How to choose a tariff with Yota unlimited internet for a 4G modem

Iota is a fairly young provider, which in 10 years has managed to firmly establish itself in the Russian communications and mobile interactive communications market. It provides unlimited Internet not only for smartphones, but also for tablets and personal computers using USB modems or branded Internet centers from this mobile data operator. The modem connection method is becoming increasingly popular due to the fact that it provides a flexible unlimited tariff plan with high transfer speeds. Today we will look at what Iota tariffs are for a modem: unlimited Internet and temporary traffic.

Main offers

As you know, Yota has the same tariff for personal computers and laptops using a modem. The difference lies in the time the service is provided. If a subscriber uses a Yota 4G modem, the price for the tariff will be based on the number of days of connection.

The company offers the following options:

• Two hours for 50 rubles*;
• One day for 150 rubles;
• A month for 1400 rubles;
• A year for 9,000 rubles.

Important! There is also a temporary activation at maximum speed.
This allows you to evaluate all the capabilities and advantages of the provider and helps the person understand whether he wants to pay for these conditions for a month or even a year in advance.

Roaming and calls abroad

There is no roaming in Russia, but there are some nuances:

1. If you are outside the Moscow region for more than a month, the conditions will be changed;
2. In Crimea, incoming and outgoing calls, SMS messages and gigabytes of traffic are paid separately - 2.9 rubles.

When traveling to another country, roaming is activated automatically under the following conditions (with a previously activated service package):

1. Belarus, Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland):

• Communication within the host country – 19 ₽/min.;
• Calls to Russia – 19 ₽/min.;
• To other countries – 129 ₽/min.;
• Incoming calls – 19 ₽/min. or half an hour a day for 39 ₽;
• Sent sms – 9₽;
• 1 MB of traffic – 20 ₽/1 MB for the first 20 20 MB as a gift.

1. China, USA:

• Communication within the host country – 79 ₽/min.;
• Calls to Russia – 79 ₽/min.;
• To other countries – 129 ₽/min.;
• Incoming calls – 79 ₽/min. or half an hour a day for 39 ₽;
• Sent sms – 19₽;
• 1 MB of traffic – 20 ₽/1 MB for the first 20 20 MB as a gift.

• Incoming calls – 119 ₽/min. or half an hour a day for 39 ₽;
• Sent sms – 19₽;
• 5MB for 790 ₽/MB 5MB as a gift.

Temporary activation

Description of mobile Internet from Yota - advantages and disadvantages

Temporary activation is also suitable for people who rarely use the Internet. If you do not pay for the service on time or use up all Gigabytes ahead of schedule, then access to the network will remain, but its speed will range from 64 to 128 Kbps (and when working with file hosting services it will drop to 32 Kbps). This will be enough to log into the network, but will not be enough to perform any normal actions on the Internet. This is where temporary options appeared: 2 hours for 50 rubles and a day for 150 rubles. For a person who uses Iota Internet for a computer using a modem as a backup or for travel, this function will be very useful.

When to connect a modem tariff

Tariff options for analog-to-digital signal converters are needed by those users who use the Yota SIM card exclusively to access the Internet via a computer or laptop. For a tablet or smartphone, if necessary, use the Internet and voice communication, use other options

When purchasing a Yota SIM card and modem, the provider provides a week-long test drive. Each client can test the purchased device for free and decide whether it is suitable for him.

Every year there are more and more positive reviews about the unlimited Internet of the Yota provider. Customers note an improvement in the quality of services due to the expansion and optimization of the operator’s network.

Characteristics

Below we will describe in more detail the conditions and reasons why you need to use a particular tariff.

For a day

How to connect home Internet from Yota

This tariff plan is no different from longer ones, except that it is issued for 24 hours, that is, for a day. The connection speed does not depend on this. It is suitable for those who are on the go or use a Yota modem when the main provider has malfunctioned or started technical work for a while.

For a month

The Yota tariff for the modem is also available with a monthly subscription (for 30 days). Today it is considered one of the most popular solutions, as it is in the middle of the tariff scale. Use it in the following cases:

• When they don’t want to buy a subscription for a whole year;
• If you are not ready to pay a large amount for something that they may not use;
• Subscribers are not satisfied with this pricing system for tariff plans.

Important! Its cost also depends on speed. If 64 Kbit/s suits you, then you don’t have to pay. Maximum speed costs 1000 rubles and more. The advantage of Yota is that you can independently determine the price for services by selecting connection parameters. This is done in your personal account using sliders that are set to the required position

For a year

If the subscriber is an active Internet user, “sits” on it for several hours a day and wants to save money, then this option is for him. The reasons why people order an annual subscription to Iota modem internet are as follows:

• Low prices per year;
• An opportunity to save time and nerves on permanent renewal of registration;
• There is no need to think about payment if a person plans to use the operator’s services for a long time.

The annual subscription options are as follows:

• Without restrictions - 9000 rub.
• Up to 5 Mbit/s - 5400.
• Up to 10 Mbit/s - 6900.

The subscriber can independently choose the option for activation.

Wait, wait, what kind of modems are these?

The same Yota Many, the predecessor of the Yota Router.
Nowadays they have forgotten about it a little, but Yota in Russia started with modems. I still remember the surprise (if not delight) when I saw Yota Many live in 2011.

A small, portable, wireless router that worked on the very first 4G networks in Russia is a harbinger of the future, nothing less.

Yota modem.

Now Yota has three miniature modems without beautiful names. The first is a simple Yota Modem in the “whistle” format. Connects via USB, works with all operating systems and requires an absolute minimum of settings.

Of course, this is an option for laptops and desktop computers. It does not know how to distribute the Internet; instead, it simply connects to the Yota network, working as a USB access point.

Black body, luminous logo, folding USB plug - in general, the whistle is like a whistle, it looks strict and decent.

Costs 1990 rubles. on the Yota website, the SIM card is included in the package.

Yota router.

The second device is more interesting. This is a Yota Router , completely autonomous and universal. It functions as a wireless access point: it distributes LTE Internet via Wi-Fi to all devices nearby.

You can connect up to 8 gadgets at the same time, so you, your family, and your guests will have enough. Like the legendary Yota Many, the Yota Router has a built-in battery and operates for up to 6 hours in “distribution” mode.

The thing is charged via a micro-USB port, the cable is included.

You can buy one for 2990 rubles. from Yota along with a SIM card.

The third Yota modem is an analogue of the first, but can also serve as an access point. It will cost 2950 rubles. Considering the minimal differences, I did not take it for testing.

Testing

How to connect Yota unlimited mobile Internet for a tablet

You can try not only a specific tariff by ordering its use for 2 hours, but also test the network. It assumes that within a few days you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of an unlimited connection without speed restrictions.

This is done so that the subscriber has time to understand whether it is worth using such a tariff plan from this operator or not. Even if the equipment has been purchased and the connection has been paid for, you can call the customer support center and submit a request to refuse to use the services. All costs will be reimbursed.

How to choose a tariff plan for mobile devices?

The operator has a wide range of services, including unlimited Internet. Before you connect the Eta tariff for the modem, you need to set its parameters. Here the subscriber is free to choose which services to add to the package (connect to unlimited Yota or choose a fixed package), and which ones to ignore.

The final cost of services will be determined from the totality of the selected options and the maximum speed of the mobile Internet.

Regardless of the coverage area and type of equipment, Yota provides full unlimited traffic for a month. Also, the client can order the Internet for a day or 2 hours, if he does not need constant unlimited access to the network.

Yota tariffs with unlimited Internet for a modem have a speed limit - from 512 Kbps to 20 Mbps. The price of the tariff will change accordingly: the cheapest will cost 420 rubles for 30 days, the most expensive – 850 rubles .

If you use wireless Internet for regular surfing, then you should choose a cheaper and simpler tariff plan. To create a full-fledged home or office local network, an expensive package is more suitable. If you like to watch TV and video online, then it is recommended to buy a tariff for laptops and modems for 850 rubles/month.

You can change the tariff at any time on the Iota provider website or in the mobile application.

About speed

For a number of tariffs, the subscriber chooses the speed characteristics of the future connection himself when activating them. In a 4G LTE network, speeds can reach 15-20 Mbit/s. For older generation networks (3G), this parameter ranges from 3 to 6 Mbit/s. This data is highly inaccurate because it is influenced by:

• Network congestion at the moment;
• TX of the devices used;
• Internet connection type;
• Remoteness of the subscriber from Internet stations;
• Relief characteristics that affect the passage of signal waves.

Important! That is why the communication speed can change: it is influenced by quite a few natural and man-made factors and the coverage area of ​​the subscriber’s location.

Is it worth using the Internet from Iota?

Let's summarize - is it worth using the company's services? First, we indicate the identified advantages:

1. There are enough connection options available.
2. It is possible to reduce costs by selecting the speed or purchasing an annual subscription.
3. You can use modems even outside the home.
4. It is possible to use the equipment in cases where there is no technical possibility for laying a cable.
5. The company provides an honest unlimited limit, without a lot of additional conditions.
6. You can test Yota to make sure the network is functioning perfectly.

Minuses:

• Not the highest speed. The maximum 20 Mbps is incomparable to the capabilities of broadband networks.
• You need to buy additional equipment.
• When the network load is high, the speed may drop.

About prices and their formation

It’s worth returning to Iota Internet tariffs. This article talked about prices for the capital region, but the company changes them in different cities and regions to equalize people with different salaries and standards of living. It's easy to find out prices in your region. To do this, you need to visit the operator’s website, find the section with modem plans and read the payment terms.

Yota Internet tariffs for phones

To ensure loyalty from regular and future customers, Yota offers flexible tariffs. A special graphical tool has been developed on the site that allows you to select the required number of minutes and Internet in a flexible tariff. The selection frames are as follows:

1. Minutes – select any number, from 0 to 2000 minutes in minute increments. In this case, you can choose 1777 minutes and no one will tell you anything.
2. Number of Gigabytes – minimum 1 GB, maximum – unlimited. Starting from 1 GB in increments of 1, you can connect up to 50 GB for a month, or immediately switch to unlimited internet.
3. With metered internet, you can buy unlimited traffic for a specific application (service), which will not waste the total gigabytes.

For more convenient tariff correlation, you can use special tags on the website:

1. Unlimited only – purchasing internet without restrictions, but without minutes for other operators.
2. More minutes – starting points are 300 minutes and 11 GB, which can be immediately adjusted in the desired direction.
3. More internet – starting points are 212 minutes and 22 GB.
4. Even more - calls within 300 minutes, internet without restrictions.

Communication tariffs are directly dependent on the region where you live.

Prices for services differ in each region of the country. But a flexible tape with a built-in calculator allows you to quickly calculate the required subscription fee for the services you have selected.

If all calls or gigabytes have been used before the tariff ends, you can purchase another 100 minutes and 5 GB, respectively.

In order not to waste traffic on a frequently used messenger or social network, you can buy unlimited traffic for a specific service in addition to the tariff. Only for smartphone owners you can connect unlimited traffic for:

• IMO – 20 rubles;
• ICQ – 20 rub;
• Tinder –30 rub;
• WeChat – 20 rubles;
• Twitch – 75 rub;
• Periscope – 30 rub.

Equipment

To use Internet traffic from Yota on a PC or laptop, you will need a modem or router. There are two options here:

• Availability of the required equipment;
• Lack of devices and purchasing them from Yota.

If you already have a device, then it is important that it meets all the required parameters, and there are no restrictions on its use in the networks of other providers.

When selling devices from the company, you can purchase several devices:

• 4G modem - 1900 rubles;
• Router - 2900 rubles;
• Router + modem Yota Ready Maxi - 6190 rubles;
• Internet center (for home, cottage and office) - 6900 rubles.

Rates for SMS

There are two options for paying for text messages or MMS:

1. Piece by piece – for 2.5₽ one SMS or mms;
2. Package offer – 50₽ for an unlimited number of shipments.

If you send more than 20 sms/mms per month, then it makes sense to purchase a package offer. Connection nuances:

• You can activate it at any time, but it will be valid until the end of the main package (no more than a month);
• When prolonging the tariff conditions, the fee for the SMS service will be debited automatically; if this option is not required for the next month, you must disable it manually.

How to activate and deactivate the service

It remains to consider how to connect to the operator’s network. To become a client of the company, you need to spend a little time. At the moment, for unknown reasons, the company does not offer to deliver a SIM card, although the website has sections for ordering a card for a phone and tablet. Because of this, you will most likely have to visit the Iota center to purchase the card.

Instructions for connection and activation are as follows:

1. Go to the official website of the operator;
2. Select a section with available points of sale of equipment and SIM cards;
3. Wait for the map with points to load;
4. View the addresses of the nearest offices and choose the most suitable one;
5. Familiarize yourself with his work schedule;
6. Come to the office and receive a SIM card after completing the contract, for which you will need to bring your passport;
7. Buy equipment if necessary.

If it is a modem, then it needs to be inserted into the computer port. Drivers will be installed automatically. It is also advisable to study the available tariffs in your personal account on the official website or in the application and connect.

You can disable the tariff or change it in the “Personal Account” section on the website or in the application. For this purpose, a simple and convenient interface has been designed that even a person who has never dealt with this can understand.
