Student fare now in Beeline

Student fare now in Beeline Special student rate "Boltologiya" was announced in the required statutory period (10 days) and we wrote about this. During that launch day (August 15) were formed some of the misunderstandings, and we have to write about it - too many people read the news on the site and looking forward to a new exclusive, preferential tariff from the famous statement. Description of the tariff on the site yet (already?) No, quotes from press release:

"Designed for students of the tariff plan is a low cost calls and SMS-messages, as well as the most affordable prices on the GPRS-Internet and WAP. In the tariff for outgoing calls to all phones in the region, including urban, the principle of step-pricing. According to this principle cost of 1 minute is £ 2.45., 2 nd and subsequent minutes - 1,95 rub. Moreover, all incoming calls are free, and the cost of SMS-messages is 1.45 rubles., GPRS-WAP (10 KB) 1.95 rub. and GPRS-Internet (1 MB) - 4,95 rub. (prices include VAT). C August 15, 2006 This tariff plan is available to connect and reconnect with other tariffs in service centers and sales " Beeline upon presentation of student tickets day and evening divisions of higher educational establishments of Moscow and Moscow region. "

Student tariff Boltologiya was promised on 15 August and for some time even appeared on the official website of Beeline. A couple of hours had disappeared, but traces remained elusive TA as a link to rtf-version (booklet), which can be found here. If at the time of publication of a description of dust and from there, carefully saved copy can be taken from our site. Why was it necessary to arrange a game of cat and mouse? Hard to say. Most likely, just could not agree on the amount included in the monthly fee of SMS-messages. According to the updated version autoinformer (toll-free number 0606) for 90 rubles abonentki can send 100 SMS-app, originally designed for the price - only 50. The unpredictability of the operator sometimes puzzling: try, kommentiruesh, and a day after the release of our material on the official site of the Beeline is suddenly a very different text. Do nothing, will have to collect primary sources: an audio file with information about the new tariff (recorded 08/16/2006) we can take and listen here (~ 600 Kb format mp3) At the same time too'll fight for the purity of the Russian language in autoinformer Beeline: Well, can not be "cost- twice as cheap calls to Beeline network, and that in fact agree to "the temperature was twice as cold" and thus "humidity quite damp."

Name the new TA will not comment, although the association with the word "screw" is not encouraging. It would be better "Trepologiya, by golly. It is a pity that the simple and obvious name "Student" has long been engaged in the relevant tariff MegaFon-Moscow. Students - the people and technically advanced mobile Internet is not averse, so the new tariff price for Internet-GPRS is made ​​at the level of tariff "Click" - 4,95 rbl. per megabyte. Similarly, did the price of traffic on the Wap-GPRS - about 200 rubles per megabyte. While the Russian students ushlyh rates for Wap-GPRS is hardly much of interest. Very pleased with preferential price for SMS-messages - 1,45 rub. (About 4 cents excluding VAT), are cheaper by as much as 50 kopecks. compared with other ruble rates. Included in the price of 90 rubles monthly fee of SMS-messages so far discuss meaningless because of the diverging information, but even in the worst student version 1.8 now. still smaller than the standard 1.95. Price MMS-messages left unchanged (6,6 USD). That was quite predictable from the text of the announcement. Yes and no to what the students a multimedia self-indulgence, only to lectures / seminars distracted.What is really nice, because it is relatively cheap calls to any local phone numbers: 1,45 euro / min. for all urban and mobile, plus 0.5 rub. to the cost of the first minute.

Charging, of course, per-minute - in the best traditions of the new tariffs. Fee (sorry, "appreciation of the first minute") is also present in the Moscow region, the usual 0.5 rub. Calls to the regional network of Beeline will manage in a completely democratic, 3.95 rub. per minute. Connecting the "favorite numbers" are not provided. Unpleasant for all non-students feature - the need to show student ID when you connect, buy Boltologiyu "at a kiosk near the metro will not work. Registration for new subscribers is strictly at the offices of the company.

Compare the new rate is logical, with a similar proposal MegaFon-Moscow (TA "Student"), you connect to which is also required to submit studbilet. But let's not forget about the type of pricing - no posekundki the second minute in the Boltologii "substantially affect the value of a call lasting one minute. Despite the discrepancies in the information still be hope for the best and hope for 100 included in the "Boltologicheskuyu" subscription fee of SMS-messages. All prices are in euro, VAT.

Summary

The first thing that catches your eye - a striking similarity between the basic parameters of tariffs, the easier it is to compare them. In "Boltologii" SMS little cheaper, but in the "Student" to give 50 pieces more for almost the same monthly fee, ie, As a result, and here the figures are similar. It is obvious that "Boltologiya" is preferable when a large number of calls to local fixed numbers and / or when you use GPRS-Internet, especially in the regime constantly connected ICQ (affecting 100 KB rounding session "Student"). In other cases, "Student" clear winner because of cheaper minutes and the presence of per second billing from the second minute. With regard to other prepaid-ruble tariffs Beeline, then compare with them, "Boltologiyu" uninteresting: it is preferable that looks really "I want to say, but only talked a lot of subscribers.

Included in table one of the open connection rates of MTS, we did not, as a specialized student fare from this statement yet. However, soon. And it will be the new tariff, not a temporary event with cheap SMS like "Jeans-pepsi"
