Bottom line. Pros and cons of the “My Smart” tariff, customer reviews
A flexible tariff designer that easily adapts to any user needs is a great idea, but all this is not about the “My Smart” tariff from MTS. In any case, the Mobile TeleSystems tariff is still very far from flexible and customizable Iota.
In fact, the operator simply created the illusion that the user was controlling something there. In fact, subscribers can only choose one of nine not very well-balanced sets of services created in the interests of MTS, not users. Below we explain why.
What’s wrong with the “My Smart” tariff from MTS:
- You cannot refuse the SMS package or select a minimum of messages and a maximum of minutes at the same time. Despite the fact that for most users SMS is no longer necessary and relevant, MTS persistently includes them in every tariff plan. It turns out that part of the money is spent on a service that is not at all in demand.
- You cannot set the tariff at your discretion immediately upon connection. For the first month you will have to use the starter package, even if the included services are not enough for you or, on the contrary, too much.
- Package balances are not saved and are not transferred to the next month. Tele2 and Megafon do not save minutes, but unused traffic remains with subscribers.
- Packages of minutes and SMS are valid only in the home region.
- On-net calls consume free minutes.
- High cost of minutes and messages over the limit, expensive additional Internet packages.
- Expensive compared to competitors. For the same Yota, a tariff plan with 600 minutes and 20 gigabytes will cost a little over 350 rubles; for unlimited messengers you will have to pay a little extra. The plan from Tele2 “Everywhere Online” with unlimited traffic to social networks, 40 GB of Internet and 500 minutes costs 450 rubles per month.
- Poor range of services compared to competitors. Essentially, you pay only for the essentials: Internet, voice and text communications. No "buns" on top. Compare: Tariff from Megafon for 600 rubles “No overpayments. “Everything” includes 600 minutes to all networks in the country, 30 gigabytes of traffic, unlimited use of social networks and instant messengers, which is maintained with a negative balance; provides for the transfer of remaining traffic to the next period, provides protection against subscriptions and free antivirus, as well as free traffic to Megafon TV.
Compared to these disadvantages, the advantages of the “My Smart” TP pale, but still, let’s talk about them.
What's good:
- You can distribute the Internet for free via Wi-Fi.
- Intranet unlimited is valid throughout Russia, and not just in the region where the subscriber is located.
- The tariff works in Crimea under the same conditions as elsewhere. You just need to connect.
Based on customer reviews from the Internet, it follows that many choose MTS because of the high quality of communication services. Without considering other providers as service providers, they prefer the “My Smart” tariff as the most inexpensive Mobile TeleSystems offer available.
Users are satisfied with this tariff plan, even despite some inconveniences in the form of an unnecessary SMS package or the lack of saving traffic balances.

Disadvantages of the tariff
The Smart+ tariff offers good opportunities for its users, but, as with all tariff offers, there are also disadvantages. The maximum number of users will unanimously declare that the main drawback is the size of the subscription fee. However, if you establish a connection with the modern needs of people, then paying for the tariff is often justified. The size of the packages, consisting of unlimited calls to MTS within the Russian Federation, 1100 minutes for making calls to other networks and 1100 SMS, pays for itself for active users. Because of this, in this review we will not classify the size of the subscription fee as a disadvantage.
The tariff has other weaknesses that are unknown to most subscribers. Have you ever had to download a detailed description of the tariff from the official MTS website? Many people don’t bother with this, although it’s still worth doing. In such a file you can discover something new for yourself.
Attention: we present a list of all current MTS tariffs without a subscription fee.
But even a detailed description of the tariff will not tell you about all the features. We have made an effort to find more information about the disadvantages of the Smart + tariff. Studying reviews and practical testing of the tariff plan helped us understand the weak points of the tariff, which we will tell you about in this review.
Flaws:
- It is impossible to use a SIM card with the Smart + tariff plan to connect a modem or router to the Internet. Internet surfing speed will be extremely low if you install a SIM card in such a device. This will not allow you to simply open any website. This drawback is present in all tariffs of the Smart line. We cannot say that this is critical, since a small package of Internet traffic will not allow you to enjoy the Internet on your computer for a long time.
- The package of calls provided by the tariff plan to subscribers of other operators (1100 minutes) can be used when making calls also to MTS subscribers if they are located in other regions.
- The trick of any cellular operator is to pump out the maximum amount of money from subscribers. Counting that the client will be inattentive, MTS can activate an additional paid service. What exactly will be connected is a question, but rest assured that it will definitely be done. In order to get rid of intrusive services, you can use your personal account or the My MTS application. This must be done immediately after connecting to a new tariff plan, so you can find out which service was connected and turn it off as there is no need for unnecessary expenses.
- Connecting a tariff plan is a paid service. Before the expiration of the first month of using the tariff, in addition to the subscription fee, the connection fee will be charged.
These are some of the weak points of the tariff that we have studied. Operators are always inventive and come up with new traps and pitfalls that we will encounter if we do not monitor tariff changes. Remember that your feedback can also help a lot. If you have something to tell about the Smart + tariff plan, then tell us, as well as other readers, about your experience.
