Social networks, watching videos on YouTube and surfing websites consume traffic. The standard number of megabytes may not be enough, so you can order an additional Internet Maxi MTS service. Activated when using any tariff plan, except for the Smart, X, Online line and their varieties.
Option Description
Often, a standard mobile Internet package is not enough for subscribers for the entire billing period, which ultimately leads to data transfer being blocked. The service allows you to expand the established limit for an additional fee by 15 gigabytes for daytime use and full unlimited use at night. This volume is quite enough for active consumption of network resources until the end of this month. The offer is suitable for customers who plan to watch movies and videos in good quality and download large files.
Let's consider the main restrictions, conditions and description of the tariff:
- After successful launch, you will receive a set of network traffic of 15 gigabytes in size to any Internet resources. This package is updated automatically with the onset of a new billing period, subject to timely payment. After the established quota is completed, the limit is expanded by 1 gigabyte.
- The actual data transfer speed may differ from that offered by the provider, this is due to the characteristics of the landscape and weather conditions.
- The function is valid throughout Russia and works when traveling around the country. When located within the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the download speed is limited to 128 kilobits per second. As soon as you exceed the standard limit, the operator permanently blocks access to the network space.
- As a gift, MTS provides unlimited traffic at night from 00.00 to 07.00; mobile Internet during this interval is not subject to tariffs and is free. In order for the data to be calculated correctly, it is advisable to interrupt the session when the operating modes change. Even if you exceed the established volume, unlimited remains at night.
- The provider has set a limit on downloading files using file-sharing networks from 00.00 to 07.00. The speed will be reduced to minimum.
- After activation, you will receive a 30 percent discount on the use of the MTS TV service on the monthly payment and connection fee. Internet quota is not consumed while watching television channels. This promotion is only available once and the premium offer is not available for repeated installations.
- If you do not have time to use up the provided amount of traffic, the remaining balance will be automatically canceled and will not be transferred to the next billing period.

Price
For using the service, the provider will deduct a payment of 800 rubles from the balance every month. The amount is charged automatically on the day the function is activated. If at the time of updating the basic quota and the next payment there are not enough funds in the account, the daily transaction mode of 35 rubles per day is launched, except for contracts from the MTS Connect 4 line. This method will remain in effect until the user has enough money to cover the remaining amounts. If there is no finance within 24 hours, the operator by default blocks access to the network space until the debt is cleared. After changing the subscription fee mode, you will receive a corresponding notification from MTS in the form of an SMS message.
If you are blocked, the monthly fee will be written off when activity is restored. If it has been disabled for the entire month, then no ongoing payment will be charged. When traveling around the country, in conditions of national roaming, an additional 50 rubles are deducted for each day of use.
As part of the option, you will receive 15 gigabytes of traffic per month; during the night time interval, downloaded megabytes are not subject to calculation. If you have used up the entire standard quota, there is an automatic renewal by 1 GB for 150 rubles. The amount is debited immediately after connection. During one settlement period, you are allowed to expand the main limit no more than 15 times. After this, the mobile Internet speed is blocked until the start of a new tariff period. All balances that are not used are burned and are not carried over to the new month.
To disable Internet Maxi, dial USSD code *111*936# or send an outgoing SMS message to service contact “1610” with the text “1”. To restore the previous operating mode, write “2”.

The cost of Internet Maxi from MTS in the Russian capital and Moscow region is 800 rubles/month. In the regions, the monthly fee is different and different everywhere. For example, when connecting to MTS Connect 4 in the operator’s salon in the Sverdlovsk region - 650 rubles, in the Rostov region - 600 rubles. and so on.
The volume of monthly traffic in the regions may also differ from that provided in Moscow and the Moscow Region, indicated above in the description.
Important: if a subscriber leaves the borders of his home region, using mobile Internet costs an additional 50 rubles. per day. The principle of charging for over-limit traffic remains in force.
Terms of Use
The “Maxi Plus” tariff from MTS of the “Maxi” line offers different conditions of use depending on the place of purchase of the SIM card and the user’s home region.
The initial version of the regular payment for using the tariff plan was charged daily, then the regular payment changed to monthly.
Thus, subscribers in the Capital Region pay 170 rubles monthly for using the plan, and subscribers in other regions of Russia pay an average of 150 rubles for a tariff with the same name.
The basic tariff package includes 50 minutes (for metropolitan subscribers) and 150 minutes (for regional subscribers) of outgoing calls per month to all numbers within the mobile operator’s service area for metropolitan subscribers and 150 minutes of outgoing calls per month to MTS throughout Russia for regional subscribers users.
Users in Moscow and the Moscow region were offered the opportunity to purchase additional packages of minutes for communication within their region:
- Package of 50 minutes for a month for 160 rubles.
- Package of 100 minutes for a month for 300 rubles.
- Package of 200 minutes for a month for 560 rubles.
After the basic minute package for outgoing calls has been exhausted, the cost of calls to the numbers of all operators in your region is 3 rubles 50 kopecks for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region and 1 ruble 60 kopecks on average for subscribers in other regions of Russia.
Calls to phone numbers outside your service area after the basic package has been exhausted and SMS costs also vary.
Users in the Moscow region will pay:

The cost of using Internet traffic is 9 rubles 90 kopecks per 1 MB, and also implies the connection of traffic packages that optimize Internet costs.
conclusions
Quite often, old offers actually lose their relevance when you compare them with new tariffs. However, using the example of the “MAXI” line of the MTS operator, you can see that sometimes archived offers can be more profitable.
So, despite the decreasing popularity of the SMS messaging service, in new offers it is impossible to get full unlimited data even within the network of your operator in a particular region.
Also, none of the “Big Three” operators offer unlimited service on their network without additional conditions on package tariffs. Everyone has this unlimited, but only after using a package of minutes.
Additional services
You can add additional options to your tariff.
Unlimited Internet for a day
Unlimited Internet for a day can save a user if he runs out of his Internet megabytes ahead of schedule. In this case, you can order additional unlimited Internet daily, paying for a new unlimited Internet every day when you use it. The cost of such a service is 3.00 rubles/day. To connect it, you need to enter the combination *746# and press “Call”.
Loyalty bonuses
Loyalty gifts are special points that can be converted into real funds. How it works? When using various tariffs and services, you will receive small portions of bonus points, which can later be exchanged and used to pay for TP or additional services. Below is a complete scheme for converting points into a discount:
- 300 points – 1.00 ruble;
- 500 – 2.00 rubles;
- 650 – 3.00 rubles;
- 800 – 4.00 rubles;
- 950 – 5.00 rubles;
- 1600 – 10 rubles.
Simply by taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the MTS operator, you can receive a considerable percentage of cashback back into your account, thus paying for tariff plans.
Traffic accumulation
Traffic accumulation works on a fairly simple principle. The client can connect, which makes it possible to accumulate additional gigabytes of the Internet, postponing them from previous months. You can accumulate Internet only if you have chosen “Super”, “Super 8” and “Super MAX”. In the case of our tariff, the Internet accumulation limit is quite deep - 45 GB. You can activate this service by dialing *305#. The additional cost is 1,043 rubles/month.
What do users say about this option?
Subscribers' opinions are divided: some are very pleased with all the benefits of the option, others are indignant. This is due to the fact that in some areas the connection has been “pumped up” to the maximum, new equipment has been installed, and the support team is working more or less smoothly. In other regions, the operator messes up and down: it connects the service incorrectly, allows constant interruptions in the Internet, and responds very slowly to user complaints, apparently suspecting that it will not be able to help. Meanwhile, the fee is regularly removed, causing justified indignation among subscribers.
If you are eager to use the service, then ask colleagues or friends in your city who are already using it. You can also ask for the opinion of the “inhabitants” of official city portals or social network groups.
