Favorable roaming rates and cheap mobile Internet in Europe. Which roaming is better: mobile communications abroad

It's important to remember what the main value of roaming is: being able to receive a call to your main number, no matter where you are. That is, Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, ICQ or whatever you use to communicate with friends is good, but in reality they will call you on your mobile phone the old fashioned way (we have already checked which messenger).

Receiving incoming calls is not very expensive now: so, MTS offers the “Zero without Borders” tariff option with a subscription fee of 95 rubles per day. For this money, you can receive incoming calls for free, but with a number of conditions: the duration of each cannot exceed 10 minutes (otherwise they will charge 25 rubles per minute), and in a month you can receive no more than 200 minutes of calls, otherwise you will again have to pay 25 rubles per minute . In general, an excellent option for those who travel for a short time and talk a lot.

Also MTS offers calls using Wi-Fi Calling technology (supported on new Samsung models). If you have Wi-Fi, you can talk at your home rate while roaming.

U " MegaFon“There is a similar option called “World Without Borders”, the subscription fee for it is 59 rubles per day. For this money you will be allowed to receive 40 minutes of incoming calls - that is, the price of a minute is about one and a half rubles. The problem, as usual, is that you will say either more and overpay, or less, and the minutes will burn out. But it’s still profitable, and for the average person, 40 minutes of input per day is enough for the eyes.

« Beeline» automatically debits you 200 rubles as soon as you receive an incoming call while roaming, and provides a package of 20 minutes. The “trick” is that these are both incoming and outgoing minutes, that is, you can make calls yourself, wishing everyone a Happy New Year. This is precisely why the option is so expensive, and it only makes sense to use it if you are going to make the calls yourself. Otherwise, answering your grandmother and talking to her for two minutes for two hundred rubles will be completely offensive.

Tele2 offers an excellent option “Conversations without borders”: a subscription fee of 5 rubles per day, and 5 rubles per minute of an incoming call. For those who answer only the most important calls while on vacation, this is the best option offered today: the operator does not want to get a “minimum guaranteed tariff” from you, but allows you to talk as much as you need. If you don't plan on chatting with just anyone, this is the best option.

Voice for advanced

Mobile operators are well aware that you all prefer to talk via IP telephony. Therefore, today there are many alternative options for using VoIP while maintaining your own number - if only you had access to the Internet and a smartphone!

« Megaphone"offers its subscribers to install the eMotion application: with it, incoming calls to your Russian number are free, and outgoing calls cost a maximum of 1.5 rubles per minute. For subscribers of package tariffs with the MTS Connect application, MTS offers to generally write off minutes from the package, and incoming ones - free of charge, but there is one caveat: the MTS SIM card must be in the smartphone, otherwise nothing will work.

Tele2 offers the Wi-Fi calling service. When using it, the subscriber installs the application and talks if he has Internet access according to his tariff plan, as if he were in Moscow.

To subscribers " Beeline“We haven’t made an application, but we can recommend a third-party AvoApp for them. The application allows you to save a Russian number using forwarding, receiving calls in roaming at the price of local ones. Outgoing calls cost no more than 5 euro cents per minute.

Internet for the lazy

The most important art for us is the mobile Internet. In roaming it is still quite expensive, however, if you use it wisely, even the options offered by our telecom operators may be enough.

« Beeline“When you go online, it automatically debits 200 rubles from your account at once and gives you a 40 MB package until the end of the day, that is, a megabyte will cost 5 rubles. This is quite enough for messengers, check-ins and the like, that is, you don’t have to turn off the Internet on your smartphone completely, the main thing is not to watch videos, listen to music or update applications, because if you exceed the limit, each megabyte also costs 5 rubles.

U " Megafon“A similar option automatically provides 70 MB at once, and it costs 350 rubles per day. In some countries, however, for the same money they will give only 50 MB, that is, the price of a megabyte will already be 7 rubles.

MTS will write off 380 rubles and provide 30 MB of traffic, but do not rush to accuse the operator of greed: in almost three dozen popular countries for 450 rubles a day you will get completely unlimited Internet, however, with a caveat: after 100 MB is exhausted, the speed will be limited to 128 Kbps/ sec, but if you don’t download anything, this will be enough. Tele2 has the same option, but can be connected independently (“The Internet does not rest”); it costs 399 rubles per day.

Internet for advanced

The most advanced subscribers can buy a local SIM card, however, this is not always profitable and convenient - lack of knowledge of the language, and the sale of inexpensive tariffs only to residents and in conjunction with some kind of modem, for example, can be a problem. But in 2016, three interesting “tourist” SIM cards appeared on the Russian market.

GoEurope simply resells Spanish SIM cards Orange, which operate only in Europe. Tariffing is very simple: for 1 euro you get 100 MB of traffic per day. We exceeded the limit - the next package was connected for 1 euro, and so on. True, convenient account replenishment is possible only through a service that charges up to 20% commission, otherwise you will have to wade through the jungle of your personal account on a Spanish-language website.

Comfortway works all over the world, in each new country the SIM card loads a local profile and works at rates close to local ones. Each country has its own tariff, but prices like 10 euros per gigabyte are quite realistic, and the package does not “burn out” at the end of each day, but lasts longer.

« Dreamsim"- a SIM card on which there are no packages at all, and funds are debited for exactly as much traffic as you actually use. Prices are per gigabyte and vary from country to country; for example, in England or Thailand a gigabyte costs 10 euros, but in Germany for some reason it costs 25. A SIM card can also be used for calls, but if you have the Internet, then VoIP applications of Russian operators are more profitable.

Bon Voyage!

"Then I compared the cost of international roaming from the Big Three - Beeline, MTS and MegaFon. By researching prices for calls abroad. Today I will compare prices for Internet in roaming, also from Beeline, MTS and MegaFon. Perhaps this post will help you choose an operator for more profitable use of the Internet abroad.

The following will be used for comparison:
1) Three mobile operators: Beeline, MTS, MegaFon.
2) Two countries popular with Russian tourists - Egypt (may open soon), Thailand. I’m not considering Turkey yet, as there are no prospects yet.
3) Prices for the Internet from all three operators, along with options.

Attention: in all options, the selected amount of traffic is available within 24 hours after the first access to the Internet while roaming.

1. Beeline. This operator offers the following separate service “The most profitable Internet in roaming”. The cost of 40MB is 200 rubles per day. Above the norm - 5 rubles per 1 MB. It automatically connects without problems when roaming. Very comfortably! There is no need to type any commands or think about turning it on and off.

2. MegaFon. The company offers tourists two options for connecting to the Internet abroad - “Internet abroad” and “Online vacation”.

"Internet Abroad". In this option, Egypt and Thailand are included in the zone“Popular countries + CIS”. The following prices are offered here: for 10 MB - 329 rubles, for 30 MB - 829 rubles. Requires plugging and unplugging.

"Vacation online." The cost of connecting the option is 30 rubles. Then the cost of 1MB of traffic is 19 rubles. This option will only work in Egypt. It will no longer be suitable for Thailand.

3. MTS. The company offers several options: "BIT Abroad", "Maxi BIT Abroad" and "Super BIT Abroad". There is no connection fee for all options. Requires disconnection and connection. All options work in Egypt and Thailand

"BIT Abroad". 30 MB - 300 rubles.
"Maxi BIT abroad." 70MB - 600 rubles
"Super BIT abroad." 200 MB - 1500 rubles.

And now we can summarize. As you can see, the most affordable Internet in roaming (Egypt and Thailand) is offered by Beeline - 200 rubles for 40 MB.

In second place in terms of availability of mobile Internet in roaming is MTS. Here, in the cheapest option “BIT abroad”, the Internet can be purchased for 300 rubles per day, receiving 30 MB.

MegaFon has the most expensive internet. In the “Internet Abroad” option the cost is 329 rubles for only 10MB. In the "Online Vacation" option, 1MB - 19 rubles. That is, 10MB is already 190 rubles. Also expensive.

P/S All these comparisons are my personal views and opinions, obtained based on information on the operators’ websites -

The most common need for international roaming is short-term. An “ordinary” call or message to loved ones about a successful landing or check-in at a hotel is unlikely to ruin you, but on vacation and during the holidays, many are faced with the high cost of calls, messages and mobile Internet. High-profile “roaming” cases immediately come to mind, like the one about the TV series “Interns” downloaded while roaming, for which the operator asked for more than 1 million rubles.

With your samovar

According to a survey by online travel agency Tripsta, more than half of Russians use the services of Russian mobile operators when traveling abroad, and only 12% of respondents prefer not to use a phone at all when abroad. What should those who need communication while traveling do? Of course, there is no point in changing the tariff for a short period. Of course, local Wi-Fi, instant messengers and pre-downloaded city maps save part of the communication costs. And yet, what solutions do our mobile operators offer in international roaming?

Operator/tariff/option	Subscription fee, rub./day	Cost of incoming calls, rub./min.	Cost of outgoing calls, rub./min.	Cost of SMS, rub.
Option "Zero without borders"	95	0 first 10 minutes, then 25	25 from 2nd to 5th minutes, the rest - according to the roaming tariff	19
Free Travel Option	250	0 first 60 minutes, then 10	0 first 60 minutes, then 10	19
Outgoing calls from 11.9 rub./min. via code *137*	0 rub.	according to roaming tariff	11,9-79	19
Service "Planet Zero"	60 (upon receiving incoming messages)	0 first 20 minutes, then 10	20	7
“My Planet” service	0	25	25	9
Tariff "Around the World"	0	13	13	11
"Whole World" option	39	0 for the first 30 minutes, then according to the roaming tariff	according to roaming tariff	according to roaming tariff
“Conversations without Borders” service	5	5	15	6

Rates, options and services apply in many, but not all, countries. Check the list of countries on the operator’s website.

It is worth noting that Tele2, which recently entered the market of the Moscow region, even without additional services, is ready to compete with the “big three” operators, offering to pay 15 rubles per minute for incoming/outgoing calls in roaming (in Europe and the CIS countries) and 6 rubles at basic tariffs for SMS and MMS in the absence of any additional services.

The same basic incoming/outgoing for European countries and some other countries will cost 49 rubles from Megafon, 69 rubles from Beeline, and from 25 to 115 rubles from MTS. respectively. The basic cost of SMS for all three operators is the same - 19 rubles. MTS and Megafon have separate packages to reduce the cost of sending short messages in roaming (195-700 rubles / month), but we dare to assume that the majority of Sravni.ru visitors successfully replace SMS and MMS functions of online messengers (WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Skype, Facebook, etc.).

The cost of a minute of conversation for an outgoing call is most favorable from MTS with the “Free Travel” option - 4.17 rubles, but taking into account calls for 60 minutes per day. After all, for 60 minutes you will have to pay 250 rubles a day, whether you reprimand them or not. And indeed “Free Travel” for a limited number of European countries, plus Australia, Armenia, Israel and the UAE.

SIM card of the world

For frequent travelers, roaming with Russian operators, even with connected options, is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, many of them buy international SIM cards that are valid in a large number of countries. Some tourists can be offered such a SIM card by travel agencies (Globalsim group of companies), and those flying through Moscow airports don’t even have to think about purchasing it in advance - Simtravel Mobile SIM cards are sold in Hellobox machines, Euroset and Svyaznoy salons » in Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo, respectively. You can also purchase an international SIM card from the Goodline company at Euroset, Svyaznoy and some travel agencies.

Tariffs for international SIM cards do not differ much from each other, unlike the offers of national operators. Thus, all the tariffs analyzed by Sravni.ru do not involve charging a subscription fee, in almost all cases you will not have to pay for incoming calls, and they charge only 10 cents for SMS. True, messages will have to be sent not in the usual way, but through the SIM menu and in Latin letters. The cheapest outgoing calls to landline numbers in two capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg - are offered by Goodline and Simtravel mobile. A minute will cost the subscriber 0.05 USD. Calls to Russian mobile numbers at the tariffs of the same companies will cost 29 cents (22.13 rubles at the Central Bank exchange rate as of February 2, 2016). For calls to mobile numbers, WellTell tariffs are more profitable - 20 cents per minute (Contact package) or 16.67-13.89 cents (Whole World packages).

Company/tariff/option	SIM card cost	Cost of incoming calls, USD	Cost of outgoing calls	SMS cost, USD
Tariff "Planet-Good"	350 rub.	0 in 146 countries	0.05-0.49 USD/min.	-
Package "Contact"	10 USD	0*	0.20 USD/min.	0.10 (in European countries)
“Whole World” packages	10 USD	0*	25 USD/14 days/150 min. 45 USD/30 days/300 min. 125 USD/90 days/900 min. 175 USD/30 days/unlimited	0.10 (in European countries)
SIM card "GlobalSim"	800 rubles (account amount 10 USD)	0	0.39 USD/min. (for European countries)	0.10 (via sim menu)
Tariffs "Europe", "Whole World" and "Whole World Plus"	350 rub.	0	0.05-0.15 USD/min. to landline numbers of the Russian Federation; 0.29 USD/min. to Russian mobile numbers	0.10 (via sim menu)

* – when attaching a Russian number, incoming calls are counted as outgoing due to the call back function.

All of the above tariffs do not involve a subscription fee and are valid in many countries around the world, but in some the conditions may differ from those indicated. Exclusions and tariff surcharges for different countries can be found on the operator’s website.

Considering the current floating exchange rate of the ruble, the cost of calls and SMS for Russians at the rates of international SIM cards has increased significantly, since they are denominated in US dollars. But even at the current exchange rate, this option is more profitable for travelers than the roaming tariffs of the Big Three. The same applies to mobile Internet - packages from international SIM card operators are usually more profitable, but full-fledged mobile Internet in roaming will definitely cost less when purchasing a local SIM card.

I will move to London

But what should you do if you plan to move to another country for a long time, and the “home” number of a Russian operator is needed to receive calls from work partners, relatives, friends, or colleagues, in whose address books it has been recorded for many years? Or you want to save your number and continue to use it upon returning from a long-term “business trip”. In this case, it is unlikely that the subscriber will use the mobile Internet, make frequent calls or send messages - for this he probably has a local SIM card. But since you leave the number in working condition, it should be possible to receive incoming calls and messages.

Only Megafon offers a special tariff for such subscribers (the “Around the World” tariff with calls from 13 rubles per minute, without mandatory monthly or daily expenses, but only with a prepaid advance payment of 300 rubles). Other operators limit themselves to special services and options more suitable for short-term travel. But the international SIM cards mentioned above have the ability to link a Russian number. That is, the Russian number remains active, calls can continue to be made to it, but calls will go through to an international SIM card. True, in this case they will be regarded as outgoing (not for a Russian, but for an international card), which means they will not be free. To put it simply: both forwarding and the auto-call function work simultaneously.

These are the main options for saving on cellular communications abroad. Considering the possibility of switching with your number to another operator, the functions of linking a Russian SIM card to an international one, everyone can choose convenient offers for their own purposes. The main thing in the pursuit of savings is not to forget about the tariffs of your operator and top up your phone balance in a timely manner. While abroad, you can do this using a bank card in your telecom operator’s personal account or through online banking.

Perhaps this review will help you answer the age-old question: “Which mobile operator is more profitable to go on holiday abroad with?”

In today's review, I will compare the cost of international roaming from the Big Three - Beeline, MTS and MegaFon. By researching prices for calls abroad, I will try to find out “who has it cheaper”. All comparisons will be presented clearly with links to the source and screenshots.

The following will be used for comparison:
1) Three mobile operators: Beeline, MTS, MegaFon.
2) Two countries popular with Russian tourists - Egypt, Thailand
3) Prices for calls from all three operators, along with options
4) All calculations will be given for the Central Federal District - Vladimir Region

So, Beeline. A minute of all calls (incoming and outgoing in Egypt and Thailand) is 99 rubles

At MTS we see the following: In Egypt, this operator offers calls for 59 rubles

In Thailand, MTS offers the same price - 59 rubles

MegaFon has a slightly different situation: Tariffing is divided into several zones. Egypt is located in the CIS and Middle East zone, where a minute of call costs 33 rubles (incoming and outgoing). Thailand is in the “Rest of the countries” tariff zone and they charge 100 rubles per minute for incoming calls, and 125 for outgoing calls to Russia.

But the given tariffs are general tariffs, and you shouldn’t focus on them too much. Each mobile operator has options with discounts on roaming abroad. Now we will compare them.

Beeline offers the following tariff options:


1) "Planet 0" -all incoming calls, 1st minute - 19 rubles/min, from 2nd to 10th minutes - 0 rubles, from 11th minute - 19 rubles. There is no subscription fee. All outgoing calls at the standard rate - 99 rubles per minute

2) “Multipass” - not available in Egypt and Thailand, so we skip it

3) I also skip the “Sea of ​​Internet”, now we are only interested in calls

4) "Seductive roaming" - subscription fee - 9.95 rubles per day. All incoming - 3.95 min., Outgoing to Russia - at the standard rate of 99 rubles per minute.

5) "Country to order" - Subscription fee - 15 rubles per day. This option gives a 50% discount for any calls. Therefore, incoming and outgoing calls will cost 99 rubles / 2 = 49.5 rubles / min.

MTS has the following discounts on roaming: option " 0 without borders". The prices are as follows -

And the option: "Go-Go roaming"

MegaFon has only one option with a discount on roaming - " Around the world". In our case, it is valid only in Egypt (CIS tariff zone and the Middle East), and does not work in Thailand.
For Egypt the prices will be as follows. Connection option - 30 rub. one-time and 9 rubles per day subscription. Next, 1 minute of incoming calls is 25 rubles, from 2 to 5 - free and from 6 minutes again 25 rubles. Outgoing 25 rubles.

This is where the tariff options I found on the websites of cellular operators ended. Now let's summarize.
For now, we are omitting tariff discount options and comparing general roaming prices. MegaFon has the cheapest calls when traveling to Egypt - only 33 rubles per minute for outgoing and incoming calls to Russia. And the cheapest calls in Thailand are from MTS - 59 rubles.

EGYPT
1 place- 33 rub/min (incoming/outgoing) - MegaFon
2nd place
3rd place

THAILAND
1 place- 59 rub/min (incoming-outgoing) - MTS
2nd place- 99 rub/min (incoming-outgoing) - Beeline
3rd place- 100 rub/min incoming, 125 rub/min outgoing - MegaFon

Now, let’s determine the most profitable operator options.

OUTGOING CALLS (Egypt and Thailand)
The cheapest option for outgoing calls (Egypt, Thailand) to Russia is Go-Go roaming from MTS - 19.90 per 1 minute of connection without a subscription. boards when using a special code *137*
I will share second place between MegaFon and Beeline. Egypt is cheaper with MegaFon's "Around the World" option - 25 rubles per minute and 9 rubles. monthly fee per day. And Beeline’s Thailand has the “Country to order” option - 49.5 min. + 15 ab/fee. Then, like MegaFon - 100 (incoming) and 125 (outgoing)

MTS offers to receive calls from Russia for 11.90 per minute (Go-Go Roaming), and free from 1 to 5 minutes, and 5 rubles from 5 minutes, but with a subscription fee of 25 rubles. per day in the "Zero without borders" option.

If you do it in 5 minutes, then MegaFon will help you, the “Around the World” option - the first minute of connection is 25 rubles, then from 2 to 5 - free. And a subscription fee is 9 rubles. (For Egypt only). Thailand - 100 and 125 rubles.

Results: In my opinion, the most acceptable, in my opinion, for traveling abroad, after all the manipulations described above, I consider MTS, both for Egypt and Thailand. The most unprofitable operator for traveling to very distant countries is MegaFon. Thus, MegaFon does not offer any discounts for Thailand. But it is beneficial for Turkey and Egypt. As for Beeline, this operator offers quite good discounts on incoming calls in both countries. But outgoing ones are at an average level.

P/S All these comparisons are my personal views and opinions, obtained based on information on the operators’ websites -

Doesn't have to be expensive. After all, you can choose your optimal tariff plan, which will suit both quality and cost. But for this it is important to decide in advance what exactly you need? Voice communication or high-quality mobile Internet, whether you are going on vacation or on a business trip. It is also important to decide how much traffic you need, and what quality should it be?

Orange, Vodafone, and Globalsim offer good rates for tourists traveling to Europe. For longer trips in Europe or for those heading to Germany, it is better to buy the Ortel Mobile starter pack. We invite you to consider the operators’ offers in more detail, because each has its own advantages.

The Orange SIM card is suitable for mobile Internet users. Go Europe has favorable rates; by activating this package, you can easily use navigation, communicate on social networks, and work with your mailbox (send and receive letters). This SIM card is suitable for short tourist or business trips. The price for mobile Internet is loyal (1 euro per 100 MB). But don’t worry if this amount of traffic is not enough for you, because 100 MB packages can be ordered without restrictions. Therefore, the tourist actually receives unlimited mobile Internet.

Another important advantage of Go Europe is that you can distribute Wi-Fi to any device, as a result, one SIM card is enough to provide yourself with the Internet on any gadget.

Voice services are not very profitable for tourists. The mobile operator provides 60 minutes for 1 euro, but calls are made only in the host country. Although, you can accept incoming messages unlimitedly from any country, including Russia.

If you are leaving for Spain, then the Orange mobile operator is an ideal option, because this is the provider’s home region, so subscribers receive 1 or 2 GB of traffic for 30 days as a bonus. This gift may be enough for the entire trip. After all, the free gigabytes provided are quite enough for social networks, Skype, Viber. Therefore, there will be no point in paying for voice services.

Today Vodafone SIM cards are in demand among tourists. The operator offers optimal prices for both mobile Internet and voice communications. For just three euros per day, the subscriber receives a large package of traffic (200 megabytes), as well as minutes for calls (30 outgoing and 30 incoming). Moreover, you can make calls not only to local numbers, but also to other (68 countries), including Russia.

The Smart Passport package does not have an option for Wi-Fi distribution, so the SIM card is only suitable for individual use. The subscriber is provided with 200 MB per day, increasing the volume for each subsequent 100 MB for 2 euros, limit 1 GB/day.

For those tourists who are going to Italy, we recommend this particular operator, because here it offers even more favorable conditions, as well as the Vodafone Exclusive option, which provides Wi-Fi distribution.

It is also possible to connect to an internet-only package – Internet Passport. The optimal tariff plan for those who do not need voice communication. For 6 euros, a subscriber receives 1 GB of Internet and the ability to distribute Wi-Fi. If you are only interested in mobile Internet, this is a great option.

Mobile operator Globalsim offers a unique tariff for tourists who can now call Russia - 3.2 rubles. After activating the “Preferential calls to Russia from Europe and Turkey” service, the subscriber can call at very low rates:

0.05 cents per minute on a landline telephone;
0.29 cents to mobile and other Russian numbers.
Incoming calls to 140 countries are free.
Within the network, a minute of conversation is 25 cents (the tariff is valid for 140 countries). But in this case, you need to buy a SIM card in advance and activate roaming in the Russian Federation.

The cost of outgoing calls is relevant in Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Germany Denmark, Iceland Ireland, Spain, Cyprus, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Portugal, Romania , Turkey, Slovenia, Finland, France, Czech Republic, Sweden, Estonia.

To activate the package, the subscriber needs to dial the combination: *146*931*2# .

Standard tariffs apply in 200 countries. In addition, Globalsim recently launched a new service - a free call to Viber (only the connection is paid). But for this you need to make a call of a certain format, for example, +007ХХХХХХХХ or 0000ХХХХХХХХ. In other words, we add two zeros to the number.

The connection will cost 1 outgoing minute in the country where the subscriber is located. To use the service, your interlocutor must have Internet access and Viber installed.

Calls from Skype and Viber to Globalsim SIM cards are not paid. But the one who receives the call pays 0.2 dollars per minute (the tariff is valid in 140 countries). Connection is free, there is no mandatory subscription fee, the service is not limited.

In a number of the most popular countries, you can connect to the new Smart Data Internet package; for only $19 you can connect 1 GB for a month. It is possible to reconnect the package.

Ortel Mobile operator and proposed Cross tariff

– a good option for those who often go on long business trips, which require not only mobile Internet, but also inexpensive voice communications.

By connecting the Cross smart option, you will receive 750 MB of Internet for your mobile phone, as well as unlimited incoming and 300 incoming minutes in all European countries. The package for 20 euros is valid for a month. If you need to keep in touch with colleagues from other European countries or Russia while traveling, then this tariff is for you. In addition to the fact that you will receive a decent amount of traffic (750 MB) + you can prolong the service using the turbo button (+500 MB). The service will cost 9 euros. There is no Wi-Fi distribution.

For tourists who are going to Germany, Ortel Mobile is the best option. Since this is a German SIM card, local tariffs are updated throughout the country. In addition, in Germany you can distribute Wi-Fi, as well as increase your mobile Internet package to 5 GB (+ it is possible to extend). Thanks to Wi-Fi distribution, you will provide communication not only to yourself, but, if necessary, to your colleagues.

More information about Vodafone RED Ukraine tariffs

The mobile operator offers a good tariff for those who care about the Internet - 500 MB for 1.5 euros. But there are also disadvantages:

Works only on the Vodafone network.
Available in 16 European countries.

In addition, from April 29 this year, only Ukrainians can use SIM cards. For those who do not live in the country permanently, there is a good tariff - 100 MB for 30 hryvnia.
But so far there are a lot of negative reviews on the Internet regarding this tariff.

Choosing the most favorable roaming tariff

If you are only interested in mobile Internet within the EU, then choose an Orange SIM card (local lower rates apply in Spain, the Canary Islands and Morocco). For calls in the country where the subscriber is located, 60 minutes are provided for 1 euro.

In cases where you need not only mobile traffic, but also minutes for calls, buy a Vodafone starter package, which offers the optimal number of megabytes and minutes for outgoing or incoming calls. If you need sharing (traffic distribution), we recommend connecting to the Internet Passport or Vodafone Exclusive package. Activation of the service costs 1.90 euros. To save money, disable the option when not needed. By the way, Internet Passport is an excellent package for tourists who only need traffic, calls are not so important for them.

For those who want to always be in touch and use inexpensive traffic in many countries of the world, we recommend paying attention to the offer of the Globalsim operator with free incoming calls, a favorable tariff of 0.25 cents for calls in 140 countries and optimal packages for the Internet, as well as free Viber and Skype.

If 750 MB of mobile Internet is enough for you for a month, connect to a tariff from Ortel, with which you can make cheap calls to different countries of the world, within Germany. You can also buy 500 megabytes of additional traffic for only 9 euros.
