VEON makes the Internet convenient. Already on Google Play and soon in the App Store! One button for everything: How the new Veon application from Beeline works

- This major project from the mobile operator Beeline, a platform that can replace the main access point for owners Android devices. The application perfectly combines functions that simply would not fit in any other program: here is both a high-quality messenger and personal account subscriber, and an assistant in finding interesting content.

It’s impossible to talk about such a powerful and solid product as Veon in a few words. It's worth starting with what it is great program to communicate with friends and family. You will be able to make calls, send voice or regular messages, exchange photos and videos completely free of charge. Moreover this function worked really well, without failures or complaints. The second feature of the tool is its content. The developers have selected the best films and TV series that you can watch absolutely legally in HD format. Also VEON Russia application provides access to popular Russian TV channels online. And most importantly, Beeline subscribers will receive all these gigabytes of traffic as a gift, that is, when using the service they are not taken into account at all! However, this does not mean that subscribers of other mobile operators cannot be installed this program, it works great in any tariff plan.

Unique features of VEON Russia on Android:

In the future, the developers plan not only to expand the scope of their project, but also promise to supplement it with other equally important and the necessary capabilities. But now we recommend download VEON Russia as one of the most powerful and quality services, which accommodates a huge range of diverse functions. And for Beeline subscribers, this application is a must-have, that is, a mandatory attribute of every device, especially those based on Android.

The official launch of the VEON application took place, combining a messenger, Personal Account, info channels, news feed, financial services and much more. Plus special offers, opportunities to save and free Internet traffic within the application for subscribers of all tariff plans.

Beeline asks not to consider the VEON application just another messenger, of which there are enough without it. The application is a multifunctional platform for communication, consuming a variety of content, using services and much more. The messenger is also present there, but it is only one of many elements of the “filling” of the VEON platform.

Shell Morten Johnsen, general manager PJSC VimpelCom, during a press conference, formulated its vision of this platform in just a few words: “VEON is a platform that unites everything that people need in life.” It is clear that the statement is “ringing” and exaggerated, but it gives an idea of ​​the ambitiousness of the tasks that were set.

We can agree with Mr. Johnsen on many things. Of course, in relation to a certain audience of users, but this audience is very large, and is also rapidly growing and expanding. The concept of a single point of access to everything consumed on the network. Let us remember, for example, many VKontakte users, for whom the entire Internet begins and ends with this social network. In VEON this is the concept of mobility, the implementation and approaches are different, but the idea is similar. Will it work? Let's see. In any case, Beeline did a lot to make it work. Both in terms of developing the interface and technical side, and in terms of many additional benefits and “goodies” for subscribers of its network.

For whom and where to get it

On Google Play app available from July 19, 2017, owners of Android devices can download and use. There you can read a description of the main features and advantages.

The appearance of the application in App Store- a matter of days. At least that's what they assure us. That is, it should be about to appear or has already appeared by the time you read this review.

The application is available to subscribers of networks of any operators. And it works, I checked it. Another thing is that subscribers of other operators will have paid traffic within the application, and such clients will not have access to additional benefits and bonuses that Beeline subscribers receive. The developers “unobtrusively” remind you that this grief is easy to help, suggesting that immediately after installing VEON you press the big yellow button to start the procedure for switching to Beeline via MNP.

The application is linked to the number mobile phone, during the registration process, the number is read and an SMS message with a code is sent to it. As I already wrote, the number can be of any operator.

What VEON can do and how it works

A kind of “core” of the application is the central feed, which displays content and all events in chronological order, without the need to “jump” left and right and switch somewhere. VEON allows you to write, call, exchange voice messages, send photos and videos to each other, create group chats, etc. Notifications about your contacts appearing online are also available and working.

For Beeline subscribers, messages and calls (VoIP), as well as Internet traffic within VEON, are not charged. Moreover, for subscribers of all Beeline tariffs. Traffic within VEON is not charged and does not consume the package; in the absence of a package, it is not charged per megabyte. Moreover, they claim that VEON continues to work even at zero and negative balance. I can’t imagine how they managed to implement this, but it sounds tempting: even if you accidentally reset your balance, you stay in touch not only when receiving incoming calls. By the way, VEON should also work for free in intranet roaming.

VEON includes information channels popular online publications, as well as channels with video and photo materials. There are not just many channels, there are a lot of them. Thanks to the predictive platform built into VEON, the content inside the application can be more accurately adjusted to the user’s preferences at the user’s request. There are also dozens of selected films that you can watch without leaving the application, as well as access to the content of popular TV channels. True, in the description I read about the limit on watching videos, no more than 10 (movies?) per week. It needs to be verified experimentally. In the future, they promise the opportunity to subscribe to events that are relevant to the user and “unique information channels of celebrities and brands,” hmm...

Special offers, promotions and discounts on goods and services are available to VEON users. Among the first partners of the application in Russia is an integrated operator that combines the offers of companies specializing in the production and sale of a wide variety of goods and services - fashionable clothes, modern electronics, books, travel and much more. They hope to provide users with offers from Lamoda, BurgerKing, Skyeng, Madrobots, as well as content from Rambler&Co. They also voiced their understanding that Russia is not limited to the territory inside the Moscow Ring Road, and they threaten to supplement the list with local partners such as shops and even bakeries.

For Beeline subscribers, a Personal Account is available in the application for managing services, viewing statistics, making payments, etc. They write that the capabilities of the Personal Account will be expanded. During the first 6 months from the moment of linking a bank card in the application and connecting to Autopay, Beeline subscribers will receive cashback to their Beeline personal account at the end of the month in the amount of 10% of the account replenishment amount. They say that as part of “Beeline special offers” they will give bonus rubles for replenishing their balance.

Active VEON users who send messages in the messenger will be “rewarded” additional packages Internet traffic, from 50 to 100 MB per day depending on the region. And this one additional traffic does not burn at the end of the day, but accumulates and can be consumed throughout the month. Unfortunately, this type of bonus only works on new tariff line“That’s it” (for obvious reasons) and only 6 months after launch.

Judging by what we saw in the presentation, the most popular information about the balance and package balances is easily accessible, as well as replenishing the balance. Many people install the My Beeline application just for this. The promised expansion of VEON functionality will probably make it possible to abandon the special application altogether.

In the future, the Masterpass online service from Mastercard will also be integrated into VEON, which will allow you to link to VEON bank card any bank and pay for purchases in online stores by simply clicking the “Masterpass Payment” button.

Total

I think that the VEON application will be useful to many. Not just one function/feature, but another. The success of such a product largely depends on the number of active users; Beeline understands this very well and has included incentives for connecting to VEON in the project. First of all, of course, this free traffic inside the application (including for watching videos), but there are also other “goodies”, see above.

The VimpelCom company, which owns Beeline, has developed the VEON application. Thanks to it, users can correspond, make calls, watch movies, listen to audio, and find out news that is selected according to the subscriber’s preferences. In addition, through VEON it is possible to receive discount coupons.

The application can be used by subscribers of any operators, but only for Beeline operators traffic is free in home region. In roaming, traffic is paid according to the operator's tariffs. VimpelCom plans to organize a promotion by providing 50-100 MB of daily traffic for free to users who send a message via VEON.

The VEON application is not just a messenger, but a platform that combines many functions. Correspondence can be conducted both personal and group (conferences). You can also make calls, send audio messages, send photos and videos to other users.

VEON has its own information channels. They differ from Telegram ones in that they work as an aggregator on a specific topic. In addition, the channels broadcast feeds of well-known online publications. VEON also has a variety of carefully selected movies. They can be viewed without closing the program. Popular ones available television channels. Beeline subscribers do not need to pay for spent traffic.

For those who use VEON, there are special offers, promotions, and a discount system. Lamoda, BurgerKing, Skyeng, Madrobots, Dizer, MasterCard, and Studio+ cooperate with VEON. The list of partners will constantly increase.

The developers claim that the online service “Masterpass” from MasterCard will soon be integrated into the application. It will allow you to link a bank card to it and make payments for online purchases with the press of one key.

Personal account

The personal account of a subscriber using VEON is very convenient. You can view the details of your account at any time and deposit money into it. All this is immediately displayed in your personal account. The first six months from the moment she was tied bank card and automatic payment is enabled, Beeline users will receive ten percent of the money spent back into their account.

Reviews

The VEON interface is simple and clear. It’s a good idea to combine an application for Internet surfing with a payment service, instant messenger, and a browser for discounts and promotions. A big plus is free calls for Beeline subscribers. You can make calls via Wi-Fi. The program reminds social network. VEON is recommended for all Beeline subscribers.

It is impossible to change the font in the program. People with low vision will find it difficult to use this platform. Otherwise everything is fine. VEON can be confidently given a four plus.

There is no need to pay for the application. The closest analogue of VEON is WeChat, developed in China. IN this application, designed for communication and making electronic payments, seventy percent of Chinese citizens have registered. The 1st version was tested in Italy. Programmers from Russia finalized the application. We tested VEON for several months (in Vladivostok).

» » VEON application from Beeline

At the end of 2016, an application from the Beeline company Veon appeared on the market. Absolutely everyone can use it, but owners of Beeline SIM cards receive bonus opportunities.

What is it for and what functions does the Veon application include?

Veon is another messenger, but this time released mobile operator. The application is free, but is only available on phones and tablets under Android control and iOS. That is, there is no version for the computer. Clients of any operator (Megafon MTS, Yota, etc.) can install and use the messenger, but Beeline clients have special conditions.

With Veon, the user can:

All actions performed in the application (sending messages, calls, watching movies, etc.) are carried out only through mobile internet or Wi-Fi network, so how much money will be withdrawn from your balance will depend only on the amount of traffic spent.

You can download the Veon app for free in the store Play Market(for Android) or in the App Store (for IOS). A direct link to the application can be obtained at official page Veon by entering your phone number. Installed application will take approximately 128 MB. It will also be updated occasionally, which indicates that the company is actively developing the application and has not abandoned it.

Special benefits for Beeline subscribers

If your device from which you will use Veon uses a Beeline SIM card on which mobile Internet is connected, then you will receive the following bonuses:

• all traffic sent and received through the application will not be charged. That is, watching videos, sending messages, making calls will not affect your traffic and balance in any way;
• You can use all services of the application with a zero or negative balance;
• in one of the tabs you will find a personal account through which you can manage your tariff, balance, additional services, etc. Thanks to this, you will not have to additionally install “My Beeline” or use the official website to control the number.

For other operators, traffic spent within the application will be charged according to the tariff used. The above preferential conditions for Beeline users are valid only in Russia; in roaming conditions may differ depending on your location.

Bonus from Mastercard

By linking your bank account Mastercard and by activating the “Autopay” function, you will receive 10% cashback on each payment. That is, 10% of the top-up amount will be returned to your card within six months.

What Veon can't do

Since Veon positions itself as a modern messenger, it would be logical to compare it with other popular messengers. Unlike them, Veon does not support sending files via messages. The application has the ability to read channels that provide newsletters, but you will not be able to create your own channel (group, community), there is no such function.

For some reason, you can only use the application from one account on one device. If you enter your account from another device, the first device will be automatically logged out. This is not very convenient if you use Veon from both your phone and tablet at the same time.

Perhaps another disadvantage is the smaller audience coverage, since the application is just beginning to develop and is mainly intended for Beeline users; it cannot be included in the tops of popular instant messengers.
