It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it works!
Despite the fact that mobile communications in Russia are affordable compared to other countries, subscribers always want to pay less. And this desire is quite understandable, since everyone wants to save money. Not everyone knows, but there is a real way to reduce the subscription fee according to the tariff of any operator. It doesn’t work 100% of the time, but it’s extremely easy to use—it doesn’t take much time. This instruction tells you how to get a discount on tariffs of the MTS mobile operator.
Activation recommendations
How to activate bonuses on MTS from your phone or computer correctly? To do this, you need to first familiarize yourself with the list of services provided:
- For calls within the network (50-300 min.).
- For minutes to other operators in Russia (25-100 min.).
- For SMS messages (25-100 pcs.).
- For MMS messages (10-50 pcs.).
- For Internet traffic (500 MB).
Please note that the bonus program is constantly being adjusted. That is why, to obtain up-to-date information, you should first contact the operator or visit the corresponding section of the company’s official website.
Can I exchange points for money? The cellular network does not provide this opportunity to subscribers. This is necessary to eliminate the possibility of converting points into real money for withdrawal from the account.
What is the essence of the method
Each “Big Four” operator, which includes MegaFon, MTS, Beeline and Tele2, sets itself the main goal of collecting the largest possible subscriber base. The struggle between mobile operators has become so fierce that non-standard methods are increasingly being used to retain subscribers.
Operators not only offer favorable rates or special offers, but also make individual discounts on communications. But such discounts are not offered to all subscribers at once, but only to those who are thinking about changing the operator for any reason.
The essence of the method, which allows you to save on mobile communications, is precisely that the operator begins to consider you such a subscriber. And you don’t even need to leave home to do this.
How to activate points for the Internet on MTS
In order to activate points for Internet traffic, you should first read the step-by-step guide. The service is activated for all subscribers without exception, which does not require any additional actions. It turns out that the accumulation of points occurs in a free mode for all users of the system.
This process occurs as follows:

- When sending SMS messages of various types.
- When using mobile Internet.
- When paying for goods and services through a mobile operator.
To activate, you can use any of the methods presented above. Among the most popular options are USSD request and personal account in the system. To connect to the Internet for bonuses, you need to dial 4555 or enter the request *111*455*1#.
MTS “Personal” tariff with a 70% discount – how to connect?
So, my dear readers, today we will talk about how to reduce your communication costs if you use the MTS mobile operator and get pretty good conditions, namely, the “Personal” tariff with a 70% discount forever.
I became the owner of an MTS SIM card more than six months ago, when I transferred my Beeline number to MTS, and I transferred it because it has more or less beautiful numbers, namely 4 repeating threes. And yes, because. the number in Beeline was not even a month old, then no one kept me there, offering more interesting rates and discounts for Beeline.
Connect the tariff.
After I switched to MTS, I regularly paid 500 per month for the “Unlimited” tariff for almost 3 months, later I got tired of it, I activated a 10% discount for autopayment and knocked out another 10% through chat with support, in total I started paying 360 rubles per month.
In addition, I actively bought MTS cashback at half price, that is, if I needed 360 rubles for payment, I paid the person 180 rubles and received 360 cashback in my account, which went to pay for communications.
As for cashback, I don’t know how it is now, but a month ago the topic worked.
Later, after the topic with discounts on Beeline came up, a person like Zak , who connects non-public tariffs for different operators, he connected me to the MTS “Smart for Our Own” tariff as a check that he was really does his job and doesn't cheat people. It was a tariff for 200 rubles per month with 10GB of Internet and unlimited social networks.
But these 10GB were not enough for me and I decided to go and transfer my MTS number back to Beeline, hoping that MTS would call me and offer to stay with them on more favorable terms.
And then the day came when I was offered the MTS “Personal” tariff with a 70% discount.
After writing an application to port the number, which cost me 150 rubles (they go to the account of the new operator), I was given the date of March 6 when the number would be transferred.
And literally a few hours later I receive an SMS from MTS saying that a manager will contact me about the details of the transfer.
It is important to remember that during this time you need to come up with a story about why you are porting the number and what conditions you will have. We come up with a plausible story, for this we go to the website of the operator to which we want to go and study the tariffs, prices, conditions. And we don’t just say, like schoolchildren, “give me a 70% discount,” “give me a discount, and I’ll leave.”
To make it easier to come up with a story, I will tell you mine, which will be most profitable.
On day X, a specialist from the MTS customer retention department, a girl with a sweet voice, calls us and asks why I want to change operator.
We say that my family actively uses the Beeline operator and decided to combine into one family tariff (for example, Close People 2 with a discount), and that expenses per person in this case will not exceed 200 rubles per month, and each family member will receive unlimited Internet and 1500 -2000 minutes of calls to other operators.
After this, the girl will offer you to discuss more favorable conditions and look at the MTS “Personal” tariff with a 70% discount. He will tell you its price, usually it is 150-185 rubles, but by reducing the number of minutes you can get a lower price tag.
Here we already say what suits us, or not, we ask you to add or remove minutes, SMS, thereby getting the most acceptable price for yourself. After you have agreed on the terms, the girl changes the tariff, and you receive an SMS notification of the change.
Also, after activating the discount, go to your MTS personal account and enable automatic payment by card, which will add another 10% to the 70% discount for a year, for a total discount of 80%.
This service is activated on the page with the promotion from MTS; to do this, follow the link and connect.
It is important to remember that you need to negotiate a permanent discount, otherwise some are offered a discount for a certain period, which is not very profitable.
- What to do with the SIM card that was issued at the MNP?
- Let's go and block it, or leave it and use it.
- What if they don't call me back?
- Usually, if you use a SIM card from one operator for a decent amount of time (more than a month), then they call you back anyway. But, you are given 8 days to port the number, if after 7 days you still haven’t received a call from the MTS retention department, we call or go to their office and cancel the transfer.
- Will the MTS “Personal” tariff and 70% discount be connected to me forever?
- In most cases, the connection is permanent, listen carefully to the specialist and clarify the details.
- Can I do this with other operators?
- Quite, earlier, I already wrote an article about receiving an official Beeline discount via chat.
If you are not satisfied with even connecting to a personal MTS tariff, then you can always connect a non-public tariff for a few minted coins, for example the same Smart For Yours, but with unlimited Internet, the price is 200 rubles per month. There are cheaper rates, you can find out about them in our chat.
“MTS Bonus” - we give bonus points
Note! The accumulated points must be spent during the current year. With the onset of the New Year, they automatically burn out.
It is for this reason that the operator has developed a unique opportunity - bonus points can be given to friends or family.
To do this, the user needs to visit the “Personal Account” on the operator’s official website and log in. Next, you need to enter the “MTS Bonus” section, where on the left there is a column called “Give points”. You need to go to this column, indicate the number of points and the number of the consumer to whom they will be gifted. After entering this data, the subscriber’s cell phone will receive an SMS notification in which a digital code will be written. It is needed to confirm the operation. The user to whom the points were gifted will also be notified of their receipt via SMS notification.
Attention! You cannot give more than 3,000 bonus points for one transaction. You can give a gift to only one subscriber during the day. Per month – no more than 10 users.
How to set up “Automatic payment by threshold”
I’ll tell you using the example of the “My MTS” application, through which I connected the option myself:
- Open the application and go to the “Invoices and Payment” menu.
- Select “Autopayments” - activate “Autopayment”.
- Choose a balance at which automatic replenishment of the account will be carried out (personally, I set it to 50 ₽).
- Indicate the payment amount by which the balance will be replenished (I put 500 ₽).
- “Link” the card with which you will top up your MTS account.
- All. A little joy is guaranteed at the time of monthly subscription fee collection from savings on communications throughout the whole year.
Detailed description from MTS
How to accumulate bonuses
Bonus accruals under the terms of the program are made for the use of communication services, consumption of mobile Internet traffic, home Internet and television. For every 5 rubles spent, receive 1 point. When shopping in the operator’s stores, points are also awarded - 1 point for every 3 rubles spent. In addition, you can accumulate points using the MTS Money card. Every purchase or payment made using this card is rewarded - 1 point for every 30 rubles spent. But this is not the limit - after accumulating more than 3,000 rubles spent on the card, the subscriber will be able to receive 1,000 additional points.
Attention! For each friend referred to the program, the consumer will receive an additional 50 points.
MTS also does not forget about the birthdays of its subscribers - on this day the user will receive additional bonus accruals. The length of participation in MTS Bonus is also important - the longer it is, the more accruals.
What do we have to do
In order for the operator to offer you a discount, you must either send an application to switch to another operator while maintaining the number, or simply notify the communication provider of such an intention. The latter can be done directly over the phone by calling the operator’s hotline.
In the case of MTS, subscribers need to call the support numbers: 0890 , 08460 or 0605 and contact a live operator. Next, you need to complain to the operator about the terms of the tariff and clarify the procedure for switching to another operator while maintaining the number. At the same time, most subscribers will not have to come up with anything, since almost everyone has at least minimal dissatisfaction with the quality or conditions of service.
At this stage, the operator’s employee can offer an individual discount on your tariff plan. Support staff are trained to try to retain subscribers, so you are more likely to receive a lucrative offer.
If the employee does not offer a discount, you can try calling support again. Another employee may be more accommodating.
