• using a specialized USSD command;
• in any mobile phone store of the telecommunications company MTS.

Availability of 2G is a prerequisite for using the device.

This technology is no longer the most innovative. Regardless of this, she is in great demand among young parents. Therefore, the mobile operator provides for this option to be included in the package of services provided in most tariff plans.

How to disable the tariff

You can disable the tariff yourself in several ways:

• at the nearest office of the telecommunications company MTS;
• after waiting for automatic disconnection from the services of the cellular operator.

The first method will require a little preparation from the user. The client must come to any cellular communication office with an agreement on the provision of mobile services by MTS and a passport. The subscriber must be an individual specified in the contract of the cellular operator.

Having arrived at the MTS office, the user must indicate his desire to terminate relations with the company. To do this, you will need to write an application according to the sample that will be issued by a representative of the mobile operator. After accepting all the documents, the contract for the provision of communication services will be terminated, and along with it all SIM cards will be turned off.

If the user is not the owner of the tariff plan or simply does not want to use the method described above, then the subscriber can wait until the tariff is automatically turned off. To do this, you need to have a negative personal account balance and not use communication services for 6 months. After this period expires, the number associated with the SIM card will return to the telecommunications company, and the tariff plan will no longer be valid.

The method that uses a six-month waiting period will not work if the number has an annual subscription fee.
