What is 100 minutes in MPR in MTS: what does it mean and how to understand?

What is 100 minutes in MPR on MTS

MPR is international roaming. As a result, 100 minutes in the MPR is 100 minutes in international roaming. The function appears if the subscriber has activated the use of communications outside of Russia. This requires roaming services.

In recent years, a lot of such options have accumulated, and some of them have become outdated. Nowadays modern services at lower prices are very popular.

After crossing the Russian state border, the subscriber must connect the necessary services in order for the new tariff to take effect. It could be:

international access;
national and international roaming.

For the convenience of the subscriber, the operator provides a small number of steps necessary for connection. Both options are activated automatically, since one does not work without the other. The following commands should be executed:

dial *111*2192#;
a message about roaming activation will be sent to your phone;
If connection in tone dialing mode is impossible, you should call the MTS call center or contact the nearest service point.

All these actions are possible only for those citizens whose card is valid for at least 6 months after activation. In addition, the account should be topped up at least once a month. The service is activated free of charge, but the balance at this time must be positive. The only exceptions are cases where the credit calculation method is used.

The option can be used after activating special offers for roaming (for example, “Easy roaming” or others). Internet access is included. At maximum speed, 500 MB per day is provided, after which the data transfer speed drops to 128 KB/s.

Methods for connecting to the service

Activation of the option and “100 minutes in the MPR” occurs simultaneously. An existing MTS subscriber with a connected “Tariffish” or another tariff from the “Smart” line can use one of the following activation methods:

On the website mts.ru in your Personal Account.
In the mobile application.
Via support service (0890).
Using the USSD command *111*771#.
In the MTS communication salon.

The easiest option is to visit your personal account on the website or mobile application. After authorization, go to the “section” and click the “Connect” button.

If a person does not have access to the Internet, the connection can always be made using the USSD request specified above. And if you have any questions, it is recommended to contact the MTS communication salon directly or call 0890. By default, this service works in the format of an autoinformer (by clicking the appropriate button, you can activate “Zabugorische”). But through 0890, the client also gets the opportunity to contact the call center operator.

Supported plans

For subscribers who want to efficiently use the network abroad, the “Foreign” option is provided. Some time ago there was such a tariff plan, but now it is inactive.

To use the “100 minutes in MPR” option, the subscriber must have one of the following tariffs:

"Tariffishche". The minimum cost of the package is 650 rubles. The cost of the tariff depends on the size of the package of minutes and the number of SMS. For 3 thousand minutes and the same number of SMS per month you will need to pay 1,550 rubles. For users who have subscribed to the most expensive packages, additional services are provided, such as a free subscription to an online cinema, etc.
Any of the “Smart” tariffs. MTS has a line of tariffs with the “Smart” prefix. Their advantage is the availability of an impressive number of prepaid services at a reasonable fee. Its average cost is 400 rubles per month.
"Ultra". The tariff is best suited for those who love to travel and often go abroad. The cost of the tariff is from 2,900 rubles monthly. The advantage of the tariff is that unused minutes, messages and Internet traffic are not written off, but are transferred to the next month. Moreover, the subscriber will not have any restrictions on calls within the MTS network. Up to 5 thousand minutes are allocated for conversations with subscribers of other operators.

In the near future, this list may be supplemented with new services. To obtain the latest information, you should contact your operator.

Pros and cons of roaming options

Using communication services abroad is very expensive. But “Zabugorische” has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

100 minutes per day for incoming calls.
500 megabytes of Internet every day.
The subscription fee is charged only on days of using communication services abroad.

Large subscription fee.
Outgoing calls are still charged according to roaming conditions.

Thus, the “Zabugorische” option with the offer “100 minutes in the Mongolian People’s Republic” does not look as attractive as it might initially seem.

Cost of the MPR service

costs 390 rubles per day. However, the subscription fee will only be charged if the option is used that day. If a subscriber has been abroad for several days or weeks, but he made calls only on one day, then he will only pay for that day.

To account for minutes, a “transfer” system is maintained. This means that if the tariff provides for free minutes within the Russian Federation, then they are converted into “roaming minutes”. If you have such a tariff plan, you will not need to pay extra.

If the free time according to the tariff has ended, you will need to pay 25 rubles per minute. There is no need to pay for incoming calls (up to 100 minutes for 24 hours). If this limit is exceeded, payment will be made at the rate of 25 rubles per minute of conversation. These conditions are available only for “Popular countries”, a full list of which is presented on the MTS website. This includes only the countries most frequently visited by Russians: the USA, Germany, Portugal, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, etc.

If the subscriber uses in countries that are not included in this list, the conditions are as follows:

incoming calls begin to be charged from the 11th minute of conversation at 39 rubles per 1 minute;
The cost of outgoing calls is 39 rubles per minute;
Every 5 minutes will be charged at the full cost of roaming in a specific country.

The option does not apply if registered in the networks of operators in countries such as Cuba, Turkmenistan, Andorra and others.

Disabling the option discussed in this article

In fact, disabling 100 minutes on MTS is extremely simple. If necessary, everyone can deactivate this option without unnecessary difficulties. There are several ways to do this, among which you will definitely be able to choose the most optimal option. It should be noted that all these methods of deactivating the service are similar to the methods of connecting it:

Log in to your Personal Account" and deactivate the option using the "Internet Assistant".
Use a simple USSD command * 111 * 868 #.
Take your mobile phone and send a standard SMS message to the special service number 111 with the text 8680 written in it.

Everything is quite simple and clear. If you have difficulties with the procedure for connecting or disabling the option discussed in this article, then you can always count on the help of specialists from the MTS subscriber support center.

Do you often call friends and relatives on MTS both in your region and throughout Russia? If these conversations last a long time, then you constantly have to top up your balance to stay in touch. This will help you avoid unnecessary expenses in such a situation. For a small fee, you get the opportunity to communicate with friends throughout the country.

The main thing is that they are subscribers of the same company as you.

Any mobile operator is interested in expanding the range of subscribers as much as possible. The easiest way to do this is by offering the most favorable conditions for calls within the network. If many of your friends use the services of one operator, you will inevitably think about taking a SIM card from the same operator. The “Call for free to MTS Russia 100” option is one of those profitable offers that allow you to attract new customers and at the same time retain old ones.

This service is free minutes on MTS. Packages of minutes for calls within the network are by no means uncommon in the product line of any cellular company. Such offers have become familiar to users and do not require a special story about themselves, but MTS came up with the idea of extending the option not only to calls to subscribers in the home region, but also beyond its borders. For 3 rubles 50 kopecks per day you are offered:

100 minutes within your home network;
100 minutes on MTS in Russia.

Agree, this is very profitable - especially when you consider that by activating the “Call for free to MTS Russia 100” option, you immediately receive two separate packages in one. One hundred minutes is more than an hour and a half a day. Additional minutes are not provided; any package that is not used during the day is “burnt out.”

The service does not apply to the use of an answering machine: “Voice mail” will be charged as a regular call from your phone.

Option Description

The service is not provided to all subscribers of the company, but is aimed at optimizing communication costs, only for users of the Super MTS tariff and all derivative offers from it. You can activate the option even on archived tariffs of this line, provided that the transition to the current offer was made later than the date of 07/01/2015. By activating the option, the user receives two packages of 100 minutes each. The first one can be spent on local calls to the phones of other MTS customers, the second one can be spent on outgoing calls to MTS numbers throughout the country.

We all love our loved ones, especially those who live far away. But we call them very rarely, because it’s expensive. Fortunately, mobile communications are becoming more accessible. Operators come up with interesting promotions to attract customers. For example, MTS introduced the “Call MTS for free” option. Agree that more than one and a half free hours a day is a lot.

There are many positive reviews online for this service. Questions arise only regarding the connection procedure. We will tell you about this in detail.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each service has its own strengths and shortcomings that many of the company's clients do not like. Let's figure out what pros and cons were noted by subscribers when using Zabugorishche.

quite a lot of minutes for incoming calls in roaming;
reasonable prices for outgoing calls;
Mobile Internet included;
no need to disable the option when you return home;
even for unpopular destinations there is a package with minutes.

high subscription fee (not every traveler can afford more than 350 rubles per day);
there is no package for profitable messages that would be useful abroad for communicating with relatives;
the service is not compatible with profitable tariff plans that do not require a subscription fee;
You definitely need to activate other company offers for roaming.

MPR: word decoding options

If you simply type “100 MPR minutes from MTS” into Google, nothing meaningful will come up. But if you are interested in the decoding of just one abbreviation, then here are the options:

Mongolian People's Republic (that is, MTS will make it possible to call to Mongolia);
Moscow People's Republic (well, this is already strange, but I really found this);
other cellular networks (i.e. you will be able to communicate 100 minutes per month with subscribers of Tele2, Beeline and other operators operating in Russia);
or it's just abroad.

Most of all I am inclined to the option that we are talking about roaming. But this is very strange, because the copywriters of such a large company did not manage to stick some kind of asterisk next to the word “MPR” and write an explanation in small print, because people do not understand !

If you think that I’m wrong (and this may well be reality), feel free to contradict me in the comments under the answer. Or take it and write your answer. I would be very grateful if you agree!

Description

The special service Call for free to MTS Russia 100 is offered to those lucky ones who after 01.07. 2015 subscribed to tariff subscription plans for individuals “Super MTS”, as well as to its variation “Super MTS. Region". This affects only users of communication services who have connected, as well as existing subscribers switching to the offers of this line from their tariff plans.

What do those who decide to add the service get from the operator? They are provided with a couple of independent packages of call minutes: firstly, this is a hundred minutes of local calls every day on MTS, and, secondly, 100 minutes of all-Russian dialogues with MTS subscribers, also per day.

What is typical is that these packages do not apply to forwarding to local MTS subscribers, which should be taken into account if forwarding to other numbers is triggered. In addition, if minutes are not used during the current day, they are burned out and not transferred to the next day.

The operator service Call for free MTS will be indispensable for those who make a lot, frequently and for a long time to local operator numbers, since the prices for “Super MTS. Region" and its version "Super MTS" are quite low, and coupled with connecting the option, the discounts provided are quite significant, because 100 minutes is a whole hour and a half with pennies of communication! However, if the subscriber has a lot of relatives and friends throughout the vast territory of the country who have mobile phones from MTS, then the all-Russian package of minutes will be no less pleasant for them. Communication for really pennies is great!

As for the financial costs of using this wonderful option, the MTS Call for Free service entails only a monthly fee of 3.5 rubles per day of use. The fact of connection costs the same amount, and this payment includes the first day of communication. Next, the subscription fee is debited every night one day in advance. At the same time, 100 free units are awarded.
