By purchasing a SIM card from the MTS operator, we enter into an agreement for the provision of communication services in our home region. That is, in the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region the basic tariffication will always be maintained. It will change only when moving to another area or region. Also " Home region» from MTS is a whole series of tariff modifiers that allow you to get interesting conditions services when traveling around Russia. Let's look at them in more detail.

What is MTS home region

First, we need to understand the geographical features of the provision of communication services. MTS's home region is the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region, where subscribers are provided with the opportunity to receive services in accordance with the basic tariff. That is, standard prices apply here, which are usually prescribed in price lists - these are the affordable cost of outgoing calls, free incoming calls and adequate prices for the Internet.

Outside the geographic boundaries of Moscow and the Moscow region, home region tariffs are disabled and the subscriber goes to intranet roaming. Many modern tariff plans allow roaming at home rates, but some services (for example, SMS) are charged differently there. The worst situation is for residents of border areas, where the phone can bounce around base station to the guest room.

If we look at the map of MTS’s home region and coverage area, we will find a note that the map was compiled by a computer and does not take into account the peculiarities of radio wave propagation and does not coincide with the geographical boundaries of the area.

Connecting the “Home Region”

• “Everywhere at home Smart” – designed for users of older versions of some tariffs from the “Smart” line;
• “Everywhere is like home” – we will accept this option as the main one;
• “Inbox while traveling around Russia” is an excellent option for travelers around Russia;
• “50 SMS while traveling around Russia” and “100 SMS while traveling around Russia” are interesting options for those who like to communicate via text messages.

We will tell you how to connect the “Home Region” on MTS, and what will be the features of tariffing for services in the regions.

Option “Everywhere at home”

When planning to connect the “Home Region” to MTS, users want to count on more favorable tariffs for calls when traveling around Russia. But there is no such service in the operator’s network, but there is a profitable modifier “Like home everywhere.” It is valid for all tariffs, with the exception of those that already have standard tariffs even for travel (these include tariffs from the “Smart” line). Let's see what a subscriber who uses this option will receive:

• Free incoming calls – incoming calls often take the lion's share Money. On modern tariff plans they are free, but on many tariff plans they are charged;
• 3 rubles/min for calls to phones in your home region - any numbers, both landline and cell phones. These prices apply outside of Moscow and the region;
• All outgoings within Russia 3 rubles/min – an excellent inexpensive intercity outside the home region from MTS;
• 100 SMS per day to any Russian numbers is a worthy addition to such a useful option.

The most attractive thing is that using the option requires the lowest subscription fee. For connection you need to pay 30 rubles, and the daily subscription fee will be only 7 rubles/day, disconnection is free. Let's take a look at how to connect the “Home Region” from MTS (more precisely, the “Like Home Everywhere” option). To do this, you need to dial the USSD command *111*3333# or send an SMS with the text “3333” (without quotes) to the free service number 111.

The easiest way to connect it is through your “Personal Account”, using it from your computer. In order to disable the “Home Region” from MTS, you need to dial the USSD command *111*3333# or send an SMS with the text “33330” (without quotes) to number 111.

If you have returned to your home region and do not intend to leave its borders in the near future, be sure to disable the option. Otherwise, the subscription fee will be wasted. Automatic shutdown no option provided.

Other options

The “Home Region” tariff does not exist in MTS, but we have a large number of tariff modifiers to choose from. We have already looked at what the “Everywhere at home” option offers. But it is not suitable for many subscribers. We will therefore consider three alternative proposals.

“Everywhere is like home Smart”

The “Everywhere at home Smart” option is aimed at subscribers using outdated versions tariff plans"Smart" and the current version of the tariff " Smart Mini" For each tariff, the option offers its own advantages. For example, “Smart Mini” users are offered 1 GB of traffic, 250 minutes to any phones in the home region and MTS numbers throughout Russia, unlimited to MTS numbers in the home zone, as well as free incoming calls.

Users are also provided with 250 text messages and reduced prices for sending CMC to MTS numbers outside the home region (3.8 rubles/piece). The subscription fee is 100 rubles/month for all tariff plans.

“Incoming when traveling around Russia”

If you have to leave the MTS home region, use the “Everywhere at home Smart” modifier. It makes incoming calls free, but only if they are received from MTS phones in the region in which the traveler is located. For example, if you are in Krasnodar region, and they call you from Novosibirsk MTS, then the call will be paid.

The option is quite strange in terms of content, it will be useful only to those who have all the subscribers in their phone book using MTS communications. But it's free, which is a plus. If you are going to leave your home region, connect the modifier with the USSD command *111*473# or send an SMS with the text “473” to the number 111. Disconnections can be made using a similar command or an SMS with the text “4730”. Messages are sent without quotes.

Upon returning to your home region, MTS will automatically return to the basic tariff. It is not necessary to disable the service.

SMS packages

The package offers “50 SMS when traveling around Russia” and “100 SMS when traveling around Russia” are aimed at those who like to send SMS while in domestic Russian roaming. Message tariffication and connection:

• 50 SMS – 135 rubles, to connect, dial the USSD command *111*124# or send an SMS with the text “124” (without quotes) to service number 111;
• 100 SMS – 180 rubles, to connect, dial the USSD command *111*125# or send an SMS with the text “125” (without quotes) to service number 111.

Messages are valid for 30 days. The modifier works on almost all tariffs, with the exception of tariffs of the “Smart” line. When returning to your MTS home region, the basic home tariff begins to apply. To check the number of remaining SMS, use the USSD command *100*2#.

Instead of numerous USSD commands and SMS commands, you can use the more convenient MTS “Personal Account”, which is available both in your home region and in intranet roaming.

Internet discounts

Not to mention discounts on the Internet outside the home region of MTS would be a crime against society - many subscribers can easily do without SMS and voice communications, but cannot imagine their life without world wide web. If your TP does not provide traffic that is valid throughout Russia, use the option “ Super BIT" It operates throughout the country and offers 3 GB of Internet traffic. The subscription fee is 350 rubles/month, the same tariff will apply in the home region.

To connect the option, you need to send the USSD command *111*628# or use “ Personal account" If you don't need Mobile Internet When returning to your home region, be sure to turn off this service to avoid writing off excess subscription fee. For modem owners, we can recommend the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option, valid throughout Russia (only for the “MTS Connect-4” tariff). It offers access at the specified speed for 750 rubles/month without traffic restrictions.

The downside is that outside the MTS home region, an additional subscription fee of 50 rubles per day will be charged from the number - the same applies to other Internet options for the specified tariff.

Home region is the territory where the subscriber's number was registered. Within its limits, the most favorable tariff for communication is provided. Moreover, if you travel to another region of the country, you can activate an option under which the cost of a call will be the same as in your home territory.

If you are planning a move or a trip to another region of Russia, make sure that this option is available where you are going to go. Activation of the option is possible for a majority of Megafon tariff packages. The packages available for connection include tariffs A, B, C, D, E, Prior, Individual, Penny, Student, Unified, Military, MegaFon-Modemm and others. “Home region” is an undoubted convenience for active users, allowing them to save a decent amount of money on calls.

Service cost Home region

“Home Region” is a paid service that requires a subscription fee and daily withdrawals of pennies from the account. So, when you activate the option, an amount of 25 rubles will be withdrawn from your account. It is removed every time you connect the service for each individual region.

The subscription fee is fixed and amounts to 2 rubles per day. This is very convenient, because by debiting funds daily, you can avoid unnecessary expenses by using the service only during your stay in another region.

Methods for connecting the “Home Region”

A subscriber who has changed his territorial location can activate the “Home Region” service immediately before entering another region. To do this, the mobile operator offers one of three options:

1. By dialing a simple combination of numbers *437*55#, then press the call button.
2. Using the “Service Guide” option. To do this, you need to dial the following combination on your phone: 105#. Press call and, following the prompts, activate the service.
3. By contacting your mobile operator. To do this, call 0050 and wait for the announcement voice menu, press “0”.

Please note that you can also quickly check with your operator about the possibility of connecting to the service for the region of the country you require. To check the status of the service, just dial *437*55*0# on your phone and call.

How to disable "Home Region" from MegaFon

Disabling the service can be done at the time of leaving the preferential region. To do this, you can use two methods:

1. By contacting the mobile operator using the short number 0050.
2. By dialing the combination *437*55*2# and call. This method much more accessible and convenient.

Make sure that there are enough funds in your account during the connection period. Don't forget to also make sure that the connection timely option is disabled.

When studying the service offerings of different mobile operators in Russia, you will definitely come across the concept of home region. It is basic for almost all companies mobile communications operating throughout the country. The amount of payment for calls often depends on it, mobile messages and other services provided.

The introduction of the concept of home region is associated with huge territory countries for which providing dense mobile coverage is much more difficult than for regions with high density population.

What does "home region" mean?

As you know, the territory of Russia is divided into administrative regions, which are separate subjects of the Federation and have the right of relative self-government. Mobile operators open their branches in each of the regions, and the branches have very broad independence, right down to setting their own prices for communication services. Of course, the cost of some service in this case may differ from the cost of the same service in neighboring region in one direction or another.

When setting prices and tariffs, marketers take into account a number of factors to ensure that communication services within the region are accessible to the population living there and competitive. At the same time, low intraregional rates are usually compensated by more substantial charges for calls made to other regions of the country. If a subscriber travels outside of his home region for some time, the intra-Russian roaming mode with its own pricing policy is activated.

From the point of view of an ordinary subscriber "home region" is considered to be the one in which his SIM card was purchased and the intraregional tariff connected to it is valid.

What is a home region in MTS?

The concept of home region operates in MTS as follows: this is the region in which you bought your MTS SIM card and use the intraregional favorable tariff. At the same time, you can call other regions without any additional settings.

To make calls to other regions more accessible, you can add an option to your tariff called "Profitable intercity", which will make it possible to call throughout Russia for only 3 rubles per minute with a monthly fee of 40 rubles per month. If your tariff includes a package of prepaid calls to other regions, the option will begin to operate only after the package minutes have been used up. “Favorable intercity” is connected as follows:

• V "Personal account";
• via command *111*903# from your phone;
• by sending SMS to short number 111 , where in the text field it is written 903 – for connection "Profitable intercity", 9030 – to disable the option.

What is Beeline's home region?

If you permanently live in one of the regions of Russia - for example, in the Moscow region - and bought a SIM card there, MO becomes Beeline’s home region for you. Within this region, according to your tariff, calls and SMS are cheaper than calls outside your home region. At the same time, you can make communication more accessible and profitable for yourself, for example, in which a large package of prepaid call minutes with other cities will be reserved.

Beeline has many offers for its subscribers that will make communication less expensive if you often have to call other regions or travel outside your home region and talk while roaming.

What is Megafon's home region?

Megafon was one of the first to introduce the concept of home region into use. Today, this operator in all regions has uniform rules and tariffs for those who find themselves outside their home region or call a person located in another region. For those who love to travel, or those who often need to travel around the country for business reasons, Megafon offers a number of advantageous options:

What is a home region in Tele2?

If you often travel around the country, activate the service "Zero everywhere", and all conversations, without taking into account the territorial location of your interlocutor, within Russia will cost you 2 rubles per minute.
