Advantages and disadvantages
Among the main advantages, most users identified:
- Free access to the World Wide Web.
- Huge package of minutes and messages.

- The conditions apply throughout the Russian Federation.
- Unlimited calls with MTS numbers.
- Amount of subscription payment. Many operators offer top-end solutions at higher prices.
Among the shortcomings, subscribers noted the conditions for using the package of messages and MMS. Basically, the presented tariff is preferred by businessmen, and the TP parameters imply sending SMS only in the home region. That is, if you go to another region, the package will no longer be used and the money for sending the message will be debited from your account.
Are unused minutes saved on Smart Top?
One of the most important advantages of the smart Top tariff in 2021, which distinguishes it favorably from similar tariff plans of other operators, is the preservation and transfer to the next month of minutes that were not used by the subscriber. The same applies to unused Internet traffic and packages of SMS and mms messages.
In this case, first of all, the remaining Internet traffic is consumed. And the remaining minutes and SMS messages are added to the new packages provided.
Unused minutes, SMS packages and gigabytes of Internet traffic are not transferred if the subscriber decides to change the tariff plan.
