How not to get trapped in roaming?

Roaming services have been considered the "Achilles heel" of our mobile operators for several years. Because of this, the Belarusians are now and then trapped abroad.

Roaming from Velcom

Let's start by seniority - with the "oldest" cellular operatorwho remembers the days when the Nokia 3310 was sold in showrooms.

Actually, the summer mood is set even at the opening home page - endless fields and yellow balloons, according to Velcom marketers, are associated with the coming freedom. The "Roaming" tab is located here (in the "Individual clients" section).

To begin with, we read a short definition of what is called "International roaming from Velcom". This is a service that helps to make calls (including video) and send SMS while on the territory of other states through the networks of other operators that have agreements with Velcom. Users of the "Easy" and "Online" tariff plans are immediately eliminated - unfortunately, they will not be able to contact their homeland. Roaming is activated by dialing a certain combination of characters and numbers - since there are several types of service, each has its own combination.

A bit from my experience.

1. Ukraine. Five years ago I bought a prepaid SIM card from Kyivstar, I still use it. Chose for good coverage in the Carpathians and Crimea. They are sold on every corner, you do not need a passport when buying. The validity period is one year from the date of the last outgoing call or SMS. There is also an opportunity to make inexpensive calls to Belarus through a special code, analogue of IP-telephony.

2. Russia. With Russia it is more complicated - it is all divided into regions and a SIM card purchased in one region, it is not profitable to use in others. In addition, the validity period of SIM cards for all operators that I saw is six months. When traveling to Russia, I connected to the MTS Gostevoy tariff (now the analogue is called "Your Country") for inexpensive calls to Belarus. To connect, you need to conclude an agreement with a passport, i.e. the procedure is not fast.

3. Europe. When traveling to Europe last year, we bought a prepaid SIM card from the Polish operator HEYAH. Chosen for the cheapest calls to Belarus from Poland. In other countries of the European Union ...

1. You should turn off mobile phone before crossing the border with another state. Upon arrival in another country, turn on the telephone. The network search performed after switching on the phone can be done in two different ways: the phone can select the cellular network either manually or automatically. As a rule, the automatic search mode is used by default.

2. If the mobile phone has registered in the network automatically (either the name of the local operator, or the code of its network, or all together appeared on the display of the device), you can make and receive calls.
If the registration did not go through automatically, in the phone settings, set the manual network search mode according to the phone's instructions, find and select the "Networks" or "Select a cellular network" option.

3. After that, you need to search for new networks. The display of the device will show either the name of the local operator, or its network code, or all together.

  • A1bankingfor Android and iOS (provided that the application is installed);

Remember!
When you are in roaming, SMS confirmation of account replenishment is not guaranteed.

Funds are written off for communication services rendered to a subscriber in roaming by the company as soon as information is received from a foreign operator. In connection with this circumstance, the final amount for payment may be issued some time after the subscriber has actually used these services (up to 30 days). In this case, there may be a sharp change in the balance of the client's personal account. A similar principle of debiting money for roaming connections is used by most telecom operators.

Internet in roaming

The "International Internet roaming" service is provided automatically to all subscribers of the company if the following services are available:

  • "International roaming" + "Mobile Internet" and / or MMS;
  • SMS roaming + "Mobile Internet" and / or MMS.

Remember!
If the services "International roaming" and MMS are available, subscribers in roaming can receive / send MMS ("International Internet roaming" is not provided).
If you are planning use the Internet / MMS in roaming, before traveling outside Belarus, make sure the following:

  • when accessing Internet resources, as well as receiving / sending MMS, access points corresponding to the connected services are used in your phone;
  • applications operating in automatic mode (for example, E-mail client) are switched to “on demand” mode. To avoid automatic software updates, we recommend disabling the "Data roaming" option in telephones whose operating system allows this;
  • properly shut down applications and the browser.
  • in the MMS settings "Automatic reception" or "Always reception" is disabled and "Manual reception" or "Reception on request" is set. In this case, before downloading MMS, the telephone will make a request to receive MMS and only after your confirmation will download it;

If you do not plan use the Internet / MMS in roaming, before traveling outside Belarus:

  • in order to avoid automatic software updates, we recommend disabling the "Data roaming" option in telephones whose operating system allows you to do this. In the MMS settings, select “Do not receive” in the options, then the phone will not download incoming MMS.
