If for some reason you still do not use high-speed 4G Internet, but want to connect it, then this article will help you with this. This technology is used not only in mobile phones, but also for home Internet. Especially in places where wired technology is not available. MTS was one of the first to begin distributing the fourth generation network in Moscow and throughout Russia. Now the provider occupies a leading position in the number of clients and 4G towers throughout the country. In this article you will learn how to connect 4G LTE Internet to MTS and what conditions must be met for this.
What is this communication standard?
4G is the fourth generation mobile communications standard. There are increased requirements for it:
- For mobile communications, Internet access is provided at speeds of over 100 Mbit/sec.
- Fixed connection provides 1 Gbit/sec.
4G consists of two high speed standards: WiMAX and LTE. The first of them appeared in 2005, and the second in 2009. The latter has gained great popularity for use in mobile networks. They can be used for mobile devices and laptops.
Although 4G claims to have high speeds, in practice the network does not provide them. The maximum available speed for mobile devices is no more than 20 Mbit/s. The parameters of such a network are superior to HSPA networks.
Important! The main manufacturer of chips for mobile devices supporting LTE is Qualcomm. It began producing such chips in 2012.
Most models released after this year support 4G. Such a network almost never fails.
Other options
Alternative to a tariff plan with more Internet:
- “BIT” and “SuperBit” options. The first one provides 75 MB per day for 200 rubles, the other - for 350 rubles. give 3 GB.
- The MTS Tablet option offers 4 GB of traffic and unlimited mobile TV for 400 rubles.
The validity of the “SuperBIT” offer on MTS tariffs for Moscow and the region is limited to the home region.
You can find out how much traffic is left for the option using the command *217#.
The BIT series has become very popular in 2021 among users, especially in cases where the Internet is not needed all the time, but for a specific period of time, and there is simply no point in paying for a larger volume.
MTS subscribers traveling to Crimea can also easily use communications under intranet roaming conditions in Russia, while the standard price for 1 MB will be 9.9 rubles. For those who want to save on mobile Internet while in Crimea, you can activate the “Everywhere at home” option and use the same tariff conditions as at home. Those who live in the Crimea can get more favorable conditions for accessing the World Wide Web using the mentioned options of the BIT series.
For those traveling abroad, MTS has developed a special addition to tariffs designed for traveling around the world - a group of Internet options “BIT Abroad”. If you have enough access to social networks and mail while traveling, you can choose the junior representative of “BIT” from MTS; if you expect more active Internet surfing, including website browsing, “Maxi” is suitable. “Super” will be chosen by those who plan to work with documents online, send heavy files and watch video content.
Features of the 4G MTS standard
MTS provides communications for mobile subscribers with a nominal speed of 112 Mbit/sec. For stationary users, a modem from Huawei or another manufacturer with Wi-Fi operating in accordance with the 4G standard is provided. It can provide wireless communication to 10 subscribers simultaneously. In this case, recipients may not use the standard in question, but are able to download content at high speed.

Below we will look in detail at how to enable LTE. Step-by-step instructions are suitable for mobile devices based on the Android operating system. There are two main ways to enable LTE mode. The first is in automatic mode, and the second method is manual. The easiest way to enable LTE on your smartphone or tablet is automatically. The Internet activates itself, so no action is required from the subscriber. Manual settings will require the user to perform some actions.
How to switch from 3G
What to do if MTS mobile Internet on your phone or home Internet on your computer does not work
If this smartphone model does not support 4G, then it is impossible to switch to it. To do this you will have to buy a new phone. If this standard is available, you can switch to it by specifying this network type in the settings. There is no way to make 4G on MTS if the smartphone does not support this standard.
Sometimes it may be that the phone supports this feature, but the SIM card does not. In this case, before switching from 3G to 4G MTS, you need to contact your mobile operator in order to replace it with a more modern one that has this capability.
How to make 4G
A high-speed mobile connection has long been the dream of any subscriber. When developers discovered 4G networks, the dream came true. Fourth generation networks enable users to freely surf, watch videos online, communicate in instant messengers and social networks. In order to personally experience all the benefits of this network standard, you need to set up 4G. Unfortunately, not every device can connect to this network. Therefore, before you start setting up a fourth generation network, it is worth checking compatibility with 4G.
What does it mean - “SIM card does not support 4G”
Before asking yourself the question of why there is no 4G on MTS, you need to check whether the phone and SIM card work in this range. You can easily determine on your phone whether the card supports the new technology. To do this you need to do the following:
- Go to settings.
- Enter the “SIM cards and mobile networks” section.
- Select the desired card (if your phone has two).
- Click on the line “Preferred network type”.
On iPhone, this procedure is similar. In the list provided for selection, you can see various options. If 4G is not among them, then the phone does not support this standard. If present, then it is available for use. To do this you will need a 4G MTS SIM card.
Coverage area
MTS has one of the largest coverage areas of Russian mobile operators. In order to see the card where it is exactly indicated, you need to go to the official website of the MTS company. To open the map page, you must do the following:
- In the browser you need to type the address mts.ru.
- When the home page opens, you will see the main menu at the top. You need to select “Help”.
- A page will then open where useful links will be displayed in four columns. On the far right you need to select “Our Network”. By clicking on it, you can go to view the mobile operator’s coverage map.
In the upper right part of the map you can see buttons, by clicking on which you can select the type of service shown on the map. The bottom button corresponds to the super 4G standard. The main part of the coverage is located in the central part of Russia. The further north and east you go, the smaller its area and the more areas where MTS 4G does not work.
Important! High-speed Internet coverage is located mainly around large cities. This is due to the high cost of installing base towers and the large area of Russian territory.
How to connect and configure
The procedure for how to connect 4G to MTS is discussed in detail below.
Important! Before activation, you need to obtain the necessary parameters. To do this, you can use the USSD command “*424#”. This combination must be typed on the keyboard, then you need to press the key to pick up the handset.
After sending, a message will be sent and shown on the display. It will indicate the parameters that you need to know before turning on 4G on MTS.
For this purpose, you can also use sending an SMS message to number 111. It should contain the text “333”, written without quotes. In response, you will receive an SMS containing the connection parameters.
On iPhone and Android, the setup procedures are similar.
After receiving the necessary data, you need to configure the access point (APN). To do this you need to do the following:
- You need to open the 4G MTS settings and go to the connection settings tab.
- In the name field you need to write: MTS Internet.
- You must specify the following as the access point address: internet.mts.ru.
- In the next line they write: mts.
After specifying the necessary parameters, you need to configure. How to set up 4G MTS is described below:
- Go to settings.
- Open the mobile communications section.
- Select the network type from the list and connect it. In this case, you must specify the item containing 4G.
Important! When connecting, it is recommended to specify 4G/3G/2G instead of 4G. With this choice, the connection type will be set automatically. If a 2G call comes to the phone, it will accept it. Where possible, MTS 4G LTE will be used.
Setting methods
In fact, setting up the Internet on Android devices is quite easy. Moreover, it does not require special skills and knowledge. First of all, it is worth noting that there are two options for how to set up mobile Internet on MTS on Android:
- Automatically.
- Manually.
Both options are very simple. Of course, automatic settings are simpler than manual ones, but in any case you will have to call your mobile operator and find out how access to the Internet and MMS is configured.
Automatic access setup
As a rule, modern smartphones initially accept automatic network settings. That is, when you connect a SIM card for the first time (in our case from MTS), you receive a notification that the phone is automatically configured.
In some cases, you need to call the support service of your mobile operator, name your phone model and ask them to send you automatic settings. The support worker will tell you what to do.
Automatic MTS Internet settings on Android will not take much time. Within a few minutes the settings will be sent to your phone via SMS. When you open this SMS, a message will appear indicating that the network parameters will be changed. You need to agree to the terms and confirm the installation of new parameters. After this, it is advisable to reboot the device.
Setting up the Internet manually
Manually setting up MTS Internet on Android is a little more complicated. But before you find out the phone parameters, you should find out what data you need to enter.
Typically, setting up access requires several basic elements:
- MTS Russia:
- Name – MTS Internet
- APN – internet.mts.ru
- Login – mts
- Password – mts
- Everything else is unchanged.
Since the tariff is paid by phone number, the login and password are the same for all subscribers.
Now let's look at where to enter these parameters. To do this you need to follow a few simple steps:
- Go to the application menu, find the “Settings” shortcut and launch it.
- Go to the “Other networks” section.
- Select "Mobile networks".
- Go to the “Access Points” section.
- Here, as a rule, there are already automatic access points. If you need to add a new one, click on the plus sign in the upper right corner.
- Enter the above data and leave the remaining points unchanged. After entering the required information, save the changes and restart the device. As you can see, the question of how to set up an MTS access point on Android does not require any special knowledge or skills.
What tariffs work on 4G
MTS has the following tariffs using the standard in question:
- "Tariffishche";
- "My Smart";
- "Smart";
- "Our Smart";
- X.
Although the last one listed is connected as an unlimited tariff, in fact it is not one. Here, customers are provided with 7 GB of traffic monthly free of charge in accordance with the terms of the tariff. Additionally, free access to a large number of popular services is provided.
Important! For tablets and modems, there are MTS tariffs for unlimited 4G Internet “MTS Connect-4” and “MTS-Tablet”.
Connection
Let's try to figure out which internet tariff is the cheapest offered by the operator. However, an important point here is that proposals are primarily formed based on the goals and devices used. The Mobile TeleSystems provider offers its tariffs for different types of devices, including unlimited Internet for a smartphone, tablet and computer with the ability to connect via a router.
The only condition is that they must be equipped with the appropriate module.
Before you start using it, you need to configure the device by switching it to universal mode. Then it will be able to receive all 2G, 3G, 4G and LTE networks. MTS promises speeds on Internet tariffs on mobile phones and other devices of up to 187 Mbit/s.
