Beeline has changed the way messages are priced at many prepaid and postpaid rates, not only
for Moscow , but also for other regions. Now, instead of the fixed cost of each SMS, a new scheme is used: the first SMS per day costs 10 rubles (for Moscow subscribers), further 100 messages are provided free of charge, and each next SMS costs 2 rubles. Whether the new payment scheme is applied only when sending messages to local numbers or to any Beeline numbers, the press service replied that only to local ones.
Innovations did not affect tariffs for modems and tablets, as well as the "All inclusive" line, but each region has its own exceptions. Among the "lucky ones" were subscribers of the new tariff plans, for example, "Zero Doubt", "Simple", "World Beeline 2013", "Welcome 2013", and in Tver new conditions apply in general to all prepaid tariffs.
For those who do not agree with the new payment system, Beeline has prudently introduced the "SMS Without Borders" option, on which each message costs 1 ruble, but there is still no description of this service and how to connect it to the site.
In fact, Beeline imposed a service with a monthly fee, although it formally only changed the rating system of messages. You can activate special SMS packages or the
SMS Freedom service, which activates 100 messages to local numbers for 7 rubles per day. But even here it was not without a trick:
Beeline raised the cost of another similar service, SMS Mania .

It is alarming that the cost of the first message in the new pricing scheme on the site was not indicated for 10 days, as it should be, but appeared only after the appeal of the editors of Teleus.ru to the press service of the Moscow Beeline with the corresponding question.


New Beeline rates in the regions for the first SMS range from 6 rubles for
Nizhny Novgorod subscribers and up to 8 rubles for
Tver ,
Belgorod and
Voronezh subscribers.
For subscribers who send SMS rarely, but a lot of the benefits are obvious, since on average now one message to the numbers of local operators costs 2.5-3 rubles. In a completely different position, there are subscribers who send only a couple of messages a day every day, but will have to give more than 300 rubles per month for them.
Recently, Beeline made it a rule to offer services "with a load." For example, in the option for international roaming
"SuperVize", the first minute of outgoing or incoming
calls costs 60 rubles a day, the next 20 minutes are not charged, and then every minute of calls costs 3 rubles. The same with the option
"Planet Zero" : as soon as the subscriber answers an incoming call, 19 rubles are charged from it, and the next 9 minutes can be spoken for free.
