Roaming mts in Crimea. About Crimea and "everywhere at home" Everywhere at home smart in Crimea

On the Crimean peninsula, there is only one GSM network, which was created in 2014 and belongs to the K-Telecom company. To have access to the Crimean people, Russian mobile operators have agreed with Win Mobile and entered into roaming agreements.

True, the quality of communication is rather poor and everyone is talking about this, both ordinary residents and guests of the resort region, and officials. Mobile Internet is functioning very badly, since K-Telecom uses EDGE technology. For example, through VimpelCom you will not be able to access the global network in the city of Sevastopol at all, although Internet roaming works in the rest of the territory. Using MTS roaming in Crimea or Megafon, you will not face such problems.

The main intrigue of Crimea and mobile communications- this is a visible presence in the resort cities of MTS Russia, while officially it is not there. Announcements of tariffs and new packages can be seen in any city of the peninsula, in fact, as well as to buy MTS SIM cards.

These SIM cards work in roaming mode, this can be understood by the appearance of the corresponding icon, therefore, data roaming should be allowed in the phone settings in order to work normally with the mobile Internet. Although the roaming icon will glow, it will not affect the cost of communication if you choose the right tariff. That is, in fact, why the bulk of the Crimean residents are connected to the MTS.

The paradox is that when we find out from the company what kind of roaming in Crimea MTS has, we get the answer - international. In principle, this is logical, because the subscriber is served by Ukrainian networks. But, as mentioned above, there is no roaming in the literal sense of the word. How does this happen? Simply Ukrainian mts, which is called "MTS-Ukraine", belongs to a Russian holding. So, an agreement was reached between ourselves so that the cost of MTS roaming in Russia and Crimea would not differ.

A paradoxical situation emerges: on the Crimean peninsula, Russian tariffs and numbers are used, but Ukrainian operators are working, although officially there is only one local GSM network "K-Telecom" from Win Mobile.

Roaming MTS in Crimea 2020: tariffs

Visitors to the peninsula, coming to the resort from the mainland, enter the zone home roaming from the region "Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea", because of which the cost of communication services will be higher. In order to reduce their expenses, subscribers can use the following methods:

Use Smart mini tariff.
Choose Smart or Smart Unlimited.
Take the "Guest" tariff
Connect the option "Everywhere at home" for 100 rubles.

Let's compare these three tariffs:

Smart mini

Smart

Smart unlimited

Guest

How to activate roaming on MTS in Crimea

There are several ways to activate the “Everywhere at home” service:

using the combination * 111 * 1021 #;
send an SMS to number 111 with the text 1021;
call 0890 and ask the operator to activate the service.

MTS Internet in Crimea roaming

In general, the tariffs for mobile Internet in the MTS holding are the most "tasty", it is enough to use the "SuperBit" service. True, all these iridescent dreams crash like a surf on the Crimean rocks as soon as you set foot on the peninsula, since there are no 3G networks, and even more so LTE.

As vacationers say: MTS Internet in Crimea is the worst Internet.

The fact is that WIN seems to be present, but you simply cannot access the Internet. Simple messages in WhatsApp may not be sent, which is already talking about the opening of sites.

Of course, you can get into the settings of the smartphone, and in manual mode switch to another operator, thereby getting into "real" roaming and for an increased price climb to global network... True, where are the guarantees that another operator will have a faster Internet connection?

Until now, mobile operators operate in Crimea differently from throughout Russia. Perhaps this is due to the fear of sanctions, but providers such as Beeline, Megafon and throughout the peninsula. It is impossible to buy their SIM cards or use the tariffs and services offered to subscribers located in other regions of the Russian Federation. As soon as the owner of such a card is on the territory of Crimea, it automatically connects intranet roaming, because of which the cost of communication increases quite significantly. But is it possible to somehow save money? How to activate roaming in Crimea at no extra cost? To do this, you can use the services of other operators, including local ones.

On the territory of Crimea, there are their own providers - "Volna", "K-telecom" (aka Win Mobile), "Sevmobile" and "Krymtelecom". At the same time, Sevmobile works well exclusively within Sevastopol and its environs. In addition, MTS is also present in Crimea, albeit with some peculiarities. Where should you opt for?

Roaming "MTS" in Crimea

As already noted, this operator is fully operational throughout the entire territory of the peninsula. Therefore, you can not only use the existing connection, but also purchase a local SIM card. When connected on the spot, the subscriber will have the opportunity to set up certain tariffs, which will allow him to travel profitably throughout Russia in the future.

It is unprofitable to use MTS roaming in Crimea, since the local SIM card of this operator offers several attractive tariff plans. The region where this provider is connected in Crimea is the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. As elsewhere in the country, a number of Smart tariffs are currently in force, which offer a certain number of unlimited calls to MTS within the region, Internet traffic and SMS packages.

MTS tariffs in Crimea

For those who use the phone minimally, Mini "is suitable, which will cost only 200 rubles. It includes the following service package: 1 GB of Internet traffic, one thousand minutes for on-net calls, including outside the region, as well as 200 SMS to local SIM cards "MTS" Within the region, calls to SIM cards from other providers will cost one and a half rubles per minute, outside the same they will cost 12 minutes.

If you are planning to call not only MTS subscribers, then it is better to opt for the Smart or Smart Unlimited packages, which imply cheaper inter-network calls. The first will cost 350 rubles per month, the second will cost a little more than 12 rubles per day in the first month of connection and 15 rubles per day for subsequent use.

The local "Guest" tariff will help to replace roaming in Crimea, which provides free incoming and outgoing calls to SIM cards of the same tariff. Any other calls within the region, as well as to MTS subscribers throughout Russia, will cost one and a half rubles per minute. However, the Internet is not included in this package. It is best to additionally connect a service called "SuperBIT Smart", which will cost 10 rubles a day and provide 3 GB of Internet traffic.

If you use your home SIM card "MTS"

If you decide not to purchase a SIM card with local tariff and use roaming in Crimea, how much will it cost?

If you are connected to one of the "Smart" packages (with the exception of "Mini"), most of the services are valid throughout Russia. At the same time, 15 rubles will be deducted from your account every day in roaming. Calls within the package will be free, as well as Internet traffic. In addition to the package, calls will cost 2 rubles per minute to the home region and five rubles within Russia, SMS - 3.80 rubles.

It is also possible to connect to the "Like at home everywhere" service, which is available at almost all tariffs, including archive ones. An exception is the plans "VIP-2014" and "Business without Borders". Service activation will cost 30 rubles, and use will cost seven rubles a day. At the same time, calls within Russia will cost three rubles per minute, and all incoming calls will be free. Besides, this service gives the subscriber one hundred SMS for free.

For Megafon subscribers

As already noted, on the territory of the peninsula there is no local tariff plan"Megaphone". Roaming in Crimea will not be cheap - each outgoing and incoming minute will cost about ten rubles, as well as a megabyte of Internet. An SMS message will cost about five rubles. Such roaming turns on automatically when entering the territory of the autonomous republic.

However, this provider has the opportunity to save money. This year, a special Megafon option is available - Roaming in Crimea. It includes a subscription fee of 15 rubles per day. At the same time, all incoming calls will cost free, outgoing calls will cost five rubles per minute, Internet - megabytes for 5 rubles, SMS - three rubles.

For Beeline subscribers

Speaking about what kind of roaming in Crimea Beeline has, it is worth noting that since the summer of 2016 it has not been international. The cost of calls and the Internet will depend on which tariff plan you have selected in your home region. This provider does not have any special options and offers operating in Crimea.

So, if your home tariff plan is "All for 300", then you will not have any benefits at all. Roaming in Crimea will be exactly the same as in all other regions of Russia. It will be available automatically upon arrival, and the cost of incoming and outgoing calls will be about ten rubles. Sending SMS and megabytes of the Internet costs the same.

If you use the more expensive “All for 500” tariff, the connection will be more profitable. For incoming calls, the first minute will cost three rubles, all subsequent ones will be free. Outgoing calls are charged at three rubles per minute, the same cost for sending SMS and 1 Mb of Internet.

Some other tariff plans of "Beeline" can offer absolutely free incoming calls. At the same time, the “My Country” option, which is popular with this provider, is not available on the territory of Crimea.

For Tele2 subscribers

From 2016 to the present, you can hear that SIM cards of this operator are available for sale on the territory of the peninsula. Does Tele2 have roaming services in Crimea?

According to the statements of the company officials, this connection was “gray”. Until mid-April 2014, Crimea had options designed for travel to all regions of Russia. Currently, there is a special package of options "Tele2". Roaming in Crimea can now be activated for 30 rubles, further use of the option will cost 6 rubles per day. At the same time, incoming calls will be free all the time, and the cost of other services will remain within the limits of the home tariff plan.

A basic tariff is also available, within which all calls cost five rubles per minute (outgoing and incoming), the same is the cost of a megabyte of Internet. The cost of SMS is 3.5 rubles.

YOTA in Crimea

The use of YOTA will be the most expensive in Crimea today. The cost of incoming calls and 1 MB of Internet from this provider costs 9 rubles, outgoing calls - 19 rubles per minute, the same - for sending SMS.

Internet services

As already noted, in some cases it is more profitable not to connect roaming in Crimea, but to purchase a local SIM card. This is especially true for active Internet users.

The highest quality 3G and 4G services are available from the local provider WIN mobile. Also, 3G communication throughout the republic is represented by Krymtelecom, within Sevastopol - by Sevmobile. When roaming is connected, all providers start working through the above operators.

Win mobile

This operator has a special tariff plan designed for vacationers. By connecting "On the Sea", you get free incoming calls, while outgoing calls will cost 3 rubles per minute. 100 MB of the Internet will cost 10 rubles.

On some tariffs, you can activate the My Russia option, the cost of which is 15 rubles one-time plus three rubles per day. At the same time, outgoing calls to any region of the Russian Federation will cost two rubles per minute.

For those who prefer to use only the Internet, the Forsage tariff plan is perfect. It offers 15 GB of internet traffic for only 400 rubles.

Krymtelecom

This provider offers profitable plan"My Crimea", operating throughout the peninsula, with the exception of Sevastopol. The cost of the services is as follows: 20 kopecks - a minute of outgoing calls within the network, one and a half rubles - a minute of conversation in the region, five rubles - a minute of calls to any other Russian region. The Internet should be connected separately, for 200 rubles 10 GB of traffic is provided.

"Sevmobile"

This provider works only in Sevastopol and offers a plan "My City". It assumes a monthly fee of 180 rubles, at which the subscriber is provided with 90 minutes of conversation within the region and free on-net calls and SMS. Outgoing calls to other regions will cost three rubles per minute. It is also better to connect Internet options separately, 10 GB of traffic will cost 300 rubles.

The issue of mobile communications is one of the most problematic issues in Crimea. Despite this, we can definitely say that there is a MTS in the Republic of Crimea.
