10 profitable mobile tariffs for pensioners in 2021

VTB Mobile "Basic" is unlimited communication within the network, 200 minutes for calls to other operators, 50 SMS and 3 GB of traffic with unlimited access to VTB Online. Despite the fact that the subscription fee is quite high, the tariff plan pleases with the absence of hidden subscriptions that are connected spontaneously. Here you can always see what you pay for, and if you wish, you can change the scope of services using a convenient constructor in the application. A nice bonus awaits new customers - 1000 rubles to the account when switching with their number.There is a special promotion for pensioners, with which communication will cost only 149 rubles. But not everything is so simple - in order to take advantage of the offer, you will have to transfer your pension to VTB.

Gazprombank Mobile has the most affordable tariff plan. It can be connected for 250 rubles. However, if you have a bank card, then the price will drop to 75 rubles per month. There is more Internet than cheaper options, but there is no unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers. So if you use it, you will have to make a paid subscription. Calls within the network are not limited. Communication with subscribers of other companies after the exhaustion of the main limit will be inexpensive. However, if minutes and gigabytes, on the contrary, remain, then they are transferred to the next month, which is a big plus.Among the shortcomings, periodic network and communication failures can be noted, which arise due to the fact that the operator has recently entered the market and has not really had time to debug all the technical processes.

"Start" is a new offer from SberMobile, within which the subscriber is offered 150 minutes and 3 GB of traffic (SMS is not included in the price). You can use the services completely free of charge if you have a SberPrime subscription. If not, then it's not scary - the subscription fee in this case will be only 200 rubles per month. Among the advantages, one can single out free communication within the network and unlimited access to a number of services from Sberbank, for example: SberBank Online, DeliveryClub, 2GIS, Citymobil, SberMarket, Samokat, etc. If desired, for an additional amount, you can connect unlimited to any social networks, instant messengers, as well as services for listening to music and watching videos.However, it is better to keep track of expenses, since for every 500 MB you will have to pay extra 50 rubles from above.

A profitable option with a low monthly fee from Tele2. To connect, it is enough to contact any branch of the Russian Post and present a pension certificate, disability certificate or other document confirming the right to receive a pension. The set includes unlimited calls within the network of the home region and 100 minutes for calls with subscribers of other operators. There is not much traffic, but there is unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers: Odnoklassniki, VKontakte, Viber, WhatsApp. You can also use Yandex.Maps and Yandex.Navigator without restrictions.At the same time, it is still better to keep track of expenses, since after 3 GB is exhausted, an additional package is automatically connected, where you will have to pay 50 rubles for every 500 MB.

"Social package" from Beeline is an affordable tariff created specifically for pensioners. Anyone who receives a pension for age, disability or other reasons can connect it. Each month, the subscriber will have access to 200 minutes for communication within the home region. However, they are spent when calling both Beeline and other operators, there is no separation. After the main limit is exhausted, calls within the network (including long-distance) will remain free. There is not much Internet - only 3 GB for a month. But in addition there is unlimited access to social networks, instant messengers and cards.True, many complain about the low download speed. Another rather big minus is that the transition with the old number is impossible, you will have to issue a new one.

Megaphone "Per second" is a good option for pensioners who rarely use the phone. Of course, compared to other offers, this is the most expensive, the cost of a call will cost 3 rubles per minute. Nevertheless, the tariff has an undeniable advantage that distinguishes it from other options - billing here takes place per second, which means that you pay only for the actual call time without any rounding.You can benefit from this if you often make short calls. You can connect a tariff plan for free, but it comes with additional paid options. To avoid unnecessary expenses, turn them off in a personal account or communication salon in a timely manner.

Tele2 also has one advantageous offer without a monthly fee. Tariff plan "Classic" is suitable for pensioners who call mainly within their region. Calls are charged the same, regardless of the number of which operator the call is made to. The main advantage of the tariff, in comparison with other offers in the rating, is low rates for communication with subscribers from other regions of Russia.Conversations within the network will cost only 3 rubles per minute, with the rest it is already more expensive - 9 rubles, but this is still lower than that of competitors. From the unpleasant: there are paid features that are connected by default and spend money even when the SIM card is inactive. To avoid unnecessary spending, turn them off immediately after the transition.

"Super MTS" is an excellent tariff for pensioners who do not sit for hours on social networks and call mainly within their home region. Conversations within the network will cost quite inexpensively - 2 rubles per minute, with other operators - 2.80. If you wish, you can connect the "All Super" option, with which all calls to MTS and landline numbers will be unlimited. It also provides access to the Internet - up to 100 Mb per day. However, the service is paid and will cost 11 rubles per day.In addition, it is worth considering that the option is activated automatically when switching to a tariff plan, and if you do not need it, you will need to disable it yourself in your personal account or communication salon.

If most of your friends use Megafon services, then the Go to ZERO tariff is the best option. Outgoing calls within the network will cost only 1.5 rubles per minute. But if you connect the "Unlimited to MegaFon" option for 5 rubles per day, then all calls will be free. Calls to numbers of other subscribers are charged per minute and are also quite inexpensive. As such, the tariff plan does not have any drawbacks, but there is one caveat: “Unlimited on MegaFon” and “Convenient Internet” will be initially connected, if you do not need them, then you will have to turn them off yourself so that the daily payment is not debited.

The most advantageous offer for pensioners without a fixed subscription fee. The main feature is the single cost of calls and SMS in the home region. That is, no matter who you call: be it numbers of MTS, Beeline, Megafon or another operator, the cost will always be calculated at 1.8 rubles per minute. With messages, the same story - regardless of the recipient, they will always cost 2.10 rubles apiece. If necessary, for an additional amount, you can connect an SMS package and mobile Internet traffic. In general, the option is excellent, but for those who are not online and occasionally make calls, it’s a godsend.However, customers warn that you should constantly monitor the costs, as here you can regularly write off money for paid features that you are not even aware of.
