The review will present a list of preferential tariff plans and services that will allow you to enter international roaming without fear of making long calls, surfing the Internet and writing SMS messages.

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.

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.

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:

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

Results

The advantages of using a Beeline number in roaming are simple and easy conditions for the user, and this applies to both the use of communications in Russia and around the world. When using a number on the Beeline network, there is no roaming on all tariff plans. However, it is worth considering that the city in which the services are used is considered local, but home and the rest are considered intercity.

When traveling abroad, all subscribers can use special tariffs that allow them to profitably use both voice and Internet services. Without additional options, in most countries of the world package payment is used, but you can refuse the package of minutes and also activate unlimited data transfer.

Ban on online roaming

Deactivation rules

However, it should be remembered that options that have been transferred to the archived group cannot be activated again after being disabled.

For customers using a prepaid payment system, roaming is automatically turned off when entering the home network coverage area. For postpaid subscribers, international communication is deactivated when the account balance drops below the amount of 300 rubles.

Charge for incoming calls

If you want to talk to relatives or friends who remain in Russia, and the caller is in Turkey, you should understand how charging occurs.

As soon as the other end of the line answered, the countdown of the telephone conversation began and from that moment the cost was calculated. Each minute costs 69 rubles . This time starts from the first second.

If the conversation is over and a minute has not passed, then it is rounded up. This means that if the connection is disconnected at 2 minutes and 25 seconds, then it is considered that the subscriber talked for 3 minutes, and accordingly, an amount equal to 3 * 69 = 207 rubles will be charged.

FAQ

1. How much internet do you need on holiday in Turkey?

It all depends on your needs. If you only need the Internet for chatting on Viber or WhatsApp, not very actively scrolling through Instagram and navigating around the city, then 300-400 MB per day should be enough. If you like to watch Youtube or something similar, you may need more than 1 GB per day.

Based on this, you need to understand whether you have access to Wi-Fi at the hotel or beach where you are relaxing. For example, Istanbul has deployed a free Wi-Fi network throughout the city. In Antalya, it is also available on city beaches and in public places. From this understanding, you can already adjust your needs and choose the appropriate mobile Internet tariff.

2. The Internet has run out, what should I do?

You can go to a communication store and ask to connect a new package. Or connect it yourself in the mobile application.

3. How long does a Turkish SIM card remain active?

If you don’t replenish your balance, then about 6 months.

4. How to make cheap calls from Turkey to Russia to Russian numbers?

This can be done for free, even within your tariff. If you have a Megaphone, use eMotion. If you have MTS - MTS Connect (in the reviews they write that it can be buggy).

To use you will need an internet connection. In this case, calls will come from your real number.

5. How can you avoid losing money in international roaming with a Russian SIM card?

To do this you need:

• Enable a ban on international roaming in the mobile application, personal account on the website or in the office of the mobile operator (for each SIM card).
• Turn off mobile data.

However, there are still cases when some write-offs occur. Check in the app!

Cost of calls and SMS from Turkey to Russia

When using roaming, the subscriber should know that in this case both outgoing and incoming calls are subject to payment. In this case, a fee is charged for each minute of conversation. If the call is completed, but the minute has not yet expired, then payment is taken for the time rounded up.

In order to call Russia or make a call within Turkey, 69 rubles will be debited from your account for every 60 seconds of conversation . If you need to call other countries, then the tariff here is 129 rubles. And this will be the price of every minute.

Prices are also the same for incoming phone calls from the specified countries.

Special attention should be paid to mobile messages. It doesn’t matter where you send it, it will cost 19 rubles. As for incoming SMS, they are delivered to the subscriber’s number completely free of charge. How to activate roaming on Beeline in Turkey is described above.

Rules for using mobile communications for tourists

10 nuances and questions about mobile communications in Turkey that you need to know about before purchasing a SIM card:

• Mobile operators.
  There are three main mobile operators in Turkey: TurkTelekom, TurkCell, Vodafone and several small (virtual) operators.
• Limitation on the validity period of the SIM card.
  It is important to know! The SIM card will be active for up to 90 days. This is due to the fact that tourists can legally stay in Turkey for a maximum of 90 days, after which you must either leave the country or receive a residence permit.
• Documents for obtaining a telephone number.
  To purchase you will need a passport
• Payment for communication services.
  The easiest way for tourists to pay for communications is through operator branches in stores and shopping centers.
  I advise you to purchase a package tariff plan
  , because in this case the Internet and phone calls will be much cheaper.
• Internet.
  Mobile Internet in Turkey often works much better than landline Internet. You will need it to navigate around the country, to view what fines you have, to book hotels, etc.

Important to remember! Any SIM card purchased for a foreign passport will be active for up to 90 days and a phone number will be included with it; after this period, you can simply throw it away.

As you can see, buying a SIM card is not difficult, but that’s not all, let’s continue...

• What to do when visiting the country again.
  Since the cards only work for 90 days, be prepared for the fact that when you visit the country again, you will have to buy a SIM card again, and this is a fact; if more time has passed, it will be deactivated. For this reason, you should not leave your phone number to everyone, because it is temporary. And purchasing a new card is an additional expense, approximately 100 liras or 1050 rubles.
• Blocking a cell phone during a long stay in the country.
  Keep in mind that phones purchased outside of Turkey will simply stop working after 120 days if you do not pay the tax on the imported phone. Here we are not talking about a telephone number, but about a device. This is due to the fact that initially mobile phones in Turkey are a little more expensive.

Keep in mind that from January 1, 2021, the tax on an imported phone is 1838 Turkish lira, which is approximately equal to 19115.2 rubles or $315. For a dual-SIM device, the tax is more expensive.

To register your imported phone, you will need to obtain a tax number in Turkey.

• The process of choosing a tariff and the difficulties of communicating with sellers.
  Be prepared for the fact that at points of sale, not all employees are well versed in their own tariff plans; in addition, not all of them speak Russian or even English.
  As you understand, mobile communications are quite specific and have many technical aspects that are quite difficult to figure out without knowing the language. Another life hack is related to the purchase of the SIM card itself, if it suddenly happens that the seller speaks only Turkish and he does not understand other languages, then just tell him yeni sim-card (new SIM card) and it will be in your pocket!
• Mobile phone theft.
  In Turkey, it is not customary to steal mobile phones; theft in general is quite rare. What to do if your mobile phone is stolen? It's simple: you need to immediately contact the police, because the likelihood that your phone will be found is quite high.
• Is there an alternative to the major telecom operators?
  Yes, I have. In this article I will tell you about another little-known BIM operator (SIM cards of which can be easily purchased at any BIM network store)
• Do not buy a SIM card at the airport , as you know, everything costs more there than in the city!
• Eliminate minutes and SMS from your data plan to save money. Almost every telecom operator has a tariff plan in which you can increase, for example, Gigabytes, which is more important for a tourist and at the same time there is no extra charge, i.e. no minutes, no SMS. Try to explain when purchasing a card and perhaps you will be connected to a more favorable tariff at the moment!

Which option is better for a tourist?

Before choosing a Turkish SIM card, you should think about what you need to purchase. Using the services of Turkish mobile operators is beneficial only if you stay in a foreign country for a long time. There is no particular price advantage for communications and the Internet over Russian roaming. When you come to relax for a week or two, you shouldn’t bother with getting a SIM card, because the procedure will take a lot of time.

If you still need to buy a SIM card, then of the three Turkish providers Vodafone is preferable. It offers optimal conditions for calls on local and international lines, and favorable Internet in Turkey.

The second most profitable provider is Avea. Recommended for subscribers who constantly use the Internet. Tariffing for internal calls is carried out according to the principle: the more money in the account, the less the call costs. But international calls are expensive (up to 50 liras per minute call).

Turkcell is the least profitable. To make a call, you will have to shell out a decent amount of money. Telephone calls and SMS are more expensive than with Russian roaming.

The tourist decides which mobile connection to use while vacationing in Turkey, focusing on personal needs and financial capabilities. Some vacationers value conversations and SMS messages, while others value Internet access. Turkish providers set prices for their services that are not much different from Russian roaming. Therefore, when coming for a short vacation, it is better to use roaming than to apply for a Turkish SIM.

Where to buy a SIM card?

You need to contact a mobile phone store, or find a seller in a shopping center in Istanbul, another large city. It is not recommended to buy a cheap SIM card secondhand or at suspicious points of sale at the airport: the product being sold will most likely be of poor quality.

Turkcell office

Turkey has introduced the CEIR system, which involves registering a phone with a Turkish operator card.

If there is no registration within a month of being in the country, the phone is blocked and becomes inaccessible to the network.
