New tariffs from Beeline for pensioners in 2021
The “Zero Doubts” and “Mobile Pensioner” tariffs are currently not available for new users.
For 2021, Beeline offers new tariffs and packages that may be of interest to older people:
- “Per-second” tariff – maximum savings without a subscription fee;
- “Bi+” – inexpensive communication without a monthly fee with the ability to add services;
- “Social” package – an advantageous offer for active subscribers with benefits;
- packages “Family”, “Super Family”, “Super Family+” - with the ability to connect up to 6 people together to communicate with each other for free and use a large package of calls, SMS, mobile and home Internet, as well as TV and cinema.
Below is a detailed description of each option, taking into account all the features of tariffs and hidden conditions. The cost is indicated for Moscow subscribers. Prices may vary slightly in other regions. You can subscribe to the tariff plan by phone, via the Internet or at the operator’s office. Clients of other cellular companies can switch to Beeline with the same number.
For smartphone
We are accustomed to thinking that older people only use regular push-button phones, but in fact this is not always true. Smart phones have become quite widespread, and their use is no longer as difficult as it was ten years ago. And if your grandparents use a smartphone, then you can safely connect them to the Beeline tariff from the line of package offers. This will allow you to freely use additional features of the device, including instant messengers, popular among users of any age.
Among the operator’s offers there is a special tariff aimed at preferential categories of citizens, which include people of retirement age. You can sign up for the “Social package” at the operator’s office either with a new SIM card or by switching from a different tariff.
This offer is really profitable, since it allows you to get a full package tariff for just 5 rubles per day. Judge for yourself - two hundred minutes are available for a month to all local and Beeline throughout Russia, 1000 SMS to local ones. After using a package of minutes, you can call all Beeline numbers in Russia for free.
The tariff also includes special conditions for using the Internet. The package contains three gigabytes of traffic, which is not spent on instant messengers, navigation, and government portals. This means that you can make an appointment with a doctor, check your benefits, or sign up for classes as part of a longevity program without thinking about the megabytes used.
If this package of services is not enough for you, then there are other affordable options. So, there are even more opportunities in the tariff with a daily payment of 14 rubles - “First gigs”. There will be no need to use additional services for the Internet, which will also cost much less.
For a fee you can get ten gigabytes per month. There will also be 400 minutes available to any Moscow mobile numbers, which can also help reduce costs. “First Gigabits” uses a daily subscription fee, which allows you to replenish it not immediately at full cost.
More favorable tariff for pensioners without Internet
For the most economical customers, Beeline offers the opportunity to pay for mobile communications with charging only for the used call time. This is convenient if you call only when necessary. Phone costs can be kept to a minimum without any mandatory monthly payments.
“Second-by-second”:
- no monthly fee;
- calls within the home region 5.35 kopecks/second.
- the cost of 1 SMS message is 2 rubles. 68 kopecks
- switching to the tariff is free, but only if the previous shift was earlier than 30 days ago.
This offer is created for those who make few calls, do not use long-distance calls and want to save as much as possible. Only seconds of conversation are paid, without rounding to minutes. Calls less than 3 seconds will be completely free.
This tariff plan is not suitable for long calls - a minute of conversation will cost 3.21 rubles. Calls to mobile phones to other cities cost 4.17 rubles. in a minute. For those who like long conversations, this tariff will not be the most profitable.

Call and SMS directions now include “local numbers” rather than “connection region numbers.” But this is only in the description on the main page. In fact, there were “local numbers” before. This wording is important only when traveling around Russia.
The SMS package was reduced 5 times - from 1000 to 200, but now SMS can be sent to any number in Russia; previously – to local numbers and Beeline Russia numbers.
QIP was excluded from unlimited messengers, but Telegram was added. Modernized, so to speak.
Unlimited social networks appeared on the tariff, but we have already dealt with them. Unlimited works only for text messages and news feeds, which rather serves as a disorientation for the subscriber in terms of traffic consumption rather than a truly useful service.
Added 75 TV channels. In addition to TV channels, the tariff includes a free subscription to films, TV series, cartoons and educational programs for the whole family. The subscription can be used on five devices at once from one account.
Tariffs from Beeline without subscription fee
In addition to the “Per Second” plan, there is 1 more cheap tariff without a subscription fee - “Bi+”:
- no monthly fee;

In this tariff plan, the “Start” option is automatically activated, which makes it possible to make unlimited calls to Beeline cell phones and use the Internet in the amount of 3 GB per month. There is a fee of 6 rubles for this option. per day. To turn it off, after switching to the “Bi+” tariff, you need to remember to call 06742222 . Then the “Start” package will be deactivated.
What tariffs are in demand among pensioners?
Most often, people of retirement age are very conservative and prefer one-time payments for communication services rather than daily write-offs. For many, it is much more convenient to add a certain amount to the balance and use these funds, always having the opportunity to control them. This is why tariffs without a monthly fee are so common among pensioners. They are chosen primarily for convenience. Agree, checking how much money is left in the account of a phone number is much easier than tracking packages of minutes, SMS messages and other quotas that are usually included in the terms of use of the tariff. In addition, almost all tariffs with a subscription fee imply that the subscriber has a modern smartphone with which he can access the Internet. Not all grandparents have such gadgets, and many consider it wasteful to buy packages that they are unlikely to ever use.
So, we've dealt with the first point. The tariff for a pensioner should be without subscription fees and unnecessary services, which also includes the Internet. Of course, in the modern world you can meet many advanced pensioners who are registered on social networks, are not averse to chatting on Skype through their smartphone, and even know how to send photos and videos on WhatsApp. However, this category of grandparents can choose any tariff they like from the traditional line for active users.
Beeline's line of offers includes about ten tariff plans without a subscription fee. They all have their own distinctive features.

The “Super Family” and “Super Family+” packages offer more services, and you can connect up to 6 people along with the main package holder.
These offers will be of interest to those pensioners whose relatives are active users of cellular communications, the Internet, and TV and want to receive all this from one company.
The “Family” tariff line went into the archives in February 2021 and was replaced by tariffs from the Close People series.
Tariff "Mobile pensioner"
Perhaps Beeline's best offer for pensioners. And the main thing is that this is a special offer that takes into account all, or almost all, the features of this particular category of subscribers. The tariff is activated without a monthly fee, it does not provide any additional built-in services, but the cost of calls.
No roaming
According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, cellular operators do not have the right to charge Russians for incoming calls. On most tariff plans, the transition to the new legal conditions has not yet taken place. The “Mobile Pensioner” tariff was initially released as a tariff without payment for incoming calls when located both in the home network and in roaming space.

Connection to the USA, Canada and European countries - 35 rubles per minute, countries of North and Central America - 40 rubles. All other calls – 55 rub/min.
