MTS turbo button: what is it?
The “Turbo button” option on MTS is an additional amount of traffic provided to the subscriber upon request at the moment when the main package ends. Depending on the type of your device, you can use different packages:
- There are 2 main options for a smartphone: 100 or 500 Mb. Please note that a 100 MB package will cost you only 30 rubles, while 500 already costs 95. But at the same time, the time during which you can use up the traffic in the first case is only a day. But 500 MB is already offered for a month. Well, either until the balance is reset, it all depends on what happens first.
- More impressive packages are available for the tablet: 1 or 2 Gb. Their cost is 175 and 250 rubles, respectively. By choosing one of these MTS “Turbo button” options, you get internet for 30 days or until it’s completely used up, whichever comes first.
- But for the modem they have developed as many as 4 packages: 5 Gb and 20 GB or unlimited 3-hour and 6-hour connection. The first 2 options are valid for 30 days from the moment of activation or until that bright moment when you see the coveted “0” in the “Traffic balance” line. The price of such connections, to put it mildly, is “biting”: 5 GB costs 350 rubles, 20 - 500, and hourly options are 95 and 150 rubles, respectively.
Please note that all additional traffic, except for unlimited hourly options, is valid throughout Russia with the exception of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
general description
As mentioned earlier, turbo buttons are used to increase Internet traffic. This allows you to enjoy good speed and quickly exchange information via the network even if you run out of megabytes (according to your tariff plan or other option). The line of turbo buttons is presented in several options: from 100 megabytes to 20 gigabytes. At the same time, the “junior” option is provided only for one day. All others are for a month.
How does the MTS Turbo button work?
Let us explain how the MTS “Turbo button” works using a specific example. For example, you use mobile Internet on your smartphone. And as always, at absolutely the wrong time, you are running out of traffic, and you just desperately need to publish a new photo on Instagram right now. What to do? It's simple. Choose the size of the “Turbo button” that suits you: 100 or 200 MB and connect it. As soon as you receive an SMS confirmation, you can use the Internet again.
We remind you once again that the time for using Internet traffic provided using the MTS “Turbo button” is different: if you connect 100 MB, the validity period of such an option is only a day from the moment you connected the option, or until the megabytes run out - it depends from what happens first. All other packages are valid for a month from the moment of activation, or until the traffic is exhausted.
You should also remember that if you have remaining megabytes within your tariff plan, the connected package will be used first, and only then the tariff traffic.
How to turn it on?
You can enable the MTS “Turbo button” in 3 ways:
- using USSD commands;
- in your personal account;
- in the My MTS application.
Let's look at each option in more detail.
USSD request
The easiest way to turn on the “Turbo button” is a combination of numbers to dial. Each option has its own set of characters. For example:
- 100 Mb: *111*05*1#.
- 500 Mb: *167# or send an SMS with the number 167 to 5340.
- 1 Gb: *467#.
- 2 Gb: *168# or send SMS with the text 168 to number 5340.
- 5 Gb: *169# or send an SMS with the number 169 to 5340.
- 20 Gb: *469#.
- Unlimited connection lasting 3 hours: *637# or in the mobile application.
- Unlimited connection lasting 6 hours: *638# or in the mobile application.
By the way, those who have been using the company’s services for a long time remember a much wider range of services of this type. So, for example, a couple of years ago, as an MTS subscriber, you could easily activate the “Turbo nights” option. By choosing this service, you received unlimited Internet use from 00.00 to 7.00. And it would cost you 200 rubles per day. But, unfortunately or fortunately, since April 2021, night traffic is closed for connection.
