Mobile operators offer their subscribers a variety of tariff plans, and choosing the best one is not easy. What should be the choice strategy in order not to be mistaken?
It is necessary
- - advertising brochures with descriptions of tariff plans of different operators;
- - assistance of the manager of the mobile communication salon.
Instructions
Step 1
Get an idea of what tariffs are generally offered to subscribers by mobile operators and what is the difference between them. It is necessary to understand that simply the most profitable and cheapest tariff does not exist - operators, quite naturally, do not just provide communication services, they also want to receive some kind of benefit, otherwise why would they work at all. But there is a huge variety of different tariff plans designed for this or that type of use, and each subscriber can choose the most convenient one for himself, so that he does not have to overpay. Read carefully all the tariff plans of the operators, mark the most interesting for yourself.
Step 2
Try to form a clear picture of the use of mobile communications for yourself. You can even draw up some kind of diagrams and graphs, but this is for those who like to conduct research work. The main thing is to calculate how much money you spend on communication on a monthly basis. Mark for yourself the types of services you use most often, see which operators and under which tariff plans provide these services cheaper. If, for example, you often have to call MTS numbers in your home network, and for a long time, the most convenient tariff plan for you will be "Super MTS" with free calls within your home network. Beeline and MegaFon also offer their subscribers similar tariff plans, but for communication within their home network. But - just keep in mind that calls to landline phones and numbers of other operators will be more expensive, and much more. Otherwise, how can the operator compensate for the loss of money on the provision of free calls? By the way, expensive calls to numbers of other operators and to long-distance calls may cause such a tariff to be rejected.
Step 3
For those who wish to call any local phone without worrying about recharging the account, plans with a monthly fee, which include a solid package of minutes for calls to numbers of all local mobile operators and to landline phones, are suitable. At the same time, communication within the home network is practically not charged. The package of minutes often includes calls to numbers of the same operator, only to another region. All operators offer lines with a monthly fee - there are some subtleties, but the principle is the same. The most interesting are the tariffs in which the subscription fee includes SMS / MMS and Internet.
Step 4
When choosing a tariff plan for travel, it is better to opt for those that provide special conditions when traveling outside your home region. MTS Smart and Smart + tariffs with a subscription fee include the option “Like at home everywhere” in the starter package of services, which, as you might guess from its name, provides for calls at the rates of your home region when traveling across Russia. The tariff plan "All Inclusive L" from MegaFon also provides similar conditions in Russia, but there is also a very solid package of Internet traffic and SMS to mobile numbers in the home region throughout the country. And when you switch to "All inclusive VIP", all restrictions are removed, except for international calls.
