The “My Unlimited” tariff is closed for connection and transition. The current replacement is “NETARIF”. Subscribers who previously connected “My Unlimited” can use it under the old conditions.
TARIFF “MY UNLIMITED”?
Cool! Sucks!
The New Year 2021 has barely begun, and MTS is already pleasing its subscribers with an updated tariff line in the form of the “My Unlimited” tariff. Today we will pay attention to it in the article, having considered all the details and nuances of connection.
If the problem is connection speed
The most common reason for changing the tariff is insufficient connection speed. Today, the provider offers tariffs with connection speeds of up to 200 Mbit/s, which can be obtained if technical capabilities are available in the subscriber equipment.
You just need to select a tariff - up to 30 Mbit/s, up to 60 Mbit/s, up to 100 Mbit/s, and so on, and proceed to it, using the instructions described in the further contents of the article.
But such speeds are available only to subscribers connected via an optical line; ADSL offers speeds of only up to 24 Mbit/s, and the provider Rostelecom offers even less - up to 6 Mbit/s.
If the subscriber is connected via a telephone line and does not have enough speed, then you can change the provider, or wait until fiber is installed to the house, which the provider will notify you about, and connect a tariff with the required connection speed.
Why does the ban appear?
Recently, the cellular operator MTS launched a new tariff called “Tariffishche”. It has absorbed all the best from previous tariff plans. The services provided under it are as follows:
- Minutes – from 500 to 3000 in the home region.
- SMS messages from 500 to 3000 pieces also for your home region.
- Unlimited access to the global network without division into regions of residence.
However, not everything is as good as MTS claims.
Important! In addition to restrictions on downloading files via torrent or file sharing services, there is also a ban on sharing the Internet. Resourceful users have long learned to bypass these restrictions

Tariff changes 2021
Since April 2021, the “Unlimited” tariff plan has undergone some changes based on subscriber reviews and statistical studies:
- The package with Internet traffic of 12 GB was updated, it was increased to 15 GB while maintaining the same cost.
- The volume of traffic has increased for each individual package. The function of independently selecting the characteristics of the required tariff remains unchanged.
- Also, the promotional period was removed from April.
- It has become much more convenient to switch to a cheaper tariff plan without paying the remaining balance on the old tariff. Subscribers who have changed their tariff upward will pay immediately according to the new requirements.
Important changes have occurred since it became free. Traffic consumption on VK, OK, Facebook, Instagram and other popular social networks is not counted.
How to connect to the Smart “Unlimited” tariff?
To begin with, we note that connecting to the tariff plan is completely free, which is incredibly convenient for users - they can try several tariffs for a certain time to understand which one suits them best.
There are several ways to connect Smart “Unlimited”, let’s describe them.
- The simplest one is to open a personal account on the official website and switch to the desired tariff. You can do this yourself, or use the free services of an online consultant.
- If you are an active smartphone user and want to regulate the terms of your tariff plan even faster, you can download the MTS application on Google Play and AppStore, and then calmly switch to “Unlimited”.

There is also an option to contact the MTS call center at 8-800-250-0890, the operator will quickly change the tariff plan according to your instructions.

MTS roaming: what you need to know when traveling around Russia in 2021
In February-March 2021, MTS officially canceled roaming within the country. Now its subscribers, while traveling around Russia, can use cellular services without connecting additional ones. However, this rule mainly affected communication with subscribers in the region of residence. Will the cost of MTS services increase after roaming is cancelled?
According to the FAS, the abolition of roaming in Russia in itself should not lead to an increase in prices for mobile communications, since initially there were no grounds for charging it. However, the difference in tariffs for different regions on official websites remains due to the difference in salary levels. The highest prices for mobile communications, as always, remain in the Moscow region.
In July 2021, the State Duma approved a bill on the complete abolition of intranet roaming in Russia (a partial abolition occurred in the spring of this year, read above). The main requirement of the new document is the abolition of fees for receiving incoming calls in domestic Russian roaming . International incoming calls when outside your home region remain chargeable. The State Duma also mentioned that a year ago, for citizens of European countries, roaming ceased to operate throughout the entire European Union, and in many countries the very concept of internal roaming does not exist. “It’s high time to get rid of this anachronism in Russia, too,” parliamentarians believe. “Daily fee for use,” said MTS group press secretary Alexey Merkutov.
On December 19, 2021, the long-awaited event arrived - deputies of the State Duma approved the law on the abolition of national roaming on the territory of the Russian Federation . It is expected that from June 1, 2021, uniform tariffs will be applied when paying for communication services, regardless of the region in which the subscriber is located.
Quest from MTS: bypass the restriction on “Unlimited”
Note that the MTS “Unlimited” tariff can only be connected to a SIM card in a phone with the Internet; it is not suitable for modems (although this is not required: the company has developed favorable tariffs for modems). But even here there were some pitfalls. As soon as you try to distribute Wi-Fi, the speed is sharply limited. The same limitation applies to the new tariff plan “Tariffishche”. And in order to bypass the restriction on Internet distribution on “Unlimited”, you will have to work hard.
We prepared a detailed article on how to bypass the restriction on Internet distribution on Tariffishche earlier. In principle, for the “Unlimited” tariff plan the instructions will be the same. Therefore, in this article we will only outline the main ways to solve the problem.You can distribute the Internet for free in 3 ways:
- Change device ID - IMEI;
- Change TTL;
- Correct the host file.
Change IMEI and share the Internet right now...or not?
Change your phone identification number (IMEI)
Please note that this is illegal and we strongly recommend that you do not use this route. Moreover, if you believe numerous reviews, this option does not always work
And you might just be wasting your time. Additionally, we draw your attention to the fact that this method is only suitable for owners of devices based on Android; for all lovers of the “bitten apple” this path is useless.
To change the IMEI identifier:
- Dial the command *#*#3646633#*#* on your phone
- In the window that opens, open the Connectivity section, and then click on CDS Information, then Radio Information and Phone1.
Find the AT+ line and write EGMR=1.7 “IMEI of your phone” in it. Pay attention to this indicator. Many subscribers note that the method works if you add a space after the +, but for some it works like that.
Click Send as and then reboot your device.
After this, your device will change the number corresponding to the Windows indicators, and the operator will not suspect the activity prohibited by it.
Another way to change your IMEI is to download a special application from PlayMarket. But this method is even more dangerous, since along with installing a third-party program, you can transfer your personal data to scammers.
Change Time to Live (TTL) and share the Internet!
Another numerical indicator, changing which will help distribute Internet on the “Unlimited” tariff from MTS for free, is TTL. According to the standard, the value of this indicator is 64, so in order to “deceive” the operator, you just need to change this number. This can be done either using a special downloaded application on your phone or through a computer. Since in the case of a utility on a smartphone, all the instructions boil down to following the instructions on the phone, we will dwell in detail on the second option. To do this on PC:
- Use the WIN+R keyboard shortcut and type regedit.
- Open the settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters and select "Parameters" and create a DWORD (or QWORD for a 64-bit system), specify the name DefaultTTL.
Check the box next to the decimal number system and enter the value 65. Everything is ready, all that remains is to reboot the system.
We edit the host file and distribute the Internet tariff “Unlimited”
Another way to bypass the restriction on Internet distribution is to constantly edit the host file. To find it, press the familiar WIN+R key combination and type %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc into the line. All you need to do next is edit this file.
Summary
At the moment, Beeline and Yota also have tariffs with unlimited Internet. They can be either more expensive or slightly cheaper. But almost everywhere there are restrictions, either a limit on traffic per month, or on speed, or it is impossible to use the phone as a modem and distribute the Internet via Wifi (Iota is guilty of this). But if you spend a lot of time online, outside the home, the ability to share traffic and distribute Internet via wi-fi without paying extra for it is important to you, you have many friends and acquaintances with an MTS SIM card, then the Smart Unlimited tariff from MTS might be a good choice.
How to disable paid services on MTS
If you notice that money is disappearing from your phone “to no one knows where,” check the active services on MTS: some paid options that you don’t even suspect may cause costs. In this situation, you just need to disable the services that you do not use. There are several ways.
You can disable many services on your phone without resorting to outside help. Send a request specific for each service, or send an SMS to the operator’s number: – “Your call is disconnected with the request *111*38*2#. – “Everywhere is like home – dial *111*38# or send a text message “33330 to 111.” – “Everywhere is like home Smart – combination *111*1021#. – “Everywhere is like home Russia – USSD request *111*528#. – “The beep (GOOD'OK) is turned off by dialing *111*29#. – “Anti-Caller ID (Caller ID) – dial *111*47#. – “Black list – *111*442*2#. – “With complete trust – combination *111*32#. – “Child under supervision – send the text message “Delete” to number 7788. – “SuperBIT – make a special request *111*628*2#. – “BIT – remove by dialing *111*252*2#. – “All Russia Smart – dial *111*1031#. – “Locator – text SMS “OFF” to number 6677. If you write “Package Stop” in the message and send it to the same number, the service will be suspended, the fee will not be charged, and your friends’ contacts will be saved.
You can control subscriptions and services through the “My MTS” application. You can remove unnecessary services and connect new ones, view your account status, availability of bonuses, monitor minutes and traffic, change the tariff package and resolve many other issues. It is impossible to deactivate certain functions yourself - neither through the phone nor in your personal account. You will need the help of a specialist: call the MTS support operator or go to the company’s service center.
