: Talked about top operators, popular tariffs and prices, and also gave useful practical advice.
Prior to the reunification of the Crimea with Russia, 3 Ukrainian operators worked on the territory of the peninsula, which served about 3 million subscribers (up to 4.5 million in the tourist season).
In August 2014, the Ukrainian mobile communications began to leave the Crimea. In September of the same year, MTS-Ukraine through the WinMobile network (Brand owner, K-Telecom company) connected technical roaming, which worked until the end of 2014 only in large cities.
The first Crimean operator "WIN MOBILE" (code + 7-978-9) appeared on the peninsula on August 5, 2014 and began to provide services in the GSM standard. Few earlier steel in large quantities of the SIM card "MTS Krasnodar" (code + 7-978). According to the statement of the main office, the company does not work directly on the peninsula (uses Win Mobile network to provide technical roaming).
In 2016, 2 more operators appeared on the peninsula.: In February - the state "Crimelecom" (owned by the Ministry of Communication of the Crimea; code + 7-978-40), and in June - "Wave Mobile" (belongs to KTK-Telecom; code + 7-978-5).
Important! "Crimelecom" does not serve the territory of Sevastopol, where there is a "SevMobile" operator (code + 7-978-254 / + 7-978-300).
Tele2, Beeline and MegaFon in Crimea work through the tower of local operators using technical roaming as well as MTS. Some stores sell "gray" SIM cards, but subscribers of these companies on the peninsula are significantly less.
The price of the starting package and communication quality
The starting package "Sevmobile" costs 100 rubles. The company offers 6 tariff plans. However, Sevmobile is suitable, mostly residents of Sevastopol, which rarely go beyond the city. National roaming is operating on the territory of the republic, moreover, it is necessary to include it manually.
Tariffs of Crimean telecom operators

| Wave Mobile | Sun / 0. | Economical tariff for calls to Crimean and Krasnodar numbers |
| Sea / 150. | Tariff for calls to the rooms of Crimean and Krasnodar operators with SMS package and mobile Internet (3 GB) | |

Roaming: The cost of national roaming for all operators is an average of 10 rubles / min. and 10 rubles / MB. International roaming: from 30 rubles / min. (CIS) up to 70 rubles / min. (Far abroad).
Also "Crimeans" provide a wide range of services for corporate clients.
Important! The most convenient fare for MTS Krasnodar subscribers on the peninsula is "Super MTS".
The cost of services from the company is increasingly more expensive, the service "Favorite country is available. Russia".
"Megaphone" offers its subscribers the option "Crimea": for 15 rubles / day incoming will become free, emanating in Russia and 1 MB of the Internet will cost 5 rubles per minute. Attention in order to use the "Crimea" option, you need to connect to the network "K-Telecom", the network will be displayed as "Win", "Rus 32" or "25032" (in Sevastopol "Rus33").
According to the similar scheme, Beeline works (via Win network) and "Tele2" (via the "Wave Mobile" network). The best option for Beeline subscribers is to use the options "The most profitable Internet in roaming" or "Week of Internet Roaming". "Tele2" Offers the service "In the Crimea like at home".
Interesting! The prices of the "big fourth" are almost the same.
All operators in Crimea provide services of commensurate quality and price. In some way, the mobile communication on the peninsula will not work in order to reduce its use, follow simple tips:
- buy the Crimean SIM card with the Internet is the most convenient and cheap option to stay in touch;
- SIM card is easier to buy in large cities than in small and coastal;
- use the services of the "big fourth" on the peninsula is expensive. The best conditions offers MTS (especially Krasnodar numbers);
- follow the connection network (see above who collaborates with anyone). If the phone "chooses" is not the network, you will have to seriously fork out;
- if you are going to the Crimea with the number of "Big Four", to which they will call, take advantage of special preferential services and replenish the score in Russia (problems may have problems with this or you have to overpay);
- when you leave the peninsula, do not forget to turn off all the preferential options (MTS often sinning by this, eating money).
Development and prospects
Mobile communications in Crimea is actively developing and becomes more accessible. There is hope that soon the "big four" will be able to get out of the "Shadow" of technical roaming. In the meantime, we will use the mobile Internet of local operators.
Although the Crimea is now part of Russia, mobile communication is not working there, as in other points of our country. There are no Beeline, MegaFon, MTS, Tele2, Yota in Crimea, and there are its own network Win Mobile, Crimelecom, Mobile wave, so all the symcards of Russian operators work in the Crimea in roaming mode.
All Russian operators except MTS, roaming in Crimea is quite expensive - calls, SMS and megabytes of traffic are 5-10 rubles. Package tariffs MTS, working throughout Russia, work in the Crimea through roaming Win Mobile. An additional fee is not taken, but there is one unpleasant feature - free MTS roaming works only in 2G mode. Internet speed on average 0.1 Mbps.
Win Mobile has 3G and 4G networks, but for some reason it is allowed only in 2G. Apparently, so agreed.
I asked several residents of the Crimea and even sellers of simpar on mobile networks in the Crimea, but they did not know anything to my surprise, speaking only about MTS. I had to deal with myself.
Three operators are caught in Yalta.
In the tariff plan "Internet S" 100 MB of traffic costs 5 rubles. The "youth" tariff plan has a subscription fee of 100 rubles per month, which includes 3 GB of traffic and unlimited calls to the rooms of Crimelecom. Calls to the phones of Russia - 5 rubles per minute, SMS - 2 rubles.
The third network 25060 2G / 3G belongs to the operator of the Mobile wave (KTK-Telecom), which has not yet started.
The cheapest version of MTS is a tariff with a strange name of MTS SMART unlimited, Simkart with whom you can buy in Moscow for 200 rubles. Every day, 12.9 rubles will be written off every day for which they give unlimited Internet, 200 minutes and 200 sms per month. Upon return, the tariff can be changed to any tariff without a subscription fee, for example Super MTS. Let us remind you once again that the Internet in the Crimea with this SIM card will be very slow - only 2G.
p.S. Important advice. If your mobile Internet does not work in roaming, although everything is configured correctly, just turn off the phone (do not translate into the air policy, do not overload), wait a minute and turn it on again.

In the territory of the Republic of Crimea, mobile companies are not working in other regions of Russia. This is most likely due to sanctions, raising cellular companies. Mobile Internet in Crimea works through local cellular companies "Win Mobile" - "Beeline", MegaFon, "Tele2" work through it; "Wave Mobile" - "MTS" works with it; "Crimelecom" does not provide services in the city of Sevastopol; "Sevmobile" - works exclusively within Sevastopol. But all cellular operators in the Crimea have their own characteristics, consider them.
Crimean Cellular operators
If the mobile Internet is vital for you, and your stay in the region promises to be long: you just need to use the services of one of the local companies.
Let's consider in detail what conditions in the art they offer:
- The mobile operator "WinMBile" for the Internet has a special fare "Foresa" for 400 rubles. per month - 15 GB of traffic;
- The company "Wave Mobile" also has a special tariff "Wind" its cost of 300 rubles. per month for 10 GB of traffic;

- Cellular Operator Sevmobile has an Internet option worth 300 rubles. For 10 GB of traffic, besides, this operator does not work well beyond the boundaries of the city of Sevastopol.
MTS in Crimea
MTS works on the territory of the peninsula, although it belongs to the Krasnodar Territory region. There are two options: the first to buy a SIM card directly in the Crimea; The second to use a map purchased in its native region. When buying a SIM card on the territory of the Crimea, you must choose one of the SMART tariffs all of them have a package of Internet services.
- Smartmini 1 GB 350 rub. per month;
- Smart 5 GB 500 rubles. per month;
- Smartb Uzilimite 10 GB 550 rub. per month;
- SMART + 7 GB 250 rub. in Week.
Important Remember that on the territory of the SIM-card peninsula you can only buy in large cities, and there are not many cellular salons.
For the Internet, it is recommended to activate the "Superbit" service, it will help reduce costs.
When using the SIM card of its home region with any SMART tariff (except Mini), 15 rubles are written off. A day as a subscription fee. At the same time, the Internet package remains the same as in the home region.
Beeline, MegaFon and Tele2 in Crimea
Mobile operators Beeline, megaphone and tele2 in Crimea do not officially work, their SIM cards are not sold, the tariffs and options acting in other regions of Russia do not work. Their subscribers fall into intranet roaming. All this significantly increases the cost of mobile communications. Although megaphone and tele2 have special options for the Crimea, it only improves the situation.
Regarding Beeline, it should be noted that the options "7 (or 30) Internet days for traveling in Russia" on the territory of Crimea does not work. The service "May Country" on the territory of the peninsula is also not valid. The price for the use of the Internet depends on the tariff chosen in its region.
For instance:
- For tariffs "All for 500 (800; 1200; 1800)" 3 rubles. for 1 MB;
- For the Tariff "All for 300" more expensive than 9.95 rubles.
In MegaFon, the cost of 1 mg while being in the territory of the republic is 9.90 rubles. When activating the "Crimea" option 1mg costs 5 rubles, but it removed 15 rubles. per day.
The company "Tele2" has a special service "in Crimea as at home", but at the cost of the mobile Internet it does not affect anything, but only removes the fee for incoming calls. In any case, the cost for 1MB is 5 rubles. With a debt stay in the region, the use of these companies is not appropriate.
It is time for vacations and seas, which means it is time to find out which cellular operators are in the Crimea in 2017. In addition, we will tell, the number of which operator starts at 978 and how to contact MTS.
