What to choose?

Summing up our review, we can conclude that the most convenient operator for calls within Crimea is MTS (the service "Additional 100 minutes" for 1.5 rubles per day). Firstly, this operator covers the entire territory of the peninsula, and secondly, it provides a very profitable terms to communicate within the network.

The priority operator for using the Internet will be Win Mobile companies (Fast and Furious tariff - 400 rubles per month for 15 gigabytes of traffic) - if you need a lot of traffic, Krymtelecom (Contact tariff - 150 rubles per month for 5 gigabytes of traffic) - the best ratio of the amount of traffic-price, as well as "Sevmobile" (the tariff "Radio Nanny" - unlimited with a speed limit for 30 rubles per month). The main disadvantage of the latter is the fact that the operator operates only in Sevastopol.

In order to make profitable calls to mainland Russia numbers, Win Mobile is suitable for you, where by activating the My Russia service (3 rubles per day), you will pay only 2 rubles. per minute of an outgoing call.

Also online through RNKB Internet banking, or through the terminal for replenishment and payment for services at the terminal at RNKB Bank.

Money is credited to the account quickly. There are no delays.

The best SIM card for Crimea is a SIM card from MTS. We have seen this from our own experience. MTS subscribers arriving in Crimea are served in the network of the local operator Win mobile without any roaming. All service packages included in your tariff will work in full - a proven fact.

More than four years have passed since the return of Crimea to Russia, and Russian mobile operators are still not working on the peninsula - here we mean MegaFon, MTS, Beeline and Tele2. This creates difficulties for travelers and those who stay in the region on business matters. But MTS has no such difficulties - we enter the Crimea and communicate as if we had never left.

A phone with an MTS SIM card in Crimea will work the same way as in the home region. But there are some subtleties (they also allow you to save on calls):

• On tariffs without a monthly fee, it is necessary to activate the option “Everywhere at home in Russia”. It will cost 7 rubles / day, all incoming within its framework will become free, outgoing - at 3 rubles / min;
• On package tariffs where the included in trips within Russia are paid ("My Unlimited", "Smart Unlimited" and "Smart", "Smart Mini", "Smart Nonstop" and "Hype"), you should use the option "Russia Home Package" for 15 rubles/day (there is a version for 100 rubles/month). Incoming messages become free, the effect of all packages is preserved. The Internet package works regardless of whether you have connected the option or not;
• Tariffs "Our Smart", "Smart TOP", "Smart Zabugorishche" and "ULTRA" do not need to connect anything - these tariff plans retain home billing in Crimea completely, without additional options.

Thus, it is best to take a SIM card from MTS to Crimea - both for the Internet and for calls.

The version of the “Russia+ Home Package” option is valid for a whole month for 100 rubles - the best option for long trips and business trips.

We go to the Crimea with Beeline

Russian mobile operators do not work in Crimea, so Beeline subscribers are served here on the basis of the right to stay in national roaming. All incoming and outgoing to any Russian numbers cost 2 rubles / min - the billing is the same, even if you call Vladivostok. Sending an SMS will cost 2 rubles per piece, regardless of the region of destination. Internet billing:

• The first 3 MB for the current day - 2 rubles / MB;
• The next 110 MB - 200 rubles one-time;
• Subsequent traffic - 2 rubles / MB until the end of the current day.

Not the most favorable conditions, but you can access the Internet in a hotel or in a cafe - via Wi-Fi.

Roaming in Crimea from Tele2

For some reason, the connection from Tele2 came out not the cheapest. The cost of the Internet is 3 rubles/Mb, all incoming calls are charged at 1 rub/min. But an outgoing call within the Russian Federation is more expensive than on Beeline - 3 rubles / min. The cost of SMS within Russia is 3 rubles/piece.

To reduce costs, Tele2 offered a deceptive option "It's like home in Crimea." She makes incoming free - and that's it. All other terms of service remain in full. Why deceptive? Yes, because houses and prices are lower, and packages are valid.

If you need Internet unlimited, use the predatory option "Unlimited Internet in Crimea". The subscription fee is as much as 300 rubles per day (only 50 rubles cheaper than abroad somewhere in Australia, on the other side of the world). The first 200 MB are spent at maximum speed, then it decreases to 128 kbps. Okay, there is a speed limit - God bless him. But 300 rubles for using the Internet in your country is undisguised greed.

Travel to Crimea with MegaFon

MegaFon has little advantage - the SIM card will work in the Crimea, but only in national roaming conditions. It has not yet been canceled, so we have to endure. Basic billing of communication services for all tariffs:

• Incoming calls from Russian numbers (coming from outside the Crimea) - 2 rubles / min;
• Incoming calls from the numbers of the peninsula (including Sevastopol) are not charged (and rightly so);
• Any outgoing calls in Russia, regardless of the region - 2 rubles / min;
• Sending domestic SMS - 2 rubles / piece (including in the Crimea);
• Internet traffic - 2.2 rubles / Mb around the clock, without packages.

The option "Unlimited incoming in Crimea" will help to reduce the cost of incoming calls to zero - it costs 30 rubles daily.

Two options are automatically connected to each subscriber today - look right now in the personal account, most likely they are already there. The first is called "Crimea", it costs 15 rubles / day, incoming calls become free, any outgoing calls within the Russian Federation - 4 rubles / minute. For some reason, the Internet and SMS are getting more expensive - up to 5 rubles / MB and up to 3 rubles / piece. The second option is called "Internet in Crimea" - includes 60 MB for 99 rubles.

With what to go to Crimea

This is the situation as of summer 2018. The situation can change at any time - the Federal Antimonopoly Service puts pressure on mobile operators, forcing them to cancel roaming. A draft law is also being developed, according to which there should be no roaming on the territory of the Russian Federation.

What to do today? There are no Russian mobile operators in Crimea, so we suggest to go with MTS, his SIM cards work just fine here - the Internet is fast, it is consumed from the included package (the SIM card is registered in the Win Mobile network, but works without roaming). And no 300 rubles / day, as Tele2 does. If you do not want to change the number, we can offer the following options:

• Switch from your operator to MTS while keeping the number;
• Set up call forwarding from MegaFon to a new MTS number;
• Buy an MTS SIM card as a temporary second SIM - you can put it in the second slot or plug it into a 3G router with subsequent distribution via Wi-Fi.

You can also use free Wi-Fi in the nearest cafe or in your hotel - this is a very common service in Crimean establishments.

Traveling to the Crimea makes subscribers of cellular networks nervous. The thing is that there are no Russian mobile operators there, they (let's hope - for now) do not work there. A SIM card for Crimea should provide inexpensive communication services while staying on the territory of the peninsula. And our experts decided to find the best option.

The summer of 2018 is just flaring up, the temperature of air and sea water in Crimea is constantly growing. It's time to jump in the car and go on vacation. But will the SIM card installed in the phone work in Crimea? It will be, but only not on the most favorable terms - they are described in our review.

Apparently, MTS does not consider Crimea a legitimate part of Russia - and this is sad. Because attempts to find out the cost of calls and mobile Internet while staying on the territory of the republic did not lead to anything. The "Roaming" section on the official website is silent, a search for information on other pages did not give any information.

Having already written this article, we learned from user comments that MTS provides quite good conditions communications in the Crimea. The comments themselves say this:

Arkady, June 14, 2018 About MTS is complete nonsense. 100 rubles all of Russia + and use your package like at home. Verified personally. So MTS is the cheapest in the Crimea.

Nicholas, June 18, 2018 MTS has additional services Home package Russia and Home package Russia+. Communication conditions are the same as in the home region. For the first package 15 rubles. per day when making calls and using mobile Internet, for the second package - 100 rubles. per month. I think it is clear that the Home Package Russia service is beneficial to use for a short stay in Crimea, and the Home Package Russia + service is beneficial for a long stay, well, at least 2-3 weeks

For the sake of the experiment, we went to the MTS salon and bought a SIM card with a smart tariff and the “Russia + Home Package” option. The manager assured us that in the Crimea the connection will work the same as in the home region and no additional expenses will be required. One of these days one of our employees will go to the peninsula on vacation and test the MTS connection.

Offer from Beeline

The most favorable prices are from local mobile operators in the Crimea. But many subscribers do not want to change their number. Beeline has prepared uniform prices for them. Incoming calls are charged at 2 rubles / min, outgoing calls in Russia - 2 rubles / min, SMS - 2 rubles / piece. The Internet is more expensive than that of MTS - the first three megabytes per day for 3 rubles, then a package of 110 MB worth 200 rubles is activated. After its exhaustion, the cost of traffic is 2 rubles / MB. There are no modifier options on Beeline.

What will MegaFon offer

Among all Russian mobile operators, MegaFon turned out to be the most generous. If you go to the Crimea, then only with him. MegaFon SIM cards are suitable for both the Internet and calls. Current rates:

• Incoming from Crimean numbers - free of charge, any others - 2 rubles / min.
• Calls to mobile and landline Russian numbers - 2 rubles / min.
• Outgoing SMS within the Russian Federation - 2 rubles / pc.
• Internet - 2.2 rubles / MB.

The Internet is not the most profitable, but its cost is easily reduced by the “Internet in Crimea” option. For only 99 rubles you get a package of 60 MB. This is enough for communication on social networks and even for calls via instant messengers.

The "Crimea" option opens up alternative billing for subscribers. The subscription fee on it is 15 rubles / day, all incoming calls are free. But the cost of other services soars - calls within Russia will cost 4 rubles / min, mobile Internet - 5 rubles / MB, sending SMS - 3 rubles / piece. MegaFon will offer its subscribers another option - "Unlimited incoming in Crimea", the monthly fee for it is 30 rubles / day. Incoming calls become free, but the basic cost of other services does not change.

Offer from Tele2

Oddly enough, but this operator turned out to be the most expensive. Although everything should have been exactly the opposite. The cost of 1 Mb of traffic in the Crimea will be 3 rubles, outgoing calls are charged at 3 rubles / min. Incoming calls cost only 1 rub/min – less than competitors. Sending text message for any phones in the Russian Federation costs 3 rubles.

For the Internet, we recommend the useful option "Unlimited Internet in Crimea". It costs as much as 300 rubles per day and provides an unlimited amount of traffic. True, only the first 200 MB are available at maximum speed. Further, the access speed is limited to 128 kbps. On days when the connection was inactive, the subscription fee is not charged.

A trip to the Crimea with a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card

Traveling to Crimea with a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card is not very expensive, but minutes and traffic packages do not work here. In this region there is an alternative tariffing. All incoming calls, including those from international numbers, are free. Outgoing calls in Crimea, Sevastopol and Russia are charged at 2.9 rubles / min, outgoing SMS - 2.9 rubles / piece. Calls around the world cost 49 rubles / min, international SMS - 5.9 rubles / piece. While on the peninsula, the phone is registered in the networks of one of the local mobile operators.

What is the result

Our mobile operators make travel to Crimea expensive. Even the Federal Antimonopoly Service does not save. On the one hand, prices have gone down a bit. But on the other hand, the abolition of roaming should be a complete preservation of home rates. In the near future, this will become a reality - you just need to wait for the actions of our government. So far, we recommend traveling to the sea with MTS SIM cards.

MTS was pleased with the fact that it has its own towers in Crimea and all communications on the territory of the peninsula operate according to the laws of domestic roaming, which means that you can get off with either an expensive tariff, in which services are provided when traveling in Russia on the terms of the home region. Or connect the "Home package Russia +".

MegaFon is more expensive, and Beeline and Tele2 turned out to be the most expensive (here's a discounter for you). There is also an alternative option - we come to rest, buy a local SIM card and install it as a second one, using inexpensive communication and cheap Internet.

And it’s best to arrange a real vacation for yourself and break away from your smartphone - you can post fresh photos on social networks in the evening by connecting to one of the public (and free) Wi-Fi points. In addition, in the near future, Russian operators will have a new competitor - they will have to adapt to it.

UPD: Our employee went to the Crimea with an MTS SIM card, as we described above, by connecting the "Russia + Home Package" option. As practice has shown, indeed, MTS does not consider the presence of a subscriber in the Crimea for roaming and the Internet, and minutes are debited from the package, but the money is not spent.

Most modern people use smartphones every day. This technique differs from conventional phones in that it has a large touch screen and many extras. opportunities. Among them, access to any Internet resource, installation of various applications of interest. Now using a smartphone, you can pay for various services, manage your finances, order goods in stores, etc. But all this would not be possible without mobile Internet. Telecom operators offer many different tariff plans for connection, including Internet traffic. There are several large companies in Crimea that provide subscribers with access to the network from mobile device. Their SIM cards can be purchased at any communication salon or company store. Most mobile Internet tariffs include a package of minutes, SMS, traffic gigabytes and have a fixed monthly cost. The rating includes the best mobile internet rates in Crimea.
