The so-called social tariffs, focused on voice communication and SMS correspondence, are slowly being closed - apparently, fewer people can live without the Internet. And yet, operators do not completely abandon the category of users who need only package minutes. Offers for them often do not include any subscription fee, but not all of them are truly profitable.With rare exceptions, you will have to forget about unlimited limits and talk on the phone with an eye to the time - exceeding the upper limit specified by the operator in the conditions threatens not the most humane increase in the cost of calls. That's why, speaking further about the best tariffs for calls without the Internet, we will mean their reasonable use.

Top 1. Rostelecom New history

The best ratio of price and quality

For 250 rubles, you can choose any tariff option: 200 minutes for calls with almost no Internet, unlimited Internet without minutes, and something in between: telephone and Internet. Calls to Rostelecom, and hence to most city phones, are free.

  • Tariff price: 250 rubles / month.
  • Tariff package: 200 min., 50 SMS, 4 GB
  • Options: "Social networks", "Messengers"
  • Roaming: up to 69 rubles/min.
  • Features: 12 months Wink TV-Online for free

Rostelecom is the largest telecommunications company present in all segments of the communications market and covering millions of users. Calls within its network, including fixed numbers, are not charged. The "History" tariff series includes the cheapest offers for calls both without Internet and with it. The choice is excellent because it allows the user to choose the conditions that suit him. At the end of tariff minutes and traffic, the operator does not act on its own and sends additional packages only at the request of the subscriber. Although he still has one trick: once you connect any additional package, he decides that the same package is needed next month and, accordingly, writes off a large monthly fee for this. You can disconnect through your personal account or a call to technical support, but this method does not help right away. Nevertheless, New History has much more pluses than minuses: they include the transfer of balances, the exchange of minutes for gigabytes (the reverse exchange is not provided), unlimited in instant messengers and social networks, and an annual subscription to 100 TV channels.

Pros and cons
  • Profitable price
  • Tariff with several service packages
  • Stable connection, wide coverage
  • Transferring paid traffic to the next month
  • Auto connection of the previous additional package
  • Disabling all services at the end of traffic

    With the advent of 2020, there are NO truly favorable tariffs. There is no FAS for mobile operators. Let's go to the Stone Age with such prices. Why do I need all sorts of 3G / 4G / 5G in places where there is only 2G and even then not everywhere, and even at exorbitant prices?
  2. Russian
    250 rubles, the cheapest Tele2 tariff, about which you write "200". It's already 250!
  3. Sergey
    In a megaphone, there is no "per second" tariff at all, and when contacting them, they pretend that they do not hear.
    You already have some sort of information.
