The cheapest connection to a mobile operator. Mobile Internet of which operator to choose - video. Offer from Megafon
What is the cheapest Beeline tariff? All the operator’s clients have asked this question more than once. Of course, there is no cheapest one. But some have very favorable prices, which were developed based on the needs of each person.
Some subscribers practically do not use communication services, therefore, they do not need either SMS packages or unlimited Internet. Someone, on the contrary, actively communicates and, if possible, uses all possible bonuses. The Beeline operator tries to find its own individual approach to each client.
For those who call only on business
For subscribers who practically do not use communication services and make extremely short calls, the cheapest tariff is “Per Second”.
This is the operator's only tariff plan that provides per-second billing for local calls. For a second of conversation, 5 kopecks are charged - quite a bit for those who make only short calls. Calls within Russia are also profitable - 3.90 rubles. per minute of conversation. The big advantage is that the cost is the same for outgoing calls to phones of all operators.
If you call only to Beeline
Subscribers who call only Beeline phones will undoubtedly appreciate it.
This tariff plan allows the operator’s subscribers to make profitable calls to Beeline numbers: the fee is charged only for the first minute of the call and amounts to 1.3 rubles. In fact this means that the cost of the entire conversation will cost a little more than a ruble. It's hard to imagine cheaper cellular communications. In addition, subscribers are automatically connected to the services “I have a contact” and a package for 100 SMS. But such conditions will seem beneficial only to those who do not call numbers of other operators: a minute of conversation with them will cost 2.3 rubles.
International calls
Some subscribers specifically get a separate Beeline SIM card and transfer it to in order to make profitable calls abroad.
On this tariff plan, you can use the “Calls within the tariff” option and make free calls to Beeline numbers that have switched to “Welcome!” Calls to any cell phones in your home area will cost 1.7 rubles. per minute of conversation, and throughout Russia - 2.5 rubles.
“Welcome” would not stand out in any way if it were not for the cheap rates for calls to other countries. For example, you can call Beeline numbers in Armenia, Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan for only 3.5 rubles. per minute, and for communication with China, 3 rubles per minute will be debited from the phone account. Subscribers are automatically connected to the “Calls within the tariff” and “Stay in the know+” services.
"ALL!"
Of course, when talking about the operator’s favorable tariffs, one cannot forget about the “EVERYTHING!” line.
This line includes tariffs, and. They are all similar and include a specific set of services and are suitable for subscribers who actively use calls, SMS messages and the Internet.
For the amount indicated in the name of the tariff, the subscriber receives per month:
- Free calls to Beeline numbers in Russia;
- A certain number of minutes for calls to all operators in the home area;
- Free SMS package. The terms of the package depend on the selected tariff. This can be 300 messages in your home area, and 500 in your region to mobile subscribers of any operators + throughout the country to Beeline phones.
- Free Internet traffic or unlimited. The conditions for providing the Internet also depend on the tariff you choose.
On all tariffs of the “EVERYTHING!” line, except for “EVERYTHING for 300”, both prepaid and postpaid payment systems are available.
Due to the fact that society has long moved into the era of high-tech devices that are designed to transmit information between interacting devices, specialized solutions from leading telecommunications companies are constantly appearing. In particular, each subscriber needs to select the appropriate tariff plan that will be the most profitable for him.
In order to solve this problem, you should carefully approach the choice of a cellular operator. At the moment, there are several corporations that occupy leading positions. These include the companies “”, and “” (“”). And in order for the corresponding subscriber to choose the most profitable solution, it is necessary to understand the offers of the above-presented corporations using a comparison method. Accordingly, the main criterion in the evaluation approach will be the cost of a particular service.
Based on the fact that at a given time each telecommunications company has a sufficient supply of tariffs and services, the optimality assessment will be carried out in the following sections:
1. Calls within the network.
2. Calls to subscribers of other operators.
3. -messages.
4. Mobile Internet.
Let's start the analysis from the first point of the criteria presented above. The MegaFon company offers its subscribers the “Switch to 0” tariff, which allows you to communicate within the network absolutely free, but only 30 minutes a day. However, in order to achieve this, you need to speak 5 minutes a day, the price of which is 3.5 rubles. The tariff does not require a subscription fee and offers a fairly profitable solution. You receive an on-net conditional unlimited limit that applies to calls throughout Russia.
The MTS company has a similar tariff called “Super MTS”. In order to communicate for free within the network, you need to top up your account in the amount of 400 rubles. After this, the subscriber gets the opportunity to communicate within the network for an hour a day for free with MTS numbers in both the home region and across Russia, as well as with landline phones in the home region. This tariff does not provide for a subscription fee.
The last operator in this category is Beeline. This mobile operator offers the “Zero Doubts” tariff, which allows, when replenishing a subscriber’s account in the amount of 390 rubles or more, 60 free minutes within the network per day for 30 days. At the same time, you can call both home numbers and throughout Russia. This tariff does not provide for a subscription fee.
In the next stage of the analysis, it is necessary to combine criteria such as calls to numbers of other operators, SMS messages and mobile Internet, since mobile operators provide the most profitable solutions in the form of tariffs with a subscription fee (in package mode).
The MTS company offers its subscribers to connect to tariffs called “Everything you need for 500 rubles/month,” “Everything you need for 1000 rubles/month.” The first tariff provides 300 minutes per month for calls to all cellular operators in the home region and to MTS in Russia, an unlimited number of SMS to MTS subscribers in the home region, 30 free messages per day to numbers of other operators and unlimited Internet. The second tariff differs from the first only in that it provides 900 minutes for calls. The subscription fee for the above options is 500 and 1000 rubles, respectively.
For the Beeline company, within the framework of these criteria, things are as follows: there are also tariffs with a subscription fee, which are called “All Inclusive M”, “All Inclusive L” and “All Inclusive XXL”. “All Inclusive M” provides a package within which it is possible to communicate for 150 minutes for free with Beeline numbers both in your home region and throughout Russia, with numbers of other operators. In addition, subscribers receive 30 free SMS messages to numbers of other operators in their home region and free SMS to Beeline numbers throughout Russia. As for the Internet, it becomes unlimited and spreads throughout Russia. The other two tariffs differ in that “All Inclusive L” has 360 minutes and 3000 SMS messages, and “All Inclusive XXL” has 900 minutes and 3000 SMS messages. The subscription fee for the three tariffs presented above is 300, 600 and 1000 rubles, respectively.
The MegaFon company also provides similar tariffs, which are similar to those offered by the Beeline operator. The tariffs are called “MegaFon - All Inclusive S”, “MegaFon - All Inclusive M” and “MegaFon - All Inclusive L”. The first tariff involves a package that includes 500 free minutes to numbers in the home region of both your network and the networks of other operators, as well as throughout Russia. In addition, it becomes possible to send 500 free SMS messages, which work according to the scheme described a little above. And accordingly, mobile Internet becomes unlimited. The other two tariffs differ from the previous one in that the package includes 1000 and 1500 free minutes and messages. The subscription fee for using the above services of this cellular operator is 500, 1000 and 1500 rubles, respectively.
As a result of the analysis, it is almost impossible to say unambiguously which cellular operator may be the most attractive for a current or potential subscriber. Since each subscriber calculates his financial capabilities and communication needs based on expediency and benefits, respectively. But, despite this, we can single out the MegaFon company as the most economical cellular operator in terms of spending material resources of subscribers.
Due to the fact that we have not yet achieved a specific answer: “Which cellular operator in Moscow and the Moscow region is the best, and which is the worst?”, a more complete analysis should be carried out, which will take into account a number of other factors that will be considered in the following articles.

In order to choose the best and most profitable tariff from a mobile operator, most often, no need to change your usual phone number. It is enough to familiarize yourself with the tariff parameters of your telecom operator and simply switch to a new one... or stay with what you have. However, it also doesn’t hurt to “refresh” the prices of your current tariff plan, because while you were busy with more important things for yourself, your operator could have “corrected” them long ago, and you were unlikely to receive an SMS about the deplorable changes. First you must remember or find out “what is my tariff”:
How to find out your tariff:
- MTS: *111*59# [call]
- Beeline: *110*05# [call]
- Megaphone:
*105*2*0# [call] (Central branch)
*225# [call] (Ural branch, section “Your tariff”)
*160# [call] (Volga region branch)
*105*1*3# [call] (Siberian branch)
*105*1*1# [call] (Caucasian branch)
Or call your carrier's customer service line.
Analysis of current expenses
So, we will assume that you have already looked at the prices of your own operator’s tariff plans and competitors’ offers, and also did not forget to carefully read the small, hard-to-read footnotes under them. What to do next? Next, you should familiarize yourself with your current expenses at least for the last three months. To do this, I recommend ordering monthly invoices and itemized expenses for a specified period of time to your e-mail. This is done using “personal accounts” available from each mobile operator:
- MTS: Internet Assistant (also available through “Personal Account”)
- Beeline: Service management system
- MegaFon: Service Guide
- Sky Link: Skypoint
- Matrix: MATRIX open
Having received the password to your operator’s “personal account” and ordered the necessary documents, we carefully and scrupulously study them. Perhaps this will already be enough for you to understand the reason for the extra spending. For example, in the details you may find some paid SMS subscriptions imposed on you or mysterious outgoing calls to short numbers (example). If so, knock by all available means to your operator’s contact center, demand to disable subscriptions (for MTS subscribers, subscriptions are disabled independently through the “My Subscriptions” service) and return all your money back. Sometimes it helps. If you have no problems with this, and your current tariff is really outdated and requires replacement, move on to the next step.
Calculation of the average cost per minute of conversation
This is the key point of our article. Many (if not most) subscribers simply do not know how to choose a tariff, guided by data from unfair advertising or information on the packaging of the tariff itself.
Remember! It is important to know and analyze not the cost of any one call, but the average cost per minute based on all calls for at least one, and preferably three months.
We take the monthly bill and add up the number of all outgoing minutes. Then we look at the figure for your expenses and subtract from it the costs of all non-voice services, with the exception of services that reduce the cost of calls. If your monthly fee also includes packages of non-voice services (SMS, Internet), approximately (by eye) subtract their cost from it, focusing on the average market price of such packages. Next, we divide the remaining costs for calls of a specific period by the number of outgoing minutes called and get cost per minute.
Example:
Your bill for the month was 200 rubles. Of these, 100 rubles. spent on calls, 30 rubles. - monthly fee for “favorite number” and 70 rubles. you spent on the Internet and messages. At the same time, we talked for 100 outgoing minutes. Total, 200 - 70 rubles. = 130 rub. / 100 minutes = 1.3 rub./minute.
Thus, we get a rough picture of the cost per minute based on one or more months. And it doesn’t matter that a single call on such and such a date cost you 30-40 rubles, but you could save on a dozen others, and overall your tariff is very profitable. The main thing is what this cost per minute is and how satisfied you are with it. According to current realities, I advise you to definitely look for a replacement tariff plan if the cost of one minute at a relatively active communication it turns out over 1.5 rub. It is expensive.
If, after such calculations, you realized that your tariff is too wasteful, and waste has been exceeding reasonable limits for several months, you should figure out which of the tariffs available for switching is closest to your communication profile and then arm yourself with Excel. I’ll tell you how this is done using the example of MTS’s own “Long Conversations” tariff and I’ll try to calculate whether I should change it to the Red Energy TP.
Example:
So, I doubt the profitability of my Long Conversations tariff plan, and I want to understand whether the Red Energy tariff will be cheaper for me. Based on detailed analysis, I know that on average (most of the time) I make local outgoing calls of 7 minutes, mostly to mobile phones. At the same time, I have an option enabled that reduces the cost of calls “Better Together,” which makes it possible to communicate within an MTS group at 7 kopecks per minute for a monthly fee of 45 rubles. per month. When switching to Red Energy, this option will remain, so I don’t take it into account. I am only comparing the cost of all other local calls to mobile numbers on two tariffs for the average duration of calls that happen to me most often. In the table below I have calculated total cost talk time for calls of 5, 10 and 15 minutes to cellular networks and compared it with our two tariffs. Please note that I deliberately did not compare the price of a 1-minute call, because... According to statistics, such calls happen quite rarely and it is logical that occasionally overpay the difference of 1.8 rubles. It will be much less expensive than often overpaying much more significant amounts during long conversations. Screenshot of calculations in Excel:
So, from the table we clearly see that the price of any of the three calls on Long Conversations will be more profitable for me than on Red Energy, even after MTS spoiled Long Conversations. In this case, Red Energy will not be saved by per-second billing from the 2nd minute of a call versus per minute for “Long Conversations”. The resulting cost of calls in the table above is highlighted in red. It's not hard to understand that cost per minute at “Long Conversations” there will be for me lower than at Red Energy. For example, with 5 minutes of communication it will be 1.66 rubles, and with a 10-minute conversation - only 88 kopecks. And together with “Better Together” I will get the cost per minute even lower. Plus, sometimes you can connect for 10 rubles. per day “Unlimited calls” within the network. Therefore, the price of the first minute of conversation is quite high - 3.7 rubles. in this case, I shouldn’t be put off.
Conclusion: We are not changing the tariff and will remain on “Long Conversations” for now.
Moral of the story
This is mine model for calculating the profitability of tariff proposals. Its key is the cost of the average minute of your communication. It is worth relying on. Of course, there are now many different tariffs, there are also a lot of communication profiles, and we shouldn’t forget about additional services. But, having understood the essence, I think you can calculate (of course, approximately) the profitability of almost any offer by comparing it with others.
If you actively use additional services, such as SMS, mobile Internet or long-distance communication, and in your monthly bill/details the costs for them exceed reasonable limits, I advise you to take a closer look at various tariffs with packages of the options you need already included in the subscription fee or mandatory monthly payment and preliminarily calculate future expenses for them according to a similar scheme, comparing them with current ones.
Operators also have many packages, unlimited options and bonus programs that will significantly reduce your total monthly bill, albeit for an additional subscription fee. Don't be afraid of the subscriber, sometimes it will only do you good!
With unlimited tariffs (or pseudo-unlimited ones with restrictions of 2-3 thousand minutes per month) it’s even easier. If you communicate a lot, it is enough to compare Will the monthly fee for such a tariff be lower than your current expenses or not?. Plus, don’t forget about additional options. And everything will fall into place.
Remember, no one can find you a good, profitable, cheap cellular tariff better than you yourself. And this is your money!
