Monthly SMS packages
Not all provider tariff plans come with a set of free messages. Therefore, in order to save on correspondence, the only way out is to activate additional packages of letters. There are currently 4 categories of this offer, which differ from each other in size:
Set size | Monthly payment. | USSD connection combination | Sending a request to “111” | Cancellation via SMS to “111” |
100 pieces. | 120 rub. | *111*0100# | 0100 | 00100 |
300 pcs. | 210 rub. | *111*0300# | 0300 | 00300 |
500 pcs. | 260 rub. | *111*0500# | 0500 | 00500 |
1000 pcs. | 340 rub. | *111*01000# | 01000 | 001000 |
All listed names are valid only in the territory of the contract area. Outside the region of registration, the price is calculated taking into account tariffs for roaming, intercity or international. From the given values, it is noticeable that the more messages you spend, the cheaper they will cost you. For use, you must pay a subscription fee for each specific offer. It is automatically debited from the consumer’s mobile account at the time of installation and then every month on the first day.
Unspent SMS are not transferred and are burned automatically. The option is available to all MTS customers and is compatible with most tariff plans for individuals, except for “My Unlimited”, “Ultra” and “Smart Nonstop”. All listed sets work only separately from each other. Simultaneous use of several kits is not allowed.
If you want to deactivate the kits, you can use any standard method: through your personal account, in the My MTS mobile utility, with the help of qualified specialists in the support center, by calling the toll-free line 0890, or by sending a request.
Attention! To check your free balance, dial USSD *100*1#.
Description
Not long ago, the MTS operator offered its customers who like to communicate via SMS a special option that involves including a package of messages. The cost of one shipment depends on the selected package. Of course, the wider the package, the more messages it includes, and the more expensive it is. For Moscow, the cost of SMS packages is as follows:
- 50 pcs. – 70 rub.;
- 100 pieces – 120 rubles;
- 300 units – 210 rub.;
- 500 – 260 rub.;
- 1000 – 340 rub.
In this case, the subscription fee is withdrawn in full, i.e. the amount is withdrawn one-time during the activation process and subsequently - on the 1st of each month. The services are mutually exclusive, i.e. it is impossible to activate several options at the same time.
Connecting to the option is most convenient and expedient to do through a special assistant. To do this, you need to send a message to 111 containing the command:
- 050 – for connecting 50 pieces;
- 0100 to activate one hundred messages;
- 0300 in order to receive 300 units;
- 0500 to connect 500 SMS;
- 01000 – 1000 SMS.
The user also has access to the USSD service. It involves dialing the combination: *111* packet code # (message 050, 0100, 0300, 0500, 01000, respectively). To obtain information about the balance of available messages and the time period of their validity, you need to dial *1001# or contact the operator’s official resource.
Thus, the cost of a message on MTS depends on the package chosen by the client. It can be zero, fixed, or depend on the sequence number of the text being sent. The greater the number of services included in the tariff, the cheaper it is, as a rule, to send one SMS.
One-time SMS packages
Such applications require a one-time payment; they are not renewed or updated automatically every month. This is an excellent solution for Mobile TeleSystem consumers who plan to send a large number of letters at a certain period. Currently there are only three offers with different volumes:

50 | 75 | *111*444*50# | 50 SMS 150 SMS 300 SMS | |
150 | 200 | *111*444*150# | ||
