We'll tell you how not to go broke on calls home, but also not to limit yourself too much in conversations.
For those who don't want to bother
By default, the cost of calls to Russia from abroad via a Russian switzerland phone number library operator is very high. Most operators charge more than 50 rubles per minute for a roaming call (for example, MTS charges 80 rubles per minute for calls from Egypt and Turkey for its most basic tariff, "Smart"). In a few minutes of conversation at such rates, you can spend any balance on your phone, and if the tariff provides for post-payment, you can go into deep minus.
Therefore, when going abroad, it is necessary to think in advance about how you will make and answer calls if necessary.
The cheapest option is free Wi-Fi in restaurants and hotels. However, if you are not going to Europe, you should not rely on this option alone. In the CIS countries and Asia, free Internet access is not available everywhere, and where it is available, the quality of the connection may not allow you to make a call. It is better to take care of the Internet connection in advance.
The easiest way is to connect a package of calls abroad from your operator. All major operators have special offers for tourists, and they are structured the same way: every day when using the Internet or calls, a subscription fee is debited and a certain amount of services is provided. However, this is not the most profitable option: in this way, you can transfer up to 400 rubles to the operator every day, and on some tariffs even more. Even if the trip lasts a week, communication services will cost a considerable amount.
The most popular option is to buy a local SIM card . In this case, the cost of calls and the Internet is reduced several times, and, what is important, communication within the region will be very profitable. It will come in handy if you need to, for example, order a taxi, an excursion or delivery. However, in this case, after arriving in the country, you will have to frantically look for cellular communication points (ideally, not designed for tourists), and you will miss absolutely all calls to your main phone. They can be important: for example, they can call you with an urgent work issue, they will try to call from a bank or from the housing office.
For those who are not ready to give up important things
If you want to use local rates and still have access to your number, we recommend purchasing a Multi IMSI SIM before traveling abroad.
This is a SIM card that already has up to 10 mobile operator profiles recorded, that is, in fact, 10 SIM cards. Such a card allows you to manage several operator profiles.
