How to activate roaming on MTS - instructions, command number

When traveling abroad, every MTS subscriber thinks about what to do with mobile communications.
Naturally, communication will be more expensive than at home. However, there is an alternative, for example, using messages instead of calls. You can convey quite a lot in a message and still stay in touch. MTS offers to connect “SMS packages when traveling around the world.” This will cost in the range from 250 to 700 rubles , while the user pays exclusively for connecting the service, there is no subscription fee. The service will cost less if you connect a larger number of SMS messages.

The subscriber can exchange messages with users of absolutely any mobile networks, while being anywhere in the world.

MTS SMS roaming: how to connect?

You can connect SMS roaming on MTS in several ways convenient for you. So, for example, you can:

1. On your mobile phone, dial a key combination like “*111*124#” + “Call”
2. Send a completely free SMS message to the number “111” with the text “124”
3. Use the electronic self-service system “Internet Assistant”

The cost charged for the connection service is 135 rubles including VAT.

If for certain reasons you forgot whether you turned off the SMS roaming service on your phone after arriving from a long trip abroad, you can always check the availability of an active option by sending an SMS message to the number “8111” with empty text or use the already familiar “ Internet assistant."

Options for calls and SMS abroad

Among the services offered for roaming abroad, MTS has developed several advantageous offers. Options for calls and messages include the following:

1. Zero without borders.
2. Free travel.
3. Outgoing calls from 19.9 rubles.
4. SMS package.

In addition, there are services that will reduce traffic costs abroad. Of course, the cost of traffic abroad will differ significantly from the basic Internet tariff on your home network, but without the connected option, the prices will be even higher. Now we need to consider each offer from MTS in more detail.

Zero without limits

will not work if the user is in Russia. In other words, the service will be activated only after switching to international roaming, and the connection is carried out in the CIS countries. The service is intended for communication only. Other mobile services, in the form of messages and the Internet, will be provided at standard prices.

The optional subscription fee will be 95 rubles. Funds are written off every day, but for this money there will be the following advantages:

1. An outgoing call for the first minute will cost the cost provided by the host country, and starting from the second and up to the 5th minute, the payment will be 25 rubles per minute. Subsequent tariffs will be according to the prices of the host country.
2. As for incoming calls, calls will not be charged for up to 10 minutes, and then the payment will be 25 rubles per minute.

There are certain restrictions that need to be taken into account:

1. You are credited with 200 free minutes per month for making calls. If the limit runs out, then payment for incoming calls will be 25 rubles for each minute of communication.
2. To check the remaining free minutes, use the code *419*1233#.

If you are satisfied with the offer, then you can safely connect it, use the following methods:

• Use combinations *111*4444# or *444#. These requests can only be used within Russia.
• You can also connect the option via SMS to number 111, code 33 is indicated in the body of the letter. The connection method is suitable for anywhere in the world, but the tariff will be according to the prices of the host country; in Russia there is no charge for SMS.
• The last connection method is to use your personal account on the MTS website.

If the service has become unnecessary, it can be disabled as follows:

1. An SMS is sent to 111, with the code 330 indicated in the body of the letter.
2. You can use your personal account for quick deactivation.
3. A service request is sent *111*4444#.

Disabling is necessary upon returning home so that the subscription fee is not charged.

Free travel

This option will allow you to call any number in Russia, as well as receive calls in international roaming completely free of charge, starting from the first minutes of communication. According to the terms of the service, clients have the opportunity to use 60 minutes per day to make calls to Russia and receive incoming referrals while in another country. If the limit is exhausted, then you will have to pay 10 rubles every minute. You can find out the list of countries in which Free Travel will operate on the MTS website.

As for payment, it will be charged every day and will amount to 190 rubles. The cost may seem high, but for those who value communication, this is a very good deal. To check the balance of accrued minutes, you can use your personal account or the combination *100*1#.

If the conditions are suitable, then you can choose any activation method and, using it, enable the option for saving:

1. You can use your personal account to connect yourself.
2. Use the service request entered on the phone *111*943#. Next, in the open menu you need to select the required item.
3. Send a text message to 111, with text 943.

You can activate the service at any convenient time, even while abroad. All connection methods are free in Russia, as well as abroad. When you arrive home, it is recommended to deactivate the offer to maintain your balance. For this, methods similar to connection are used, but when using SMS, the code 9430 is indicated in the body of the letter.

Outgoing calls from 19.9 rubles

To receive preferential rates for calls from abroad to Russia and within the host country, you must use the request *137*. After this, the discount on calls will be activated, and the cost of a minute of an outgoing call will be from 19.9 rubles. Detailed information by country can be found on the MTS website. Billing for this service will be per minute and starts working from the very beginning of communication.

To make calls on favorable terms, it will be enough to enter the combination *137*number of the called subscriber in international format. This offer is available only to individuals, and corporate tariff customers will not be able to use the offer. After entering the number using this method, clients will receive a message that the request has been accepted and they need to wait a little, then they will make a call, which they need to answer and wait for a connection with another subscriber. The service does not work on all tariff plans, so before using it you will need to check the details on the website or with the operator. The client to whom the call is made will pay for the conversation at standard rates.

SMS package

Not all people want to talk while abroad, but sometimes communication needs to be maintained. In this case, MTS offers to use message packages that can only work in European countries, as well as around the world. All packages are one-time, so after the accrued messages are exhausted, you will need to connect again. The following packages are available for connection:

1. If your stay is in Europe, then 50 SMS are provided at a price of 250 rubles. To connect, use the request *111*1104# or a message by phone 111, with the text 1104.
2. There is also a package for Europe, which includes 100 SMS, at a price of 350 rubles. To activate such a service, you need to enter the request *111*1103# on your phone or write a message to 111, indicating the code 1103 in the body of the letter.
3. If the trip is all over the world, then a package of 50 SMS can be used to send from anywhere in the world, the cost of which will be 500 rubles. Activation takes place via request *111*1102# or via SMS to number 111, code 1102 is indicated in the body of the letter.

To control the balance of messages, use the request *100*2#, and data will also be provided on the remaining days of operation of the selected package of messages.

Cost of SMS in MTS roaming

The price of SMS in roaming of the mobile operator MTS, as a rule, completely depends on the country of residence of the subscriber.

IMPORTANT: All information on countries and prices for roaming is located on the official website of MTS LLC.

Recently, the company has introduced a rule of no tariffs for incoming SMS anywhere in the world. For this reason, you don’t have to worry that an SMS from your friend may lead to money being debited from your mobile account.

Non-CIS countries incur the highest costs for sending SMS. For example, today you can send an SMS to India, a fairly popular tourist country, for 19 rubles. To Yemen – the same 19 rubles. To Turkey and Egypt - for 10 rubles.

How it works?

If you have a phone, your phone should automatically register with the network if you are within the coverage area of ​​a network with which you have a roaming agreement. If this does not happen, you need to install the network manually.

To do this you should:

• Turn off your mobile phone before crossing the border with another country and turn on the phone after crossing the border. In case of automatic registration, the name of the local GSM operator will appear on the device display.
• If automatic registration does not occur, you need to install the network manually (through the device menu in accordance with the instructions for using the phone). Find and select the “Networks” or “Select a cellular network” option, then search for new networks. A list of codes and/or names of local GSM operators should appear on the display, and then select a network.

To cancel the service, you must send an SMS message to the number 0870249 containing the Latin

the letter "
r " or " R ".
Upon successful deactivation of this service, the subscriber receives a confirmation message of the form “Usluga “SMS Roaming” uspeshno udalena”. After canceling the service, the subscriber must re-register in the network by turning off and turning on the device again. For the service to function, the following conditions must be met:

• Availability and “International access”;
• The device has been configured correctly to send short messages (Short message center number +375 29 777 0000
  .

The phone number to which the message is sent must be entered in international format: +375 29 7 XXX XXX.

Please note that the connection disables all voice calls, data transfer and all other services except SMS, even when within the coverage area of ​​the Mobile TeleSystems JLLC network.

In this regard, we recommend adding the service immediately before crossing the border, but on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, or before boarding at the airport. If present at the same time, it will be automatically deleted. To activate voice calls, you must disable . Please note that when canceling this service, the settings for forwarding, waiting, call barring and the password for accessing voice mail are reset; outside the settings you need to do it again.

SMS package in roaming on MTS

If you are an active tourist abroad or near you, you are invited to choose an excellent SMS package! The rule here is simple: The larger the package provided for the promotion, the lower the price of payment.

If you are heading to Europe

A traveler can connect to two types of packages, which differ in the number of possible messages.

Eventually

As you can see from the table, the savings are very, very significant. If you send more than 1-2 messages during the entire trip, then I definitely recommend connecting to one of the packages.

If you often travel to different countries or go on business trips abroad for work, then you probably need to constantly keep in touch with loved ones. The MTS SMS package abroad allows you to communicate no matter where you are. With a variety of useful mobile packages, you can receive calls or respond to messages at any time. The tariff will significantly save the cost of mobile communications while traveling.

Pros and cons of this service package

The main advantage of the service is that the package includes services for any operator in the world at an affordable, competitive price. After payment you receive a certain number of messages. An important point is to save sms in case of connecting to another tariff. They are summed up and in this case extended.

The only drawback is the limited use of messages. If they are not used completely within a month, they will burn out. According to customer experience, 50-100 SMS is enough for exactly a month.
