Tele2 (owned by Rostelecom) has announced plans to cancel roaming in Crimea and Sevastopol by the autumn of this year, according to a representative of the telecommunications company.
Work on setting up the billing system (an automated calculation system for determining the cost of services) has already begun. The plan is to bring mobile communication tariffs in line with all-Russian rates.
Tele2 has decided to abolish the additional fee for using communication services in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. While subscribers are in these regions, minutes and gigabytes will be charged as in their home region: deducted from the package or paid for under the standard terms of the tariff plan.
Upon arrival in Crimea, all Tele2 customers will automatically register in the network of Miranda-Media (a digital service operator in Crimea and Sevastopol and other regions of the Russian Federation). At the same time, communication and Internet services will be paid for under the terms specified in the Tele2 subscriber's package, just as when traveling to any other region of Russia.
Tele2 also noted that this decision was made based on requests from customers who are accustomed to transparent all-Russian tariffs without additional markups within the country.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russians shared what they would like to see mobile communication and Internet tariffs like.
