MTS corporate tariffs for 2021 for legal entities - detailed review

Most mobile companies have long been developing various corporate tariffs that simplify the workflow of any organization. A distinctive feature of such tariff packages is the possibility of jointly connecting a company with the subsequent use of services in an advantageous manner. Unlimited calls throughout the country and abroad, distribution of Internet traffic, sending a large number of messages - all this is provided by tariffs for legal entities developed by Russian mobile operators.

What are non-public tariffs

Let's go from the opposite. A public tariff is a package of certain services that a mobile operator, through all its open (public) sources, offers to its customers and those who may be interested in it.

A non-public tariff is usually called data packages that are not common to a wide range of MTS clients. Moreover, the conditions provided by them are much better due to the comparatively lower price and greater services provided. There are no pitfalls here; usually everything is always outlined in detail during the purchase of a tariff plan.

There are three types of secret tariffs for operators:

1. Corporate – when one company, by agreement with a business client, is allocated hundreds or thousands of rooms for employees, with agreed favorable rates and at a reduced price. Such cooperation is beneficial to both parties. The operator receives many clients in one transaction, the Legal entity receives cool conditions for mobile communications “wholesale”.
2. For its own, MTS can encourage its employees (agents, dealers who bring a large flow of customers to the operator) by offering cool conditions as bonuses. The practice is quite common, and an employee can be given up to a dozen “conditional codes” for one person to transfer to the non-public tariff of his close circle. But with a greater degree of probability, such “codes appear” not only among relatives, but also among resellers.
3. Special conditions in an attempt to retain the client - MTS may offer more favorable conditions for you if you have been using their services for a long time, but at some point expressed a desire to switch to another operator. Pointing out that their tariffs do not suit you. If you explain this in an MTS communication salon, the manager will try to keep you by offering more favorable tariff packages for the price you are paying now, or offering a 25-40% discount on the use of your package.

The last step is quite risky, because here you need to show your acting skills. Otherwise, they will recognize your falsity, sign the translation, wish you good luck and add it to the database of potentially undesirable clients for cooperation.

Check who the phone is registered to?

Of course, each number owner can use a personal account for the number and change the tariff plan, but the number will still not be registered to you. This will be revealed, for example, if there is a desire to connect to 4G Internet, and to do this the owner needs to change the card to USIM; this can only be done if you have a passport.

At the same time, not being the owner, it actually doesn’t matter to you what payments are charged to the phone; you have no obligations to the company. You don't need to disable anything, you can just get rid of the card.

New SIM cards with the MTS 240 tariff

Hidden packages change every year, since the operator has every right to open, close or change them, since this is also his product. Non-public MTS tariffs for 2021 are available in small quantities, and among them you can purchase one interesting copy online.

If you are ready to change your number, consider purchasing a new SIM card with the MTS 240 tariff. It is not universal and can only work with a smartphone.

Alas, MTS uses technologies to track the operation of the SIM card, namely, in which device it is located. If this is a modem, then the Internet will not be distributed. This rule applies even to modems with custom settings.

What is the advantage of MTS 240:

1. The first year the subscription fee is 240 rubles per month (the operator changed the conditions, added 10 rubles, now the fee is 250 rubles).
2. Calls within MTS are free.
3. Calls to any numbers within Russia – 800 minutes.
4. SMS/MMS – 800 pcs. per month.
5. Internet – unlimited.
6. There are no speed restrictions (maximum, up to 100 Mbit/s).

What you should know when buying and using a card:

1. The price for a SIM card is up to 600 rubles.
2. The balance on the SIM card is 0 rubles.
3. Initial SIM replenishment is at least 250 rubles.
4. Starting from the 13th month, the monthly fee increases to 450 rubles per month.
5. There is no way to distribute the Internet from a smartphone.
6. It is prohibited to use a SIM card in the modem (it will not work).

Simka can be used throughout Russia, except Chukotka, Kamchatka, Norilsk, Magadan, the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

But this is not the only tariff that is implemented by the operator.

In 2021, at a price of 240 rubles per month, a “Tariffishche” was developed (not to be confused with the public one of the same name, which you can go to from your number). With its help, you can use unlimited Internet via a modem or distribute it via a smartphone.

It also operates throughout Russia, except for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug. But there are still differences with the first:

1. 240 rubles is the monthly fee for the first 6 months. Starting from the 7th month you need to pay 450 rubles.
2. Unlimited maximum speed up to 100 Mbps.
3. The Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol can use it, but for the monthly fee 340 rubles for the first year. Starting from the 13th month, the bar reaches 550 rubles/month.
4. The price for a SIM card is 1490 rubles.

In fact, the first option is an ideal solution for smartphones, the second – for modems.

Hidden rates for existing numbers

Not everyone is ready to change their SIM card if the non-public tariff is twice as profitable. MTS also has something to offer in this regard. Namely, non-public rates for numbers that you have been using for a long time.

The tariff, whose name is “MTS Personal,” is available as public (on the official website) and non-public (purchased from resellers).

The difference in monthly payment is noticeable. The only condition is that for a tariff with loyal prices you need to pay 2,700 rubles (the price depends on the dealer). The benefits can be felt in the future after using it for more than six months.

Main characteristics of the hidden tariff plan:

1. Action throughout Russia (Chukotka, Kamchatka and other remote regions).
2. Internet – unlimited (in all cellular networks up to 4G+).
3. Works with tablets, modems, smartphones, routers.

Connection conditions:

1. The number is registered to an individual.
2. The number is at least 60 days old.
3. The amount in the account is at least 200 rubles.
4. Connecting a tariff plan after purchase can take from 5 to 20 business days.
5. The subscription fee is written off in one day (full cost), at the time of connecting to MTS Personal.

Differences in non-public tariffs.

Calls within the Russian Federation	700 min	900 min	1100 min	1300 min
SMS	700 pcs.	900 pcs.	1100 pcs.	1300 pcs.

If you want to connect a non-public tariff within 1-3 business days with unlimited Internet, you may be interested in “SMART Unlimited”. It is similar to MTS Personal 190:

1. Price per month – 200 rubles.
2. There are no restrictions on distributing the Internet with a smartphone or working with modems.
3. Calls to any local numbers – 600 minutes.
4. Long-distance calls – 3 rubles/min.
5. Every minute after the call limit is exhausted – 2 rubles/min.

2. The owner of the number is an individual.
3. The number must be active in the MTS network for at least a month.
4. The plan activation period is from 1 to 3 business days.

Unlimited Internet does not apply to Yakutia, Norilsk, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. You can buy “SMART Unlimited” for 2,700 rubles.

How to connect a non-public MTS tariff

Connecting a non-public tariff is practically no different from activating a regular one. The main thing is to carefully read the tariff activation conditions, fulfill all the conditions and then start connecting.

When purchasing SIM cards or tariff plans for your numbers from dealers, follow one algorithm:

1. Check the supplier's website and make sure that they are not conducting fraudulent activities. To do this, read reviews about the site/company/products on other sites, pay attention to the presence of a secure connection (https), the presence of the site’s main page, and user agreement.
2. Read the “FAQ” section, in which the dealer indicates exactly how you can connect a non-public tariff. Typically, this information is not publicly disclosed and you need to contact the seller personally through one of the communication channels.
3. Purchase the required SIM or plan.
4. Write by email (or other contact) to receive feedback on activating their products.

You should not delay the SIM card activation request for 3 or more weeks, because you may lose the warranty. Also, you lose your warranty if the activation request was filled out incorrectly. Additional information about activation and guarantee of use of purchased services can be found on the dealer’s website.

What are the dangers of using hidden tariffs?

Many customers know firsthand that MTS can unilaterally change the terms of existing public tariff plans. As for non-public tariffs, which are the property of MTS, it is impossible to give a 100% guarantee that the company will not unilaterally change the conditions in them either.

Service packages will work as long as they are beneficial to the provider and the subscriber makes an advance payment every month without delay. If the provider considers that for some reason it is not profitable for him to maintain this tariff, he can change the limit of the traffic provided or the price, and notify the subscriber after the fact.

When purchasing services from dealers, it is recommended to work with trusted sellers. Typically, such companies:

• Have direct agreements with operators and Internet providers;
• They provide guarantees for purchased products (SIM);
• They provide a post-warranty for a year (depending on the dealer), if the operator has increased the price of the tariff, within 50% for the purchase of a new tariff plan
• If the MTS tariff is changed unilaterally in the direction of a significant increase in price (more than 30% of the original cost), they may offer another tariff as compensation;
• They return money if the order does not reach the recipient.

Conclusion

Non-public MTS tariffs are in demand and are actively being considered by everyone who needs unlimited Internet 30-50% cheaper than providers or public tariff plans of a cellular operator. Communication, by the way, is also available in a decent equivalent to any numbers throughout the Russian Federation.

Such service packages are purchased not from MTS, but from its dealers and agents who directly cooperate with the operator. A secret tariff can be compared to a risky investment, which with a 90% probability, in the long term, will reduce the cost of using mobile communications while maintaining the services in the quantities you are used to using.
