How to stay in touch
Calls. With the limitations of mobile Internet, you can use normal voice communication. Warn loved ones: “If you do not answer in messengers – call or text.” SMS. Mobile Internet is not needed to send them. Wi-Fi. If possible, connect to home and other trusted Wi-Fi networks. According to the Ministry, the restrictions should not affect their work. The white list will continue to work even if the mobile Internet is limited. Keep important phone numbers, addresses and documents on your device in advance so you can use them without the Internet.
Money: how to withdraw, where to store and how to pay
Cash. You can shoot without the Internet in three ways: at an ATM with an NFC (bring a phone or sticker and enter a PIN code), at the bank's office on a passport or through a cashout at the store's cash register (buy any goods and ask for an amount). It is better to withdraw cash in advance.
Card payment. An ordinary plastic card with a chip works offline: data is stored on a chip, the terminal reads them without the Internet. If the terminal does not have a connection, the transaction does not disappear, but ends up in an offline buffer and will go to the bank later when the Internet appears. But if the terminal in the store is configured only online, payment will not pass.
Translated by text. To transfer money from Sberbank to Sberbank, send a message to the number 900: Transfer - space - mobile phone number of the recipient - space - amount of transfer.
