MiniBIT MTS service: characteristics

“Minibit” from MTS is the optimal service for those users who do not need to frequently visit web resources. For periodic Internet surfing, it is perfect - for example, once a day or week. The service user will not need additional feature packages with unlimited traffic, SMS, minutes and monthly subscription fees.

What is the operating principle of Minibit MTS? First of all, the option strictly controls the connection to the Internet. If the mobile gadget registers the connection, funds will be debited from the balance. The cost of the service is relatively low, so if you have infrequent Internet access, it won’t put a dent in your pocket. For example, a subscriber is lost in the outskirts of the city, and he urgently needs to use online maps. This option will instantly help out without writing off a huge amount of money.

The reporting period for the MiniBit service is 24 hours . If there is no Internet connection, no funds are charged from the account. As for the prices for the service, it depends on the region where the MTS user lives or is currently located. The first 20 megabytes in Moscow and the Moscow region will cost a mobile network client 25 rubles, each subsequent package with 20 megabytes will be cheaper - only 15 rubles. Additional packages are allowed to be connected no more than 15 times per 24 hours (maximum daily traffic should be 300 Megabytes).

It is important to know! If it is necessary to receive volume traffic, the subscriber is given the opportunity to use the “Turbo button” option, which adds packets to Internet traffic.

What should subscribers who often travel around Russia or periodically go on business trips do? In this case, the cost of the first 20 Megabytes is listed as 45 rubles, subsequent megabytes (from 20 MB) – for 25 rubles. The number of subsequent connections is the same as in the home region, no more than 15 per day. If the subscriber does not want to connect backup packages, he can disable them using the request code: *111*931# and pressing the “Call” button.

In Minibit MTS, double billing is also possible . You should know about it in order to avoid questions about uncontrolled debiting of funds from your balance. For example, the user decided to leave the Moscow region and go to another. All this happened in one day. Mobile operator MTS warns that in such cases, 20 rubles will be deducted as the price of the Moscow package, and 40 rubles as the price of the regional package.

Price

For regular (daily) use of the service, the client will need to pay 15 rubles. per day or 450 rub. monthly. This amount serves as payment for 5 MB of high-speed traffic, as you use it the speed will drop to 32 Kbps.

Reference! If the traffic is not fully used, it is burned and is not left the next day.

If this volume is not enough, then you should pay attention to the BIT service, when connected, high-speed traffic of 50 MB becomes available to the subscriber. When using it, the speed will drop to 64 Kbit/s, but will remain twice as high as that of MiniBIT tariff subscribers.

Who is “MiniBIT” suitable for?

Some customers need a lot of bandwidth to access the Internet, while others may not need it. But there are also those who need access to the World Wide Web only at certain moments. The latter do not need to pay for access monthly, because the Internet is only needed sometimes. MiniBIT provides such an opportunity.

Review and configuration of the D-Link Dir-320 modem

When the option is enabled, the client simply needs to go to a social network, check his email, or do another action related to access to the World Wide Web in order to receive 20 MB of traffic and write off the payment amount. In some cases this may not be enough. Then you just need to stay online. At the same time, MTS will provide packages of 20 MB of traffic as needed until the need for them ends.

After this is done 15 times, it will not be possible to extend access until the end of the day.

Note! In this case, the Internet will not be turned off until the next day, but will simply become very slow.

Features of the option

What are the differences between 3G and 4G networks: features, advantages and disadvantages

“MiniBIT” MTS is suitable for those who do not hang out on the Internet, but only occasionally access it. For some, just looking at emails or checking social media accounts is enough. In this case, a large amount of traffic is not needed. For such cases, this service is provided. A person receives a small amount of traffic, and if necessary, can increase it in small portions.

The total amount of traffic received in this way is: 25 (providing the service) + 15 × 20 (providing 15 renewals) = 325 MB. This is not much, but enough for those who need access to the World Wide Web only occasionally.

How to disable the BIT option: detailed options
