What is the difference between Rostest and Eurotest?

In principle, nothing.
The concept of Eurotest appeared in Russia when a stream of so-called "gray" technology rushed into the country. This does not mean that it is of poor quality. This means that this equipment was imported to Russia bypassing the official supply channels.
Thus, the "gray" devices do not have a warranty from the manufacturer, but they are necessarily covered by the guarantee of the store where you bought it. (usually about a year).

Sometimes it loses the network, what to do?

There is such a not very pleasant glitch on some older firmware. It is extremely rare, manifests as a complete loss of the network. To be treated by rebooting or turning off the flight mode, or updating the firmware. (hold the power button ->flight mode). But, in most cases, the problem on the operator’s side is solved from changing the sim card to changing the operator.

Help, after buying a phone, money began to leave the account!

There can be several reasons:
  1. You just do not have enough internet traffic. Connect a large package, or turn off the data transfer. (hold the power button ->data transfer).
  2. Check your internet settings. Perhaps you are connected to the wrong rate, and for this you are charged money. This problem has often been observed in the operator KYIVSTAR.
  3. Check if you are subscribed to any paid subscription with the operator?
  4. Put dr web from the play market, and check the entire phone, you may have a virus.
