Starting today, MTS is improving the parameters of its “Benefit calls to the CIS” service, expanding its geography and renaming it "Profitable calls to other countries".

Current prices:

• China - 1.50 rub./min.
• Republic of South Korea - 1.50 rub./min.
• Tcell Tajikistan - 2.50 rub./min.
• Uzbekistan - 3.50 rub./min.
• Kcell Kazakhstan - 3.50 rub./min.
• Vietnam - 5.00 rub./min.

Subscription fee and connection cost - 0 rub.

The option is only valid in home region.

Let me remind you that calls to China also cost 1.5 rubles. MTS has an option "Profitable international calls» (they are not compatible, but don't confuse them!). However, South Korea costs 5 rubles per minute, and many other countries are even more expensive. Plus there is a subscription fee 50 rub./month(the first month's payment is debited when the option is activated).

Restrictions:

• The option is available on the “Smart mini”, “Smart”, “Smart Nonstop”, “Smart Unlimited”, “Smart +”, “Smart Top” tariffs open for connection and transition. When switching to another tariff plan the option is automatically disabled.
• The tariff option is valid only if the service “International access” or “ Easy roaming and international access."
• The option does not work simultaneously with the options “Favorable international calls”, “Favorite country Kazakhstan”, “Favorite country Tajikistan”, “Favorite country Uzbekistan”, “Favorite country China”, “Favorite country South Korea”, “Favorite country Vietnam”, "Favorite country. The whole world".

Total:“Profitable calls to other countries” is a pleasant bonus for many subscribers - both guests of the capital and those who need periodic calls in these directions. After all, China is now one of the strategic business directions, so the news is doubly positive! Fortunately, the option is provided without a monthly subscription fee, so many are recommended to connect even just in case.

Fat minus: limited list affordable tariffs and that's all - with subscription fee.

Mess

Upon connection command *111*965# and the desire to know the conditions of the option (hereinafter referred to as 0), an SMS is received with the cost of China 0.9 rubles, South Korea - 1.5, Vietnam - 4.5.

The option itself in the “Mobile Assistant” is also called “Profitable calls to the CIS”. At the same time, earlier on “Profitable calls to the CIS,” as you already understood, there was no such direction as China at all, because it does not relate to the CIS in any way. Moreover, other countries are also present in the SMS description, for example, Mongolia.

Screenshot of a saved copy of “Profitable calls to the CIS” by MTS from Google, indicating only 3 countries: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan:

We are waiting for improvements. After all, how convenient and pleasant it is when you can make inexpensive calls to a variety of directions from your main number, without resorting to additional SIM cards! However, this was not the case:

The service is not available for connection

When I tried to activate “Benefit calls to other countries” via *111*965# on the “Smart for Friends” tariff, I received a response SMS: ““Benefit calls to the CIS” are not provided on your tariff.” Why on earth, since this is also Smart (see tariff restrictions above), is it simply non-public? Unclear. But paid option“Profitable international calls” are, of course, available for connection.

MTS tariffs without a monthly fee allow you not to pay for communication services that are useless for the subscriber. You will only pay for the services you use. The MTS company provides subscribers with several similar tariffs, and as part of this review we will look at them all in detail.

Review of MTS tariffs without subscription fee

Now operators are doing their best to promote tariffs with a subscription fee, because they are more profitable for them. Think about it, you pay a monthly fee for certain services connections that in fact may not be used in full, but the payment will not decrease because of this. How often do you run out of minutes, SMS or internet data? Most subscribers do not use their packages in full.

However, this does not mean that tariff plans without a monthly fee are superior to tariffs in every way Smart line and will be more profitable. In this case, everything depends on specific circumstances, or rather on what specific communication services you use and how often.

The best MTS tariffs without a subscription fee

Most subscribers do not want to waste time studying the conditions for tariffs and want to immediately find out which tariff without a subscription fee is the best. Unfortunately, no one will give you the answer to this question. Think for yourself how you can determine the only best rate, when each subscriber puts forward his own requirements for the tariff. To choose a favorable tariff, you need to study all current offers and, based on the information received, choose the best option.

We have listed all MTS tariffs without a subscription fee, although a caveat should be made here. In some regions, other tariff plans are still in effect, but they are not popular and will soon become archived, and therefore we did not pay special attention to them. If you have anything to add to the article, be sure to leave a comment!

Most users cellular communications make a significant number of calls every day. And, naturally, everyone wants to minimize their communication costs. Call more and pay less. Therefore, subscribers are very careful when choosing the most convenient tariff plan for themselves. But, as a rule, even the most optimal tariff cannot fully meet the client’s needs. In order to reduce the costs of their subscribers, cellular operators offer all kinds of additional services. The “Profitable calls” option from MTS is one of them.

To save money, many of us do not call subscribers of other mobile operators as part of our tariff, but use several SIM cards at once. However, carrying several in your pocket or bag mobile devices or rearranging SIM cards in one, you see, is not very convenient. You can, of course, buy a phone with two cards, but there are more cellular companies in Russia. The “Profitable Calls” service will solve this problem.

This option allows owners of the “Super MTS” and “Super MTS Region” tariff plans to call landline numbers and subscribers of other operators at preferential rates in their area. The cost of a minute of conversation when connecting the option is 0.75 rubles.

Please note that the option is initially included in starter pack and is valid for the first 30 days free of charge. After the grace period expires, the service is automatically disabled. If the subscriber wants to continue to use it, he must connect it himself. Payment for the service will be 3.5 rubles/day. The same conditions apply when switching to the Super MTS tariff plan. For more detailed information, you can contact the informant by calling 0890.

How to enable or disable the “Profitable calls” option

You can activate the service:

• by dialing the combination *111*857# and call button
• by sending an SMS to number 111, putting 857 in the text field

Disabling the service is also easy:

• at help SMS to number 111, in the text field type 8570
• by dialing *111*857# (you need to select the appropriate item in the voice menu)
• through .

If you have previously subscribed to other options to reduce the cost of calls, their operation will be suspended. At the same time, services such as “Call for free to MTS” or “” are priority. In the latter case, charging is carried out according to their conditions until the end of the package minutes. And only then the “Profitable calls” option will begin to work.

After reading this article to the end, you will find out what is the most favorable MTS tariff for calls within Russia today.

Not so long ago, intriguing and extremely unexpected news came from the pages of news agencies to the general public. Since December 2017, the cost of communication services in ten federal subjects, such as the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, Perm, Tyumen, Kurgan regions and a number of others, were significantly reduced. At the same time, the amount of provided Internet traffic and voice communication minutes has increased, no less than twice.

Analysts in the field of communications market are concerned about the dissonance that MTS has sowed in the communications services market. The commercial director of Megafon indicated that his company is determined to fight back against MTS, and, if necessary, Megafon is ready to reduce prices and improve the quality of services provided to a level higher than what MTS stated. A significant reduction in prices means a new round of aggressive competition mobile operators.

In light of these events, we will figure out why MTS attracts customers and find the most favorable tariff offered by this operator.

MTS has a range of tariffs that can satisfy the needs of any client, at least that’s what ambitious management says. Indeed, due to the impressive variety of offers, a person has to think for a long time about what to give preference to, because some of the conditions of the tariffs raise questions. Of course, every telecom service provider focuses on provisions that will be welcomed by the clientele, at the same time, they are unlikely to explain to you about the shortcomings of the tariffs. We will try to be impartial.

On this moment MTS operator has two main types of tariff plans for individuals:

1. With subscription fee. In this case, for a certain amount, the client receives a given amount of Internet traffic, minutes and SMS messages for one month.
2. No monthly fee. In other words, a prepaid system for providing communication services. The client deposits any amount of money into his phone account number. The operator charges only for those services and to the extent that the client has used.

MTS tariffs with subscription fee

In order not to constantly worry about how much money is in your phone account, there are tariff systems with monthly or daily subscription fees for communication services.

This means that you pay at a given time and are guaranteed to insure yourself against the option when the money on your balance runs out at the most necessary moment. Of course, there is more than one such tariff. There is an extensive network of MTS offers for each person, depending on the needs for communication services and mobile internet, and financial opportunities.

It is worth noting here that despite the fact that it is customary for us to scold business, tariffs for mobile communications Russia has some of the lowest rates in the world, at the same time, the quality of services is much higher than the world average, including in developed American cities. You can see this for yourself by surfing the Internet on the price lists of European and American operators.

The first of his name, so to speak. New market vision cellular services from MTS. Today, the conditions have radically changed, but the only thing remains unchanged - the Smart tariff remains the backbone of the line of tariff plans from MTS.

Terms of customer service:

• 4 gigabytes of mobile Internet (3 gigabytes for the Moscow region and the Moscow region);
• up to 500 minutes to network numbers of any mobile operators in your home region;
• up to 500 SMS messages to network numbers of any mobile operators in your home region.

The cost of services in this area is 300 rubles per month for regions of Russia and 450 for the city of Moscow, the Moscow region and a number of constituent entities. Quite a small amount of money for such a volume of services provided.

However, when switching to this tariff, please note that a SIM card with a Smart tariff connected to it cannot be used in a modem. In addition, when the Internet data limit is exhausted, the user will be automatically connected additional packages 500 megabytes of Internet for 75 rubles each. Service by automatic connection Internet packages can be disabled by contacting customer support.

Next in line is Smart Unlimited

At all new tariff Smart line from MTS. Despite the short time on the market, the terms of the plan found popularity among the population. In fact, the conditions have no analogues among other operators.

Terms of customer service:

• 10 gigabytes of Internet;
• unlimited calls to numbers internal network MTS throughout the territory Russian Federation;
• up to 200 minutes to network numbers of any mobile operators in your home region;
• up to 200 SMS messages to network numbers of any mobile operators in your home region.

An impressive set of attractive tariff conditions will cost a mere 387 rubles (prices are indicated for the Moscow region and the Moscow region). This amount will be debited at a time for the first thirty days of using the operator’s services according to the tariff. Then, from the next month, the subscription fee will be 12.90 rubles for every day.

Switching to a tariff plan is completely free.

There are pitfalls in this idyll. Having carefully read the contract for the provision of communication services, the client may notice a clause according to which the operator has the right to limit the speed of Internet traffic in the event of peak loads on the network. Therefore, be prepared for pages to take longer to load from time to time, such as in the evenings.

The most humble and most cheap tariff Smart line. Anyone can afford such an offer. Let's dwell on the conditions:

• 2 gigabytes of mobile Internet;
• unlimited calls to MTS internal network numbers throughout our country;
• up to 200 minutes (250 minutes for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region) to network numbers of any cellular operators in the home region;
• up to 200 SMS messages (250 SMS messages for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region) to network numbers of any cellular operators in your home region.

We come to the main and obvious advantage of this tariff plan, its subscription fee. In the regions of Russia it will be only 200 rubles, and for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region the price will increase to 300 rubles.

The first one allows you to use unlimited internet at night and ten gigabytes during the day. 400 minutes and SMS messages will allow you to comfortably communicate with friends and family without limiting yourself. For these services, the operator will charge the client 500 rubles per month.

The second tariff, the most premium one offered by MTS. The Top tariff plan is suitable for citizens who, not only do not let go of the phone, for those who speak without interruption. 2000 minutes and SMS messages will allow you to communicate around the clock, seven days a week without hesitation. However, this pleasure will cost accordingly; the monthly subscription fee will be 1,500 rubles.

Let's summarize the results in a summary table:

Rate	Number of voice minutes	Number of SMS messages	Internet traffic	Subscription fee
SMART	500	500	4 GB	300 rubles
UNLIMITED	200	200	10 GB	from 400 rubles
MINI	200	200	2 GB	200 rubles
NON-STOP	400	400	10 GB, nightly unlimited	500 rubles
TOP	2000	2000	10 GB	1500 rubles

On the other side of the new ones package tariffs There are offers with a prepaid system with per-second or per-minute charging for outgoing communications. Ten years ago, these tariffs ruled the market, however, now with the advent of smartphone technology and high-speed public Internet, these tariffs have faded into the background. Still, not everyone has cutting-edge smartphones, and there are still plenty of conservative-minded citizens who do not want to change their usual communication conditions.

The first tariff that we will analyze will be a plan with the self-explanatory name Per Second.

• no subscription fee;
• paid Internet communication data 9.90 rubles per 1 megabyte;
• SMS cost:
  • free to MTS subscriber numbers;
  • to phones of users of other operators 1.75 rubles.

  • free incoming calls;
  • calls to MTS numbers and numbers of subscribers of other companies, landline phones 0.05 rubles per second of conversation in the home region;
  • calls to MTS numbers 3 rubles per minute, to users of subscribers of other operators, landline phones 12 rubles to other regions of the Russian Federation

The Super MTS tariff is the second of the most successful tariffs among the population of the MTS company without a subscription fee. The main bonus of this offer will be the possibility of free calls from the first minute of conversation.

The tariff is quite simple in terms of conditions, like the above Per Second.

• no subscription fee;
• free Internet according to the Mini BIT and Super BIT program;
• paid Internet traffic 9.90 rubles per 1 megabyte;
• SMS cost:
  • free to MTS user numbers;
  • to subscriber numbers of other operators 1.75 rubles.

  • calls to MTS users 3 rubles and to customers of other operators, landline phones - 12 rubles per minute to other regions of the Russian Federation.

Which tariff plan is preferable?

Having considered the conditions of the described tariffs, the reader will ask the question: “Which MTS tariff best matches the price-quality ratio?”

This question is difficult to answer unambiguously.

Companies providing communication services, including MTS, create offers of a plan that would not overlap each other with more favorable conditions, thereby closing all segments of the communication market. To say the same thing simply - the company has no profitable or favorable tariffs. For each client there is a tariff that will surely satisfy his communication needs.

Choose and write all the pros and cons in the comments!

The problem of high expenses is solved with the help additional service“Profitable international calls”, connected to the basic tariff.
