01/05/20268 min read

Up-to-date comparison of mobile, home internet and TV tariffs in Kazakhstan after the 2026 price increases. Convergent packages from Kazakhtelecom, Kcell, Beeline, Tele2 — prices, GB, speed, channels and real savings.

Tariff Comparison: Mobile, Internet, TV — Choosing the Best in 2026

Tariffs for mobile and internet in Kazakhstan rose by 15–20% at the beginning of 2026, but good deals still exist — especially in convergent “everything-in-one” packages. We compared the latest offers from Kazakhtelecom, Kcell/activ, Beeline and Tele2/Altel specifically for Kazakhstanis: where it is cheaper for a single person, a family or those who need unlimited data.

Why Tariffs Went Up and What Changed in 2026

At the beginning of 2026 all major operators in Kazakhstan raised prices by 15–20%. The reasons are higher costs for equipment, electricity and the explosive growth in mobile internet consumption. Tele2 and Altel increased tariffs from 25 December 2025, Beeline from January 2026, while Kcell has been more cautious. The best solution now is to switch to a package tariff with a long-term contract: the price is fixed for 1–3 years and the first-month discounts can reach 50%.

TOP Operators and Convergent Packages 2026

Kazakhtelecom — number one for “everything-in-one” packages. The most profitable option for a family. Bereket — from 12,999 tenge per month, first months only 6,500 tenge. The package includes unlimited internet up to 500 Mbps, TV+, online cinemas and from two to four mobile SIM cards with 60 GB, unlimited calls within the network and 250 minutes to other networks. Keremet Mobile — from 9,999 tenge per month, first months 5,000 tenge: 500 Mbps, TV Mobile, 60 GB mobile internet and 300 minutes. Keremet TV — from 8,999 tenge per month, first months 4,500 tenge — for those who do not need mobile in the package. Pros of Kazakhtelecom: guaranteed fixed price with a contract, 50% discount on the first month for new subscribers, excellent internet coverage across the country. Cons: maximum benefit requires a three-year contract.

Kcell and activ — strong coverage, especially in major cities. Tariffs from 3,690 to 7,000 tenge and higher per month. Good unlimited options and family offers. Often wins on voice call quality and network stability.

Beeline — convenient convergent tariffs combining home internet, mobile and TV. Wide coverage, promotions allowing you to exchange minutes for gigabytes. After the price rise, tariffs became closer to competitors in cost.

Tele2 and Altel — often offer the most aggressive prices on mobile internet. “Unlimited in Full” — 5,790 tenge for new subscribers with discount, then 7,990 tenge: full 5G unlimited and 250 minutes to other networks. “Unlimited for Everyone” — from 3,790 tenge. Daily unlimited options from 99 tenge. Perfect for those who need maximum traffic for minimal money.

How to Choose a Tariff for Yourself: Checklist

  1. Calculate your real consumption over the last two-three months: how many GB you use, how many minutes you call to other networks.
  2. Decide whether you need digital TV and online cinema subscriptions.
  3. Check coverage and available internet speed at your address on the operators’ official maps.
  4. Decide if you are ready to sign a 1–3 year contract for a fixed price and bigger discount.
  5. Compare the final monthly bill for all services — mobile and home internet together — from different operators.

How to Buy Tariffs Profitably and Safely: Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the official operator websites — telecom.kz, kcell.kz, tele2.kz, beeline.kz — or open their mobile apps.
  2. Enter your address and check technical feasibility for home internet connection.
  3. Choose the right package and connect online — often with free SIM-card and equipment delivery.
  4. When switching from another operator use MNP — number retention is free and takes one-three days.
  5. Set up autopayment so you don’t miss the billing date and watch for personal promotions in the app.
  6. After one-two months check real consumption in your personal account and change the tariff if needed.

Main Mistakes When Choosing a Tariff

Buying an unlimited tariff “just in case” when actual usage is only 10–15 GB per month — overpaying two-three times. Refusing a contract and losing the fixed price — after six months the tariff may rise. Buying mobile and home internet from different operators — overpaying 3–5 thousand tenge monthly compared to a convergent package. Ignoring real 5G coverage and internet speed in your specific area — advertised 500 Mbps may not be available at your address.

How Much You Can Really Save

A family of three-four people paying for services separately spends 18–25 thousand tenge per month. A Kazakhtelecom convergent package costs 10–13 thousand tenge. Savings — 8 to 12 thousand tenge monthly, or more than 100 thousand tenge per year. A single person can manage with 5–8 thousand tenge instead of 10+ thousand with a smart choice of tariff without extras.
