entranceCellular communication and Internet in Montenegro. Mobile communications in Montenegro - Operators and tariffs How to choose a mobile connection, going to Montenegro
We are talking about the features of cellular communication in Montenegro, interesting tariffs. How to save on mobile Internet and negotiations within the country.
In the midst of the season of tourists in Montenegro more than local residents. However, there are almost no special offers for travelers in the mobile market. This is due to the fact that the country is very small, and most of the guests come from the republics of the former Yugoslavia - this is for them just interesting options in Montenegro. But the Russians who wish to save, most likely have to forget about roaming and use Skype.
Starting packages are sold in cities almost everywhere: in kiosks, shops and supermarkets, but there is one nuance. Often, these places do not ask documents, however the number is still required to register officially.
This requires a passport and communication salon. If this is not done, after five to seven days the SIM card will stop working. Therefore, it makes sense to immediately contact the point of sales of the selected operator, the benefit that are also found often.
Popular excursions in Montenegro
The most interesting excursions are routes from locals to Tripster. It is always interesting to start with (during your dating you can see all the signs, outline the routes of future walks). Immediately after which go beyond the city, admirement on - a stunningly beautiful trip to the country (more than 12 hours).
Communication in Montenegro: Telenor
The only operator in the country that boasts almost two hundred base stations. For a small state, even located mostly in the mountains, it is enough to cover the cities, beaches, main roads, tunnels.
That is, from the technical point of view, Telenor is just fine. But there is a problem: the operator does not induce a variety of packages. In essence, he proposes to pay for specific services. The starting sim card will cost 5 euros, the call inside Montenegro will cost 0.1999 €, SMS - 0.0499 €.
The Internet will have to buy separately and its cost is rather big: 500 MB pulls on 3.51 €, 1 GB - 4,42 €, and 10 GB - 10.12 €.
The standard roaming price for outgoing calls to the first zone, which includes Russia - 1.21 €, for incoming - 0.5999 €. But specifically for those who often call abroad The company has developed a special service "Dodaj Međunarodne Pozive". For 2.02 € per month, you can call in the Russian Federation for 0.182 € / minute.
Communication in Montenegro: T-Mobile (Telekom)
The operator since 2005 belongs to Deutsche Telekom Group. It serves 360 thousand customers, which for less than 700 thousand people live, is an excellent coverage. In addition, he developed quite interesting tariffs. You can buy a SIM card for 5 €, of which only 1 € will fall into account.
Package line is focused mainly on local residents. Tourists can advise to pay attention to the basic options with prepayment. For example, Mix Mreža 15 for 5 €, operating 15 days and gives 500 minutes, 500 sms and 1 GB of traffic.
Given the fairly expensive roaming, and the outgoing call will cost 2.37 € per minute, it may be necessary to separately buy packages on the Internet. For example, "Internet 15" with 5 GB costs only 3.9 €.
Some like "Internet Monster" for 15 days for the same 3.90 €. The peculiarity is that from 8 pm and up to 8 am are provided with 10 GB, and during the day - 2 more GB.
Local cellular operator M: TEL
Mountains - no cellular interference in Montenegro
The youngest and only provider with local roots. It takes about a quarter of the market, but quite confidently competes with the rest of the players. He managed to keep in the market mainly thanks to the tariff policy for customers who prefer prepayment. The main attractiveness M: TEL: starting packets along with the SIM card offer certain bonuses.
For example, "Hello Net" for 5 € gives 1 € to the account and 4 GB of traffic, "MRAK" - unlimited calls and the Internet at night (from 20:00 to 8:00) and 100 minutes for all networks.
There is a special tourist package "M: Tel Turist", but his bonuses are rather weak. When connected, the user receives 100 GBs that need to be spent in 7 days, as well as free Facebook and Twitter.
However, it is necessary to be attentive by choosing the tariff. The fact is that the cost of services at the end of the minutes provided may be different. For example, for "MRAK" one minute of conversation will cost 0.152 €, and calls in all international destinations - 0,864 €. But for "M: Tel Turist" Rates above: 0.224 € and 0.996 €, respectively.
Cards from drimsim - profitable or not
In all mobile operators in Montenegro, the tariffer system is quite confusing. On their background, universal attracts tourists simplicity. The traveler is enough to know that 10 GB of traffic will cost $ 15.36, a call to Russia - 0.9 € per minute, within the country outgoing on mobile numbers - 1.2 €, and in stationary phones - 0,85 €.
Obviously, the price of roaming and traffic from the company is quite competitive. But the conversations inside the country are unreasonably expensive. But if planned, first of all, the use of the Internet, and the Drimsim card is already available, then this option is quite attractive.
Specially buying it for 10 € Total for one trip does not make sense.
Flights from Moscow to Tivat
Aeroflot flies once a day in Chernogorsk Airport, once a week Victory and S7, 3-4 times a week Montenegro Airlines (Flights No. 611, 631). Cost - from 3,300 rubles. one way. Time on the way is about three hours.

Tourists who have decided to visit Montenegro We must know that in this country there is only one provider for providing the Internet, which works through a modem connection and on the dedicated line. With the second embodiment, the advantage of communication is high speed. To connect this type of communication, the firm needs to provide documents on its registration, and a simple man in a residence permit.
Rates in Montenegro on the Internet
When connecting the network, the Internet speed in Montenegro can be high enough, the most popular is the standard option, where up to 10 GB of traffic is connected. This tariff is perfect for work on the Internet. The price of such a connection is somewhat more expensive than in Moscow. Internet in Montenegro is easy enough to connect, it needs to be paid in a special store or use to pay phone bills.
Telephone communication in Montenegro
Telephone operators in Montenegro are highlighted at a high level. You can make a call to anywhere in the world by using a stationary phone. And you can do it anywhere, whether it is your hotel, or an automatic on the street. Of course, from the number of the call to make much easier, because for the machine you need to purchase a special card.
Almost all residents of Montenegro use mobile communications. There are three providers in the country. In addition to mobile communications, since 2009 there is a mobile Internet service that allows you to use video calls. Code of Montenegro among mobile operators: 069; 068; 067. Gradually, the quality of communication becomes better and its reliability is growing, which is very convenient especially for tourists. Mobile communications is available almost everywhere, with the exception of mountain peaks and booming rivers. There are no settlements and cities, therefore the connection is also absent.
The local tariff, of course, will be much more convenient and cheaper in communication. Therefore, if you are planning to communicate often, it is worth getting a SIM card of any of the operators. But if you do not have a desire to acquire a local card, then international roaming is always at your service.

Internet opportunities in Montenegro
More than half of the population use the worldwide network, through the telephone code of Montenegro. Moreover, this type of Internet has a sufficiently high speed, but the connection is possible only in the presence of a landline phone.
In Montenegro, there are three possibilities for connecting the Internet.
- Wi-Fi, which is distributed free of charge for visitors. Such points are gaining popularity, they are distinguished by high connectivity speed and there are no traffic restrictions.
- Modem with an installed SIM card of any mobile operator. Such a network will allow to be in touch anywhere where your device works. The only negative is the speed, it will be high only at the maximum network signal level.
You can purchase a modem from any operator at once with the SIM card upon presentation of your passport. By cons of such a connection, there is a limited amount of information received, each operator has their own traffic.
- Telephone Internet. To connect such an Internet, you need to install a local provider sim card and configure a new connection.
Rates for calls in Montenegro
Calls from Montenegro can be carried out in two ways: call from your operator, configuring international relationship, but it is quite expensive. You can use the Internet from the local operator by selecting a suitable provider. There are only three providers and the telephone code of Montenegro is available for each of them, besides, a regular stationary telephone has its own separate code.
Once in Montenegro, it is possible to determine the operator to communicate without much difficult. At the same time, the presence of telephone and the Internet is very convenient, especially for busy people who are always important in touch.
At any trips, you want the connection to be high-quality and inexpensive. Roaming in Montenegro will cost expensive. It is most profitable to buy a model of a local operator and connect the appropriate package.

Three local operators serve Montenegro:

If you are in the mountains, and the phone does not catch, do not worry. It is enough to drive a couple of kilometers and the connection will be installed again.
Communication and 3G Internet You will have almost throughout the country in any operator.
4G / LTE also offer all three operators, and they have them, but coverage is much smaller. If you are going to spend your vacation, mostly in large cities, then 4G you will have.

If, resting in Montenegro, you do not want to spend on conversations with closest condition, this article is for you. Mobile communication information for tourists gathered Oleg Obukhov.
I see and read how tourists are strained with SIM cards of Chernogorsk operators and connection packages. In the review I will consider two operators: T-Mobile and M: Tel.
Chernogorsk operator T-Mobile
Buy a sim card for 3 € with a balance of 3 €. Ideally, it must be registered in your name, while filling out the registration list on the trading point does not guarantee it (leaflet) to the operator's office.
In the season, operators block unregistered numbers 15 days from the start of use. Hence the conclusion - relax 15 days and less, do not pay attention. More - contact the T-Coma office in your city and fill in the registration list.
Map in standard format with a notch for micro-sim. You need to nano - saw yourself or refer to where the mobile is sold and repaired.
T-Mobile Map is protected by a PIN code (I hope this technology is familiar to you). By installing the card into the phone, first turn off the data transfer. This is important until the end of the setting is because Smartphone loads a lot of data in the background and can instantly spend the card balance.
You can replenish the balance after activation of the map in terminals and stalls with newspapers. It is called "electro not". The minimum amount is admitted now 2 euros.
So, put the map, Introduced the PIN, registered the map on the network. To activate, make one call (without connecting) or send an SMS. Everything, a card is active and ready for configuration.
Balance check * 111 #. This USSD command is called the "Super Menu" and with its help you can see your tariff, change it, connect packets.
Before activating the options, be sure to turn off the data transfer, without the connected options, it is the Internet traffic spending tools. Then select any of the proposed options. You can choose two any of the three. Connecting one option for the first time for free.
In my opinion, the Internet option (3) is relevant, where for 2.90 € you get 1,5GB of traffic for 7 days. Voice calls are consumed less and you can use messenger.
To connect, you need to use the USSD menu * 111 # or send an SMS with the text SURF (for 3 options) to the number 1467. To connect other options to the same number you need to send an SMS MI or SVI.
Only after setting up the package, turn the data transfer on the phone. Also do not forget to follow the distance and the end of the package.
Settings APN for Internet access in the photo. Password 38267.
For those who do not think of recreation without the Internet, there are still on sale sets: USB modem and a SIM card with a certain number of Internet GB. A good alternative to ADSLU, in principle.
The advantages of T-Mobile: a stable network, the best quality of the Internet in a CHG and a good coating in the northern regions of Montenegro.
Chernogorsk operator M: TEL.
In terms of registration, replenish account - the rules are exactly the same as for T-Mobile, so read the first part.
M: Tel-oskie SIM cards come across without a pin-code. I do not know, it is 100% or not, but, in general, challenge. For sure, as with a competitor, after registering on the network (call or message to any number) until the end of the setup, disable Internet access in order to save your credit on the account.
Since June 2016, MTEL operator has introduced new conditions for the Tourist MGOU Treep. Now the SIM card costs 5 €, and in this package you get 500MB already enabled Internet and 2 € on the balance sheet for voice communication and SMS.
The Internet package is valid for 3 days, but for each next balance replenishment (minimum 2 €), the user gets another 300MB for 3 days. These 300MB are activated at midnight, after completing the account. And the replenished balance can be freely spending on SMS and voice calls. If you are enabled on the Internet smartphone, the unlimited package must be connected, otherwise your money will turn into a pumpkin at midnight.
To activate the above-described service, you need to send an SMS to the Turist to number 14555 or activate in the USSD menu * 105 # and only after activation (!) Include data transfer service on your phone.
In this tariff, there are 50% discounts on voice calls to countries from which the bulk of tourists arrive. The service is activated via the USSD menu * 105 #.
Features M: Tel: There are always cheap roaming proposals for Serbia, if you plan to leave there, a good coverage area in Primorye. Of the minuses: poorly covered with the northern part of Montenegro and in the season - trouble with mobile Internet in Primorye.
