Internet access services can be used even while roaming. But if in intranet roaming prices are quite low V international roaming they bite, to put it mildly.

• Tariffing of the Internet in international roaming;
• Setting up the Internet in roaming.

All this information will help us find out what awaits us when traveling around Russia and the world.

How to set up Internet in MTS roaming

First, let's talk about the settings, since you don't need to configure anything here. If you have already used mobile internet V home network, this means that it will also work in intranet roaming. But if you plan to go abroad, you need to activate the services “International and national roaming” and “International access”. Otherwise, Internet access will not be possible..

To activate the services described above, you should use your “Personal Account” or send the USSD command *111*2192#. The connection can also be made at the nearest MTS subscriber service office - do not forget to take your passport with you.

How much does MTS Internet cost in roaming?

Let's now look at the tariffs for Internet access in intranet roaming when traveling around Russia. Almost all tariff plans without a subscription fee will have per-megabyte pricing - the cost of 1 MB of received/sent data will be 9.90 rubles. It is quite expensive, but we can optimize costs with the help of additional options.

In addition, to optimize the cost of Internet access in domestic Russian roaming, we can switch to one of the “Smart” line tariffs - Some of them provide Internet access at home network prices. As for traveling around the world, the cost of Internet access (in almost all countries) is 30 rubles/40 KB. Yes, the prices are very high, but sometimes mobile networks remain the only gateway to access the network. But we can optimize prices using the options “BIT abroad”, “ Maxi BIT Abroad", " Super BIT Abroad".

The validity period of the provided packages is one day (from 00-00 to 00-00, Moscow time). Options are valid only in international roaming. The rest of the traffic is checked using the USSD command *111*217#.

MTS Internet tariffs for roaming

In international roaming, the options used are important - without them, Internet access tariffs will be the same (and very expensive) on almost all tariff plans. If you are traveling around Russia, we recommend that you use the following tariffs:

• “Smart” - 3 GB of traffic is provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*1024#, the subscription fee is 550 rubles/month;
• “Smart+” - 10 GB of traffic are provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*1025#, the subscription fee is 900 rubles/month;

By the way, these same tariffs provide substantial packages of SMS and minutes, which can also be spent in domestic Russian roaming.

Don't want to change tariff plan, but want to get inexpensive Internet access when traveling around Russia? Then use additional options:

• “Internet Mini” - 7 GB for 500 rubles/month. Additional payment for using traffic outside home region is 50 rubles/day. To connect the option, dial the USSD command *160#;
• “Internet Mini” - 15 GB during the day and unlimited at night for 800 rubles/month (the night window is valid from 01-00 to 07-00). The additional payment for using traffic outside the home region is 50 rubles/day. To connect the option, dial the USSD command *161#;

Using these options, you can optimize the cost of network access during intranet roaming.

Pay attention to the newest tariff plan “Smart Zabugorishche”. The traffic provided within its framework, which is 7 GB per week, is available both throughout Russia and abroad. Subscription fee is only 250 rubles/week.

Today it is almost impossible to imagine even one day without the Internet. Accordingly, mobile operators are aware of this and are constantly trying to please their subscribers with new services, promotions and offers regarding profitable use of the Internet. But, as you know, when a user leaves his own region, he has to pay more for the Internet, not to mention when traveling abroad.

Setting up Internet from MTS in roaming

First, you need to understand that for the full and normal functioning of the Internet and the network in general, it is necessary to order special additional services and tariffs. Otherwise, it works very slowly or is completely disabled. First of all, you can check whether a specific number has connections such as “International national roaming" or " International access" To do this, just dial a simple combination * 152 * 1 # on your mobile phone or go to your personal account, which is located on the official MTS website. You will also need to go to the “Service Management” section and look at the tariffs and all connected offers. If the above connections are missing, then you can easily connect them there, moreover, absolutely free.

If we talk directly about the settings of the Internet itself, then in this case no special actions are required. This only happens when the login has already occurred through the home network. If you have never accessed the Internet from a particular phone before, and all the necessary settings have not been sent, as usual, this happens, then this must be done manually.

How much does Internet cost within roaming from MTS?

It is clear that using the Internet while roaming is much more expensive compared to connecting within your home network. But if you connect to favorable special tariffs, then these amounts are significantly reduced. If we consider in more detail, the cost of international roaming in Russia is 9.90 rubles per 1 MB. As for more accurate and specific amounts in this case, it is very difficult to name them, because it directly depends on the country in which the subscriber is located. For example, if you are in countries such as China, Spain, the USA, France and England, then the cost of roaming will cost 30 rubles per 40 kb of traffic used. In order to see the full list of countries and prices accordingly, just go to the official MTS website in a special section.

Of course, 30 rubles for 40 kb is too expensive and not everyone can use such Internet. But this mobile operator took care of its subscribers and provided several convenient offers that greatly simplify the use of the Internet and, accordingly, payments for it. In addition, there are special tariffs that are created exclusively for active Internet users around the world.

Is it possible to make it cheaper and how?

There is a whole line for this special options called “BIT Abroad”, which includes such profitable offers as “Super BIT”, “BIT Abroad” and “Maxi BIT Abroad”. Within their framework, you can use them perfectly high-speed Internet and do not check your main account every time after using it. If the subscriber is more interested in national roaming, then any offer from the “Smart” line is perfect for this. By the way, these options also include free minutes and messages.

For those who plan to be outside the home network for just a few days, it will be unnecessary to order the above services; in this case, the “Internet for a day” service is ideal. Within its framework, the subscriber is provided with 500 MB per day for only 50 rubles. You can order this service using the special combination * 111 * 67 #. Actually, each subscriber will determine for himself the most convenient tariff, of which there are plenty today and there is plenty to choose from.

If you travel within the territory of your country, then MTS provides access to its own networks in other regions of the Russian Federation - this is intranet roaming. Using networks abroad is international roaming.

The cost of the “Everywhere at home” option is 7 rubles per day, activated for 30 rubles and allows you to make calls to any numbers throughout the country for up to 3 rubles per 1 minute.

Attention! These options do not affect the cost of Internet connections.

There are tariffs that allow you to use your Internet limits in intranet roaming from MTS - these are some tariffs of the Smart group. But the junior tariff of the “Mini” group will not allow this, and almost all others require additional payment for on-network roaming.

Important! The volumes of minutes and traffic packages included in the tariffs remain the same, but additional charges are charged for “using packages while roaming”, which makes using the Internet while traveling much more expensive.

Access Settings

Using the tariff settings and settings of your device, you can significantly save costs by limiting the Internet in international roaming. To activate the “Banning Internet access on MTS in international roaming” service, dial the command *111*496#.

Denying access to mobile transmission data is made in the device menu; the corresponding settings prohibit connecting to the Internet.

• *111*217# - the amount of remaining traffic, for those who use tariffs and .
• *100*1# — balances of package services - SMS, traffic and minutes included in the tariff.

As a result, we see that communication can be used economically only by connecting additional options and services or using the top tariffs of the Smart group.
