A new player appeared - Yota. For a long time, this corporation was known as a provider of wireless Internet access. In the spectrum of services of the new operator, all those services that are claimed today, that is, voice communication, SMS, as well as network access. The latter is characterized by uniminacy, and in absolutely real terms. If there is a restriction on traffic over the prepaid volume in the tarifications of other cellular operators, then YOTA does not use this approach at least now. What chances to entrenched on the Russian market has so young as Yota, mobile operator? What kind of prevailing reviews? What is the use of Yota services especially profitable for subscribers?
Access to the market
Actual entry to the market New mobile operator Yota carried out in August 2014. The issuance of SIM-cards under this brand began in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladimir, Tula and Far Eastern cities: Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Interestingly, the preliminary applications for obtaining SIM-cards could serve in advance through the mobile application. At the same time, Yota ("Mobile Operator") announced its new status, announced in April. Prior to that, for many years, this organization has been engaged mainly by providing wireless Internet access services. Activities in this direction still maintained by the company: it sells the corresponding type branded modems. Therefore, for the unmistakable distinction of the two main types of services provided by the organization (mobile Internet and cellular communication), we will call our article as the "Yota-Mobile Operator" in our article. In turn, if it comes only about the mobile Internet, we will call the company "Yota Provider".
The company's plans include the presence of a brand as a cellular service provider in all regions of Russia. which is identified by the company Yota-mobile operator, - iPad-, iPhone- and Android enthusiasts. That is, those people who are accustomed to enjoy note also that Yota can be considered enough to consider an independent player of the cellular market. The fact is that this organization is a subsidiary of MegaFon. At the same time, as some analysts defined by the other largest segment corporations ("MTS" and Beeline) Yota-mobile operator "Waving" can still be.
Main tariffs
The tariff policy of the new cellular supplier is quite young. For example, at the time of entering the market, the company gave the opportunity to use only one rate, which includes 300 minutes of calls, unlimited Internet and any number of SMS for 750 rubles per month. Those that offers a Yota mobile operator, tariffs today, mainly differ in the number of calls to phones. That is, there is a "basic" monthly payment of 300 rubles, it guarantees unlimited Internet. In turn, you can pay and get an unlimited number of SMS for use. The minimum surcharge for voice calls is 140 rubles (100 minutes), maximum - 990 (1200 minutes).
Restrictions
Note that the SIM card from the new mobile operator is only suitable for smartphones, tablets and cell phones. You cannot connect it to the PC, you can use the Yota provider modem to access the Internet.
Devices in which the SIM card is fully functional, which has released a Yota-mobile operator, 4pda-type. Also, using the mobile devices with the SIM card from Yota, you can not "distribute" the Internet in Wi-Fi mode. Some experts note that if the supplier detects violations to use the SIM card, the speed of access to the network can be reduced to 32 kbps. The truth is not quite understandable, as it will be done in practice.
At the same time, the company will introduce a similar limitation if it is found that the owner of the mobile device uses, for example, "torrents", or large files are loaded. Unlike determining the fact of distribution of Wi-Fi, problems with the fixation of queries for trackers yota should not be. If no violations from the user will not be, then access to a network with a decent speed through standard 4G and seemingly unlimited.
Connection
How to connect the Yota mobile operator to services? There are two main ways. The SIM card from this communication service provider can be ordered through the website of the company or use the mobile application. An ordered SIM card will brought a courier. You can also pick it up in the issuance points whose address will be displayed in the appendix. If customers have difficulty using services, the Yota-mobile setup operator will send through its support service, they are necessary for the correct operation of SIM-cards. In this case, the emphasis is placed on the interaction of the relevant structure of the provider with customers through online channels, for example through chat.
Reviews
Yota-operator of mobile communications Experts and users have very different. They can be classified in three categories. The first characterize the quality of communication services. The second is the pricing policy of the company. Third - market prospects of the new operator. Regarding the reviews of the first type, we can say that in general they are positive. And this is not surprising, since Yota will largely use the MegaFon infrastructure, which is probably not inferior on the technologicality of the one that other operators apply. Regarding the views of users' opinions and experts are different.
Product class premium
Yota-mobile operator tariffs offers mainly for customers in a premium segment. Since with a simple comparison of them even with those that there is a "MegaFon", their benefit is not so obvious. Moreover, in the use of the Internet there are marked limitations. There is another point of view on which tariffs from Yota are quite fair. The fact is that it is truly unlimited internet at 300 rubles a month (if you do not violate its use rules, it has no restrictions on traffic, speed, etc.) can not be far from each operator.
Many users, by the way, impresses the sales channel, which organized the Yota mobile operator. Customer reviews say that courier delivery is convenient. You can order a SIM card anywhere in the city, home, to work.
Coating
How effective is the new operator ready to maintain subscribers in the aspect of the coverage zone? It all depends primarily from the applied communication technology. Of course, the Yota mobile operator coating according to 2G and 3G standards provides almost everywhere if we talk about the cities of the company's presence.
Another thing is, if we are talking about the latest 4G-based technologies. In this case, the one that guarantees the Yota mobile operator, the coverage area is distributed, even if we talk about Moscow, not always evenly. At the same time, to meet the basic needs of using the Internet, sufficient resources, which includes the 3G standard. Taking into account the fact that Yota customers undesirable to load large files, the practical need for speeds of more than 3-4 Mbps, which gives 3G, may be low.
Marketing
Actually, about responses that characterize the market prospects of the new provider of cellular service provider, one can talk separately. It is believed that Yota, in particular, is not fully effective in the aspect of the use of sales channels. As we have already said, the SIM-card distribution is carried out by ordering through the site and delivery by the courier or using items. This is not the most optimal path that the Yota-mobile operator elected, the reviews of the staff of some analytical agencies are withstanding in such a tone. The fact is that to conquer a significant share of the company's market, you need to conquer the target group of customers at 10 million people, for this we need larger distribution channels, such as, for example, retail brands.
Innovation in sales
There are also experts that believe that the selected Yota resources for the distribution of SIM cards are essentially revolutionary in its kind. The fact is that when using standard channels, in particular retail brands networks, the cost of attracting the client is about 500-700 rubles, and this is usually minimum. If you use the courier services, the indicator is reduced by about twice. Another thing is that distribution dynamics in this case below. However, it is quite possible to assume that Yota will use innovative distribution methods only at the very beginning of the business, if necessary, cycling and standard, albeit more expensive channels.
Internet will be unlimited?
It is believed that over time Yota announced its willingness to provide Internet access services in a completely unlimited format, will switch to the model in which limitations may be provided. Now this cellular operator is a fairly small number of users (if compared with the number of subscribers of the same "MegaFon" and other large three companies) can provide unlimited access to online without any nuances (except for restrictions on the "torrents") . There are experts who believe that there is no objective prerequisites. At least for the reason that the average Russian user of the mobile Internet loads files and data by about 3-5 gigabytes per month.
I don't need to the user
This volume is generally guaranteed in the "standard" tariff plans for other cellular operators, but within the framework of prepaid traffic and for the same 300 rubles per month. Experts are probably what, first, Yota has no special reason to expect that in the segment where the company will provide services, the average monthly traffic will significantly increase relative to 3-5 gigabytes (especially taking into account restrictions on "torrent" and files Large size), and secondly, technology is still developing. And therefore, the potential load on the server may not be so critical to move away from the policy of providing unlimited Internet access policies.
Market segments
Above we said that Yota is likely to concentrate on premium clients. That is, those that may be ready to overpay for additional communication services subject to use of unlimited Internet. At the same time, there is a version that the spectrum of customers of the new operator will also be replenished by those who are accustomed to the average at the cost of tariffs. This can be facilitated, for example, the profitable roaming policy of Yota.
All calls between subscribers of this operator are now free throughout Russia. In addition, according to some experts, unlimited SMS for 50 rubles - quite a competitive price, even on the background of "standard" tariffs from other operators. SMS has not yet come out of fashion, despite the fact that online messengers are becoming increasingly popular. True, experts make it difficult to say, analyzing the prospects for the business model, which the Yota-mobile operator offers, when the company will win new target groups of customers.
Yota - competitor "MegaFon"?
Is it possible to consider Yota direct competitor "MegaFon", despite the fact that it is a subsidiary of one of the leading Russian operators? Experts believe that it is not. There are completely radical versions on this. For one of them, MegaFon in principle is not interested in the success of the new business implemented by Yota. Mobile operator (Reviews of some analysts, at least contain such assumptions) appeared on the market not in order to select a part of the holding clients, the part of which is. Most likely, experts believe, this is due to the desire of the management of the innovation company to be mastered in fundamentally new niches for the Russian cellular market.
There is a version that Yota was forced to develop unusual SIM card distribution channels to a certain extent because MegaFon did not provide a resource in the form of his own dealer network.
Yota and trading networks
It is also an opinion that this possibility of a cellular operator can use in the future. But so far, as evidenced by experts regarding the activities that the Yota mobile operator, reviews and reviews on thematic portals are carried out, the company is trying to negotiate with the dealers of the Euroset level and "connected". Therefore, if even the holding and will not give good to engage in the dealer network, Yota will have a spare resource. Although the resource with which the Yota mobile operator has, connect sufficiently quickly, and the potential client is not at all necessary to look for other options, such as a trip to the retail brand office.
Yota. (Russian. Yota or Yota) - brand companies included in WiMax Holding Ltd. (in the Russian Federation - LLC "Scartel" (eng. Scartel)). Yota works in the Russian Federation, Belarus and Nicaragua.

For a long time, this company was known as a wireless Internet access provider. In the range of services of the newest operator, all those services that are needed are now, that is, voice communication, SMS, as well as network access. The extreme is characterized by uniminacy, while in fully present terms. If in the tarifications of other cellular operators, the traffic restriction is applied in excess of prepaid size, then the yoth does not use such an approach, at the last extent at the moment. What chances to entrenched in the Russian market has so young as iota, mobile operator? What kind of prevailing reviews? What is the use of iota services especially profitable for subscribers?
Access to the market
Actual entry to the market The newest mobile operator Yota fulfilled in August of the year.
The issuance of SIM cards under this brand began in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladimir, Tula and Far Eastern cities: Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. It is curious that the preparatory applications for obtaining SIM cards of users could submit in advance through the mobile application. At the same time, the owned newest status company Yota ("Mobile operator") announced in April. Prior to that, during almost all years, this organization has been implemented mainly by providing wireless access to the Internet. The activity in this direction is still maintained by the company: it implements the corresponding type of branded modems.
Therefore, for the errorless distinction of the 2 main types of services provided by the organization (Mobile Internet and cellular communication), we will be called a company in our article as the "Yota-Mobile Operator". In turn, if we were talking only about a mobile internet, we will call the company "Yota Provider."
The company's plans to ensure the presence of a brand as a cellular service provider in all regions of the Russian Federation. The motivated audience, which was identified by the company Yota-Mobile operator, - iPad-, iPhone- and Android enthusiasts.
That is, those people who are accustomed to take advantage of a mobile Internet. We also note that Yota company can be quite conventionally considered an independent player of the cellular market. The fact is that this organization is a subsidiary of MegaFon. Together with how certain analysts consider, a certain market share among other large sector companies (MTS and Beeline) Yota-mobile operator "Waving" can still.
Main tariffs
The tariff policy of the newest service provider is quite young. For example, at the time of entering the market, the company gave the opportunity to consume only one plan, including minutes of calls, anliant Internet and at least some SMS per month.
Those that gives the Yota-mobile operator, tariffs are now basically different from the number of calls to phones. That is, there is a "basic" monthly payment in rubles, it guarantees an alimitarian Internet. In turn, you can pay 50 rubles and get into use an unlimited amount of SMS. Small surcharge for voice calls - rubles (minutes), the greatest - (minutes).
Restrictions
Note that the SIM card from the newest mobile operator approaches only for phones, tablets and cell phones.
You cannot connect it to the PC, you can use the Yota-provider modem to exit.
Devices in which there will be a functional SIM card, which the Yota mobile operator released, 4pda-type released. Also using mobile gadgets with a SIM card from Yota cannot be "distributed" the Internet in Wi-Fi mode. Some specialists note that if the supplier will see violations in using the SIM card, the speed of access to the network can be reduced to 32 kbps. The truth is not completely clear how it will be done in practice.
At the same time, the company will introduce a similar restriction, if it is found that the owner of the mobile device uses file sharing networks, for example, "torrents", or the huge files are loaded.
Unlike determining the fact of distribution of Wi-Fi, problems with the fixation of queries for trackers at Yota not necessarily. If no violations of the user will not be, it is guaranteed access to a network with a solid speed through the 4G standard and more than unlimited.
Connection
How to connect the Yota mobile operator to connect? There are two main methods.
The SIM card from this communication service provider can be ordered through the company's website or use the mobile application. An ordered SIM card will brought a courier. You can also pick it up in PT issuing whose address will be displayed in the application. If customers have difficulty using services, the Yota mobile operator will send an option through its support service, they are needed for the correct operation of SIM-cards. At the same time, the emphasis is placed on the assistance of the appropriate structure of the provider with clients specifically through online channels, for example through chat.
Reviews
Yota mobile operator Reviews of professionals and users has very different.
They can be classified in three categories. The 1st characterize the quality of communication services. 2nd - Price Policy Company. Third - market prospects of the new operator. Regarding the reviews of the first type, it is possible to announce that in general they are positive. And it is logical, since the company Yota largely uses the MegaFon infrastructure, which may not be inferior on the technologicality of the fact that the remaining operators use. Regarding the views of the submission of users and professionals are different.
Product class premium
Yota-mobile operator tariffs gives basically for customers in the premium sector. Since with a simple comparison of them even with those that there is a "megaphone", their benefit is not so obvious.
Thus, there are marked restrictions in the use of Internet. There is also a different point of view on which the tariffs from iota are fully fair. The fact is that an alimitative Internet is really entitled to pay for the subscription into rubles per month (if not to violate the rules of its use, it has no restrictions on traffic, speed, etc.) can not be distant from each operator.
Many users, by the way, impresses the sales channel, which organized a Yota mobile operator. Customer reviews are praying that courier delivery is comfortable.
You can order a SIM card at all point of the town, home, to work.
Coating
How well the newest operator is ready to serve customers in the nuance of the coverage area? It all depends, before that, on the applied communication technology. Naturally, Yota-mobile operator coating on the standards of 2G and 3G provides actually everywhere, if we talk about the towns of the company's presence.
Another thing, if we are talking about the latest development based on 4G. In this case, the one guarantees the Yota mobile operator, the coverage area is distributed, even if talking about Moscow, not constantly moderately. At the same time, to apply the main needs of the Internet for the Internet of fairly resources, which includes the standard 3G.
Taking into account the fact that IOT customers do not need to download huge files, the practical need at speeds is the most Mbps, which gives 3G, may be low.
Marketing
Actually, the reviews that characterize the market prospects of the newest provider of cellular service provider can be talked separately. There is a worldview that Yota, in particular, is not fully effective in the nuance of the use of sales channels.
As we have pronounced, the distribution of SIM cards is carried out by means of the order through the website and delivery by the courier or with the introduction of PT issuing. This is not the best way that chose a Yota mobile operator, the reviews of servants of certain analytical agencies are withstanding in such a tone. The fact is that to conquer a significant car market, the company needs to capture a motivated group of clients of 10 million people, for this you need the largest distribution channels, such as, for example, retail brands.
Innovation in sales
There are also specialists who believe that the chosen yot resources for the spread of SIM cards, by the essence of the case, revolutionary in their own way.
The fact is that when using ordinary channels, in particular networks of retail brands, the cost of recruitment of the client is about rubles, and this is usually minimum. If the courier services are used, the indicator drops approximately twice. Another thing is that distribution dynamics in this case below. But it is completely permissible to imagine that the iota will use innovative ways of distribution only at the very beginning of the business, if necessary, cycling and ordinary, albeit the most expensive channels.
Internet will be unlimited?
There is a worldview that over time, the company of Yota, announced its willingness to provide services for access to the Internet in quite anlicimit format, will switch to the model in which restrictions may be provided.
At the moment, this mobile operator by virtue of a rather small number of users (if you associate with the number of clients of the same "MegaFon" and other "Big Troika") can provide anliant access to online without any aspects (except for limitations for downloading torrents ").
There are specialists who believe that there is no objective prerequisites. At least for the reason that the average Russian user of the mobile Internet loads files and data approximately on GB per month.
I don't need to the user
This size is generally guaranteed in the "standard" tariff plans of the remaining cellular operators, but within the framework of prepaid traffic and for the same rubles per month.
Perhaps experts believe that, in-1, iota has no special reason to wait for the fact that the company will provide services, the average monthly size of the traffic will significantly increase relative to GB (especially taking into account restrictions on "torrent" and the huge files Size), and in 2nd, technology is still developing. And therefore, possible overload on the server may not be so critical to move away from the policy of providing an alimit access to the Internet.
Market segments
Above we uttered that Yota may be concentrated on premium clients.
That is, those that may be ready to overpay for additional communication services provided by an alimitative Internet. At the same time, there is a editors that the range of clients of the newest operator will also be replenished by those who are accustomed to the average at the cost of tariffs. This can assist, for example, a successful roaming policy of Yota.
All calls between customers of this operator are currently free throughout the Russian Federation. In addition, as certain specialists consider, anliand SMS for 50 rubles - a fully competitive price rate, even against the background of "standard" tariffs from other operators. SMS has not yet come out of fashion, despite the fact that online messengers get all the vast popularity.
True, experts find it difficult to announce, analyzing the prospects for the business model that the Yota mobile operator gives, when specifically the company will win the newest motivated groups of customers.
Yota - MegaFon's opponent?
Can I be considered a direct rival "MegaFon", despite the fact that it is the subsidiary of the 1st of the leading Russian operators? Experts believe that it is not. There are completely design versions on this. According to one of them, MegaFon in principle is not interested in the success of the newest business implemented by Yota.
The mobile operator (reviews of certain analysts, by the latest extent, contain such assumptions) originally originated in the market, to select a part of the holding clients, which is part of which is. Most likely, experts are considered, it is connected with the desire of the management of the innovation company to be mastered in the fundamentally newest niche for the Russian cell market.
There is a editors that Yota was obliged to develop extraordinary distribution channels of SIM cards to a certain extent, therefore, that MegaFon did not provide a resource in the form of its dealer network.
Yota and trading networks
There is also a worldview that this feature of the cellular operator can use in the future.
But so far, as evidenced by professionals that are left by the activities that the Yota-mobile operator, reviews and reviews on thematic portals are carried out, the company tries to negotiate with the Euroset level dealers and "connected". Therefore, if even the holding and will not give good to the involvement of the dealer network, the iota will seem a spare resource. Although the resource with which the Yota mobile operator owns is connected to connect sufficiently quickly, and the possible client does not necessarily find other options, like, for example, going to the retail brand office.
Yota Mobile communications appeared in Russia in 2014. This is a young mobile operator that provides users with not only a cellular network, but also unlimited Internet. It is worth talking about how the company developed, which it has advantages and features to other cellular firms.
The history of the development of Yota
Start standing with what a yot is, and how the company appeared. The company entered the Russian market in 2014 in August. The first sims began to be issued in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Later, the SIM card became available in Tula, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok and Vladimir. Even before issuing a card, users could pre-order by downloading the mobile application. The status of a mobile operator firm voiced in April 2014. At first, the company was founded in order to provide customers with access to wireless Internet. And the iota operator continues to develop, it also gives subscribers the opportunity to use the network. Now it is worth talking about the company as a mobile operator.
The provider's plans include providing an affordable mobile communications for subscribers throughout the country. In addition, users have access to the network mobile from Yota. The work is aimed at users of iPhones and Androids, this is the audience that actively uses the Internet access. It is impossible to consider this company independent, as it is a subsidiary of MegaFon. But analysts believe that the cellular connection of Yota is able to become a competitor to such firms as MTS and Beeline. On the official website, clients are provided with a coating map so that they can see if there is a connection in the region of their stay.
What's new offers customers a company
Above it was already talking about what kind of iota is, and what services is provided by the firm. Now you can learn more, which new items offer a company to customers. This operator differs from other cellular operators by providing customers with access to the network on an unlimited basis on computers and tablets. Unlimited Internet There are also other cellular companies, but it is Yota that does not limit users in the connection speed. At the same time, the subscriber can independently select a suitable speed.
If the client uses the output to the tablet, the operator provides a connection at maximum speed, there will be no traffic restrictions. Speaking about the computer, here the speed can be adjusted by the user. But the higher the speed mode, the more you have to make a subscription fee.
In addition to unlimited Internet, subscribers can use communication services anywhere in the country without roaming. Calls within the network will be free by default, and the remaining calls are performed in the conditions of the selected tariff. Although the company Yota offers a single tariff, users can customize it on their own requirements. To do this, the application is installed on the phone, or is registered on the official website. In the Personal Account, the number of minutes for the call, the SMS package, and additional services are also connected.
- note
- If the SIM card works in roaming for more than 30 days, the tariff plan will automatically change to the "regional". Incoming calls will remain free.
Main Benefits of Yota Company
Cellular iota refers to new operators, but the company has already managed to show its advantages. The company has a quality service quality, as well as acceptable prices for communications and the Internet. The provider has several advantages over other cellular operators:

- Recently, ioton was released on sale, this smartphone is popular with the company's clients.
Yota customers appreciate the operator for high-quality communication and permanent access to the Internet. Rates for voice calls and the Internet here is more profitable than from other operators.
Features of Tariffs from Cell Company Yota
The communication rate from iota is invited to customers in one embodiment, but the user can configure it independently under its requirements. On the official website, after registration and authorization, the subscriber may select a suitable amount of SMS, the speed of the Internet and free minutes for calls. This option helps to optimize communication costs. If the package limit is exhausted, the client uses SIM card for such a billing:
- outgoing calls are 1.9 rubles per minute;
- messages will also cost 1.9 rubles per piece;
- internet speed drops to 64 kbps, but access is not turned off.
The subscriber may additionally connect such services:
- unlimited SMS, the price of them is 50 rubles;
- 100 minutes of outgoing calls, the price will be 150 rubles;
- an additional 5 GB of traffic of the Internet, the price will be 100 rubles.
Who will be interested in a cellular operator
The mobile communication Yota offers communication services and the Internet in almost all points of the country. Only residents of Crimea and Chukotka cannot use SIM cards. But the operator guarantees that these regions of Russia will soon be covered by the network. Services from Yota can be interesting to those users who:
- often travel beyond the borders of the "home" region;
- use the Internet access several times a day;
- many call on the phone or send SMS;
- they want to save on communications services.
Summing up We can say that the company Yota offers clients with high-speed Internet and high-quality communication. The subscriber can purchase a sim card on the tablet, a modem or a smartphone to use the Internet. Users are given the opportunity to independently select the Internet speed, the number of minutes for outgoing calls, as well as SMS. The higher the speed used, the higher the price to the tariff.

"Mobile slavery" canceled, let live freedom of choice! " - Approximately with such words tens of thousands of people ran into communication salons to go from one mobile operator to another. SIM cards shuffled between the "big triple" and everything remained in their places. The displeased megaphone went to MTS or Beeline, as was the discontented with the lanesses, they moved to the side of the megaphone. And everyone is happy. However, in this turmoil, many have not noticed the emergence of a new telecom operator - Yota, who began to distribute their "SIM cards" by everyone. One of them was me. As the transition process passed and what eventually came out, I'll tell you now.
Prehistory
It started still a couple of years ago, when I decided to take myself a mobile router that used on trips. The device has repeatedly been keen in places where mobile operators could not provide high-quality communication. Now this router is at me at the cottage and works around the clock, providing unlimited Internet all connected devices. Having learned at the beginning of the year that in Yota decided to enter the cellular market, I decided to learn more, which offers a new operator and what advantages I will receive if I decide to go to it.
It turned out that everything was very simple (which you can't tell about the main "players" of the market): You buy as many minutes as you need (from 100 per month) and additionally connect a package of unlimited SMS for symbolic 50 rubles. The Internet is already included in the price and also does not have any traffic restrictions. One fare Without a variety of options and incomprehensible write-offs - it was exactly what I need. "Jump" once a few months from the tariff on the tariff in search of a more profitable and convenient offer, and even connect some options, the description of which confuses even more than the name, simply tired. And how I infused the message of the view "You are approaching the threshold of shutdown, because They spent all traffic, now we are all shut off. Want to extend? Send SMS to the number, wait for confirmation, send a new ... ". Therefore, the two main factors "for" the transition was performed: a simple tariff, unlimited Internet.
Before connection
Naturally, since the laws are all accepted and leave their "precious" number I can myself, I began to find out what I need to go. I have already mentally presented that I am waiting for paper red tires, reconciliation of data and other service, so familiar to the Russian person. Our colleague, Sergey Soutagin, already wrote on the pages of Lifehaker about that, and his material was somewhat disturbed by me. Conduct conversations for 20 minutes at point of sales with consultants, often poorly understanding the subject of the conversation, I did not want any way. However, in fact, everything went much more easier.
To connect to Yota, it was necessary to download a special application for iOS, read about the benefits of connection and ... Wait for notifications about when you can pick up your new SIM card. And it was, perhaps, the most unpleasant moment in the entire history - "SIM card" had to wait about a month. Unfortunately, the exact date was not mentioned anywhere, so I had to be patient. Now, I think that the waiting time has declined, since I, apparently, was in the first wave on the distribution of cards.
And here, in the cherished day, a notification that I can pick up my SIM card was highlighted on my iPhone display. Open again the application has acquired new features, where I have been shown the points of issuing cards and it is even proposed to pave the route to the nearest, where I went.
It is worth saying that the SIM card could be ordered from courier delivery, but I decided to take neat and personally go, the benefits of issuing points were somewhat.
Connection / Transfer
Reaching the nearest point of issue and informing consultants about your choice, I was asked to call a certain confirmation code - a unique identifier that is displayed in the application after notification that the card can be taken. By calling it and giving a passport, I reported on the intention to leave my phone number. I was printing paper about the translation and gave packing with a SIM card, pre-warning that the transition takes 8 days and during this period the balance on the number should remain positive. By paying 500 rubles, which will go to the balance (no additional hundred rubles), I spread and drove home. The whole procedure took about five minutes.
Expectation
Throughout the period on my number, as described in the article Sergey, there were notifications about how I can start using a new SIM card (and on the same day my practically the former operator disabled me the Internet), but as long as she Lying on the table. And then you probably wondered: And what kind of format is the SIM card issued and will it be necessary to cut it? Nothing supernatural from you will not need. In the package there is one card, but depending on the phone model, you pull out the size you need - all parts are bonded between themselves, so if you need the usual nano-sim - pull out the smallest piece, if the micro is the middle and if the mini is the entire card Fully. The photo below shows that all three pieces are bonded between themselves, and you just need to "squeeze" a piece of the desired size.
Using
Eight days passed. Exactly at midnight of the ninth day, the old SIM card notified me that there was no network. It's time to insert a new "SIM" that I immediately did. Initially, even the only tariff that exists in Yota is not connected on the map, all the options you need control themselves (except for the Internet, it is immediately complete and you pay a fixed amount for it). In order to start using "SIM cards", you need to start the application and select the minute and SMS for you, if necessary. As soon as it is done - you can start using.
I really like this approach. Everyone you can manage to manage yourself, and for this you do not need to send various SMS to any number for connecting services, everything is done through the application. Routers from Yota are similar: you put some amount on the balance and connect the required speed, which can be changed during the period. That is, you pay not for traffic, namely for the speed of connection.
application
Now about one of the most important things about the application. There is nothing complicated in it, just necessary: \u200b\u200bthe start screen meets us with information about the remaining minutes and connected SMS, balance information and the connection conditions menu. At any time you can open it and learn about your expenses, and for this, again, you do not need to send anywhere anywhere or call - all information before your eyes. If you suddenly understand that you do not fit into the limit of minutes, they can be purchased directly in the application, as well as the balance - for these operations it is not necessary to look for the terminal or use the uncomfortable web versions of the personal accounts of the operators, everything is done in a pair of taps on the smartphone display. And since the Internet is unlimited, then it is quite difficult to stay without connection. Unfortunately, the application has not yet been optimized under iOS 8 - from here, apparently, the braking interface and departures when trying to specify a package of minutes. But, I think, this question will be resolved to the official release of the operating system from Apple.
In the same application, you can contact support by chat service, which is also convenient. One click on the button and you will be connected to a specialist who will help your question.
Sapport
And in this paragraph, they usually write about what a bad support service. Yes, I myself have repeatedly spoke and wrote about the like, without even taking into account the telecom operators. As a rule, customers are unhappy with the level of services provided, as well as the fact that according to their own inattention or misunderstanding of the subject, the problem is accused of all consultants and other service sector. To some extent right and those and others, on both sides there are incompetent or not wanting to help / explain people. And one of the most important problems is insufficient attention to the client and waiting time in solving his question / problems.
In the Support Yota, I addressed many times in different reasons, not only when changing the SIM card and operator. A couple of months ago I started constant problems with connecting the router to the LTE network, which I told the support service. My application was taken into processing, reported that the base station was overloaded, and promised not only to unload it, but also to deal with the "hardware" (perhaps it was a replacement of equipment or modernization of the existing one). Naturally, it was immediately clear that it would take a lot of time. However, after about four weeks, a letter came to the mail with the notification that problems were eliminated, along with the proposal to evaluate the quality of communication: "Everything became good" and "no, still works bad." It is clear that the phrase "Your feedback is very important for us" - for the most part, the standard excuse, but in this case I chose the first option, since the connection has become more stable a week before notification.
With the receipt of a new SIM card, I also encountered problems that mentioned just above: the application crashed every time I tried to choose suitable packages for myself minutes and SMS. When describing the problem in the chat, which is also available on the company's website, I was helped for 10 minutes, connecting those packages that interest me. I did not particularly count on this approach, but I expected to read something like "This OS is not yet supported by the application, so use the current version or wait for the optimization under the new one." Agree, not every first puts a beta version of the mobile operating system, so this answer I would perceive quite adequately. But, to my happiness, the problem was decided without a rollback to stable iOS 7. It should be noted that the operator's waiting time does not exceed the norm - from all my appeals to wait for a response for more than five minutes.
Connection quality
While I passed with a new SIM card only a week, so it's difficult to objectively assess the quality fully, but I constantly do measurements of speed and their indicators please me: the download speed several times was about 8 Mbps (of course it depends on your Locations), but below 3 Mbps has not yet descended. The indicator of 3 Mbps was maximum for my previous operator, so high-quality improvements are visible immediately. As you understand, we are talking of course about 3G networks, since at your disposal I have iPhone 5, which in our LTE frequencies does not work. But with LTE, I think there will be no problems, however, we will check only after entering the iPhone 6.
What about voice calls - then everything is quite understandable: Yota uses its tower to provide the Internet, and MegaFon Stations are for voice calls. Nevertheless, all three main operators are more or less than the same, so in this paragraph without revelations. In places where the megaphone does not catch, it will not work Yota.
Minuses
Of course, there are everywhere, even yota. There are two of them: when using a smartphone in modem mode, the speed is limited to 64 kbps, and when loading torrents - 32. And if the second restriction is quite reasonably, I don't really like the first. In those moments, when there is no Wi-Fi connection, an iPhone always came to the rescue, with which you could access the network without any problems. Now it is very uncomfortable due to low speed. I understand perfectly well why it is done, but I hope that the company will still revise their limitations and raise the speed at least twice.
What is the result?
And in the end, I got what I wanted: the lack of wisdom tariff plans, hundreds of options and permanent traffic restrictions. I don't lead a lot about the phone, so 100 minutes a month should be enough, and if the speed of the Internet does not continue to fall below 3 Mbps - it will be possible to finally use FaceTime for conversations. As - in no way, and the sound quality is much better than on a cellular network. Yes, and on long journeys in Russia - it will very help the lack of roaming within the country. In any case, Yota for me is first of all the Internet, moreover, unlimited, and that, while no one can offer any of the operators.
This review is prepared based on the use of a SIM card in St. Petersburg. Prices and communication quality may differ depending on the region.
