1. "Tele 2";
2. Yota;
3. Beeline;
4. "Megaphone".

This rating of Russian cellular operators 2017 is an excellent confirmation that the cellular company we are considering enjoys the favor of subscribers. The secret lies in multi-level work to increase sales, the quality of services provided and the level of customer service.

Significant rating indicators

Roskomnadzor regularly examines the quality of services of cellular companies. After all, it is not enough to simply announce the introduction of the latest developments; it is also necessary to ensure an acceptable level. The rating of mobile operators in Russia 2017 includes the four leading cellular providers in Russia.

The best provider of cellular communication services in terms of ensuring its quality was Megafon (0.7% of failures). In second place is MTS - 0.8. The most negative impression from this position was formed about the cellular company Beeline, which has a record number of unsuccessful connection attempts - 15.1%. The difference between it and the operator positioned above (Tele2) is 12.6 times (1.2% of failures).

Based on the actual speed of the mobile Internet, the best results are demonstrated by the same Megafon (13.1 Mbit/s). Behind it are MTS (10.1 Mbit/s), Tele2 (9.4 Mbit/s) and Beeline (5 Mbit/s).

The only thing the latest cellular provider was able to do well in was short messages (100% delivered). Megafon did not receive 1.7%, Tele2 - 1.2%, MTS - 2.4%.

Since Yota is not a full-fledged operator and does not have its own towers, Roskomnadzor does not consider the company as a player in the communications industry and does not include it in the rating. In its work, Yota rents capacity from the Big Four, actually reselling it under its own brand and at its own tariffs. The quality of the communication provided largely depends on the equipment you purchase. According to user reviews, the leader is the Yota b 135 Internet center, and the Yota Many router has the worst reception. The rest depends on the signal level of the tower, which does not belong to Iota. So, thanks to the specifics of the work, Iota always wins.

Based on the profitability of a particular offer for Russian residents, we can compile the following rating of mobile operators. Tele2 has good tariffs: “My Conversation” and “My Tele2”, which provide excellent conditions for communication within the network. If you often communicate with subscribers of other operators, the most appropriate offers are from Tele2 and MTS - “My Online” and “Smart Unlimited”, respectively. Better conditions for roaming they are shown by Tele2, Beeline and MTS. The most profitable Internet in terms of cost and quality is available from Megafon and Tele2.

Summary data of the rating of mobile operators

If we talk about Yota, then it is not possible to highlight the cost, since the operator has made the total services in terms of traffic volume and calls dependent on the price.

Possible fare combinations

You can pay additionally:

• VKontakte, Instagram, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Twitter – 25 rub. unlimited;
• Viber, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram – 15 rubles;
• Unlimited SMS - 50 rub.

As for the amount of coverage, no best performance Tele2 demonstrates from this position. If we talk about the situation as a whole, then mobile companies provided decent coverage of the territory of Russia.

For a long time, there were no offers on the cellular communications market with unlimited Internet without restrictions on traffic and speed. Once upon a time, almost all operators had similar offers, but over time they became unavailable for connection and unlimited Internet without any restrictions became something unrealistic. In 2016, subscribers finally had the opportunity to use the mobile Internet without worrying about the amount of traffic spent. At first, this opportunity was provided by the Yota operator, and then unlimited Internet appeared at Beeline, MTS and MegaFon.

When we say unlimited, we mean that there are no restrictions on the speed and volume of traffic consumed. Operators also call unlimited those offers that include a certain traffic package, after which, after exhaustion, the speed of Internet access drops. It turns out that the subscriber actually receives unlimited Internet, but it is of little use, since after using up the available traffic package, the speed will drop to an extremely low value.

As part of this review, we will look at tariffs and options that provide unlimited mobile Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. Yota, Beeline, MTS and MegaFon currently have such offers. We will do detailed review all proposals and will try to determine the best. It is now quite possible to connect to unlimited Internet, but you should not hope that it will be the same as before. Unfortunately, there were no restrictions at all.

Unlimited Internet on Beeline

For a long time, unlimited mobile Internet was available only from the Yota operator, but it does not have such a large customer base as Beeline, MegaFon and MTS, and therefore there was not much noise around this offer, although it also deserves attention and we will return to it later . As for the big three, Beeline was the first to offer unlimited Internet. Postpaid tariffs of the “Everything” line include mobile Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. Postpaid tariffs differ from prepaid ones in that they provide the opportunity to first use communication services and then pay. Most often, you can switch to such tariffs at the Beeline office. Unlimited Beeline Internet on postpaid “Everything” tariffs is available as part of a promotion that has been extended several times and is still valid to this day.

Beeline decided not to stop at postpaid tariffs with unlimited mobile Internet and opened the “#EVERYTHING” tariff plan for connection, which provides for an advance payment method. There is also a tariff plan with unlimited Internet for tablets. So far, Beeline has three active offers with unlimited Internet.

• Tariffs “Everything” postpaid;
• Tariff “Everything is possible”;
• Tariff “Unlimited for tablet”.

Tariffs have a number of differences and features, so you should consider them separately.

Postpaid tariffs “Everything” with unlimited internet

Postpaid tariffs of the “Everything” line differ in the size of the subscription fee and the volume of service packages, but they all provide unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. The most popular is. We have already done a detailed review of this tariff plan and recommend that you familiarize yourself with it. Here we present brief information according to the tariff.

The “All for 500” postpaid tariff includes:

• Monthly subscription fee - 500 rubles;
• Unlimited calls to Beeline numbers throughout Russia;
• 600 minutes for calls to numbers of other operators;
• 300 SMS messages;
• Unlimited Internet with unlimited traffic quota.

As you can see, in addition to unlimited Internet, the tariff plan provides unlimited calls to Beeline numbers at home and when traveling around Russia, as well as impressive packages of minutes and SMS. All this is wonderful, but there are some pitfalls here. The subscriber actually gets the opportunity to use the Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas, but subject to certain conditions.

“Everything” postpaid tariffs are characterized by the following features:

1. If a phone with a SIM card is used as a modem or Wi-Fi hotspot, Internet access is limited. The restrictions are comparable to a complete shutdown of the Internet.
2. The tariff plan cannot be used on modems, routers, or even tablets. Unlimited mobile internet is available only for phones.
3. The tariff provides for a speed limit for downloading from file-sharing networks. That is, you will not be able to download files through torrent clients.
4. In a document with detailed description tariff plan, you can find a clause that states that the operator does not guarantee Internet speed in case of network load. In fact, at any time your network access speed can be reduced and you will be referred to this point.
5. On tariffs of the “Everything” line with a postpaid payment system, the “Internet for everything” service is not available. Let us remind you that this service is intended for distributing the Internet to other subscribers (not via Wi-Fi).

Undoubtedly, the shortcomings are very significant and greatly spoil the impression of the tariff. However, Beeline has other offers with unlimited Internet, although they are also far from ideal.

Tariff “#everything is possible”

The tariff plan appeared quite recently. Many argue that this is a response to MTS, which has opened the “Smart Unlimited” tariff plan for connection, which is superior in many respects to the “Everything” postpaid tariffs. It is difficult to say whether this tariff is the best and the opinions of subscribers in this regard differ greatly. We invite you to read the tariff description and then decide what is best for you.

The daily fee is 10 rubles for the first month. From the second month, the subscription fee rises to 13 rubles. per day for most regions of Russia and 20 rubles. for Moscow and Moscow region. The cost of switching to the tariff is 100 rubles. The tariff is not the cheapest and for this fee you should expect a lot from it.

The tariff can be everything Beeline includes:

• Unlimited mobile Internet throughout Russia without speed or traffic limitations;
• Unlimited calls to Beeline Russia subscribers;
• 100 minutes (in most regions) or 250 minutes (Moscow and Moscow region) to all networks in the home region and Beeline Russia phones;
• 100 SMS (in most regions) or 250 SMS (Moscow and Moscow region) to numbers in your home region.

If you compare the “#everything is possible” tariff with the “Everything for 500” postpaid tariff, the second one looks more attractive, as it includes more impressive service packages. As for the Internet, the “EVERYTHING is possible” tariff has almost similar conditions. The tariff plan appeared quite recently and not all of its features are known yet. Below are a number of tariff disadvantages that have been officially confirmed. Unofficial information (subscriber reviews) suggests many other shortcomings.

The “#EVERYTHING is possible” tariff has the following disadvantages:

Such conditions are typical for the “#EVERYTHING” tariff. As you can see, there are a lot of pitfalls here and it’s difficult to call this tariff plan ideal. However, ideal tariffs do not exist at all. If you are a fan of Beeline, then it has another offer with unlimited internet.

Tariff “Unlimited for tablet”

The rates described above are for telephone. If you need unlimited Internet for a tablet, then Beeline has an offer specifically for these devices. provides mobile Internet without traffic quota and speed restrictions. Distinctive feature tariff plan is that it is not characterized by protocol restrictions. That is, when downloading files from file-sharing networks (torrents), the Internet speed will not change. So far, this is the only tariff with unlimited Internet that does not have a restriction on downloading file-sharing networks. However, this is where its advantages end.

The subscription fee for the tariff is 890 rubles. per month (Moscow and Moscow region). Packages of minutes and SMS are completely absent. In fact, you only pay for unlimited Internet. Moreover, by default The tariff does not provide the ability to make calls or send messages at all. Activation of voice communications and SMS messaging services is possible only upon concluding a written contract for the provision of mobile radiotelephone services. The conclusion of an agreement is possible at any Beeline sales office.

As for the disadvantages, everything here is similar to the tariffs described earlier, with the exception of the absence of restrictions on torrents. It is worth adding that on the “Unlimited for Tablet” tariff plan, the “Highway” options, as well as promotions and other bonus programs that give discounts on Internet traffic, are not available for connection. Another disadvantage is that despite the high subscription fee, the tariff does not include communication service packages.

Unlimited Internet on MTS

MTS provides subscribers with only one tariff plan with unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. This does not mean that MTS lags behind Beeline in terms of unlimited Internet. MTS does not have a separate tariff for a tablet or a tariff plan with a postpaid payment system. Available not only on phones, but also on tablets. As for the use of the tariff in the modem, there is also a limitation in this regard. But “Smart Unlimited” does not provide for restrictions on distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi and using the phone as a modem. By removing this limitation, MTS stood out favorably against other operators. However, there are some pitfalls here too.

The “Smart Unlimited” tariff includes:

• Unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas;
• Unlimited calls to MTS numbers throughout Russia;
• 200 minutes to numbers of all networks in your region;
• 200 SMS messages to numbers of all networks in your region.

Packages of minutes and SMS are small. Few people worry about SMS, but there may not be enough minutes and then you will have to pay extra. Calls to MTS Russia numbers are also included in the 200-minute package. Only after the package is exhausted, calls to MTS outside your home region become free, but you will have to pay for calls to mobile phones of other operators in your home region. As you can see, everything here is very confusing and tricky. There are also quite a lot of tricks regarding the Internet. The subscription fee in most regions is 12.90 rubles. per day. Subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region pay 12.90 rubles for the first month. per day, and from the second month 19 rubles per day.

Of course, the Smart Unlimited tariff has its drawbacks, and there are quite a lot of them. The most unpleasant thing is that the list of shortcomings regularly increases. This is not because we did not identify them in a timely manner. The fact is that since the time of MTS, tariff conditions have been changing and a similar phenomenon is typical for all operators. Below is a list of shortcomings that are relevant today.

Disadvantages of the “Smart Unlimited” tariff:

1. A SIM card with the “Smart Unlimited” tariff connected cannot be used in a modem or router. Is it possible to bypass this limitation? Yes, it is possible, but it is not easy to do. We have already written about that.
2. The “Smart Unlimited” tariff is characterized by a restriction on downloading from file-sharing networks (torrents). If you try, these restrictions can be circumvented.
3. The document with a detailed description of the tariff indicates that it is possible to limit the speed of Internet access in case of heavy load on the network. All operators providing tariffs with unlimited Internet insure themselves with this review.

We have devoted a whole series of articles to this tariff plan. If you believe the reviews of visitors, then the tariff has a lot of disadvantages. However, we believe that this is relevant for all operators. It is hardly worth counting on the fact that mobile Internet without any restrictions will ever appear again.

Unlimited Internet on MegaFon

MegaFon does not have a separate tariff plan with unlimited Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas, but it does have a special “MegaUnlimited” option. Access option for connection on “All inclusive” tariffs. As with other tariffs, the MegaUnlimit option provides for a number of restrictions. The subscription fee depends on the region and tariff plan.

As an example, we present data relevant for Moscow and the region. So, on the “MegaFon - All Inclusive L, XL” tariffs within the “MegaUnlimit” option it will cost 5 rubles per day. If you use the “MegaFon - All Inclusive M” or “Warm Welcome M” tariffs, then the daily fee will be 7 rubles. For tariff plans of the “MegaFon - All Inclusive S” and “Warm Welcome S” line, the price is 9 rubles. If you have the MegaFon All Inclusive VIP tariff activated, then the MegaUnlimited option will be provided to you free of charge.

Features of the “MegaUnlimit” option:

• The option is only available on phones, smartphones and tablets. You cannot use the option in a modem or router.
• The use of torrent resources and wi-fi tethering is limited. That is, when you try to download a file through a torrent client, the speed will drop to an extremely low value. Distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi will also not work.
• The option only applies within your home region.
• The option is available for connection to subscribers in all regions except Taimyr MR, Norilsk, Magadan Region, Kamchatka Territory, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Many will think that MegaFon lags behind its competitors in terms of unlimited Internet, but in fact this is not the case. Unlimited Internet without speed and traffic restrictions has long been provided subsidiary MegaFon - Yota. If you want to activate the “MegaUnlimit” option, dial the command * 105 * 1153 # on your phone or send a blank SMS to 05001153.

Unlimited Internet from Yota

Yota offers quite attractive tariff conditions with unlimited mobile Internet. Many believe that this operator has too small a coverage area and is only available in large regions of the country. In fact Yota services are available wherever MegaFon has a connection, and this is a very impressive coverage area.

Provides very flexible tinctures. That is, you have the opportunity to independently choose the maximum Internet speed and cost. Yota does not have tariffs similar to those offered by MTS or Beeline. This operator offers to select the Internet for a specific device (phone, tablet, modem). First you need to decide on the device on which you will use the Internet, and then you yourself determine the optimal conditions for yourself.

Yota tariff for smartphones

The tariff for smartphones includes unlimited calls within the network and unlimited Internet. You set the package of minutes for calls to numbers of other operators yourself. The minimum tariff cost is 230 rubles per month. For this money you get:

• Unlimited Internet (there are a number of restrictions, see below);
• Unlimited calls to Yota numbers throughout Russia;
• Unlimited SMS (for an additional fee of 50 rubles);
• 100 minutes to numbers of other Russian operators.
• If 100 minutes is not enough for you, you can increase the package to 300, 600, 900 or 1200 minutes. The larger the package of minutes, the more expensive the tariff.

Unlimited Internet Yota designed for smartphone. If you need Internet for a tablet or modem, connect to tariffs specifically designed for these devices. You cannot use your smartphone as a modem or hotspot WI-FI access. No one will block you for these actions, the Internet speed will simply be limited to 128 Kbps. You can also forget about using file-sharing networks, since the speed will be limited to 32 Kbps.

Yota tariff for tablet

If you need unlimited Internet for your tablet, then Yota has it special offer and for such cases. The tablet tariff provides mobile Internet without speed limits and traffic quotas. You have the opportunity to independently determine the period of Internet access. Internet for a day will cost you 50 rubles, for a month you will have to pay 590 rubles, and a year of high-speed Internet will cost 4,500 rubles. The prices are relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region; in other regions the subscription fee will be lower.

The tariff plan is valid throughout Russia. Packages of minutes and SMS are not provided within this tariff. The cost of outgoing calls within Russia to all numbers is 3.9 rubles. in a minute. A similar cost is set for outgoing SMS.

Of course, this was not entirely without restrictions. The Yota tariff includes a number of restrictions that make it less attractive.

The tariff is subject to the following restrictions:

1. Unlimited Internet is provided for use on tablets only;
2. When using a SIM card in modems or routers, the speed is limited to 64 Kbps;
3. Downloading/distributing files in torrents is subject to a speed limit of up to 32 kbps;
4. When distributing the Internet via WI-FI or using the tablet in modem mode, the speed is limited to 128 Kbps;
5. When in Crimea and Sevastopol, they apply special conditions tariffs. For example, the cost of Internet is 9 rubles. for every 100 KB.

Yota tariff for modem

Today, only the Yota operator has unlimited Internet for a modem without speed limits and traffic quotas. The modem tariff also has flexible settings. You can choose between price and speed. If you need unlimited mobile Internet at maximum speed, then the subscription fee will be 1,400 rubles per month (Moscow and Moscow region). If this is too expensive for you, you can reduce the subscription fee by reducing the Internet speed. For example, Internet at a speed of 1 Mbit/s will cost 600 rubles per month. You can also connect to unlimited Internet for a day for 150 rubles or even for 2 hours for 50 rubles.

As for restrictions, there are none. You can use the tariff in a modem or router, distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi. We did not find any information about restrictions on downloading from file-sharing networks. So far this is the only tariff with unlimited mobile Internet that can be used in a modem or router. MTS and Beeline have long closed such tariffs and options for connection. In general, we can say that Yota is a good operator for the Internet, and if you fall within the coverage area of ​​​​this operator, then you definitely need to study its offers in detail.

Best deal

It is unlikely that anyone will be able to answer you which operator provides the best tariff with unlimited Internet. It all depends on preference specific person, and therefore opinions will differ. If you have read the entire review in full, then you already have an understanding that all proposals have shortcomings. Unfortunately, truly profitable offers have long been unavailable for connection.

Previously, unlimited Internet was provided without restrictions by Beeline, MTS and MegaFon, but over time the load on the network increased and operators considered such offers not profitable for themselves. No matter what they tell us, every operator always thinks first of all about profit, but not about the benefit of subscribers. All current tariffs with unlimited Internet are far from ideal, but we have no choice but to choose from what is available.

We tested all the tariffs listed in the article, but we will not impose anything specific on you, since there really is no better guess. You must choose the best option for yourself depending on your own preferences.

For successful business development, communication means play an important role. Since during a personal meeting they mainly discuss only key points, then discussion of working nuances takes place over the telephone. How much companies pay in such cases can only be guessed at. The way out of this situation was corporate tariffs from mobile operators, which, as a rule, are unlimited, and savings reach 60% compared to regular tariff plans.

Unlimited Beeline tariff in Russia Everything for communication Platinum is ideal option for those who often travel on business trips around Russia. The main advantage of this service is absolutely unlimited calls with subscribers of the Beeline operator in any region of Russia, as well as 6,000 minutes of outgoing calls throughout Russia. Subscription fee for a direct number is 3150 rubles/month, for a federal number - 2600 rubles/month. Minimum advance payment, required to activate the number is 500 rubles. In addition, the subscriber can exchange messages with friends and not be afraid that he will exceed the restrictions, since this tariff plan provides 6,000 free SMS and MMS messages. Customers also have access to 35 GB of mobile Internet traffic with coverage throughout the Russian Federation.

Unlimited in Russia is an excellent option for all subscribers who need to always be in touch from their mobile phone.

Unlimited roaming

Unlike the previous tariff plan, in the “Everything for communication Platina Light” tariff the monthly subscription fee is 1,700 rubles per month for connecting to a federal number. To some extent, this package can be characterized as a tariff without roaming in Russia, because the subscription fee already includes 3000 minutes for outgoing calls from anywhere in Russia, as well as for incoming calls when in intranet roaming. Among other things, the tariff includes 3,000 SMS and MMS messages for free.

Unlimited intercity

The mobile operator Beeline provides its subscribers with the “Unlimited in Russia” tariff plan with a federal number. This tariff is beneficial for residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, since all outgoing calls from this region are free without a limit on the number of minutes. Outgoing calls in roaming are 9.95 rubles per minute. The subscription fee for using a tariff plan with unlimited intercity communication is 96 rubles per day.

Less expensive for long-distance calls is the “Country Without Borders” tariff plan from Megafon, which includes 100 free minutes for calls to numbers of regional operators, including landline numbers, and 50 minutes for calls with subscribers located anywhere in Russia. In addition, having unlimited Internet is also a definite plus. However, the Beeline operator has a similar tariff: the “Russia Connected” tariff plan provides 240 outgoing minutes throughout Russia daily for only 95 rubles per day.

Mobile operators offer different conditions for their services. You can choose Megafon, MTS, Tele2 or some other. But which one is better? What are the tariffs for communication and Internet? Which option should you choose for yourself?

The modern rhythm of life dictates its own rules to a person, and we can no longer imagine our day or leisure time without a mobile phone. Every day we make calls, send text and multimedia messages, go online and carry out other activities. All these opportunities are given to us by cellular communication providers, and today Megafon, MTS, as well as Beeline and Tele2 can be called the first in the country. Statistics say that this is the cellular communication that Russians use, but this is understandable as it is, numbers are not needed.

Finding the optimal operator is not an easy task for many; you can rely on expert opinion or take into account user reviews. However, in general, which provider is better depends on the user's needs based on trial and error. Everyone has personal requests and needs, so it is unlikely that it will be possible to give an accurate and correct answer to such a question. You can only make a comparison and identify the strong and weak sides Beeline, MTS, as well as Tele2 and, of course, megaphone.

Which connection is more profitable?

All providers are making efforts to ensure that their communications are of the highest quality, complete and beneficial to users; there is a constant struggle for competitiveness in the market, new tariffs and service packages are being released, coverage and Internet access are improving, providers do not spare effort and money for advertising. However, it is difficult to immediately choose a megaphone or MTS, Tele2 or Beeline.

Megafon can be called the undoubted leader of the mobile world. It has been on the market for a long time, more than 20 years. Over such a long period, the customer base has become truly impressive. The company's statisticians recently announced a figure of more than seventy million subscribers. Megafon provides various packages for the Internet, calls and other cellular products.

Its positive aspects:

• greatest coverage of the country's territory;
• new technologies;
• internet speed at high level.

The obvious advantage of megaphone is the presence of base towers in places where there are very few users and costs exceed profits. In addition, all innovations appear first at the megaphone, for example, video communication. Only then the idea is picked up and developed by other providers. The same principle of using everything new and better is used when installing equipment. Therefore, the megaphone has better network access than its competitors.

The disadvantages include difficulties in communicating with the support service, but this problem is also relevant for MTS, Beeline and Tele2, because no matter how extensive the call center the company has, the number of subscribers is also increasing. Fortunately, today there is various ways solutions to issues, and they can be resolved without the help of a support operator. For example, each subscriber has the opportunity to manage his number, connect and disconnect services and options, change the tariff plan, etc., in personal account on the company website. Some users point out difficulties in understanding tariffs, which is why misunderstandings often occur. But here you can also study information on the Internet or check with the service center.

Beeline has also been present on the market for more than twenty years; the number of its subscribers reaches sixty million. The advantages of this company include a large number of various tariffs and packages, that is, almost every user can choose a tariff that is best for him and meets personal needs. The provider also constantly runs promotions and loyalty programs, and the support service is also at a high level. But the connection wait time is too long.

According to customer reviews, Beeline lags behind in terms of frequent failures in the operation of various options. Unlike a megaphone, the coverage area is much smaller; economically unprofitable areas are not covered. Then the provider believes that it is better not to install towers in places where there are not many subscribers. There are also high tariffs when staying outside the region.

Like megafon and beeline, the MTS company started its activities in the distant nineties. This provider has a very large customer base. Its advantages include good communication, which is achieved by using modern innovations. In addition, MTS has a lot different options For mobile internet, which is a big advantage today. There are also many beneficial services for using communications in roaming.

The disadvantages include a modest coverage area. In addition, many similar services are offered by competitors for more favorable rates. And the economic part plays a big role in the question of which provider is better. Also, one of the disadvantages of MTS is that it takes too long to wait for an operator’s response; this is common to almost all providers. But, like other operators, it is possible to manage services in your personal account.

The mobile operator Tele2 is a foreign provider. In terms of the number of users in Russia who decided that Tele2 is better than others, the company ranks fourth. The main positive aspect of this operator is the low prices for products and services. However, despite this, there are still few subscribers, since the coverage area is too limited.

Mobile Internet offers

The age of the mobile Internet has radically changed people's views on virtual communication and information consumption in general. Any event in life today can be recorded and shared with friends in in social networks in online mode. That is why the cost and quality of the Internet plays an important role when choosing the best operator. Each operator has its own offers for subscribers.

For example, the companies Megafon and Beeline have similar offers - one gigabyte for 210 rubles per month. This offer is available to residents of the capital and regions, but the conditions in different cities may differ from each other. The MTS operator has an option that is ready to offer a similar amount of traffic for a lower amount.

When choosing an Internet package it rarely plays decisive role the amount of traffic, this is of great importance for modems. Who has the best coverage and equipment comes first. Megafon and MTS today occupy leading positions in the Internet market; Beeline and Tele2 in this sense lag behind their competitors due to insufficient coverage area and connection quality.

Megafon and MTS are also leaders according to a company that studies the quality of cellular communications. However, in this area, a megaphone is preferred as it has a wider coverage area.

Choosing a mobile operator goes far beyond the question of which provider is more profitable. When buying a SIM card, a lot of factors are taken into account - the content of the phone book, because we instinctively choose the operator that most of our friends and family use. Regarding Russian operators, it is important to take into account the region, because tariffs in different cities differ from each other. In addition, no one is stopping you from now having two or three SIM cards from different operators; there are special mobile devices for this. However, as long as value for money comes first, healthy competition between companies will continue.

It is difficult for a modern person to imagine his everyday life without mobile communications. Day after day we make calls, send SMS messages, surf the Internet and consume content. All this became possible thanks to cellular providers. In general, there is no single operator that would be responsible for access to the Internet: each country will have several of its own popular monopolists.

On our territory, communications are represented mainly by the companies MTS, Megafon and Beeline. Even if you take a quick look at the statistics of cellular traffic consumption, these three venerable representatives have gone far ahead, leaving behind their more modest competitors.

It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of which mobile communication is the most profitable or which of these operators is better, because each individual subscriber has his own vision of the quality of service and general issues communications.

Nevertheless, you can get acquainted with the main advantages of each company, as well as with the disadvantages, classifying all this into categories and drawing appropriate conclusions. In general, making the right choice is quite difficult, because each of the providers cannot be perfect in everything. Some have better Internet connections, others have noticeably wider and better coverage, and some companies provide services and tariffs that are attractive specifically for your region. Let's look at each operator in more detail.

"Megaphone"

The company confidently holds a leading position in many regions of our country, and in some individual cities the provider was awarded the title “ Best Operator connections." Megafon began its activities back in 1993. During this period, the company gained quite an impressive army of fans. Judging by the statistics, more than 73 million people use the provider’s services (according to the operator itself).

Company advantages

Among the main advantages we can note a very large coverage area throughout Russia. Moreover, towers are growing even where communication costs do not cover the invested funds for installation and maintenance of stations, and this clearly indicates that the company is concerned about its customers.

In addition, the provider tirelessly monitors all advanced technologies related to cellular communications and is the first to introduce various kinds of features. For example, Megafon was the first to provide its customers with the ability to make video calls, and only then other operators picked up this trend.

Thanks to the availability of modern equipment, the quality of Internet connection is noticeably better: high speed with almost uninterrupted flow.

Operator disadvantages

As for the shortcomings, the first thing to note is the work of the help desk. And although this problem is equally relevant for other providers, getting through to the Megafon dispatcher is sometimes so difficult that many clients begin to look for alternative ways to resolve their issue. Moreover, call center specialists often do not have the necessary qualifications to help you and often make mistakes, so getting through to the help desk is not so bad.

Another problem that also affects other telecom operators, but Megafon has it especially pronounced - complex and confusing tariffs. Year after year, the quality of communication is getting better, but the tariff plans are becoming more and more confusing, which, naturally, is not in the best possible way affects the clientele.

"Beeline"

The next extremely popular provider in our territory is Beeline. The company began its activities in the same 1993 and managed to win the love of a huge number of fans. According to statistics from the company itself, the customer base numbers about 60 million subscribers. The reality of these figures is confirmed by independent anti-monopoly observers.

Pros of the company

The main advantage of the provider is not only the best communication tariffs, but also their variety. The company provides each client with the most optimal option for a particular case. Although the number of tariff plans and services is large, it is quite difficult to get confused in them - everything is simple and clear.

In addition, the operator distinguished itself by holding numerous promotions and all kinds of tempting offers. And although this point is observed with many providers, Beeline especially distinguished itself.

The technical support service, unlike Megafon, works quite efficiently and quickly resolves problems with clients. Of course, you will have to wait some time for a specialist to answer your call, but rest assured that your issue will be resolved (within a competent framework).

Minuses

Still, good and better communication is a priority goal for any provider, but Megafon is a little lame in this regard. You can come across a lot (in comparison with other operators) of negative reviews about the quality of communication: periodic failures, some delays, and sometimes it’s even impossible to check your own balance.

Moreover, the company distinguished itself with too unfavorable tariffs for long-distance and international communications (roaming). If you are in a neighboring region or, even worse, abroad, then it is best to switch to another operator, otherwise your balance will melt before your eyes.

Unlike MTS or Megafon, for some reason the company does not seek to serve areas that are not entirely profitable in terms of monetization. That is, outside the city, the provider has far from the best connection, and sometimes even its absence.

MTS

The provider began its activities in the same 1993 and operates more than successfully to this day. If we compare MTS with other companies in terms of clientele, then Mobile TeleSystems is clearly in the lead by a large margin - 107 million subscribers for this year.

Company advantages

MTS is, without exaggeration, the best connection among other providers. Technically modern and expensive equipment provides customers with high quality cellular communications, both on the street and inside buildings.

As for tariffs, mobile Internet lovers have plenty to choose from. The operator provides its customers with a lot of offers for smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, and all this works great both in the home network and in roaming. Standard communication tariffs for “just a call” are not much different from those of competitors, so there is nothing to highlight here.

Flaws

Among the disadvantages, one can note that the tariffs are not fully balanced in terms of price. Some similar offers from other providers are noticeably cheaper. But the key word here will still be “some”. Better communication is, of course, good, but I would like to get it at an affordable price.

Well, the problem with all providers is the support service, namely waiting for a response from a specialist. The average time for the operator on the other end to answer is approximately 20 minutes (at night 8-10 minutes), and this is a very long time. Nevertheless, the provider wisely took care of this nuance, giving the client the opportunity to independently manage all of his services either in his personal account or through an assistant machine.
