The best MTS tariffs for a modem: review of current operator offers in 2021

More recently, mobile operators announced that the Internet is now available in 4G quality. Of course, not all models of smartphones and tablets are capable of reproducing such speed. In order to use this kind of Internet now, you don’t have to go buy a new device. A new 4G Wi-Fi router from MTS has appeared on the market. It allows you to connect from five to ten devices via a local network and enjoy speeds of up to 300 Mbit per second.

Tariffs for 4G Wi-Fi router MTS

At the moment, MTS offers several tariffs for the router, differing in capabilities, cost and connection features.

"MTS Connect-4"

When connecting to the presented tariff, the subscriber is given a router for use. In the first two weeks, you can use active options, which provide an impressive package of gigabytes. After the time has passed, the user connects one of the main packages, presented as follows:

• Mini. The cost of the subscription fee is only 500 rubles. 7 GB of Internet traffic is provided for a month. There are no more privileges or any offers here.
• Maxi. The cost of the package per month is 800 rubles. For this money, 15 GB of traffic is represented. Traffic will be calculated only during daytime. If you use it at night from 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock, unlimited provision of services is included. The package also provides a 30% discount on television connection from MTS.
• VIP. The cost per month is set at 1200 rubles. In a month, a user can download 30 GB of Internet pages during the daytime, and unlimited use is also valid at night. When connecting to television, a 50% discount is provided.

Like any other cellular operator, MTS offers service packages that are compatible with others. In this case, when you subscribe to the MTS Connect-4 tariff, they give a discount on television.

MTS Tablet

At the moment, it is impossible to connect the presented tariff, since it was archived back in June 2021. But subscribers who connected before the specified time actively use all the previously offered privileges. Their expenses are 400 rubles per month. For the specified amount, unlimited use of mobile television, which operates throughout Russia, and Internet traffic of 4 GB are offered.

For laptop

A special router is designed to connect to a laptop. It assumes Internet operation up to 4 Mbit/s, the cost of the proposed tariff is 820 rubles. Laptop plans are also suitable for tablet devices.

The presented tariff has certain restrictions. For example, if a user spends more than 150 GB in 3 months, his Internet speed will be reduced to 128 Kbps. Moreover, the cost will not decrease, and to fix the problem you will simply have to make the monthly payment again. There are no other ways to resolve the issue.

Unlimited

This tariff is intended for connection with the primary use of a smartphone. Here you need to use a router that is small in size and compact for constant use. It is connected to Android or a computer and the appropriate settings for Internet distribution via Wi-Fi are carried out. The tariff assumes a monthly Internet limit of 10 GB for a cost of 350 rubles.

Our smart

Our Smart tariff is used in a similar way to Unlimited. The cost of the service is 1 thousand rubles per month, but it justifies the costs:

• This tariff can be connected to several users at the same time, so the cost is divided according to the number of subscribers.
• From May 2021, unlimited traffic is offered.
• The subscriber who signs up for the package is given 25 GB for distribution to numbers additionally connected to the main user.

But when connecting, you should also take into account the disadvantages, which consist of two main points. The first is that unused minutes included in the tariff are not carried over to subsequent months. Therefore, if a subscriber does not use cellular communications in sufficient quantities, the tariff presented to him becomes unprofitable even when shared with other users.

The second point is more interesting - if the number is not used for 90 days (using the Internet is also included in the definition of the case), money begins to be debited from the account at 3 rubles per day. To start using the tariff again, you will have to deposit additional funds - to cover the negative balance, leaving it at 0.

Smart Top

This service package operates similarly to the previous ones and is designed for connection to a smartphone. The cost of the package is 1950 rubles per month, but along with the Internet you can use the connection - 3 thousand minutes are provided. Internet is limited to 20 GB per month. The composition of the package is suitable for connecting organizations engaged in active activities, where they not only have to use the Internet, but also make calls to clients.

The benefits of the tariff include the transfer of unused minutes to the next month and absolutely unlimited calls within the network. Therefore, the cost of the package is justified, but only if the subscriber’s shortcomings do not frighten him. Disadvantages are the lack of unlimited use of social networks and the ability to send messages throughout Russia.

Ultra

The package provides unlimited speed in receiving traffic, as well as the availability of 60 GB for 2 weeks. This is a trial period, after which payment begins as you use the Internet. So, for every megabyte, 3 rubles are debited from the account.

All tariffs that are designed for connection to a smartphone can be easily connected and start working on a computer, laptop or Android. There are several connection methods here. To use them, you need to get advice from an employee of the MTS cellular company.

Where is the best place to buy a router?

The provider recommends buying equipment only from him, but no one forbids visiting a specialized store or ordering a router via the Internet. It’s not worth buying used ones; they are often sold with defects. MTS offers the following models (all provide bonus 100 GB of traffic for the first day and 60 GB for the next 2 weeks):

• 4G Wi-Fi router PowerBank – 4500 rub.;
• Wi-Fi router 4G+ 8231FT – 5900 RUR;
• 4G Wi-Fi router 8212FT – 2600 rub.;
• 4G Wi-Fi router 874FT – 3300 rub.;
• 4G Wi-Fi USB modem 872FT – 2900 rub.

If you are just planning to connect to MTS, then first check whether there is a provider in your home and make sure the quality of the operator’s coverage in your area. If the signal is weak, there is no point in purchasing an expensive router with a bandwidth of 150 or 300 Mbit.

Which unlimited Internet tariff for an MTS modem is better?

It is impossible to say exactly which unlimited Internet will be better for the subscriber. In this case, they are guided by the frequency of Internet use and the amount of time spent online. Therefore, 30 GB is not enough for some people, while 7 GB will be too much for others, but since this is the minimum of the available tariffs, they have to choose it.

Another important factor is the ability to use unlimited Internet at night. Such offers are suitable for anyone who wants to use unlimited traffic. To ensure that each subscriber finds a suitable and profitable offer for themselves, MTS offers several tariffs.

What options can be connected on the modem?

There are several options from MTS that subscribers can connect at their discretion. Each of them has its own features and characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Internet option for a day

The presented option makes it possible to use the Internet daily and in unlimited quantities - 550 MB is given per day, which requires the subscriber to pay 50 rubles per day. It is noteworthy that money will not be withdrawn from the account every day, but only at those moments when the user goes online. Therefore, there may be days of “downtime”. The option under consideration is convenient for cases when an MTS cellular subscriber does not use the Internet daily.

Activating the option is simple - just enter the character set *111*67# from your phone. If you need to turn it off - *111*670#.

Internet Mini

There is a Mini option, when you can use the Internet with a traffic load of up to 7 GB per month for only 500 rubles. A month in this case is calculated as 30 days. But if the subscriber has used all 7 GB, he purchases additional quotas for 75 rubles. A total of 15 quotas are allowed to be purchased. Upon completion, the Internet is resumed through the “Turbo button”.

To activate the mini option, you must dial *111*160*1# from your phone, and to disable it, *111*160*2#.

Internet Maxi

The presented option will require payment of 800 rubles per month, but Internet use will be practically unlimited. In other words, an unlimited tariff is set at night, and 15 GB of traffic is allocated for daytime use.

To connect, just dial *111*161*1#, respectively, to disconnect - *111*160*2#.

Internet VIP

This option is popular among MTS subscribers, as it allows them to freely use the Internet. During the daytime, traffic of 30 GB is allocated, while at night Internet use occurs without restrictions. You will have to pay 1,200 rubles per month for the service.

If the user exceeds the traffic limit, packages of 3 GB and costing 350 rubles each will be activated. If there is no amount in the account, the system begins to write off 52 rubles daily.

To connect you need to dial *111*166*1#, and to disable the option - *111*166*2#.

Device overview

Let's consider one of the most popular routers from MTS.

In appearance, the router is a compact device, black. Dimensions of the router: thickness 14 millimeters, length – 102 and width 66. On the front panel there are indicators for charge, wi-fi, mail and signal level.

4G router, equipment:

The MTS mobile Wi-Fi router has rounded edges. Connectors and ports are located along the edges of the device. On the back panel there is a sticker with the IMEI code, connection password and mac address.

The device turns on when you press the “Power” button, which is located on the front side. The battery capacity allows the router to work in active mode without charging for almost a whole day.

MTS “Turbo button” is the best way to extend the Internet on a modem

The conditions for enabling the “Turbo button” have already been discussed above. It is necessary if the paid traffic has run out and the subscriber urgently needs to access the Internet.

To connect it, you can go to the official MTS website and connect additional traffic there. But you can do this easier - by using a short set of characters.

Accessing the Internet through an MTS router does not present any difficulties or excessive financial costs. It is enough to carefully study your needs and capabilities. Afterwards, you can begin to activate the appropriate service package.

How to choose the best option

The decision on the optimal connection method is made individually, taking into account the location of the dacha, the availability of MTS operator coverage and financial capabilities. Let's draw a few conclusions:

1. Wired Internet guarantees high speed and stability of the Network. The downside is that you have to pay for it all year round, and the connection is not available in all suburban areas. If the cost of the service is too high, it is better to refuse this option.
2. Application of 3G and 4G Internet. This is the best solution if you have stable MTS coverage at your dacha. To solve the problem, it is enough to buy equipment in the form of a modem and distribute the Network throughout your area. The most budget option is to use a smartphone for these purposes, but there are restrictions on speed and distance.
3. Connect to a Wi-Fi access point. This method is not available in all summer cottages. When connecting, you should remember about speed and traffic restrictions.
4. Installing a satellite dish is suitable for all cases when other options for bringing the Internet from MTS to the dacha are not available.

In addition, when analyzing options, it is important to take into account current tariffs and the willingness to pay a subscription fee throughout the year.
