Russian citizens began to travel abroad more often—in the first half of this year, the number of such trips increased by 24%. The most popular destinations were Türkiye and European countries. The Internet project “Be Mobile” decided to find out how much mobile communication costs in international roaming in popular resorts and holiday countries, and how you can save.
The number of citizens of the Russian Federation who go abroad began to grow in the first half of 2017. This is largely due to the stabilization of the ruble exchange rate relative to other currencies, as well as the opening of a number of resort destinations, including Turkey. People are increasingly willing to travel outside of Russia. It’s clear that no one wants to be left without communication when traveling. Just in time for the 2017 holiday season, the Internet project “Be Mobile” analyzed the international roaming tariffs of the largest Russian operators.
Beeline
id="sub0">By default, all subscribers of the Beeline operator traveling outside of Russia are served at the rates of the “Most Profitable Roaming” service. Among the features of this offer, it is worth noting the absence of the usual per-minute billing. The subscriber pays immediately for the package of services upon use.
If you travel to the CIS countries, including Georgia, Abkhazia and Ukraine, then on the first incoming or outgoing call you will be charged 100 rubles. For this amount, until the end of the current day, you will be provided with a package of 10 incoming and outgoing minutes. Above this package until the end of the day - 10 rubles per minute. With the arrival of a new day, the tariff scheme repeats. Thus, if you talk no more than 10 minutes a day, within a week you will spend 700 rubles.
If you travel to Europe, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Israel, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, the UAE and a number of other countries (see table), then for the first incoming or outgoing call you will be charged 200 rubles. For this money you will be given 20 incoming and outgoing minutes until the end of the day. When a new day comes, you will again be charged 200 rubles when using voice services, etc. In addition to a block of 20 minutes per day, the tariff is 10 rubles per minute until the end of the current day. Thus, if you talk no more than 20 minutes a day, within a week you will spend 1,400 rubles.
Mobile Internet is charged at 200 rubles per 40 MB per day upon the first access to the Network, then until the end of the day at 5 rubles per 1 MB.
Sending SMS regardless of the country of residence - 20 rubles.

Megaphone
id="sub1">MegaFon has the usual tariffs for communication services in international roaming. For example, in Europe and Turkey, all incoming calls cost 79 rubles per minute. Outgoing calls to Russia and numbers in the host country cost 79 rubles per minute. Outgoing SMS - 25 rubles per message. Mobile Internet - 350 rubles per day upon first access to the Internet (70 MB of traffic is provided for this fee). The prices given clearly do not meet the goals of savings. In this regard, the company allows you to connect several options that reduce communication costs in international roaming.
Thus, the “Whole World” option allows you to receive 40 free incoming minutes per day for a subscription fee of 59 rubles per day. Tariffing for other destinations and services occurs at base prices.

Mobile Internet - 450 rubles per day upon first access to the Internet (for this fee, unlimited Internet 100 MB of traffic per day is provided without traffic limitation, then the speed is limited to 128 Kbps).

Among the tariff options it is worth noting “Zero without borders”. For 95 rubles per day, the subscriber receives 10 free incoming minutes with each call. However, you can use no more than 200 free minutes per month. If this volume is exceeded, all incoming calls are charged at 25 rubles per minute.

In conclusion, we note that tourist and special international SIM cards can become an alternative to international roaming. An overview of tariffs and offers on them can be
In our reviews, we already talked about travel SIM cards - an interesting thing, but not always convenient. Many people never think about buying them. It is easier for them to choose the most suitable tariff from their operator. It will be more expensive, but more convenient. In this review, we will tell you which tariff plan is most profitable to go on a trip with international roaming. We will try to find one of the best offers from each operator (and maybe two).
Connecting international roaming
Before you go on a trip, you need to choose a suitable tariff plan and activate international roaming. On Iota it is available automatically - no additional services need to be activated. The same applies to the Tele2 operator. On MegaFon it is available automatically. But if you are planning a trip to a country where online tariffs do not apply, you need to activate the “Extended International Roaming” service.
Everything is transparent on Beeline - international roaming is available automatically for prepaid subscribers, provided that online roaming is available in the destination country. Otherwise, you must have at least 600 rubles on your balance. As for subscribers of the postpaid payment system, in both cases they will need to activate the “International Communications” service.
A little difficulty awaits us at MTS. The traveler’s number must have two services activated at once - “International and national roaming” and “International access”. They connect through a personal account, contact center or service offices. You can also dial the USSD command *111*2192#. For countries with online roaming, you need to activate the “Easy Roaming and International Access” service - dial *111*2157#, visit the office or look into your personal account.
Online roaming (Camel-roaming) – international roaming with real-time pricing of services. If there is no agreement between the home and guest operator, charging is carried out with a delay of several days (as bills arrive).
If you would like to disable international roaming, please contact your operator. Although it is not necessary to disable it. Disconnections only require additional options that reduce the cost of communication services while traveling - on a home network they can lead to unnecessary subscription fees.
Roaming abroad from MTS
We will find the cheapest international roaming with the MTS operator on the “Smart Zabugorishche” tariff plan. It provides for a weekly allocation of service packages - 7 GB of Internet traffic and 350 minutes to home region numbers per week. And these services are available even when abroad. Or rather, in popular countries. Their list includes India, Armenia, UAE, Czech Republic, Thailand, Germany, Taiwan, Greece, Israel, Hungary, Canada, Italy, USA, Malta, Egypt, Netherlands, Australia, Portugal, Ukraine, Romania, Switzerland, Spain, France, Turkey, Abkhazia and Great Britain. The monthly fee is 250 rubles/week.
Roaming abroad from Beeline
Profitable international roaming on Beeline is represented by two tariff plans:
- “All for 1800 + roaming” - the offer includes 15 GB of Internet, 3000 minutes of calls throughout the country and 3000 SMS. True, in international roaming only the Internet package is valid, but this is also a plus. The subscription fee is 1800 rubles/month.
- “Absolutely EVERYTHING” is a premium and therefore the most expensive tariff plan. It includes packages of services for foreign trips and separate packages for spending in the Russian Federation. Abroad, subscribers receive 100 MB of traffic, 100 minutes of outgoing calls and 100 SMS per month, as well as 30 incoming minutes every day. In Russia, 60 GB of traffic, 6,000 outgoing minutes, 600 minutes to foreign numbers, unlimited within the network and 6,000 SMS within Russia are provided. The subscription fee is 6,000 rubles/month.
If both offers seem too expensive, use any other Beeline tariff. Here you will find the “Most Profitable Roaming” service, which includes call packages from 100 rubles/10 minutes, traffic packages from 200 rubles/40 MB and inexpensive incoming calls – from 10 rubles/min. The cost of traffic after the package is exhausted is from 5 rubles/MB. The service is provided without a subscription fee.
Roaming abroad from MegaFon
We will not expect tariffs for international roaming from this operator. It simply does not have specialized offerings. Therefore, you can choose any tariff plan and connect one of the options to it:
- “The Whole World” – free incoming calls abroad, 40 minutes for 99 rubles/day.
- “Around the World” – incoming and outgoing calls from 13 rubles/min with a monthly fee from 9 rubles/day.
- “Minutes packages” – a family of package options, from 329 rubles for 25 minutes of incoming and outgoing minutes.
- “Like home in Abkhazia” - the option maintains home tariffs in this developing direction. The subscription fee is 30 rubles/day, the one-time connection cost is 30 rubles.
- “Vacation-Online” – the cost of traffic on popular destinations will be 15 rubles/MB. Connection fee – 30 rubles, no monthly fee;
- “World Online” – unlimited traffic in 69 countries for 600 rubles/day.
- “SMS packages” – inexpensive packages of text messages starting from 195 rubles for 50 pieces.
Thanks to the options, you can make your current tariff more profitable.
Roaming abroad from Tele2
Yes, MegaFon does not have special tariffs for international roaming. But he has a lot of options. But Tele2 has neither one nor the other. But there are still advantages - this operator initially has low prices for calls abroad. Additionally, we note the service “Unlimited Internet abroad” for 350 rubles/day. It only applies to popular destinations.
Roaming abroad from Iota
And here again we are faced with the lack of special tariffs for international roaming. The operator boasts of initially low prices for calls and Internet when staying in other countries. But in general, prices are even more expensive than on Tele2. But subscribers receive the following benefits:
- Traffic control every 40 MB – the network controls consumption, preventing overspending and wild waste of money;
- Half an hour of non-tariffed incoming calls for 39 rubles/day;
- Free messengers - you heard right, the most popular messengers work in international roaming from Iota completely free of charge. You just need to restrict Internet access for other applications and services on your smartphone.
Thus, roaming from Iota can also boast of certain benefits.
What to choose in the end
Make your choice according to the operator you are using and the destination country. In the most popular destinations you will always find inexpensive calls and inexpensive Internet. The easiest way in this regard is with MegaFon - with the help of many additional options you can make almost any tariff plan profitable. And remember that you can change your telecom operator at any time without parting with your number.
"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 -
Having overcome all the hardships of the economic crisis and endured all the ups and downs of the national currency, residents of the Russian Federation gradually began to return to the practice of vacationing abroad. Mobile operators, on the other hand, also did not remain aloof from all these events and radically changed the tariffs for the use of mobile communication services abroad. We present to your attention an overview of roaming options abroad.
Calls outside the Russian Federation for the lazy
The main purpose of roaming abroad is the immediate ability to receive a call to your mobile phone number, regardless of location. It’s clear that social messengers are convenient, but on vacation you can limit yourself to the rule “if necessary, they will find it themselves,” and limit online communication to a minimum.
In fact, receiving calls on your phone is not that expensive. Let's start with the MTS tariff for roaming “Zero Without Borders”, where for just 95 rubles per day subscription fee you can talk to home completely free of charge. Of course, there are also limitations. Firstly, the duration of the conversation should not exceed 10 minutes (if this norm is exceeded, the tariff will be calculated at a cost of 25 rubles - 1 minute). Secondly, you can only talk for 200 minutes per month within the service, otherwise you will again be charged the above tariff for excess.
Megafon offers roaming abroad in the form of the “World Without Borders” tariff, where you will be charged 59 rubles per day. If you use this tariff service, you will be provided with 40 minutes of incoming calls per day without the right to accumulate.
Beeline offers roaming abroad in the form of debiting the amount of 200 rubles from your account if you receive an incoming call from the Russian Federation while on vacation in distant countries. Once removed, you are given 20 minutes, but the minutes can be used for both incoming and outgoing calls. In other words, you will have the opportunity to call home yourself and, for example, wish your friends a Happy New Year.
Tele2 offers roaming abroad in the form of the “Conversations without Borders” service. For just 5 rubles you can receive every minute of a call, no matter where you are. However, you will also be charged a subscription fee of 5 rubles per day. Among all the above options, this option looks the most profitable, since the operator offers you to talk as much as you see fit.
Favorable roaming tariff for advanced users
Not only users of mobile communication services, but also mobile operators themselves understand that communication through the use of VoIP technology is much more profitable than usual. The main thing is to have access to the Internet and a smartphone with support for all the necessary options.
In this context, we can offer two tariff options from the Megafon and Tele2 operators:
- Megafon offers its customers to install the eMotion application, which will allow them to receive calls anywhere in the world completely free of charge. Whereas, the cost of outgoing calls, depending on the tariff, will reach a maximum of 1.5 rubles per 1 minute.
- The Tele2 operator offers its customers the Wi-Fi calling service. To do this, you will also need to download a special application that will allow you to talk on the phone within your tariff plan, no matter where the communication consumer is located.
Internet for the lazy
It's no secret that in addition to the provision of ordinary communication services, the availability of the Internet will also be important for many abroad.
Among the most affordable service options from various operators are the following options:
- Beeline – 200 rubles for 40 megabytes;
- Megafon - 350 rubles for 70 megabytes (50 megabytes in some countries);
- MTS - 380 rubles for 30 megabytes (in some countries 450 rubles - unlimited Internet with a speed limit of up to 128 Kbps after using 100 megabytes).
Internet for advanced
If you need more than a hundred megabytes on vacation and you need the fastest possible speed, then you shouldn’t rely on domestic operators in this case. There is always the option of purchasing a SIM card based on your location, but local tariffs will not always be more favorable than those known in our homeland. The cost of roaming abroad in this case will not be a subscription fee, but a contract fee, that is, you will receive exactly what you bought, without exceeding any limits. In this case, you can offer SIM cards designed specifically for tourists:
- GoEurope – for 1 euro you get 100 megabytes of traffic.
- Comfortway – approximately 10 euros per 1 gigabyte of traffic, depending on your location.
- Dreamsim – 10-25 euros per 1 gigabyte of traffic, depending on the country of location.
It is worth noting that the operator itself automatically determines your location, therefore, there is no need to worry about how to activate roaming abroad. As a rule, all tariff plans described above begin to work immediately after crossing the border. Otherwise, you will be provided with ample SMS information regarding all tariff options and the correct transition to them.

A very convenient service is Beeline roaming abroad, which is aimed at people who often travel outside the country. After connecting, subscribers can take advantage of loyal connection rates specifically for their number (no need to constantly change the SIM card). With a one-time registration of a new service, it begins to work as soon as the subscriber leaves the territory of the Russian Federation. International roaming calls are available in more than two hundred countries so that the subscriber can control his costs with the ability to call loved ones at any time.
Tariffs for international roaming Beeline
For international roaming, the mobile operator sets the most favorable rates so as not to buy a separate card from another current network each time.
Fares are calculated using a prepaid payment system depending on the destination.
In some countries minute a conversation can be valued at 10 rubles, and in others - 100 rubles. The cheapest tariff for foreign countries is set for the CIS countries, but in China or the USA roaming will be one of the most expensive.
"Planet Zero"
How to activate this service on Beeline? For this the subscriber needs to dial *110*331#, and to disconnect: *110*330#. Upon activation, 25 rubles are charged, given that all further services are free.
The quality of cellular communication will not be worse, as in the home region, so money will not be wasted. All home tariff plans are frozen and become unavailable outside the country of connection.
Characterized by "Planet Zero" such features:
- SMS messages for 7 rubles;
- Monthly fee: 60 rubles/day;
- Outgoing calls: 20 rubles per minute;
- Incoming calls are free up to 20 minutes per day, and beyond the limit for 10 rubles/minute.
If the subscriber has made absolutely no calls or written messages during the day, then the standard fee will not be debited from the account from abroad.
Thanks to the “Planet Zero” tariff, you can save money by spending a minimum of effort on connection. Payment for the service is unprofitable when visiting Israel, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Africa, Korea, Singapore and some other countries, a full list of which can be found on the official website. So you can freely visit Georgia or travel around Europe.
"My planet"
The international additional service “My Planet” will help to significantly reduce the costs of a list of incoming/outgoing calls and the exchange of SMS text messages. The option differs in the absence of a mandatory subscription fee, instead of which you only need to pay for a connection in the amount of 25 rubles.
The cost of call minutes depends on where you are. It is convenient to manage the tariff options in your personal account using your phone number.
Planet connection is simple, so you don’t need to literally spend half a day to take advantage of the tariff’s capabilities. Connection is carried out using the combination *110*0071#, and to turn off you need to dial *110*0070#. It is worth knowing that the services “Planet Zero” and “My Planet” are not compatible (when you connect one, the second is automatically disabled).
"Roaming lightly"
Another type of Beeline roaming is “Light Roaming”, which is preferred by subscribers traveling from one region of the Russian Federation to another.
The cost of constant calls not from your “native” connection can empty your pocket, and purchasing local numbers is not always the best option. Now the transition to this type of roaming is impossible, but those who have already managed to switch can enjoy all the benefits.
The package is profitable with a single tariff for calls - the cost for communication services is as close as possible to the prices of the home region. You must disable the option immediately upon arrival to avoid incurring a roaming fee. Mobile communication Beeline "Roaming easily" connects for only 150 rubles/month(it is not always possible to find a new package at this price).
Outgoing calls are charged as follows:
- 1.95 rubles for calls within the Russian Federation on the Beeline network;
- 4.95 rubles for dialing other operator numbers.
With the service activated, you can make calls throughout Russia, taking advantage of the main advantage - free incoming calls from both landlines and mobiles. The subscription fee is carried out on a daily basis and depends on the number of days in a particular month.
If the call lasts less than 3 seconds, no payment is charged. You need to find out how much SMS costs individually from the operator.
"International Communications"
In fact, roaming is international communication that operates in the territory where cellular coverage is available. If the question of international roaming arises, then the “International Communications” service cannot remain aside.
When connected, you can freely call abroad or travel abroad with a positive balance. Profitable communication in roaming can be ensured when you are in the CIS or other countries of the world.
Accurate The cost of international calls can be found by dialing 0611 so as not to encounter troubles and unnecessary expenses for communication during the trip.
The combination *110*131# will help you activate the International Communications service, and to disable it you can dial *110*130#.
Visitor survey
Internet in Beeline roaming abroad
Internet roaming prices are quite high, but this also means that you don’t need to use Internet access abroad. So in Belarus and other CIS countries the first 40 MB will cost 200 rubles per day, and if the limit is exceeded, each subsequent megabyte is valued at 5 rubles. All subscribers in roaming are connected to the “Most Profitable Internet” service, which does not require any additional settings.
The Internet provides many conveniences, without which it is even difficult to imagine traveling, as it can help you find the necessary information, navigate the area and get other help.
To avoid unnecessary Internet waste, it is better to disable automatic mms reception. Payment for megabytes will be charged in roaming upon use.
It is expensive not only to call Abkhazia, but also to use the Internet - for this direction, to get 1 MB you need to pay 90 rubles. All countries in which Internet roaming is available and prices for it are available on the official website, where the types of tariffs are also indicated.
How profitable is it to call abroad?
And which Beeline tariff is more profitable to choose? It depends on where you will be at the time of travel. So in Germany or Abkhazia, or maybe you’re just planning to travel from Krasnodar to Tula.
It will be useful to view:
Beeline roaming services are provided in Tunisia, Kazakhstan, and Thailand. Tariffs are read instantly, and after connection, by default all subscribers are charged a standard fee.
For any positive balance, the established threshold is deducted for the number of minutes of conversation or per SMS, for the megabytes used.
Beeline roaming in Turkey and Egypt
Considering that many Russian tourists constantly visit Turkey and Egypt, it is better to study all Beeline roaming tariffs, which will help you save money and freely call your family to share your impressions. Prices in these resort countries are identical and help optimize communication costs.
You can freely use the mobile Internet by visiting social networks and searching for what you need.
In Egypt, the following tariffication is relevant:
- Incoming call for 69 rubles per minute;
- Calls to other countries for 129 rubles/minute;
