Selection of the "right" operator and an appropriate tariff plan - an extraordinary task, disputes and arguments on this theme packed with thousands of Internet forums. For the first time attached to the mobile problem altogether insoluble: in the absence of practical experience and at least some primitive statistics to assess their potential needs is impossible to rely on the advice of friends / acquaintances or recommendation Sellers cellular shops. With vendors is clear: will advise you, for that they get more commission fees, friends tend to agitate for the addition operator, whose services are enjoying themselves. Where is the truth? Scientific treatise, with multi-subscriber profiles, the calculations will not write - employment is absolutely useless for the preparation of more or less exhaustive analysis of the market situation will have time to swap, not once.
If you have identified at least with a choice of mobile network - I think 2 / 3 of the problem is satisfied, find the right fare easier. Yes, and websites for all GSM-operators, there are online tools to select the optimum option. Consider the camera TP-calculators and try to understand how we "count"
MTS: The tariff "Cat radio operator" - not in the list, the calculations do not take into account
Sam calculator MTS lives here and is truly a masterpiece of meticulousness and the apotheosis of technical perfection. Correctly fill in all fields and set all the parameters of subscriber profile is not much easier than without the mistakes to fill an application form for issuing passports. For the lazy and prefer to maximize visual clarity is present flash version of the calculator, which can be directly on the screen to watch the movements of the columns sums of monthly payments, depending on the provisions of the engine number and duration of conversations. Beautifully and convincingly, but the consumer value of this monster is in serious doubt. The problem is that the MTS real communication costs to a large extent determined by all sorts of conventional shares (15% - 0,5 / 50% in exchange for a guaranteed fine loyalty), and seasonal discounts. And they will have to calculate their own pens, surrounded with multi-page printouts of notes and caveats. But that's half woes, the most important - family service plans "Jeans" in this race are not involved at all! Well, that is, as if they do not exist, MTS, by themselves, "Jeans" - by themselves.As a result, potential subscribers and receives no answer to the most popular question: choose the contract rate or prepaid family "Jeans"? Yes, I almost forgot: the parameters of tariff MTS.SMS an online calculator has not yet made - why would it? Or simply did not have time (even two months since the announcement has not passed), or MTS, the tariff themselves seriously do not perceive?
Conclusion: The calculator is beautiful, powerful and perfect - a work of art. And, like any work of art, intended primarily for admiration, and admiration for his goodness.
Beeline: "BOOM - build us." Independently, with a calculator in hand.
Calculator BeeLine http://www.beelinegsm.ru/tarifs/calc.wbp fully functional, although the amount taken into account the parameters clearly not up to the calculator MTS. Everything works in principle, especially not complain at that, the calculator is consistent with expectations. Though not quite understand the motives in the allocation of individual lines of incoming and outgoing calls to MegaFon. There is one big "but": the last "hit of the season" (Bee + BUM) is not taken into account and, accordingly, is not evaluated on the merits - unfortunately. By the way, and can not be appreciated - call duration shall be disregarded and the choice of tariff plan is not affected. That is, the emergence of prepaid-fare with a "floating" price of minutes once sharply limit the functionality of the mechanism and calculator now have to completely redo it. Of course, if someone would do this. As the calculator MTS, discounts / bonuses (15% Beebonus, 3% discount for payment card) are not included here, all will be considered manually.
MegaFon-Moscow: Deuce on the arithmetic
Calculator on the site MegaFon http://www.megafonmoscow.ru/tariffs/choose appeared recently. First impression - very primitive instrument with a minimum number of parameters taken into account. In fact, everything is as it should be the rate calculator reflect the simplicity and transparency of pricing policy of the operator. Unlike other calculators here the choice between direct and federal number is given more in that drastically reduces the number of output options. It is quite logical: it is possible to doubt, to any operator to connect, but certainly the type of accommodation in most cases, a person knows in advance. In the list of suggestions summarizes the characteristics of tariffs - it is convenient and intuitive. In general, like a calculator. And like so long until I tried to use it on purpose - the figures projected costs immensely surprised! Wagged his calculator for about 15 minutes found a bug: with at least one tariff plan cost of SMS-messages embedded in the amount of 59 cents per thing, and that leads to absurd figures in the results. We can say that Elephant himself planted the pig as a "curve" calculator.Other bugs like not noticed, but some figures are intuitively alarming, so who knows ... Anyway, I would still refrain from using MegaFon calculator, the benefit of all tariffs of this operator is quite simple and straightforward.
