"Planet Zero", "Beeline". Tariff Planet Zero: reviews

It's no secret that mobile communication services between countries are charged according to a different principle, in contrast to calls within the state. This is normal, because operators provide them not independently, by their own means, but in an arrangement with other service providers. Since all this is limited by the financial relationships between companies, the cost of calls for subscribers can vary. Therefore, if you try hard - you can find tariff plans that will be more profitable for calls abroad.

One of them is the "Planet Zero" tariff. "Beeline" is one of the most popular mobile operators in Russia, it provides it specifically for subscribers who are abroad, wishing to talk with their relatives and friends in Russia. About why this plan is so beneficial and what conditions it provides, read in our article.

General tariff conditions

The fact that the Plan Plan Zero (Beeline is its supplier) is beneficial for people who are abroad, the operator indicates on his official website and in any promotional materials that relate to the service. First of all, users can see a bright heading informing that those entering from Russia to the numbers serviced on this plan are absolutely free.

Of course, for communication within the country it looks wild; Do operators charge you for calling you? But if we talk about roaming, then this practice is absolutely normal. When the subscriber is in another state and he is called, most often he himself pays for the conversation. You can also recall the heyday of the mobile communication era, when you had to pay for an incoming call even in your region. Therefore, in fact, this feature of Planet Zero Beeline made it quite profitable for the subscriber. However, it is important to mention one limitation - it is about the first 20 minutes of conversation. Further conversations will be charged at a rate of 10 rubles per minute for the first category of countries. About what it means, we tell in more detail.

Cost of services for subscribers in "popular" countries

Given the different features of the agreements of mobile operators of other countries and Beeline, Planet Zero (how to connect the tariff, we will describe further) assumes an unequal cost of services in each individual country. Therefore, all regions of the world were divided into several groups.

The first includes Europe, CIS countries and some popular destinations for Russian subscribers, such as Egypt, China, the United States or Thailand. For them, there is a tariff - for one day of use you have to pay 60 rubles; In addition, the first 20 minutes of incoming conversation are free, after which the cost of each reaches 10 rubles. As for the outgoing call, it will cost the subscriber 20 rubles per minute. SMS messages from these countries to Russia will cost 7 rubles.

Communication prices for other countries

In addition to the above-mentioned group of countries, there is one more. It unites some of the remaining regions, which, obviously, are less popular for the domestic user of mobile communication services, so roaming "Beeline" ("Planet Zero") in them will cost more. In particular, the daily fee for the subscriber is equal to 100 rubles, and incoming calls from Russia after the 20th minute rise to 15 rubles. At the same time, the price of every minute of outgoing calls increases to 45 rubles. SMS messages are becoming less expensive - up to 9 rubles.

The list of countries that belong to this category is larger. This includes, for example, Israel, India, Japan, the countries of Africa and the Middle East. The higher price of services, obviously, is explained by the lower demand of subscribers in these areas. At the same time, Planet Zero tariff Beeline makes it more profitable than some other operators' service packages. So if you love (or are forced to) travel, this package deserves your attention. As you can see, it extends its effect even to exotic states.

Other countries

Finally, there is a group of such countries in which the service can not be connected, and the effect of the tariff does not imply the presence of any discounts. In view of what this happens, it is difficult to say, because "Beeline" does not give any explanation. Just for some ocean island and unrecognized states: Cuba, Jamaica, Tunisia and Bahrain, Kosovo and Abkhazia - "Planet Zero" ("Beeline" openly points to it on its website) does not extend its discount. Therefore, the subscriber fee is not withdrawn from the user, but the cost of incoming calls is 30 rubles per minute, outgoing calls - 60 rubles, and the price of one SMS reaches 9 rubles.

How to activate or deactivate a tariff

Suppose that you are going to the place where the plan provides a significant discount for communication services, due to what the tariff is quite profitable for you. The question arises: what should a subscriber "Beeline" do? "Planet Zero" - how to connect this package? What is required from the user first? Therefore, we answer these questions, opening the connection mechanism in parallel.

As always, the operator offers several ways to connect the service. This can happen through the "Personal Cabinet" or during a conversation with the consultant operator (processing an application with his help). However, we draw attention to the most simple and accessible command that can be executed from your mobile. To make it simple - dial * 110 * 331 # and press the call button. In response, you should receive a message stating that you are going to activate Planet Zero tariff. "Beeline" provides this action to make sure that you agree and are confident in what you are doing.

After that you need to wait a little while the service is processed to your number. This usually takes a few minutes. The system should update the information on how the calls, SMS and other tariffs will be charged.

Suppose, you have successfully traveled abroad, have solved all your questions and want to switch to a tariff plan that is familiar to you. The question arises: what to do with roaming, how to disconnect? "Planet Zero" ("Beeline") is deactivated in the same way: through the "Personal Cabinet", with the help of the operator or manually, using a short command: * 110 * 330 #. The notification that you have disabled the tariff plan will also be sent in the reply message to your number. There is another way - you can call the number that is provided specifically for refusing the service. It's easy to remember: 0674030. This is a free line for Beeline subscribers. Disable the service "Planet Zero" they can in a few minutes, as in the situation with its activation. After that, of course, the mechanism for writing off the funds and all the charging will be changed.

Features of using the plan

Working with the package "Planet Zero", you need to remember some of its features. First, it is suitable only for smartphones. It can not be combined on a tariff for tablets or mobile USB modems. This also explains the fact that the service does not provide data for using the mobile Internet.

Secondly, the tariff is not combined with the plan "My planet". This is also a roaming plan, so the operator goes by giving a choice to the user which of the tariffs will be set on his number.

Thirdly, "Planet Zero" is a service "Beeline", which does not include other possibilities for the client. As reported on the official website of the operator, all other voice services will be automatically disabled when this plan is activated.

Finally, the last - its validity "Planet Zero" does not limit. This means that the tariff will be active until the subscriber disconnects it.

Feedback on the tariff plan

If we talk about how the subscribers themselves evaluate the service from Beeline, then on the whole, a positive attitude can be noted. This is not surprising - in comparison with the conditions of other operators, which relate to communication in roaming, as well as with other plans of Beeline itself, the offer is really interesting. To connect "Planet Zero" necessarily costs to those who are going to visit one of the countries of the "first" category.

Is it worth it to connect?

If you go abroad and want to talk with your relatives, relatives, acquaintances or just business partners from Russia on your mobile phone, then you should definitely connect this tariff. With it you can save a lot of money, in comparison with the classical scheme of charging the connection in roaming.

Alternative

Of course, if you do not know how to keep in touch with people from Russia while you are abroad, and are looking for the most affordable conditions, we can suggest as an alternative to Internet telephony or even instant messengers like Skype and WhatsApp. Work with them will be much cheaper, and even generally free of charge, provided that you and your interlocutor will have access to the Internet.
