Internet tariffs
All existing tariff plans with a subscription fee imply the presence of prepaid volumes of traffic, and some of them offer complete unlimited access to the World Wide Web. In addition, in the list of MTS services you can find separate categories of tariff solutions:
- “For a laptop” this is full-fledged unlimited Internet at speeds of up to 4 Mbit/second at an attractive price of 750 rubles. per month of use.
- A “smart device” is a SIM card of the appropriate format and provides full functionality of your device. The subscription fee is paid once a year and amounts to 790 rubles.
How to activate the MTS “Smart” tariff
Unfortunately, not a single operator provides the opportunity to create a tariff yourself, setting not only the volume of minutes, SMS and Internet, but also the size of the subscription fee.
If such an opportunity existed, mobile operators would simply go bankrupt. Therefore, we have to choose from what is currently available on the communications market. The MTS “Smart” tariff is a worthy offer and will be of interest to many subscribers. If you have already familiarized yourself with the terms of the tariff plan, you can safely proceed to connecting it. There are several ways to switch to the Smart tariff. There is no connection fee, however, if you have already changed your tariff this month, then an additional fee cannot be avoided. Methods for connecting to the MTS “Smart” tariff:
- USSD command - *111*1024#;
- Personal account or “My MTS” application;
- Purchase a starter kit at any MTS store.
Immediately upon activation of the tariff, the monthly subscription fee will be charged. If less than a month has passed since the last tariff change, then in addition to the monthly fee, another 150 rubles will be charged for connection. To disable the MTS “Smart” tariff, simply connect any other tariff plan. It is impossible to disable the tariff in any other way; in any case, you need to find an alternative.
Packages without internet
Availability of stable access to the World Wide Web is one of the main requests of modern telecommunications operator subscribers, which was taken into account when developing the TP line. Almost all current MTS tariffs in St. Petersburg in 2021 include traffic or full unlimited. You can use the “without Internet” option only by connecting to one of the TPs without a subscription fee. At the same time, employees provided the opportunity to activate one of the profitable Internet packages, minutes or messages, which significantly expands the basic possibilities of use.
Advantages and disadvantages
To finally decide whether it is worth switching to the described tariff system, it is worth considering the main advantages and disadvantages of the proposal. The advantages include:
- low subscription fee;
- the presence of free offers and discounts;
- the ability to use communications, even if there is no subscription fee on the SIM card (in such a situation, the subscription fee becomes daily and amounts to 17.5 rubles).
Disadvantages include:
- small packages;
- paid calls to numbers of third-party operators outside the home region.
Packages for tablet
“For tablet” is an excellent option for a separate category of devices. For 400 rubles. per month you get 10 GB of Internet for any purpose and the opportunity to choose full unlimited data in one of the directions:
- unlimited on YouTube if you watch videos through the official application;
- MTS TV - unlimited access to viewing television channels and unique content;
- work with social networks VK, Facebook and Odnoklassniki;
- messengers Skype, WhatsAPP, Viber (correspondence, voice and video calls).
Internet on the “For Tablet” tariff of MTS
The package includes 10 GB of traffic for a month + one of the unlimited destinations of the subscriber’s choice : for watching videos on YouTube, television from MTS, communicating on popular social networks or video calls in instant messengers.
When the main Internet package ends, access to the Internet is maintained through additional traffic packages of 500 MB for 95 rubles. The operator activates them automatically if there is money in the account. If not, then access to the Network will be suspended. You can turn off auto-renewal of the Internet through your Personal Account. If necessary, activate the “Turbo button” - it’s much more profitable.
Unlimited services
When switching and connecting to the “For Tablet” tariff plan, subscribers choose one of the unlimited options:
- Unlimited traffic to watch YouTube content.
- Unlimited MTS TV: news and entertainment channels, sports programs, TV series and talk shows.
- Endless social networks: Odnoklassniki, VKontakte and Facebook.
- Unlimited video calls via Skype, Viber, WhatApp.
Access to selected unlimited services is maintained as long as there is traffic in the main or additional Internet package and the account balance is positive.

- software update;
- downloading applications;
- viewing embedded content from other resources;
- using the Opera browser or any other browser with data compression function;
