As of 2021, the mobile services operator MTS is a leader in providing high-quality private and corporate mobile tariffs. In the field of customer service, this corporation occupies an honorable place among the “Big Four” of Russia.

Start

The Smart Business Start tariff plan opens the tariff line. The tariff is characterized by the smallest packages for communication, nevertheless maintaining unlimited limits within one contract.

Its cost differs by region of Russia. In Moscow and the Moscow region, customers will pay 400 rubles in monthly payments for it, and on average in the Russian Federation the cost of its use will be 250 rubles per month.

This is the list of services included in the main package of the Smart Business Start tariff plan for Moscow and the Moscow region:

The second largest tariff plan in the line is the Smart Business M tariff.

Despite the fact that communication within one contract on the Smart Business M tariff from MTS is still unlimited.

Users from the Moscow region will pay a monthly payment of 600 rubles for using the MTS Business M plan, and on average in Russia the tariff will cost users 420 rubles.

Switching with your number from another operator to MTS to this tariff will also cost 100 rubles and 100 rubles will cost a change of tariff for MTS subscribers (in case of a previous change in the tariff plan less than a month ago).

general characteristics

The main package of the Smart Business 1 tariff plan uses conversations without established limits. But they are provided only for a “closed group of subscribers.” All these telephone numbers are included in the concluded contract for the provision of communication services. Such a group can be created by any user of the tariff offer. It is worth noting that individuals may also be involved in drawing up contracts. At the same time, contacts of even other cellular operators may be in a closed group. All enterprises can independently configure all options and services for their employees in accordance with their stated requests.

In addition, it is worth highlighting other main advantages that the tariff offer boasts:

The ability to distribute Internet traffic to other users, including to other devices.
There are no boundaries set between employees regarding calls and their duration.
Set internet size.

Each item can be configured independently. For this purpose, numerous modifications of the tariff plan are provided. The line includes not only the “Start” package, but also “M”, “L”, “XL” and “Unlimited”. It is worth talking about each direction in more detail so that you have an idea of the procedure for maintenance, activation and deactivation.

L

The next increasing package volume of minutes and traffic is offered to users of the corporate line as part of the Smart Business L plan. Residents of Russia will also pay for the package differently depending on the region of connection. Moscow and Moscow region subscribers will pay 1,000 rubles monthly for using the tariff, and in the regions the price is lower - about 850 rubles per month. The package offer also varies somewhat for network subscribers.

Capital corporate clients of MTS Business L receive the following package volume:

Calls to MTS numbers in your region, issued under one contract	Calls to all Russian networks	Internet traffic when in your home region	SMS to numbers of any operators throughout the country

Unlimited	1500 minutes	10 GB	2000

Important! Like previous tariff plans in the line, the conditions apply only when you are in your home region. For all trips outside of your service area, the tariffs begin to apply to the intra-network and international conditions for the provision of communication services from MTS.

The conditions for transferring with your number from a third-party operator or transfer within the network are the same as in the previous tariff - 100 rubles. Free for MTS subscribers if more than 1 month has passed since the previous tariff change.

Cost of services

There is a subscription fee of 400 rubles for using the contract. If the entrepreneur’s SIM card has a city number, then this amount is increased to 900 rubles.

If at this moment the personal account has zero or minus, but not more than 300 rubles, then over the next 61 days the subscriber can receive incoming calls, text messages and make calls to service numbers. As soon as the user leaves this time interval and does not replenish the balance by more than 0.01 rubles, the SIM card will no longer be serviced by the operator.

In this case, the difference in the cost of using the tariff between subscribers in the capital and the regions is small - 1,500 rubles in Moscow and the region and 1,600 rubles on average in other regions. The difference in the package offer remains at a large level.

Calls to MTS numbers in your region, issued under one contract	Calls to telephone numbers of all Russian networks	Internet traffic	SMS to numbers of any operators throughout the country
