Tariff X MTS - detailed description, connection and disconnection

Tariff description

Tariff plan “X” is a collection of numerous unlimited options. Moreover, there are few classic minutes and SMS on it. The tariff is not intended for long conversations - except to exchange a few words with friends and family. It is designed for using the Internet almost constantly, without interrupting communication on social networks and instant messengers. It will also please fans of popular online toys. Let's talk about it in more detail.

Benefits of the tariff plan:

• Minimum subscription fee - monthly payment is only 500 rubles;
• Messengers and social networks work with any balance, including negative;
• It offers numerous promotions that allow you to connect additional services on more favorable terms.

Let's see what is included in the relatively new (appeared in 2017, but available for subscription in 2021) tariff “X” and what is unlimited:

• Basic communication services – 100 minutes and 200 SMS within the region, on-net unlimited after using up the main package of minutes;
• Basic Internet traffic – 7 GB for any needs;
• Stop traffic for social networks (with the exception of content loaded from other resources) - their list includes Twitter, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and Vkontakte;
• Unlimited for messengers - communicate by text, voice and via camera on WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat and Skype;
• Unlimited traffic for YouTube - millions of videos without restrictions or limits. Also included in this category is unlimited Twitch, a gaming video broadcast service;
• Unlimited music - the tariff includes traffic for Zvooq, MTS Music, Apple Music, Google Music and Yandex.Music;
• Unlimited for application stores – the list includes Google Play and App Store. This will allow you to download bulky applications without regard to the basic Internet package - games with good graphics most often have large volumes;
• Unlim for MTS Connect is an application that allows you to make calls in any direction via the Internet;
• Unlim for online games - the list includes World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks, World of Warships, War Thunder, Tanki X and Tanki Online, The Division and Rainbow Six: Siege, Skull and Bones (2018).

Thus, the standard Internet package is useful only for surfing, email and downloading files from other resources.

The cost of the tariff in the first month is 16.67 rubles/day, then the standard monthly subscription fee is included. How much does the tariff plan cost in other regions? Check the information on the official MTS website, indicating your place of residence. For example, in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, tariff “X” will cost only 370 rubles. The archived version “X 092017” costs the same.

Is it possible to distribute the Internet?

Distribution via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at the “X” tariff is carried out without restrictions. It is also possible to distribute the Internet via a USB cable, but this is not the best option for online games - the ping increases, which makes the response too long. It is best to distribute traffic via Wi-Fi by launching an access point on your smartphone.

Roaming in Russia

Internet tariffs when traveling around Russia do not change - you can move freely throughout the country using unlimited data and the basic package. As for the package of minutes, their geography depends on the current location. For example, upon arrival in the Krasnodar region, the package becomes local - it is spent on calls within Krasnodar and other settlements in the region. Calls to your native Moscow will be charged as intercity.

Tariffing in Crimea

MTS is the only operator who fully maintains tariffs in Crimea and Sevastopol. Here the phone is registered in the network of the local operator Win Mobile, which is a partner of MTS. Use the Internet as if nothing had happened. In order for calls to home to be used from the package, enable one of the above options. Since MTS does not have its own network on the peninsula, and local networks are overloaded with visiting subscribers, there may be difficulties with dialing and Internet speed. Reviews say that the problem worsens in the summer months, when tens of thousands of tourists visit the region.

Is Internet on tariff “X” really unlimited?

Tariff “X” includes the use of contracted applications, platforms and similar Internet resources without restrictions. For those for whom the proposed platforms are not enough (see the list above), an additional 7 GB of Internet volumes are provided, which are consumed when it is turned on and the traffic is actively used.

If you are satisfied with 7 GB mobile Internet, the option can be disabled using the USSD code. You can reactivate it at any time.

In addition, there is a “+Internet” package from MTS, which increases the volume of mobile Internet. It costs:

• 300 RUR for 3 GB;
• 400 RUR for 5 GB;
• 500 RUR for 10 GB.

When you do not need automatic traffic renewal, you can use the “Turbo button” function. Its cost starts from 30 rubles. If there are no tariff plans with activated mobile data consumption, the mobile fee. Internet depends on the price of the “Turbo button” and 1 MB of volume.

Are the remaining packages saved?

X tariff plan , mobile traffic and minutes of calls that are not used in a month do not transfer to another payment period. After using up the 7 GB Internet package, the user will continue to have unpaid, unlimited access to many gaming, music and entertainment services.

If necessary, you can connect an additional package of 200 minutes. It connects with the command *100*1# . 150 for it every month .

Why “Hype” was renamed into the “IKS” or “X” tariff

At the end of July 2021, MTS renamed the well-known youth tariff “Hype” to “X”. All associated options and services have also been renamed. Let us briefly explain why this renaming occurred.

When we found out the news on the MTS website about the change in the name of the tariff plan, we were very surprised. A popular tariff with an interesting name suddenly became some kind of incomprehensible “X”. About a year ago I submitted an application to Rospatent to register the name “Hype” as a trademark. This application was approved. Other companies have not registered this trademark. Therefore, today the true owner of the name “Hype” is.

The legal department of MTS did not foresee this situation. But lawyers filed a claim against the MTS operator for unlawful use of someone else's trademark. According to some sources, the amount claimed amounts to several hundred million rubles. tried to force MTS to remove the “HYIP” names from tariff plans, options and services. Therefore, the name changed.

"X"

The exception is traffic

• built from third-party resources;
• push notifications and updates;
• while other programs are running in the background;
• when downloading files from the Windows Store;
• when using services through any browser that uses traffic compression;
• when accessing the network via a WAP access point;
• when using private browsing mode;
• member of the “Unified Internet” group.

Review of tariff plans "MTS" Kuban

Now let’s go through each tariff and tell you about it in more detail.

Tariff

The tariff plan with the loud name “Tariffishche” immediately promises the subscriber unlimited Internet at a competitive price. Is this really so, let's see. There are four different “Tariff” options available, differing in the number of available minutes of conversation and SMS, the cost per minute of conversation after the limit is exhausted and, of course, the size of the monthly subscription fee.

International calls are always paid separately: 35 rub/min (CIS), 49 rub/min (Europe), 70 rub/min (rest). The cost of SMS upon exhaustion of the limit to any numbers in the region is 2 rubles/piece, to other regions – 2.8 rubles/piece.

The main pitfall of this tariff plan is the Internet, which can only be called unlimited. The fact is that Tariffishche has a limitation - as soon as the subscriber exhausts 30 GB of traffic in the Krasnodar Territory or 15 GB of traffic outside it, the Internet speed will be reduced. Formally, you will, of course, still have the Internet, but using it at a speed of 128 kb/s is still a pleasure. Also, the speed limit comes into effect when you try to download something through torrent trackers or replace the SIM card in the modem.

The second problem with Tariffish is the inability to transfer saved traffic to the next month. In other words, if you spent only 25 GB in the first month, then the remaining 5 GB at the beginning of the second month will simply burn out. The same applies to packages of call minutes with SMS.

MTS X

The mysterious tariff X is nothing more than a renamed “Hype” tariff plan with exactly the same conditions. It is designed for active users of social networks, among which you can find: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, YouTube, Yandex.Music, Zvooq, Twitch - traffic for the use of which is not taken into account In addition In addition, the option provides mobile television and an additional 7 GB of traffic, which you can spend at your discretion; if you need more, each new 500 MB will cost 95 rubles.

Calls and SMS to numbers within the network are free, and for numbers of other operators there is a package that gives 100 minutes of calls and 200 SMS. X will cost 370 rubles monthly.

Smart

The Smart tariff is a whole line of different offers. There are three in total for residents of Krasnodar and the region:

There is also the “My Smart” option, which allows you to choose the amount of Internet traffic, talk minutes and SMS yourself, but it doesn’t make much sense to consider it separately.

The advantage of the entire Smart line is that unspent packages of Internet traffic, minutes and messages do not expire at the end of the month, but are transferred to the next one. True, what you save won’t be carried over a second time, and you’ll have to spend it all one way or another. However, considering that the saved packages are used first, this is not such a problem.

ULTRA

ULTRA is a tariff with an impressive subscription fee and equally impressive packages of minutes. It will be most beneficial for businessmen who regularly call people from other cities. The tariff plan is valid throughout the country without additional payments.

If the provided Internet package does not seem enough, then it is possible to connect per gigabyte for 150 rubles. The remaining traffic, minutes and SMS are also carried over to the next month, but nothing more.
