Tariff “First MTS” - description, connection and disconnection of the “First” tariff from MTS

A few years ago, mobile communications were much more expensive than they are now. There were virtually no competitive subscription rates, and none of them offered unlimited calls.

Despite the fact that now it is much easier to choose an inexpensive tariff plan, we will look at the features of the rather old First MTS tariff. It was intended for those operator customers who like to talk for a long time. Let's consider why it is suitable for sociable people.

Unlimited or corporate rates

Looking through the websites of mobile operators, everyone has at least once wondered who unlimited and corporate tariffs were invented for. The corporate tariff is created for large companies, business people and entrepreneurs. For those who work with their phone around the clock and practically never let it out of their hands. For example, offices, enterprises, factories or organizations.

The unlimited plan has features suitable for legal entities. Such as bill details, call waiting, forwarding, but it was created for one person.

That is, we can sum it up: corporate tariffs are created for communication within the company at competitive prices, which is why the inflated cost comes, and an unlimited tariff plan is a benefit only for yourself.

Who is the tariff suitable for?

The tariff is intended strictly for a specific group of users - motorists who decide to install a multimedia device “MTS | Yandex Auto". It should be noted that this device can only be installed on certain brands of cars. The list includes popular brands, mainly budget ones. For example:

• LADA Vesta since 2015
• LADA X-Ray since 2015
• KIA Rio from 2021.

A complete list of cars with which this multimedia system is compatible can be found on the operator’s website.

Tariff plan “Especially for you”

There are a lot of tariff plans, but is each tariff suitable for you? First, you should carefully read what the service package includes.

In the modern world it is impossible to imagine a person without a cell phone. The need to communicate from anywhere in the world has become as necessary as eating food. MTS takes care not only of individuals, but also of individual entrepreneurs and large organizations. Forgetting about constantly checking your balance is important for big people, which is why the company has created the most profitable tariff plan “Especially for you”.

Detailed description

This is a specially designed offer intended only for use with MTS | Yandex Auto", the SIM card is installed only in the modem. When installed in a smartphone or other device, access to the Internet will be blocked. The tariff does not provide for receiving calls and SMS; outgoing calls are also impossible.

What is “MTS | Yandex Auto"? This is a multimedia computer with a built-in navigator and pre-installed Yandex services. The device is installed in place of the standard car radio. The only difference from Yandex Auto is that the device can only work with an MTS SIM card. In addition, the user has access to some services from the operator without installing additional equipment.

The cost of the device is from 23,000 rubles, there is the possibility of purchasing in installments for 10 months with a monthly payment of 2,300 rubles. These conditions are offered when purchasing equipment in the official MTS online store. Installation in a specialized service is free with a certificate issued at the time of purchase. If the installation is carried out in a specialized service center, then the installation of the equipment does not affect the terms of the car’s warranty service.

The system can be installed on a specific list of car brands. The list can be found on the operator’s website. MTS promises to expand the list of brands that will be compatible with the system over time.

By installing a multimedia device, the user receives:

• MTS and Yandex services that will be useful on the road;
• voice control;
• Internet MTS.

Essentially, this is just a ready-made solution that eliminates the need to search for and install the necessary applications yourself.

Subscription fee

New users do not pay fees during the first year, which cannot but please motorists. But starting from the first month of the second year, the monthly fee will be 500 rubles per month. This cost is set for the Moscow region. In other areas, the tariff differs, usually downward. For example, residents of the Leningrad region will pay 400 rubles per month.

How is the subscription fee charged?

The fee is debited in advance, starting from the first day of the 13th month of use. During the first 12 months no money is charged, all services can be used absolutely free.

Calls and messages

Calls and messages cannot be made on this tariff. The card is blocked for both incoming and outgoing calls and SMS.

Internet

The main purpose of the tariff is access to the network. The tariff includes Yandex and MTS services. Unlimited access to such popular Yandex services as:

• Navigator - instantly builds the optimal route to the end point. When compiling, it takes into account the presence of traffic jams and the road situation (for example, road repairs in a certain area). Warns about places where fixed CCTV cameras are installed.
• Weather allows you to monitor changes in weather conditions in marked places (for example, at your dacha). Warns of changing climatic conditions, which allows you to be prepared for any situation.
• The voice assistant is an indispensable assistant for the motorist. The function allows you to manage services without taking your hands off the steering wheel. You can ask for directions to the nearest gas station, play certain music, or find the necessary information on the Internet.
• Music allows you to listen to music without restrictions
• The browser is fast and secure, speeds up loading at low Internet speeds.

Yandex software updates. Auto" is available with restrictions.

Available services from the operator “My MTS”, “Music”, “KION from MTS”.

To solve other problems, users of the “For Auto” tariff are provided with 10 GB per month.

Roaming in Russia and abroad

You can use the “For Auto” tariff throughout the country without restrictions or price changes. The exception is Crimea. In the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Internet speed is significantly reduced.

When connecting to the “For Auto” tariff, the “BIT Abroad” option is automatically activated; it cannot be disabled. Features of this feature:

• usage fees are charged the first time you access the Internet in a day;
• if you haven’t accessed the Internet all day, then the write-off will not occur;
• The day is counted not according to the time of the host country, but according to the time of the home region; this must be taken into account when planning expenses.

The cost of roaming services depends on the country of residence:

Unlimited connection has a significant limitation, only the first 100 MB of Internet is available without speed limit, then a limit of 128 Kbps is included.

The division of countries into groups is arbitrary; this is done only for ease of orientation. A list of countries included in a particular group can be found on the website.

Cost of services after packages are exhausted

After the 10GB package is exhausted, access to the Internet is blocked for the rest of the month. Additional purchase of traffic is not provided for in this tariff. And the most unpleasant thing is that after the package is exhausted, unlimited services also stop working.

Additional options in the tariff

The My MTS application is an optimized version of your personal account. The following functions are available to users of the “For Auto” tariff:

• direct communication with support service;
• control your balance anytime, anywhere;

Paid subscriptions provide access to all sections of the service. Subscription is possible with daily and monthly payment:

• daily – 7 ₱ per day + week of use free for new users;
• monthly – 169 ₱ + one month for new users.

The latter option is more profitable; compared to the daily plan, the savings will be approximately 20%.

If monthly payment is activated, but at the time of debiting there is not enough amount, an automatic transfer to daily payment will be made.

How to connect

As with any non-public tariffs, everything is not so simple with the “Personal” line. They cannot be connected on the official website and it is useless to ask employees of MTS branded salons about this - ordinary subscribers are simply not entitled to hidden tariff plans. But this does not mean that there is no legal way to connect to “Personal” in any of the configurations. There are two options for how this can be done.

The first is to use the services of intermediaries involved in the sale of non-public tariffs. True, you will have to pay several thousand rubles for the connection, which, however, will pay for itself quite quickly, given the size of the subscription fee. The second way is to start transferring to another mobile operator while keeping your number.

In this case, MTS employees will contact you to find out the reason for leaving, simultaneously offering some kind of bonus. Such bonuses may include switching to the “Personal” tariff plan. Of course, no one can guarantee that this will happen. Everything depends solely on luck.

Connection

To activate the “Prestige” tariff, the following methods are offered:

1. Contact the nearest sales office of the company. Here you write an application for connection and make an advance payment for the first month of service.
2. Call technical support at 8(800)250-08-90 . Here you need to use the services of an interactive answering machine and select a connection with a specialist.
3. Fill out an electronic application on the provider’s website. To do this, you need to go to the “Home Internet and Television” section, where you fill out the fields of the application form.

All methods are free, the work of installers at the customer’s site is not paid.

Underwater rocks

There are a number of characteristic features for the Prestige home Internet package. In particular:

1. It is better to deposit funds into your personal account in advance: with the onset of a new billing period, the connection speed drops and payment through the “Personal Account” becomes impossible.
2. Curiously, the contract explicitly states that the provider does not guarantee the stated connection speed. Accordingly, there is no point in complaining about this to technical support.
3. The line is provided free of charge, but if the subscriber terminates the contract within 12 months, he pays a penalty to the operator.
4. The innovative GPON technology, which is widely advertised by the provider, is available only in the capital region.

Subscribers characterize the tariff positively, which is confirmed by numerous reviews.

Our opinion will be as follows: within the framework of the contract, the operator complies with the conditions in full, however, the resolution of technical issues often reaches a dead end. In addition, there are problems on the line and unstable connection speed.

How to switch to the MTS Personal tariff?

Activation of the MTS Personal tariff is carried out by the subscriber independently. We suggest you review the instructions with all possible methods:

• Via the official website. Open mts.ru and go to the subscriber’s personal account (to do this you will need to register or enter your existing username and password). Go to the “Number Management” section, then “Tariffs” and open a special offer. Click "View" and then the "Connect" button.
• In the “My MTS” mobile application. If you have a personal account installed on your smartphone, connecting to the MTS Personal tariff will be much easier. Open the program, go to the “My tariff” section and on the “Available” tab, click on the pop-up banner with a calculation offer.
• Using the support service at 0890. Call the operator and ask to activate the Personal tariff plan on your number. Please note that to identify an individual, a hotline employee has the right to ask for personal information (full name, series and number of passport, year of birth).

Tariffication

The cost of the package varies within 700 rubles: it varies slightly depending on the region of residence. The amount is written off in full upon connection, and then with the onset of a new billing period. If the subscriber forgets to top up the account, the contract is suspended and the personal account is frozen.

During the period of forced blocking, no subscription fee is charged.

With timely payment, the user receives the following services:

• free installation of a fiber optic line, setup of connection and equipment;
• unlimited internet access for a month;
• high-speed connection 100 Mbit/s;
• the ability to download movies in high quality;
• setting up a wireless connection throughout the apartment.

In the latter case, you will need a Wi-Fi router. The equipment is not included in the basic package, so it is paid additionally. A subscriber can rent a router for 10 rubles per day or buy it outright for 1,300 rubles.

Additional services available as part of this package:

• free PC synchronization with tablet or smartphone;
• connection of 100 digital television channels;
• inclusion of a city telephone line in the contract.

The last two options involve a subscription fee, which is added to the total cost of the package.
