Mobile communications in Crimea
Although the Crimea is now part of Russia, mobile communication does not work there like in other parts of our country. In Crimea, there are no Beeline, Megaphone, MTS, Tele2, Yota networks, and Win Mobile, Krymtelecom, Wave Mobile have their own networks, so all sim cards of Russian operators work in Crimea in roaming mode.
All Russian operators, except MTS, roaming in Crimea is quite expensive - calls, SMS and megabytes of traffic cost 5-10 rubles. MTS package tariffs operating throughout Russia also work in the Crimea through roaming Win mobile. An additional fee is not taken, but there is one unpleasant feature - the free roaming of MTS works only in 2G mode. Internet speed is on average 0.1 Mbit / s.

Win Mobile has 3G and 4G networks, but for some reason MTS is only allowed in 2G. Apparently, so agreed.
I asked several residents of the Crimea and even SIM card sellers about mobile networks in Crimea, but to my surprise, they did not know anything, speaking only about MTS. I had to figure it out myself.
In Yalta, caught a network of three operators.
Network 25032 2G / 3G / 4G LTE is Win Mobile (K-Telecom).
Especially for vacationers are sold sim cards with the tariff At the sea . Calls to phones of all operators in Russia cost 3 rubles per minute, SMS to phones of mobile operators in Russia - 1.95 rubles, mobile Internet - 10 rubles per 100 MB (upon using mobile Internet, 100 MB of traffic per day is provided for 10 rubles. In case of exceeding 100 MB quotas are provided for another 100 MB for 10 rubles, but not more than 15 times per day.).
Network 25094 2G / 3G belongs to the operator Krymtelekom .
In the Internet S Tariff Plan 100 MB of traffic costs 5 rubles. The “Youth” tariff plan has a monthly fee of 100 rubles per month, which includes 3 Gb of traffic and unlimited calls to Krymtelecom numbers. Calls to Russian phones - 5 rubles per minute, SMS - 2 rubles.
The third network 25060 2G / 3G belongs to the operator Wave Mobile (KTK-Telecom), which has not yet been launched.
If you are planning a trip to the Crimea, I recommend to get a MTS sim card in advance with a tariff that provides mobile Internet throughout Russia, so that you can immediately be connected, and buy a Win Mobile or Krymtelecom sim card on the spot.
The cheapest option for MTS is the tariff with the strange name MTS Smart Unlimited , a sim card with which you can buy in Moscow for 200 rubles. Every day in the first month 12.9 rubles will be written off, for which give unlimited Internet, 200 minutes and 200 sms per month. Upon return, the tariff can be changed to any tariff without a monthly fee, for example, Super MTS. Let me remind you once again that the Internet in Crimea with this sim card will be very slow - only 2G.
ps Important advice. If your mobile Internet does not work in roaming, although everything is set up correctly, simply turn off the phone (do not transfer to airplane mode, do not overload), wait a minute and turn it on again.
