“Smart for your own”: Moscow and region

Tariff parameters using the example of Moscow and the region:

Modern mobile devices are used not only for their intended purpose, that is, to make calls. Smartphones give users many more features that require Internet access. Therefore the operators mobile communications They are developing new tariff lines that can satisfy all needs. Clients are actively using the new opportunities for both work and entertainment. There are programs that can work correctly only if they are regularly synchronized with remote servers, which is only possible via WI-FI or mobile Internet.

The MTS operator has a large number of tariff plans with Internet access in the smart line, but it can be quite difficult for the user to understand them. However, the majority notes that the most favorable conditions are offered by the “Smart for Our Own” tariff, which is not known to all subscribers. Only those who are employees of the MTS company and their immediate circle can connect this advantageous offer to their number.

This offer is not intended for large-scale use; the package is simply not available for free sale, and there is no opportunity for an ordinary subscriber to switch to it. But anyone who works for MTS can not only connect to this tariff themselves, but also receive 10 digital sets for the transition. He can transfer the received codes to any MTS subscriber.

Under the terms of the special offer, the user is asked to pay an amount of 200 rubles every thirty days. Using these funds, he receives a limit on the use of mobile communications.

Package content:

• 10 hours for conversations with any mobile communication operators in Russia;
• 10 GB for access to the World Wide Web;
• 600 SMS to be sent to any number of a Russian operator;
• unlimited online conversations after the minutes expire.

After the provided minutes have expired, calls outside the MTS network will be charged. Their cost will differ depending on the region where the subscriber lives. For the capital and region, the cost will be 2 rubles per sixty seconds, for calls to other cities – 3 rubles. Roaming does not provide a special tariff.

How to become a tariff user?

Of course, the prices are quite favorable, and many ordinary subscribers are interested in the MTS smart offer for their own, especially how to connect. It has already been mentioned that only those who work for the company can take advantage of this offer mobile operator. Ordinary subscribers should not be offended by this, because any organization tries to create the most convenient conditions for its employees, based on their capabilities.

Each MTS employee receives 10 codes to connect to the tariff plan. To activate it, you need to use the combination * 362 * below are the figures provided by management# . It is also possible to call 3620 and authorize in conversation mode. It is worth noting that activation tariff plan will be carried out successfully only if the connected subscriber is an individual and has an amount of 200 rubles or more in his account. After activating the tariff plan, the subscriber immediately receives 10 hours for outgoing calls to any Russian number, 600 messages and 10 GB for wandering around the expanses world wide web on your gadget. These limits have been introduced since the beginning of this year; previously, users were provided with 500 minutes and SMS, respectively, as well as 5 GB.

Such a volume of minutes, messages and traffic for using the Internet for only 200 rubles is more than an excellent offer. Of course, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the number of people willing to be served at such interesting and cheap prices is growing. For those users who do not work in an organization called MTS and do not have relatives or friends there, this is almost impossible. The only way out is to buy the code from a private person for a lot of money.

To be fair, it is worth noting that almost every client connected to the “Smart for People” offer notes some inconveniences. The first and most important are on-net calls, limited to a limit of 10 hours per month. Of course, then unlimited network access is activated, but by that time the minutes for calls with subscribers of another operator must be used up. The second drawback is paid long-distance calls, which cannot be made against the accrued 600 minutes. However, these disadvantages cannot be considered significant, taking into account the obvious benefits of the package. In addition, while staying in any city, a “Smart for Friends” subscriber will use the prices of his home region.

Good news.
Starting from November 6, 2018, MTS is giving all new subscribers of the “Smart For Our Own” tariff unlimited Internet. The “Lots of Internet” service is automatically activated with a subscription fee of zero rubles. Old subscribers of the VTS tariff are still waiting.

Article updated February 11, 2018.
MTS still decided to please us. The promotion with the VTS tariff continues.
All those who did not manage to switch to the cool Smart For Ours tariff this year, you still have a chance.

In this article I would like to highlight the opportunity to save on cellular communication costs using non-public tariffs.
Various cellular operators have such tariffs, today we are talking about MTS.
At the moment, MTS provides three great tariffs to save us.

1. SMART FOR YOURSELF.
2. SUPER MTS FOR YOUR OWN.
3. ULTRA FOR YOURSELF, 50% discount on the subscription fee of the “Ultra” tariff.

The leader of MTS secret tariffs for 2016 is, of course, the tariff "SMART FOR YOUR OWN"
An excellent tariff for everyone who wants to actively use communications and pay almost nothing for it.

The tariff is available for connection and transition for almost all regions Russian Federation. (except Crimea and Sevastopol)
The tariff includes:
600 minutes to numbers in your home region, while at home and while traveling within the Russian Federation (above the package - free on MTS)
600 SMS to mobile phones in your home region
10 GB of Internet in the Russian Federation
Free service “They called you”
Free service "VSet"
Incoming calls when traveling within the Russian Federation - 0 rub.
Subscription fee per month is only 200 rubles

Good news.
Starting from September 20, 2017, MTS took a drastic step - the “VNet” option became free on this tariff.

The option allows you not to spend Internet traffic in the following networks and instant messengers:

In contact with
Classmates
Facebook
Instagram
Twitter
OK Live
ThereThere

FB Messenger
Skype
whatsapp
Viber
Snapchat
Twitch
MTS Connect

There are minor nuances, you can read about them on the MTS website.
Connect:

• USSD command *345#(call)
• Personal account on the MTS website
• Use the “My MTS” mobile application

The mobile account screen more clearly demonstrates the power of the tariff.

Comparing the benefits of using this tariff is quite simple.
We open the MTS website of our region and look at the price of regular tariffs, for example SMART and the number of minutes.
The figure at the beginning of the article compares the tariffs of SDS and regular SMART for the Moscow region for 550R

The second luxurious tariff is the “ULTRA FOR YOUR OWN” tariff
The savings on it are so striking that you can’t even believe it.
Everything is clearly visible in the first picture. (Remember that we look at the exact number of minutes on the MTS website of our region)

Pros of secret tariffs

• Reducing the cost of cellular communications.
• No scans of documents are required to connect.
• Everything is official, the tariff is set on an ongoing basis.
• The transition to the tariff occurs in 2-3 minutes.
• 50% discount on payments on the Ultra tariff, for people who often use mobile communications - a huge saving.
• Incredibly, there are sometimes free migration options for ported numbers, but there aren't any at the moment

Cons: how could we live without them?

• It is impossible to connect to secret tariffs in the MTS salon.
• A code is required to receive this rate.

How does the tariff change occur?
The tariff is changed by entering a special code.
The code for changing the tariff is a combination of numbers like this:
00000000*12345
The code is sent by you via USSD or SMS to number 3620 and in a couple of minutes, voila you have a secret MTS tariff.

And now the most important thing.
Where can I get that same code to start saving and paying less for cellular communications?
The answer is simple - you can buy the code.
As I already wrote in the FAQ, at the moment the price of the code on Avito reaches 1700 RUR. (price range 1300-2000 rubles)
In addition, you have to waste time on Avito and go to who knows where and for what, no one in their right mind would pay money in advance to an unknown person.
I would like to buy a code online and change the tariff in 2-3 minutes.

News from February 2019.
Starting from February 2019, the codes have become much more expensive - the price has gone up to around 2,000 rubles and the feasibility of buying it for that kind of money is already in question.

Smart for people in Kamchatka, Chukotka and Magadan

The same restrictions have been introduced for these regions as for Norilsk. The only exception is the VSet service, which is free. Connecting to the “Smart for Friends” tariff in these regions is currently prohibited.

Smart for people in Crimea

The “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan is not available for SIM cards of the Republic of Crimea. Subscribers with the “Smart for Friends” tariff from other regions can come to Crimea with their SIM card and be served in the same way as in other regions of Russia, without roaming.

How to connect Smart for your

The “Smart for Friends” tariff is intended for relatives and friends of MTS employees. However, some employees sell their codes online. Of course, MTS has a negative attitude towards this. But it is impossible to separate those who bought the code from those who received it as a gift. Therefore, if you buy and activate the code, you will be able to use the tariff for an unlimited time, and it will never go off.

You can connect “Smart for yours”.

Please note: If you change your “Smart for Friends” to any other tariff, you will not be able to reconnect it even for money. The “Smart for Friends” tariff can be activated only once on one number.

Using a special certificate (code)

This is the most common and fastest way. Purchase a special promo code for the “Smart for Your Own” tariff from store employees and follow their instructions. The code must be sent to the short number 3620 and wait for a response message about changing the tariff plan. If you use the My MTS application, the tariff information in it may be updated with a delay of 5-30 minutes after activating the code.

According to the employee

Any employee of MTS PJSC can write and send a special application, according to which, within 5 working days, they will connect the “Smart for Our Own” tariff to the specified number. Such a connection can only be made to a number that was transferred to the MTS network from another telecom operator using the MNP service.

The MTS security service closely monitors that employees do not write such statements for money. Finding an employee who would connect you in this way is now almost impossible.

Free connection “Smart for your own”

From the end of 2016 to October 27, 2017, MTS carried out a promotion for free connection to the “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan. Unfortunately, this action is closed and, according to some signs, they are not going to resume it.

How to avoid being scammed when connecting

When purchasing a “Smart for Friends” tariff code, you should be careful! Don't forget that in addition to real big sellers, there are also scammers. Below are a few simple rules that will keep you as safe as possible when purchasing a code:

• Do not buy codes through social networks, even if the seller’s page looks complete, was created a long time ago and has a lot of reviews. Fraudsters hack popular pages on social networks and “sell” codes through them until the real owner of the page discovers this and restores access.
• Do not buy codes on Avito. The situation is exactly the same as with social networks. Even if the seller is “pumped up”, this does not mean that he is real.
• Do not buy “Smart for yours” on one-page websites. Fraudsters create such sites en masse, it’s not difficult. Next, they post advertisements in search engines and deceive buyers until such a site is blocked. And immediately after blocking one site, they create another and continue.
• Do not buy codes on unfamiliar forums. Topics about sales and reviews often cheat and deceive gullible buyers.

You can always use the “Smart for Your Own” tariff plan. They have been operating for several years and have a good reputation.

Can they disable Smart for Friends?

There have been no such cases during the entire existence of the “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan, since 2014. However, do not forget that if you turn off your “Smart for Friends” yourself, you will no longer be able to connect it back.

Re-connection “Smart for your own”

Re-activating the “Smart for Friends” tariff is impossible for most subscribers. The only way is to transfer the number to the network of another mobile operator, wait 2 months, transfer the number back to MTS and connect according to the application. But since now employees do not write such statements for money, you will definitely need a familiar MTS employee. Please note that employees of MTS communication stores are not in fact MTS employees; they are registered with another company - Russian Telephone Company (RTK).
