In this article, we will study in detail and compare all the current tariffs of Russian mobile operators from the top five and answer the question of which communication is the most profitable, high-quality, most flexible, more multifunctional and more focused on the interests of its subscribers.

The review will cover the offers of the largest mobile operators in the country:

  • Yota;
  • Tele2;
  • Beeline;
  • Megaphone.

Are you interested? It cannot be otherwise, because expenses for mobile communications and the Internet today are present in the personal accounting of every modern Russian.

So, are you ready to get acquainted with the most favorable tariffs of mobile operators in 2020, and choose the leader in terms of efficiency, quality, versatility and loyalty to subscribers? Let's start with a detailed overview of current tariff plans, which can be customized to suit your needs.

Let us immediately add that at the end a very detailed table, where we have collected a description of all tariffs. In this format it will be very convenient for you to choose the right operator! Be sure to read the article to the end!

How to “tame” mobile expenses or “Customizable tariffs”

These are special tariff plans that allow each subscriber to collect their own content. For example, choose a lot of Internet or change the SMS package and the average number of free minutes for calls to customers of other mobile operators. Or turn off everything you can, leaving only gigabytes for traffic.

These tariffs are in demand because each subscriber gets the opportunity to pay only for those services that they use, so they are deservedly called the most favorable mobile communication tariffs of cellular operators.

Our task is to find the most budget-friendly one - for this we should give brief assessment offers from each of the cellular companies listed above. To identify the best cellular tariffs, you will need to compare different operators with each other - this will help determine the most optimal option.

We have arranged all the reviews in order of priority, sorting mobile operators by price for the services provided from lowest to highest.

Please note that the article discusses prices in Moscow and Moscow Region. There may be changes in other areas, and each cellular provider has its own nuances in individual regions. To see the current cost for your city, go to the official website of the cellular operator and set your location.

So, let's go!

Yota: become a designer of your own tariff

Let's start with a cellular provider with an unusual name - “Yota”.

Note to inquisitive readers - cellular company Yota is a subsidiary of the mobile operator Megafon., so they have almost the same coverage areas. Despite the fact that after the merger many analysts promised Yota a quick end, it still works and is in demand on the market no less than its “parent”. This is due to radically different approaches to marketing.

This cellular company refused to develop standard package offers, giving subscribers full access to customize their tariff plan. Thus, all Yota tariffs are customizable.

Right on the start page of the cellular operator’s website there is a constructor with which each user can assemble a package for themselves.

  • Within Yota, all calls are made free of charge;
  • SMS messages are connected separately;
  • Unlimited on social networks is available, and the subscriber selects only those that he uses;
  • The number of minutes and traffic in the tariff designer is set at the request of the client.

For example, if you choose 2 GB of traffic and 200 minutes for free calls to third-party mobile operators, you will pay 350 rubles per month. If you refuse minutes – 250 rubles. Take only traffic, for example, 12 GB - 330 rubles. If you don’t connect either traffic or calls, there will be no monthly fee at all, but then calls within Yota will become paid - 2.9 rubles / min.

  • Brief summary:
  1. We believe that the offers of the cellular company Yota have the most fine-tuning - you can select specific social networks with free access, set the required amount of traffic and minutes (and the step is very small).
  2. The mobile operator has developed a convenient and concise mobile application from which you can manage all connected services. It’s not for nothing that the cellular company is called a “Virtual” provider;
  3. Yota does not “suffocate” with an excess of additional options. On the other hand, there are much fewer such services here than other cellular operators;
  4. Analysis of prices showed that this mobile operator provides the most budget prices;
  5. The coverage area and quality of the Internet connection is sometimes poor, especially in the periphery, outside of large cities.

Thus, we award Yota the title of the most inexpensive and flexible mobile operator!

Tele 2: tariffs and “best price guarantee” - is it true or fiction?

Next, we’ll try to compare the tariffs of mobile operators for 2020 by examining products from Tele 2: according to the provider, you won’t be able to find a cheaper offer - he states this right on the start page of his website. Let's check how true this loud promise is.

The cellular company Tele 2 today has as many as 5 customizable tariffs, which are leaders in the number of connections.

  • An absolute hit - the “My Online” package. Conversations within Russia within Tele 2 are not charged.

By default, it includes full Unlimited access to all popular social networks, but if you take the “poorest” package, you can turn it off, completely or selectively - then the subscription fee will be less (if complete shutdown– for 150 rubles).

The simplest package package is 2 GB for the Internet + 200 minutes for calls with third-party networks (within the region). This tariff will cost only 350 rubles (remember about the opportunity to remove Unlimited on social networks). The most voluminous filling includes 1000 minutes and 40 GB for 1000 rubles per month. It's really inexpensive!

  • The closest “relative” or an extended version of the previous proposal is the “My Online +” tariff. It is completely identical in content, but for a small increase in the amount of the monthly fee, it provides almost twice as much traffic and free calls.

  • The next tariff is called “My Conversation”, it offers 2 GB of traffic and 200 minutes of calls to other networks for only 200 rubles. This is a minimum fill, but you can set up larger volumes if needed.

  • The “My Tele 2” tariff involves a daily subscription fee. For just 7 rubles a day you will receive Unlimited communication within the network, as well as 5 GB of Internet.

  • For starters, there is a very interesting tariff called “Classic” - it does not contain any traffic, no packages of minutes or SMS. Its main highlight is the absence of a subscription fee. If you maintain a positive balance, you will be able to make calls within Tele 2 for free (when you activate the “Unlimited on Tele 2” option for 5 rubles). A minute of calls with other networks costs 2 rubles.

Let's complete the review of the products of this cellular operator with information on additional services and options - there are so many of them that we could not even count them. To compare objectively, let us mention that there are definitely no fewer of them than, for example, MTS or Beeline.

  • Brief summary:
  1. Tele 2 does offer low prices, but if you study them in detail, it becomes clear that Yota’s are still a little cheaper (because you can turn off unnecessary options);
  2. Many users are unhappy that when switching to new tariffs, a lot of additional services are activated at the same time, often paid and completely unnecessary.
  3. Sometimes the declared free Unlimited turns out to be just a bait, but in reality, in order to use it, you need to activate the option (paid);
  4. The quality of communication is not always pleasing - it should be remembered that Tele2 has always positioned itself as a discount provider, so problems with coverage should be expected;
  5. Tele 2 has a lot of cool options and features, additional services and functions. Some are free, and those that you have to pay for are inexpensive.

We believe that Tele 2 deserves the title of the most oriented mobile operator to the needs of subscribers with reasonable prices. But not without its drawbacks.

MTS: flexible tariffs “Tariffishche” and “My Smart”

Let's continue the comparison of tariffs and prices of mobile operators for 2020 with an analysis of offers from the MTS company: today it has two types of tariffs with customizable content.

  • An absolute hit and a leader in connections and transitions is the MTS telephone tariff called “Tariffishche” - its most tempting part is considered to be complete Unlimited Internet access throughout Russia. A nice bonus was the ability to independently choose the desired number of free minutes and SMS messages to all networks, while communication within MTS is completely free.

Within this tariff plan, the monthly subscription fee is:

  1. 650 rubles for 500 minutes and 500 SMS;
  2. 800 rubles for 800 minutes and 800 SMS;
  3. 1050 rubles for 1500 minutes and 1500 SMS;
  4. 1550 rubles for 3000 minutes and 3000 SMS.
  • Not far behind “Tarifisch” is a product called “My Smart”, in which all content sections can be customized.

  1. The amount of traffic varies from 10 to 20 GB;
  2. Free calls and number of SMS from 200 to 600 minutes/
    things;
  3. Subscription fee from 500 to 700 rubles per month.

Thus, if you choose everything to the maximum - 20 GB of traffic, 600 minutes and SMS messages, then you will pay only 700 rubles.

Please note that if you look at the previous offer (“Tariff”), then for just 100 rubles on top you will get Unlimited traffic and 800 minutes/SMS.

The catalog of additional services of this mobile operator, which can be connected to the current tariff plan for a fee or free of charge, contains more than 120 items.

  • Brief summary:
  1. The prices for tariffs from the mobile operator MTS are higher than those of Yota or Tele 2, but the quality of communication and Internet connection is an order of magnitude higher;
  2. Many functions and options can be activated;
  3. The designer's options for setting up the tariff are very clear, simple and understandable - just pull the slider. This is an additional plus;

Thus, we will call MTS a multifunctional cellular operator with objective prices and high-quality communications.

Beeline: top “cheerful bee” packages. Customizable tariffs

It is impossible to give an honest assessment and compare tariffs of mobile operators for communications and the Internet without examining the offers from Beeline.

The most popular Beeline tariffs today belong to the “Everything is mine” line with a daily subscription fee, and they differ in the volume of included packages. In total, the group has five tariff plans:

  • "Everything is Mine 1";
  • “Everything is Mine 2”;
  • “Everything is Mine 3”;
  • “Everything is Mine 4”;
  • “Absolutely everything is mine.”

A distinctive feature of the products is possibility of free exchange of remaining minutes or SMS for traffic and vice versa. This is precisely the principle of adjusting the tariff for each client: choose the most convenient option and adjust its content to suit you.

IMPORTANT! The exchange option is not active in the largest package, since it provides access to the network without restrictions. To activate it, you need to activate the special service “Unlimited Internet” for 4 rubles/day.

General conditions:

  1. Lack of tariffs for incoming calls throughout Russia;
  2. Free access to the YouTube Music Premium service for six months;
  3. When you buy a SIM card and subscribe to a tariff from this line, the mobile operator will give you a “beautiful” number.

Here's what the actual packages look like:

Rate Traffic, GB Calls to subscribers of all providers within the home region, as well as to Beeline numbers in the Russian Federation SMS to all operators within the home region Subscription fee

rubles/day

Everything is Mine1 5 200 300 13,33
Everything is Mine2 17 400 300 20
Everything is Mine3 22 1200 300 30
Everything is Mine4 30 2000 300 50
All Mine 30 5000 300 83,33

There is another group of tariffs, the content of which cannot be manually adjusted to suit you, but you can choose the most acceptable volumes. It's about about the “Everything” line, the distinctive feature of which is postpayment (once a month).

  • The monthly fee varies: 500, 800, 1200, 1500 rubles/month:
  • Traffic volume: 10, 14, 20, 30 GB;
  • Number of SMS within the network – 300, 500, 1000, 3000 pcs;
  • Calls to numbers of all mobile operators in the home area and within Beeline in Russia - 600, 1100, 2200, 3300 min.

Before summing up the products of the Beeline cellular operator, we will mention additional options, the connection of which will provide many cool opportunities - additional traffic, free calls, SMS, participation in quizzes, access to games, music, films and more.

  • Brief summary:
  1. An analysis of prices showed that Beeline's prices are higher than those of previous companies, but the quality of communication is also excellent;
  2. In our opinion, the site is incomprehensible and difficult to navigate (compared to the sites of other providers). For example, it is not immediately clear that in the “Everything is Mine” line, almost all tariffs are customizable;
  3. The option to exchange traffic for minutes or SMS and, conversely, is very cool - it makes the tariff more flexible and convenient.

Thus, the Beeline mobile operator has shown itself to be the most inventive, with a wide coverage area and impeccable communication.

Megafon: what will the digital giant please its subscribers with?

From the right choice tariff for a mobile phone depends on the subscriber's comfort, quality professional activity and ubiquitous accessibility, both online and offline.

One of the largest digital providers in our country offers a whole group of tariff plans, although the principle of operation of the tariff designer here differs from other cellular operators.

Megafon does not allow you to customize the volume of packages: select the required amount of traffic, free minutes or SMS. Subscribers are invited to study the terms of current Megafon tariffs from the “Turn On” line and choose the optimal one.

  • Unlimited on instant messengers and social networks;
  • 15 GB of traffic to other sites (or Unlimited, if you activate the Unlimited Internet option, which is free for this tariff);
  • Free communication within Megafon in Russia;
  • 600 minutes for calls to numbers of other mobile operators;
  • Pleasant bonuses in the form of an anti-virus program for a smartphone, 1 book per month from liters;
  • Monthly subscription the fee is 600 rubles.

Additionally, you can connect a variety of options to manage your account, payments and transfers, gain access to entertainment and other services.

  • Brief summary
  1. There are no customizable tariff plans;
  2. The price tag is approximately on the same level as Beeline;
  3. Many options for unlimited communication on social networks and instant messengers;

Thus, we will call Megafon a cellular operator with high-quality communications and standard package offers, generous with Unlimited.

I want to pay only for the services I use, what should I choose?

There are people who do not need hefty SMS packages or thousands of minutes of calls. Less common, but there are also those who have absolutely no need for mobile Internet. In this case, they should look for special offers from mobile operators, with a narrow focus.

Anyone can choose a tariff according to the parameters: all operators provide this opportunity in one way or another. However, when choosing, it is important to analyze not only custom packages, but also products according to needs: for the Internet, for calls and SMS, for use in roaming.

For those who prefer traditional methods of communication through calls and SMS

Comparison of tariffs of mobile operators for communication via long-term telephone conversations We will conduct comprehensive SMS and SMS correspondence. Let's take the five cellular operators we are familiar with and carefully study what benefits they currently offer to this group of subscribers.

Yota

  • It doesn’t matter what content your tariff turns out to be, within your home network you will talk to each other for free;
  • The maximum number of free minutes for communication with other mobile operators and city numbers is 2000. If you do not connect GB to the Internet, the cost of such a package will be 500 rubles/month. If you take at least 2 GB of traffic - 750 rubles / month;

Brief summary:

Yota and Tele 2, in our opinion, are on the same level in terms of price range and quality of services provided. After comparing their offers by price, we recommend Yota - it is cheaper. In Tele 2, a set of 100 SMS, 2 GB, and 1000 minutes will cost 750 rubles, and in Yota the same set, but 2000 minutes - 800 rubles. Draw your own conclusions.

Tele 2, Beeline, and Megafon have similar tariffs, but the first adds a daily subscription fee, while the second and third ones cost a little more.

Roaming conditions - feel at home!

In this section, we will try to select a favorable cellular tariff and an operator that has developed the coolest solutions for roaming subscribers.

1.Yota

The mobile operator does not have any special packages or options for clients in roaming. The conditions are general and apply to any connected tariff.

  • Calls to you from other countries are not charged;
  • Calls abroad cost from 30 to 70 rubles per minute (depending on the destination country);
  • If you are in roaming, incoming calls will cost 39 rubles/minute, outgoing calls to Russia and Finland - 19 rubles/minute, to other countries - 129 rubles/minute.
  • Outgoing SMS in roaming are charged at 9 rubles/piece;
  • Internet costs 20 rubles per MB.

2. Tele2

  • All subscribers in roaming can activate a special option - “Conversations without borders” for 5 rubles / day, then incoming calls will be charged at a price of 5 rubles / minute instead of (15-65);
  • As part of the “Unlimited Internet abroad” option, you will be able to access the network without traffic restrictions for 350 rubles per day (on those days when you do not access the Internet, the fee is not charged). Without this function, each megabyte will cost 25-50 rubles.

3. MTS

Now let’s try to choose the best mobile tariff for a phone in roaming among the developments from MTS - let’s study all the available functionality (very impressive!):

  • The coolest option is “Zabugorische”, if you connect it for 450 rubles/day (charged only on days of use), you can call and access the network at home tariff rates;

  • If you only need the Internet while abroad, activate the “Bit Abroad” service. For 450 rubles/day (only on days of use) you will receive full Unlimited traffic;
  • If you need to frequently call to Russia (or receive calls from there) while roaming, activate the “Zero without Borders” option for 145 rubles/day;
  • If you want to send messages, activate the “SMS packages when traveling around the world” service: for 250 rubles you will receive a set of 50 text messages.

4. Beeline

Let's continue to look for the most favorable tariff from operators for a phone in roaming, among offers from Beeline:

  • The “All for 1800 + roaming” tariff of 15 GB of traffic (you can access the network abroad), as well as 3000 minutes and 3000 SMS (only within Russia) is popular. Its price is 1800 rubles/month;
  • If you need Unlimited access to the World Wide Web while roaming, the cost of the option is 350 rubles per day (you will only pay on days of use);
  • There is a special option that gives per-minute billing in roaming (incoming and outgoing). A minute of conversation will cost 30 rubles;

5. Megaphone

  • To save on incoming charges while roaming, you can activate the “Whole World” option for 109 rubles/day.

Brief summary:

  1. Our analysis clearly demonstrates that the most unfavorable conditions for roaming are with the cellular operator Yota;
  2. MTS has the most available options; we recommend their famous “Zabugorische” tariff (450 rubles/day) - you receive not only calls, but also traffic under the terms of the native package;
  3. The mobile operator Megafon has an analogue of “Zabugorischa” from MTS - “Roaming, goodbye”, but it is 100 rubles cheaper;
  4. Beeline also has good offers;
  5. The mobile operator Tele 2 has a good option to reduce incoming costs while roaming (5 rubles/day)

We choose a mobile operator with the most “unlimited” Unlimited!

Finally, we got to the “delicious” part - after all, the Internet today plays a dominant role for many subscribers when choosing a tariff. Most users do not need any messages or calls from a mobile operator at all - after all, modern online messengers, for example, WhatsApp, allow you to text and call each other absolutely free. Only traffic is consumed, which is why offers with Unlimited Internet access are so in demand today.

Let's determine which operator has the most favorable traffic tariff - let's find the most “unlimited” Unlimited among the offers of 5 leading Russian providers.

1.Yota

2. Tele 2

  • The absolute hit of the mobile operator today is the “My Unlimited” tariff. For 500 rubles per month you get unlimited traffic, 500 minutes of calls to third-party networks and 50 SMS;
  • Offers from the “My Online” and “My Online +” lines are also worthy of attention. Let us remind you that they are customizable, that is, you can choose the desired content yourself. Here you can set the required number of free minutes for calls to third-party operators and up to 40 GB of traffic. As a bonus, you get Unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers, but YouTube is not among them. Cost – 400-1000 rubles/month.
  • “My Unlimited” is an excellent option both in terms of content and cost. In our opinion, at this point Yota is inferior to Tele 2 for the first time.

3. MTS

  • And again we mention the famous Tariffishche tariff - for 650 rubles you will have access to full Unlimited network access. Additionally, you will receive 500 SMS and minutes (can be increased);
  • There is another very cool package - “X”. It provides 7 GB of traffic to sites, as well as Unlimited to all instant messengers, social networks, hosting, and popular online games. YouTube is one of the “nice things to do.” Additionally, you will receive 100 minutes of calls with other mobile operators, 200 SMS, 44 TV channels - and all this for only 500 rubles/month.
  • MTS is a worthy competitor to Tele 2, but it still left restrictions on sites. But the mentioned competitor for the same 500 rubles allows you to download movies online and download from torrents.

4. Beeline

  • This cellular operator has an offer called “Unlim” - subscribers receive access to the network without restrictions at maximum speed, 500 minutes per month for calls with other cellular operators, as well as the ability to distribute traffic for free for 1 hour. The cost of the package is 20 rubles/day or 600 rubles/month.
  • Please note that Beeline again shows itself as an original mobile operator with a non-standard service in the package. The ability to give away gigabytes is cool, even if only for 60 minutes for free.

5. Megaphone

  • “Turn on! Communicate” - there are no restrictions on instant messengers and social networks (without YouTube), if you activate the “Unlimited Internet” option (free), you will receive unlimited traffic (if not, then 15 GB) and 600 minutes for calls. Price – 600 rubles/month;
  • “Turn on! Write” - for 400 rubles/month you will receive 5 GB, no restrictions on instant messengers, 300 SMS and minutes each.;

  • We have mentioned two of the best deals from the “Turn On” line, the rest are more expensive due to more free minutes and other options. Please note that all “Turn On” tariffs offer either Unlimited Internet access (when you activate a special free option) or unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers;
  • This makes Megafon a leader among its main competitors - Beeline and MTS.

As promised, we provide a table with a comparison of tariffs all the operators described above. To download it, just click on the button below:

Our general conclusion for the section is as follows:

  • The cheapest Unlimited option is from the mobile operator Tele 2, but its connection quality and speed are slightly worse;
  • More variety and better prices(subject to excellent speed) - from Megafon;
  • The coolest content of the tariff with Unlimited Internet is from Beeline;
  • A plus for the MTS operator for the fact that “Tariffishe” is a customizable tariff - it is more suitable for those users who value both unlimited traffic and a large package with minutes for calls with other mobile operators.

So, we have finished our grand review and now, finally, the moment has come to reveal the most favorable tariff for a smartphone in Russia.

It is difficult to give a definite answer, because tariffs are divided into groups depending on needs, so it is incorrect to compare them all with each other.

Well, for example, a bare tariff with per-second billing (without traffic and other options) cannot be put on the same level as a comprehensive package that includes everything possible. At the same time, there are clients who will call “Per Second” the coolest tariff of the cellular operator and vice versa.

To better understand what we mean, try comparing shoes: winter Timberlands and elegant summer sandals, or formal office pumps and beach slates.

Based on all the materials presented in the article, we made the following conclusions:

  1. When choosing between Yota and Tele 2, we recommend the first. It is more flexible in configuration, more concise, and in most cases its services are cheaper;
  2. The communication quality of MTS, Beeline and Megafon is approximately the same. Prices also overlap almost everywhere;
  3. If you are a fan of additional options, look at the offers from MTS and Beeline;
  4. Like original ideas, which are not found in other mobile operators? Study Beeline tariffs;
  5. In our opinion, the most best conditions for a smartphone in roaming – from MTS and Megafon;
  6. Mobile operator Megafon is the leader in filling tariffs with Unlimited Internet.

Thanks to the effective development of mobile networks in the Russian Federation, we have one of the most low prices on the Internet in the world. The only problem for a long time there was the fact that there was no unlimited Internet access from mobile devices. But the situation has changed, so we have prepared an article that will help you choose the best tariff for mobile Internet among the current offers of domestic operators.

Unlimited tariffs by operator

Leading mobile operators in at the moment are engaged in introducing and promoting their own unlimited tariff plans for smartphones, but in their conditions you can often find a number of pitfalls that you should be aware of when connecting. In particular, some tariffs, promoted as unlimited, provide unlimited access to only some resources and services, or limit the connection speed after using a certain amount of traffic.

MTS - Tariffishche

The tariff from MTS is a customizable tariff plan, in any configuration of which there is unlimited Internet. The tariff settings only affect the volume of minutes and the number of SMS, and to get unlimited it is enough to connect the cheapest option, the cost of which is 650 rubles (+/- 150 rubles, depending on the region), which is quite good for such an offer.

But there are also disadvantages - MTS is prohibited from distributing Internet access when Wi-Fi assistance, the inability to use this tariff via a modem and download torrents. There is also a traffic restriction when traveling outside the home region. Read a detailed analysis of the Tariff in the corresponding section.

MTS - Tariff X

Despite the fact that tariff X (formerly MTS Hype) is not unlimited, and the amount of traffic provided per month is limited to 7 GB, for most users it will be quite enough, since tariff X provides unlimited access to the most popular services.

The monthly fee for the tariff is about 500 rubles (+/- 150 rubles, depending on the region). In addition to the Internet, this tariff offers the subscriber 100 minutes of calls, 200 SMS and access to 44 TV channels. It is also worth noting that calls to MTS mobile numbers remain free even after the end of the 100-minute package, and calls to numbers of other operators in your home region begin to be charged at 2 rubles per minute. Read more about MTS X.

Megafon - tariffs of the Get Involved line

Turn on is a line of several tariffs, conditionally divided by purpose. For example, for lovers of communication, the “Turn On! Speak”, which provides unlimited access to the most popular instant messengers, 1000 minutes of calls on the mobile network, as well as 5 GB of traffic. Megafon also has tariffs with unlimited Internet access.

  • Promotional tariff “Turn on! Communicate" At the time of writing this article, it is available for connection only when purchasing a new Megafon SIM card. For 450 rubles per month (the cost may vary for different regions), the subscriber receives unlimited Internet, licensed ESET NOD32 antivirus and 1000 minutes of calls.
  • Promotional tariff “Turn on! Look". The conditions are similar to the Communicate version, however, the free talk time is 1200 minutes, the monthly fee is 600 rubles, and the subscriber can also watch more than fifty TV channels.
  • “Turn on! Look+" is an option available to all Megafon users. Provides 2000 minutes of talk time, unlimited Internet access, more than fifty TV channels and the Amediateka package. The monthly fee is 900 rubles per month.
  • “Turn on! Premium" - unlimited Internet, 4000 minutes of calls, 4 movies, more than 100 TV channels, Amediateka package. Monthly fee - 1900 rubles.

The rest of the tariffs in the Turn On line provide unlimited access to only some services, while all other activities on the network consume traffic.

TELE 2

The tariff from Tele2 with unlimited Internet is a completely basic solution for this operator. For 450 rubles in the tariff, the subscriber receives unlimited Internet access, unlimited calls to Tele 2 Russia numbers, as well as 500 minutes to other numbers in the Russian Federation and 50 SMS, again, to numbers in Russia.

It would seem that this is the most ordinary tariff, but at least two interesting features attract attention:

  • Trial (free) period of use - 2 weeks.
  • SOS package is a service that allows you to use some applications even with a zero balance. This package includes WhatApp, Yandex.Navigator, Yandex.Maps, and Yandex.Transport.

The SOS package is a very convenient function. Probably, many of the readers of this article have found themselves in situations where they would not refuse such an opportunity.

BeeLine

Beeline provides its subscribers with the opportunity to connect to the Unlim tariff, the name of which speaks for itself. Beeline Unlim is somewhat different from the offers of other operators described above. For example, here the subscription fee is charged daily and amounts to 20 rubles. It is also worth noting that by default the operator limits the download speed of streaming (online) video to 1 Mbit/s, and to deactivate this limitation you need to connect to the HD video service, the use of which will cost the subscriber another 3 rubles per 1 day.

In addition to unlimited Internet, the Unlim tariff provides the user with 500 minutes of calls; SMS messages are paid separately and cost 2 rubles/piece in the home region and 5 rubles/piece outside of it.

Choosing the best tariff

Since in 2019 there are no problems with changing operators while maintaining the number, all leading companies are in too tough competition to do badly. There is no point in talking about problems with the signal or lack of network, since in most cities there have been no problems with either 4G Internet or calls for a long time.

In terms of the ratio of price and received traffic/minutes, the best offer is My Unlimited from Tele2, which is the most economical option. It is followed by Tariffishche from MTS, this tariff plan costs 150 rubles more, but provides more SMS, and a larger number of familiar subscribers who use MTS services can also play in favor of choosing the red ones. And the least interesting options, in our opinion, are offers from MegaFon and Beeline, which are more expensive and have more various restrictions.

Conclusion

To summarize, we can safely say that it is enough for the subscriber to focus on the conditions described on the official websites of the companies. All pitfalls (spontaneously connecting services and strange write-offs) are easily monitored and eliminated through online customer self-service services. Unlimited mobile internet in 2019, this is a convenient and irreplaceable thing, and healthy competition in the cellular communications market only improves the situation, creating massive disputes about which tariff is the best, which everyone decides for themselves.

Starting from mid-August 2018, Russian mobile operators decided to return unlimited Internet access.

We decided to analyze the current tariffs and figure out what and how much. The main thing that interests us is the availability of unlimited access to the network.

Megaphone

The operator offers two tariff plans with complete unlimited.

Tariff Get involved! Communicate. Will cost 650 rub. per month service. Provides 700 prepaid minutes for calls to local mobile numbers and any numbers in Russia. Calls to MegaFon numbers within Russia are free.

The Internet in the Home region is unlimited, and for trips within Russia there are 15 GB traffic for a month.

As a bonus, the operator offers the MegaFon.TV service and two films for rent as a gift (monthly). Additionally, ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus (free) with the Anti-Theft function is provided.

Tariff Get involved! Look. Tariff cost 800 rub. per month service.

Difference with the tariff Get Involved! Chat in more prepaid minutes for calls to local mobile numbers and any numbers in Russia - 850 min, 20 GB traffic for the Internet in Russia (outside the Home region).

In the MegaFon.TV service you can rent 4 films monthly for free. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is also offered free of charge.

Additionally, MegaFon offers seven more tariffs, in which unlimited Internet is segmented by specific services: video hosting, streaming platforms, social networks and instant messengers.

Verdict: Two unlimited tariffs for 650 and 800 rubles. per month. Don’t forget about unlimited internet only in your home region.

Beeline

Beeline representatives promised to introduce a completely independent tariff with unlimited Internet in September.

For now, it is available exclusively as an option for “EVERYTHING” tariffs (unlimited is not yet available for other Beeline tariffs)

This option can only be activated in the operator’s service showrooms. USSD commands and self-connection not yet provided. Connection is free. The main thing is not to forget to take your passport with you.

Verdict: There is unlimited, but you can connect it only in a communication salon and only on EVERYTHING tariffs.

Tele2

Tele2 is a relatively new member of the “Big Four” Russian operators. But it is already trying to adhere to the general trend and offer its subscribers unlimited Internet tariffs.

True, Tele2 is not doing very well yet.

Just a disclaimer: Tele2 does not have complete unlimited. There are four tariffs with a price from 200 to 700 rub. per month with traffic volume from 2 GB to 30 GB, unlimited social networks and messengers.

But full unlimited Internet can only be used at night (from 00:00 to 06:59), and even then you will have to purchase one of the additional packages. For 999 rubles/month you will get unlimited data at night and 50 GB of traffic for use during the day; for 699 rubles/month - 20 GB of traffic.

Verdict: For unlimited internet, come at night and for an additional fee.

MTS

MTS was one of the first to launch a tariff with truly unlimited Internet. The result was not a tariff, but a “Tariffishche”.

For 650 rub. per month you receive 500 min. for calls, 500 SMS and unlimited internet at any time of the day without any restrictions in your home region.

Outside the home region, active Internet users should note that only 500 MB per day is available without speed limits. Then the speed is adjusted to 128 Kbps until the end of the calendar day.

The cost of the Tariffishche tariff package differs only in the number of prepaid minutes. The most affordable option will cost 650 rubles/month, the most expensive - 1550 rubles/month for 3 thousand minutes.

Verdict: Full unlimited, regardless of location in Russia, from 650 rubles/month.

Yota

Yota does not offer tariff plans with unlimited Internet for private users. But for business - please.

The Business -> Smartphone tariff includes five tariff plans, differing in the number of minutes per number (from 300 to 3,000 minutes). The cost of tariffs varies from 490 to 1890 rubles. for a month of service.

In all these tariffs, access to the Internet and calls between Yota subscribers are free. One of the advantages of Yota over other mobile operators is the absence of the concept of “Home Region”. That is, unlimited access to the network is available from anywhere in Russia (of course, where there is coverage).

Verdict: Good unlimited internet, but only for business.

Modern mobile operators are constantly in competition for the number of subscribers, on which the company's direct profit depends. Today, tariffs that include some degree of unlimited communication, be it calls, traffic or SMS messages, are popular among the majority of mobile network users. Share - because absolutely any tariff offer is still limited by some quotas, albeit difficult to achieve for the average user. Otherwise, service prices would be simply astronomically high. And so, each operator strives to make its own profit and not to offend subscribers. Understand wide range modern unlimited tariffs are not easy, so we decided to analyze the most popular unlimited tariffs in Russia and determine which of them could be the most profitable for you.

Unlimited communication

Let's start with tariff offers that guarantee unlimited calls. They should be divided into two categories:

  • implying unlimited within the Network only in the home region,
  • offering unlimited intranet throughout Russia.

Not a single mobile operator releases tariff offers. In which it would be possible to freely communicate with clients of other operators in our country, or users of city landline phones.

There are tariffs that provide certain packages for any calls within Russia, but usually these packages are not large and do not meet the needs of even the average user.

Almost all major cellular companies in the Russian Federation have tariffs that offer unlimited calls to subscribers of the same mobile operator. Beeline has a line of tariff plans “Everything!”, in which local intranet communication is not charged at all, MegaFon has a line of “Turn on”, the pricing policy of which also does not imply payment for calls to “friends”, and those located not only in the SIM registration area. maps, but also beyond its borders throughout Russia. MTS also offers convenient “Smart” tariff plans, each of which, regardless of the size of the packages of other services, includes free minutes for outgoing calls to MTS subscribers in the home zone, without charging. At Tele2 and Yota, almost all descriptions of tariff offers begin with the column “Unlimited calls within the network.”

How to choose the best unlimited calls?

First of all, you need to decide which unlimited limit will suit you. If, for example, most of your friends, relatives, and other people with whom you call use the same mobile operator that you like, then choose the tariff of this company without hesitation. Significant savings on local calls will be noticeable already in the first month of use.

If your smartphone's call log contains information about outgoing calls to subscribers of different mobile operators in equal quantities, then you should pay attention to those tariffs that also include large packages for calls.

In this regard, mobile communication companies have everything perfectly thought out: the larger the package of outgoing minutes, the larger the accompanying package of Internet traffic, and, accordingly, the higher the price.

The ratio of packages in unlimited tariffs for different operators is different. But, according to our calculations, the most profitable among all is the Smart tariff from MTS. It includes unlimited communication with MTS Russian Federation subscribers, a package of 550 minutes for other calls throughout the country, 5 GB of traffic and 550 SMS. The connection is free, the subscription fee is charged monthly in the amount of 500 rubles.

Tariffs with unlimited Internet

If the connection itself is not as important to you as unlimited Internet, then you should consider tariffs that provide for non-standardized traffic.

Beeline has three tariffs that provide unlimited Internet, and the most successful among them is the “Everything is possible” tariff. In addition to unlimited traffic, this offer provides absolutely free calls within the network throughout Russia, plus packages for outgoing connections with subscriber numbers of other operators. There are several pitfalls: firstly, a ban on the use of torrents, and secondly, a ban on distributing traffic to other devices.

That is, the tariff is beneficial only for use on your own device, and only if it mobile phone, not a tablet.

The popular MTS “Unlimited” tariff had a similar principle; today the terms of the tariff do not imply unlimited access to the network at all. The same is true with unlimited tariffs from Yota and Tele2: they are also based on the principle of individual use.

The choice of such a conditionally unlimited tariff should be based primarily on your main location. Even with all the conditions of almost complete coverage of the Russian Federation zone mobile networks, there is a possibility that the SIM card of one or another mobile operator will not provide Internet at high speed.
