Yota, which, until recently developed its networks in Wi-Max format, has become the fifth federal operator. You can connect to Yota in most federal regions of our country. Let us dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of this operator.

What does iota offer new?

It must be said right away that the yota tariffs are radically different from the tariffs of the other cellular operators. If you want to connect a tariff for a mobile Internet, then you will be pleasantly surprised by full unlimited. On all tariffs, traffic is not charged. Difference is only speed.

Moreover, at the end of the money on the Yota balance, it does not block access to the Internet, and makes the minimum speed (up to 64 kbps / s).

If you choose a tariff for a smartphone, then Yota does not distinguish between traffic speed. On the smartphone, it always remains high. As for tariffs for tablets, then three options:

• 512 Kbps - 390 rubles per month
• 2.1 Mbps - 550 rubles per month
• Maximum speed (in some region with 4G it reaches 20 Mbps) - 650 rubles per month

Prices are represented for Moscow and the Moscow region. In the regions they are lower.

Perhaps, with your tariffs for Tablet computers Yota and loved all the "Internet-dependent" people. But, and tariffs for smartphones can cause admiration and envy of competitors.

As mentioned above, there are high-speed unlimited Internet on all tariffs. In addition, calls inside the Yota network are not charged. And if you wish, you can add free SMS for 50 rubles).

As for the differences in tariffs for smartphones, they consist in the number of free minutes to the rooms of other operators in Russia:

• 300 minutes - 140 rubles
• 500 minutes - 340 rubles
• 1000 minutes - 640 rubles
• 2000 minutes - 1040 rubles
• 3000 minutes - 1540 rubles

The cost of the selected package is added to the cost of the Internet (300 rubles) and unlimited SMS (if required).

It can be said that Yota provides its users with one tariff for smartphones, but which everyone can configure itself.

Also, the mobile operator Yota provides tariffs for home Internet (desktop PC, laptop, etc. devices). Tariffs differ only by speed:

• 512 Kbps - 400 rubles
• 640 kbps - 450 rubles
• 768 kbps - 500 rubles
• 896 kbps - 550 rubles
• 1 Mbps - 600 rubles

• 1.7 Mbps - 700 rubles
• 2.1 Mbps - 750 rubles
• 3.1 Mbps - 800 rubles

• Maximum speed - 900 rubles (action)

Prices are per month. But, you can also use this service:

• For 2 hours - 50 rubles (maximum speed)
• For a day - 150 rubles (maximum speed)

Important: The mobile operator Yota offers high-speed Internet 4G in more than 40 cities of Russia. But, on this, the distribution of access to LTE networks does not end and with the time the geography of the Yota coverage will only increase.

Guarantees Yota.

In addition to excellent prices and flexible tariffs, the mobile operator Yota offers non-community space throughout Russia. If you left in another region of our country, then the mobile service and the Internet will be charged as in your native region.

Unfortunately, this advantage is available only to the first thirty days of staying in the region different from the Yota connection site. After 30 days the operator will offer you another tariff. True, there is no data on the tariff yet.

Disadvantages of Yota.

Yota is a virtual operator. That is, such that uses the networks of another operator. In the case of Yota, this "other" operator is MegaFon. That is, this operator depends entirely on the "MegaFon" and the state of its networks.

Also, the disadvantages should be attributed to the impossibility of using a smartphone with a Yota SIM card as an access point for Wi-Fi network. Here you have unlimited internet. But, a little minimize this deficiency at the expense of the router and the payment of Internet Wi-Fi services for 2 or 24 hours.

And of course the main disadvantage of this cellular operator is a small coverage area. True, it increases every day. Can Yota already come to your city?

Cellular operator Yota: reviews

Evgeny. Use this operator for several months. I connected it for both smartphone and tablet. And when I will move to the house under construction, I also order a router with a Yota sim card. I really like the quality of the communication and the ability to track the number of remaining minutes to call to other operators. The only drawback is the possibility of increasing the velocity of the Internet only after the current tariff is over. Not very comfortable.

Igor. For the summer I'm leaving for the city and I live there. Naturally there is no wired internet there. Prior to that, I used the Megaphone, but I learned that they have a subsidiary of Yota which "covers" my country village. I took a sample, and now I do not part. Even a football look through a laptop. Thank you Yota!
