Mezentsev: the issue of roaming cancellation in the Union State is under special control

According to him, mobile operators have already included comfortable tariffs for international roaming services in the territory of the Union State.

"Tariffs for Belarusian subscribers to use roaming services on the territory of the Russian Federation have been reduced to a level comparable to subscriber tariffs on the home network, tariffs for outgoing calls in international roaming on the territory of the Union State have been reduced 28 times. As a result, the consumption of cellular services has increased 1.5-2 times," the Secretary of State said.

He also noted that following the consideration of this issue at the meeting of the High-level Group of the Council of Ministers of the Union State on June 10, 2024, the Ministries of Communications were instructed to continue working in order to apply comfortable tariff plans for Russian and Belarusian subscribers in the territory of the Union State: 300 minutes for voice calls and 21 GB for data transmission during a calendar month.

"The results of the work on the abolition of roaming are planned to be discussed at the upcoming meetings of the HLG, the Union Council of Ministers. The Ministry of Communications of Belarus and the Ministry of Finance of Russia should complete the work before the meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State in order to report to the heads of state that the problem with roaming is in the past," Dmitry Mezentsev stressed.
