Crimea to which operator to connect the beeline. Cellular communication in the Crimea. Beeline, Megafon and Tele2 in Crimea

The next tourist season in Crimea is not far off and soon the peninsula will again receive millions of tourists. In addition to the traditional search for housing, Crimean guests will also be interested in the issue of mobile communications: the choice of a mobile operator and a suitable, most convenient tariff. The portal "" understood which operators work in Crimea and what services they offer.

At the moment, five mobile operators operate on the territory of the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol: MTS (Krasnodar branch), Win Mobile, KrymTelecom, VolnaMobile and SevMobile. The overwhelming majority of Crimeans use the services of MTS, which at first was the only operator on the peninsula and, of course, gathered an impressive client base. Nevertheless, SIM cards from other companies will also be of interest to vacationers, providing the most diverse tariff plans and promotions.

MTS (Crimea \\ Krasnodar Territory)

As we mentioned above, the most popular and the only all-Russian mobile operator in Crimea is MTS. Due to sanctions, the Crimean peninsula is served by the company's Krasnodar branch. Sims of this operator can be purchased almost anywhere - from train stations to bus stops.

The cost of an MTS SIM card in Crimea is from 150 rubles. The basic tariff includes a package of 15 minutes of free outgoing calls over the home network. Calls to Ukrainian numbers in Crimea are charged at 2.5 rubles. per minute, and calls to numbers of other mobile operators, landline and Ukrainian phones are charged at 10 rubles. in a minute. The cost of sending SMS to all phone numbers of the MTS operator is 1.5 rubles, and to the phones of other operators - 1.95 rubles. To send a multimedia message (MMS) you will have to spend 6.5 rubles. Note also that there is no monthly subscription fee and mandatory top-ups in MTS SIM cards.

For those for whom 20 minutes a day is not enough, the operator offers to connect an additional rate of 100 minutes for outgoing calls to all Russian MTS numbers. The daily subscription fee for use is 1.5 rubles.

As for mobile communications with other Russian operators, in this regard, the owner of the Crimean SIM card will have to fork out a little more. In particular, in order for the number "Beeline" or "Tele2" you have to pay 3.5 rubles. per minute of outgoing call. The monthly subscription fee for this tariff will be 50 rubles.

We cannot leave aside also SMS and mobile Internet. In this regard, MTS offers its customers a Smart SMS package (includes 10 SMS messages per day for 2.5 rubles), as well as Bit Smart packages (includes 75 MB of mobile Internet per day for 7.5 rubles) and "Super Bit Smart" (includes 150 MB of mobile Internet per day for 9.5 rubles).

Also, new MTS subscribers, after selecting the desired tariff, must immediately turn off additional services (connected by default), since an additional fee is charged for them. To do this, you need to go to your personal account on the company's website and deactivate unnecessary services.

Win Mobile

The Win Mobile operator was also one of the first to provide all residents and guests of Crimea with mobile communications in the GSM standard, and in May 2015 the subscribers of this operator were able to evaluate the capabilities of the 3G network.

Note that the cost of calls to the home network and to the numbers of Crimean operators in these tariff plans is 3 rubles. per minute, and calls to Russia - 10 rubles. in a minute.

What should you choose?

Summing up our review, we can conclude that the most convenient operator for calls within Crimea is MTS (“Additional 100 minutes” service for 1.5 rubles per day). Firstly, this operator covers the entire territory of the peninsula, and secondly, it provides very favorable conditions for communication within the network.

The priority operator for using the Internet will be Win Mobile (Forsage tariff - 400 rubles per month for 15 gigabytes of traffic) - if you need a lot of traffic, Crimetelecom (tariff "Contact" - 150 rubles per month for 5 gigabytes of traffic) the best traffic-price ratio, as well as "Sevmobile" ("RadioNyanya" tariff - 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.

To make profitable calls to mainland Russia numbers, Win Mobile will suit you, where by activating the “My Russia” service (3 rubles per day), you will pay only 2 rubles. per minute of outgoing call.

The most economical is the Sun. The subscription fee is 0 rubles, for the numbers of the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory, the payment for calls is 1 kopeck per 1 second.

Beeline in Crimea

There is no Beeline operator in Crimea. This connection does not work even if the card is purchased in Russia. Communication does not work on the territory of Crimea. In order to have access to Beeline services from a Russian number, in Crimea, you should connect to other cellular operators that act as intermediaries: K-telecom, Sevtelecom, Krymtelecom.

Megaphone in Crimea

The main office in Crimea is located in Sevastopol, for all complex issues you need to contact there.

The operator of the Megafon network offers the Crimea service, it is connected in order to use the connection from the operator of interest in the territory of Crimea. Connection is free, subscriber. fee 15 rubles. per day.

VinMobile in Crimea

Also online through RNKB Internet banking, or through the terminal for replenishment and payment for services at the terminal in the 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 still do not work on the peninsula - they mean MegaFon, MTS, Beeline and Tele2. This creates difficulties for travelers and those who are in the region on business issues. But MTS does not have such difficulties - we enter Crimea and communicate as if we had never left.

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

• On tariffs without a monthly fee, you must activate the option "Russia is at home everywhere". It will cost 7 rubles / day, all included within its framework will be free, outgoing - 3 rubles / min;
• On package tariffs where those included in trips across Russia are paid ("My Unlimited", "Smart Unlimited" and "Smart", "Smart Mini", "Smart Nonstop" and "Hype"), you should use the option "Home package Russia" for 15 rubles / day (there is a version for 100 rubles / month). Inbox becomes free, all packages are still valid. The Internet package works regardless of whether you have connected the option or not;
• The tariffs "Our Smart", "Smart TOP", "Smart Zabugorishche" and "ULTRA" do not need to be connected - these tariff plans keep the home tariffication 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 option "Home package Russia +" is valid for a whole month for 100 rubles - the best option for long trips and business trips.

We go to Crimea with Beeline

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

• The first 3 MB for the current day - 2 rubles / MB;
• 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 go to the Internet in a hotel or in a cafe - via Wi-Fi.

Roaming in Crimea from Tele2

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

To reduce costs, Tele2 offered the deceptive option "At home in Crimea". It makes incoming calls free - that's all. All other terms of service remain in full. Why deceiving? Because the houses and the prices are lower, and the packages are valid.

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

Travel to Crimea with MegaFon

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

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

The option "Unlimited incoming calls to 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 LC, most likely, they are already there. The first one is called "Crimea", it costs 15 rubles / day, incoming calls become free, any outgoing calls within the Russian Federation - 4 rubles / min. For some reason, Internet and SMS are becoming more expensive - up to 5 rubles / MB and up to 3 rubles / unit. The second option is called "Internet in Crimea" - it includes 60 MB for 99 rubles.

With what to go to Crimea

This is the situation as of the summer of 2018. The situation can change at any time - the Federal Antimonopoly Service is pressing on mobile operators, forcing them to cancel roaming. Also, a bill is 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, therefore we offer to go with MTS, his SIM cards work here just fine - 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 don't want to change your 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;
• You can purchase an MTS SIM card as a temporary second SIM card - 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 quite common service in Crimean establishments.

Traveling to Crimea makes cell phone subscribers nervous. The thing is that there are no Russian mobile operators there, they (hopefully - not yet) do not work there. A SIM card for Crimea should provide inexpensive communication services while on the territory of the peninsula. And our experts decided to find the best option.

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

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

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

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

Nikolay,18 June 2018 MTS has additional services Home package Russia and Home package Russia +. Communication conditions are the same as in the home region. The first package is 15 rubles. per day when making calls and using the 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 - for a long, well, at least 2-3 weeks

For the sake of experiment, we went to the MTS salon and bought a SIM card with a smart tariff and the option "Home package Russia +". The manager assured us that communication in Crimea 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 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 within Russia - 2 rubles / min, SMS - 2 rubles / pc. The Internet is more expensive than that of MTS - the first three megabytes per day are 3 rubles each, then a package of 110 MB is activated for 200 rubles. After its exhaustion, the cost of traffic is 2 rubles / Mb. There are no modifier options on Beeline.

What MegaFon will offer

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

• Incoming calls from Crimean numbers are free, 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 60 MB package. This is enough for communication on social networks and even for calls through instant messengers.

The "Crimea" option opens up alternative tariffication for subscribers. The subscription fee for 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 / pc. MegaFon will offer its subscribers one more option - "Unlimited incoming calls to Crimea", the subscription fee for it is 30 rubles / day. Incoming calls are free, but the base cost of other services does not change.

Offer from Tele2

Oddly enough, 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 Crimea will be 3 rubles, outgoing calls are charged at 3 rubles / min. Inbox costs only RUB 1 / min, which is less than that of competitors. Sending a text message to 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 Crimea with 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. There is an alternative tariffication in this region. All incoming calls, including those from international numbers, are free. Outgoing calls within Crimea, Sevastopol and Russia are charged at 2.9 rubles / min, outgoing SMS - 2.9 rubles / pc. Worldwide calls cost RUB 49 / min, international SMS - RUB 5.9 / pc. While on the peninsula, the phone is registered in the networks of one of the local cellular operators.

What is the result

Our mobile operators make travel to Crimea expensive. Even the Federal Antimonopoly Service does not help. On the one hand, prices have dropped slightly. But on the other hand, the cancellation of roaming should be a complete preservation of household rates. In the near future it will become a reality - you just need to wait for the actions of our government. So far, we recommend going to the sea with MTS SIM cards.

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

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

And the best thing is to arrange a real rest for yourself and tear yourself 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 traveled to Crimea with an MTS SIM card, as we described above, by activating the "Russia + Home Package" option. As practice has shown, in fact, MTS does not consider the presence of a subscriber in Crimea for roaming and the Internet, and minutes are deducted from the package, while 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 are 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 be impossible 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 a 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, gigabytes of traffic and have a fixed monthly cost. The rating includes the best rates for mobile Internet in Crimea.
