MTS tariffs for modem and tablet

If you often access the Internet via a modem, there is the MTS Connect-4 tariff with 4G support. There is no subscription fee. To fully work on your computer, connect the “Internet 4 Mbit/s”, Internet Mini, Maxi or Vip options. There is a ready-made solution “MTS Tablet” especially for tablets - for 550 rubles. per month you can get 10 GB of Internet traffic and an unlimited option to choose from.

Second-by-second

Already from the name it is clear that the main feature is per-second payment for calls. It is suitable only for those clients who communicate little and make calls mainly to ask to call them back.

Important! In this MTS tariff without a subscription fee, there is no usual rounding to the nearest minute, so the subscriber pays only for the time that he actually spoke.

Per-second payment applies only within the connection area. The rates for each second of conversation differ depending on the location of the connection. So for Moscow the cost of calls is 5 kopecks/sec. This applies to both MTS numbers and other operators.

The rest of the prices on “Per-Second” are as follows:

• on-net calls to other regions – 5 rubles/min.;
• communication in other networks – 14 rubles/min.;
• communication within the CIS – 29 rubles/min.;
• calls to Europe – 49 rubles/min.;
• other countries – 79 rubles/min.;
• sending text messages within your home region - 2 rubles, to other destinations within the country - 3.8 rubles, abroad - 5.25 rubles;
• sending multimedia messages – 6.5 rubles each;
• Internet – for 1 MB 9.9 rubles.

As it becomes clear, other services besides calls on Posecond are not profitable. If you need to use the Internet or send a certain volume of SMS, it is better to activate one of the options that can reduce the use of the required services.

You can switch to “Per Second” for free if the terms of service have not been changed in the last 30 days. Otherwise you will need to pay 150 rubles. Switch to “Per-second” - ✶111✶881#.

Tariff plans without subscription fees

The MTS series of tariffs without monthly fees are quite tempting in terms of price for users who want to always be in touch and make short calls relatively infrequently. Such mobile service packages do not require mandatory daily or monthly subscription payments for the right to use a SIM card, regardless of whether the tariff was activated during this period or not.

Why spend 300-400 rubles on subscription fees for hundreds of minutes of communication and gigabytes of Internet traffic if you don’t need it either at work or at home. It is enough to use a tariff without a subscription fee and spend money only on real minutes of conversation and sent messages.

Today, the mobile operator MTS offers 4 packages that do not require regular fees for the right to use them.

"Your country"

It features affordable pricing for long-distance calls and calls to neighboring countries, China, Vietnam, and South Korea. In addition, this mobile package offers inexpensive communication with phones at a similar tariff (1 ruble per minute), does not support content services and paid voice services, which eliminates the risks of accidentally spending funds from the account. This package has a fairly high cost for SMS (from 2.50 to 6.5 rubles) and 1 MB of traffic (9.90 rubles). The most convenient way to connect to this tariff plan is with the USSD command *111*182#.

"Super MTS"

It does not require the user to pay a monthly subscription fee and provides free communication from the first minute in the native regional network. As part of this tariff offer, it is important to activate. This will allow you to receive more than one and a half hours of interregional communication with MTS SIM card owners every day. Otherwise, the time limit will be limited to 20 monthly minutes for calls outside the region of registration. The cost of an SMS message is 2.00 rubles. Communication with clients of other providers is quite expensive. It is possible to automatically connect paid ones. You can use the package by dialing *888#.

"Second-by-second"

Per-second billing for calls is suitable for people who want to get rid of a monthly subscription fee and are not classified as active mobile users. The cost of one second of a call to MTS, a landline number or a card from a non-native provider is 5 kopecks. The fee for 1 MB of Internet reaches 9.90 rubles, but you can use unlimited traffic through the bonus application “SuperBIT Smart”. The transition to “Per-second” is performed by service request *111*881#.

"Red Energy"

A unified tariff offer that provides the user with an equally favorable cost of communication (RUB 1.60 per minute) with cardholders of any regional operator. In a situation with calls to another region, payment for services occurs differentiated: MTS – 5 rubles. per minute, other providers – 8 rubles. per min. The cost of one SMS message is 1.90 rubles, 1 MB of traffic costs 9.90 rubles, but you can activate and use unlimited Internet. Fast connection is realized via USSD request *111*727#.

Super MTS

Another MTS tariff option without a subscription fee. In it, the use of other services, except for calls, costs the same as in “Per Second”. As for the conversations, they are as follows:

1. Conversations within the connection region – 20 minutes per day. After the package is exhausted, each minute will cost 1.5 rubles.
2. Landline numbers – 20 minutes per day. Then 2.5 rubles/min.
3. Calls to other regions of the country in the operator’s network cost 5 rubles, to other networks – 14 rubles per minute.

Important! There is a variation of this tariff “Super MTS. Region". It is suitable for more advantageous communication in a limited number of areas of the country.

You can also activate the “Benefit calls” option every month. It helps reduce the cost of calls to other networks to 75 kopecks/min. It is not very convenient that such an opportunity needs to be updated every month, although this is easy to do, you should dial the command ✶111✶8578#.

All other popular services can be connected in the form of packages that require regular withdrawal of a certain amount from the account. Activating everything is not so profitable, so you should look at the situation. If you need the Internet, then you should enable the thematic option, and do the same with SMS.

To switch to “Super MTS” you should dial the combination ✶111✶8888#.

Tariffs from the Smart collection from MTS

The entire broad potential of cellular communications and Internet services is fully revealed in the tariff offers of the Smart series, which are correctly adapted for modern smartphones. Mobile service packages have individual sets of user advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to thoroughly examine each description to choose the most suitable option.

"Smart"

The tariff plan of the same name with the entire line, which is a pioneer in the series and offers quite affordable terms of service. The monthly commission for use ranges from 300 to 450 rubles. (varies by region). For this amount, the user receives unlimited calls to MTS in the region, 500 free SMS and 3-4 GB of traffic. 500 minutes are also provided for communication with users of MTS and other providers outside the home region. Having exhausted the limit, you will have to pay 2 rubles. per minute of communication and 1 ruble per SMS message. The SIM card of this package cannot be used in routers and modems due to high data transfer speed restrictions. To connect “Smart” use the command *111*1024#.

"Smart+"

“Smart +” has retained the best of “Smart” and will become useful to active users who want to have free intra-regional MTS communications and are not embarrassed by the monthly fee of 600-900 rubles per month (varies by region). Package limits have been significantly increased, starting from 1100 minutes for numbers of MTS Russia and other providers, ending with traffic of 5 GB. The operator also provided 1,100 SMS messages to all numbers in the home region. In a situation where the allocated time limit has expired, the cost of the call is set at 2 rubles. per min. When the allocated traffic volume is fully used, additional Internet is automatically activated at a price of 150 rubles. for 1 GB. The Smart + SIM card interacts ineffectively with a modem or router due to the inevitable limitation of network speed. You can activate this tariff plan with a short request *111*1025#.

"Smart mini"

All MTS tariffs included in the “Smart” collection provide for a significant subscription fee for the right to allocate huge limits of minutes, messages and the Internet. If there is no need for such a large scale of mobile services, but you still need constant free communication and the Internet, the compact and economical Smart Mini package will be useful. The monthly payment has been reduced to 200-300 rubles (varies by region). The user is allocated 2 GB of traffic, unlimited calls within the network, 200-250 SMS and 200-250 minutes to numbers of other providers outside the region. This is the most affordable MTS package offer today! It is important to take into account here that the tariffs for mobile communication services in excess of the established limits are quite high. When it is not possible to regularly fit into the proposed package framework, you should opt for a different tariff. If there are no such problems, to activate “Smart mini” dial the combination *111*1023#.

"Smart Unlimited"

The “Smart Unlimited” package is positioned by MTS as the company’s best tariff, which does not limit users either in traffic or in calls to interregional MTS numbers. In addition, this package includes 200 SMS and 200 minutes to numbers of other providers in the region. “Unlimited” provides for daily subscription payments, which in the first month amount to 12.90 rubles. per day and increase to 19 daily rubles in subsequent months. It is important to know that the provider has the right to initiate a reduction in traffic speed in case of network congestion. Also, the SIM card cannot be shared with a modem or router, but it freely distributes wireless Internet via the gadget’s Wi-Fi module. To switch to this tariff, you can request *111*3888#.

"Smart Top"

It can be considered a profitable, expensive purchase (RUB 1,500 per month) for hyperactive users of mobile services. In addition to the absence of restrictions on calls within the regional network, there are impressive monthly limits for communication with subscribers of other providers (2000 minutes). If the limit is exhausted, the cost of a minute of communication will be 2 rubles, and for each additional gigabyte of the Internet you will have to pay 150 rubles. It is important to consider here that the 2000 minute limit also includes calls to MTS outside the home region. You can go to “Smart Top” by request *111*1026#.

"Smart Nonstop"

Until recently, “Smart Nonstop” acted as an alternative to the “Unlimited” package due to dedicated (10 GB) daily traffic and unlimited Internet from one in the morning until seven in the morning. Monthly subscription payment ranges from 350 to 500 rubles (varies by region). There is no limit on MTS calls within the regional network. For calls within Russia, including to numbers of other providers, from 300 to 400 free minutes and the same number of SMS are provided. Exceeding the limit of package offers implies payment of one minute of communication in the amount of 2 rubles. The cost of an additional SMS will be 1.50 rubles. Here it is important to take into account the per-minute pricing of the package. Even a few seconds of conversation (more than 3) will be rounded up to a whole minute. It is also worth paying attention to the impossibility of connecting a huge list of options such as “BIT + Mobile TV”, “Unlimited for a day in Russia”, “MTS tablet”, etc. The transition to “Smart Nonstop” is activated by the USSD request *111*1027#.

Guest

The tariff plan is similar to the previous one, but it is not available for Moscow. Among the features of “Guest” is that communication with subscribers who use the same tariff is free. Other calls are 2 and 5 rubles. For other tariff plans “at home” and for intercity on MTS.

Sending an SMS within Russia will cost 2 rubles, abroad – 6 rubles.

Services are automatically activated:

1. "Beep."
2. "The first Internet package."
3. SMS package.

Its total cost is 560 rubles. You can go by sending a request - ✶111✶741#.

For the Internet

The operator has created separate tariffs for access to the network:

1. "For a tablet." Allows you to spend 10 GB of traffic monthly. In addition to this, you can select one resource in which traffic will not be charged. The list of such services includes mobile TV, social networks, YouTube and video calls. Cost 400 rubles per month. Activation using the combination *111*845#.
2. "For a laptop." Subscription fee 700 rubles. Internet access is provided unlimited. Connection speed up to 4 Mbit per second. Go by command *111*3621#.
3. "Smart device". Designed for Smart Watches, Smart Homes and Security Systems. Payment for the first year is charged upon activation - 790 rubles. From the second year, the write-off will become monthly at 90 rubles per month. The subscription fee includes 100 SMS, 200 MB of traffic and 30 minutes.

Which one is the most profitable?

MTS tariffs without a monthly fee are numerous, but which one is the most convenient? The answer depends on what communication purposes it is intended for. More specifically:

1. “Super MTS” is considered the cheapest, of course, in order for it to become such, you need to abandon all automatic and any paid services.
2. If you need to make calls to subscribers of different operators, then you should choose “Per-second” or “Red Energy”. Of course, the benefits can only be felt when talking with subscribers within the home region.
3. “Your Country” and “Guest” are suitable for convenient long-distance calls.

Disabling automatic options

In order not to pay extra, you need to disable automatic services on the presented tariffs. This can be done through your Personal Account or application, or by visiting the operator’s office. To do this, you can use the following commands:

• “Call for free within Russia 100” - ✶111✶868#;
• “Beep” - ✶111✶29#;
• “SuperBit” - ✶111✶8650#;
• “SMS Smart Package” - ✶111✶9009#;
• “First Internet package” - ✶111✶1431#.

Tariffs that do not require constant payments are quite convenient. Of course, they are designed for those who only talk and do this not so often and for a short time.
