTV;
• fitness bracelets, etc.

Main advantages of the service:

• universal tariff for any smart gadgets;
• relatively low cost (due to the absence of unnecessary options);
• operates throughout Russia.

Flaws:

• limited traffic;
• activation of additional packages with default traffic (the subscriber will have to independently disable the service).

The tariff is valid throughout the country, but is available for connection only in Moscow and the Moscow region. Activation is possible if you have connected fixed services from MGTS, for example, home Internet or digital TV.

Children's watch

Important factors that you should pay attention to when choosing this tariff plan for an item purchased for a child:

• Excellent speed and stable coverage. The operator claims that it is building the network the fastest and adding 20% ​​of base stations per year;
• Inability to activate paid offers. All subscriptions are closed for connection - no need to worry about unauthorized debiting of funds;
• Low cost. You could see for yourself that the operator offers a low price for a large package of services.

We figured out how the Beeline tariff for smart watches for children works. It's time to talk about how to switch to using the Smart Things tariff.

We will tell you how to activate the Beeline Social package tariff and learn more about it in another article.

The best GSM sockets

Scope of delivery of SMS sockets

Senseit GS2 M

Senseit GS2 M
It’s not for nothing that the socket received first place in the rating. Users note that the device is very reliable and works without failures. The maximum rated power is 3.5 kW, but some users connected two infrared heaters with a power of 2 kW each to it and the outlet coped with this load without overheating or damage. In addition, Senseit GS2 M allows you to create a network of sockets that are controlled from a single SIM card via a radio channel. The main outlet supports the connection of up to 10 additional outlets, so you can take control of all household electrical appliances. Also, the Senseit GS2 M socket can connect and disconnect electrical appliances according to a given program or temperature sensor readings. Connecting electrical appliances using a temperature sensor allows you to increase the efficiency of heating systems. The average cost of one socket is 6.5 thousand rubles.

Telemetrics T4

The Telemetrics T4 socket provides load switching with a power of up to 3.5 kW. Connecting a more powerful load leads to overheating and damage to the device.

Telemetrics T4

The operation of the device does not cause any complaints from users. The socket can be controlled both through the Android application and using buttons on the case. The device supports operating mode according to a given program and can perform timer functions. The average cost is 6 thousand rubles.

SMS socket MegaFon GS1

MegaFon GS1
A good socket that works only in the network of the cellular operator Megafon. The power is 3.5 kW, but for a short time (up to 5 minutes) it can withstand a load of up to 4 kW. About 10% of users are dissatisfied with this device due to the SMS delivery time on the Megafon network being too long. Perhaps this problem exists only in some regions or appears only on counterfeit sockets. The socket switches electricity both through dialing or SMS, and according to a given program or timer. The average cost of the device is 4.5 thousand rubles.

ORCAM R2

A low-power socket (2 kW) with a lot of functions. Electricity switching is possible both via SMS and using buttons on the device body. It can also work according to a given program or perform a timer function. Whenever there is a change in the load connection status (on, off, there is or is no voltage in the network), it sends an SMS with a report. The average cost is 4800 rubles.

How does the “Smart Gadget” service work?

“Smart Home” from MGTS is a wireless intelligent system using mobile communications for data transmission. The SIM card is installed in the control center, which receives signals from sensors (smoke, leaks, movement, etc.), processes them and instantly sends messages to the user about flooding, illegal entry, fire and other dangerous situations.

One of the varieties of smart watches are models with a SIM card that can:

• call phones and other clocks;
• receive incoming calls;
• send SMS;
• read notifications;
• use mobile internet.

The device is popular among subscribers with children. If a child has this gadget, parents will always be able to track his location, as well as receive beacons from him if the phone is dead and there is no way to make a call. Using a smartwatch, you can set a safe zone and ensure that your child does not leave it.

Reviews

I chose this offer for my child - they connected him to a smart watch with GPS. It is enough to pay only one hundred rubles to track your baby’s movements, keep him under control and in touch at all times. Separately, I would like to highlight the ban on paid subscriptions - previously they were afraid that, out of stupidity, the son would connect unnecessary content. Overall I’m happy, the package is enough for a child.

This SIM card is in my alarm system. I chose it for its low cost and excellent capabilities - I don’t need minutes for communication, but SMS and the Internet are more than enough. I didn’t find any disadvantages in the “For Smart Things” TP.

I bought this SIM card for a tracker. You don’t need a lot of Internet for such things, so a small package is enough for rare connections. The price is especially pleasing - only one hundred rubles for uninterrupted communication!

Tariff “For smart things” Beeline is an ideal solution for the modern devices with which people surround themselves! Buy and you get a great deal. Read on to learn how to transfer gigabytes in 2 minutes.

More details about the tariff

For the technology to work properly, you need to have access to a mobile network and the Internet. For this purpose, MegaFon has created a profitable tariff plan.

Since the smart home device is not very demanding, it is not necessary to use powerful services; the tariff will be enough to perform the necessary tasks. If you need to take advantage of an expanded set of options, you can activate additional services that expand the volume of traffic or other services. The tariff itself has a small supply of package offers.

After purchasing and activating a tariff from MegaFon, the subscriber can control the equipment in an apartment or other premises using cameras and sensors. A mobile phone and applications installed on it are used for control. The operator is recommended to use “Smart Home”, “Life Control”.
