Outside the homeland, consumers will have to pay 6 rubles for each message (the average price for most countries in Europe and Asia). Compared to other companies, these are quite attractive conditions. For example, MTS clients are forced to pay 9.9 rubles. for the message. Megaphone – 7 rub. a piece. Pricing policy is presented in accordance with the Moscow region.

In addition, MMS can be sent to foreign countries, but not all cellular networks abroad support this service. There are also additional volume restrictions. For example, some networks abroad limit the size of such a message to 300 kilobytes. However, most cellular networks allow you to send a message up to 500 kilobytes in size. If you try to send a larger amount of data, the service may not work.
