Mobile operator Velcom Belarus is a reliable company offering its customers optimal service conditions at a favorable cost. Having studied the existing Velcom tariffs, each subscriber can choose for himself the one that is most consistent with his needs and lifestyle. Tariff plans from Velcom include in their description the most clear and transparent connection conditions - here you will not encounter hidden additional fees or unexpected write-offs of money from the phone balance.
The tariff offer "Comfort" from Velcom was developed and announced back in 2016. This is due to the ever-growing need of modern subscribers for unlimited and stable Internet access. The use of social networks, instant messengers and other services installed on the phone is the reason for the rapid disappearance of traffic and the burning of gigabytes.
Tariffs "Comfort" Velcom is a redesigned line called "Smart", which previously existed with the provider. The purpose of creating an offer is to meet the needs of Velcom customers in Internet traffic as much as possible, as well as the opportunity to significantly save on voice communications. Calls made within the 3G network are not subject to billing. The main condition is that the mobile device must support 3G communication.
The line includes several tariffs, which will be discussed below.
Suitable for those who surf the Internet not too little, but also infrequently, for example, they mainly communicate on social networks. One gigabyte of traffic can be used to navigate online maps, play games online, and view photos. The tariff "Comfort" from Velcom includes an unlimited amount of communication within the 3G network, 100 minutes for other subscribers and gigabytes of Internet. 
A subscriber using "Comfort 2" has access to advanced features, more traffic, which means more options for spending time on the Internet. This tariff from Velcom for two gigabytes allows you to watch videos, download photos and listen to music. It includes: unlimited communication in the 3G network, 200 minutes for communication with clients of other companies and two gigabytes of traffic on the Internet. 
Suitable for active Internet users who often use social networks and video hosting sites. Velcom client receives a large amount of traffic and included minutes in addition to unlimited 3G communication. The tariff includes: unlimited communication in the Velcom space, 300 minutes of communication with subscribers of other operators and four gigabytes of internet. 
Another suggestion that should not be ignored. It will appeal to Velcom subscribers who regularly use mobile Internet and constantly download applications, music and videos. This includes: unlimited communication in the Velcom 3G space, 400 minutes of communication with other subscribers and eight gigabytes of network traffic. 
Tariff Lemon
In 2019, the operator Velcom launched a new youth tariff plan called Lemon. Its main feature is unlimited use of social networks, as well as the ability to transfer the included traffic to the next month. For customers over eight and under ten years old, connecting to the Lemon tariff will cost nine rubles ninety kopecks per month.
Unlimited Internet traffic allows subscribers to be constantly online in networks such as Instagram, Vkontakte, Viber, as well as in the World of Tanks Blitz game. In addition, the tariff includes four gigabytes of traffic for all other online activities (it can be accumulated and carried over to the next month). A nice bonus is the provision of 100 minutes for calls to subscribers of other networks and free digital television Voka.
Velcom customers who have connected the Lemon tariff may not even think about a possible traffic overrun. If it is reset, the system will send a corresponding notification, after which the user will be able to receive an additional package (its cost is 2.5 rubles per gigabyte).
A person who has reached the age of majority can independently connect Lemon at any Velcom service point. You can also make an offer for a younger client; this requires his passport and the presence of one parent (guardian) during the procedure.

The mobile operator velcom offered its subscribers a "people's" smartphone. The ultra-cheap device costs 39.90 rubles and is designed to stimulate the transition of subscribers to third-generation networks, the company's press service said.
The appearance of a "people's" smartphone will open access to 3G technologies to the general population of the country. First of all, it will be of interest to subscribers in the regions who still use conventional push-button telephones. In addition, it can be used as an additional, second smartphone.
“Now there is no reason for subscribers to tie themselves only to GSM-communications. A new 4-inch smartphone can be purchased for the price of an inexpensive mobile phone and thus open the way to the use of new technologies. Ultimately, this should lead to a more massive transition of subscribers from the second generation format to 3G.”, - noted in velcom.
The ZTE Blade L110 model acted as a "people's" smartphone. It is distinguished by a 4-core processor, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory. The device has two standard cameras - the main one at 5 megapixels and the front one at 2 megapixels. The smartphone supports 3G standard and two micro-SIM. The device is controlled using Android 5.1 OS, which distinguishes it from other budget models with older platforms.
The smartphone is sold in all regions of the country with a 62% discount. The "Social" price is valid until the end of the year when you subscribe to the "About Everything" tariff plan with a monthly fee of 1.99 rubles or any tariff of the "Smart" and "Business" line. Both new and existing velcom subscribers can take advantage of the offer.
The decision to launch a mass "people's" smartphone in velcom is associated with the large-scale development of the "new 3G" - the launch of UMTS-900 standard base stations throughout the country. Now velcom's third generation network is available on 80% of the territory of Belarus, and by the end of the year its coverage will be almost equal to that of GSM communications. Thus, mobile Internet and HD-format voice calls reach the most remote corners of the country. In addition, the quality of communication in cities is improving, which is especially noticeable in densely built-up areas, on the basement floors of buildings and inside buildings with massive walls.
“Practically all regions now have a stable 3G- communication from velcom, so not only urban, but also rural residents can use modern communication technologies. There is only one limiting factor - not all subscribers have switched from ordinary mobile phones to "smart" ones. A “people's” smartphone will correct the situation: it can be presented to elderly parents or growing children so that they are always in touch and can freely use high-quality voice communications and the Internet in everyday life. All this should lead to a reduction in the “digital divide” in Belarus, both geographically and socially.”, - explained in velcom.
