Major mobile carriers in Russia have agreed to zero-rate data usage for the domestic Max messenger. Starting August 1, voice calls, messaging, file transfers and other digital services within Max will be free of charge for subscribers of MTS, MegaFon, Beeline and T2. This move is part of the state's effort to promote Max as the primary messaging platform in Russia, following its launch in spring 2025. Max has nearly 70 million daily active users and has overtaken Telegram in May and June.
