“Favorable intercity” from MTS: description of the option for calls

Subscribers of any cellular operator are familiar with the situation when the cost of calls may differ depending on the direction not only by the telecom operator, but also by the region in which the number is used. And if on most package tariffs there is no division into home region and intercity, then for cheap tariffs this is standard practice for most operators.

Today we will tell you about profitable long-distance calls for MTS subscribers: what options or services can be activated to save on long-distance calls, and on what tariff plans the cost of calls to other cities does not differ from local ones.

Description of the service Profitable intercity MTS

The main purpose of the option is to reduce the cost of long-distance calls. It's great for people who make a lot of calls to other cities.

You can save a certain amount with its help.

Conditions:

1. The cost for outgoing calls to any operators will be three rubles.
2. The price for service is 40 rubles/month.

The initial payment is made immediately upon activation. In the future, it will be removed every month, so it is worth taking into account its availability when activating the service.

Advantages and disadvantages

It is enough to take a second look at the description to be convinced that the main advantages of MTS are related to the reduction in the cost of calls to third-party regions. Such advantages explain the purpose of the option, so their appearance should not surprise subscribers. But, if you take a closer look at the telephone company’s offer, it turns out that among the main positive aspects:

• uniform cost for outgoing calls throughout Russia;
• free inbox;
• using the lowest prices when there are several options (tariff and service);
• priority use of packages included in the tariff plan.

Among the shortcomings are:

• the need to call from your home region;
• incompatibility with individual tariffs;
• incompatibility with other operator proposals aimed at reducing long-distance calls.

No other disadvantages or weaknesses were found.

Advantages and disadvantages

You have studied the description of the MTS Favorable intercity service. Many users were able to evaluate the presented proposal. Based on the reviews, many positive criteria can be identified. What are the benefits of the option?

• You can call numbers of various operators in Russia.
• It is possible to make calls to any city.
• A single and clear tariff applies.
• You can save money on calls.
• It is possible to reduce the base cost of long-distance calls.
• You can initially spend the free minutes available on your tariff plan.

Despite the impressive list of advantages, some clients also highlighted negative nuances:

1. The option is valid only in the region of connection to the operator.
2. It is not compatible with similar services. You will have to stop using those already connected to join users of this option.
3. The option is not available on all tariffs.
4. It involves a subscription fee.
5. It will be beneficial only for those who make a lot of long-distance calls.

Package rates

Tariffing of calls to other cities on package tariffs depends on their conditions. So, for some, these may be packages of minutes, which can be used to any number, while for others, calls are paid separately.

On most MTS tariffs, if long-distance is not included in the package of minutes, then calls are paid at five rubles per minute. The exception is “Smart mini”, on which calls to other regions cost fourteen rubles per minute.

If you make a lot of calls to other regions, then you should choose an MTS tariff package that allows you to use a package of minutes not only to Moscow, but also to other Russian numbers.

It is necessary to choose a tariff plan taking into account the number of calls made per month not only to other regions, but in general, including intranet calls. This is due to the fact that package minutes are used when making any call, even if it is to an MTS number.

The cost of the minimum tariff package from MTS, which allows you to call other cities using package minutes, is 480 rubles per month. For this money, 300 minutes are available in “My Unlimited”. This cost will only apply if you choose the minimum Internet package.

Since the tariff package is customizable, you can choose the desired number of minutes. You can connect up to 900 minutes maximum. After using the connected package, calls will be charged at five rubles per minute.

If the capabilities of “My Unlimited” are not enough, we recommend choosing other tariff offers from the operator to save on long-distance calls.

You can choose a tariff from the regular MTS line, or from exclusive offers. The “Unlimited” tariff line includes three tariff plans that will allow you to get up to seven thousand package minutes, which can be used on all networks.

On regular tariffs, the maximum number of package minutes does not exceed five thousand (“Ultra” tariff) at a cost of 2,900 rubles per month.

What tariffs do not provide this service?

It is impossible to connect it on these plans. In case of switching to one of the specified tariffs from another program, the MTS Profitable Intercity service will be automatically disabled by the operator.

The most attractive tariff for calls within Russia to MTS subscribers

If you often and for a long time talk with MTS subscribers connected in other regions, the most economical plan for you will be “Super MTS”.
The tariff does not provide for monthly fixed charges; incoming/outgoing calls to MTS in your region are free (although there is a daily limit on outgoing calls - 20 minutes, which is quite enough).

If you want to connect to Super MTS, you need to dial *888# and the call button from your cell phone or switch to this plan through your Personal Account. The change is free if you change the tariff for the first time in a month, otherwise you will have to pay 150 rubles.

In addition to the plan, to increase the number of free minutes to your operator’s numbers across the country to hundreds per day, enable the “ Call for free to MTS Russia 100” option.

To connect the service you will have to pay only 3.50 rubles, a similar amount will be debited from your balance daily (that turns out to be 105 rubles/month). The connection is immediate after dialing *868# from your cell phone, sending a message containing the text in the form of three digits 868 to the free service number 111, or adding the service in the personal section on the MTS website.

This is the most cost-effective plan if you dial to MTS subscribers in another region, but if you make long-distance calls to other operators, 14 rubles will be debited from your account per minute of conversation, both with and without the connected option.

Mobile Internet is also priced unfavorably compared to many other tariff plans: almost 10 rubles for 1 MB of Internet data transfer or within the SuperBitSmart 3GB/360rub./month option. (12 rubles/day).

The balance of unused free minutes or megabytes of the Internet can be controlled by dialing *100*1# from your number to get information about available minutes, *217# - the balance of digital traffic.

How to save on calls within Russia and other services?

If you have been using MTS for a long time and have accumulated a decent number of points, you are satisfied with the quality of communication, but you are tired of constant price increases for tariffs with a subscription fee or additional payments for the Internet. You can switch to a different tariff for several months and use accumulated bonuses to connect to additional services.

For example, mobile Internet for a certain number of GB or the “Everywhere at home” option can be purchased for accumulated points in the rewards catalog in the MTS Bonus Personal Account.

The most favorable rates in various regions

The best rates for calls within Russia may vary depending on the region. As mentioned above, the Moscow region has the highest prices for communication services; for comparison, the subscription fee for the Smart mini tariff in Moscow is 300 rubles, in other areas of the central region, including St. Petersburg - 200 rubles, Smart - 550 and 300 rubles in Moscow and other regions, respectively.

Within the “Super MTS” of the central region, calls within Russia to MTS are 3 rubles/min, within Russia to other operators – 12 rubles/min. (2 rubles lower than in Moscow). Not all regions have the Super MTS tariff, mainly only in the central regions.

An alternative to the “Your Country” tariff for most regions is the “Guest” tariff, which is also positioned as “The best tariff for calls within Russia, the CIS and Asia.”

The cost of a minute of international calls within this tariff differs in regions. In St. Petersburg – 5 rubles/min., Lipetsk – 2.5 rubles/min., Volgograd – 1.80 rubles/min. (MTS subscribers), 3.50 rub./min. (to subscribers of other operators).

How to disable

Disconnection proceeds in almost the same way as connection. MTS has developed several convenient methods for canceling the option. Each client can choose the most convenient method for himself, for which no fee is charged:

1. It is very easy to disconnect from the provision of preferential services if you use a personal account. To do this, you need to go through the section with services and press the deactivation button “Beneficial Intercity”.
2. It is possible to disable the service by entering the service combination. To do this, dial *111*903# on your phone and select the disable option in the menu that appears.

4. If the above methods do not help, it is recommended to use the help of a help desk operator or a company salon employee. The procedure is similar to connecting, so there should be no difficulties. The main thing is to have your passport with you.

The service will be disabled within 24 hours from the moment the application is submitted. As soon as the benefits are deactivated, the client will learn about this via SMS.

MTS intranet roaming 2021: communication services when traveling around Russia

The cellular operator Mobile TeleSystems canceled MTS intranet roaming in Russia back in 2021. However, there has been a little confusion with calls and SMS, because now during a trip the region where the subscriber is currently located (the region of residence) is considered home, and calls within this territory become local for him. And calls to the real home network where the connection took place become long-distance.

The costs of calls and SMS when traveling in Russia depend on the tariff plan. If local packages are connected, then when traveling they will only be valid within the region of your stay, and calls and SMS outside of it will be considered intercity. If you have connected packages that are valid throughout Russia, you can safely continue to communicate while traveling under the same conditions.

The situation with MTS mobile Internet is simpler - from 2021 it operates throughout the country without additional payments. While traveling around Russia, subscribers can communicate via instant messengers and use social networks under the same conditions as at home.

Tariffs without surcharges when traveling around Russia

The mobile operator MTS has a number of tariffs that allow you to use cellular communications when traveling around the country under the same conditions as at home. Having chosen one of them, you don’t have to think about the costs, they won’t change. These tariff plans include:

1. “Tariff” - includes from 600 to 1600 minutes and SMS to all Russian networks and unlimited Internet (25 GB of traffic). Monthly payment – ​​from 525 to 1075 rubles. (the amount depends on the selected package of minutes and SMS).
2. “ULTRA” – 3500 minutes within Russia, 3500 SMS within Russia, unlimited Internet (15 GB of traffic) for 1800 rubles. per month.
3. “Smart Top” - 2000 minutes to all networks, unlimited calls to MTS numbers throughout Russia and unlimited Internet for 1300 rubles. per month.

All other MTS tariff plans provide for a change in tariffs when a subscriber moves to another region of the Russian Federation.

Additional options for profitable calls within Russia

If you don’t want to change your tariff, but don’t mind saving on calls to other cities in Russia, you can activate additional options, for example.

The monthly fee for the option is 40 rubles, the cost of long-distance calls to the numbers of all mobile operators is 3 rubles/min.

Connection after dialing *111*903# from your cell phone, or sending a message containing the text in the form of three numbers 903 (9030, if the option is no longer needed and you want to remove it) to the free service number 111, or adding the service in the personal section on the website MTS.
