5 Megaphone "All World"


Average price: 109 rubles / day
Rating (2019): 4.3
Opens the top of the best Megafon "All World", offering 40 minutes of incoming calls for free and the ability to optimize surfing on the network. 109 rubles are debited from the account per day. Activation is free, but it is important to turn off the rate for returning home. The package of minutes is credited to 23.59 Moscow time, and not according to local time. The company warns that the tariff does not work on cruise ships and the territory of satellite networks. Price of SMS depends on the place of stay.
"The whole world" is recommended for short trips to exotic countries. During a long-term stay abroad, you can activate more options and reduce the cost of calls. For example, purchase packages of minutes and messages, get additional megabytes. The company left the balance check service free on command * 100 # call. However, for trips to popular tourist countries and the CIS there are more favorable rates.
4 Beeline "The most profitable roaming"


Average price: 200 rubles for the first 20 minutes
Rating (2019): 4.4
Beeline and its “Best Roaming” attracted our attention with several optimization options. For example, you can set a tariff for trips to the CIS countries, Europe, popular tourist destinations and the whole world. During the trip, the person automatically receives a package of minutes, megabytes or messages if he used the phone. 200 rubles will be charged from the account for calls, 20 rubles. for one SMS and 200 rubles. for 40 mb of traffic. The option does not need to be connected, it acts automatically, if the subscriber has not chosen another offer. However, the company’s website contains a large list of countries where the tariff does not work.
The main advantage of the offer is withdrawal of funds upon use. Free calls and messages do not burn, but remain on the account. However, traffic is not transferred the next day and disappears at 23.59 local time. The tariff is most beneficial in the CIS countries, but not for exotic destinations. Active users of the network are recommended to connect the package "Unlimited Internet in roaming" for 350 rubles per day.
3 MTS "Zero without borders"


Average price: 145 rubles / day
Rating (2019): 4.5
In the middle of the rating we put "Zero without Borders" from MTS, which offers free incoming calls abroad. Only the first 10 minutes of conversation are not paid. Outgoing calls are charged at the rate in the host country. The option is most beneficial for active travelers who make short calls and go online for a couple of minutes. The cost of surfing is calculated for each megabyte. Tariff is perfect for lovers to use instant messengers. The service applies to most countries, except South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan. As part of the tariff, the subscriber receives 200 minutes; if you exceed the limit, the cost of the call increases. The subscription fee is 145 rubles per day.
MTS offers a discount on the tariff for Bonus users. The cost of SMS depends on the host country, for example, in Turkey the price is 15 rubles. However, the subscription fee is always charged, even if the traveler does not use the phone. In the list of popular countries where the offer is valid, there is no Belarus. It is important to turn off the service on time. It does not work with the tariff "Foreign", which we will discuss below.
2 MTS Zabugorishte


Average price: 350 rubles / day
Rating (2019): 4.8
The second place among the best was taken by MTS Zabugorishte, intended for those who like to use the phone abroad. The company divided the countries into categories: popular, others and inaccessible. The first group consists of the overwhelming majority of states, including Abkhazia, Australia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Finland. Incoming calls to these countries are free, and the Internet is spent from the package, which is included in the tariff. Calls to other countries are counted from 11 minutes at a rate of 39 rubles per minute. The option connects and disconnects for free. It's nice that you can not worry about the withdrawal of funds upon returning home. The fee is charged only when the subscriber travels.
It is important to remember that "Foreign Land" does not change the cost of SMS, they are calculated in accordance with the tariff of the host country. The surfing speed in the network is not limited only to the first 500 mb, then it drops to 128 kb / s. But MTS gives you the opportunity to optimize the offer for yourself, add the "Smart" service and get 4 gigabytes of Internet. Fans to sit on social networks will approach "HYIP" with unlimited access to popular sites. However, the number of minutes of conversation is limited to 100, then the price increases several times. You can buy 50 SMS for 250 rubles, but this offer is cheaper for many competitors.
1 Tele2 "Talk without Borders"


Average price: 5 rubles per minute
Rating (2019): 4.8
The best tariff we considered was “Talk without Borders” from Tele2, which attracted us with a very low monthly fee (5 rubles). To activate, just dial a short command. Incoming calls are charged at the rate of 5 rubles / minute. The undoubted advantage is the effect of the option in most countries, except Iraq, Lebanon, Madagascar and several other rare destinations. It is important not to forget to turn off the tariff for returning to Russia. For active users, Internet Tele2 offers a megabyte for 10 rubles. Outgoing calls from Turkey and other popular destinations are pleased with the price: from 8 rubles. in a minute.
This tariff is recommended for subscribers who do not want to give up the phone, but do not use it very often. Lovers talk more suitable proposal Megaphone "All World". The cost of SMS is calculated in accordance with the international roaming tariff: 6 rubles for Turkey, 12 rubles. for Thailand, etc. "Talk without borders" can not be called unique, because cheap only incoming calls.But it is difficult to find a more profitable offer for rare calls and short network connections.
