Which mobile operator is the most profitable. Who has mobile Internet cheaper? We compare rates. Cellular operator Iota
Today, payment for mobile communications has become as natural, unconditional and regular item of expenditure as utility bills. There are four leading telecommunications operators in the Russian cellular communications market: MegaFon, MTS, Beeline and Tele2. Their billboards are screaming for the most profitable and almost free connection. By the way, iKS-Consalting recognized the cost of mobile communications in Russia as one of the lowest compared to other 20 European countries covered in the study. The average cost of the tariff package is named around 300 rubles, and the main pricing factor is the volume of Internet traffic.
The tariffs of telecom operators are very dynamic. They reflect the company's strategy, consumer preferences and industry trends. In parallel with the current tariffs, archival tariffs are in effect until the subscriber switches to a new price offer. In such a variety it is not difficult to get lost. A comparison of the Big Four flagship service packages is presented below (1).
Which mobile plan to choose?
In connection with the constant expansion of the capabilities of our gadgets, it is rational to offer subscribers tariff packages that combine several services (for example, voice communication, SMS messages and mobile Internet). It is more convenient and cheaper for subscribers to purchase a range of services, and operators can earn on services that are not included in the subscription fee. Tariff packages are differentiated by the number of included services, their limit (GB, free minutes, number of SMS) and the needs of the subscriber (mobile Internet, home network calls, roaming, etc.). All this determines the cost of packages.
It should be noted that there is no universal or ideal tariff. Everything is determined by the goals of the subscriber: the subscriber uses the mobile Internet or voice calls more often, calls the numbers of his operator or other telecom players more often, uses long-distance or international roaming, etc. Therefore, choosing the best mobile tariff, you need to understand what benefits you expect from it.

One of the tariffs, namely “My Tele2”, provides for a daily subscription fee, which does not include packages of minutes and SMS messages.

Comparative characteristics of mobile communication tariffs of cellular operators
As already mentioned, the profitability of the tariff for a particular subscriber is determined by the goals of his connection. Therefore, in order to determine the best one, it is necessary to take a certain service as the main comparison criterion.
If we compare the most budgetary tariff plans of operators, then their monthly subscription fee is approximately equal. The lowest price for Tele2 differs from the highest cost of the budget package by only 60 rubles. From the point of view of the limit of minutes and Internet traffic, the Beeline offer looks the most attractive. But it should be borne in mind that the minutes included in the subscription fee apply only to calls to all operators within the home region. In addition, MTS and Tele2 carry over the unspent limit to the next month, which may increase the figures presented in Table 5.

For all telecom operators, with the exception of MegaFon, the maximum traffic offer is limited to 30 GB / month. They, like any other limit, can be further increased for a fee. MTS and Beeline have premium tariff plans with unlimited night time. The MTS operator also offers the Single Internet service, which combines up to 5 devices for an additional fee of 100 rubles per month. For users of several gadgets, this is more profitable than purchasing traffic for each device separately. Most of the tariffs of all operators can be used within long-distance roaming. MTS charges an additional monthly fee for this. The policy of Tele2 and Beeline allows you to use mobile Internet throughout Russia on the same terms as in your home region. MegaFon charges long-distance roaming in accordance with the terms of the subscriber's current tariff plan.

What is the cheapest Beeline tariff? This question was repeatedly asked by all the clients of the operator. Of course, there is no cheapest. But some have very favorable prices, which were developed based on the needs of each person.
Some subscribers practically do not use communication services, therefore, they do not need SMS packages or unlimited Internet. Someone, on the contrary, actively communicates and, if possible, uses all possible bonuses. For each client, the Beeline operator tries to find its own individual approach.
For those who call only on business
For subscribers who practically do not use communication services and make extremely short calls, the cheapest tariff is Per Second.
This is the only tariff plan of the operator, which provides for per-second billing for local calls. For a second of conversation, 5 kopecks are charged - quite a bit for those who make only short calls. Calls within Russia are also profitable - 3.90 rubles. per minute of conversation. The big advantage is that the cost is the same for outgoing calls to phones of all operators.
If you only call Beeline
Subscribers calling only Beeline phones will undoubtedly appreciate it.
This tariff plan allows the operator's subscribers to make profitable calls to Beeline numbers: the fee is charged only for the first minute of the call and amounts to 1.3 rubles. In fact, this means that the cost of the entire conversation will cost a little more than a ruble. Cheaper cellular communication is hard to imagine. In addition, subscribers are automatically connected to the services, "There is a contact" and a package of 100 SMS. But such conditions will seem beneficial only to those who do not call the numbers of other operators: a minute of conversation with them will cost 2.3 rubles.
International calls
Some subscribers specifically get a separate Beeline SIM card and transfer it to in order to make profitable calls abroad.
On this tariff plan, you can use the “Calls within the tariff” option and make free calls to Beeline numbers that have switched to “Welcome!”. Calls to any cell phones in the home area will cost 1.7 rubles. per minute of conversation, and throughout Russia - 2.5 rubles.
"Welcome" would not stand out if it were not for cheap rates for calls to other countries. For example, you can call Beeline numbers in Armenia, Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan for only 3.5 rubles. per minute, and for communication with China, 3 rubles per minute will be written off from the phone account. Subscribers are automatically connected to the services "Calls within the tariff" and "Be in the know +".
"ALL!"
Of course, when talking about the operator's favorable tariffs, you can't forget about the "EVERYTHING!" line.
This line includes tariffs, and. All of them are similar and include a certain set of services and are suitable for subscribers who actively use calls, SMS messages and the Internet.
For the amount indicated in the name of the tariff, the subscriber per month receives:
- Free calls to Beeline numbers in Russia;
- A certain number of minutes for calls to all operators in the home area;
- Free SMS package. Package conditions depend on the chosen tariff. It can be 300 messages in your home area, and 500 in your region to mobile subscribers of any operators + across the country to Beeline phones.
- Free Internet traffic or unlimited. The conditions for providing the Internet also depend on which tariff you have chosen.
On all tariffs of the VSE! line, except for VSE for 300, both prepaid and postpaid settlement systems are available.
Imagine modern man without mobile device is no longer possible, and most of them have a built-in option to connect to the Internet. For many, the function of cellular communication is very necessary for accessing the Internet - this is laying routes, communicating and sending multimedia messages in instant messengers, watching online videos and much more. Without these features for mobile internet, our life would be very boring.
Many companies specializing in the provision of mobile services offer their subscribers not only voice calls, but also special lines of tariff plans. They are ideally optimized for a smartphone so that the client can optimize their costs as much as possible and get a reliable high-speed connection. But there is also a large selection of special Internet lines for a tablet, that is, almost exclusively with dedicated Internet traffic.
But which operator should be chosen so that, as they say, everyone can get what was intended - the minimum cost and good communication quality?
When choosing one or another line of tariff plans offered by the provider, you should pay attention to several important parameters at once, so as not to wait for hours to download video or other content:
- To understand and understand the question of which operator is better for the Internet, you should understand that if a signal speed of up to 1 Mb is provided, then online services TV views will not be available to you.
- If Skype video communication is supposed, then the speed parameter should be more than 500 KB per second.
- If you are a fan of browser games, then you need a speed of more than 256 MB.
In addition, the signal transmission speed, in order for the mobile Internet to work well, may also depend on physical parameters - the remoteness of the device from the equipment of the mobile operator.
You should choose the best offer that is on the mobile data market, following these tips:
- You should choose the best tariff plan from all the offers of operators, find a good tariff that best suits your needs. For example, the available daily or monthly traffic quota.
- Open the Internet on your desktop computer and look at the coverage map of each of the selected operator to determine the best option for yourself.
- You can test each operator in practice, but for this you will have to pre-purchase sim cards and do speed testing online. You will be able to determine for yourself whether the offer suits you or not.
Overview of offers on the Russian market
Today, when using the mobile Internet, many users abandon their usual smartphones in favor of tablets, so they are interested in current offers specifically for the tablet. But we will consider options for both smartphones and tablet computers.
So, what attractive offers can different operators boast of?
From MTS
This provider is very popular both in the Russian market segment and in neighboring countries, flexible tariff plans and many special offers for tablets and smartphones attract users. And the current competitive struggle for its customers has only spurred the company to develop and improve its telecommunications network.
Packages offered by MTS for tablet:
- The tariff is called “For a tablet”. It includes not only Internet traffic, but also a special television application from MTS, through which you can connect to the network anywhere. However, in the regions of the Far East, there are restrictions for it, since the signal transmission rate does not exceed 129 kilobits per second, and a quota of only 3 GB is allocated for 30 days. Connection price - 400 rubles.
- If you purchase the “MTS Kit for Tablet”, then the user can return up to 20% of the funds already paid to his mobile account, although he also has speed limits and not everywhere he can work fully.
- Tariffs "BIT" and "SUPERBIT" can also be suitable for a mobile device. The first offer includes only 50 MB of traffic for 149 rubles, and the second 100, but for 299 rubles.
- Connect from MTS - this line is purchased only when buying a modem of the same name, but the speed indicator reaches up to 21.6 Mb per second, and immediately after activation, 699 rubles will be deducted from the account, but after that the client will have to pay 600 rubles. monthly.
From Beeline
The networks of one of the largest operators operate in many countries of the former Soviet Union, and many of them have already mastered the new generation of 4G data transmission.
Beeline offers a whole range of profitable tariffs of the Highway series:
- With a dedicated 3 GB of traffic at 350 rubles / m.
- 7 GB will cost 550 rubles.
- 15 is already 850.
- Well, for the most active, 30 GB is offered for 1150 rubles.
At the end of the allocated limit, the user will not be blocked, he will be connected up to 20 Mb of traffic for the amount of 200 rubles. But you can not connect a significant monthly package, but use daily rates, for example, the company will allocate 100 Mb of traffic for 19 rubles per day, or 500 for 29 rubles. You can switch absolutely free, but the refusal of the service will cost the user 45 rubles.
From TELE2
A rapidly developing company offers its customers, probably, the most profitable option for using sim cards for tablet mobile devices:
- The "BLACK" tariff includes 2 GB of high-speed Internet for only 200 rubles.
- "VERY BLACK" includes 10 GB for 399 rubles.
- "BLACKEST" - 10 GB + free TV for 599 rubles.
- "SUPER BLACK" for 1099 rubles. provides 15 GB of traffic at the highest speed.
From MEGAFON
It should be noted right away that the company uses only American or European equipment, so the rates are a little high, but this is offset by an excellent signal even in the most remote regions of the country:
- Tariff under the marker "S" for 390 rubles. will provide 2 GB, minutes for calls and sms.
- Under the marker "M" you will receive for 690 rubles. 6 GB.
- "L" provides the opportunity to get already 20 GB at a price of 990 rubles, while traffic is divided into night and daytime.
- The most expensive, but the most voluminous package called "XL" will cost 1290 rubles. The subscriber receives 20 GB of traffic day and night, that is, 40 GB per day.
By YOTA
The operator decided to exclude voice communication from Internet packages for tablet computers. The company positions them as completely unlimited, so the line of offers is built only on the amount of data reception limit in gigabytes:
- For 400 rubles, the client will receive up to 512 KB.
- 700 rubles will allow you to download data at a speed of 1.7 MB.
- For 900 - 5.0 MB.
The scale is progressive, how much the user used traffic, how much he will have to pay, but in general we can state:
- For the day of access to the Internet, the price will be 50 rubles.
- For 30 days - 590 rubles.
- Per month - 4500 rubles for completely unlimited use of high-speed traffic.
Conclusion
Megafon catches almost everywhere, Beeline and MTS have problems, for TELE2 the device must support the technologies of a new generation of networks, and YOTA is still doing its job well only in the Moscow region.
When making your choice, we recommend checking the coverage area in order to be sure of receiving a signal from a particular mobile Internet operator. We also advise you to decide how much traffic you need per month, and on the basis of this you can already make a choice, automatically filtering out offers with an unnecessary limit for you.
Currently, there are four major mobile operators in Russia. Among them:
- beeline;
- Megaphone;
- Tele2;
In addition, many small organizations operate in the market. As a rule, small companies use the networks of large competitors. Such a variant of cooperation is much more profitable for small firms, it is possible to avoid significant costs when creating a new operator.
Now let's dispel people's faith in numerous TOPs and ratings. Any good company that fights for subscribers has a promotion department. Its task is to attract the attention of customers by all means, to increase popularity in the market.
Promotion departments also use "black" methods. Many companies simply buy places in ratings on various sites. If the site is independent, then another method is used - writing positive reviews for yourself and negative ones for competitors.
Despite the complex moderation system, fake reviews still have an impact on independent ratings. Therefore, the real objectivity of various TOPs compiled on the basis of people's opinions remains a big question.
As you can see, MTS has made significant progress in attracting customers. This fact is due to the organization's serious investments in promotion. Additionally, this company was one of the first to appear on the Russian market; it has a large network of base stations in the Russian Federation.
It is noticeable that the leading four are well ahead of their competitors. These companies have been operating in the market for a long time and divided it among themselves. New firms simply have to “beat off” clients from leaders, dumping and offering unique conditions.
People's rating
What is the best mobile operator in 2020? On the network you can find many TOPs, which are somewhat different from each other. But we remind you that not all sites are independent and not all resources can be trusted.
The formation of the national rating is a complex process. It is necessary to collect reviews for a long time, check their authenticity, filter out fake ones, etc. Therefore, we decided to take a rating from an authoritative resource that you can trust.
Unexpectedly, Tinkoff Mobile took the first place. Most likely, this fact is due to serious investments in the formation of a really good operator and the desire to select customers from competitors. This is the right step, since the Russian market is oversaturated with offers and it is very difficult to break into it.
Rating for quality and price
It is impossible to make an objective TOP in terms of communication quality! But why, you ask? The quality of mobile communications is an abstract and variable parameter. The level of signal reception depends on a huge number of factors, it can differ even within the same city!
The quality of communication is affected by:
- The number of subscribers located in a certain part of the city.
- Used equipment.
- Number of installed base stations.
- Type of networks used for signal transmission, etc.
With a stretch, you can determine the quality of the services provided by the national rating presented above. It is compiled on the basis of people's opinions about operators and reflects the level of customer satisfaction.

Unlimited rate rating
Some of the best unlimited tariffs are from Beeline, Megafon and MTS. Today, these firms are able to offer optimal conditions for mobile services. It is important that they are represented in almost all regions, so niche solutions from competitors are not available to everyone.
What is the best mobile operator?
Many users ask: what mobile operator it is better? You will never find an exact answer to this question. When choosing, you need to build on several factors:
- service quality;
- price;
- coating;
- availability of suitable offers;
- work with clients.
cellular
The quality of communication with all major operators is approximately the same. MTS, Beeline, Megafon, and firms based on their networks win in this parameter.
Internet connection speed is not a constant parameter. It depends on the level of signal reception, load, installed equipment. Recently, Megafon has been considered the leader in data transfer speed.
Instant messaging
Now SMS does not cause much interest among users. Text messages have long been supplanted by instant messengers, some companies have stopped adding them to packages.
Iota, Tinkoff Mobile and Sbermobile have good conditions. These companies offer to connect unlimited SMS separately if necessary. If you do not use text messages, then you will not have to pay for them as part of the package.
Coverage level
In most cases, the level of coverage depends on the number of base stations. The rating of mobile operators in Russia in 2020 according to this indicator looks like this:
- Megafon.
- beeline.
- Teke2.
Cost of services
In terms of the cost of services, Tele2 and Iota win. Among federal operators, they are able to offer the most attractive prices for customers. If desired, you can pick up a good solution from smaller companies.
If we take into account the national rating, in which Iota and Tele2 occupy the second and third places, then these organizations can be called an excellent option for subscribers. Among their advantages: reasonable prices, good communication quality, large coverage area (Iota works on Megafon networks).
