How much does SMS cost in MTS roaming abroad?
Today, MTS can offer many additional options and tariffs for economical communication abroad. Such tariff plans allow subscribers to save a lot on voice communications while roaming. But if international calls are becoming increasingly clear, what should users who are used to communicating via text messages do? And what is the cost of SMS in roaming on MTS?
MTS SMS roaming compares favorably with the offers of other television systems. This mobile operator has always stood out for its high-quality communications and large coverage area.
By the way, text messaging is much more convenient to use not only when roaming MTS in Russia, but also abroad than, for example, the same voice communication. Many users note that even with good coverage, calls from abroad are sometimes interrupted. When using SMS for communication, this problem does not arise. That is why, when leaving the country, subscribers are increasingly connecting to the MTS SMS roaming service.
- By special request. To do this, dial the combination * 111 * 124 # on your cellular device and press the “Call” key. After this, an SMS will be sent to your mobile phone informing you that the activation was successful.
- By sending a message. Send an SMS with the following content “124” to number 111. There is no need to write quotation marks in the body of the letter. Immediately after sending the message, a notification about the activation of the service will be sent to your phone.
- TV system website. You can enable the option through your personal account. To do this, log in to your page, go to the “Services” section, and, having selected the desired product from the list, press the “Connect” button.
Activation of the service is not free. To connect the option you will need to pay 135 rubles. The money will be debited from the subscriber's account immediately after the service is activated. To change the tariff to home tariff, you will need to disable the option when you arrive home.
To do this, you can use your Personal Account or send an empty message to 8111. If you are not sure that you have deactivated the function, you can always ask for help at any of the numbers provided.
- 0890 (for mobile MTS in the Russian Federation);
- 8-800-25-008-90 (for stationary devices and subscribers of other cellular networks);
- +7-495-76-601-66 (in international roaming).
Prices for mobile communications abroad cannot be called affordable. For example, if a subscriber sends a message to Russia from Turkey, India or Yemen, 19 rubles will be immediately debited from his account. However, all this is exactly several times cheaper than using voice communication for communication.
In neighboring countries (CIS), SMS roaming will be cheaper. For example, a message from Belarus or Ukraine will cost an MTS client only 3 rubles.
SMS roaming about MTS is also convenient because it covers countries all over the world. Among other things, the client can send messages to any cellular directions.
However, if you want to save as much as possible, we suggest that you subscribe to one of the package SMS offers of the television system (see description below).
Subscribers are also interested in the question, how much do incoming SMS cost in MTS roaming? The TV system does not charge any incoming SMS in international roaming. That is, the subscriber pays only for outgoing messages. It is better to check the prices for outgoing SMS for various directions on the official website of the operator, as they are constantly changing.
As soon as the subscriber leaves the borders of his country, a new tariffication begins to apply for roaming abroad. To minimize the cost of SMS while roaming to other countries, the mobile operator offers to add one of the package offers to your tariff. After connecting, all incoming messages will become free, and the fee for outgoing messages will be reduced significantly.

Calls over the limit - 3 kopecks/sec (per-second billing), SMS - 25 kopecks/piece, mobile Internet - 8 kopecks/MB. The tariff caused a lot of noise and instantly gained popularity among Russians.

The tariff also includes two unlimited limits - within the network for calls and SMS. Monthly payment – 199 rubles.
Yota was not included in our review - the operator included a subscription fee for a package of 0 minutes and 0 GB, which automatically deprived it of its profitable status.
