We arrived in Baku at night. We decided not to change the currency at the airport. The taxi driver offered to purchase a local Sim card. We decided to take two. We stopped at a gas station on the way. At a separate counter, the young man checked his passport, took the phones and immediately shoved the SIM cards in, then offered to choose a 20 GB tariff for 50 manats, something for 75 manats and 85. Payment turned out to be only in cash. I had to change $ 100 from him for 167 manats and get 67 manats in change (( To be honest, 5000+ is not economical at all. At the same time, this tariff costs 20 manats on the website. It turns out that we were divorced before we arrived. Be vigilant))
Expensive communication in Azerbaijan and the most expensive operator.
But not much has fallen in price lately.
The communication quality is not bad.
I have been using my number of this operator since 2000.
30 manats for phone registration, then this is to the Azerbaijani authorities.
They don't have enough money from oil and gas.
Okay, the local population is being forced to pay, what do tourists have to do with it?
Every time you have to change the phone so that it is cheaper to use the already expensive connection?!
If you stay in roaming, then you do not need to register, but then there will be a frenzied connection fee.
Wi-Fi is not everywhere.
The worst quality of the Internet, the high price, the need to register an email, the fee. Overall, the impressions are negative. And how to forget, everywhere they try to cheat, breed and profit
