Today I will share a life hack. (Upd. 04/14/2016 - it looks like the freebie is over, MTS announced that connection is no longer possible; what will happen to those who connected earlier - it will be clear after April 18, details -). Remember, we studied the possibility through a special page on the MTS website, as well as the ability to connect various packages, they are also turbo Internet buttons? So, I was still suffering then about the fact that, almost by order of the MTS, we were transferred to mandatory unlimited Internet, which in fact is not unlimited, because at the speed that is given at the end of the selected package - nothing really can be downloaded, except perhaps e-mails (and even then without attachments), and traffic jams in Yandex.Maps. And at the same time, this "unlimited" Internet costs quite serious money, namely, 200 rubles a month.
On the other hand - many people have such an amount of traffic (75 mb per day) - they didn't give up. A typical example is my wife, who uses the phone only for Yandex traffic jams, and an older child who has an online tracker on his phone to see where he is (well, or where he lost his phone). Both - consume about 10 MB per day. And once again I came across Sergei Potresov, in which, among other things, just a couple of paragraphs, it was mentioned about the budget Internet for 30 rubles a month. But the most interesting thing was not even in the article, but in the comments to it. Namely - codes for connecting unlimited Internet to MTS for 1 ruble per day with traffic of 10 MB (after that the speed is limited), for 2 rubles per day with traffic of 20 MB, and for 3 rubles per day, with the volume of traffic, after which the speed is limited to 30 MB. Under the cut - I share a detailed method of connecting this wonderful opportunity.
So, if we do not want to pay 8 rubles a day, they are 200 rubles a month for 75 MB a day, after which the speed is still cut, we can seriously reduce these costs. Up to 1 ruble per day, which will amount to 30 rubles per month. How such a proposal is still alive - it is absolutely not clear, as they say - this is not your merit, this is our flaw. Naturally, the MTS website does not say a word about this possibility at all. And no one knows how long it will still live.
How to connect: the beginning is the same for all three options.
Secondly, it is connected only to a "clean" personal account, without other Internet options. Therefore, you need to go to your personal account, and if any "BIT" is connected there, then turn it off. Also, if in addition to the "BIT" is connected "miniBit" - then turn it off too. If only a minibit, then only turn it off. But! Important! Of course, we leave the services connected WAP for the price of Internet and Mobile Internet (wap may turn itself off when this option is connected):
Let's consider the cheapest option first.
It is called BIT Smart A. 10 megabytes a day can be downloaded at unlimited speed, then until 3 am the next day - the Internet at a speed of 64 kilobits. The cost is 1 ruble per day. Well, or 30 rubles a month.
Called by USSD command *111*342#<КлавишаВызова>
After that, an SMS will come that the application for BIT Smart A-Promo has been registered, wait for the connection and SMS about the successful connection. Attention - no SMS about successful connection will come. IN personal account almost immediately after sending this USSD command, information will appear in the service lists that the BIT Smart A-Promo option is connected to you. Next, you need to turn on the transfer of mobile data, and download about 15-20 MB of information from the Internet. If you do not do this, there is a chance that after two weeks this option will be disabled, and reconnecting it will not be possible. Maybe not - but it's not worth the risk.
Suppose that we turned on the "data transfer" on the smartphone, and downloaded some mega file for 20. And only then - we will receive an SMS stating that the desired option BIT Smart A is connected to us, and the speed is limited to three in the morning next day.
Hurray, now we have unlimited Internet for 1 ruble per day, and the first 10 MB - at unlimited speed:
Second option. For those who need a little more, the time is two. Called BIT Smart B (unexpected, huh?). 20 megabytes per day can be downloaded at unlimited speed, then until 3 am the next day - the Internet at 64 kilobits. Cost - 2 rubles per day, read - 60 rubles per month.
The beginning is the same - we turn off all Internet options in the personal account (well, except for the mobile internet).
The end is similar to the previous case: after an inscription appears in your personal account that the promo Internet is connected (SMS most likely will not come) - we are already pumping out 25-30 MB of traffic, and we receive an SMS that the BIT Smart B option is connected.
Well, the third option is for those who do not deny themselves almost anything 🙂 BIT Smart C is called - 30 megabytes per day can be downloaded at unlimited speed, then until 3 am the next day - the Internet at 64 kilobits. The cost is 3 rubles per day. Well, or 90 rubles a month. In general, for those who do not need 75 MB for 200 rubles.
The beginning is again the same - we turn off all Internet options in the personal account (well, except for the mobile Internet itself).
Why 361 and not logical 344? And hell knows. What 344 does - I have not tested, if anyone is brave - can try.
Well, the ending is the same - we check in the personal account - whether it is connected, after which we pump out 30-35 MB of traffic until we receive an SMS that the speed is reduced to three in the morning, and the BIT Smart C option is connected.
All this works on archive tariffs, and not only in Moscow, but also in other regions (the only limitation is that the option functions only within its home region, and only on voice tariffs).
Well, if you suddenly need more traffic, then you can, if necessary, connect any of the turbo buttons I have described, or see the updated material: unlimited Internet without speed limits in the office, and, in particular, from the beeline.
I checked this on both the child and my wife - and I was completely delighted - this is exactly what they needed. Just perfect for low-traffic smartphones, navigators, online trackers, instant messengers and email clients.
P.S. Here in the comments they wrote that now every month they save 170 rubles, and here I thought it was a sinful thing ... And just in case I decided to post a form for accepting donations through Yandex. If even the same 30 rubles fell into the piggy bank of an unpretentious author's project, it would be nice. 🙂
P.S.S. Installed - and after about ten thousand views - removed it under the spoiler, so as not to interfere in plain sight. All the same - not a single person out of ten thousand was found. Well, at least click on the banner under the "Thank you" button, or at the top of the page there, while I have not removed them either 🙂
Upd. Today, February 2, 2016, after 53 thousand views, something happened that I had never hoped for. Someone transferred me not even 30, but 100 rubles. Thank you, kind person. It's a pity that I don't know anything about you, except that the payment was from a credit card - but whoever you are - I'm very grateful.
Upd. 04/14/2016 - it looks like the freebie is over, MTS announced that connection is no longer possible; what will happen to those who connected earlier - it will be clear after April 18, details -. Stay tuned for new updates - I will definitely inform you!
Upd. 05/26/2016 - So far, no new options have appeared, but if you have someone familiar with the "Smart Unlimited" tariff plan, then for 100 rubles you can transfer 10 GB of traffic from it to 5 more people. Then you get the Internet for 20 rubles a month at 2 GB per person. If there are three such people (a wife, a child and a dog in a collar / smart device), then the cost will be close - 33 rubles and 3.3 GB per person, which is differently better than 10 MB per day. I wrote in detail in (though about the Internet in the office, but not the point).
Upd. 09/21/2016 - Nothing will come of it, as it turned out in my next testing, so if he spends more than 10 GB at himself, and this is guaranteed for this tariff, then for everyone else it will turn off when the threshold of 10 GB is reached for everyone, including the initiator of the group.
Upd. 08/01/2017 In Moscow, now the cheapest in the sense of the Internet is the tariff for a smart device - http://www.mts.ru/export/umnoe_ustroystvo/ payment immediately for a year, but it turns out on average 60 rubles a month, 300 MB of Internet, 30 minutes of calls and 30 SMS per month. Everything from above - for an additional fee, but reasonable. In St. Petersburg - http://www.spb.mts.ru/export/umnoe_ustroystvo/
Upd. 08/01/2017 There is another option, but not available for everyone, and not to say that it is very cheap - but nevertheless interesting. So to speak, a non-public Internet option, an invitation to connect to which comes via SMS, but sometimes it turns out to connect just like that. Unlimited speed limited to 1 Mbps. But for only 200 rubles a month. In principle, this is enough even to watch YouTube, although not in fullhd, of course. In general, if these conditions suit you, you can try to connect to it (all other options such as Bit / Super-bit should be disabled, and the account should be at least 200 rubles). Here is a link to this tariff “Internet 1 Mbit / s (month). NP "in Moscow
The bandwidth of the Internet channel is one of the main indicators of the quality of the connection, and every connoisseur of the possibilities of the world wide web is well aware of this. Internet providers wishing to occupy a worthy niche in the field of telecommunications are constantly introducing new technologies in order to increase the speed of the Internet to the most comfortable level. Who has taken the leading positions in Moscow today according to the latest statistics?
What determines the speed of the Internet in Moscow?
Internet speed is a rather controversial indicator. First, modern providers indicate maximum possible values \u200b\u200bin their tariffs, which very often do not coincide with the harsh reality. Secondly, the bandwidth is very strongly affected by various factors associated not only with the provider and the technologies it uses, but also with the specific location, individual characteristics of the gadget and the site from which the file is downloaded. Thirdly, it is quite difficult for an ordinary subscriber to determine the real average speed, but fortunately, there are special services that perform such independent calculations.
In Moscow, the leading position in providing cellular communication and the Internet is occupied by operators such as MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Iota. Each of them provides a number of attractive unlimited tariffs with the ability to receive traffic that fully satisfies everyone's needs. Therefore, it is these representatives of the Big Four that we will analyze in terms of the average Internet speed.
Internet speed of the most popular mobile operators
According to independent computing systems, in 2015, the average Internet speed in Moscow reached the following indicators, namely:
- the mobile operator MTS holds a leading position due to the average throughput of 4.3 Mbit / s;
- the second place was deservedly taken by Megafon with a speed of 4.2 Mbit / s;
- the virtual operator Iota, which quickly burst into the market, pleased with the third place and the bandwidth of 4.1 Mbit / s;
- Beeline, although it is distinguished by favorable tariff plans, still took fourth place with an indicator of 3.9 Mbps.
If this data seemed to someone rather low, then you should not make hasty conclusions, since thanks to 4G (LTE) technology in some locations, the speed can reach 35 Mbit / s, and all the cellular operators described above have similar capabilities. As you can see, the difference in speed is minimal, so the benefits and comfort largely depend on the choice of the tariff plan.
Which provider should you prefer?
A varied series of indicators of communication quality and throughput showed that it is impossible to choose an unambiguous leader, since today there is quite healthy competition on the market. Therefore, it is worth focusing on tariff plans from MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Yota. The most popular tariffs are for 1200 rubles / month with good traffic without speed limits and unlimited calls. Consider the benefits and missed opportunities when choosing a specific tariff, and then you will definitely find the best option for conversations and active surfing the Internet.
The Internet is an integral part of the life of a modern person. And in order to stay connected constantly, you need uninterrupted access to the network on your phone. However, even for a high-quality service, no one wants to overpay, so we will consider the most profitable offer from leading cellular operators country.
Internet for smartphone from Beeline
The company offers a service of access to the network for a day, implying payment only for the time when the Internet was actually used on the phone. The price of such a connection will be 19 rubles. for 500 MB or 29 p. for 1 GB.
Options with daily monthly fee and different traffic volumes per month are very diverse:
- 2 GB for 5 rubles / day;
- 4 GB will cost 7 rubles / day or 200 per month;
- 9, 18 and 30 GB will cost 390, 560 and 690 rubles / 30 days, respectively. In addition, all these offers include unlimited traffic at night, i.e. gigabytes are consumed only during the day.
The operator allows the use of one tariff plan on 5 gadgets inclusive. Now you do not need to remember the numbers of all your SIM cards from Beeline and, accordingly, replenish several accounts. It is enough to put funds on the main number and surf the Internet from the device that is at hand at the moment. It is possible to track the rest of the traffic and information on tariffs in the personal account of the phone number.
It is worth noting that the Internet option can be connected as an independent service or be part of package offers along with a certain number of minutes for calls and SMS messages.
Access to the network for the phone, complete with minutes and SMS, is presented in the tariffs of the "All" group. So, in a package for 200 rubles. you will get 2 GB, for 300 3 GB are allocated, for 500 subscribers will use 5 GB, for 1,000 - 9 GB and 30 GB for 2,000. At these tariffs, you can also share Internet traffic between devices. And starting with the option of a monthly fee of 500 rubles / 30 days, packages of minutes and text messages can become common for several users.
Internet from Megafon
Megafon offers its customers the following options.
1. Options connected to any tariff and having a monthly payment:
- 70 MB for 7 rubles / day (i.e. about 2 GB / month);
- 3 GB / month for 350;
- 16 GB for 590;
- 36 GB for 890;
- Full unlimited will cost 1,290 rubles.
2. Internet as part of various package offers of All Inclusive tariffs:
- At 220 rubles. 1.5 GB / month included;
- 400 - 3 GB;
- 700 - 4 GB;
- 1 300 - 8 GB;
- 2 700 - 10 GB.
Mobile Internet services from MTS
MTS provides a small amount of traffic at the following prices:
- 75 MB / day for 180 rubles / month (i.e. a little more than 2 GB for 30-31 days);
- 3 GB / month for 250 rubles.
You should also take a closer look at no less favorable rates:
- "Internet-Mini": 6 GB for 300 rubles;
- "Maxi": 15 GB for 500;
- "VIP": 30 GB for 600.
As for the package offers, here MTS launched the “Smart” line with monthly payments:
- "Mini": 200 rubles. 1 GB included;
- "Smart": 450 - 3 GB;
- "Nonstop": at 650 - unlimited access at night and 10 GB / month during the day;
- "Smart +": 900 - 5 GB, as well as the "Smart" option at home and while traveling in the Russian Federation.
MTS also makes it possible to share traffic between your devices, up to 5 pieces. However, this feature will be paid - 100 rubles / month.
Where to choose
All telecom operators offer a solid selection of tariff options for network access. Actually, this allows the client to choose for himself not only convenient, but also the cheapest mobile Internet.
For a regular subscriber calling from a phone to social networkschecking mail and exchanging text messages in messengers like WhatsApp or Telegram, a large volume of traffic will be superfluous - 1-2 GB will be enough for a whole month. In this case, the offer from Beeline is completely out of competition in price.
Also, the company is the only one of the whole "big three" mobile operators makes it possible to pay for the service only on the days when he uses it.
If with mobile phone It will be necessary not only to correspond, but also to watch movies and videos, play games, communicate via video communication using Skype or Viber services, here it is worth looking at the large volumes of traffic. Here, the cheapest access to the network is offered by MTS, in second place will be options from Beeline, and Megafon is hopelessly losing to competitors in this battle.
If a person actively communicates not only on the Internet, but also calls and writes a lot of messages, then package tariffs will significantly save on all types of services. From the point of view of mobile Internet, the best option would be “All” tariffs from Beeline, MTS and Megafon offers are much less profitable.
It should also be noted that when the daily or monthly traffic is exhausted, these companies provide the opportunity to extend it on favorable terms. In particular, Beeline provides access to the network at the prices of the home region, for Megafon this service is free only with a large volume of traffic, and MTS charges an additional fee of 50 rubles per day upon use.
