Description of "Planet Zero" from Beeline - how to activate the service and tariff 0

Currently, this service has been archived, but if it is already connected, you can continue to use it.

We have already talked about the Beeline “My Planet” service, this time we will tell travel lovers about another one – no less profitable. If you like to discover new things on our planet and choose not the most popular destinations, but certainly no less interesting, then this will come in handy - the whole world without borders is with her! It may not be the best value for travel to popular destinations, but if you're heading to distant destinations, you'll be hard-pressed to find a replacement.

Beeline: description and connection

Earlier there was already an article about such a profitable service for travelers as Beeline “My Planet”, today we will talk about another, but no less profitable offer, which is called “Planet Zero” .
It is also suitable for anyone who loves to discover new paths and the most beautiful, although not the most popular, places on our planet. This is a great option to save on mobile calls. It is worth noting that for popular tourist routes this service will no longer be so profitable, but when going to distant, unexplored countries, connecting this service will be the most optimal solution. Planet Zero is a service from Beeline that makes it possible to significantly reduce the costs of outgoing and incoming calls.
At the same time, there is no standard subscription fee as such. However, you must pay a fee to use this option and such fee will be debited from your account on the day you redeem the offer. This means that if you have never made any calls or written or received any SMS messages in a day, then there will be no debits either. Naturally, the Planet Zero Beeline service will be available only after connecting it to your phone, and it will cost 25 rubles. And when returning home, you can disable the option.

Advantages and disadvantages of the “Zero without borders” option

The main advantage is the savings, because you are given 90 minutes for all calls per day! As a rule, this is enough for many people to call their loved ones on vacation. Every day 145 rubles will be debited from your balance, but for roaming this amount is quite acceptable.

There are also disadvantages: a limited list of countries. For example, Azerbaijan, where Russians go on vacation, will have to pay more for calls in this case. A huge drawback is that you will have to disable 0 without MTS borders on your phone yourself. If you forget to cancel the option in time, another 145 rubles will be deducted from your account per day.

MTS is ready to offer its customers many favorable tariffs and services. They allow you to stay in touch with loved ones in many countries. By paying 145 rubles, you can talk with family and friends on the phone for 1.5 hours a day! It is recommended to study MTS Internet abroad tariffs 2021, because this option does not provide free access to the network.

Connecting and disconnecting Beeline

In order to have access to the capabilities of this attractive option, you need to dial *110*331# . In addition, the connection can be made on the Beeline website. In particular, this can be done in your personal account or through the support service, where you can call from a Beeline number, while still in your country, to number 0611 .

It is worth emphasizing that at the moment it is not possible to connect to the service, as it is outdated.

For Russia

If you travel to cities within Russia, connecting will be an excellent solution. The pricing of the option is extremely simple:

Tariffs for Beeline

Planet Zero Beeline offers tariffing for calls and SMS in two directions (zones), namely:

by popular countries;
and other directions.

It is important to say that this offer will be most beneficial for those who are roaming and more often receive calls from friends and family than make them. Thus, Beeline’s planet zero option offers the following pricing:

in fact, the cost of the option is 60 rubles;
from 0 to 20 minutes incoming calls are free;
from 21 minutes the cost of a call is 10 rubles per minute"
An outgoing call costs 20 rubles per minute.”
the price for SMS is 7 rubles.

The beauty of this offer is that for just 60 rubles you can get as many as 20 minutes of completely free calls. If you were a subscriber talking at standard roaming rates, then he would pay as much as 69 rubles for just one minute of conversation on an incoming call. Outgoing calls are also significantly reduced in price to any direction. Which helps to significantly save your money in your account.

Thus, popular destinations include countries such as Ukraine, Greece, Egypt, Great Britain, Armenia, Germany, Azerbaijan, Polza, Turkey, the United States, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Spain, China, Italy, etc. The entire list of these countries can be found read on the Beeline website. This information can also be obtained from the operator.

It is also important that if the subscriber is located on the territory of the Russian Federation, then the Planet Zero Beeline service does not write off any money, and there are also no restrictions. It turns on automatically when you go abroad, and turns off when you arrive. Thus, it will be activated and disabled until you disable it yourself.

In other directions, the pricing for the Planet Zero Beeline service is as follows:

the write-off per day of using the service is 100 rubles;
from 0 to 20 minutes incoming calls are free;
from 21 minutes, an incoming call costs 15 rubles per minute;
The cost of all outgoing calls is 45 rubles per minute."
SMS are priced at 9 rubles per message.

These countries include Taiwan, Israel, Kanala, Singapore, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Korea, Brazil, UAE, South Africa, Iran, Chile and other countries. The entire list of countries is on the official website or you can find it out by calling the Beeline helpline number and contacting the operator.

Thus, it turns out that in these directions tariffing is already less profitable. But, nevertheless, such prices still help you save a lot on telephone calls while abroad, if you compare them with standard roaming prices. All calls made while roaming are charged per minute, starting from the first second of the call.

If you still have any questions about this option from Beeline, you can contact the subscriber service office or call 0611 . In addition, it is worth emphasizing that this option is not available for some tariffs and for USB modems. The entire list of those that do not support the service can be seen on the company’s website.

At the moment, this option is already outdated and instead you can connect another service called “The most profitable roaming”.

Cost of options when activating the service

Not valid on all tariffs. The cost of an incoming call even outside the Russian Federation from the first to the 20th minute of conversation is 0 rubles/day. However, the cost of other connected options does not change. The service operates in Moscow, St. Petersburg and nearby areas.

Planet zero Beeline

Mobile subscribers regularly visit other countries for travel or business purposes. When visiting a new country, roaming is activated on your phone, which does not spare financial resources when making calls and sending SMS messages. allows you to stay abroad and not change your regular number.

It is worth noting that while in another country, you will automatically pay for all operator services at different rates. Therefore, before your planned trip, it is recommended to turn off all other tariffs, stopping only at Planet Zero.

The benefit of the service comes down to the fact that the subscriber can receive incoming calls on more than favorable terms: free communication from the 2nd to the 10th minute of the conversation. Starting from the 11th minute and ending at the 19th, free communication is activated again. An additional advantage of the program is the absence of a subscription fee.

Operators: roaming news

Upgrade of the long-suffering “Planet Zero” Beeline, now the price and parameters are somewhat closer to “Zero without Borders” MTS. Important: the parameters and conditions of the option have changed, including for those who connected it earlier, so I strongly advise you to read the review. And also about the simultaneous rise in price of mobile Internet in international roaming, which also concerns many.

In one of the last interviews, he answered questions about prices for mobile communications in different regions and international roaming. Once again, he patiently explained that the words “unfair” and “surplus profits” are not applicable to the situation of double and triple differences in communication prices in the capitals and in distant regions with completely different salary levels. Tariffs for telecom services are formed not only on the basis of the cost of the “product”. In many ways, prices are determined by what people can and are willing to pay, plus the competitive situation in a particular region. Plus the licensing obligations of operators; in some areas, cell phones operate at a loss. But we are obliged to provide coverage; this is included in the conditions for obtaining frequencies. And many other “introductory” features of the functioning of the cellular business in Russia.

With international roaming, everything is much simpler; here pricing is truly based on the cost of services. Up to 70% of the costs of our cell phone workers come from payments to foreign partners, and these payments are not in rubles. It is natural that prices are adjusted to the “common denominator” of all operators. Some profitable offers at the level of previous prices have still survived, but there is almost no doubt that all tariff “gaps” will be closed. All we have to do is closely monitor the situation and factor in some increase in communication costs into the vacation budget.

Tariff plan for foreign trips “ALL for 1800 + roaming”

For true cosmopolitans, who today can be in Moscow, tomorrow in Milan, and the day after tomorrow on a Vietnamese beach, a package tariff for trips “All for 1800 + roaming” has been developed.

Its main advantage is a good amount of traffic, which can be spent both at home and on trips abroad.

The package includes:

3000 minutes of calls with any operators in Russia;
3000 SMS messages in your home region and when traveling around Russia;
15 GB of Internet, which can be spent at home, in Russia and in popular countries of the world.

And although there are no special prices for calls from abroad, if you have the Internet, you can always communicate digitally: via Skype, WhatsApp and Telegram video calls.

The rules for using the Internet are similar - speed is not limited for the first hundred megabytes per day.

: description

An ideal option for those who not only travel a lot around Russia, but also often call Kyrgyzstan or Ukraine. It allows you to make calls without paying per minute. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the Beeline calls without borders service operates within the network. In neighboring countries this is:

Kyivstar for Ukraine;
Sky Mobile for Kyrgyzstan.

The plan is valid not only in the region where the mobile phone number is registered, but also on all trips to Russian cities. The main thing is to have an appropriate coverage area. Calls to mobile phones of other operators and landlines are paid according to the current Beeline tariffs, that is, for a fee.

Internet in Beeline roaming abroad

All subscribers have access to the Internet in roaming from the Beeline operator and this is very convenient, because it is now impossible to imagine traveling without access to the network, especially to another country. The ability to access the Internet from your phone provides additional convenience. Including the ability to immediately share the best photos or find the necessary places on the map, find out the weather forecast.

All details regarding the Internet in roaming in relation to your tariff plan can be found by contacting the hotline at 8 800 700 0611 or dialing the short number 0611.

It is possible to connect 40 MB for 200 rubles and the ability to order an additional megabyte package. After the package is exhausted, each additional megabyte will cost 5 rubles if a new package is not connected.

There is also an unlimited Internet roaming service; it can be connected in more than 100 countries around the world. Some conditions for using unlimited abroad:

Traffic is not limited. The first 100 MB per day is provided at maximum speed, then the limit is 128 Kbps until the end of the day.
The payment is stable, so you know exactly how much you will spend.
Payment is withdrawn from the mobile account only on the day of use.
Cost – 350 rubles for each day of use.
Valid in the CIS countries and most popular countries. A list of the latter can be found on the operator’s website.
Available for connection to prepaid subscribers.

Connection is carried out through the command *110*20171#, disconnection *110*20170#. The option must be activated when traveling and disabled after returning, otherwise when accessing the Internet the tariff will be the same as in roaming. This option does not require connection to current Beeline tariffs.

Price

Connecting the option is absolutely free for registered Beeline users, but only when connecting to a certain tariff. Subsequent payments require a subscription fee:

the first two months per day—3.3 rubles;
subsequent months of use - 6.0 rub.

It comes out to about 100 and 180 rubles per month (starting from the third month). Tariffs for Beeline calls without borders include VAT. Calls within the territory of the Russian Federation within the network are possible with a zero or negative balance (check the exact information with the operator in your region, as it may change).

Conversations with Sky Mobile and Kyivstar subscribers within the framework of the plan are possible only with a positive balance. If there is no money in the account, calls will not go through.

Peculiarities

is aimed at users who are often within roaming range and seek to optimize costs. There is no subscription fee in its classical sense, but there are payments on the day of using the system. In other words, if on a specific day there were no incoming calls to your phone and no outgoing calls, then no charges will be made.

Benefits of using the service:

free incoming calls;
control over roaming costs;
ease of use of an operator that allows you to constantly be in touch without changing numbers.

If you connect “Planet Zero”, then others, “Planet Internet”, “Multipass” will be disabled automatically. The service is convenient because it does not need to be activated or disabled manually. It only works the moment you leave the country. “Planet Zero” deactivates itself after you return home.

The economical roaming system offers a division into popular countries and others. However, the conditions for using the service will be different.

How to connect and disconnect

The service is an additional option for the following tariff plans:

The option is disabled by default. There is no charge. To start using the call without borders Beeline , which not all subscribers know, you need to call a Beeline subscriber in Kyrgyzstan or Ukraine. There the name of the network is presented under the brands Sky Mobile and Kyivstar.

From the moment of the call, the subscription fee begins to be charged, and the current call tariffs cease to apply. The ease of connection is fraught with a catch.

The call can be a one-time call and the subscriber will never need to talk to someone from Ukraine or Kyrgyzstan again, payment will be charged for each day of use, and the subscriber will be perplexed as to why the payment is being charged.

If the Beeline call without borders option , it can be deactivated. There are several ways to disable:

through the “My Beeline” application on a mobile phone;
through your personal account on the official website;
by calling 06749990190.

Disabling will result in the option being completely deactivated. It can no longer be connected again. The only solution is to purchase a new SIM card. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use the tariff plan again.

Additionally

In addition to the above, users need to remember that the option is incompatible with other similar services aimed at reducing costs when traveling to foreign countries. Activation of alternative offers of a similar nature will lead to automatic deactivation of existing conditions.

The description would be incomplete without specifically mentioning the fact that the offer does not apply to satellite communications. Tariffing for satellite calls remains at the standard, normal level, regardless of whether additional conditions are connected or disabled.

History of the connection

The first telegraph line was laid across the sea from the United States to Cuba in 1867. Already in 1914, radio became active, and 36 years later television broadcasting began for the first time. After the successful revolution, Fidel Castro nationalized the property of many American companies. He lowered telephone charges and made them more affordable.

Further development of communications was difficult due to the US embargo. The Soviet Union and other socialist republics provided some assistance. In 1975, the Havana-Moscow telephone line was launched.

In 1994 they created, which became the first and only local mobile operator. It operates under the name "Cubacel".

How are things going with communications today?

In 2000, the US Congress took some action against Cuba, in particular, it nationalized the frozen account of its telephone company (the balance was at least $120 million). This led to the fact that already on December 15 of this year the government of Liberty Island cut off telephone lines with the States.

In 2013, it was announced that a transition from analogue to digital broadcasting was planned. Regarding the Internet, the island connected to the Usenet network in 1992. After 4 years, ETECSA became the first provider, and in 2003, the Columbus provider joined.

The free purchase of mobile devices began only in 2008, but the cost of SIM cards was quite high. Cellular communications are available in most regions. After 5 years, 118 Internet cafes opened, which made access to the World Wide Web more accessible. So now you can contact your family while on vacation.

Mobile communication operation

When planning a trip to Cuba, you should be aware of mobile communications. Officially, there is only one telephone operator in the country. A foreigner cannot purchase a SIM card, he can only rent it for the duration of his vacation. A foreigner has the opportunity to use the following types of telephone cards:

temporary - will cost $3 per day;
permanent - will cost $30, as well as $10 for recharging.

If you need to rent a SIM card, take your passport and head to the mobile operator's office. Some tourists simply negotiate with local residents to buy a room for a fee.

However, you can use your country's mobile operator when roaming. The cost will depend on the installed service package. After arriving at the airport, immediately disable any software updates on your phone, as you risk immediately losing all your funds. Prepare for disruptions.

Most popular providers

Cellular communications in Cuba are most reliably provided by the mobile operator Cubacel, which covers the entire territory. In fact, it is a monopolist and the only representative of urban and mobile communication services. Most of the company's shares are owned by the state. The Nauta brand, which is responsible for Internet connections, is also the property of .

The cost depends on the time of day. The normal rate (from 7 am to 10:59 pm) in 2021 is $0.35 per minute. The reduced rate, valid at night (from 23.00 to 6.59 am), will cost $0.10 per minute.

Havana, Cuba

Comparative analysis of the work of cellular operators in Cuba

When going on a trip to Cuba, you should keep in mind that there is only one state-owned telephone operator in the country and its cards can only be purchased by persons with Cuban citizenship. True, foreign citizens can rent local cards, but we will talk about this below.

However, signals from other cellular operators are available in roaming mode in Cuba. Which cellular connection is cheaper in Cuba in Varadero and other regions largely depends on the user’s service package.

Once you arrive in Cuba, you must immediately disable automatic updates of programs and applications on your phone - otherwise the update processes will cause a serious impact on your account balance due to high roaming costs.

Many tourists have a question about which connection is better in Cuba. Mobile devices with 3G and 4G receive the signal and network more consistently than others in the country. However, interruptions in access are always possible for everyone.

The most reliable mobile connection is provided by the local operator ETECSA under the Cubacel brand. Its coverage area is almost the entire territory of the country. The provided communication standards are GSM (850/900 MHz) and TDMA (800 MHz). As mentioned above, at the moment all available mobile operators in Cuba are exclusively Cubacel.

SIM cards and their service in Cuba

Local SIM cards can only be purchased by Cuban citizens. However, a service such as room rental is available to foreign citizens. At the same time, there are two types of telephone line activation for foreigners:

Temporary – $3 per day;
Permanent – $30 + $10 for the first recharge.

To rent a room, you will need to visit the operator’s office and present your passport. Many tourists, in order not to leave their data in local systems, prefer to negotiate the purchase of a SIM card with local residents. Remuneration for such a service is negotiable.
