How to switch from MTS to Vodafone? Instructions, tariffs, reviews

In the transition from MTS to Vodafone, you can find both pluses and minuses. Of course, there are even more positive sides. While Vodafone packages are only four, and they are available throughout Ukraine, except for Donbass. How to switch from MTS to Vodafone? There are two methods available. But for this, you first need to learn everything about what this connection is - Vodafone.

Real and prospective pluses of Vodafone

Significantly cheaper operator "Vodafone", unlike MTS, will be in roaming. Today it is more profitable to call Ukraine from Vodafone from 26 countries. If on MTS roaming cost, for example, 10 hryvnia per minute, then Vodafone is much more economical. Internet traffic and calls from Ukraine to other countries do not belong to the pluses of a mobile operator.

It is assumed that the operator "Vodafone" in the future will have much less problems with 3G Internet. Such a conclusion can be made because the decommissioned European equipment, which has long been set up for 3G, is likely to be installed on the territory of Ukraine. It can be assumed that in connection with this and the cost of the Internet in 3G will be lower than on MTS. But for sure you can not say for the time being.

Why "Vodafone" Ukrainian market?

This cellular connection of British origin literally absorbs the Ukrainian MTS. Of course, the advantages of the European operator are obvious - the best quality, than before, the introduction of advanced technologies. But no matter how it may happen that the total cost of Vodafone tariffs will eventually become truly European, which most people may simply not be able to afford, although now many are thinking about how to switch from MTS to Vodafone. And, of course, it's sad that MTS became the most "backward" among Ukrainian operators. That is, this relationship can not compete, and it would be logical to either invest in its development a lot of money and time, or sell it to a more prosperous company. The last decision, probably, seemed to MTS management more acceptable.

Will MTS tariffs change now?

Yes, tariffs on MTS will change, and it is not clear in which direction. However, while the official website of the company claims that everything will be fine not only with the quality of services, but also with prices, which, as promised, should be lower.

Over time, Ukraine will fully be "Vodafone" instead of MTS. This is also evidenced by the information on the official website of MTS. And first of all Vodafone will be a 3G-Internet brand.

Ways to switch from MTS to Vodafone

Return from Vodafone to MTS

How to switch from MTS to Vodafone is understandable. But how to return from Vodaforn on the MTS? Return to any rate will be impossible. Even if you have a SIM-card MTS. Moreover, the most likely outcome of all is the gradual transition to Vodafone of all MTS users and the replacement of the company itself by the British Vodafone.

When should I replace MTS with Vodafone, and when?

Can I switch to Vodafone from MTS if the subscription fee for the current tariff plan is about the same? It is even necessary to do this. And you should definitely switch to a new connection, if you need to make frequent calls abroad, and you need a good, high-quality Internet. Vodafone has a preferential access to the network.

On the other hand, if the MTS number does not have a subscription fee, then it should not be rushed to replace it. After all, while the proposed tariffs for Vodafone are entirely with a subscription fee. So, numbers without such in the near future will be appreciated. So, is it worth to switch from MTS to Vodafone in this case? Definitely - no.

Also, do not change the MTS, and if the number is only for calls within the network, well, if the subscription fee is less than 30 hryvnia. After all, "Vodafone" offers tariffs with a monthly fee of only 30 hryvnia and above, which means that when you move you will have to pay more. Thus, when choosing - MTS or Vodafone, tariffs play a very large role.

About Vodafone details

It is also necessary to know that in addition to RED S, M and L there is also a RED XS tariff. You need to learn to understand these packages. It is important to understand how to switch from MTS to Vodafone.

Regardless of which of these 4 tariffs the subscriber chooses, calls to Ukraine for Vodafone will be unlimited free of charge. The package "Air", which opens the service Vodafone TV, is only available for packages RED L.

Social networks allowed in Ukraine, and WhatsApp and Viber instant messengers are unlimitedly available in all packages except RED XS. In RED XS, social networks and instant messengers are not separated from other Internet, which in this case is given for a month of 1 GB. Other packages will be able to please subscribers by the Internet in the amount of 4, 8 and 12 GB - correspondingly to the increase of the subscription fee. Internet operator Vodafone supports both 3G and 2G. By 2 Gb of Internet, Vodafone will give subscribers a free gift, regardless of the connected tariff, and if the limit is exhausted, then for every subsequent 500 Mb you have to pay 500 hryvnia.

Free calls to other Ukrainian operators can be made from any tariff, but the number of minutes per month is limited. For RED XS 60 minutes are laid, for RED S - 75, for RED M - 105 and for RED L - 300 minutes. If the limit is exceeded, the cost of 1 minute of conversation with a subscriber of another operator will be 0.25 hryvnia.

There are no free calls abroad at the rate of RED XS, and therefore the cost of such a call will be 3 hryvnia per minute. On other tariffs, calls abroad can be made free of charge - 25, 35 and 75 minutes in ascending order (S, M and L). If free minutes are spent, the cost of 1 minute of conversation on these three tariffs will be 0.50 UAH.

At the same time they give some free Internet not only in the first time, but for a whole six months. Another plus of this connection is the possibility of connecting an additional package, if the monthly one has already been spent. As a new connection Vodafone (at least for now) pampers many of its subscribers.

Customer Reviews Vodafone

To please everyone without exception, no one will ever be able to. But in general, negative and positive feedback from citizens of Ukraine converge. Subscribers believe that there is more advertising - both outdoor, TV and radio, and advertising messages from the operator himself. Naturally, this is annoying users, but the company is trying to make its services more popular among the population.

However, people noted the huge plus of "Vodafone" - this is a very fast, uninterrupted, literally "flying" 3G Internet. But 2G, naturally, lags behind in speed. Ukrainians like the improved call center service in Vodafone offices. Probably, the British company conducted training of its employees.

Also, users of "Vodafone" consider it a pleasant surprise procedure to replace the old SIM card with a new one (the same number) in case of damage or loss. Simka is issued quickly and for free. The main thing is not to throw out and not lose the package in which the number was purchased. Many people think that Vodafone is somewhat the same as other operators. For example, it concerns the quality of communication during a call. Like all other cellular companies, in some places the connection is ideal, while in others it is interrupted endlessly, and in general the quality of the sound suffers.

Other opinion

There are subscribers who believe that unlike MTS tariffs "Vodafone" are much more expensive, and therefore do not think to move to this operator. There are among the users and people who succumbed to persuasion, imposing unnecessary services. They regard this imposition as a negative quality of Vodafone's connection.

In general, despite the fact that "Vodafone" is a new European technology and quality, the old tariffs of MTS in some way still win. To some, the change of number will be just an extra waste of money, for example, it is relevant for pensioners. That's why you need to think about changing the number to "Vodafone" instead of MTS better, and not follow the trends of fashion.
