For some subscribers, paid subscriptions to content on various topics are a pleasant, entertaining and informational leisure activity. For others, it is an annoying curse that you can accidentally “pick up” while surfing the web or responding to an advertising message. One way or another, almost all subscribers encounter them, and many of them are interested in how to disable MTS subscriptions from their phone. Therefore, in this article we tell you how to check whether your number is subscribed to any mailing list, and how to get rid of it if necessary.
How to check paid subscriptions on MTS?
The easiest way to quickly find out about paid subscriptions on your current phone number is to use ussd commands.
A simple command *152 and going to the “Entertainment subscriptions” item will allow you to quickly obtain information about all current expenses for them.
Details of expenses per day
Checking paid subscriptions via ussd and push notifications.
You can find out about current subscriptions via ussd, sms, personal account and calling the operator and immediately disable them.
What services does MTS provide on a paid and free basis?
Additional services, subscriptions, services are provided by the company on a paid or free basis. The peculiarity of the operator is that the difference in payment criteria is not constant. Some options declared free in the tariff may, after a period of time or under specified conditions, be provided for money.
The company has extensive experience in imposing paid services using legal methods. Thus, the service can be connected free of charge for a limited period. And if the subscriber forgetfully does not turn it off, then from the specified date the money will be written off. Other paid features are provided out of the box. Until the user figures out that the payment for the service is in excess of the paid tariff and disables them, he will lose some of the money.
Constantly changing the status of a service or function leads to the fact that the subscriber does not have time to monitor its status and thereby loses a small part of the money. Since the write-offs are insignificant, few people decide to file a claim: legal costs in case of loss can exceed tens of times the amount of damage. In this regard, it is worth reviewing the terms of the tariff and other company offers every six months.

The easiest and fastest way to check and disable paid subscriptions is to use MTS ussd subscription cancellation codes .
To find out about current paid subscriptions, dial the code *152*2#✆ on your cell phone using the dialer and in the menu that opens, select 3 to cancel all subscriptions or select 2 to disable certain ones .
After entering one of the commands, you will receive an SMS message with information about connected subscriptions or a notification that all subscriptions have been disabled.
Is it possible to prohibit the connection of paid services?
For users who want to cancel the possibility of potential subscriptions once and for all, MTS has developed. It blocks the ability to send and receive messages from short numbers. Connection is free, subscription fee – 0 rubles. To activate the service, you need to send the command *984* from your phone or call the call center. This can also be done at the mobile operator’s office.

The second way to manage MTS subscriptions is to call subscriber support centers. Using the short number 0890 or the phone number 8-800-333-08- you can contact a company specialist who, in a casual conversation, will give all the necessary information or independently disable services and mobile subscriptions that you do not need.

- through the “Personal Account”, setting the desired configuration;
- sending USSD commands;
- by calling the support service at 0890;

Not a bad way if ussd commands are not available for some reason, and the phone is simple enough for the application or the Internet. Unfortunately, there is no direct command to disable all services or MTS does not provide them. The number 8111 described on other sites does not work. But there is still one way that will allow you to disable a subscription to paid content with one SMS without additional actions in the case when you need to unsubscribe every minute.
If you have just received a message about the activation of a paid subscription to a site, then send a message STOP or STOP - this should help you unsubscribe from it at the same moment.
If within a minute you do not receive a message that your subscription has been terminated, then use another method to disable MTS paid mailings.
The special one opens direct access to the portal moicontent.mts.ru, where current and archived information about all MTS subscriptions is posted.
The same resource is used when gaining access to connected content through online self-service services (“Personal Account”, “My MTS”) or the “Service Management” service.

How to avoid getting paid MTS subscriptions?
Excluding those cases when you deliberately subscribed to a newsletter or paid access, how else do you get paid subscriptions for entertainment sites? As a rule, this happens due to clicking on questionable links or sites with 18+ content.
This is what the subscription site looks like:
What does a paid MTS subscription look like?
The fastest way I was able to find paid subscriptions was on sites with 18+ content, so when following links to such sites, be extremely careful. MTS rules prohibit hidden activation of subscriptions, so as a rule, the owners of such sites warn you that you will be subscribed, as well as the cost and terms of a paid subscription.
All information about the subscription is often located at the bottom of the site, in small print, and before subscribing, you must perform some targeted action and see information about the subscription! In our case, click the “Watch” button. all subscriptions in their address (URL) have the domain name MTS.ru.
In this case, the operator is not responsible for your carelessness! Vigilance is the key to safety!
Briefly about MTS tariffs
Studying the tariff plans will help you get an idea of the compliance of the services provided with the user’s needs. If the owner of a tablet requires unlimited Internet access, the operator offers 4 types of tariffs without excessive costs and traffic restrictions:
- “Internet for a day” does not require a subscription fee, the cost is 50 rubles. only per day of use;
- “Internet Mini”, 3 GB of traffic is provided for a month for 350 rubles;
- “Internet-Maxi”, monthly data volume is 12 GB for 700 rubles;
- “Internet VIP” for a subscription fee of 1200 rubles/month is allocated 30 GB and unlimited access at night.
How to set a ban on connecting subscriptions
Disabling MTS subscriptions is not difficult, but for many it would be much more convenient to permanently exclude the possibility of connecting any paid subscriptions without their knowledge. As a rule, before a subscription is detected, a certain amount of money, sometimes significant, has already disappeared from the balance. All this can be avoided using ]“Content Ban”[/anchor]. This service blocks the ability to connect subscriptions. That is, even if you fall for a scammer’s trick designed to activate a paid subscription on your number, funds will not be debited, since it will not allow you to become a subscriber to the paid service.
To connect to MTS, dial *984# on your phone . We provided a more detailed description of this service in a separate article. It is also possible to activate the service by calling the MTS help center.
