What mobile operators do you know. What is the most profitable mobile Internet? Choosing an operator

It is difficult to imagine a person today who can do without a cellular connection. Every day people call each other, send millions of messages, go online using mobile phones. Cellular operators are responsible for the quality of communication, cost and service package.

List of telecom operators in Russia

There is no single operator responsible for mobile communications. In Russia, there are more than a hundred operating mobile operators... Some regional providers are subsidiaries of large cellular operators Russia.

According to statistics, among the leaders among companies providing services mobile communications, include 3 - "big three" providers - MTS, Megafon, Beeline. These companies have the largest number of subscribers, the largest coverage area, and a wide range of services.

1. MTS... The only "cellular", which is included in the top 20 of the world leaders. At the end of 2017, it has the largest number of subscribers in Russia (more than 78 million people), and taking into account the CIS countries, the number of subscribers is more than 100 million. It has the most extensive network of communication salons in the country (more than 5700 points).
2. Megaphone... There are more than 76 million subscribers in Russia, there is a great demand for Megafon SIM cards in Abkhazia, Tajikistan, South Ossetia. The company positions itself as an operator with the fastest mobile Internet.
3. Beeline... The VimpelCom OJSC brand is included in the first hundred recognizable brands in the world. The number of subscribers in Russia reaches 59 million people, but Beeline is the leader in the number of roaming countries and partners. This allows you to stay connected while traveling and save on roaming services.

The top popular operators include companies that are not included in the 3 "big three", but are in significant competition in terms of popularity. The rating of mobile operators includes smaller companies, both new and regional. The very concept of the "big three" is becoming obsolete, because other providers are also conquering the market:

• Tinkoff Mobile is one of the newcomers to the communications market, which offers its users many pleasant bonuses: selection of an individual tariff without unnecessary services and pitfalls, beautiful numbers, affordable roaming. Also, importantly, the operator provides high-quality communication. And the first time you deposit your account, you will receive.
• Tele2. At the end of 2017, this is the only company that has increased the number of subscribers. It has been operating as a federal Russian operator since 2014 after receiving a license for communication in the 3G format. The operator's audience is at least 40 million people in 65 regions of the country. Most active subscribers are in Moscow and the Moscow region, in St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions. It takes 3rd place in Russia in terms of the number of base stations, is distinguished by fast mobile Internet due to low network load, as well as affordable package tariffs with the internet.
• Yota is a virtual mobile operator. The brand has existed since 2008. Works on the technical infrastructure "Megafon". The subscriber base is about 1.5 million people. Until January 2017, the only operator with unlimited access to mobile Internet, today the tariff line includes only products with a limited amount of traffic for smartphones, and for tablets and computers there are offers with unlimited Internet, the price of which depends on the speed.
• Rostelecom is an Internet provider and a company providing home wired communications and cable television services. The company offers its subscribers cellular communication in the GSM 900/1800 format and Mobile Internet.
• Motiv serves only 4 regions in the Ural Federal District. This trademark has existed since 2002. The company provides communication in the formats GPRS / EDGE, IVR, MMS, SMS, USSD, it is not represented in Moscow.
• SMARTS is a Samara company. Communication in Russia is provided to subscribers from the Volga region and the central regions of the country. The list of services includes GPRS, CSD data transmission, communication in GSM-900, GSM-1800 standards, SMS, MMS transmission.

Before making a choice of a mobile operator, each client should outline his own range of preferences and identify the requirements for mobile communications. Each provider is good in its own way, the best mobile operator can be of regional status, if the package of services that it provides meets the needs of the client.

A list for communication within Russia, a phone code and a comparison of operators will help to make the choice of a suitable provider.

Cellular operators map

Telecommunications companies are sensitive to increasing customer requirements. Now it is not only the major players in the telecommunications market that offer high-quality communication coverage. The appearance of new towers makes it possible to provide communication even to the most remote settlements; now you can use a mobile phone in the metro and in high-rise buildings. Operators provide not only high-quality and uninterrupted telephone coverage, but also fast access to the Internet via 3G and 4G networks.

Each company is fighting to retain existing subscribers and expand the consumer base, therefore, in almost every city there are salons where customers can not only purchase a starter package, but also receive qualified assistance or answers to their questions.

Each Russian company has a database of 11-digit numbers, which can be used to identify the operator and the regions where the number is connected. The possibility of switching from one operator to another, which appeared after the abolition of "mobile slavery", was not used by all subscribers, therefore the table of codes helps to determine where the unknown incoming "came" from.

If the number is registered in Moscow and the Moscow region, then the unknown number of the incoming call is easy to determine:

Beeline does not have a clear link to the region, like other large operators. The company has separate codes only for the Far East and Primorsky Krai. And Yota's numbers are not tied to the region, they all start with the code 999.

In the North-West region and St. Petersburg

Southern Federal District, including the North Caucasus

The tables show both codes calculated for all regions, and those that apply only in the specified city, area. But large operators have codes for individual areas, that is, cellular services will be cheaper only if they are used in the home region.

The place of registration of numbers with codes 950, 951, 952 at Tele2 can be Irkutsk region, Khanty-Mansiysk region, Lipetsk region, Kursk region, Perm region, Chelyabinsk region, Kemerovo region, Republic of Buryatia, Republic of Mordovia, Tyumen region and Udmurtia.
Large operators have allocated separate codes for the Urals: 922 - Megafon, 982 - MTS.

What numbers are used by Russian operators

The phone number of any Russian operator starts with 8; to dial in the international format, you need to dial +7. However, within Russia, a call will be equally successful when dialing from an eight and from +7.

After international code followed by prefix digits - this is the DEF code used in mobile networks. The prefixes of Russian operators start with 9, that is, the general form of the code is always like this: 9xx. For companies providing mobile services, one or more of these codes are allocated. This makes it possible to determine the operator and the region of the caller: 926, 916, 977 - Moscow numbers, and 911, 921 or 981 - St. Petersburg.

For the "mobile troika", a series of codes has been allocated in which the second digits also coincide. For example, 91x or 98x are MTS numbers, and 92x or 93x are Megafon numbers.

The next 7 digits are the subscriber's number, by which it is impossible to determine the belonging to the region of residence or provider. The range of Beeline numbers can suggest regional affiliation if the same prefix is ​​used. Code 905 is used in St. Petersburg (range from 250-00-00 to 289-99-99), as well as in the Ulyanovsk region. (range from 183-00-00 to 184-99-99).

But sometimes only the initial digits of the subscriber's number help to identify the operator. For example, DEF-code 958 is used by more than 20 operators, among which there are small companies (with coverage of 1 region and capacity of 10,000 numbers) and large (several tens of regions and hundreds of thousands of numbers).

As an example: the prefix of TransTelecom's numbers is 7958, but since the company serves 30 regions of the country, you need to know the initial digits of the subscriber's number in order to determine the identity of the outgoing call (-00x-xx-xx - Bashkiria, a -03x-xx-xx - Kaliningrad region, etc.).

The same prefix is ​​used by Gazprom Telecom, Business Network Irkutsk, State Unitary Enterprise Automatic Telephone Station of Smolny, Interregional TransitTelecom, Systematics, T2 Mobile, Central Telegraph, etc.

DEF codes are also renumbered as needed. Moscow MTS numbers were transferred from 495 to 985, and Megafon numbers - from 495 to 925.

The telephone code used only by Megafon is 920. The numbering capacity is more than 10 million, and numbers with this code are used in 17 regions Russian Federation.

The encoding used by Tele2 is 900. But the same code is used by 16 more Russian operators of different calibers in terms of capacity and coverage of regions - Antares, Arkhangelsk Mobile Networks"," Yekaterinburg-2000 "," Kemerovo Mobile Communications "," Sky-1800 ", etc.

Tele2 is the largest of the companies using the 900 prefix: T2 Mobile is 17 regions and 3,140,000 numbers (the region is determined by the digits of the subscriber's number), Tele2-Omsk - 3 regions (Jewish Autonomous Region, Omsk Oblast and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) and 210,000 numbers, Tele2-Saint Petersburg - 1 million numbers for 4 regions (Vologda Region, Karelia, Pskov Region, Leningrad Region and St. Petersburg).

Best rates

The ratings of companies providing cellular services are compiled not only taking into account the number of subscribers and the size of the coverage area, but also the list of services provided by the company and the tariffs set for each item or the entire package.

Advertising campaigns of four leading providers (MTS, Megafon, Tele2, Beeline) are aimed at attracting subscribers, because TV spots vying with each other prove that the tariffs of this or that company are the most profitable. Telecom operators' tariffs dynamically reflect the company's strategy, consumer preferences and industry trends. At the same time, archive tariffs also operate in parallel until the subscriber switches to a new price offer.

Budget rates

It's not hard to get lost in such a variety, but there is no universal tariff plan. It is more convenient and cheaper for subscribers to purchase a range of services - tariff packages that combine, for example, voice communication, SMS and mobile Internet. In addition to the services included in the package, you need to study the limits on them (GB, free minutes, the number of SMS) and determine the needs of the subscriber (mobile Internet, calls to home network, roaming, etc.).

The three main mobile companies in the Russian Federation are MTS, Megafon and Beeline. The rest of the mobile operators in Russia are not so popular, and even such giants as TELE2, Rostelecom and Iota are not up to the leaders. The coverage of large mobile communication companies covers the entire territory of the Russian Federation. To identify subscribers, use phone numbers, and to determine the provider - the prefixes of cellular operators. One company, especially if it is large, can own several indices. For example, the list for MTS covers a wide range of numbers.

What is a cell phone number

A ten-digit identifier consisting of a provider code and a unique set of numbers is a number mobile phone... In the international format, there is also a country index (for Russia +7). Def codes (operator identifiers) consist of three digits; numbering starts with nine. These are non-geographic telephone indexes, thanks to which it is possible to determine the subscriber's communications service provider, but firms no longer have a monopoly on them. You can go, for example, from MTS to Megafon while maintaining the previous set of numbers.

The transition service is still available to a small number of people, and it is still possible to find out where the unknown person is calling from. For the same reason, the number codes of mobile operators in Russia remain in demand data. Def are not classified as classified information and are kept in open databases. They encode not only information about the provider, but also about the region in which the number is registered (within the range of regions, and not a specific city or region).

Cellular operator codes

The Federal Communications Agency (Rossvyaz) distributes the codes of cellular operators in Russia. A table with a list of identifiers def is posted on the official website of the institution and is regularly updated. It is available for download to any Internet user. For the convenience of searching, you can drive the code into a special form on the site and quickly find information about the relevant network provider and region.

A summary table of all occupied digits (distribution of cell phone numbers operators of Russia by regions below):

• 90: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9;

What region does the mobile phone number belong to?

There are several ways to determine which region the desired set of numbers belongs to. They all boil down to one goal: to gain access to a database of def codes. To do this, use one of the following instructions:

• Go to the official website of the Federal Communications Agency. Open Activity from the top menu, select Numbering Resource. Scroll down the page to click on the "Extract from the register of the Russian system and numbering plan". A convenient form for entering known information will appear.
• Use online search resources. GSM-info, EduScan, IsPreview are considered good.
• Install a special application with a built-in database on your smartphone (for example, Phone Wizard). Such software quickly searches for phone numbers of mobile operators in Russia by region.

Video

Imagine a modern man without mobile device is no longer possible, and most of them have a built-in internet connection option. Many people really need a cellular communication function to access the Internet - this is laying routes, communicating and sending multimedia messages in instant messengers, watching online videos and much more. Without these functions for the mobile Internet, our life would be very boring.

Many companies specializing in the provision of mobile services offer their subscribers not only voice call services, but also special lines of tariff plans. They are ideally optimized for the smartphone so that the customer can optimize their costs as much as possible and get a reliable high-speed connection. But there is also a large selection of special lines of the Internet for the tablet, that is, almost only with dedicated Internet traffic.

But which operator should you choose so that, as they say, everyone was able to get what was conceived - the minimum cost and good quality of communication?

When choosing one or another line of tariff plans offered by a provider, you should pay attention to several important parameters at once, so as not to wait for hours to download videos or other content:

• To understand and understand the question of which operator is better for the Internet, you should understand that if a signal speed of up to 1 Mb is provided, then online services TV views will not be available to you.
• If video communication via Skype is supposed, then the speed parameter should be more than 500 KB per second.
• If you are a fan of browser games, then you need a speed of over 256 MB.

In addition, the speed of signal transmission, for the mobile Internet to work well, may also depend on physical parameters - the distance of the device from the equipment of the cellular operator.

You should choose the best offer that is on the mobile data market, following these tips:

1. You should choose the optimal tariff plan from all the operators' offers, find a good tariff that best suits your needs. For example, the available daily or monthly traffic quota.
2. Open the Internet on your stationary computer and look at the coverage map of each of the selected operator in order to determine the best option for yourself.
3. It is possible to test each operator in practice, but for this you have to pre-purchase sim cards s and do online speed testing. You can decide for yourself whether the offer is right for you or not.

Overview of offers on the Russian market

Today, when using the mobile Internet, many users abandon their usual smartphones in favor of tablets, so they are interested in current offers specifically for the tablet. But we will consider options for both smartphones and tablets.

So, what attractive deals do the different operators have?

From MTS

This provider is very popular both in the Russian market segment and in neighboring countries, flexible tariff plans and many special offers for tablet and smartphone attract users. And the current competition for its customers only spurred the company to develop and improve its telecommunications network.

Packages offered by MTS for the tablet:

• The tariff is called “For a tablet”. It includes not only Internet traffic, but also a special TV application from MTS, through which you can connect to the network anywhere. However, in the regions of the Far East, there are restrictions for it, since the signal transmission speed does not exceed 129 Kilobits per second, and a quota of only 3 GB is allocated for 30 days. Connection price - 400 rubles.
• If you purchase the "MTS Tablet Kit", then the user can return to his mobile account up to 20% of already paid funds, although he also has speed limits and can not work fully everywhere.
• BIT and SUPERBIT tariffs can also be suitable for a mobile device. The first offer includes only 50 MB of traffic for 149 rubles, and the second 100, but for 299 rubles.
• Connect from MTS - this line is purchased only when buying a modem of the same name, but the speed indicator reaches up to 21.6 MB per second, and immediately after activation, 699 rubles will be debited from the account, but after that the client will have to pay 600 rubles. monthly.

From Beeline

The networks of one of the largest operators operate in many countries of the former Soviet Union, and many of them have already mastered the new generation of 4G data transmission.

Beeline offers a whole line of favorable tariffs of the Highway series:

• With a dedicated 3 GB of traffic at 350 rubles / m.
• 7 GB will cost 550 rubles.
• 15 - already 850.
• Well, for the most active, 30 GB is offered for 1150 rubles.

At the end of the allocated limit, the user will not be blocked, he will be connected up to 20 MB of traffic for an amount of 200 rubles. But you can not connect a weighty monthly package, but use daily rates, for example, the company will allocate 100 MB of traffic for 19 rubles per day, or 500 for 29 rubles. You can switch absolutely free of charge, but refusal of the service will cost the user 45 rubles.

From TELE2

The rapidly developing company offers its customers, probably, the most profitable option for using sim cards for tablet mobile devices:

• The "BLACK" tariff includes 2 GB of high-speed Internet for only 200 rubles.
• VERY BLACK includes 10 GB for 399 rubles.
• "MOST BLACK" - 10 GB + free TV for 599 rubles.
• "SUPER BLACK" for 1099 rubles. provides 15 GB of traffic at the highest speed.

From MEGAFON

Immediately it is necessary to make a reservation that the company uses only American or European equipment, so the rates are slightly overestimated, but this is compensated by an excellent signal even in the most remote regions of the country:

• Tariff under the marker "S" for 390 rubles. will provide 2 GB, minutes for calls and sms.
• Under the marker "M" you will receive for 690 rubles. 6 GB.
• "L" provides for the opportunity to get already 20 GB at a price of 990 rubles, while the traffic is divided into night and day.
• The most expensive, but the most voluminous package called "XL" will cost 1290 rubles. The subscriber receives 20 GB of traffic day and night, that is, 40 GB per day.

From YOTA

The operator decided to exclude voice communication from Internet packages for tablet computers. The company positions them as completely unlimited, so the line of offers is built only on the amount of data reception limit in gigabytes:

• For 400 rubles, the client will receive up to 512 KB.
• 700 rubles will allow you to download data at a speed of 1.7 MB.
• Over 900 - 5.0 MB.

The scale is progressive, how much the user used the traffic, so much he will be obliged to pay, but in general it can be stated:

• On the day of going online, the price will be 50 rubles.
• For 30 days - 590 p.
• A month - 4500 rubles for completely unlimited use of high-speed traffic.

Conclusion

Megafon catches almost everywhere, Beeline and MTS have problems, for TELE2 the device must necessarily support the technologies of a new generation of networks, and YOTA is so far doing well with its tasks only in the Moscow region.

When making your choice, we recommend checking the coverage area to be sure of receiving a signal from a particular mobile Internet operator. We also advise you to decide how much traffic you need per month, and on the basis of this you can already make a choice, automatically filtering out offers with an unnecessary limit for you.

Today we cannot imagine our life without mobile communication, which is an attribute of almost every aspect of it. There are several major communication providers that provide various types of services, and in this article we will help you figure out how to choose the most suitable one among them. How to determine which mobile operator is better? Especially for you, we have compiled a rating of Russian cellular operators.

The best mobile operators 2018-2019

The demand for mobile communications is growing every year, and there are 4 large operators that fully satisfy this demand.

1. MEGAPHONE
2. BEELINE
3. Tele2

Each operator has both its advantages and disadvantages, which we will discuss in more detail in this article.

The rating of mobile operators is regularly reviewed by Roskomnadzor, taking into account the opinions of users. Operator Yota, which occupies a significant part of the market, is not included in this rating, since it does not have its own towers and is a subsidiary of Megafon. Yota rents towers from leading market players, the width of the coverage suffers from this. The rating is compiled on the basis of many factors, among the most significant are the following:

• Mobile communication quality
• Mobile internet quality
• Percentage of delivered messages
• Cost of services
• Network coverage level.

To assess the quality of services of a particular operator, we will use statistics.

cellular

The leading position in this category is occupied by the Megafon company, the quality of communication of which tends to be absolute, having only 0.7% of failures throughout the network. The second place is occupied by MTS, slightly lagging behind Megafon, with 0.8% failures. Beeline is a kind of anti-record holder, having as much as 15.1% of failures. At the same time, Tele2, relatively young for Russia, has only 1.2% of failures.

Mobile Internet

In terms of mobile internet speed, the difference between operators is more noticeable. Here Megafon is also in the lead, providing real speed up to 14 Mbit / s. It is followed by MTS with 10.1 Mbit / s, followed by Tele2 with 9.4 Mbit / s, closes the line of the Beeline rating (5 Mbit / s).


Despite the high speed, Megafon cannot boast of a good number of successful connections via IP / TCP and HTTP, giving 3% failures in the first case and 4.4% in the second. MTS has the largest share of successful connections, with 0.6% and 0.8% failures, respectively. However, it should be noted that the Internet speed for each operator varies depending on the region of coverage.

Instant messaging

Here we have a leading position taken by "Beeline", showing the result in 100% of delivered messages. Tele2 is next, with 1.2% of undelivered SMS, Megafon did not deliver 1.7%, while MTS did not receive 2.4%.

Coverage level

In this section, we will only consider 4G coverage, since it is difficult to determine the coverage level for conventional communications, for the reason that some operators often rent towers from others, and it is difficult to estimate this indicator. Consider the coverage level in Moscow and the region - it is in this region that the highest density of 4G towers.
In terms of 4G coverage, Megafon again showed the leadership. Experts explain this by the fact that this operator was the first to start installing LTE towers, significantly ahead of competitors. Megafon's 4G network coverage is 32.2%. The second place, according to the research, is held by MTS with an indicator of 30.9%, closes the top three. The second place in the research was taken by the operator MTS with an indicator of 30.9%, the third - by Beeline with a result of 28.8%.

Cost of services

Each operator provides a huge variety of tariffs, we will not disassemble all of them, but only compare the general characteristics. The cost of communication tariffs is dynamic, the average price tag in Russia for a package is 300-350 rubles / month. According to ComNews Research analysts, when using a small basket (no mobile Internet, a small number of calls and messages, focus on on-net calls), MTS became the most profitable operator. In other cases, which cover the majority of users (Internet, calls, messages), the best operator in terms of the cost of services, both according to experts and user reviews, is the Tele2 provider. The cost of an average package for all operators varies greatly depending on the region of service, and in the Far Eastern and northern districts, the values ​​are uneven. If we take an assessment of the trends in the central regions, the cost of an average package varies in this order, from the cheapest to the most expensive.

The need to access the Internet from anywhere using the Phone has become a part of every person's daily life for a long time. And if there are no problems with calls, then in the case of mobile Internet 4 g, you need to find which operator is better.

Before answering this question, it is necessary to clarify why one is better than the other. The difference is primarily in speed, in the second case, images, maps are loaded faster, and HD videos can be viewed online. The former is more limited in terms of speed, so it is difficult to watch HD videos with it, and the loading of pictures is slower. However, while the coverage of the first is higher than the second, and nevertheless it is a network of the future, which is more technologically advanced and will be present in all cities of our country in the future.

So, mobile 4g ​​internet: which operator is better?

Operator comparison

Megaphone

Its main advantages:

• there are no difficulties with access to the mobile Internet within the city;
• currently, Megafon is finding a solution to the problem outside the city - even sparsely populated areas are equipped with special base stations;
• high speed, regardless of where you are.

Of the minuses, it should be noted not the lowest cost.

Beeline

Choose if you plan to use mobile Internet within the city or within a short distance from it. But the plus is that its cost is cheaper than that of Megafon and the speed within the city is good.

MTS

The main advantage of MTS is the multitude of tariffs. In terms of speed, it is no better than others. But of the minuses, it should be noted:

• high price - this is the most expensive option today;
• low speed in sparsely populated areas.

Tele 2

The main disadvantage of Tele2: it has the least number of base stations in the country, which leads to interruptions and interference when using the mobile Internet. But the pluses include:

• high speed;
• low cost.

Thus, if you choose which operator with a given mobile Internet is better, then Megafon should be called the leader. MTS will be on the bottom line.

The best smartphones, modem, router

Having decided on the operator that is more suitable, you need to find. The modern gadget market is rich and diverse in choice. To date, there are 6 leading smartphones in the list: LG, Huawei, Samsung, Meizu, ZTE, Nokia.

The question also arises: with a 4g mobile Internet, which operator's modem will be better to choose? Such a modem is significantly different from what 3G supports. MTS has 3 variants of devices with support for 4G, Megafon has a large selection, just like Beeline. The choice of the best solution depends on the coverage of the operator in a particular city. The cost is about the same for all. A model without reference to them is more expensive.
