How to turn off the Internet on MTS on your phone - 6 ways

When to turn off the Internet

There are several reasons why you should remove the service from your mobile phone:

• Those subscribers who do not use mobile network access and do not want to pay for the megabytes used usually want to cancel the ability to transfer data. If the traffic package is not connected, then even a random connection or application update will be expensive.
• Another common reason is when traveling abroad. Not everyone wants to use additional options for profitable roaming. If network access is not needed for this period, then it is easier to turn it off so as not to accidentally waste an expensive service.
• There are cases when the MTS SIM card has traffic packages connected that the subscriber does not use. They need to be disabled so that the subscription fee is not debited from the account.

If a temporary shutdown is required, this can be done not only through the operator, but also by simply turning off network access in the phone settings. Go to the data transfer section and move the button to the “Disabled” position. This will establish a ban on data transfer.

In what cases may deactivation be necessary?

Cancellation of the global network is necessary if the subscriber does not use it, there is little money left in his account, or the person is afraid to use up the main traffic package. Deactivation may also be necessary when the owner of the phone is a small child or an elderly person. It is always possible that an inexperienced person will click the wrong button and go online, losing the entire remaining balance.

Important! Children often access sites that are prohibited for them, containing pornographic or shocking content, so blocking the Internet when buying a SIM card for a child is paramount.

Complete removal of the function

You can cancel the ability to access the network on MTS by blocking the connection via GPRS/EDGE/3G/4G. Disabling is required, which every subscriber has by default. You can do this not only with the help of specialists, but also on your own.

This can be done using the USSD command *152#. In the window that opens, click “2” – “Your paid services”. Here you need to first check the availability of “Options”, and then “Paid information subscriptions”. If desired, you can safely disable the unnecessary part.

Disabling unlimited internet

Connecting and setting up mobile Internet from MTS

The “Unlimited Internet” or “Internet for a day” option is built into the line of “Smart” tariff plans, but if the subscriber does not need them, then you can safely deactivate the services, which will save money.

“Unlimited Internet” and the associated option are disabled using the combination *111*67# or an SMS message with the text “670” to the number 111. This must be done without fail, since, despite the traffic being reset, the service will be turned on the next day again, and the money will naturally be written off.

Basic options for deactivating your phone

Control on a mobile device is carried out in several ways. All of them are absolutely free.

1. The main one is the use of USSD commands. It looks like this: *111*package code# and call button.
2. The second option is to send an SMS to the operator’s free number 111 with a command that depends on the selected package.
3. Contacting the Mobile Assistant. To do this, dial 111 and use the answering machine prompts. The call is also free.
4. You can contact the operator at 0890. After the answering machine answers, press 0 to connect to the operator. Please note that you may have to wait a while for one of them to become available. The answering machine will tell you the approximate waiting time and place in line.

The option provides 10 MB per day. At the same time, as soon as the first 10 MB are used, a new one will be connected to you. No more than 10 connections are possible per day. Disabling “Mini Bit” occurs using the combination 62*2 or sending code 6220.

"Super Beat"

As part of the “Super Bit”, 3 GB per month is provided. You can opt out of the Super Bit in the following ways:

• via sms received before using each of the following intervals:
• sending SMS with any symbol to service number 444;
• USSD command *444#.

Additionally, those who wish will be able to use their personal account and obtain the required information by logging in to the official website.

MTS tariffs for “Open Internet”

Remembering that the “open Internet” of MTS in Belarus is not a special option, it makes no sense to talk about tariffs. This offer is valid under the same conditions, regardless of which tariff plan the company’s client has, and becomes active only after the basic Internet traffic package has been exhausted.

It is also pointless to talk about tariffs because the operator has established a single cost, despite the differences in requests, activity and interests of subscribers. The described service is universal and does not depend on external factors.

Deactivation on a computer

There are 4 main options for working with a computer. This is using the following packages:

• Internet-Mini with a monthly limit of 3 GB.
• Internet-Maxi, which provides 8 GB.
• Internet-Super allows you to use 20 GB.
• Internet-VIP - the limit is 50 GB per month.

They all work via a modem. The last three also offer unlimited access for residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. Once the quota is used, the speed is reduced to 64 KB per second.

Below we will tell you how to opt out of each of them.

Intervals and cost

Considering the fact that fees are now charged for used intervals, clients of the hundredth company need to know about the features and procedure for debiting funds. The table shows all the intervals provided by the operator and the price for each of them.

The cost shown on the right does not depend on how much of the interval was used. That is, 3 rubles will be debited from the balance for both 101 MB and 500.
