Now, when connecting or switching to “Smart”, subscribers have the opportunity to SAVE their unused minutes/sms/Internet traffic and use them next month.
The tariff is valid throughout Russia under the same conditions as at home.
Implementation of packages of minutes andsms:
Example of transferring minutes/sms:
1.1. size of the package of minutes included in the UP tariff – 350 minutes
1.5. by the end of the current month, the subscriber had spent only 2 GB, i.e. the remainder of the old Internet package is 7 GB and the current Internet package is 10 GB
1.6. The 10 GB remaining from the current Internet package will be transferred to the new month. Old 7 GB will not be transferred
1.7. those. in the next (third) month the subscriber will have 10 GB and 10 GB packages
Important! Auto-renewal packages DO NOT transfer to next month.

The new version of the tariff has been completely redesigned and, in fact, is a worse version of Smart Nonstop. Which is also closed for connections and sent to the archive. Instead of unlimited Internet, they give a 10 GB traffic package and introduce the transfer of unused packages to the next month.
“Unlimited” was going to be slammed on the first of March, so nothing unexpected happened to you and me. Why was it postponed? It’s hard to say, but now it doesn’t matter, the job is done. Intrigued by the name. In fact, there is nothing unlimited left in the tariff, and the name is now misleading. Apparently, “Bezlimitishte” has become such a well-promoted brand that they risked leaving the name. How will they justify themselves if there are people who want to find fault? And there will be those who want it; OPI (“Public Consumer Initiative”) carefully monitors the wording. Perhaps MTS considered it legitimate to preserve the name by transferring the remaining packages to the next month.
Thus, the only public tariffs available for connection with Internet unlimited in MTS are Smart +, Smart Top and Transformishche. But “Transformishte” is a special case, it is only for new connections and is not sold in showrooms, only through ordering in the online store.
As I already wrote, there is no point in comparing the new tariff with the previous “Unlimited”, this is an animal of a completely different breed. Much more similar to the archived Smart Nonstop. Main parameters of the new “Unlimited”:
The tariff does not look too attractive, but do not forget about transferring packages to the next month. This is an important plus and noticeable savings with uneven consumption. We should probably say thank you to Tele2 for returning this long-abandoned scheme.
The contents of the packages are transferred only for one (next) month; you will not be able to save “products” for three or more months. The maximum that will be transferred is the full volume of one “grocery set”. But it's still a saving. Especially for those who consume minutes unevenly and periodically jump out of the package.
It would be surprising if MTS simply copied the Tele2 scheme, in which the minutes, SMS and traffic transferred from the previous month are consumed first. As far as I understand, the transferred minutes and SMS in the MTS tariff are really spent first or are simply added up with new packages. But in the scheme with the transfer of Internet traffic, MTS discovered a “little trick”. The transferred traffic is not consumed first, but only after the current package is completely used up. For example, if in March you have 4 GB of unused traffic left, then they will be transferred to April and 14 GB in April can be spent without additional payments. But if in April you spend 11 GB out of these 14, then nothing will be carried over to May; the remaining 3 GB is considered to be March. Accordingly, if 9 of these total 14 GB are spent in April, then 1 GB will be transferred to May. It’s a brilliant idea, if only the inventor of the scheme were paid a salary at MTS Bank according to the same principle!
“Doubling” the package of minutes when making calls from the MTS Connect application is also an interesting idea, I described this scheme in the review. The trick is that the main package of minutes is always consumed first. Including calls from the application. And only when the main package is over, we receive a second one, which can be spent exclusively on calls from the MTS Connect application. Regular calls (except calls to MTS) will be charged separately. Formally, this can be considered a “doubling” of the package of minutes, but in fact, you understand. But still, the MTS Connect application is a useful thing, especially in international roaming.
It is clear that it is useless to compare the new “Unlimited” with the old one; these are fundamentally different tariffs. Inherited the name, but this is marketing in pure form, and Mobile-Review is not a “dissertation”; we don’t need to compare the letters. But the similarity with the archived Smart Nonstop is simply striking, and we can compare it with it. It would be nice to call the tariff “New Nonstop” to make it easier to understand...
MTS Smart Unlimited old | MTS Smart Nonstop | MTS Smart Unlimited new | |
Subscription fee | 578 (387)* | 500 | 550 |
Minutes included in the package | 200 | 400 | 350 |
Included in the SMS package | 200 | 400 | 350 |

SMS local over package | 1.50 | 1.50 | 1.50** |
Internet over package | - | For a fee | For a fee** | *For the first month ** After spending carried over from the previous month |
I have certain doubts about calls to all Russian numbers from the package in the new “Unlimited”. You will need to carefully study the pdf description when it appears on the MTS website. 5 rubles/min looks more logical.
The new “Unlimited” service is now suitable for those who do not have enough Internet traffic on the Smart tariff. Although I don’t yet know how Smart will be modified now, let’s not speculate. In any case, I would not recommend switching to the new “Unlimited” from the already archived Nonstop. From the old (now old) “Unlimited” - maybe. If 10 GB of traffic is enough, but minutes - on the contrary, 200 per month is not enough. And with uneven consumption, in order to enjoy the benefits of transferring packages to the next month.
The appearance of the tariff signifies two important news:
Several important clarifications that appeared after the publication of the tariff description on the website.
The intensity of consumption of mobile communication services by subscribers is not always uniform. This may be due to family circumstances, work and travel abroad. As a result, unused minutes and Internet access accumulate on the user’s account. New tariffs allow you to transfer the remaining traffic and minutes to the next month. Thus, subscribers can use the operator’s services more actively in the future without additional costs.
Saving minutes and gigabytes for the next month is a convenient and fair service, but there are some tricks here too. According to the operator’s terms, the number of transferred call minutes cannot exceed the number of the main package. What it looks like in practice:
Saving gigabytes for the next month occurs in a similar manner as transferring minutes on the MTS network. The amount of traffic cannot exceed the conditions of the main package; accumulated MB are not cumulative. Therefore, at the beginning, the subscriber uses the saved traffic from the previous period, then the main quota is activated. Unspent MB from the last month that was not spent in the current month are not carried over to the next month.
Important: the new service for transferring balances to the next month is automatic. The user does not need to perform any automatic actions; the summation of minutes and megabytes is carried out by the operator.
A popular plan is Smart Unlimited. As part of its use, the user is provided with 5 GB of Internet, 500 free minutes and SMS to numbers in the selected region.
Tariff “Smart +” - subscription fee will be from 175 rubles per week. The user is given 350 minutes to talk with subscribers in his region. Intercity travel is not included in the free services. The MTS Smart tariff also has 350 SMS messages and 7 GB of traffic at the user’s disposal.
“Smart Top” - the terms of the tariff have remained virtually unchanged, except for saving minutes for a future period. The monthly fee is 1600 rubles. This amount includes 3000 minutes to all numbers in Russia, without restrictions by region. The user also has 3,000 free messages and 15 GB of traffic.
"ULTRA" - tariff plan, providing for the preservation of traffic for the next period. The monthly fee will be 2,700 rubles. The subscriber is provided with 5000 minutes, available to all operators in the country. Unlimited communication with MTS subscribers is provided. The tariff includes 5,000 SMS messages and 20 GB of traffic.
These tariffs require prepayment for the options offered. Upgrading to your chosen plan is free. To switch to a new plan, you must contact the operator or visit a salon mobile communications. The simplest and most accessible way is still quick commands:
Basically, the operator’s tariff plans have become significantly better due to the convenient storage of unused services. This allows you to receive a kind of compensation for insufficient activity in past periods without additional costs. Previously, such options for saving minutes and traffic were provided by only one operator in Russia – Tele2.
Today, MTS has supported the trend of caring for users, reflecting it in new and improved tariffs. However, at the same time, the new plans are no longer unlimited, and the cost of subscription plans for some of them has increased. What is more in innovation: pros or cons - only the users can decide. However, the very idea of saving leftovers has received wide support among subscribers and is popular.

Implementation of packages of minutes andsms: the balance is carried over to the next month, but cannot exceed the size of the main package
Example of transferring minutes/sms:
1.1. size of the package of minutes included in the AP tariff - 350 minutes
1.2. the subscriber had 250 minutes left from last month and they were transferred to the new (current) month
1.3. in total, the subscriber has 350 + 250 = 600 minutes in the current month
1.4. in the current month, the subscriber will spend the entire package of 600 minutes, without dividing into old and new minutes
1.5. by the end of the current month, the subscriber spent only 50 minutes, i.e. remainder of the package of minutes – 550 minutes
1.6. Only 350 minutes will be transferred to the new (next) month
1.7. those. in the next (third) month the subscriber will have 350 + 350 = 700 minutes
Implementation of Internet packages: the balance is transferred to the next month, and the transferred balance cannot be greater than the main package and cannot be combined with the main package. When transferring the balance of the Internet to the next month, first the balance from the previous month is spent, then the main quota, and then auto-renewal is turned on. The remainder of the Internet from the previous month, which was transferred to the current month, is not transferred to the next.
Example of Internet traffic transfer:
1.1. Internet package size included in the UP tariff – 10 GB
1.2. the subscriber had 9 GB left from last month and they were transferred to the new (current) month
1.3. in total, in the current month the subscriber has the current 10 GB and the old 9 GB
1.4. The old 9 GB will be used up first
1.5. by the end of the current month, the subscriber had spent only 2 GB, i.e. the remainder of the old Internet package is 7 GB and the current Internet package is 10 GB
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 additional package 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 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.
A couple of days ago I wrote about the new MTS “Smart” and “Smart Unlimited” tariffs:
They are already available for connection and transition.
However, that's not all. From April 13, 2017, other tariff plans in this line will be updated. All of them are united by the following parameters:
As we can see in comparison with the old version of “Nedelka”, which was released just last month, the changes here affected the mobile Internet - already traditional removed unlimited. Plus we added package transfer. However, here the packages are transferred not to the next month, but to the next week! Accordingly, this is an even bigger plus.
Here the tariff numbers have not changed at all, only the transfer of packages to the next month has been added.
That is, in “Ultra” we also see changes new feature transferring packages to the next month.
About previous versions of “Smart Top” and “ULTRA” -.
Also, do not forget about doubling the package of minutes when making calls through the MTS Connect application.
Without going into details, namely the size of the monthly fee, tariffs have become better due to the transfer of packages of minutes, SMS and Internet. Refusal unlimited internet only for a smartphone with “Smart+” it doesn’t look like a tragedy to me. But if you think about it, the summary of this line still remains as follows: expensive.
Also, as a PS, it is worth adding that from April 10, MTS will again update the “Smart mini” tariff. However, in connection with the latest know-how on the transfer of packages and the inclusion of intercity minutes in the package, the public would rather be interested in seeing another improvement in the hit MTS TP
