MTS corporate tariffs
The ability to quickly transmit information at any distance around the clock is often an important condition for business development. Many companies have already appreciated all the advantages of corporate communications from MTS: quality of service, ease of cost control, the ability to connect a number of optimizing options. The operator provides its business clients with a wide range of offers, including both mobile communications and data services, to satisfy a wide variety of needs.
Method for calculating minutes and megabytes of mobile Internet
Billing according to the “Universal” tariff came into effect on February 25, 2016. It is calculated for every minute.
Please note that all outgoing calls lasting more than 3 seconds are rounded up.
In this case, the first three seconds are not charged. In other words, if you want and have the opportunity to provide all the necessary information in the first 3 seconds, you can save a lot.
The cost of forwarding directly depends on the direction of the call. Let's look at this with an example. Subscriber A of MTS makes a call to subscriber B of MTS within the home region. In this case, redirection is made to the number of another subscriber outside the home region. The call price for subscriber A will remain the same, but for subscriber B the cost will be calculated based on his tariff plan.
When calculating the cost of mobile Internet, the following figures are accepted:
- 1 KB = 1024 Bt;
- MB = 1024 KB.
Non-chargeable size of transmitted data (received):
- Internet traffic – 0 KB;
- WAP traffic - 0 KB.
The total volume of both transmitted and received data is rounded upward with an accuracy of up to 200 KB.
Connecting and disconnecting
New subscribers can join the tariff by purchasing the appropriate starter package. If an existing client wishes to switch to the specified terms of service, then he can:
- Visit your Personal Account, which you must first register on the website. In the “tariffs” section, find “Universal” and click the “go” button opposite it.
- Make a call to number 0890. For all MTS subscribers, calls within the country are free. The autoinformer will tell you which combinations of numbers to press to go.
- Contact the service office. There the consultant will do everything for you. With this method, you must have a passport to confirm your identity.
You can disconnect by choosing a different tariff on the MTS website.
“Universal” is the best solution for those who communicate a lot within the connection region and do not use other features. Otherwise, it cannot be called profitable.
Temporary restrictions on the use of this tariff
When using the “Universal” tariff from MTS, it is possible to cancel it unilaterally. This refusal is possible when the following conditions occur:
- if after 61 days the balance has not become positive (+1 kop.) within 183 days;
- the subscriber has not used paid services for 183 days.
If a subscriber does not use services provided on a paid basis within 150 days, his number is automatically transferred to the “Basic” tariff plan.
Tariffication
MTS is actively introducing new technologies, abandoning technically outdated ADSL and providing home Internet via GPON. This allows you to increase the bandwidth of your home network up to 1 GB. Of course, the Comfort tariff cannot boast of such speed indicators, but the terms of the offer look very good.
So, for 450-550 rubles per month, the user receives the following services:
- free installation of a fiber optic line, setting up the connection and operation of additional equipment;
- setting up a wireless connection if the subscriber orders a router;
- unlimited Internet access at a speed of 50 Mbit/sec, at night: 100 Mbit/sec;
- ability to download movies in HD resolution.
It should be clarified that the Wi-Fi router is not included in the basic package tariff. Equipment is supplied only at the request of the subscriber and is paid for separately. The rental price is 60 rubles per month, the customer can buy the router outright by paying 1,300.
Please note that only for this home Internet package there is a “Connect for 1 ruble” promotion in some regions. If, when concluding a contract, the user pays for 2 months at once, the first one costs 1 ruble.
Unlimited options
If you don’t want to overpay for completely unlimited Internet, you can add unlimited traffic to your tariff only for certain groups of applications. In total, 3 unlimited options are offered within the “Netariff”:
- Social networks: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter do not consume the Internet package. In almost all regions, the option costs 60 rubles. per month.
- Communication: messengers WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, Discord, Skype and ICQ can be used unlimitedly. In Moscow, this service is completely free, but in many other regions it costs 30 rubles. per month.
- Entertainment: no gigabytes are wasted when using video hosting sites YouTube, Twitch and TikTok. The cost of the service is 100 rubles. in 30 days.
All unlimited options work only in official applications or browser versions of websites. If a VPN is used on the device, the traffic will start to be consumed again. Unlimited applies to text messages, audio and video calls, viewing images and videos in the service itself. Transitions to other services are charged according to the standard “Netariff” conditions. You can connect one or several unlimited options at the same time.
Limitations and Disadvantages
“Netariff” has several important limitations and disadvantages that can greatly affect the profitability and ease of use of this tariff:
- Unlimited Internet is fully operational only in your home region. When traveling around the country, you can use no more than 30 GB, after which the connection speed will be reduced to 64 Kbps.
- As part of the Netariff, MTS does not offer unlimited calls with its other subscribers. Even if you activate a paid option, calls to MTS phones will consume a package of minutes, which is in many ways inconvenient.
- You can distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi, but not more than 10 GB, regardless of the package size. Distribution of traffic over the limit is paid, and you will have to pay 80 rubles for it. per day;
- You can use torrents and file hosting services, but not for free. You can download no more than 5 GB per day, and you will have to pay 75 rubles for it. The offer, to put it mildly, is not the most profitable.
- Packages cannot be transferred to the next billing period. Anything not spent within a month will be burned. However, thanks to the flexible constructor, such situations can be avoided - just reduce the package next month so as not to pay for excess.
Special conditions also apply to change the volume of packages. All changes take effect at the beginning of the new billing period, so it is not possible to refund money for excess packages in the current month.
Services
In addition to unlimited and subscriptions, MTS offers to add several other additional options to the tariff:
- “Unlimited calls to MTS Russia
. The service makes it possible to make free calls to other subscribers of the operator throughout the country after the package of minutes within the tariff ends. Cost - 100 rubles. per month. - “Blocking spam calls.”
The option automatically blocks all calls from suspicious numbers listed in the MTS database as spam and scammers. Cost - 30 rubles. per month.
A city number can also be considered an additional service of the designer. In Moscow and the Moscow region, its use will cost 304.8 rubles. per month.
