How to go to MTS with your number
The choice of operator is influenced by many reasons, some remain faithful to their first SIM card, others change them almost every month, as soon as a lucrative offer appears on the market. Since 2013, a subscriber of any cellular network can transfer from another operator while maintaining the phone number.
Restrictions:
- More than 60 days have passed since the last number porting.
- The transfer is made within one region (subject of the Russian Federation).
Through your MTS personal account
MTS subscribers can apply for number porting online in their personal account.
In the “Actions with SIM card” section of your personal account, fill out the Transfer Application.
Fill out the contact information fields for communication.
In the next step, you need to specify the owner's information.
Enter the correct details of the identity document for which the number was issued.
Indicate which way you prefer to get a new SIM card - yourself at an MTS store or by courier service.
We carefully check the information, if we find an error, we return to the previous screens and correct it; all data is saved, even if we return to the first screen.
Most likely, you have already received an SMS notification about the status of your order. All that remains is to take advantage of the bonuses.
In the MTS salon
Subscribers of other operators, in order to change their number to MTS, will need to personally contact an MTS salon to arrange the service. After completing the documents, it will take several days to verify the data. You can choose a service plan after the transfer. Please include this information in your application so you don’t have to pay for a tariff change later!
The cost of the service is 100 rubles.
Saving contacts
When your phone's SIM card changes, it's very easy to notify your contacts. There is also an interesting feature that allows you to track calls to a previous number. The client also has the opportunity to selectively notify people about changing their mobile phone. It is worth noting that this function can be used by everyone, even those clients who have changed only 1 digit.
The free option, called “My New Number,” has a number of customizable options. In order for the client to have access to this service, you need to remember that the previous mobile phone must work. For others, the service is not available if, for example, the number has been changed and the old card has been saved.
Network subscribers have a choice when changing SIM cards. You can rely on managers or use individual selection. It would be optimal to change a few digits in the number.

Change of number
If you need to change your MTS phone number, there are two options:
- Buy a new SIM card. In this case, contacts and accumulated bonuses may be lost; it may turn out that a convenient tariff is no longer available for connection, and it costs more.
- Change the data of the SIM card you are using. Unfortunately, it is impossible to change your MTS number online yourself in your personal account. This can be done at the sales office or by calling the Customer Service Contact Center.
When applying to change your MTS phone number, you will need to provide the operator with your passport details or code word!
Call the MTS operator
The call can be made from a mobile and landline number 8-800-250-0890.
After checking the information about the owner, the contact center employee will provide a new combination that will be assigned to the SIM card. The replacement procedure will take 24 hours.
If after rebooting you find that the number remains the same, you will need to contact technical support again.
Go to the service office
In any operator store, you can change your MTS phone number, including changing from federal to city and vice versa (the tariff may not be retained).
Restrictions:
If the replacement is not the first time, it is necessary that at least 7 days have passed since the previous change.
How much does the number replacement service cost?
The cost of the service depends on the level of requirements for the new combination of numbers.
- Regular replacement costs 70 rubles.
- Change with room selection - 200 rubles.
- Beautiful combinations, depending on the category - from 1,500 to 1,000,000 rubles.
Price
Changing a number is not a free procedure, and for its implementation a certain amount will be withdrawn from the account. With a regular replacement, it costs 75 rubles, but for that kind of money you can buy a regular, “crooked” number, which is not always easy to remember.
So if you want to change your number for aesthetic reasons, you should also take into account the financial side of such an action.
If you want to independently choose not from two or three offered by the operator, but to compile numbers that have some meaning for you (year of birth or other date, significant figure), then a replacement will cost much more - 750 rubles.
Although this service bears the proud name “Premium”, it still does not guarantee that you will receive particularly “tasty” combinations of numbers. In this case, you get an option from the “silver” series. For the most beautiful (symmetrical, meaningful, telling) “golden” numbers, the price in the MTS system starts from 500 rubles.
And if we consider the most expensive combinations of numbers, which themselves will tell the subscriber that he is talking to a respectable person, then the price for them starts from hundreds of thousands. So you will have to make a choice. And whether it is worth purchasing expensive numbers, everyone decides for themselves.
The procedure for purchasing “beautiful” numbers is described in detail on the operator’s website, so you can always make your own choice. Or entrust the task of composing a combination of numbers to an MTS office employee.
To subsequently return the old option, please contact the MTS office staff with a request. But it should be borne in mind that after some time it will be impossible to return it. All available rooms are put up for sale. So you should keep this in mind when changing.
How to re-register a SIM card in your name without the owner
If it is impossible to ensure the presence of the new and old owner of the number, re-registration can still be done. You will need to fill out an application and an agreement, go through the procedure of verifying the fact of using the phone (amount on the account, date of last replenishment, etc.). The process will take longer than registration with the participation of the previous owner - if within a month there are no objections to the changes from him, after this period the number will be re-registered.
Note! Most services will need to be activated again, bonuses and cashback will need to be accumulated “from scratch.”
Almost any changes are available to MTS subscribers. But within one subject of the Russian Federation. Perhaps the technical and legal issues will be resolved, and over time such an opportunity will appear. If there is a need for a service, then operators are interested in providing it.
Methods for changing contacts
Let's find out how to change the MTS phone number and whether it is possible to change the phone number without changing the MTS SIM card. The easiest way to correct data on MTS is to simply purchase a new card. Some companies offer to buy it online. But before you transfer money to such companies, you need to ask how much the service will cost.
Attention
Any use of intermediaries to change mobile data is a certain risk.
When choosing intermediaries to change your mobile phone, you need to inquire about their reputation. It is advisable to find reviews from people who have previously applied for similar services.
If the MTS number is replaced without saving the card, then the old tariff plan becomes irrelevant. But the client can choose the plan that is most beneficial for him.
It is unlikely that you will be able to return your old SIM card. There is a high risk of resale. Therefore, changing a company providing mobile communication services must be approached responsibly and thoughtfully.
Personal Area
Readers are interested in how to change their MTS number in their personal account. The client will have to pay the same amounts - 70 rubles for a regular replacement and 750 rubles for premium access.
Call to service
Changing your phone contact by calling the help desk is easy. This can be done using a mobile phone or landline. The sequence of subscriber actions is as follows.
On a mobile phone, dial 0890, on a landline - 88002500890. At the beginning of a call from the operator, dial the number 0. The device is switched to tone mode. Next, you should wait for the employee’s response. He should be informed of his desire to change his MTS contact. To carry out the replacement operation, the operator must provide the subscriber’s passport data, last name, first name, patronymic. After the operator receives all the necessary data, he will indicate a new combination of numbers
It is important to know that permanent change will take place only after 24 hours. After the specified time, you need to restart your phone or smartphone. After the reboot, you need to check whether the MTS contact details have changed. If the replacement does not take place, it means there was a technical failure
To do this, you need to contact technical support again.
At the operator's office
In addition to calling the office, you are allowed to change your MTS number by visiting an MTS office in person. This service will be provided by employees of any office of the company. When visiting, you must show your passport. The SIM card must certainly be issued to the person who wants to change the data. If this condition is not met, replacing the contact at the company office will be impossible.
- For your information
- The “My new number” option will help you notify all your friends and colleagues about the change in contact information.
