Today MTS must upgrade its “-Smart-” and “-Smart- -Unlimited” tariffs. Old versions are archived. No changes yet.
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:
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 .
Subscription fee - 500 rub. per month (decreased by 50 rubles, but in the version of the tariff before last it was 450).
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.

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

When connecting other Internet options or having traffic at the main tariff, the traffic volume of the “Turbo button” option is consumed first (we are talking about “Turbo button 1/2/5/20 GB” and “Maximum speed for 3/6 hours "). Also, when several “Turbo buttons” with monthly traffic are connected simultaneously, the volumes of network access are summed up.
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.
An MTS subscriber, depending on his needs, can activate additional functions to extend Internet traffic to the extent that he needs. 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.
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:
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:
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.
You can find out minutes on the MTS Unlimited tariff in the following ways:
Attention! Using any method is not a paid service, that is, it is provided free of charge.
If the number of minutes ends before the set period, the subscriber has the option of connecting an additional call package. The user can add minutes to MTS Smart Unlimited using the commands *111*2050#, *100*1#.
The following offers are currently available:
The function is also available in your personal account and when calling a cellular company operator by phone.
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?
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!
