Veon Group has announced that its Russian operator Beeline is to partner with Yandex.Plus for the launch of their first joint tariff plan. The plan, branded "People closest to you with Yandex.Plus", is a bundle of minutes, internet and unlimited messages, along with access to the video-streaming service Kinopoisk, Yandex Music and cashback points on other Yandex services.
The joint tariff plan is built on Beeline's flagship "People closest to you 2" consumer offering that includes unlimited on-net calls, hundreds of minutes per month for calls to any number, unlimited access to messengers and dozens of gigabytes for general internet use. Under the "People closest to you with Yandex.Plus" tariff, users of the Yandex services will not use their main traffic package for Yandex services, allowing them to watch films and TV or listen to music and podcasts without limits.
Svetlana Kirsanova, executive vice president of Beeline, said that the tariff with Yandex Plus is now a pilot, but the company expects to be able to introduce more joint projects as early as next year.
