Why do they raise prices?
Calls to Uzbekistan are one of the most popular directions of international calls among subscribers of Russian operators. This is especially true for large cities where a large number of people from different republics of the former Soviet Union work. But if a couple of years ago it was possible to observe how tariffs for calls to Uzbekistan were decreasing on Beeline, MTS, and MegaFon, then in the current situation the opposite is true.
The reason does not lie in the desire of our operators to earn more money, since the increase in tariffs in this case is associated with a number of factors. A massive increase in prices in this direction took place in the fall of 2021. It was then that there was a sharp increase in communication tariffs (cellular and landline) in Uzbekistan itself. Both domestic and international services have become more expensive. This in turn caused an increase in the cost of access for Russian operators to make calls to the country.
The most favorable rates for calls to Russia are offered by Russian operators providing services in Uzbekistan, which have the opportunity to subsidize their cost. However, even if you look at their offers, the cost per minute is much higher than calling from Russia.
Just look at how much it costs to call from Beeline in Uzbekistan to Russian numbers. According to the current exchange rate, calls from Uzbekistan to Moscow, or any other city, are not cheap - about nine rubles. Therefore, if you need to stay in touch with family and friends, then it is more profitable to make calls from Russian numbers.
