Inexpensive Internet in Europe. What are the options?

The most common need for international roaming short-term. An “ordinary” call or message to loved ones about a successful landing or check-in at a hotel is unlikely to ruin you, but on vacation and during the holidays, many are faced with the high cost of calls, messages and mobile Internet. High-profile “roaming” cases immediately come to mind, like the one about the TV series “Interns” downloaded while roaming, for which the operator asked for more than 1 million rubles.

With your samovar

According to a survey by online travel agency Tripsta, more than half of Russians use the services of Russian mobile operators when traveling abroad, and only 12% of respondents prefer not to use a phone at all when abroad. What should those who need communication while traveling do? Of course, there is no point in changing the tariff for a short period. Of course, local Wi-Fi, instant messengers and pre-downloaded city maps save some of the communication costs. And yet, what solutions do our mobile operators offer in international roaming?

Operator/tariff/option Subscription fee, rub./day Cost of incoming calls, rub./min. Cost of outgoing calls, rub./min. Cost of SMS, rub.

Option "Zero without borders"
95 0 first 10 minutes, then 25 25 from 2nd to 5th minutes, the rest - according to the roaming tariff 19

Rates, options and services apply in many, but not all, countries. Check the list of countries on the operator’s website.

It is worth noting that Tele2, which recently entered the market of the Moscow region, even without additional services ready to compete with the “big three” operators, offering basic tariffs pay 15 rubles per minute for incoming/outgoing calls in roaming (in Europe and the CIS countries) and 6 rubles for SMS and MMS in the absence of any additional services.

The same basic incoming/outgoing for European countries and some other countries will cost 49 rubles from Megafon, 69 rubles from Beeline, and from 25 to 115 rubles from MTS. respectively. Basic cost SMS for all three operators is the same - 19 rubles. Separate packages to reduce the cost of sending short messages MTS and Megafon have roaming services (195-700 rubles/month), but we dare to assume that the majority of Sravni.ru visitors successfully replace SMS and MMS with the functions of online messengers (WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Skype, Facebook, etc. .).

Cost per minute of conversation outgoing call the most profitable is MTS with the “Free Travel” option - 4.17 rubles, but taking into account calls for 60 minutes per day. After all, for 60 minutes you will have to pay 250 rubles a day, whether you reprimand them or not. And indeed “Free travel” for a limited number European countries, plus Australia, Armenia, Israel and the UAE.

SIM card of the world

For frequent travelers roaming Russian operators, even with connected options, the pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, many of them buy international SIM cards that are valid in large quantities countries Some tourists can be offered such a SIM card by travel agencies (Globalsim group of companies), and those flying through Moscow airports don’t even have to think about purchasing it in advance - Simtravel Mobile SIM cards are sold in Hellobox machines, Euroset and Svyaznoy salons » in Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo, respectively. You can also purchase an international SIM card from the Goodline company at Euroset, Svyaznoy and some travel agencies.

Tariffs for international SIM cards do not differ much from each other, unlike the offers of national operators. Thus, all tariffs analyzed by Sravni.ru do not involve charging subscription fee, in almost all cases you won’t have to pay for incoming calls, and they charge only 10 cents for SMS. True, messages will not have to be sent in the usual way, and through the sim menu and with Latin letters. The cheapest outgoing calls to landline numbers in two capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg - are offered by Goodline and Simtravel mobile. A minute will cost the subscriber 0.05 USD. Calls to Russian mobile numbers at the tariffs of the same companies will cost 29 cents (22.13 rubles at the Central Bank exchange rate as of February 2, 2016). For calls to mobile numbers more favorable tariffs WellTell – 20 cents per minute (Contact package) or 16.67-13.89 cents (Whole World packages).

All of the above tariffs do not involve a subscription fee and are valid in many countries around the world, but in some the conditions may differ from those indicated. Exclusions and tariff surcharges for different countries can be found on the operator’s website.

Considering the current floating exchange rate of the ruble, the cost of calls and SMS for Russians at the rates of international SIM cards has increased significantly, since they are denominated in US dollars. But even at the current exchange rate, this option is more profitable for travelers than roaming tariffs." big three" The same applies to the mobile Internet - packages from international SIM card operators are usually more profitable, but full-fledged Mobile Internet in roaming it will definitely cost less when purchasing local SIM card.

I will move to London

What should you do if you plan to move to another country for a long time, and the “home” number of a Russian operator is needed to receive calls from work partners, relatives, acquaintances, or colleagues, address books which it has been recorded for many years? Or you want to save your number and continue to use it upon returning from a long-term “business trip”. In this case, it is unlikely that the subscriber will use the mobile Internet, make frequent calls or send messages - for this he probably has a local SIM card. But since you leave the number in working condition, it should be possible to receive incoming calls and messages.

Only Megafon offers a special tariff for such subscribers (the “Around the World” tariff with calls from 13 rubles per minute, without mandatory monthly or daily expenses, but only with a prepaid advance payment of 300 rubles). Other operators are limited special services and options more suitable for short-term trips. But the international SIM cards mentioned above have the ability to link a Russian number. That is, the Russian number remains active, calls can continue to be made to it, but calls will go through to an international SIM card. True, in this case they will be regarded as outgoing (not for a Russian, but for an international card), which means they will not be free. To put it simply: both forwarding and the auto-call function work simultaneously.

These are the main options for saving on cellular communication abroad. Considering the possibility of switching with your number to another operator, the functions of linking a Russian SIM card to an international one, everyone can choose convenient offers for their own purposes. The main thing in the pursuit of savings is not to forget about the tariffs of your operator and top up your phone balance in a timely manner. While abroad, you can do this using bank card V personal account telecom operator or via online banking.

European mobile communications are one of the most developed in the world. Internet surfing, economical rates, convenient ways payments, bonuses, discounts - such achievements of civilization are freely available to residents of the European Union countries.

The Internet is always at hand

It’s hard to imagine their everyday life without mobile Internet access. Of course, in traffic jam It's time to write a post on your social network page and post a bright photo. You can't do without a navigator when hiking around the city. And during a protracted office meeting, it’s convenient to use online banking to pay utility bills in between.

All this exists in Russia, but in Europe mobile access to the Internet has its own characteristics. It is better to find out about them before going abroad. Otherwise, you can get confused in numerous offers, contracts, tariffs and end up spending much more on accessing the network than this service actually costs.

Relationship with the operator - seriously and for a long time

The largest players in the European cellular communications market prefer not to waste time on short-term relationships with subscribers, but to tie them to themselves for many years. They use different methods for this.

In Germany and the Czech Republic, 90% of the population uses mobile communications under a contract that is concluded for a year or two with subsequent extension. Such a relationship with the operator guarantees round-the-clock and least expensive access to the mobile Internet. However, to complete them, you must comply with at least one important condition- have an account in a bank in the country of service.

And for the British who decided to terminate the contract with their mobile operator earlier deadline, you have to pay him for the entire period of the proposed cooperation.

You can activate a SIM card from some European companies only from their websites. To do this, you need to register and create a personal web account. Meanwhile, in Germany, Austria and other countries there are operators whose websites are available only in local languages, and translation into others is not provided.

Especially for travelers - tourist SIM card "GoodLine"

Profitable mobile Internet from local operators in Europe is most often designed for the needs and capabilities of their fellow countrymen. For tourists, this is usually not an option.

Before traveling to Europe, you should pay attention to tariff plans Russian company "GoodLine". They are intended specifically for tourists, since they take into account the short period of their stay abroad, as well as the need for online services, international communication via the Internet, etc.

Hello Geektimes!

In this publication, we decided to compare mobile Internet tariff plans in the EU and UK, just before the holiday season. We decided to touch on this topic for a reason: using special magic ( about which - further), the Mishiko dog tracker works in 170 countries around the world without additional roaming charges. So who, if not us, should understand pricing policy European operators (and Russian in roaming!).

We compared prices for mobile Internet when purchasing a local SIM card, a special global SIM card, and when paying for the services of Russian operators in roaming. Screenshot to attract attention: the cost of 1 MB of mobile Internet in Slovakia when roaming with Yota is... 790 rubles:

But first things first.

The first thing you need to know about mobile Internet in Europe is that you do not need to use it with Russian operators. Or every megabyte will be expensive.

Very expensive.

Fabulously dear

See for yourself:


The screenshot from the preview post did not appear out of nowhere. When we tested our Mishiko tracker in Europe, we used a Yota SIM card on our smartphone. And if in Hungary the operator’s tariff was really 20 rubles per megabyte, then crossing the border of Slovakia, the declared tariff turned into a pumpkin (you need to read all the stars in the tariffs more carefully):

Once again: 790 rubles for each megabyte used. We had about 1000 rubles in our account, and at the moment automatic check mail on iPhone, FB and Telegram updates, all thousand burned out in about 20 seconds (thanks to LTE). As it turned out, such brutal Yota tariffs also applies to Monaco, Andorra and Switzerland.

Conclusion: Despite the stated tariffs, be careful when using Russian operators in roaming. And the captain obviously suggests that it is better not to use Russian operators abroad at all.

What you need to know before buying a separate SIM card for traveling abroad:

1. The intermediary for the sale of foreign SIM cards will have to take his word for it, pay a commission and send a scan of his passport

Alas, a foreign SIM card in Russia can only be bought on creepy-looking intermediary sites (either with home delivery or self-pickup). When placing an order you must enter main information about yourself, and also upload a scan of your international passport to the website ( SIM card activation is impossible without transferring the passport data to the operator).

Intermediaries in this matter guarantee the protection and security of personal data, but only in words. If you want a little more guarantees, you can at least check their legal entity in the Register of operators processing personal data from everyone’s “favorite” Roskomnadzor. Whether such confirmation is enough for you to send a scan of your passport is a good question, the answer to which is up to you.

2. The intermediary will charge a commission for his services (which averages 10-20 euros). And if you run into a scam site, you will lose the entire cost of the SIM card - usually 20-40 euros.

How then does Mishiko work abroad?

Of course, since we decided to publish this article on our blog, we couldn’t help but talk about how the Mishiko dog tracker works in Europe (and not only in it).


A picture to attract attention: Mishiko shows a GPS location in Vienna near the Karlsplatz metro station. An interesting nuance: the phone itself is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, while Mishiko uses a 3G network.

The trick of Mishiko is that the tracker works without any surcharges for roaming in 170 countries (including all of Europe, Russia and the USA).

How? Thanks to the special conditions that Mishiko has concluded with by T-Mobile. The European operator agreed to meet Mishiko halfway for a reason. The device does not use a replaceable SIM card, which you could use in your smartphone, but a SIM chip. It is soldered directly into the board and looks like this compared to a SIM card:


It is clear that hardly anyone will solder the SIM chip and try to use it somewhere else.

The second limitation is that in the Mishiko tariff, voice calls are basically disabled, and own platform and controls traffic consumption, and “collapses” the entire Internet for Mishiko only with our server. This means that you won’t be able to use a SIM card for third-party resources.

By a similar principle, unlimited and free 3G mobile Internet is used in the Amazon Kindle.

Okay, Mishiko is clear. Let's return to tariffs.
If before the trip I still decided to buy a local (or global) SIM card. What's next?

TL;DR: popular rates for traveling around Europe in one table:


Before studying all the data we found, we would like to warn that as of June 15, 2017, roaming is planned to be abolished in the EU. Generally throughout Europe. The European Union also announced a consistent reduction in payment for mobile Internet traffic within the EU from 7.7 euros per gigabyte in 2017 to 2.5 euros per gigabyte in 2022. This will greatly simplify life for tourists who will use local SIM cards in European countries. cards.

Already today in Europe there are several mobile operators that operate one by one tariff plan for many European countries. These include Orange with Go Europe tariff, Vodafone(with Smart Passport and Internet Passport tariffs), as well as Globalsim. You can buy Orange and Vodafone cards from intermediaries (they deliver the SIM card by mail, so if you need it tomorrow, it’s better to buy it “on the spot”). Similarly, you can purchase Globalsim from intermediaries - by mail or in travel agency offices.

If you would like to be able Wi-Fi distribution for other devices, it is worth studying the tariffs in more detail: for example, with Vodafone this is only possible with the more expensive Internet Passport tariff for 6 euros per day (versus 3 euros per day on Smart tariff Passport).

Let’s look at the conditions for tourist SIM cards in a little more detail.

Orange SIM card with Go Europe tariff.

This SIM card works in 36 European countries using one tariff plan:
  • 1€ for every 100 MB of internet traffic
  • 1€ for every 60 minutes of incoming and outgoing calls within the host country
  • It is allowed to use the tariff for distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi
Here is a list of countries for which you can safely buy this SIM card:

For certain countries, for example Spain, a SIM card Orange works with its own tariff. For the Spaniards, this is Mundo: a package of 500MB (6€), 1GB (9€) or 2GB (15€) of mobile Internet for 30 days. The cost of Internet without connected packages is 0.50 € per 10 MB of Internet traffic.

Vodafone Smart Passport SIM card

The Vodafone card offers a package of services starting from €3 per day:
  • 200 MB of traffic per day (if exceeded for every 100 MB - 2 €)
  • 30 free incoming and outgoing calls to local numbers + in the Russian Federation and several other European countries
There are also cheaper offers in some European countries: for example, in Hungary there is Magyar Telekom (T-mobile) and Telenor, which offers monthly tariffs for even lower prices.

Buying a local SIM card will not be difficult: there are offices of mobile operators in major cities of Hungary (Budapest, Heviz, Sárvár, Bükfürdó, Hajdúszoboszló). To purchase, you must have a foreign passport (to enter into an agreement) and money (about 2500 forints - 8 €). On site, the operator will help you activate the SIM card, connect required package services and will tell you everything you need.


In the UK today there are 4 mobile operators:
  • EE (Everything Everywhere);
  • Vodafone;
  • Three


SIM cards can be bought directly in the UK, on ​​official websites, as well as in shops, supermarkets, post offices, salons mobile operators etc. You can top up your SIM card using a credit or debit bank card.

What do you do when traveling around Europe? Do you buy a local SIM card “on the spot”? Are you ordering from Russia? Or are you using global sim?

Despite the uniform principles and topology of building communication networks, in different countries Around the world, access to infrastructure and the Internet itself costs differently. Let's look at the general patterns of the global broadband market and the principles of price formation in individual markets.

Analysts of the Internet project "Be Mobile" conducted a detailed study of tariffs for wired Internet in the 100 largest countries in the world by GDP (based on data from the IMF, UN and World Bank). The prices of two leading operators in the segment were taken as a basis wired internet in each of the countries. For example, from Russia the prices of Rostelecom and ER-Telecom were used, in Spain - Telefonica/Orange, and in Germany - T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) and Vodafon. The cost was converted from national currencies to US dollars at the exchange rate as of July 27, 2016.

Tariffs taken into account at different speeds access without switching on additional options and services in the categories 10, 20, 50, 100 Mbit/s.

As part of the study, it was obtained average price unlimited tariff at an access speed of 10 Mbit/s in the amount of $37.5 (2465.25 rubles).

The leader in the cost of 10 megabit Internet was Ethiopia - almost $198 (12,997 rubles) per month, but Ukraine turned out to be the cheapest - $3.44 (226 rubles) per month. By the way, prices for home Internet in Russia they turned out to be slightly more expensive than Ukrainian ones. Our country took second place in terms of cheapness of 10 Mbit/s wired Internet. The subscription fee for the service averages 365 rubles ($5.55).

List of the 100 largest countries in the world by the high cost of wired Internet 10 Mbit/s (by official rate US dollar as of July 27, 2016, for Russia - 65.74 rubles per $1):


Countries with the most expensive Internet

In addition to Ethiopia, the top five countries with the most expensive Internet included Turkmenistan ($169), Angola ($166), Myanmar ($150), Uzbekistan ($144), Tanzania ($134) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo ($133). In all of these countries, the subscription fee for using 10 Mbit/s wired Internet exceeds $100 per month.

Iran ($88), UAE ($87) and Qatar ($73) also found very high tariffs for home Internet among large countries in terms of GDP.

Among developed countries, the highest tariffs are recorded in New Zealand - 15th place ($61).

Countries with expensive Internet

This group includes such industrialized countries as Australia - 21st place ($54), the USA - 22nd place ($51.21) and Switzerland - 23rd place ($50.63). However, their neighbors are Oman, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt and Bangladesh.

Countries with world average internet prices

Wired Internet costs almost twice as much in Western and Central Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

For example, a subscription fee for 10 megabit Internet in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Norway, Japan, Malaysia, Algeria, Spain, Chile, Argentina will cost from $36 to $40.

In France, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Great Britain, Portugal and Germany unlimited Internet costs from $26 to $30 per month.

Countries with prices below average

There are many emerging economies in this group. Among them, Brazil is in 69th place ($23.5). Also at the bottom of the table are South Korea - 73rd place ($23.85), Israel - 78th place ($20.9), Finland - 79th place ($20.76), Turkey - 81st place ($18.78), India - 83 place ($18.5) and China - 85th place ($16.39).

Of the surprises, it is worth noting Austria, which, when high level life can boast quite accessible internet in terms of price - 74th place ($23.6). The reason for this state of affairs is extremely high competition in the market. By the way, it is for this reason that in Austria there is very mediocre Wi-Fi coverage networks.

Countries with cheap Internet

The countries of Eastern Europe and the former USSR are among the countries with the cheapest Internet: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary - about $15 per month, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Lithuania - about $11.5 per month.

In addition to Ukraine and Russia, the top five countries with the cheapest wired Internet also include Romania - 98th place ($7.95), Bulgaria - 97th place ($8.75) and Belarus - 96th place ($9.65).

Analysis

Overall, the study shows that the cost of the Internet is greatly influenced by general level income of the population, as well as penetration personal computers in households. The richer the country, the higher the price. A striking example of this is New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Switzerland, Qatar, located at the top of the ranking. Here people are simply willing to pay more.

At the same time, in Ethiopia, Angola, Myanmar, Tanzania, the Republic of Congo, and Ivory Coast, people simply do not have computers to use the Internet.

In Russia and countries that ranked after the 1980s, on the contrary, income levels are lower than in developed countries. At the same time, the number of working computers among the population, if inferior to developed countries, is not by much. Accordingly, there is a demand for telecom services. But in Egypt, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia, the number of computers in households is lower, and accordingly, due to low demand for services, the price is higher.

In addition, competition has a serious impact on cost. The more providers work in a particular market, the lower the price. For example, there are a limited number of operators in Ethiopia, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Qatar, Iran, Iraq and the UAE. Accordingly, connecting and using the Internet here is much more expensive.

Another factor that greatly influences the price is the infrastructure and its availability to users. The more modern communication lines there are in a country, the lower the tariffs. In the same Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, more than 50% of the population is connected to the Internet using ADSL. As you know, the maintenance and maintenance of copper communication lines is many times more expensive than optics. This also explains the high cost of the Internet in Southern and Central Africa and Central Asia. In these countries, the signal travels primarily via satellite, which is very expensive, unlike terrestrial communication lines.

At the same time, in North Africa, where network infrastructure is concentrated, Internet prices are low. A striking example of this is Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Türkiye.

Another example is China, South Korea, Thailand, Finland, as well as a number of other Eastern European and Baltic countries, where the percentage of fiber connections exceeds 90%; Internet tariffs here are also not very high.

Unit price of the fastest Internet

Further, analysts of the Internet project "Be Mobile" analyzed tariffs for wired Internet with more high speed. For an objective assessment, indicators of the specific cost of 1 Mbit per second were calculated for the highest speed tariffs of operators occupying first place in the local market. Offers with a speed of 100 Mbit/s, or those closest to them from the range of 70-150 Mbit/s, were chosen as a basis.

Specific cost of wired Internet 1 Mbit/s in the 30 largest countries in the world by GDP in US dollars:

The leader here is Russia (Rostelecom). The specific price for speed of 1 Mbit/s was 7 cents. In other countries the figure is significantly higher. In Poland (Orange provider) - $0.177 per 1 Mbit/s speed, in Japan (NTT East provider) - $0.182, in Taiwan (Chunghwa) - $0.198, in China (China Telecom) - $0.246, in South Korea (Korea Telecom) - $0.258.

As for the USA, the country took 14th place - $0.498 (Comcast provider). Germany (provider T-Mobile) is in 13th place - $0.479. Great Britain (BT provider) is 22nd with a result of $0.82.

At the bottom of the ranking are Mexico, Indonesia, Iran, the UAE, and Nigeria. This is largely due to the fact that in these countries slow connections via ADSL or satellite channels. Wherein maximum speed Wired Internet does not exceed 20 Mbit/s.
