The choice of tariff plan for many depends on the services of which operator the majority of the people in their contacts use. If the vast majority of them use MTS for communication, then logically they purchase its own SIM card. Users who like to communicate over the telephone are recommended to choose a tariff plan that provides free calls within the network.
How to activate the free calls option when using an MTS SIM card, and exactly how this can be done, we will tell you in our review. In addition to this offer, we will also consider the most profitable tariff plans.
MTS tariffs with unlimited calls
Despite the disappearance of the above-mentioned function, the provider’s arsenal includes many TPs with unlimited calls, not only within the network of the home region, but also with unlimited calls throughout the country.
The entire Smart line has such potential. In addition to the ability to call all MTS numbers for free, TPs offer packages of minutes for communication with all Russian operators, SMS packages and mobile Internet.
This is what the “Smart” TP line can offer subscribers, in addition to unlimited communication with MTS subscribers:

For this money, the user receives 350 minutes for making calls to various networks, the same amount of SMS, and unlimited access to Web networks. The subscriber also has the opportunity to distribute Internet, however, no more than 10 GB per month. The service involves an additional debit from the account in the amount of 19 rubles per day.

Attention! Unlimited for MTS is activated only after the limit of minutes on a particular package has been completely exhausted. Before this, min. are written off from the quota allocated within the TP.
MTS Connect messenger
A completely new offer for unlimited calls. “MTS Connect” is the operator’s personal messenger, which will allow subscribers to significantly reduce communication costs. To take advantage of this offer, just download the messenger to your smartphone. Available in your personal profile:
- Install and change an avatar;
- Upload photos and set status;
- Make unlimited calls;

Attention! Conversations through the application are possible not only with owners of new modern mobile devices, but also with those who have a regular old-style cell phone.
For users of Smart tariffs who have installed the MTS Connect application on their smartphone, special conditions of use have been created. For this category, the number of unpaid calls under the main tariff package is doubled. That is, if according to the Smart Top plan a subscriber is provided with 3,000 free minutes to any numbers in Russia, then by connecting the application for unlimited communication, 6,000 unpaid minutes will become available to him. In addition, there will be unlimited intranet communication. Only the Smart Mini plan is excluded from this offer.
Important! The auxiliary volume begins to be consumed only after the basic package has been completely consumed.
As part of the service, when making calls through the specified service, Internet traffic remains uncharged. This condition applies to being in the home region and in national roaming. Charging for transferring files, participating in chats and sending location is carried out according to the rules of your plan. When abroad, network traffic is paid additionally.
There are some restrictions for downloading the application. So, you can install it on a smartphone based on Android no lower than version 4.0. The iOS operating system version must be at least 8.0.

from MTS
Just a few years ago, every subscriber who needed free on-net calls could use. It gave subscribers an unlimited number of calls within the network - they could chat as much as they wanted, even for hours on end, caring only about the availability of charge in the battery. Some time ago the service was archived . Therefore, we will not be able to connect “Unlimited calls” to MTS. But we will implement this opportunity in a different way - more on that later.
Let's better figure out how to turn it off on MTS if it is no longer needed. Universal methods are to dial the USSD command *111*2120# or look into your “Personal Account”. SMS commands are also used for this. If you activated the service before June 30, 2011, send an SMS with the text “21200” (without quotes) to the toll-free number 111. If you activated the service since July 1, 2011, send an SMS with the text “212000” (without quotes) to all same service number.
How to disable "Unlimited calls"?
Since the operator has many new profitable offers valid throughout Russia, the need for the “Unlimited calls” option may no longer be necessary.
Subscribers who have previously activated the service can still use it. But, if the service is no longer needed, it can be easily deactivated. However, when disabling the service, keep in mind that you will not be able to turn it back on.
So, to turn off the function, dial the digital combination *111*2120# on your phone and press the call button. You can also turn it off in your personal account, through the “My Services” section.
Connection
To activate the service, you should use any of the methods below:
- Calls to MTS Russia can be made unlimited by dialing *111*2120# on your mobile device. After activation, you will receive an SMS confirmation from the operator with the text about successful activation.
- Subscribers can also connect to the service and receive an unlimited package for communicating with MTS numbers via text messages. Clients only need to send an SMS via short dial 111, and indicate the numbers 2120 in the letter itself.
- The last activation method is to use your personal account. In addition, after registration and authorization, a full range of services will open in it, with which you can manage your SIM card yourself.
- If you can’t connect the option yourself, you should seek help from employees of MTS branded salons or call the operator’s support service at 0890. In order to use the help of employees when connecting, you will need to have a passport.
How to use the unlimited tariff plan in the Russian Federation
To activate an unlimited MTS tariff in Russia, you need to pay the full cost of the tariff plan. Next, you should pay your monthly subscription fee on time, depending on the type of service package. If you fail to pay on time, the ability to use the service will be suspended, or you will be transferred to a tariff with daily payment. Details can be obtained from the operator.
It’s worth connecting to unlimited if only because the money on your balance is not spent and you don’t have to find out how to send a homeless person to MTS.
Who is the package suitable for?
The new offer from MTS NETARIFF is ideal for those users who know exactly what they need. They know how many minutes they talk on average per month, how much Internet they spend.
This tariff plan is suitable if a person clearly knows his requirements, since in the settings he will have to indicate what is needed and in what quantity.
If a person hardly uses the Internet and calls few places, then NETARIF is unlikely to suit him. Even despite the flexible setting conditions, the tariff does not imply completely disabling something.
For example, if a person does not need the Internet at all, then he will not be able to turn it off completely. Thus, he will pay for what he does not use.
Also, NETARIFF is not suitable for those who often communicate with people from abroad. This is because for such calls you will have to pay the same amount as on another mobile operator. To save money, you will need to choose a different tariff or connect an additional service.
In all other cases, NETARIFF is perfect. Today this is the most profitable offer from MTS, which you definitely need to try.
On the one hand, MTS makes it possible not to overpay for unnecessary services. On the other hand, if the subscriber exceeds the readings selected in the settings, an additional fee will be charged. And this happens often, because few people clearly track how much they use the Internet.
So, NETARIFF has its advantages and disadvantages. Before switching to a new tariff, you need to consider all the pros and cons.
MTS NETARIF: reviews
NETARIF is a new tariff plan that appeared at the end of 2020. Despite the fact that the proposal has not existed for long, it has found its admirers. The new tariff plan is receiving more and more positive comments.

Anton, 29 years old: I liked the new offer from MTS. There are many proposals in it that interested me. The main advantage is, of course, the ability to choose. For example, I can choose how many minutes per month I need, how much Internet and SMS messages. However, in my opinion, MTS “NETARIF” turns out to be a little expensive. I wish the price would be reduced.
Valentin, 35 years old: As soon as I learned more about “NETARIF”, I immediately decided to switch to it. What attracted me was that you can customize what you need for a fulfilling life. For example, I don’t make many calls and almost never write SMS messages. But I am an active Internet user. Therefore, I immediately chose unlimited. But I set the minutes and SMS messages to a minimum. This way I don’t overpay for services I hardly use. I recommend to all!

Additional Internet will cost 160 rubles per 1 gigabyte. The service is activated without user intervention as soon as the traffic in the main Internet package ends.
If the SMS package runs out, the cost of one message within Russia will be 3.50 rubles. SMS to other countries are charged at 8.50 rubles per piece.

You can call through the services described above not only within the network, but also to the phones of any other mobile operators.
Entertainment services
On MTS Netariff, users have access to subscriptions to popular entertainment options at a discount. The benefit is noticeable if, as in the case of unlimited services, the user has connected the maximum Internet and call packages.
In the table we have listed all the subscriptions available for ordering on the MTS Neteraf tariff and their prices with and without a discount.
| Service name | Cost on Netariff (per month) | Regular cost (per month) |
| “Super” subscription to MTS TV | from 1₽ | 199₽ |
| “Super+” subscription to MTS TV | from 49₽ | 299₽ |
| MTS Music | from 49₽ | 169₽ |
| Online cinema IVI | from 199₽ | 349₽ |

More detailed information on prices for entertainment subscriptions is presented on the MTS portal mts.ru.
It is important to know that if one or more options from the list are already activated for the subscriber, with the transition to the “Netariff” tariff plan, their cost will not change to a discounted rate. To get a discount on these services, you need to disable them and reconnect them in the mobile application after switching to the Netariff tariff plan.
Cost of services after using the package
The final cost of the tariff depends on which settings were selected. Prices start from 476 rubles. This is how much the minimum set of services costs. It includes:
- 5 gigabytes of Internet;
- 200 minutes to all networks;
- 50 free SMS messages.
If you add unlimited Internet to all this, the cost will rise to 605 rubles. The most optimal option is especially popular among subscribers. It includes:
- 200 minutes to all networks;
- Unlimited Internet;
- Unlimited conversations within the network.
Cost: 675 rubles/month.
If you compare NETARIFF with Tariffishche, then the first offer will be more profitable. Not only will you have to pay 850 rubles per month for the tariff, but you can also sacrifice a huge number of free SMS messages.
It is unlikely that anyone now often resorts to SMS if there are social networks. In addition, the subscriber will thus be able to save 155 rubles.
But you should understand that everything has its own nuances. This also applies to NETARIF. Here you need to be especially careful about your Internet connection.
For example, it is unlimited only within the home region. If you drive around the country, only 30 gigabytes will be available at normal speed. After this, the speed drops to 128 kilobits per second.
4G Internet is available, but only within 10 gigabytes. If you exceed this mark, 80 rubles will be debited from your balance. The same applies to torrents and file sharing services. Downloading any content is paid: 5 gigabytes per day for 75 rubles.
