The “Device” tariff from Vodafone is a new product for spring 2017, presented in three different service packages: S, M and L. In general, the tariff plan is aimed at those subscribers who primarily need mobile Internet. But there are also exceptions - the “S” package, which should satisfy all your needs (but in a small volume). Although it is worth noting that all 3 service packages are suitable for active surfing on the Internet, as well as for such specific needs as installation in various M2M “smart” devices (meters, GPS trackers, alarms, etc.). This is due to the range of services that I suggest you familiarize yourself with now in the table below.

As I mentioned above, the “Device” tariff plan is represented by three service packages: S, M and L. All of them differ in the size of the subscription fee, as well as the range of services that is included in it. For convenience, I will consider the “S” package separately from the rest, since it differs significantly in its content. If you purchased the “Device” starter package with the “S” package from Vodafone, then for 45 hryvnia monthly subscription fee you will receive the following set of services:

• 50 minutes per day for calls within the network (Vodafone + MTS-Ukraine);
• 50 MB of 3G Internet per day (after using this amount until the end of the day - unlimited at 2G speed);
• 50 SMS/MMS for free shipping to any numbers in Ukraine.

Differences between “Device” M and L tariff plans

If you choose the M or L service package for yourself, the subscription fee will be 50 UAH per month for the “M” package and 90 UAH/month for the “L” package. For the specified monthly fee you will receive the following set of services:

• 5 GB of free traffic per month at 3G speed (+2 GB free in the first month of use) for the “M” package and 10 GB/month of traffic at the same speed for the “L” package. If this volume is not enough for you, then you can buy additional data for 15 UAH per 500 MB;
• Calls to all numbers within Ukraine (including within the network) will be charged at 0.50 UAH/minute.

The remaining conditions in the “Device” tariff from Vodafone are the same for all service packages. Calls are charged per minute, there is no connection fee. Calls to numbers of other Ukrainian operators will cost 50 kopecks for every minute of conversation. SMS and MMS messages within Ukraine are charged at 50 kopecks per piece (in excess of those included in the package, if any), and abroad - at 3 UAH/piece.

It is also worth noting that you have the opportunity to save on the monthly subscription fee by ordering the “Year without subscription fees” service. With this service, you will pay the cost of the “Device” tariff plan immediately in 366 days at the following prices:

Basically, that’s all I would like to say about Vodafone’s offer for your devices. If you missed something, write in the comments.

Mobile operator Vodafone Ukraine presented a line of Vodafone Device tariffs, designed specifically for smart devices. According to the company, each type of smart device has its own consumption model and the amount of data used, so the operator offered several tariffs at once - Vodafone Device S, M and L.

The “junior” tariff S is suitable for devices that do not use a large number of traffic daily. The daily tariff includes 50 MB, upon exhaustion of which an unlimited amount of 2G Internet is provided, 50 minutes for calls within the network and 50 SMS to all networks are also included. This tariff is suitable for any smart device, such as GSM/GPS alarms, gas or electricity meters.

The Vodafone Device M tariff is designed for tablets, 7 GB is available in the first month of the tariff mobile internet, then – 5 GB and unlimited communication on social networks for 50 UAH per month. More active users who distribute the Internet through a router or use a modem should pay attention to the Vodafone Device L tariff, which offers 10 GB of 3G Internet for 90 UAH per month. The tariff also includes unlimited communication on social networks.

In all three Internet tariffs, the “Year without subscription fees” service is available, which will save up to 25% of the cost of the service package in the tariff. For those who activate the service within the first 7 days after activating the tariff, the operator promised an additional discount. Detailed information about the new Vodafone Device tariff line is available on the operator’s website in the tariffs section at the following link.

P.S. We also remind you that from tomorrow, March 1, 2017, with an increased subscription fee and increased volumes of prepaid services:

Manufacturers mobile devices They do not tire of constantly updating the already greatly “wiser” fleet of smartphones and tablet PCs. It is not surprising that over time, demand arose for tariffs aimed specifically at use as a “second device” or in PC mode. Buying new tablet, instead of an outdated one, many prefer to immediately purchase a SIM card, or even a device under contract (tied to a specific operator and subsequent use only in its network). The Ukrainian operator Vodafone was one of the first on the market to introduce a line of such tariffs – “Device”, offering a flexible system of discounts and additional offers for regular and new customers.

Overview of the “Device” tariff line

The “Device” tariff line includes three offers from junior to senior: S, M, L. All these tariffs have characteristics tied to the interests of certain groups. For those who do not consume a large amount of traffic, the initial tariff with the S index is perfect. It includes:

• daily 50 MB of Internet traffic in 3G networks, after exhaustion of which the speed decreases and the connection occurs only in 2G format (here the traffic is unlimited);
• the ability to call up to 50 minutes a day within the network, as well as to numbers of the partner network (MTS Ukraine). Calls to other operators will cost 0.5 UAH;
• 50 SMS messages to any numbers in the country;
• roaming: calls abroad cost 10 UAH. per minute, sending a message to a foreign number will cost 3 UAH, and calls to all city numbers in Ukraine will cost 4.25 UAH.

The next oldest in the “Device” line is the M tariff. First of all, it is distinguished by the presence of unlimited Internet traffic of 5 GB included in the price. Other conditions:

• calls within the Vodafone network, as well as MTS Ukraine – 0.5 UAH. in one minute
• similar cost for SMS messages;
• Calls abroad will cost 10 UAH. in one minute of telephone conversation.

In general, other conditions remain the same as for the junior S-tariff. If you do not have enough services provided in the junior tariff, then it will be enough to pay only 5 UAH extra. and switch to tariff M.

Tariff L is the senior one; it includes the maximum amount of Internet traffic – 10 GB. All other tariff conditions do not differ from the M-option.

Additional features

A pleasant bonus for everyone who connects to the average (M) tariff of the “Device” line will be the provision of 2 gigabytes of traffic absolutely free. They must be used up within a month, otherwise they will burn out. In addition, M and L tariffs have unlimited access to services social networks(Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, text messages on Viber and WhatsApp).

If the volume of Internet traffic exceeds the permissible limit, each subsequent 500 MB will cost the user 15 UAH.

For those who prefer an advance payment system, the operator cellular communication Vodafone service available “A year without subscription fees.” All you need is to have the required amount in your account and activate the service (*365# call, to check the status of the service you can make a request *365*1# call). The service is valid for 366 calendar days from the moment it was activated. The entire amount will be debited immediately after confirmation of the request.

How to activate the “Device” tariff

If you have chosen one of the tariffs from the “Device” line, then to connect it you need to do the following. We purchase the Vodafone Device M starter package. The entire package of services, valid for a month, will already be included in the price. Next, we perform activation: to do this, call short number 111 or simply go online, thereby starting the session.

Next, during the first 7 days after connecting, we choose the tariff that we like best, for example, S or L, and switch to them with a special offer (the price will be reduced). After 7 days, the transfer cost will remain normal. If you decide to stay on the middle tariff of the line (M), then skip this point.

The transition is carried out by entering a short combination:

• *500*7# call (on S tariff).
• *500*6# call (if you prefer M tariff)
• *500*5# call (to switch to the higher L tariff)

The first week there is a special price for the transition, the so-called. time for maneuver, during which the subscriber is asked to decide on his preferences. During this week, the transition from the starting M to S will be free, and migration to L will cost only 45 UAH. Upon expiration of the term, the subscriber will be forced to pay the full cost: 45 UAH. on S, 90 UAH. on L. Agree, it’s a good incentive to decide on a tariff in the first week.

After activating the tariff plan, you must reboot your device for the changes to take effect.

Important: when changing the tariff plan, all activated services are canceled, with the exception of the “Beep” and “Click” services. To clarify information on subscriptions and services, you should use your personal account.

The bonuses that you accumulated before changing your tariff plan will be retained, as will the settings of the customer loyalty program. If a subscriber leaves MTS Ukraine, the loyalty settings will no longer be valid.

Conclusion

Tariff line mobile operator Vodafone under the general name "Device" looks very balanced. It is the product of a balanced policy pursued by the company within the framework of its corporate values. There are no extremes; attractive and competitive prices for services will appeal to many active users who are used to carrying two devices with them. There is no doubt that this tariff will attract a considerable number of active subscribers.
