Call costs have become a real problem for cellular subscribers. Many are often ready to write off the quickly ending balance on dishonest telecom operators. Others think that they have chosen an expensive tariff. Both those and others agree that communication in Russia is too expensive. Experts, on the other hand, offer their recommendations on how to significantly reduce the cost of calls.
The experts could not help but become interested in the question of how to call cheaper. And they came to the conclusion that in most cases such unreasonable spending is associated with the inattention of subscribers and their ignorance of ways of saving.
Rarely do subscribers regularly monitor their balance, check the number of minutes spent per month. But accurate statistics helps to work out the best way to save on calls.
How to save on calls
First of all, review your data plan. Perhaps you connected to it many years ago, and since then the conditions for it have changed several times. At the same time, the mobile operator practically never informs you. Changing your tariff plan will help you restructure your calling costs a bit. And don't be afraid that you will have to change your number. The new tariff plan is simply tied to the existing one.
Today, according to the new law, you can even change the mobile operator, while leaving yourself your number. So feel free to go towards change.
You need to be very careful when choosing a tariff plan. On the official website of each mobile operator there is a detailed description of the tariff they offer. Arm yourself with a piece of paper and a pencil and count everything carefully. Provide for all the pitfalls. If you do not understand something about the selected tariffs, you can ask for a consultation either in the call center of the mobile operator, or in any stationary representative office.
Remember that you are eligible for a free rate change once a year. If you don't like the chosen option, you can change it at least immediately, but by paying extra.
It is also possible to reduce communication costs by reducing the conversation. Remember that it is better to talk only about the main and important things, and you can chat in the evening from home using a stationary device. If a mobile phone is your only means of communication, just choose an unlimited plan that will help you not to overpay, and chat as much as you like.
Scheduling is another great option to cut phone costs. Immediately mortgage yourself for a month the amount that you are willing to spend on conversations. And try not to overstep. The first month or two will be difficult, and then you get used to it.
Use the offered service "Favorite number". You can use it to connect one or several numbers at once, which you call most often. As a rule, for this option, substantial discounts are provided for both calls and SMS. Experts have calculated that the "Favorite number" costs 50% less than all the others.
If you often call people from other cities, choose either a tariff that allows you to save on long-distance calls, or explore additional features that will reduce your costs for such calls.
Additional funds
Today it is not at all necessary to use only cellular communication to make a call. In the age of smartphones and tablets, the Internet is always at your fingertips. This means that you have access to programs such as Skype, Viber, WhatsApp and others. Calls to them are completely free, and the quality of communication is no worse than over the phone. So, whenever possible, use all the benefits of civilization.
