goodline I have been using goodline services for several years. Calls, SMS - everything is fine. This time we had to travel abroad independently by car using a navigator and detecting traffic (traffic jams), which can be seen using the Internet. I decided to play it safe and find out about the possibility of using the Internet on a trip where there is no free WI-FI. When I called the Goodlile office, I was informed that there was such an opportunity and they offered to use the “1 GB/month for $19” service package. For the Internet to work, you need to activate it by typing a certain command on your phone. Everything is clear and while I was in Russia, everything was fine. I draw your attention to the keyword “Activate”, i.e., without activation there is no Internet. I landed abroad and then it all started... I just managed to change my Russian SIM card to a Goodline SIM card and whether I wanted to or not, these Goodline people are already starting to debit money from your account without warning. On the very first day of my stay abroad and having discovered an unexpected decrease in my balance, I immediately contacted the support service by phone and through my personal account in writing with a request to turn off the Internet. I remember from the words of the support service that when I need the Internet, I can activate it only with the help of a certain command. And here some strange communication began with the support service. Why is everything fine in Russia, but some problems begin abroad? This is because in Russia there is no way to check what is called “feel” how it works. So, as I understand now, these bastards are deliberately not telling us and deliberately misleading us users of this service. The most interesting thing was that they “sneezed” at my package, which they told me to activate separately, and they quietly turned on the Internet abroad without warning at their own rates. I asked to turn off the Internet, they told me that the Internet was turned off. But in reality, it turns out that they turned off one service (the Internet) and at the same time immediately connected the same Internet, but even more expensive and at a higher price. And they are trying to explain to me that they cannot technically turn off the Internet. I interpret this as an imposition of services. Fortunately, there was no need for the Internet or traveling with a navigator. I think it’s super arrogant to withdraw money for the Internet while I’m at the hotel and connecting to the Internet via free WI-FI. Yes, yes, these goodline people manage to withdraw money at this moment. Well, aren't they freaks! The request to return the money for the unprecedentedly imposed Internet was ignored. They say correctly: if you want to be healthy, be a doctor; if you want to build a house, be a builder; if you want to communicate with relatives at a distance, be a professional in the field of telecommunications, communications and the Internet. It’s a shame, goodline people, you need to be more honest and treat your clients more respectfully. Dear users, I do not recommend using the services of scammers and swindlers from the Goodline company. Surely what I wrote is just one of the tricks of these scammers.

It's no secret that calls abroad are serviced in roaming mode. It means that the subscriber, to contact the number he needs, uses the services not of his operator, but of a foreign company (through the mediation of his provider). Due to this, the cost of calls, messages and the Internet abroad is very different from the prices current in the domestic market.

Special rates

In this regard, mobile communication providers often hold various promotions and provide discounts on communications with other countries, trying to find the most affordable tariff for their subscribers. However, this is not always possible - often users still cannot afford the costs imposed by companies. Even various options for working only in one direction, in a particular country, cannot become significantly cheaper due to the presence of two mobile operators - yours and a foreign one.

Alternative

If a user cannot afford to spend so much on mobile communications while abroad, he has several ways out of this situation. The first is to simply stop using mobile phones. Now there are a lot of Internet services that allow you to communicate with each other. Most of them are free. But communication via the network is not always convenient, and sometimes becomes completely impossible.

The second method is to purchase a special SIM card from another operator, whose tariffs are more affordable. Often we are talking about some international providers who issue their own SIM cards specifically for travel. We will talk about just one of these in this article. So if you decide to go somewhere, it will be useful to you.

Special operator

We are talking about the GoodLine company. Reviews left about it on the Internet indicate that this is a supplier of so-called tourist SIM cards. This is essentially what we mentioned earlier - the ability to purchase a dedicated card for communication between countries. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the final price of services is an order of magnitude lower compared to our largest telecom operators. Even if you compare the prices of various special offers of our “regular” operators and the cost of calls provided by the GoodLine SIM card, the difference will be huge. Because of this, people are looking for such services in order to be able to somehow save on mobile communications.

Concept

The general model of the company's activities is very simple. Either they give you a card with which calls are much cheaper to Russian numbers and, in turn, are free if they call you from Russian numbers, or you link your “native” number to the GoodLine card. Reviews note that the second option is, of course, more convenient (since you save your number). But according to the conditions specified on the operator’s website, it costs 15 cents more.

This company offers not only cheap calls. There are also Internet traffic options at a special price. This means that you will be able to use mobile internet while somewhere abroad.

Services

In fact, the business model of GoodLine (Russia) is reminiscent of how others operate mobile operators. Here, in particular, they service client numbers and support the operation of your SIM cards. Here they develop their own tariff plans and provide service packages (minutes, messages, traffic) for a certain price.

In addition to serving private clients, GoodLine (reviews confirm this) also helps companies interested in mobile communication services. For example, these could be some kind of corporate data packages that apply to several interconnected mobile numbers.

The company also provides other services. For example, there is an online store that sells goods that you may need in the future when traveling. They also offer room service services, such as account replenishment.

True, domestic operators in some ways can offer more than GoodLine. For example, the company to which this review is dedicated does not provide TV services. And in roaming, this is probably not such a pressing issue.

Tariffs

At the time of writing, in the “Tariffs” section of the GoodLine website (which, obviously, is dedicated to the cost of services in the system), two plans were presented that a subscriber can choose. One of them is “Planet-Good” (an option that allows you to make calls, write messages and use the Internet). In particular, the cost of incoming calls in more than 140 countries is 0, the price of a minute from Europe to Russia and St. Petersburg) is $0.05, other numbers are $0.29, other countries are $0.49. From the USA to Russia the call price is $0.49, from China - $0.29. And on the company’s website there are several more directions and services provided for by this tariff.

The second package, described in the “Tariffs” section of the GoodLine website, is called “Good-Internet”. It includes options that indicate the relationship between a certain amount of traffic (for example, 10 MB) and the price for 1 day of use ($1). The maximum package is 2 GB of data, which costs $100. The option is valid for 30 days.

Special offers

In addition to the services described above, the company provides special promotional offers. For example, one of these is profitable account replenishment (according to the official rate of the Central Bank). This also includes a 10 percent discount on goods from the online store (tablets, phones, insurance policies, etc. are sold here), as well as a program for accumulating special “mile-minutes.” This means that the more a subscriber talks on the phone, the more he can ultimately benefit from cooperation with the GoodLine company. Reviews indicate that upon reaching a certain number of bonuses, the client is given the opportunity to use the airline’s services for free, receive free hotel accommodation and other benefits.
