Most modern pensioners do not require unlimited internet and high-speed connection. They are interested in SMS, the ability to talk to subscribers of home and other regions, and sometimes to call abroad. That is to be always in touch and not pay big money. Of course, some pensioners will overtake young people by the number of friends in social networks and activity on the Internet, but standard tariffs will do for them. And we will consider special options aimed at older people.
The rating includes 5 tariffs that allow you to control communication costs. The basic package includes only cheap calls and SMS, and the rest of the pensioner can connect on their own. The prices are named Moscow, in other cities the cost is slightly lower. We focused on those mobile tariffs that do not ask for a monthly fee.

5 MTS "Red Energy"
The ability to optimize the cost of calls and SMS
Rating (2019): 4.5
Opens the rating of the best mobile tariffs "Red Energy", which attracted us with a fixed cost for outgoing calls. MTS provides an opportunity to optimize the price of communication in accordance with personal characteristics. A minute of conversation costs 1.60 rubles in Moscow, just a ruble in other regions. The price in Russia is 5 rubles to the numbers of third-party operators, 3 rubles for calls to the MTS. However, the Internet is very expensive: from 9.90 rubles. for every megabyte. Of the interesting additional options, we identified unlimited calls in our region and a big discount on communication in travels in Russia. You can add packages of SMS and MMS. Otherwise the message costs 1.90 rubles.
MTS "Red Energy" is recommended for pensioners who communicate and send SMS in the home region and do not use the Internet. However, the transition to the tariff will cost 150 rubles, they will go to the account. If you still need access to the network, it is better to connect the "Bit" option and get 74 MB of Internet per day. In the contract, the company prescribed a strange condition: when the client does not make calls for 90 days, a subscription fee of 3 rubles begins. As soon as the person returns to using the phone, the conditions will switch to standard ones.
4 Tele-2 "Classic"
Low prices for calls in Russia
Rating (2019): 4.6
One of the best mobile tariffs for pensioners, we considered the Tele-2 "Classic". The undoubted advantage is free incoming calls, the talk time is unlimited. The price of outgoing calls within your region is 2 rubles per minute, in Russia - 3 rubles. Calls to numbers of other mobile operators will cost 9 rubles per minute. Attract cheap SMS: 1.50 rubles per message in the home region, 2.50 rubles throughout the country. It is possible to connect 1 GB of traffic for 5 rubles. Determining which tariff to choose, it is important to remember about automatic paid services. For example, the option "Who called" costs 5 kopecks daily. All services are disabled in your account.
If the pensioner often calls Tele2 subscribers, you can reduce the cost of calls with the "Unlimited" option. Daily will begin to be written off 5 rubles, the communication time is unlimited. There is a unique opportunity to specify a third-party operator and reduce the cost per minute. The main thing - do not forget to turn off the automatic options, when switching to the tariff, they are not warned about them. The Internet is there, but the connection is not very stable, especially outside the home region.
3 Megaphone "Warm welcome"
To communicate with subscribers of this operator
Rating (2019): 4.6
Megaphone "Warm welcome" was created specifically for pensioners who support communication with subscribers of this operator. It is also great for calls abroad, offering the most favorable conditions. The cost of the first minute for outgoing calls to Megaphone is 3.50 rubles, the rest of the time - 50 kopecks. Communication with subscribers of other operators will cost 2.50 rubles per minute. Pleasantly pleased with the price of SMS - 1.90 rubles in its region, 3.90 rubles throughout Russia. It is possible to connect the Internet, 100 MB costs only 12 rubles.
Megaphone allows you to switch to the tariff subject to the purchase of a new SIM card. It can be purchased on the official website or in any store network. When you connect ask for 300 rubles, which will go to the account. The company provides favorable conditions for calls to mobile phones in neighboring countries: 5 rubles to Ukraine, 6 rubles. to Armenia, Turkmenistan, etc. However, it is important to remember that when the tariff is activated, the "Internet XS" and "SMS XXS" options are automatically activated. If they are not removed, in a week the account will be charged at 9.5 rubles daily.
2 Beeline "Per Second"
Best rate for short conversations
Rating (2019): 4.7
The second place among the most worthy was taken by Beeline "Per-Second", withdrawing 5 kopecks per second conversation. There is no monthly charge on the mobile tariff, incoming calls do not cost anything. However, the Internet is quite expensive (from 9.95 rubles), for accessing the network it is recommended to connect Beeline "Highway". SMS in the home region is free when using the package "My SMS", otherwise the message will cost 2.50 rubles. The undoubted advantage is cheap intercity: from 3.90 rubles (except Crimea and Sevastopol). In some regions, it is called "Second", the conditions are the same.
Having thought about which tariff to choose, it is important to take into account the cost of connection: 150 rubles, which go to the account. The Autoresponder service automatically appears: the user can record a voice message when the pensioner's phone is unavailable. However, billing starts from the first second, even if it was not possible to establish a connection. For long conversations, it is recommended to choose something else, and the "Second" from Beeline is great for short calls.

Minimum communication costs
Rating (2019): 4.8
Super MTS provides the ability to support communication within the network at minimal cost. There is no need to make a monthly payment. The first 20 minutes of calls to MTS phones in the home region are free, then 1.50 rubles per minute are charged.

For a minute they will withdraw 14 rubles.
The company gives several nice bonuses when connecting: the old numbers are saved, the tariff change is free of charge.

To access the Internet it is recommended to choose something else, because 1 MB of traffic costs 9.90 rubles.
