It is hardly a secret for any of the modern Russian cellular subscribers that outside their home region, operators provide services on less favorable terms than directly “at home”. A similar trend is observed among all cellular companies in the country, regardless of the region of connection. Of course, there are separate tariff plans aimed at providing the opportunity for profitable communication throughout Russia. But such offers are convenient for those clients who travel throughout the Russian Federation systematically. For other subscribers, Beeline may be an ideal option.
Briefly about the service
If we talk briefly about this offer, then for starters it’s worth saying that this is not a tariff, but an additional service. This is what makes it an ideal option for rare trips around the country, and not a tool for regular travelers across the expanses of the vast Motherland.
Activating the service guarantees subscribers the opportunity to use communications on more favorable terms than those provided under most default tariff packages for roaming within Russia.
What's the benefit?
A call within Russia cost only 3 rubles per minute. The incoming cost was the same. The lucky ones who managed to connect to this service before November 26, 2015, paid for only the first minute of incoming calls, and then talked for free. Outgoing SMS messages within Russia cost 3 rubles, incoming SMS messages cost 0 rubles. “My Country” covered all cities except the connection area, the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
At the same time, subscribers, having activated this option once, could no longer think about such a terrible word as “roaming”. The option began to work automatically as soon as a person left his home area, and it was completely free, not counting a one-time connection.
The option made it possible to profitably make calls to your colleagues, business partners or relatives, significantly saving on cellular communications costs.
Detailed description of the Beeline “My Country” option
As for the more detailed characteristics of the roaming service in Russia, their list is quite simple and limited, but this is the main highlight of the offer - it is extremely simple to use and has completely transparent conditions. In general, the conditions look like this:
- Service activation fee: 25 rubles;
- Subscription fee: none;
- All incoming and outgoing calls within the country: 3 rubles per minute;
- Sending messages throughout the country: 3 rubles per message.
One of the main advantages of this option is that it does not have a daily subscription fee in its terms, which means there is no need to think about deactivating it. By activating the offer once, you can use it for a long time.
The option also has its limitations, the main one of which is that its conditions do not apply in the territory of Crimea and Sevastopol. In addition, the restrictions also affected subscribers of tariff packages of the “EVERYTHING!” family. The service is not available for such users, and if the service was activated before switching to any of the packages in the “EVERYTHING!” line, it will be automatically disabled when switching to a new tariff plan.
Also, while in national roaming, do not forget about Internet traffic, and that the “My Country” option does not apply to mobile Internet, and traffic is charged according to the terms of the Beeline package used.
Connection
There are several convenient ways to activate the service for cheap roaming in Beeline in Russia:
- through the Beeline Personal Account both on the full version of the website and in the mobile application in the “Services” section;
- by hotline number 0611;
- by dedicated line number 0683 using autoinformer prompts;
- via USSD command *110*0021#.
An employee of the Beeline service office can also help with the settings. However, it only works with the SIM card owner, so you will need to take your passport with you to confirm your identity.
How to disable on Beeline
If you decide to deactivate this service, you can also do this very simply: you just need to call the number again 0683.
However, before disconnecting, you need to weigh the pros and cons, since the service is available for use for free, but it is possible that in the future Beeline will revise the terms of the offer and make some kind of subscription fee. And this is far from an innovation, because previously “My Country” was offered to subscribers for connection completely free of charge, and only since 2015 its activation costs 25 rubles.
Benefits of the service
- Anyone can connect to profitable roaming within Russia “My Country” Beeline.
- The cost of connecting to the service is only 25 rubles.
- There is no need to pay a monthly subscription fee, which is an undeniable advantage.
- Another positive side is that there is no need to connect and cancel the service every time.
It will be enough to connect “My Country” from Beeline once and that’s it. Every time the subscriber leaves his home region, the service will be turned on automatically. Then, when the user returns to the region for which the number is registered, the service will be automatically disabled. Accordingly, funds for use from Beeline will not be charged after returning to your home region.
Description of service
The official description of the option states that it is designed specifically for Beeline clients who often move around Russia. This service provides that a subscriber who often travels across the regions of the Russian Federation will not overpay for roaming when making calls. In essence, this is an improved version of the “Light Roaming” tariff, with the shortcomings eliminated.
Thus, the previous tariff provided that only customers with a postpaid payment system could use it, while My Country is intended for subscribers who pay using the prepaid method.
In addition, Roaming lightly provided for a subscription fee of 150 rubles for simple use . At this time, My Country does not provide any subscription fee at all.
Call costs and tariffs
The option is provided for a fee, but it still really saves money on calls.
- The first and each subsequent connection will cost 20 rubles.
- The subscriber is charged daily for using the service - 3 rubles.
As for call tariffs, it varies for each region. A minute of conversation with all cities will cost from 1.5 to 3 rubles.
The cost of calls to Tele2 subscribers and other operators does not vary. For example, in your region the service price is 2 rubles, and this will be the cost of a minute of communication with subscribers in other cities of all operators, including Tele2.
Before activating the service, make sure there are enough funds on your balance. Money for connection and subscription fee will be debited from your account immediately upon activation.
If you haven’t made a single call to another region during the day, the subscription fee will still be charged!

Terms of service

Billing is per minute for outgoing calls. You are charged from the first second of the conversation. However, when you receive an incoming call, you will only pay for receiving the call. Funds will not be charged on a per-minute basis. And receiving incoming SMS messages will be completely free.
But it is worth remembering that this option may not interact with every tariff. It has already been said that it is incompatible with the “Everything” plan. But in addition, it does not support tariffs that provide Internet access.
