"Red" rate of MTS and Beeline new proposal for a lot of talking

Not so long ago we described in detail the "student" supply operators, MTS option called "cool" was designed as a plug-in "student" services to the then still-existing tariff RED. For a while there was a funny situation: the description of the tariff in the public domain was not, but in the bowels of the system, it existed and was activated when you make a student's proposal. Presumably, the MTS in a hurry to have time to "cool" to the beginning of September and at the same time was anxious to divert the young students of spectacular advertising "Boltologii Beeline.

A detailed description of the tariff are looking at the operator's website. By the conclusion of a new tariff on the market in MTS prepared carefully. Sonorous name, catchy advertisements, beautiful boxes, spectacular numbers on the posters. True, better name borrowed from the long-standing homonymous TP Red, which has made some confusing. Another 31 August we wrote about the fact that vnutritarifnye 3 cents per minute will effectively look at advertising, and it was done: the core of a campaign to promote the new TA is the phrase "Outgoing 0.03. It is clear that the amount RED users compared to the total mass of subscribers is negligible (while a little?), But the ads do their job and for a number of vnutritarifnyh calls for 3 cents (excluding VAT) will soon be expected.

The new tariff continues the tradition of MTS to promote intra-communication, and now relatively cheap minute on-net added cost vnutristevye SMS. No subscription fees, seditious words "connection charge" in the description is missing. Charging, of course, per minute. Principle of construction of the tariff is simple enough: take the basic cost per minute local call at 18 cents (6.01 rubles to taxes) and SMS-messages at a rate of 6 cents (2.03 rate) and made ​​50-percent discount for on-net calls, SMS and MMS. In addition, the voice calls within the tariff still half the price - the ones advertised by 3 cents, excluding VAT. In the description of the TP site is formalized as the service is "Non-MTS with no monthly fees.

Despite all the external "revolutionary" trehtsentovoy advertising tariff RED is not some special cheap products. Although it is too expensive RED will not name. Given the per-minute billing RED-and archival TP Jeans-007 is advantageous for communication within the network. In RED cheaper calls to fixed phones and networks of other operators, but this rate is obviously going to be used for calls within MTS. The two main attractive features of the new fare - cheap SMS within the network and the ability to organize intra-group communication on the hack for a moment that for many will come in handy.Thoughtfully provided an opportunity in advance to find out the cost of communicating with those who are going to call, a quote from the description: "Want to be sure that the calling subscriber RED in their region? Send to a toll free number 8555 SMS-request with the number of the person you want to call in the format + 791hhhhhhhh. If the person served on the tariff plan is RED, you get the answer: "This phone number RED - <region name>". In all other cases - "This is not a subscriber RED» ".

Pleased with the appearance of prepaid-box and its contents. All very stylish looks and the product is nice to take in hand, a radically better than the old jeans clearance. It seems that the rebranding of the company went on to benefit. "Subscriber" is also once again renewed, although without a spoon of tar (spelling) could not have done. From immediately caught my eye - a recommendation from the international roaming call without dialing the country code to call. Question is why from the "Handbook" was removed description of the request balance USSD-command * 100 # (works fine), leaving the only option for a call to the ACCA. But this is trivia. The situation is worse with a temperature of billing: sending SMS-message was tariffed by more than 2 hours after posting.

Beeline Spoken: continued successful ruler?

About this new rate until fairly unknown, but successful, "pereprygnuvshie" to him through Biofis managed to figure out some basic parameters. Of course, everything can still change and the very rate does not necessarily materialize.

Presumably, a curious structure of "conversational" was born as a result of studying statistics regarding use of the popular TP "Simple Things" and "I want to say." As we know, these TAs vygovarivaniya after the first few minutes of expensive for the remaining minutes during the day cost several times cheaper. Apparently, the "conversational" is going to take the next logical step: for the monthly fee (for air) at a rate of 360 rubles. in the month, all local calls (including city and to other operators) will be charged at £ 0.95. per minute. For most talkative customers like a good alternative to no-limit TA to the federal number.

Rates looks extremely attractive to a lot of talking, but it has its disadvantages. In the same "I want to say" every day cheap talk purchased at retail payment of the first expensive minutes, do not - you can on certain days though generally not to talk on a cell. News for weekends, holidays, etc. The "conversational" is in any case have to give 12 rubles abonentki a day, ie Rates are not very suitable talking a lot, but not every day. In any case, the proposal interesting for the subscribers and the operator is also not vnaklade: $ 13.05 monthly fee compensate certainly a considerable number of minutes paid for at cost (cost of interconnect). Look at what the final form of this tariff materializes materializing if at all.
