The most expensive tariff (15 GB of traffic and 1,500 minutes of calls) will cost 1,000 rubles per month.
When the main traffic package is exhausted, Let's Talk subscribers can additionally purchase 1 or 3 GB for 30 days for 125 or 240 rubles, respectively. If the user exhausts the available call minutes, then calls to numbers in the home region will cost 1.5 rubles per minute, to other regions - 5 rubles.
