The launch of mobile communications from the company is not due to the desire to capture the cellular communications market, but to give its customers the opportunity to use absolutely the entire range of services (mobile phone, home Internet, landline phone, digital television) with a single personal account, convenient payment methods and halved prices. In a word, mobile connection from Rostelecom - this is beneficial for their clients

I want a SIM card!

How to connect?

You can connect at any sales and service office. The closest one to you can be found at this link:

How much does it cost to connect?

Connection is free. After you receive a SIM card, you need to decide on the tariff plan that suits you. Next, top up the account of your new number with an amount equal to the monthly payment for the tariff (i.e., if you chose a tariff for 120 rubles/month, then top up the balance by 120 rubles). To activate your chosen tariff you must:

• Go to tariff "SUPER SIMKA S". Send an SMS to the number 220 message with number 11
• Go to tariff "SUPER SIMKA M". Send an SMS to the number 220 message with number 12
• Go to tariff "SUPER SIM L". Send an SMS to the number 220 message with number 13
• Go to tariff "SUPERSIMKA XL". Send an SMS to the number 220 message with number 14
• Go to tariff "SUPER SIM XXL". Send an SMS to the number 220 message with number 17

Which tariff should I choose?

In fact, each tariff is good in its own way. To decide, you need to decide for what purpose you most often use your mobile phone. Do you call out of town or to local numbers? How often do you need mobile Internet, etc. We tried to consider each tariff as objectively as possible and compile a short report

Prices in Moscow are higher than those indicated here. On all tariffs, unused minutes and megabytes are carried over to the next month.

Internet traffic this does not apply - you can use your megabytes everywhere, throughout Russia

Attention! information for existing subscribers! From June 1, 2017, changes have been made to the tariffs. If you were already connected to Rostelecom Mobile Communications earlier, then now the parameters of your tariff do not match those indicated above - there were different prices for the same names. The current parameters of your current tariff can be found by command *103#

Transfer from Beeline/Megafon/MTS to Rostelecom

Briefly:

1. Come to Rostelecom and write application for number transfer
2. Are you waiting? several days while the transition takes place (the old number will continue to work as usual during the transition)
3. You receive SMS— when the transition ends, you will receive a corresponding message on your phone.
4. You pull out old SIM card- insert a Rostelecom SIM card instead
5. Choose a tariff and activate it

More details:

To switch from an alternative operator to Rostelecom, you need to come to the sales office - here you will write an application to transfer your number to Rostelecom's service. Next, you will be given a SIM card with a temporary Rostelecom number. You won’t have to use it - for the next 9 days, your old SIM card will still be active until the number transfer procedure is completed. So put the new Rostelecom SIM card in the closet for the time being. The only condition is that you need to put 100 rubles on a new SIM card for the transition to take place. If the balance is zero, then at most you will only be able to receive calls from your home phone.

An application to switch to Rostelecom is processed by Tele2 (MTS, Beeline) - 9 days. Your old operator will try to keep you as a subscriber by offering profitable offer. Naturally, this will all be temporary, and then you will be returned to your old tariff. There is no need to pay attention to this. If you still change your mind, you can cancel the transition at the sales office

After ~9 days you will receive an SMS:

Rostelecom will notify you that at this time the service will completely switch to its networks. This means that on this day and at this time you can pull out old SIM card operator Tele2 (MTS, Beeline, etc.) and insert new SIM card Rostelecom. Don't forget to have your balance 100 rubles

By default, you will have a tariff connected "SUPER SIM FREE" - This is the so-called starting tariff for everyone, but we do not recommend staying on it. Calls to all phones on it are still affordable - 90 kopecks/minute, but the traffic fee is simply monstrous - 10 rubles/megabyte. You can check that you have exactly this tariff initially using the command *103#

To activate the desired tariff, top up your account at the required amount(depending on the tariff). For example, I chose “SUPER SIM S”. We deposit 120 rubles into the account. We write an SMS to number 220 with the number 11. For more details, see the section “How much does a connection cost” at the beginning of the article?

When you start your phone for the first time with a new SIM card, it may ask you to reboot to apply the settings

Coverage area

Rostelecom uses the technical infrastructure of the cellular operator Tele2 (technology MVNO). Therefore, if you have comfortable reception in your usual place of residence on a Tele2 SIM card, then you can safely switch to Rostelecom - the signal level and operation will be identical.

Question and answer

Is it possible to connect a direct landline number?

Yes, on the tariff plans “SUPERSIMKA L”, “SUPERSIMKA XXL”, “SUPERSIMKA XL” it is possible to connect a direct (short) number. Subscription fee - 3 rubles per day. Attention! If you previously had a direct number connected to Tele2 or MTS, then when you switch to Rostelecom you will lose it. Those. unfortunately, your “former” short number cannot be connected in any way - you need to choose a new one.

The message "Reduced speed service (technological) is connected". What means?

This means that your package of megabytes in the tariff plan has come to an end (you can check with the command *100*12# ) and the connection speed is reduced to a minimum (usually no more than 56 kbps). But at the same time, you can surf the Internet and they won’t take money for it. After the billing month ends and you top up your account with the amount of the subscription fee, your megabyte package will be available again.

What are the disadvantages of mobile communications from Rostelecom? (updated)

There are no free SMS to number 900 (Sberbank mobile banking). Those. if you don’t have money on your phone, you won’t be able to transfer it to your account from the card (this is only possible if you have free SMS in your tariff). In general, all outgoing SMS to number 900 are paid (transfer to another card, put money on the phone) (This problem has already been fixed, updated 06/16/2017)

I think that most readers of my blog are aware that Rostelecom bought major provider mobile communications Tele2 and made it hers subsidiary company. This was talked about a lot in the news and discussed on forums and social networks. At the same time, it was decided not to abandon the already well-known and promoted brand.
And now, some time after this, Rostelecom decided to simultaneously sell virtual cellular communication services under its brand according to the model

At the same time, the operator entered the market with a whole line of tariffs with the general name Supersimka. Let's take a closer look at them.
The current list of tariff plans can be viewed on the website rt.ru. It looks like this:

I would like to note that these are tariff plans that are quite competitive on the market, including prepaid minutes, SMS messages and Internet traffic. Although their prices and conditions differ in each region, this is unlikely to surprise anyone now: competitors also “sin” like this.
The main feature is free calls within the network - both to mobile and landline numbers of the operator.

The youngest in the line is the tariff.

This is a tariff plan without a monthly fee and billed per second.
The cost of 1 second is 3 kopecks. Using simple mathematical operations, we calculate the cost of a minute - 2 rubles.
SMS in your region - 1 rub. To other regions - 2.5 rubles.
The starting balance can be either 0 rub. or 100 rub.
Unfortunately, this plan does not offer free on-net calls. And this is a minus.
Internet access is expensive and Super SIM card FREE is clearly not for this. For example, in our region the cost is 8.90 rubles. per MegaByte. In our time of unlimited tariffs, this is an outright rip-off.

The second is the SuperSimka M tariff plan.
It is the most affordable with prepaid minutes, messages and data.

This tariff plan can be called pseudo-unlimited, since after the subscriber uses his Gigabyte, he will still have access to the Internet, only the speed will be reduced to 64 Kbps.
And yes, here all outgoing calls to Rostelecom numbers within the home region are free.
Starter package: Monthly fee +1 kopeck.

The most interesting tariffs are the most expensive - SuperSimka X and SuperSimka XL. There are already up to 1500 prepaid minutes and up to 10GB of traffic.
The size of the starter package is the same: Monthly fee +1 kopeck.

Now let's summarize a little:

Advantages of SuperSimka TP from Rostelecom:

Free calls within the network in the home region + Discount on OTA home landline phone (if you still have it connected) + Participation in the RTK bonus program + Affordable prices

The disadvantages include the fact that on these plans there is a gradual debiting of funds from the subscriber's account if he has not performed any actions within a certain period. That is, if you do not make calls or do not use the services at all for more than 4 months in a row, then funds from your account will begin to be quickly debited at a rate of 3 rubles. per day until it reaches 0 and the SIM card is blocked.

P.S.: And finally, I want to show you one interesting fact. If you look at the current Tele2 tariff line in your city, you can find with interest that they are not much different from the Super-Simka family that Rostelecom MNVO offers. As an example, I will show what is offered here in the Saratov region:

As they say, find 5 differences. Although, on the other hand, why be surprised - these are two sides of the same coin and, most likely, the same specialists were involved in the development of both lines.

Rostelecom, after a two-year break, is returning to the mobile communications market - now in the format of a virtual operator. From November 7, a Rostelcom SIM card can be issued at any sales office of the company in the Urals and Perm Territory. It is assumed that mobile communications will allow the universal operator to increase the loyalty of the existing subscriber base, expand its presence in the corporate market, and also launch converged services for the Internet of things, smart home and industrial Internet.

“You cannot step into the same river twice,” says the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. However, this statement does not seem to apply to Rostelecom. The company keeps entering the same river for the second, third and even fourth time. The launch of mobile communication services under the Rostelecom brand is a vivid confirmation of this.

Until 2005, the company (then it was the regional operators South Ural Cellular Telephone, Uralsvyazinform, Ermak RMS, Tyumenruskom) was already building and operating mobile networks in the Urals. In 2005, all cellular assets were united under a single Utel brand. In 2012, the Utel brand was replaced by the federal Rostelecom. Well, in 2014, the state company transferred all its mobile assets to a joint venture (JV) with the operator Tele2. This step was supposed to improve business efficiency.

The creation of the joint venture freed Rostelecom from the significant investment burden necessary for development mobile business. Thanks to this, the company concentrated on developing high speed internet By optical technologies. In turn, Tele2, having received mobile assets and the license base of Rostelecom, short time launched the construction and modernization of the network for the introduction of 3G, 4G, and also significantly increased the geography and number of service delivery regions.

Two last year Rostelecom focused exclusively on the market fixed line, and Tele2 - on mobile.

However, changes in the telecommunications market and the rapid development of Internet of Things technologies forced Rostelecom management to return to mobile communications. However, this time the company did not launch networks independently. An economically viable virtual operator (MVNO) model was used. The partner of the project, as expected, was a joint venture based on Tele2, 45% of the shares of which are owned by Rostelecom.

What is an MVNO?

A mobile virtual network operator is a company that uses the existing infrastructure of another operator, but sells services under its own brand.

The full MVNO model implies that the virtual operator uses only the radio part of the partner (frequencies, base stations and networks connecting them). The virtual operator himself is responsible for everything else: licenses, own numbering resource, switching, billing, SMS center and subscriber service center. Thus, with a full MVNO model, the operator can offer its own mobile product. Rostelecom followed this path.

The company uses the existing infrastructure of Tele2, but has its own licenses for the provision of mobile communication services, its own numbering resource, its own switching center, billing and customer service center, which, by the way, is located in the Chelyabinsk region.

Rostelecom tariffs for mobile communications

From a pricing point of view, Rostelecom’s proposals for mobile communication services almost completely copy Tele2’s tariffs. Subscribers have access to four “Super SIM” package tariffs with a different set of services: S, M, L, XL (full copies of Tele2 tariffs “Black”, “Very Black”, “Super Black”, “Mega Black”). In addition, there is a tariff without a monthly fee “Super SIM Free” with a single price for all destinations in the home region, as well as a tariff for modems and tablets. There are additional “Simple Internet” options with different packages mobile traffic: S, M and L.

Rostelecom's entry into the mobile communications market may primarily be of interest to the company's existing subscribers. The fact is that Rostelecom mobile communications users can communicate completely free of charge with home phone subscribers in their region. As part of the promotion, all calls between Rostelecom landlines and mobile phones are free. When purchasing a SIM card, you also receive a one-time 50% discount on the subscription fee for home telephony services. In this way, the state-owned company seeks to minimize the outflow of wireline phone customers.

In addition, Rostelecom mobile users will be included in bonus program, which will allow you to receive discounts, for example, on subscription fees for home phone, interactive TV, buying films in the media library, etc. All discounts are promised to be added in the very near future to your personal account on the corporate website of Rostelecom, as well as to the mobile application.

In the near future, Rostelecom clients will be able to combine their personal account for wired telephony, Internet and interactive television services with a mobile account. Moreover, representatives of the operator promised to launch a single account combining 4 communication services for the whole family with the ability to plan and quota mobile Internet, packages of minutes and SMS, purchase of films, and activation of Parental Control. This integration will make it possible to launch “family tariffs,” as well as general Internet packages for a variety of devices, and a combined package for home and mobile Internet.

In order to become the owner of a Rostelecom SIM card, you need to use at least one of the company’s main services - home phone, Home Internet or Interactive TV. You can apply for it at any Rostelecom sales and service center or by ordering on the operator’s website.

The Rostelecom SIM card is suitable for any subscriber devices (smartphones, tablets, mobile phones), as it is available in three form factors: nano, mini and standard.

In addition to individual clients, Rostelecom mobile communications are also available to corporate clients. Special tariff offers for small, medium and large businesses.

The company does not deny that they are actually returning to the work patterns of two or three years ago. When connecting service packages, for example, Internet access and mobile communications, the flexible system discounts Rostelecom also offers a convenient cloud solution “Mobile Device Management” - a service for secure remote use of corporate information systems and resources on employee mobile devices.

Comprehensive communication services: now also mobile services

Rostelecom hopes that the company will be able to become a single provider of communication services for customers, offering fixed telephony, Internet, interactive TV and mobile services.

“By launching mobile communication services under the Rostelecom brand, we offer our subscribers to take their usual home communication services and content with them. Now they will be available anywhere there is a mobile connection. For example, on a smartphone you can watch the same set of TV channels as at home. Our company will unite home and mobile phones into one network, and on-net calls are always the most profitable. In the future, we plan to develop family tariff offers, for example, to provide a comprehensive package for home and mobile Internet services. Rostelecom’s services at the most attractive rates are now always close to our subscribers, not only at home, but also outside,” notes Anton Kolpakov, Vice President and Director of the Ural macro-regional branch of Rostelecom PJSC.

In addition, Rostelecom relies on various mobile applications that help make the use and management of communication services as comfortable and simple as possible. For example, the Interactive TV application using the Multiscreen service allows you to watch the same content on the screen of a smartphone or tablet as on your TV at home. The My Rostelecom application is a mobile personal account in which you can easily manage services and options, top up your account, participate in the bonus program, and so on. There is also a popular mobile application “Gosuslugi”, which is supported by Rostelecom. A mobile IP-telephony application “Allyo” (analogous to Skype) will soon be presented, which will be linked to fixed-line telephone numbering and will help make long-distance calls at favorable rates.

The launch of MVNO will also make it easier for Rostelecom to provide services for the Internet of Things, smart home and industrial Internet. The fact is that most innovative gadgets interact with each other via SIM cards and mobile communications. Taking into account the fact that the state-owned company is actively investing in the Internet of Things, cloud technologies and industrial Internet, the launch of mobile communication services looks logical. To potential clients Now there will be no need to conclude several contracts with different operators.

Summary

In order to organize all the information about the emergence of the “new” “old” cellular operator in the Urals, we have formulated several theses.

1. If you are not a Rostelecom client and do not intend to become one, the launch of mobile communications from this operator will not be of interest to you. The presented tariffs are identical to Tele2 tariffs.

2. If you are a Rostelecom client or are planning to become one, switching to mobile communications from Rostelecom may be of interest. Firstly, you will receive free calls to landlines and from landlines to mobiles. Secondly, you can get a 50% discount on your home phone subscription fee if you use one. Thirdly, mobile communications are included in the Rostelecom bonus program. The accumulated points can be spent on communication services, purchasing digital content, films, etc.

3. You can manage Rostelecom mobile communications from personal account operator and mobile application(no need to update).

4. To switch to Rostelecom mobile communications, you can use the number saving service. To transfer directly, you need to write an application and pay 100 rubles for the fact of porting the number.

5. Corporate clients Rostelecom once again have the opportunity to receive all communication services from one operator at special prices. This in turn simplifies document flow and increases the level of customer service.

6. Rostelecom clients can count on the availability of comprehensive Internet of Things, “smart home” services and services for automating production processors using the industrial Internet.

It is worth noting that integration processes of combining or bonusing different communication services are typical for many telecom companies.

For example, subscribers of the MTS operator can receive discounts on the subscription fee for wired Internet and TV services. Subscribers of MegaFon and the Dom.ru provider can receive cross discounts on the subscription fee. At Beeline you can use a single package offer for mobile communications, wired Internet and interactive TV. Clients of Intersvyaz premium tariffs can use 4G Internet free of charge using special SIM cards (MegaFon acts as a technology partner).

Thus, Rostelecom's new proposal is a completely predictable and justified step towards building a loyal subscriber base for the future.

Mobile Internet is becoming more and more in demand in modern society. This is not surprising when literally everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. Modern users strive for comfort, which, however, costs some money.

Mobile operators provide access to the Internet on certain conditions, which may seem quite attractive. At first sight. But upon closer examination, pitfalls begin to be seen, which negate all the “pluses and benefits”. For example, many operators cannot distribute traffic, or distribution to other devices requires additional charges. Also, the Internet for almost all operators has ceased to be unlimited - operators do not want to lose their benefits and introduce so-called "packages".

Rostelecom will show everyone its class!

Against this background, the offer from Rostelecom can be called unique. It will definitely be in demand by people who value possibilities and practicality. The SUPERSIMKA family of tariff plans allows you to choose the right tariff for everyone who needs UNLIMITED INTERNET and unlimited calls.

The most attractive of them, in our opinion, is the “SUPER SIM XXL” plan. It provides unlimited access to the Internet from mobile devices and PCs (using modems and routers). At the same time, it is not at all forbidden to distribute traffic to other devices. In addition, there is the possibility of unlimited calls to ALL phones (landline and mobile) Rostelecom in all Russian regions and 200 minutes to numbers of all operators in the home region.

Speed, speed, speed!!!

Rostelecom (mobile Rostelecom) is a virtual operator operating on the basis of the TELE2 network. It works wherever TELE2 is available. This means that the connection speed of Rostelecom's mobile Internet is almost identical to the speed of TELE2. And, it must be admitted that the speed of TELE2 is quite high, and the network is quite stable. Using the Rostelecom Internet, the subscriber receives comfort and convenience at a lower price than other operators offer.

Mobile communication "Rostelecom", reviews of which in Russia are mostly positive, was created on the basis of the organization of the same name, which became the successor to the USSR Ministry of Communications. Huge power a large number of professional specialists, development potential - the company is actively implementing all this today, trying to catch up with its competitors and push out their composition of the "Big Three".

As of 2017, the organization employs more than 140 thousand employees, all of them are busy ensuring the smooth operation of not only mobile communications, but also wired home internet. Not so long ago, Rostelecom signed an agreement with Tele2 Russia, due to which both parties benefited: the first was able to significantly expand its coverage, and the second began to control the general state of affairs of the company's mobile television systems.

Rostelecom: history of mobile communications

Mobile communications "Rostelecom", reviews high quality which spread, among other things, due to the effect word of mouth, initially had a great advantage over all other telecom operators. The fixed telephony base received in 1990 from the USSR Ministry of Communications helped create high-quality Most of the first mobile numbers functioned as part of subsidiaries of this company, in particular, Skylink, Yeniseitelecom, Baikalwestcom, etc.

The situation changed in the winter of 2014, when the assets of Tele2 Russia were merged into the company. This made it possible to achieve huge cost savings by combining capacity and freeing up resources. The money received was used to modernize the network, as well as for advertising to attract new customers. As of 2016, the company's total revenue amounted to more than 295 billion rubles, and the number of mobile communications users has already exceeded 15 million.

Network coverage

If you decide to purchase a cell phone, then the most The best way form an impression of Rostelecom mobile communications - reviews about the quality of coverage. As of December 2017, the company serves more than 70 Russian regions, which are conventionally divided into 7 macro-branches - “Center”, “Ural”, “Volga”, “North-West”, “Far East”, “Siberia” and “South” . Within each of them, work is constantly underway to build and improve existing base stations that affect network coverage.

Since the company is exclusively Russian, you will not be able to use its services when traveling abroad. But you shouldn’t despair, because there are roaming partners operating there that provide communication services to Russian operators at fairly competitive prices. Tariffing will depend on which country you decide to go to; as a rule, the most expensive are countries that are too little popular among Russian residents, with their detailed list can be found on the official website of the mobile operator.

Company Features

If you have already purchased a device with Rostelecom mobile communications, positive reviews about the quality of communication will not be new to you. In addition to direct cellular communication services, the company also leases its capacity to other operators; this is a completely normal practice; due to this, they are able to reduce the cost of providing their services to customers. In addition, in some regions of Russia, Rostelecom is a monopoly operator, and local residents use it mainly, but casual guests here would have a hard time if the company did not allow the use of its base stations.

As of 2017, all of the company’s cellular assets are under joint management, in which Tele2 also participates. Over the three years of existence of such an alliance, it was possible to completely restore the operation of base stations using a completely new model in Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg, Tver, Arkhangelsk and surrounding areas. According to analysts, the company is taking a course to teach its customers to use the mobile Internet more often and even use it to make calls.

Moscow and region

The simplest tool that will allow you to choose Rostelecom mobile communications is reviews. Moscow is the most convenient city for registering a SIM card. It is there that customers are offered the most convenient tariffs, for example, in December 2017, the “On all L” plan was introduced, on which for only 399 rubles per month you can get 12 gigabytes of Internet traffic and 500 minutes for calls to absolutely any Russian numbers. Distinctive feature- all components of the package can be transferred to the next month.

Rostelecom, together with Tele2, have taken a course towards simplifying tariffs as much as possible, which is why no more than 10-15 of them are offered in each region. In Moscow and the region, “On All XL” is very popular, which includes 1,500 minutes to all numbers in the Russian Federation, as well as 30 gigabytes of Internet traffic, the subscription fee here is 799 rubles per month, which is very profitable compared to other operators.

There is also a weak link in Rostelecom - mobile communications in the Moscow region, reviews of which leave much to be desired. Customers often complain about connection interruptions and low network coverage. Of course, the company is aware of this problem and is trying to solve it, but it takes quite a lot of time. As a kind of compensation, we can consider the appearance on the market of the Super SIM S tariff plan, which provides customers with free calls to Rostelecom numbers throughout Russia, as well as 5 gigabytes of Internet traffic, the subscription fee here is only 7 rubles per day.

Voronezh

Not so long ago, a strong link appeared in Rostelecom mobile communications - Voronezh, reviews of local residents about the company are full of positivity and joy. Previously, all current clients of the company were served by the Nizhny Novgorod organization cellular”, and they constantly had difficulties obtaining mobile communication and Internet services.

After the reorganization of the local operator, business immediately improved, and the number of connected customers in the region increased significantly. Customers note a large number of convenient and transparent tariffs, as well as noticeable improvements in the quality of communication, which allow them to use services without fear that the conversation may be interrupted at any time.

Tariff plans

Despite the fact that the company also provides services, Rostelecom’s main priority is mobile communications; tariffs, reviews about the company, details - all this is publicly available to everyone. All tariff plans offered by it are mainly divided into two types: package and standard. The first represent a whole range of services: minutes for calls, Internet packages, SMS messages, etc. For the client, such tariff plans are the most profitable, since for a relatively low price they receive all the necessary services at once.

Standard tariff plans are gradually becoming a thing of the past, since they are much more expensive than modern ones. In this case there is no talk about packages of traffic, minutes and messages; the client uses a pre-established tariff, and he can connect for additional fee necessary options with traffic, SMS or minutes. The cost of connecting tariff plans and their tariffs will directly depend on the region in which the client is located. As a rule, the most expensive communications are in underdeveloped areas located in the Far East and the northern part of the country.
