The rest of MTS traffic is transferred to the next month. The Big Three operator will launch the transfer of remaining traffic, minutes and SMS in package tariffs. Exchange minutes for Internet traffic

26.04.2022 Medicines 

Today MTS must upgrade its “-Smart-” and “-Smart- -Unlimited” tariffs. Old versions are archived. No changes yet.

"-Smart- -Unlimited"

I never understood the clearly inflated activity around this tariff (which was what it was). It is wretched, expensive and clearly disproportionately cut. And the anlim there is only relative. The subscription fee is too high for schoolchildren. For older people - too few minutes. Internet Unlim is only for smartphones, where in the vast majority of cases it is simply not needed.

However, the new “-Smart- -Unlimited” has also become a deception, because now it does not have Internet unlimited in any form at all: stupidly 10 GB per month. Unlim remains only when calling MTS numbers after the total package of minutes has been exhausted, which we also have on others package rates operator. Figures for Moscow:

  • Subscription fee - 550 rub. per month (now written off in full per month and without discounts)
  • 350 minutes to all Russian networks (was 200 to numbers only in your region and MTS Russia)
  • Unlimited calls to MTS Russia (over the package of minutes)
  • 2 times more minutes when calling from MTS Connect (first the main package from the tariff is consumed, then the additional one, which is provided only through the application)
  • 350- -SMS- -to all numbers in your region
  • 10- - GB of Internet.

The “-Smart--Unlimited” tariff works without roaming throughout Russia, however, if you use it outside your “home” network, you will be charged an additional monthly fee of 15 rubles. per day .

"-Smart"

Subscription fee - 500 rub. per month (decreased by 50 rubles, but in the version of the tariff before last it was 450).

  • 550 minutes to all Russian networks (it was 600, but to numbers only in your region and MTS Russia)
    Unlimited calls to MTS Russia (over the package of minutes)
  • 2 times more minutes when calling from MTS Connect (first the main package from the tariff is consumed, then the additional one, which is provided only through the application)
  • 550- -SMS- -to all numbers in your region
  • 5- - - GB of Internet (in case of connecting/switching to - a new TP "Smart-" from March 27 to August 31, 2017, you will be provided with 5 GB of traffic without a time limit for using the tariff plan. Subscribers who have connected or those who switched to the new “Smart-” t-ariff after 08/31/2017 will be allocated only 3 GB of traffic).

The “-Smart-” tariff works without roaming throughout Russia, but if you use it outside your “home” network, you will be charged an additional monthly fee of 15 rubles. per day .

I was pleased to put the points of the tariff parameters in their places relative to their degree of importance. First minutes, and only then the Internet. No matter how much telecom operators would like to see the world differently, a telephone is, first of all, a voice, and only then additional services such as data transmission, albeit increasingly in demand for a variety of needs.

On September 21, 2018, the MTS operator unexpectedly announced that it had closed the connection to the “My Unlimited” tariff and released a new one called “My Smart” to replace it. Let’s break it down “on the shelves” and decide whether it’s worth connecting it or switching to it for those who use “My Unlimited”.

MTS tariff "My Smart"

Cool!Sucks!

“My Smart” is the same package offer or “constructor” as the closed “My Unlimited”, but with fewer options for choosing the volume of minutes/SMS and traffic and changed, not always in better side, terms of use of packages.

Current version. Rate information updated May 19, 2019.

Pros and cons of the MTS “My Smart” tariff

pros

  • You can “distribute” the Internet from your smartphone!
  • Free calls to MTS subscribers throughout Russia.
  • You can change the package volumes at least daily (but take into account the nuances that I wrote in the information on connecting to the tariff just below).
  • Holders of MTS Smart Money cards receive a 100% discount on the subscription fee if one of the conditions is met: the amount of purchases on the card per month is more than 20,000 ₽ or the balance on the card is more than 70,000 ₽.

Minuses

  • Unlimited MTS calls within Russia are cool, of course, but these calls consume the package of minutes. A little mean.
  • The minutes of calls and SMS included in the package are valid only in your home region; all calls and SMS to other regions, except calls to MTS, are paid!
  • Unused minutes, SMS and traffic are not carried over to the next month.
  • When you connect/switch to a tariff, a “bunch” of additional options are activated, in particular: GoodOk, someone called you! etc. Be sure to disable services you don’t need through your personal account if you don’t want unnecessary “writing off” of money from your account.
  • If you insert a SIM card with the “My Smart” tariff into the modem, Internet access will be blocked.
  • The volume of minutes is equal to the volume of sms. If I call a lot and text a little and want to choose 600 minutes and 100 SMS? There is no such option and I have to pay for services I don’t need.

Eventually

Once again they are trying to force subscribers to pay more for fewer services. Eg:

  • The cheapest package “My Smart” is 200 minutes and SMS and 10 GB. Internet - 500 ₽ per month;
  • The cheapest package “My Unlimited” is 300 minutes and SMS and 4 GB. Internet - 480 ₽ per month;

Everything seems to be correct, they reduced the minutes, added internet and the price is almost the same, but on the “My Unlimited” tariff, 300 minutes are valid for calls throughout Russia, and on the “My Smart” tariff - only on calls at home. Do you feel the difference?

MTS offers a wide selection of tariff plans that include Internet traffic. Among the line of various service packages there are also constructor tariffs.

Also, when several “Turbo buttons” with monthly traffic are connected simultaneously, the volumes of network access are summed up.

How to check the remaining MTS traffic

The rest of the traffic connected under the option can be found out by dialing the combination *100*2# or #100*2# on your phone. The specified key combinations also work to inform the subscriber about the remaining Internet on the tablet or USB modem by going to the dialog box and sending a request.

In addition to the above methods, the user can use MTS technical support services and call toll-free hotline your operator: 8-800-25-00-890.

  • The volume of Internet traffic obtained using these options is valid throughout the country. If the subscriber is abroad, then this traffic will not be consumed, since when roaming abroad, MTS provides its customers with traffic in accordance with the terms of the tariff for international travel;
  • When you connect to “Turbo Night” from 12 am to 7 am, traffic for all other options of the “Turbo Button” line is not wasted;

You can do this yourself without leaving your home. mobile device, and on the computer. When connecting one of the above functions, try to more accurately estimate the amount of traffic you need and the type of option so that you don’t have to spend extra money.

When using cellular communication services, the main thing we pay attention to is control over our own expenses. IN Lately mobile operators are releasing new, so-called unlimited offers. When switching to this tariff, the subscriber chooses a package of services based on his capabilities. The new tariff from MTS called Unlimited is now one of the most popular offers. With all the advantages of the package, a future client of the company must know how to exchange minutes for gigabytes if it is used up prematurely or, conversely, if there is an excess balance of the connected number of services.

Transferring the remaining number of minutes and Internet on the MTS “Unlimited” tariff

The tariff allows the subscriber to independently change settings tariff package. Finding a good deal is not an easy task and can take several months. Therefore, the client needs to be aware of the transfer possibilities tariff services in the process of testing a new proposal. As for the balance of outgoing calls and SMS messages, the user should know how to check the minutes on MTS Unlimited without exceeding the size of the main package.

Here is a specific example of calculation in minutes:

  1. the volume of the connected package is 550 minutes;
  2. from the last billing period the amount on the account is 450 minutes, and they automatically roll over to the next month;
  3. in total the subscriber has 450+550 = 1000 in his account;
  4. this month 1000 minutes are available for use, without distinction between old and new;
  5. this month the subscriber was on vacation and spoke only 100 minutes. with 1000 minutes available, that is, the amount will be 900 minutes;
  6. in the new month only 550 minutes will be available;
  7. in the next month (third) the remaining tariff will be 550 + 550 = 1100 min.

The rest of the Internet traffic is transferred to the next calendar period, but cannot exceed the amount of the main package and does not add up to it. When transferring Internet traffic to the next month, the previous balance is first considered, then the base tariff, after which the auto-renewal option is turned on.

Example:

  1. Internet traffic volume is 5 GB;
  2. the client has 4 GB of Internet traffic from last month, which transferred to the current month;
  3. as a result, the subscriber has 5+4 =9 GB in the current calendar period;
  4. in the current month, 1 GB of Internet was spent, then the old balance is 3 GB, and the current balance is 5 GB;
  5. Only 5 GB will be transferred to the new reporting period, the old balance will be frozen;
  6. From the third month of use, the subscriber will be presented with 5 GB+5 GB packages.

Important! When using the auto-renewal function, tariff balances are not carried over to the next month. When you connect it, your mobile operator will charge you for an additional package of services.

Options for exchanging minutes for gigabytes on the Unlimited tariff

Some mobile operators have an interesting service - how to convert minutes into gigabytes MTS Unlimited. The idea itself looks very interesting. As for the tariff, this option will not work here. This initial tariff offer was conceived by the mobile operator as a constructor for selecting the necessary characteristics, and the number of minutes and Internet traffic can be changed at any time.

Operators mobile communications They develop not only attractive prices for the provision of services. To attract new customers and retain old subscribers, Tele2 has introduced the “Balance Transfer” service. How does it work and who is it available to?

Description of the service "Transfer of balances"

Subscribers who have access to the service can transfer unused minutes, SMS and GB for the current month to the next.

That is, if 300 minutes are available according to the tariff, but only 150 were spent, then they can be transferred to the next month. The package will include new paid 300 minutes, plus unused minutes transferred over the past month.

In the same way, you can transfer SMS messages and Gigabytes of the Internet.

The new package will begin to operate only after the subscriber spends the transferred balances.

It will not be possible to stretch the package over two months. Balances can be transferred only if the subscription fee is charged on time - according to the terms of the tariff. If you did not have enough funds in your account to pay for the package, unused minutes, SMS and GB will simply “burn out”.

Balance transfer does not allow you to save on subscription fees. But, having saved in one month, you can use your phone more flexibly in the next. Spend more time communicating, and don’t overpay beyond the package!

How to activate the "Balance Transfer" service?

  1. Balance transfer is not available for all tariff plans. Only subscribers of the entire range of “Black”, “Online” and “Online Plus” tariffs can take advantage of the offer. If you have a different tariff, then change it to one of these by dialing 630 from your mobile device.

  3. If payment is late, the balance will be lost - this is the main condition for the transferability.
