MTS "On the Web": detailed description
In the operator’s assortment, the option is considered the most profitable offer for Internet communication. Valid in Russia, not available only in Chukotka. The offer allows you to send messages, watch news, photos and videos on certain platforms and constantly be online. Traffic destined for the list of selected applications and sites is not counted.
MTS is available on almost all operator tariffs, with the exception of “MTS Tablet” and “X”. For most plans it is added after purchasing a SIM card, but with “Zabugorische” and “Unlimited” it comes as pre-installed since June 2017. When changing these TPs, it also automatically turns off along with them.
The conditions for the option are simple: with the onset of a new day, you pay a mandatory subscription fee, and spend traffic only on dedicated portals. Other Internet options are not consumed while working with social networks and instant messengers. However, keep in mind that in some cases you go beyond the limited area unintentionally:
- watch videos downloaded from RuTube, YouTube, Vimeo and other video services on VK or Odnoklassniki;
- enable data compression in the browser;
- surf the pages in “Incognito” mode;
- access websites via Wap;
- connected to the “General Package” or “Unified Internet”.
And modern smartphones often consume traffic in the background. If you do not have Internet options other than “VNet,” it is better to disable updating applications via mobile networks and generally transferring data while you are taking a break from the Internet. Internet for the AppStore or Play Store will have to be paid.
Description
The option on the MTS network is an excellent option for active Internet users. Let's study the conditions for it:
- Subscription fee – 4 rubles per day.

Summary
The “VNet” service from MTS is an excellent offer that helps save Internet traffic when using social networks and instant messengers. The price for this option is small, only 120 rubles. per month, and the GB savings are significant.
Despite this, “VSet” has its disadvantages. This service will not work when viewing content that was downloaded from third-party resources, with data compression and “Incognito” mode in the browser.
Thus, even if you only use social networks, you will still have to pay for a basic Internet package.
What is the price
How much does the option cost on the MTS network? Price – 4 rubles for all tariffs. The exception is Unlimited and Zabugorishche, for them the cost will be 0 rubles. Therefore, it is profitable to connect these plans; you can get an additional option for free.
The cost is the same for most regions of Russia. But in individual regions the parameter may differ. The client should check this fact before connecting.
How can I find out the settings for your region? Necessary:

Nuances
In the conditions, the operator left a number of important nuances that deserve special attention from subscribers. Let's consider them further.
The MTS Social Networks option provides 10 GB per month. If the user spends more traffic on social networks, the speed is cut to 512 Kbps.
This is a very unpleasant surprise from the operator. It is understandable to want to get more money from clients using various Turbo buttons. But a number of similar proposals do not have such dubious conditions.
Another nuance is that applications can use third-party resources. In this case, traffic is subtracted from the packet. The operator cannot determine that the connection occurred through a social networking program.
Therefore, the subscriber must have the Internet option activated, or have a traffic package according to the tariff. Otherwise, when applications use third-party resources, you will have to pay a serious amount.
How to activate the service?
Important: when you switch to Unlimited and Zabugorishche, the service is activated automatically. It is enough to check its presence in your personal account and whether the system has connected the option.

Reviews
One of the indicators of the quality of the “Online” option from MTS is reviews from real users.
You can find many comments on special websites and forums, so let’s highlight a few of them:
“If the main Internet package is used up, access to Telegram, VKontakte and other applications is closed. Viewing files and listening to music on WhatsApp is also closed. I am disappointed. It’s not entirely clear what you have to pay money for.” Anna, 33 years old.
“When I connected, I knew that this option was intended for people who spend almost the entire day on social networks. I consider myself to be in this category, so I decided to try it. The advantages are a low monthly cost, the ability to communicate on social networks without worrying about traffic. “Pitfalls” include the need to spend money on the main package, as well as exceptions in traffic accounting (you often forget about them).” Ilya, 35 years old.
“Today you can find enough tariffs where this option is already free or the subscriber is given a volume of traffic that is enough to communicate on the Internet. I concluded for myself that the option is provided for older packages, where the number of available GB is significantly limited. I’m already thinking about how to disable the entire MTS Network.” Stanislav, 28 years old.
Reviews about the “Online” function vary. Some are sure that this service from MTS is completely useless and does not work correctly. But there are also those users who “fish” out of it many positive aspects. A number of subscribers note the convenience of the plan, the ability to save basic traffic and the affordable price. Regarding comments complaining about cheating, in most cases such situations are caused by incorrect use of the service.
It is important to remember that due to the way they work, social networks often use traffic from third-party sites. In this case, GB from the main package is consumed. That's why it's important to monitor the amount of available traffic through your phone app or personal account.
OK
Personal account is a modern way to manage your account. It allows you to carry out all operations without any problems. You no longer have to call the contact center or look for a combination.
How to activate the option in Personal Account?
- Go to the website and go to My MTS.
- Log in using your number and password.
- Open a section with services in your personal account.
- Find the one you are interested in.
- Click on the button to activate.
The application replicates your personal account in its capabilities. But it is more convenient to use; performing various operations takes even less time. You can use it as the main tool for interacting with your account.
The procedure for connecting Internet traffic for points
MTS has provided many ways to use gift savings. Among the most convenient methods, the use of USSD commands or short messages should be noted. The subscriber must independently select the desired service for which the points will be used.
All of them are described in detail on the official MTS resource in the rewards catalogue. Here, each client will definitely be able to choose for himself an option on how to spend bonuses, based on their amount on the balance and personal preferences when using communication services.
For example, for active users of the global network there is the “SuperBIT” option, to connect to which you only need to accumulate 600 points.
Examples of connecting Internet services:
- In order to accrue conditionally free 10 Mb of traffic, you must enter *111*455*31#;
- For 30 Mb – *111*455*32#;
- For 60 Mb – *111*455*33#.
