How to disable the Smart mini tariff

The Smart mini tariff is good in many respects, especially for its price, but too small packages are often not enough and in order to avoid additional costs, you have to change the tariff. There are a lot of options for switching, for example, to increase the size of packages you can switch to the tariff

MTS has updated its line of Smart series tariffs for the hundred and first time. And immediately, for the two hundred and first time, a collusion between the operators is visible: if in December, comparing the new tariffs, “That’s it!” from Beeline, I praised the tariff MTS Smart mini, which looked much better than “All for 200”, now they are almost equal.

The MTS operator once again hung a portion of noodles on our ears. Under the typical heading of this office “Smart tariffs for smartphones are becoming even more profitable!” multiple deteriorations are visible. Either a tasty piece was cut off, or for an increased subscription fee they were given something that is in little demand: extra minutes and SMS packages. And although logic dictates that on smartphones with the Internet always on, the whole world has long switched to WhatsApp, and SMS messages are becoming history, MTS, on the junior Smart mini tariff, managed to cut the Internet traffic package by 2 times, giving instead 50 SMS per month .

Smart Mini

Subscription fee - 200 rub. per month (not changed).

They cut it off. The included volume of Internet traffic has been reduced to 0.5 GB (from 1 GB). Made 1000 minutes on MTS Russia (instead of unlimited).

They stuck it on. Package of 50 SMS per month.

Smart

Subscription fee - 450 rub. per month (previously - 400 rubles).

They cut it off. Nothing was cut off.

They stuck it on. The package now amounts to 500 minutes (from 400). Done free calls on MTS Russia in addition to the package. Added 500 SMS. The option Everywhere at home Smart has become included in the basic tariff package (that is, packages are consumed throughout Russia).

Smart+

Subscription fee - 900 rub. (hasn't changed).

They cut it off. Nothing was cut off.

They stuck it on. The package now amounts to 1100 minutes (previously 1000). We made calls to MTS Russia free beyond the package. Added 1100 SMS. The option Everywhere at home Smart has become included in the basic tariff package (that is, packages are consumed throughout Russia).

Smart Top

Subscription fee - 1500 rub. (hasn't changed).

They cut it off. Nothing was cut off.

They stuck it on. We made calls to MTS Russia free beyond the package. We reduced the cost of calls and SMS above the package (calls to MTS are free, to other networks in the home region - 1.5 rubles/minute; intercity to all networks except MTS - 3 rubles/minute; SMS to all mobile numbers your region - 0.5 rubles).

The transition to all “smart” devices is free.

Our IMHO

To say that the MTS Smart series tariffs are more interesting than the previous ones, starting, for example, from a slight increase in minutes in packages or supplementing them with SMS messages is called deceiving each other. Everywhere at home Smart, added to the initial package of a number of them, is also not needed by everyone, and trips to the regions are usually made only periodically.

The number of minutes per user (MoU coefficient) for MTS is on average small. It follows from this that the majority of the operator’s subscribers simply will not spend these minutes and text messages, but will still be forced to pay monthly as part of the subscription fee.

At the same time, the remains of unused packages (services, minutes, traffic - whatever you like) are burned and next month are not tolerated. And unlimited on MTS (except for the Smart Mini tariff plan), let me remind you, begins to operate only after the total package of voice calls has been used up, which is spent on all networks, incl. and MTS of the “home” region.

In general, stone upon stone, rake upon rake. Your MTS.

Addition

A serious scam has been discovered in the new Smart tariffs: just like on Beeline, it now works here automatic connection new Internet packages if the original ones are exhausted. By default, you will be charged 30 rubles. for 300 MB. Those who are inattentive end up with money. Those who are attentive - disable this option with the combination *111*936# [call]. And, by the way, to make it really “fun” for you, bonus traffic packages do not work on smart phones; pay for auto-renewal or “Turbo buttons”.

Smart Mini is the most optimal tariff from Smart line. A moderate subscription fee and unlimited communication with MTS users are not all the advantages of this package. As part of this review, all the features of the tariff will be considered: the cost of calls and SMS messages, the pros and cons of this offer.

• Free connection package of services;
• Low cost of the options provided;

1. System request - dial *111*1023# and press the call button;
2. Call the operator - call 0890 and clarify the steps to switch to the tariff;
3. Changes in the “personal account” - go to your personal page on the MTS website and switch to the desired tariff.

If the above methods seem complicated, you can contact the MTS service center for help. The company's employees will help you activate the package and also advise you on the tariff conditions applicable to the package.

How to find out the remaining traffic

In order to constantly be in touch and not go beyond the limits of your tariff plan (which will lead to spending extra money), you need to keep under control the amount of traffic used, minutes sold, the number of SMS and megabytes received. The fact is that unlimited calls within MTS are provided after the allocated preferential minutes have been exhausted (250), and until this moment even communication within the network counts towards the preferential minutes. Therefore, checking the spent conversation minutes (including within the network) is very important.

If the Smart Mini MTS limit is exhausted, then the tariffs in Moscow become completely different, and the new prices can very unpleasantly surprise the user.

It is also important to evaluate Internet traffic, since after using the tariff megabytes, the “500 MB for 75 rubles” service comes into force. It is activated up to 15 times a month, which ultimately results in a fairly significant amount of payment. It’s easy to refuse the service of accruing “prize” megabytes - just send a message *111*936# and press “call”.

To check the spent or remaining minutes, megabytes of traffic or the number of SMS, you can use various methods: calling the consultation center, sending SMS, logging into your personal account or USSD request. Last option is the simplest, fastest and most popular.

1. To find out the remaining megabytes according to the tariff, you need to enter the combination: *111*217# and press call. Information about the traffic available on this device until the end of the month will be sent to your phone.
2. Send an SMS to number 5340 with the text "?". In response, you will receive a message with information about traffic.
3. Personal Area gives more full information. In it you can not only determine the balance for MTS Smart Mini tariffs, but also control what the data was spent on. All you need to do is log in to your account on the mts.ru page and view the “Account Status” section. In the "Package Remaining" item there is information about available minutes, megabytes and the number of SMS.
4. Also this information is always available to the operator and can be found out by calling customer support.

If you regularly lack traffic, you should consider either changing your course of action or changing your tariff plan.
