MTS: In the less
The news of the tariff "Regional" look here, a detailed description - here. Zest fare - all local calls on weekends will cost a euro / min., On weekdays - 3 rubles. Ruble on weekends will be valid until September 30, then the scheme will be 3 rubles from the field, 5 - from Moscow. Nothing new has come up a few years ago with a different price tariffs minutes in Moscow and the region were quite popular. I remember the famous ads with summer residents in the train and ringing phones, for which no one responded to the border crossing in Moscow. Of course, the boundary of charging does not coincide with the Moscow Ring Road, and is the subject of a separate discussion.The tariff is clearly not widespread and many new connections do not gather, but for suburban gardeners are very good. Especially for those traveling to the country on weekends. Three rubles per minute on weekdays is also quite humanely, although much discussion is more attractive tariffs. Prices are made well (ruble - three - five), it is easy to remember and well regarded. It's nice that abstaining from evil figures like 2 rub. 95 kopecks.
Serious pitfall - the geography of Moscow and Moscow region in the understanding of the MTS. Before going to the salon for a new little box connection, it makes sense to carefully review the map (a file about 1 MB), tariff zone "Capital" goes not abroad in Moscow for a dozen miles. Map is also not the ultimate truth, even apparently in the area of "State" billing may be "capital". Quote from the site of MTS:
"Due to the propagation and terrain boundary between the tariff zones of" Capital "," State "and other areas is exemplary. Charging local call tariff zones" Capital "," State "is defined by location of the base station, which served the call at the time of connection. "
During a call, billing is not changed. Ie starting a conversation in the zone "area, we will pay a ruble a minute, even moved to the" Capital ". The same applies to the temporal boundaries: the conversation that began on Sunday, one minute to midnight, will all be tariffed at subsidized rates.
Beeline: unlimited calls to "favorite" numbers
Another summer event, a detailed description look here. Proposal - Unlimited communication with three favorite numbers until the end of the summer (until August 31) for the monthly fee of $ 8.95 USD. per day. An important limitation - selected numbers must be numbered Beeline home region. If as a favorite already connected the city, then on the action they need to be replaced by numbers Beeline. Change the numbers, but every change of a single issue will cost 15 rubles, the same is connected to the action. Carefully study the order of connection, there are important "stuff". For example, even when changing only one favorite number should send SMS-message to re-fly list.Summer stock is available at almost all costs, but there are exceptions:Connect to the shares may subscribers of all payment systems standard GSM - individuals, except for subscribers served by the tariff plans Freestyle, Super GSM, Super GSM +, Country in touch, GSM-Elite, I want to say (prepaid) and Simple Things. "
To listen to information and connections on loan rates offered to call a toll free number 0668, I personally still call failed ("The number you dialed does not exist"). In the subscription service link congestion rates due to the large number of applicants and offer to do everything manually, pre-paid tariffs, you can connect USSD-command.
At first glance the proposal seems straightforward dumping, unlimited communication with three subscribers at a price of half bottles of beer a day. However, every fan will be plenty to talk securely tied to the SIM-card Beeline and is unlikely to seek a more favorable seasonal offerings from other operators. But "it is worth ten bucks" ARPU increase to each participant - a very bad period for the summer lull. Not to mention one of the main purposes of such action: become accustomed over the summer to talk freely and over and over, in September it will be difficult to return to the old style of communication.
