Answer:
When money is credited to the balance of the GoodLine tourist SIM card, an SMS notification about the crediting of money comes.
It's no secret that calls abroad are served in roaming mode. It means that the subscriber, in order to communicate with the number he needs, does not use the services 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 that are relevant in the domestic market.
Special rates
In this regard, mobile communication providers often hold various promotions and provide a discount on communication with other countries, trying to pick up the most affordable rate for your subscriber. However, this is not always possible - often users still cannot afford the costs that are imposed by companies. Even various options for working in only one direction, for a particular country, cannot significantly fall in price due to the factor of the presence of two mobile operators - yours and foreign ones.
Alternative
If the 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 through the network is not always convenient, and sometimes even becomes impossible.
The second way is to buy special SIM card another operator whose tariffs are more affordable. Often we are talking about some international providers that specially issue their SIM cards for travel. Just one of these we will talk about 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. The reviews left about her on the Internet indicate that this is a supplier of so-called tourist SIM cards. In essence, this is 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 ours. largest operators connections. Even if we compare the prices of different special offers 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 business model of the company 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 keep your number). But it also costs 15 cents more under the conditions specified on the operator's website.
This company offers not only cheap calls. There are also those providing for the availability of Internet traffic at a special price. This means that you will be able to use the mobile Internet while being somewhere abroad.
Services
In fact, the business model of GoodLine (Russia) resembles how others work mobile operators. Here, in particular, they serve client numbers and support the operation of your SIM cards. Here they develop their tariff plans and allocate service packages (minutes, messages, traffic) for a certain cost.
In addition to serving private customers, GoodLine (reviews confirm this) also helps companies interested in mobile communications services. For example, these may be some corporate data packages that apply to several interconnected mobile numbers.
The company also provides other services. For example, there is an online store where they sell goods that may be useful to you when traveling in the future. They also offer room service, such as top-ups.
Truth, domestic operators in some ways they have more to offer than GoodLine. TV services, for example, the company to which the review is dedicated, does not provide. Yes, and in roaming, probably, this is not such an urgent issue.
Tariffs
At the time of writing, in the section of the GoodLine website “Tariffs” (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 - $0.29, other countries - $0.49. From the USA to Russia the price of a call 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 ratio between a certain amount of traffic (for example, 10 mb) and the price for 1 day of use (1 dollar). The maximum package is 2 GB of data and 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 replenishment accounts (according to official exchange rate Central Bank). This also includes a 10 percent discount on goods from an online store (tablets, phones, an insurance policy, etc. are sold here), as well as a program for accumulating special “miles-minutes”. This means that the more the subscriber talks on the phone, the more he can ultimately benefit from cooperation with GoodLine. Reviews indicate that upon reaching a certain number of bonuses, the client is given the opportunity to use the services of the airline for free, get free hotel accommodation and other benefits.
