Belarus Mobile Shakeup: MTC and A1 Axe Popular Unlimited Data Plans

Major Belarusian Mobile Operators MTC and A1 Discontinue Popular Unlimited Data Plans MINSK, BELARUS – June 5, 2025 – In a move that has surprised many Belarusian mobile phone users, the country's two largest mobile network operators, MTC and A1, have announced the termination of several popular unlimited data plans. The change affects plans such as "Bezlimiticheshe" and "Bez Limita," leaving thousands of subscribers scrambling to find alternatives. According to a recent TikTok video by charter97.org, subscribers who did not proactively switch plans before the deadline were automatically transferred to similar, but potentially more expensive, options. The video highlights the new pricing: MTC's comparable plan, "Bezlimiticheshe," is now priced at 36.90 rubles, while A1's alternative, "Drive Unlim," costs 33 rubles. "This is a significant change for many Belarusians who relied on these affordable unlimited plans," commented a spokesperson from an independent Belarusian technology news website (name withheld for safety reasons). "The lack of clear communication from the providers has left many feeling frustrated and uncertain about their mobile service costs." The sudden shift underscores the evolving dynamics within Belarus's telecommunications market and raises questions about transparency and consumer rights. The government has yet to comment on the situation. The new plans offer similar features but at a higher price point, sparking debate among consumers.
