All major carriers.
In June 2022, Russian telecom operators began not to issue SIM cards, but to sell them. Previously, when buying a SIM card, as a rule, it was necessary to put a minimum amount on the balance, which went towards the tariff. Now telecom operators in Russia charge extra money for the SIM card itself.
In June, payment for SIM cards was introduced by MegaFon, MTS, Beeline and Yota. The TELE2 operator plans to charge for SIM cards from August 1, 2022. Most mobile operators began selling SIM cards from the end of June 2022. For example, Beeline introduced a fee for SIM cards from June 21, MTS from June 24, 2022.
The situation is associated with an increase in the cost of SIM cards for telecom operators. All of the above operators bought SIM cards abroad, but earlier in European countries, and now they have to buy in Asian countries due to sanctions. In Russia, SIM cards are not mass-produced.
