Few people remember, but at first most operators did not have the concept of roaming, as it is understood now. Subscribers traveled from one region to another and were not afraid that they would have to pay more for traveling beyond certain limits. The restriction was in large areas. Few people knew how to connect additional services in order to pay less outside the borders of their region. Now almost every subscriber knows that MTS Internet roaming in Russia is paid at a special tariff price. Before you have time to leave your home region, you receive an SMS notification that the subscriber has left your home region, so different prices begin to apply, according to the tariff.
Internet "MTS" in roaming abroad
MTS Internet abroad is one of the most important criteria for any mobile operator tariff plan. Modern technologies and powerful technical progress allow subscribers to take advantage of the best offers from. Not a single client of a mobile operator will need to buy a SIM card from a local operator if he is flying somewhere. After all, mobile Internet in roaming from MTS is maximally adapted to the needs of users of different age groups and communication profiles.
Note! MTS roaming abroad costs much more than domestic Russian services. But special additions allow you to reduce the price to a more acceptable one.
Before traveling, subscribers only need to select the appropriate tariff or individual options. Through your personal account you can control all transactions. The company has developed offers for lovers of calls, text messages and fans of Internet communication.
Options for calls and SMS
People for whom messages and calls outside their home region are important should know that services from MTS can significantly reduce costs. Among them there are few options that can provide communication on favorable terms, but they are very effective and are used for different tariff plans. These services include:
- All Russia Smart
- Everywhere is like home Smart
- Everywhere feels like home
Now you need to understand in detail each service, its cost, conditions and connection methods.
All Russia Smart
MTS clients who use tariff plans from the Smart line can activate an additional option called “All Russia Smart”. With such a service, users will be able to communicate, send messages, and access the Internet anywhere in Russia, at the same price as in their home region.
This option is available only by prepayment, and the monthly fee is 100 rubles/month. The fee is debited one-time every new month. The first debit is carried out during the activation of the service, and further debits will take place at the beginning of the new month, on the day the service is activated.
To activate this service, you need to dial a short request *111*1031# on your device and make a call. By the way, using a similar combination, you can disable the service if it is no longer needed. Connection and disconnection is also carried out through your personal account.
If you activate the service and use communications outside your region, the 15 rubles per day tariff will not be charged.
On Smart and Hype tariffs, activate the Additional package of 200 minutes.
Everywhere is like home Smart
For users who use certain tariff plans from the Smart family, it is recommended to use the offer called “Smart at home everywhere”. For whom exactly the service is available, you can find out on the operator’s website. With the option connected, you can communicate and send messages, as well as access the Internet while outside your home region, but the tariffs will be similar to your home network.
It is recommended to find out all the details on tariffs for roaming in Russia for a specific tariff plan on the MTS website. It is worth noting that users who have an active Smart, Smart+, Smart Nonstop, Smart Top, or Unlimited plan will not be able to connect to the service. For other offers from the tariff line, activation remains possible. You can activate or deactivate using the service combination *111*1021#. After the introduction, you need to make a call, and then a menu for further actions will be turned on.
The subscription fee for the service will be 100 rubles per month. The first debit will be at the time of activation of the service, and subsequent funds will be charged from the new month, on the date of activation of the service.
Call abroad at the price for your home region! Wi-Fi Calling service
“Everywhere is like home”
This is an excellent offer for roaming in a country that has a subscription fee that is charged every day, but it should be noted that the option is very profitable and the client will be able to “recoup” the amount for one incoming call. Calls at standard rates are higher than the monthly fee. Using the option, users will not pay for incoming directions outside the home network, and the cost of the service will be 7 rubles/day. This service also works in Crimea.
There are still some benefits you need to know about:
- Low price for calls to any numbers in Russia.
- 100 free SMS.
In other words, whoever uses the offer will be able to enjoy preferential communication rates while in any region of the country. Free messages are added every day, incoming calls will be free and calls made will be cheap. Without connecting to the service, the cost of a call will be 8.9 rubles/min. With the service, a minute of conversation will be 3 rubles/min. The disadvantages of such an offer include an activation fee of 30 rubles. It is debited only once, during service activation.
To connect, network users can use their personal account or service request *111*3333#. In addition, there is another quick way to activate - send a message to 111, and indicate the number 3333 in the body of the letter. The service may already be connected, in which case you can clarify the data by message, where nothing is indicated. An empty SMS is sent to 8111. The response SMS will contain information about the status of the service.
After a trip or business trip, services can be turned off so that the subscription fee is not charged. To do this, you need to send a message to 111 and indicate 33330 in the body of the letter.
MTS tariffs for Internet in roaming
The operator does not have separate TPs for communication abroad. The company's subscribers use the usual plan in other countries, supplementing it with options that reduce the cost of communication. The choice of the most favorable tariff when staying in Europe is individual. When connecting to the service, you should focus on two main factors:
- Call prices without discounts. You should visit the official portal of the cellular operator https://mts.ru, open the “Roaming and intercity” tab through the option in “Tariffs and Services”. Next, you need to switch to the “Worldwide Travel” tariff. Immediately after this, two forms will be displayed - with a choice of destination and current TP. The user must provide the required information by clicking on the “How much will the services cost” link.
- Possibility of connecting additional services. To use the service, you need to do all the steps as in the first option. Below the fields, click on the “Go to service catalog” tab, selecting the option you like for MTS working abroad. After this, a description of the service will appear. The user will have to open the “More details” link.
How to turn off Unlimited Internet abroad on Tele2
To avoid ruining MTS roaming tariffs abroad, you will have to activate one or more of the 8 active services. Here's what they are intended for, and on which TPs you won't be able to work with the options:
- Premium is suitable for talking on the phone and surfing the Internet. It is convenient because you have to pay a subscription fee daily while using the network. Smart “Zabugorische” operates on all current tariffs, compatibility with archived ones can be checked through your personal account;
- "BIT", "SuperBIT" and "MaxiBIT" are needed abroad for the Internet. They work on almost all TPs, excluding options with the words “caring” and “cool” in the name. It will not be possible to add to a number at the same time as the previous one;
- “Zero without borders” - you can talk to residents of the Russian Federation for free. Does not work on corporate plans and some archive plans;
- "SMS on Travel" promises great prices on text messaging. Only individuals can use the service;
- “Turbo button abroad” removes limits on network access speed. Compatible with all TP;
- “Travel expenses” does not provide bonuses or packages - it only notifies the subscriber that the established limit on communication expenses has been reached.
Note! For those who are going to communicate a lot on the phone, it is better to choose the “Zero without Borders” tariff plan.
The cost of TP daily is 145 rubles.
How to use?
After roaming is connected, you can use access to the network, taking into account the tariffs mentioned above, from 10 rubles per 40 kb of information received. This option is very expensive, so to save money, it is advisable to immediately connect one of the special options and use the Network without restrictions.
Otherwise, the use of MTS Internet outside the home region occurs as usual. The user can access maps, visit websites, listen to music and perform other actions. The main thing is to control the number of MB downloaded to avoid high costs. Please note that each additional option has its own limitations.
Terms and conditions for Internet traffic tariffs abroad
How to connect unlimited mobile Internet from Beeline to roaming
The Russian mobile operator has certain conditions:
- there are no locks on the number;
- availability of any MTS tariff plan - except for the "Guest", "Guest 7", "Guest 30", "Super max" and "Smart Roaming" tariffs.
Important! If the subscriber connected to MTS after 07/06/2017, there is no need to activate it yourself - it is included in the list of services on the SIM card owner’s number, with the exception of the “Children’s”, “Close”, “Guest 30” and “Telematics” tariffs.
The most popular service is Unlim. The user receives 100 MB of unlimited speed every day. And then Internet speed up to 128 kBit/sec without volume restrictions.
Free Wi-Fi hotspots
If you travel abroad, you can safely rely on open Wi-Fi networks. They can be found near some cafes, restaurants, hotels, train stations, airports and other crowded places. If we talk about European countries, it is very easy to find an Internet access point there. The USA, Canada and other developed countries are the same.
The coverage area of open Wi-Fi networks is quite wide, so it will most likely meet your needs without any fees. If you need the connection to be present in your device constantly, then you should pay attention to paid services. For example, the same wireless connection networks from the MTS operator. They are located in many countries, so where you go, you are likely to find them.
How to connect MTS Internet abroad
To use the Internet while roaming, you first need to activate international roaming on MTS. To do this you will have to use one of the following options:
- USSD – request: key combination *111*2192# “Call”.
- Request for technical consultation number +7-495-766-01-66.
- Online contact to the manager at 8-800-250-08-90.
- Personal account through the application or website of a Russian mobile operator.
How to connect MTS Internet for a modem: choosing a tariff and conditions
Important! Many subscribers prefer to carry out actions through a visit to an MTS communication salon.
How to stay online?
Let's start with the fact that you can work with the Internet in different ways - both free and those that require a certain fee. It all depends on what you expect when connecting to the Internet. The tasks vary depending on the duration of your connection, its regularity, and the amount of data transferred. For example, going to VK and sending a couple of messages cannot be compared with downloading a movie using Torrent. Therefore, you need to take this into account when looking for the Internet abroad.
MTS, for example, is a leader in the field of mobile connections in roaming. Therefore, we will talk about this company in today’s article, talking about the Internet for mobile devices. True, the cost of such a connection is quite high. In the meantime, let's look at other options for staying online. Some of them, by the way, require absolutely no payment.
Limitation
The international roaming service will be activated only if the subscriber has been a client on this number for more than a year or provided that more than 650 rubles have been spent on any communication services from the account over the past six months.
Another point that creates restrictions on mobile Internet is the fact of mandatory monthly replenishment.
Paid Wi-Fi from MTS
Let's start by telling you the price of connecting and using services - it's 40 rubles for every hour of access. It is impossible to say that it is cheap. In fact, the cost of services is quite high, even taking into account the comfortable conditions for the user and flexible settings of the tariff plan. By the way, nothing is reported about it on the company’s website.
But it is known that the MTS network has 800 Internet access points around the world. Everyone has the same password and login, which will be provided to you as a subscriber to the service. Access points are located anywhere - in various entertainment venues, at transport infrastructure facilities, in places where tourists gather.
Mobile Internet and its advantages
However, there are situations when we are not able to log in from a fixed wireless Internet point. For example, we are traveling across the country, far from Wi-Fi routers, but need to check our route using online maps. Of course, only a mobile connection is suitable for such needs. It is provided, for example, by MTS. Roaming (Internet) abroad will cost more than within the country, but the quality of the service will remain quite high. There is no need to worry about connection speed. The main thing is to choose the tariff with which you would like to interact and configure it correctly.
How to set up Wi-Fi?
MTS makes it very easy to set up Internet abroad. Since the service subscriber receives a password and login on his mobile phone, all he needs to connect is to enter these data. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to transfer them to anyone - the system will not authorize a second device under the same parameters. Therefore, if you would like to share the same key with friends, you will be disappointed.
But the advantage of such a connection is its absolute simplicity and speed. No need to worry about whether your phone will get a signal or not. You can be absolutely sure that Wi-Fi is a stable, high-speed connection that provides ample opportunities for your tablet, smartphone or laptop, even while traveling.
Eventually
And in the end, this is what we get: Really true unlimited without restrictions is available for 1600 ₽ per day only in the “Super BIT abroad” option and only in “Popular countries”. Everything else, by and large, is very expensive and uninteresting to most subscribers. Perhaps businessmen who cannot do without Internet access for work may need all these options.
For ordinary subscribers who go on vacation mainly to countries that are included in the “Popular” group, it is easy to find free wifi access points in any cafe/restaurant or hotel in these countries. And if you really need a lot of Internet, buy a “local” SIM card in the host country. I do not recommend connecting in any way.
