Connecting and setting up SMS and MMS messages on MTS

Despite the fact that the mobile Internet and instant messengers are gaining more and more popularity among network users, multimedia messages do not lose their relevance, so many subscribers of a cellular operator are interested in the answer to the question of how to set up mms on MTS. Not every user has access to the World Wide Web from a smartphone via mobile traffic or Wi-Fi, but using mms you can always send a photo, short video or melody without using an Internet connection.

How to connect MMS

MMS service is a special function that allows subscribers to exchange multimedia SMS with graphics, photos, text information and audio. The price of one outgoing message starts from 9.9 rubles (depending on the tariff), and receiving it is free.

The main question is how to set up MMS on MTS for correct use of the service. In almost all tariff plans, the option is included by default and no additional actions are required. If you enter the correct MMS settings, the subscriber gets excellent opportunities to transfer any multimedia files (within the specified size).

The cost of MMS from MTS can be indicated taking into account the tariff plan or ordered as a package.

For example, MMC+ is connected by entering the USSD code

*111*10# or through your Personal Account.

If the question is how to connect MMS to MTS for free (for a standard service), you can use one of the following ways:

• send USSD command to
  *111*18#;

• send a message with the text 2122 to the number
  111;

• activate the option through your personal account;
• call the operator.

There is no subscription fee for mobile Internet connection and multimedia messages. The main thing is to enter the settings correctly. This can be done manually or automatically.

• dial USSD command
  *111*2156#;

• use your personal account;

This option does not include a monthly fee, and there are no high connection costs.

Connecting and setting up SMS from MTS

SMS messages are activated automatically on any mobile operator tariff plans. If necessary, the subscriber can turn off and then turn on SMS reception in the Personal Account or in the “My MTS” application.

Description and cost

SMS are short text messages that can be sent to other subscribers. The length of one SMS is 70 characters in Cyrillic or 160 characters in Latin. If the text consists of more characters, it is split into several SMS.

The service is activated free of charge for all subscribers. The cost of one message may vary depending on the user's tariff plan. Some tariffs include a package with a certain number of SMS. If it is not included in the subscription plan or runs out, in order to save on correspondence, the subscriber can connect additional packages of 100 or 300 SMS.

Messages sent to short numbers of paid content or service providers are charged separately.

How to connect and deactivate a service in your Personal Account or mobile application

In the Personal Account on the company website or in the mobile application, the subscriber can disable and then, if necessary, enable SMS reception if the need arises.

To disable SMS in your Personal Account, you must:

1. Open the website, log in to your account.
2. Select the “Services” section.
3. Go to the “Connected” tab, expand the “Free” list.

4. Find “Short Message Service”, click “Disable”.

5. Confirm action.

To reconnect SMS to MTS, you need to:

1. Open the “Services” section.
2. Go to the “Available” tab, select the “Messages” tab.

3. Find, click “Connect”.
4. Confirm the operation.

After activating the service, an SMS notification will be sent to your smartphone.

In the same way, you can disable and connect short SMS messages to MTS in the mobile application. The process is completely identical to the procedure on the site.

SMS settings for manual entry on the phone

If for some reason your phone is not configured to send SMS, you will need to enter the necessary parameters manually. To do this, you need to open the messages section and go to settings. On phones of different brands, with different OSes and their own skins, they can be placed differently, but usually you need to click on the button with three dots at the top or bottom and select “Settings”.

In this section you need to specify the MTS SMS center number to configure messages.

Other options (may not be available on all smartphones):

• message type: Text/Text, SMS, Standard, Normal (depending on the device model);
• data channel: GSM;
• message storage period: maximum.

If the subscriber needs to receive SMS delivery reports, this option must be activated in the settings.

To receive message delivery notifications on iOS, you need to add an exclamation mark before the entered message text, for example: “!Hello.” The recipient will receive the test without the “Hello” symbol, and the sender will receive a notification that the SMS has been delivered.

Why are messages not being sent?

If messages on your phone are not sent, there may be the following reasons.

1. Invalid MTS SMS center number. You need to make sure that it is indicated correctly – “+7”, always with “+7”. Even if it is entered correctly, you need to delete it and enter it again.
2. Check other parameters and make sure they are filled out correctly.
3. The SMS memory may be full - you need to delete unnecessary messages.
4. If the Black List is enabled in your phone settings, you need to disable it.
5. A possible solution would be to create a new message rather than sending a reply to the one received. The recipient's number must be entered manually using “+7”, rather than selecting it from the contact list.
6. Sometimes simply restarting the smartphone helps.

If all of the above methods do not produce results, you need to contact the Support Service or visit the company’s call center.
