Mobile internet has become a part of everyday life. Social networks, data transfer, online communication - without all this, it is impossible to live a day. For comfortable use of mobile Internet services, it is necessary to correctly select the appropriate tariff.
Types of tariffs for mobile Internet
At the moment, all such tariffs can be divided into three types: per megabyte, conditionally unlimited and unlimited.
The first type is gradually disappearing, because it becomes unprofitable to pay for each megabyte with a constant increase in the downloaded information. However, if a person uses mobile Internet very little, then such a tariff can be very attractive.
Conditionally unlimited tariffs are now the most common among mobile Internet users. Usually the paid amount of gigabytes per month is given, according to the tariff plan. As soon as the set limit is reached, the speed of the mobile Internet drops dramatically. Payment for the use of services is made once a month, at a subscription fee, on the same date when the tariff was connected.
Unlimited mobile Internet is available only to the wealthiest users. It is very expensive and is often included in the unlimited tariffs for cellular communications in general. On the other hand, the quality of cellular networks in Russia is still lagging behind European or American counterparts, so the speed will be the same on both unlimited and conditionally unlimited tariffs. All this leads to the fact that from the point of view of economy, conditionally unlimited tariffs are the most profitable.
Average cost of mobile Internet services
Usually, the cost of a conditionally unlimited tariff is from 300 to 500 rubles per month. This is the average price that does not depend on the mobile operator. For this money, the user receives a tariff with a speed limit of 4 or 8 gigabytes. The subscription fee can be charged both every day in equal amounts, and once every 30 days at the same time. The cost of a completely unlimited tariff will be several thousand rubles per month.
Many mobile operators, in order to attract new customers, offer additional options to the mobile Internet, for example, the same tariffication throughout the country, favorable prices for Internet traffic in roaming, payment for the time spent on the network without reference to speed and thresholds, etc. etc. Also, cellular operators offer to purchase communicators under their own brands at a very favorable price with a grace period for using mobile Internet services.
