Popular contract tariffs the "Big Three" - at a discount and without

Our recent and quite routine publication of the appearance of a 20 percent discount for "loyalty" to the "Beeline" caused unexpectedly large number of responses. Including complaints about the lack of rate of the third operator in the comparative table. Apparently, a relatively easy contract TA is a very popular product on the market. At the same time in this paper will eliminate some errors and add to previously published material.

The 15% discount for their loyalty to MTS. Indeed, the loyalty program in its current incarnation is very different from the old "penalty" version. The official explanation - part of the subscription fee, as it were "frozen" and is recoverable only in the event of termination of the contract. Moreover, this "frozen" part may be less than the amount of the discount. It is reasonable and legally less vulnerable from the standpoint of the Federal Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights. Importantly, people no longer irritates the fact imposition of the fine, even had called "lump-sum payment. What we wrote: move from one TA contract to any other within the list of tariffs (see table in the "Terms") are not forbidden, no fines or lump sum payments without charge.

In some cases, do not connect a 15% discount simply unreasonable. For example, the monthly fee for "Exclusive federal" no discount is 4,981 rubles. At a discount - 4,234 rubles. Variance - 747 rubles. In this case, conditionally accrued fee (payable to terminate the contract) is 575 rubles. Ie even in the worst case, there is a subscriber to 172 rubles. savings per month. The more that cancel a contract nobody forces: in the case of switching to another operator can always convert the existing "hard" contract for the TA with a minimum monthly fee, and thus endure to the end of the term of discount with minimal financial losses.

About 20% discount for their loyalty to "Beeline" - additional information is unavailable at the time of the previous publication. Moving from one loan to another credit TA TA does not provide for penalties (ie, payment of the difference in the monthly fee). When you go to prepaid-fare or termination of the contract the difference, of course, have to pay. 20% discount begins on the date of signing the Agreement, the monthly fee will be recalculated and reduced by 20% for all days of the signing of the Treaty.

Reworked and supplemented by a table now includes TA contract MegaFon-Moscow "with similar parameters. In the tariff Challenge MX "we see a similar number of minutes included in the subscription fee (200), ie comparison of these contracted rates of the three operators can be regarded as absolutely correct. The more so minute billing in "Challenge MX" (instead of per second from the second minute of the TP Beeline and MTS), making 200 included minutes approximately equivalent to 172-180 minutes in the "Profi 150" and "Live easy 180.All prices are given discounts in rubles including VAT.
