Internet tariff Mini MTS how to connect on your phone

Internet Mini MTS - tariff description

Internet Mini MTS is the youngest of the tariffs developed by the operator for access to the World Wide Web. The option is available to users who have chosen the MTS Connect line. The connection itself is free, but you must have funds on your account to charge the subscription fee. Although the name of the service package contains the word “mini”, the number of gigabytes provided by the operator is not so meager - from 3 to 8 GB. The tariff is valid both in the native region and throughout the Russian Federation.

Subscribers usually purchase a package for use during short trips, for example, to the country. According to reviews, the service is well worth its cost. The operator's coverage is stable in most regions of Russia, so the speed allows you to surf the Internet without any problems. Yes, in this offer there is no unlimited nighttime, as in more expensive MTS offers, but for stable access to the network the traffic offered is quite enough.

What is included in the Internet mini option

The connection option is available regardless of what gadget is used for mobile Internet - a tablet, smartphone or portable modem connected to a PC or laptop.

But not all subscribers can use the service.

Internet Mini connection from MTS is not available to users using the following tariff offers:

• Hype;
• Smart Mini;
• Smart;
• Smart Zabugorishche;
• Smart Nonstop;
• Smart Unlimited.

Mini tariff from MTS: what are the pitfalls

When connecting the option, you should pay attention to the following features:

1. Unused traffic, even if the lion's share remains, does not transfer to the next billing period.
2. The operator does not guarantee that the speed will be sufficient throughout the Russian Federation - it all depends on the coverage area.
3. If the option is used outside the home region, then MTS charges an additional fee of 50 rubles for each day. So, before switching to a tariff, you need to calculate the number of days that you plan to spend away from home, and, if necessary, select a different tariff offer that includes unlimited traffic.

Tariffing of the offered service

The number of megabytes provided depends on the region where the service is provided, as does the subscription fee. The operator has developed its own package for each part of the country; a description of the tariff can be found by contacting the official website or a communication shop. For example, metropolitan residents can purchase 3 GB for 350 rubles, and in some regions 7 GB will cost 500 rubles.

If by the time the next subscription fee is charged there are not enough funds on the balance, the service will still be provided. However, for use, an amount of 12 to 20 rubles will be debited from the account daily, depending on the subscription fee. When replenishing the balance, the full monthly payment will be deducted from the account (from 350 to 500 rubles).

Traffic usage rules

If the package GB is exhausted, additional packages will be debited from the subscriber’s mobile account. One additional package includes 500 MB worth 75 rubles. After 15 connected packages, access to the global network is blocked, so it is better to constantly monitor the amount of megabytes used. You can deactivate the connection of additional megabytes by sending an SMS with the number 1 to the short number 1600. To return the service, you must send a message with the number 2.

To avoid the annoying disconnection situation, you need to activate the “Turbo button” option to automatically extend the service.

The cost of traffic in this case will be:

• 100 MB - 30 rubles, connection option *111*05*1#;
• 500 MB – 95 RUR, activation *167#;
• 1 GB – 175 RUR, combination *467#;
• 2 GB – 300 rub., connection *168#;
• 5 GB – 450 rub., service activation *169#;
• 20 GB – 900 RUR, key combination *469#.

Connection conditions

In most regions of the country, the tariff description for MTS Internet mini can be summarized in one phrase: 8 GB for 350-550 rubles/month for a mobile phone. However, there are several exceptions - for the Far Eastern regions the price tag can reach up to 950 rubles per month for 5 GB, and in Moscow the company offers customers a reduced package - 7 GB.

The opportunity to use it while traveling around the country is available, the conditions will change slightly - 50 rubles will be charged daily for roaming.

The option is designed for the required minimum of traffic - mail, social networks and instant messengers, so trying to watch videos online from a mobile phone can very quickly exhaust the included gigabytes. In this case, the company automatically connects a 500 MB package and writes off 75 rubles, this can be repeated up to 15 times within one month. Methods for setting up auto-connection for such packages will be discussed below.

How to connect

You can enable this option in several ways:

1. The easiest option for smartphone owners is the key combination *160# or *111*160*1#.
2. Users of the My MTS application can connect through their personal account. The option is available in the services and tariffs category. In a similar way, you can switch to a new tariff plan through the operator’s official website.
3. Call the support service using the short number 0890. To activate the package, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions of the robotic assistant or wait for a connection with an MTS employee who will activate the option remotely.
4. Visit to the MTS communication salon. The manager activates the service in a few minutes. You must have an ID with you.

Connection occurs within 15 minutes. The user learns that the option is active from an SMS message.

What is included in the Internet mini option?

It is worth noting that there is only one exact data on the tariff - a subscription fee of 350-500 rubles per month. As for traffic, Connect 4 varies from 2 GB to 8 GB depending on the region. Capital citizens, for example, are provided with 3 GB, but residents of some provinces are given 5 GB. How fair this is, of course, only users can judge.

Underwater rocks

It would seem that for a small amount you can purchase a sufficient amount of Internet traffic and calmly make payments number by number. But before switching to a tariff, you should not lose sight of the following features:

1. A fixed subscription fee is available only to users of the MTS Connect line. For other lines the cost is 50 rubles more expensive.
2. If at the time of charging the subscription fee you do not have enough funds in your account, then 12-20 rubles will be debited from your account every day until you replenish it with an amount sufficient for debiting. However, if you have absolutely no money on your balance, then your SIM card is temporarily blocked, and you will not have to pay extra for this period.
3. If the traffic volume is exceeded, the mobile operator automatically writes off 75 rubles. from your account and adds 500MB to you. He can make only 15 such “additives” per month, which is 1,125 rubles. This is how you can disable automatic write-off by refusing traffic for the Internet mini option on MTS: send an SMS from 1 to number 160 (to restore, send 2).

Additional features

1. It remains available to you, allowing you to add the required amount of traffic. Of course, you won’t be able to buy unlimited, but the option is quite convenient.
2. With the connection, it will be possible to distribute your traffic to an additional five friends, although the traffic is small.
3. Every day outside the connection area will cost you an additional 50 rubles per day.

To all of the above, it should be added that the operator does not guarantee the quality of the Internet, since the speed and other parameters may depend on the characteristics of your device or other communication factors.
