How to connect an additional Internet package to MTS

People today depend on the Internet and spend more and more time on it. It has literally become an integral part of the life of society. Requests are constantly growing, and mobile data operators often cannot keep up with the flow of new subscribers and their demands. Often, tariffs that were relevant a year ago are hopelessly outdated. People absolutely do not have enough Internet traffic, minutes and SMS messages. The shortage of mobile Internet available with the basic package is especially acute. To extend it, mobile operators use a number of special services and options that can enable unlimited service for a certain period or increase speed. This material will discuss in detail how to extend traffic on MTS, in what situations it is necessary to add Internet and what options exist to increase the available gigabyte package.

When do you need to extend Internet traffic on MTS?

If a person is a subscriber and often uses the Internet, he has probably often encountered the fact that the main Internet package has run out and in order to replenish it he must wait for a new billing month. Below we will consider ways to help replenish the package of available gigabytes, and the subscriber will be able to choose which offer suits him in terms of finances, available Internet traffic or connected tariff plan.

The vast majority of tariffs that provide traffic limit it to a certain number of megabytes or gigabytes, as well as the permissible speed. As soon as the available quantity runs out, the speed immediately drops and the Internet becomes impossible to use. To ensure that this does not happen and the speed is at maximum, the cellular data operator MTS provides profitable services for its extension.

Important! Subscribers who actively use the global network are provided with the “Turbo Button” functions with the ability to order 100 MB, 500 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 5 GB and even 20 GB of Internet traffic, which makes it possible to always be “online” and solve their problems. urgent tasks, communicate and just have fun.

You should take advantage of these offers if:

The volume of Internet traffic provided at the basic tariff is not enough for comfortable spending time on the Internet.
A person cannot or does not want to wait for the end of the month (billing period) when the main Internet packages arrive.
Additional traffic is not always needed, at certain times.
Internet speed has dropped, and it is simply impossible to switch to even the simplest website in terms of design.
Access to the World Wide Web was cut off at the most inopportune moment.

Which service is better to choose?

Each cellular user, if necessary, can independently add traffic to access the network. The more megabytes are provided in the purchased package, the more expensive the service.

If a subscriber rarely uses mobile Internet and the traffic included in the tariff plan is enough for him, but sometimes he has to go beyond it, it is recommended to use one-time packages from the “Extend Speed” line.

Active users who constantly lack the package gigabytes of the main tariff due to watching movies, downloading audio and video files are recommended to purchase additional traffic with auto-renewal of 5 GB.

Conditions for receiving additional megabytes to your account

How to connect MTS Internet for a modem: choosing a tariff and conditions

Additional services are most often paid for. This also applies to ordering additional megabytes or gigabytes. In order for a person to use them, all conditions must be met. Fortunately, there are not so many of them:

You must have a sufficient amount of funds in your subscriber account. If it is not there, then there will be nothing to pay, and the service will not be able to be activated. Most of them work on the prepayment method. Postpaid is used by a small number of mobile data operators.
The cellular network and data transfer function within it must be activated. Also, the phone itself must support at least one of the 2G, 3G or 4G LTE communication standards. If a person has previously used the Internet, then his device supports access to the network on one or more standards, and therefore this condition can be omitted.
Connect the desired tariff plan. If the TP does not assume that the subscriber will go online, then additional Internet traffic will not help here. You should choose the package that suits you and find out its cost in your home region.

Important! It is worth remembering that the number of available services, as well as their cost and charging procedure may vary significantly from region to region. The connected tariff also plays an important role here. On some of them, certain options for auto-renewal of traffic are not available. The renewal itself occurs literally instantly after payment.

Conditions under which you can extend your mobile internet

In order for additional gigabytes to be connected, a number of conditions must be met:

Additional traffic is connected only after the main megabytes have run out .
If at the time of debiting the subscription fee there are not enough funds on the user’s personal account, then despite the fact that the additional traffic has not yet ended, the Internet will be blocked until the required amount for debiting appears on the number’s balance .
If, while using additional traffic, the next monthly volume of main traffic is accrued, then the additional one is suspended . It can be renewed only if the main volume is quickly used up, and the expiration date of the additional one has not exceeded the 30-day mark.

Options for increasing traffic:

There are plenty of options on how to add Internet to MTS. Of particular interest is the "Turbo Button", which provides a certain number of megabytes or gigabytes for a fixed time.

How to find out how much Internet is left on MTS via the Internet: USSD commands

"Turbo button for 100 MB." Offers 100 megabytes of traffic for 30 rubles. Activation occurs one day from the moment the payment is received in the subscriber's account. To connect:

Perform a USSD request *111*05*1#.
Send an SMS message with code “05” to number 5340.
In the “My MTS” mobile application, go to the section where the “Turbo button for 100 MB” option is selected.

"Turbo button for 500 MB." It already provides 500 megabytes of Internet for 95 rubles. Unlike the previous option, it is activated for 30 days (1 month). After the end of the period of use, the service is disabled automatically. To activate, use similar methods:

USSD combination *167#. The fastest method that instantly debits money and provides megabytes.
By sending an SMS message with the code “167” to the number 5340. It also works immediately.
In the “My MTS” mobile application, go to the section where the “500 MB turbo button” option is selected.

"Turbo button for 1 GB." Makes it possible to extend the main tariff plan for a whole gigabyte of Internet traffic for 185 rubles. Like the previous option, it is activated for up to 30 days and works during this time. It is also possible that traffic will be completely depleted before this time. In any case, the option will be disabled automatically. It is connected by entering the appropriate USSD combination *467#.

Important! Any option from MTS is available to all subscribers and operates at the highest possible speed. Only in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug its speed does not exceed 128 Kbit/s. If a person is roaming, then the “Button” continues to operate, but provides services according to the terms of the tariff plan when located in another region of Russia or abroad.

"Turbo button for 2 GB." It already gives 2 gigabytes of Internet traffic for 250 rubles. The option is activated in the same way - for 30 days and at full speed. It will be canceled automatically after a month or when traffic ends. Switching on is carried out:

By entering the USSD request *168#.
By selecting the operator’s official application “My MTS”.

"Turbo button for 5 GB." It already provides an impressive 5 gigabytes of Internet for 350 rubles for one month. To connect, send the combination *169# or go to the appropriate section in your personal account on the MTS website or in the “My MTS” mobile application.

"Turbo button for 20 GB." The most voluminous offer is 20 gigabytes for 900 rubles for a whole month. At the moment, MTS does not offer more additional Internet. You can, of course, order all services at the same time. In this case, their traffic will be summed up, and the expiration date will be counted from the date of activation of the last option. You can activate the “Turbo button” for 20 GB like this:

Service team *469#.
SMS message with code “469” to number 5340.
A special section in your personal account on the operator’s website or in the mobile application (you must be authorized).

Important! Regardless of whether a person spends all the purchased megabytes (gigabytes), or whether they hang until the end of the billing period, all Internet traffic will burn out after a day for the “100 MB” option and after a month for all other offers. It will not be able to be transferred, but will simply turn off automatically.

Offers for Smart TP: description

can be connected only once, and in the future it will automatically provide the subscriber with five hundred MB of mobile Internet for 75 rubles.

This applies to all tariffs, with the exception of Smart:

Non-stop.
Top.
Plus.

Users of these packages receive 1 GB for 150 rubles when the basic traffic is used up. Subscribers have the right to use a total of seven bonus GB per month. The option can be disabled if necessary.

It is very convenient to cancel services through your personal account. To enable “Smart for yours”, use the following requests:

*111*526# - to connect five hundred megabytes for seventy-five rubles;
*111*527# - to connect one gigabyte for 120 rubles.

The second method is to send a text message to the service number. When you first connect, the subscription fee will be charged immediately in full for the entire calendar month. In the future, debits will be made on the day this option is activated. You can check your MB balances within this option by requesting *217#. One important nuance must be taken into account: if you do not spend the entire amount of mobile traffic, the remaining balance will be burned out. Therefore, you must initially correctly calculate your needs so as not to overpay for unnecessary MB.

from MTS

The operator also has a “Turbo night” option. It works only for those subscribers who use the “Unlimit-Mini”, “Unlimit-Maxi”, “Unlimit-Super” or “Unlimit-VIP” tariffs. Its key advantages are that:

It cancels any restrictions on the speed of interaction with the network, even in cases where the daily or monthly limit of a person’s unlimited plan occurs.
It blocks all restrictions on the amount of available Internet traffic that apply to the main tariff plan.
It operates on the basis of prepayment for daily use and is deactivated independently.
The option provides favorable payment every month.
Valid at night, namely from two o'clock in the morning to eight in the morning every day.

Methods for connecting and disconnecting on MTS

The cost from MTS is only 49 rubles per month, and its disconnection from any available tariff plan is free. Connection by analogy with other additional options can be carried out:

By USSD service command *111*776#.
Via SMS with code “776” to 111.
Through your personal account (the path coincides with the activation of other additional options).

Important! The price for outgoing SMS messages to the operator’s service number is 0 rubles. When you are in roaming, it is calculated as follows: 0 rubles + the price for sending messages according to your tariff in roaming (online, national or international).

Megafon speed auto renewal

For some tariff plans (for example, the “All Inclusive” package), automatic renewal of the speed is installed, at which activation of the renewal service is not required, but during the month it is permissible to use only 15 additional Internet packages with a capacity of 200 MB each.

Information about the “Auto speed renewal” option.

One such package can be purchased for 30 rubles, which is quite expensive for some users and they want to disable this option.

Well, it can be done this way:

Completely free, send the text “0” to the number 05001133 and this option will no longer be in the list of services connected to your number.

Send a USSD request *105*1133# , ending it with a call button.

Or order deactivation of this service through your Personal Account.

Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Disconnect.

How to check the remaining MTS traffic

It is important to always monitor your traffic and its available quantity. If you do this competently and manage it wisely, you won’t even need to contact your operator with a request to connect additional Internet packages. If the additional option is already activated, you should still regularly check how many packages are left, what they were used for, and other nuances.

The check can be done in several ways:

Using the USSD service command.
By sending SMS to a special number.
Through your personal self-service account.

As for the first method, everything is simple. If a person is a subscriber with “Smart” or “MTS Connect” tariffs (it does not matter whether it is “Mini”, “Maxi”, “Top” or “Vip”), then the verification can be performed using a USSD request *111 *217#. If the basic tariff provides for an Internet traffic package, which is included in the subscription fee, then you will need to send a universal request *100*1#. For some tariff plans, this combination changes to *100*2#.

It's even easier with SMS. All you need to do is send a question mark “?” as a code to service number 5340. Within a few seconds or minutes, a response message will be received with the number of remaining gigabytes, call minutes and SMS.

The last method is based on using a personal account or the “My MTS” mobile application. The verification algorithm is as follows:

Go to the official website mts.ru or the application for smartphones and tablets.
Log in using your credentials. If you don’t have an account, then quickly register.
Open the “Mobile Communications” section and find the “Number Management” option there.
Among all the available options for checking, select “Internet traffic”.
Wait for the page to open, which will provide all the necessary information on the number of remaining days of use, gigabytes, minutes, messages and balance.

After this, you can close the site or exit your personal account by clicking on the appropriate “Exit” button.

Regional additional traffic and commands for them

Although the cost of packages of additional megabytes may differ in different regions, the operator has established standard volumes and commands that can be used to activate them in all regions of the Russian Federation.

An example of the provision of the “Extend the Internet” service in the Magadan region.

Also, similar programs may operate in some parts of the country, which you can learn about from the primary source - the Megafon company website. So in Magadan you can connect an additional 500 MB at high speed using the command *370*3*1# .

USSD request in Magadan.

How to disable additional Internet

With the question of how to add traffic to MTS, they are also looking for ways to disable it. Most often, additional Internet is provided on Smart tariffs. If there is no need for it, then it can be disabled. To do this, enter the appropriate combination *111*936#. If connected, then simply send an SMS with the code “1” to number 2520. All actions can be done in your personal account.

Important! If it is connected, it will be impossible to disable it. You will have to use up all the traffic provided or simply forget about it. When it is exhausted or after 30 days, the option will turn off on its own.

Checking balances

There are quite a few ways that you can use to control the balances of Internet packages. The easiest option is to use the personal account functionality on the company’s web page. You can download the convenient “My MTS” application to your smartphone or tablet. It offers the same features as your account. The third method, which most subscribers use, is short USSD requests. This way you can add or cancel a particular service if necessary.

We eliminate the causes of traffic loss

The following tips apply to owners of personal computers. When a user is connected to the Internet using unlimited home Internet, he does not notice the part of the traffic that is used for other purposes. Especially if the speed through such a connection is several tens of megabits. However, when connecting to the Internet via cellular communication, you will have to check your PC for traffic leaks. We can recommend the following methods:

Download and install a reliable antivirus (for example, Avast or Kaspersky Free) on your computer - scan your computer for viruses. Some malicious software is capable of exchanging information with external resources, which directly affects the leakage of mobile traffic.

As an addition to your installed antivirus, you can install a program called Malwarebytes, with which you can provide your computer with additional protection against virus programs

Advertising is consuming your traffic! Using the Adblock Plus plugin, you will stop the flow of traffic associated with loading advertising banners, and also create the most favorable conditions for the perception of content on the pages.

A high-quality application with which you can control traffic is also a good tool.

In addition to the above, I would like to say that visiting suspicious sites, forums and other resources, as well as downloading unknown programs, clicking on advertising links that say that your computer is susceptible to a threat, can lead to leakage of mobile traffic flows.

Such instructions are seen by a huge number of users, but still many inexperienced users make the same mistakes that ultimately lead to them losing access to their emails, accounts on social networks, having funds stolen from their electronic wallets, etc. .

Not only personal computers are susceptible to traffic leakage, but also mobile phones and tablets. In this case, it is much easier to control traffic and prevent it from leaking. This is done by installing applications from official sources.
