Atlas cellular communications have only just appeared on the Russian market, but have already caused quite a serious resonance. This is due to a very original approach to the formation of tariff plans and the provision of services to its clients.
Let’s figure out what offers the Atlas cellular operator makes to its customers, and whether it’s worth switching to using it.
Mobile communications Atlas
One of the main advantages of Atlas is that it provides competition, which can lead to lower prices for consumers. This method will help open up networks so that other providers can come and offer services. One trend being observed is that regulators are opening up the market to more competition to potentially encourage price competition for the benefit of consumers.
In addition to providing consumers with low-cost connectivity options, Atlas can develop service offerings for specific market segments that are ignored by mobile operators.
The operator can focus on specific value propositions and offer products and services targeted at specific consumer groups. This will certainly create more opportunities to expand reach to potential new user segments that may struggle to pay for other mobile services or offer a distinct value proposition.
Atlas virtual operator
In an increasingly digital world and a fragmented telecoms industry, mobile virtual network operators are on the rise, embracing new technologies, exploring new verticals and offering value to both consumers and existing mobile network operators.
A mobile virtual network operator is an organization that offers telecommunications services similar to a mobile network operator, but does not own the radio frequency spectrum. Instead, an agreement is made with a mobile network operator that has radio spectrum.
For mobile operators, virtual operators can help expand their reach, increasing connectivity and allowing them to reach more users.
Atlas is a telecom operator that is considered a provider of the virtual operator SIM SIM (SIM TELECOM LLC). He, in turn, is a service provider of the organization PJSC VimpelCom.
A virtual operator can afford to reduce retail prices to a certain extent because it does not have to pay for radio spectrum licenses and does not have the infrastructure to maintain. Because it has low overhead, it can spend aggressively on marketing to increase its chances of selling minutes to consumers.
Mobile phone carriers typically offer prepaid wireless plans on a subscription basis. Sales and customer service can be carried out directly by an entity called a mobile virtual network activator. VAs are best suited to meet the needs of some specific communities and provide segmented services to niche market verticals.
Thus, virtual mobile operators use a specific strategy to be competitive in a market in which they coexist with much larger companies that also have their own wireless network. They have a large number of clients and allocate little expense to management and organization, so that the quality of their services is equal to, and in some cases even superior to, that of mobile operators with their own network.
Likewise, thanks to lower prices, virtual mobile operators can often offer their users packages and plans with better benefits at very affordable prices. It is also important to note that mobile virtual network operators offer a wide variety of offers.
As for the disadvantages of the Atlas virtual operator, it does not have physical establishments. There is nowhere for customers to go to solve a problem or clarify doubts. However, it is also true that this operator often offers excellent customer service via email, phone or other means.
How to connect to Atlas
This is a unique operator because it is not easy to connect to it. You cannot purchase a SIM card, unlike SIM cards from other companies. The user will need to install a mobile application.
Atlas mobile operator has an official website from which you can download the application. It's completely free. The application is available on both iOS and Android. It will be possible to order an operator SIM card there. The courier will deliver it free of charge.

In order to become a client of the company, all interested people need to visit the official website of the company, located at atlasapp.ru, and download the application for their gadget. Unfortunately, today the applications are only available to users of Android and Apple devices. However, this is the lion’s share of the audience of modern cellular subscribers.
After downloading the application, you need to go through a simple registration procedure, and after sending all the completed data, company employees can contact you to clarify all the other nuances of obtaining a SIM card.
However, if they don’t call you back, don’t get upset ahead of time, because the new Atlas connection today is still working in test mode, and very soon it will begin to accept everyone into its ranks of subscribers.
Atlas operator tariff plans
The new cellular operator Atlas has five tariff plans that are available to users. Subscribers receive free communication packages monthly. The package size is determined in accordance with the client’s activity in the mobile application.

Atlas offers favorable conditions for users. Activation of packages is available to customers around the clock. Simultaneous activation will allow you to summarize the volumes of services, but the validity period for each will not change. To activate tariffs you will need to use the internal currency - atlases.
How to earn Atlases
To use the services, clients will need to earn atlases. Atlases mean points that can be exchanged for operator tariff plans at a rate of 1 to 1. They are easy to obtain. To do this, you will need to make a purchase from the company’s partners. Cashback will be awarded for them. This is the easiest way to get atlases.
They can also be obtained using other methods:
- invite friends;
- fill out your profile;
- install recommended applications on your phone, etc.
Earning atlases is not difficult at all. To do this you need to buy from partners. In this case, clients will receive 2-8% cashback. There may be other methods of reward. Let's say you spend about a thousand rubles, take a photo of the receipt and receive cashback in the form of 50 atlases.
Using such simple methods, the user can easily and simply accumulate the amount of atlases and be able to receive a tariff. In this case, using mobile communications will be truly free.
Tariffs of the operator "Atlas"
Today the company offers its customers 5 tariff plans available for free connection. They are activated in the application, and you can view detailed information about each of the tariffs in the detailed material on our website.
The question of what to do for subscribers of a new cellular operator in a situation where there are no atlases on their account, and the tariff renewal deadline is already approaching, is quite obvious. Fortunately, the company has also retained the ability to replenish your account using money as a standard option. That is why among the tariff line there is also a paid tariff, within which for 1.80 rubles. In 1 minute you can talk to any subscribers in the country.
Basic tariff plan
The user will not have to pay a subscription fee for using mobile communication services. In addition, Atlas clients cannot go into the red. It is also very convenient that it offers a basic plan if you need additional communication beyond the packages. The cost of operator services will be debited from your mobile phone account in rubles.
Atlas offers a universal basic tariff. You can pay for services using atlases. There is also a simple tariff, which is paid in cash.
Outgoing calls to any numbers within Russia | To any numbers in Europe and the CIS | Roaming within the Russian Federation (calls and SMS) | To any numbers all over the world | Outgoing SMS within the Russian Federation | Mobile Internet |
1.8 RUR/min | 30 rub./min | 5 rub | 70 rub./min | 1.8 RUR | 5 RUR/MB |
Atlas provides budget services, but using the Internet without packages will be very expensive for the client. Therefore, it is recommended to use the basic plan also for calls within your home region.
Useful Atlas commands
At the end of our article, we offer useful commands and queries for your reference, without which it will be quite difficult for new clients of a new cellular company to adapt to using the services:
- You can use the request to check your account *100*#;
- To obtain up-to-date information about the remaining Internet traffic, the combination *100*1#;
- You can get information about the last deposit of funds (both real and virtual) to your account using the USSD code *100*3#;

Nuances of the Atlas mobile operator
Atlas has its own nuances. The most important thing is that no one gets anything for free!
You shouldn’t just wait for any free tariffs; to make sure of this, you need to visit the official Atlas website. It contains the following information in the “Partners” section: “Atlas” is a mobile platform for increasing loyalty and attracting new customers. Accordingly, clients must pay for something, but for what if everything is already available?
As a result, communication will be completely free only if the user constantly purchases something from the company’s partners or uses its paid services.
2-8% of the cost of services is allocated to communications. Let's say a user bought something on the site for 400 rubles, receiving 32 rubles for communication. Accordingly, there can be no free communication.
For communication you need to earn money from purchases every month. Here comes another nuance! There are no simple grocery stores among the operator's partners. Basically, partners offer unnecessary goods that are unlikely to be useful in everyday life. If you do not make enough purchases, you will have to pay for the connection.
It is also important to note that the cellular operator’s website talks exclusively about the benefits. However, in reality everything is not quite like that. If you read the description of Atlas, you will understand that it is completely no different from various cashback services. Megafon and MTS have similar platforms. The only difference is that other services offer real money, which can be withdrawn either to a card or to a mobile account.
Terms of Use
Also, in order to use communication services for free, a new subscriber must periodically use the services of such operator partners as BlaBlaCar, Yandex Taxi, LaModa and others. A complete list of partners can be found on the operator’s official website.
