Let’s figure out which of the current tariff plans to choose so as not to overpay together with the correspondent of the Minsk-News agency».
New Year is a great reason to change something in your life. For example, a mobile communication tariff plan that has long gone into the archives. Or maybe a cellular operator. There is not always time or desire to understand all the intricacies of tariff lines. Therefore, our guide will come in handy. But first, here are a few basic rules by which it was compiled.
Firstly , we compare tariffs at full price, without taking into account temporary discounts during various promotions. All promotional offers end sooner or later, and the tariff will remain with you as is, without embellishment in the form of a discount on the monthly fee. Unless, of course, you like to carry your number from one operator to another in an effort to always participate in some kind of promotion for “new subscribers”.
Secondly , we do not consider in detail various combinations of additional services, thanks to which the content of the tariff plan can be expanded and, accordingly, its cost can be increased.
Thirdly , special tariffs have been taken out of the equation, to which only certain categories of citizens can subscribe under special conditions (pensioners, disabled people, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, youth under 26 years old, etc.). Perhaps this is worth devoting a separate article to.
For convenience, we divided the tariffs into several conditional groups: cheap (up to 10 rubles), also affordable (within 15 rubles), expensive (20–30 rubles), expensive (about 40 rubles), who uses it at all (over 50 rubles ).
On options marked with an asterisk ( * ), minutes/traffic not used before the end of the month are accumulated without additional charge.
