Mobile communication "Rostelecom", reviews of which in Russia are mostly positive, was created on the basis of the organization of the same name, which became the successor to the USSR Ministry of Communications. huge power, a large number of professional specialists, development potential - the company is actively implementing all this today, trying to catch up with its competitors and push out their composition of the "Big Three".
As of 2017, the organization employs more than 140 thousand employees, all of them are busy ensuring the smooth operation of not only mobile communications, but also wired home internet. Not so long ago, Rostelecom signed an agreement with Tele2 Russia, due to which both parties benefited: the first was able to significantly expand its coverage, and the second began to control the general state of affairs of the company's mobile television systems.
Rostelecom: history of mobile communications
Mobile communication "Rostelecom", reviews of the high quality of which are distributed, including due to the effect of word of mouth, initially had a great advantage over all other telecom operators. The fixed telephony base received in 1990 from the USSR Ministry of Communications helped to create a high-quality one. Most of the first mobile numbers functioned as part of the subsidiaries of this company, in particular, Skylink, Yeniseitelecom, Baikalwestcom, etc.
The situation changed in the winter of 2014, when the assets of Tele2 Russia were merged into the company. This has resulted in huge cost savings by pooling capacity and freed up resources. The money received was used to modernize the network, as well as advertising to attract new customers. As of 2016, the company's total revenue amounted to more than 295 billion rubles, and the number of mobile users has already exceeded 15 million.
Network coverage
If you decide to purchase cellular telephone, then the most The best way form an impression of Rostelecom mobile communications - reviews on the quality of coverage. As of December 2017, the company serves more than 70 Russian regions, which are conditionally divided into 7 macro branches - Center, Ural, Volga, North-West, Far East, Siberia and South . Within each of them, work is constantly underway to build and improve existing base stations that affect network coverage.
Since the company is exclusively Russian, you will not be able to use its services when traveling abroad. But you should not despair, because there are roaming partners that provide communication services to Russian operators for quite a favorable prices. Tariffication will depend on which country you decide to go to, as a rule, the most expensive are countries that are too little popular among Russian residents, a detailed list of them can be found on the official website of the mobile operator.
Company Features
If you have already purchased a device with Rostelecom mobile communications, positive reviews about the quality of communication will not be new to you. In addition to the direct service of cellular communications, the company also leases its facilities to other operators, this is quite a normal practice, due to this, they manage to reduce the cost of providing their services to customers. In addition, in some regions of Russia, Rostelecom is a monopoly operator, and local residents mainly use it, but random guests would have a hard time here if the company did not allow the use of its base stations.
As of 2017, all the company's cellular assets are under joint management, in which Tele2 also participates. During the three years of the existence of such an alliance, it was possible to completely restore the operation of base stations according to a completely new model in Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg, Tver, Arkhangelsk and adjacent regions. According to analysts, the company is heading to teach its customers to use the mobile Internet more often and even use it to make calls.
Moscow and region
The simplest tool that will allow you to choose a Rostelecom mobile connection is reviews. Moscow is the most convenient city for registering a SIM card. It is there that customers are offered the most convenient tariffs, for example, in December 2017, the “For all L” plan was introduced, on which for only 399 rubles a month you can get 12 gigabytes of Internet traffic and 500 minutes for calls to absolutely any Russian numbers. A distinctive feature - all components of the package can be transferred to the next month.
Rostelecom, together with Tele2, have set a course for the maximum simplification of tariffs, which is why no more than 10-15 of them are offered in each region. In Moscow and the region, “On All XL” is very popular, which includes 1,500 minutes to all numbers in the Russian Federation, as well as 30 gigabytes of Internet traffic, the monthly fee here is 799 rubles per month, which is very profitable compared to other operators.
There is also a weak link in the composition of Rostelecom - the mobile communications of the Moscow region, reviews of which leave much to be desired. Often, customers complain about disconnections and low network coverage. Of course, the company is aware of this problem and is trying to solve it, but it takes quite a lot of time. As a kind of compensation, we can consider the appearance on the market of the Super Simka S tariff plan, which provides customers with free calls to Rostelecom numbers throughout Russia, as well as 5 gigabytes of Internet traffic, the monthly fee here is only 7 rubles per day.
Voronezh
Not so long ago, a strong link appeared in the mobile communications of Rostelecom - Voronezh, reviews local residents about the company gush with positive and joy. Previously, all of the company's current customers were served by the Nizhny Novgorod Cellular Communications organization, and they constantly had difficulties in obtaining mobile communication and Internet services.
After the reorganization of the local operator, things immediately improved, and the number of connected customers in the region increased significantly. Customers note a large number of convenient and transparent tariffs, as well as noticeable improvements in the quality of communication, which allow using the services without fear that the conversation may be interrupted at any time.
Tariff plans
Despite the fact that the company also provides services, Rostelecom's main priority is mobile communications; tariffs, reviews about the company, details - all this is in the public domain for everyone. All tariff plans offered by it are mainly divided into two types: package and standard. The first ones represent a whole range of services: minutes for calls, Internet packages, SMS messages, etc. For the client, such tariff plans are the most profitable, because for relatively small price they receive immediately all the necessary services.
Standard tariff plans are gradually becoming a thing of the past, as they are much more expensive than modern ones. In this case, we are not talking about traffic packages, minutes and messages, the client uses a pre-set tariffication, while he can connect the necessary options with traffic, SMS or minutes for an additional fee. The cost of connecting tariff plans and their billing will directly depend on the region in which the client is located. As a rule, the most expensive communication is in underdeveloped areas located on Far East and in the northern part of the country.
The mobile operator Rostelecom offers its customers cellular communication services, from which any customer can choose the most interesting offer for his mobile phone, personal computer or tablet. At the same time, the mobile operator guarantees high quality of communication, and all that is needed for this is a Rostelecom SIM card.

Since the provider is one of the most common in the Russian Federation, a mobile connection does an excellent job even in the most remote corners of our country. Rostelecom's coverage is simply excellent. Many distant settlements use only it, since there is no alternative. Other carriers do not provide as wide coverage as this company.

Among them:
- The ability to change unused minutes to gigabytes in order to surf the network longer - for limited tariff plans. 100 minutes equals one GB of traffic.

Rostelecom has long jumped the bar of an ordinary home Internet provider. The organization keeps pace with the times. If earlier mobile Internet was practically inaccessible to the masses due to its cost, today it is an urgent need. Therefore, Rostelecom has been providing mobile communication services for a long time, which we will discuss in detail in this article.
Nowadays, there are a lot of offers related to mobile communication services. Therefore, the consumer is demanding and relies on a simple rule - maximum opportunities for little money. Rostelecom follows this rule:
- Unlimited opportunities in terms of calls and Internet traffic;
Here we ask you to carefully approach the choice of options. So, for example, free calls are possible to the numbers of Rostelecom subscribers. And Internet traffic may not be taken into account solely in in social networks or on certain websites. But this information when choosing options, you will definitely get;
- TV online - you get access to a special application "";
It's important to note that the advantage of the feature is not that you can use the app. The main thing is that Internet traffic is not wasted.
- 8 tariffs that are seriously different from each other;
The number may seem small. But Rostelecom has another advantage in terms of tariffs. If you do not have enough Internet, minutes of calls or SMS, for a formal cost you can buy traffic, messages, calls and so on. To some extent, any tariff can be customized additionally for yourself.
- Received, according to the rules of the tariff, minutes, SMS and gigabytes do not burn out after a month;
This is the most convenient and loyal system in relation to the client. Let's say you have 5 GB of traffic per month. You spent only 3 GB in a month. The remaining 2 can be carried over to the next month. They won't burn out, which happens with many other carriers. A similar situation with minutes and messages.
- Exchange minutes for GB;
This advantage is somewhat related to the previous one. If you talk on the phone a little enough, minutes will not be wasted - it is better to exchange them for Internet traffic.
