MTS operator gave unpleasant gifts to subscribers by February 14, 2022

Mobile operator MTS is increasing the cost of using the Super MTS tariff. The changes will affect archived versions of the Super MTS tariff. The tariff will increase in price from August 13, 2019.

MTS is changing the terms of tariffs for the Super MTS . We counted nine varieties of such tafifs: “Super MTS 042014”, “Super MTS 122014”, “Super MTS 092014”, “Super MTS. Region 072014", "Super MTS. Region 072015", "Super MTS 0513", "Super MTS 2013", "Super MTS", "Super MTS 082013".

Let's look at the changes using the example of the tariffs “Super MTS 042014 ” (closed for connection and transition from 09/01/2014) and “Super MTS 122014”.

When calling a local MTS number and all landline phones in Moscow and the Moscow region, the cost of 1 minute of conversation will be 95 kopecks. Then from the 2nd to the 15th minute the conversation will be free. And from the 16th minute of the same conversation - 95 kopecks per minute.

The cost of calls to MTS to other regions of Russia will be 5.50 rubles/min.

The daily fee for the “Call for free to MTS Russia 100” option will be 4.50 rubles.

The daily fee for the “Call for free to MTS Russia 100 (022015)” option will be 4 rubles.

Before the increase in price on the Super MTS tariff without connecting the “Call for free to MTS Russia 100” option, the operator provided 20 minutes per day to mobile phones in Moscow and the Moscow region and landline phones of MTS Moscow. These are the conditions for subscribers from Moscow and the Moscow region; in other regions, tariff parameters may differ.

How much will MTS subscriber expenses increase?

Super MTS tariff.
Calls 0 rubles per minute to MTS in your region From August 13, 2022, for a call lasting 20 minutes, the subscriber will pay 5 rubles 70 kopecks (6 x 0.95 rubles). If you call once for 20 minutes every day, then for a month (30 calendar days) expenses will be 171 rubles.

Costs will increase even more if you made 20 short calls per day, within 1 minute (59 seconds) each. Now each such short call will cost 95 kopecks. 20 calls per day to MTS numbers in your home region will cost 19 rubles. And in a month, expenses will increase to 570 rubles.

Recommendations

A detailed description of the TP is on the company’s official website, where you can leave a request for reconnection or delivery of a SIM card. This offer quickly became popular, as it provides the most loyal terms of use. Most users of cellular network services speak positively about it, highlighting the lack of monthly obligations and the availability of a sufficient number of free minutes.

Before connecting a tariff, study in detail the conditions provided for cooperation so that you do not encounter unforeseen circumstances in the process. If necessary, contact experienced employees by phone: 0890 or during a personal visit to the company’s office. Each user will be provided with free consultation on information and technical issues.

Cost of calls to other regions

The cost of calls to MTS mobile phones in other regions will rise to 5.50 rubles. in a minute. Before the price increase, the cost of such calls was 5 rubles. in a minute.

Calls to numbers of other operators (Beeline, Megafon, Tele2) in regions other than home will cost 14 rubles per minute. As a result, a 10-minute call to a friend from Irkutsk to a MegaFon Irkutsk number will cost you 140 rubles. In fact, this cost of tariffs for calls to other regions is prohibitive. But in the MTS store, when buying a SIM card, of course, they won’t tell you about this.

Will it become more expensive or cheaper?

Since the beginning of February 2022, it has been sending out mass SMS messages to its customers with information that already in February-March the amount of the subscription fee for the tariff will be adjusted. It is not specified whether the tariff will become more expensive or cheaper, but if you study this issue in detail by visiting the official website of the telecom operator, it becomes clear that we are talking about a global rise in price. Because of this kind of event, starting from February 14, many customers, including those using the “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan, will have to pay significantly more money than before. It is unknown how much the tariffs will rise in price, but the price increase will definitely be significant.

How to find out about changes in tariff conditions

Message from MTS about changes to the Super MTS tariff plan
According to Russian legislation, operators must notify subscribers in advance about changes in tariffs. It would be logical to send a Push notification in your personal account. But no. MTS prefers communication through such an outdated format as sending SMS messages.

A number of MTS subscribers received SMS messages about changes in the conditions of the Super MTS tariff. We managed to get such a message.

However, as it turned out, not everyone received such messages.

Super MTS tariff

This program is considered one of the most beneficial for the client for a number of objective reasons. Among the advantages it should be noted:

1. Possibility of gaining access to the program without a subscription fee.
2. There are no connected mobile Internet packages.
3. No free messages.
4. 100 minutes are allocated for communication within the network.
5. Loyal prices upon exhaustion of the package of minutes (For Moscow 1.5 rubles/minute).
6. Conversations with users of other operators 2.5 rubles/minute.

A niche offer looks profitable for a certain category of subscribers, but you need to remember some important nuances of the offer discussed in the article:

• There are paid options in test mode, including “You got a call!”, for which you will have to pay immediately. It makes it possible to receive incoming messages from other people when the phone was turned off or out of coverage area. The first two weeks it is free. Then the payment is 39 rubles per month (1.3 rubles are withdrawn from the account daily). Disabling is possible in your Personal Account or by dialing the combination *111*38# and the call button;
• If there is no order for paid options within 90 days, the operator begins to automatically withdraw 3.2 rubles from the number’s balance. per day. You can avoid this by connecting to a paid service every three months or performing a paid action. For example, send a text message. It's better not to go on the Internet. The minimum fee for accessing the Internet is 26 rubles.

You can read about some other nuances that existed at the time of writing below. Therefore, we can move on to the advantages, disadvantages and costs.

Advantages of the Super MTS tariff

The main advantage is the absence of various paid services or subscription fees. Having purchased a card, the owner will only pay for what he actually uses. If you do not enable the “All Super” option, you will not spend any money. If you need features not included in the standard offer, it is recommended to activate the “All Super +” option, which allows you to get:

1. The Internet package is small in size, sufficient for checking messages in managers, using a map online, or performing actions in applications (for example, ordering pizza or a taxi). Bonus: the ability to make free calls within coverage.
2. The “All Super +” option will be an excellent opportunity to save when making frequent calls within the MTS network or to landline numbers for a daily fee of 9 rubles. You can turn off the mobile network, making the card an excellent option for work contacts. Payment is debited only when calls are made. If, for example, no calls were made on Sunday, the operator will not charge 9 rubles.

Despite a number of advantages, some disadvantages can be found. Detailed information about them is available below. Start of form

Disadvantages of the Super MTS tariff

The main disadvantage is the presence of automatically connected paid services. True, they can be turned off (more about this was said in the introductory block). But if a person does not know about their existence, unexpected expenses may result in money being written off from the account. Other disadvantages and inconveniences include:

1. The subscription fee is debited for the All Super service, even if the subscriber has not used communication services. When making the transition, you should be careful and remember to turn off everything that you do not plan to use in the future. If there is a need for the Internet and free calls, it is better to take a similar offer, but with a plus.
2. The presented option is extremely unprofitable for communicating with users living in other regions. For one minute of long-distance conversation you need to pay 15 rubles per minute.
3. The SIM card is not suitable for use in smart devices and smart watches, which may cause inconvenience.

It is impossible to activate this offer for use on the Crimean peninsula. You will have to set up roaming for an additional fee. This is quite a significant drawback.

Modern tariffs of the MTS operator

MTS also suggests “paying attention to modern tariffs.” These, according to MTS, are tariffs that include unlimited traffic and Internet speed. Such tariffs also boast a large package of minutes and SMS. But why do users with a push-button phone need unlimited Internet? There are about 40% of these in the networks of Russian mobile operators. MTS does not disclose the number of subscribers with “granny phones” in its network.

The Internet is not needed by users of push-button phones. Unless, of course, you have a brand new Nokia 220 4G phone. Which supports high-definition voice transmission and work in 4G LTE networks.

Tariffs for calls from MTS

For calls from a regular phone, MTS still has the “Super MTS”, Red Energy and “Your Country” tariffs (profitable calls within Russia, the CIS, China, Vietnam and South Korea).

The current “Super MTS” tariff is worse than the archived ones, even taking into account their rise in price. Calls to MTS mobile numbers and all landline phones in Moscow and the Moscow region without the “Everything is super” option cost 1.75 rubles. in a minute. A 10-minute conversation will cost 17.50 rubles. Calls to numbers of other operators in Moscow and the Moscow region cost 2.50 rubles. in a minute. And calls to other operators from regions other than home cost 14 rubles. in a minute. Calls to MTS mobile numbers in other regions cost 5.50 rubles. per minute, as at archival rates from August 13.

How to disable the Super MTS tariff?

If you want to change your tariff plan, you can disable the Super MTS tariff by dialing the code to connect to the desired tariff plan that was selected instead of the existing one. You can also terminate the contract with the operator yourself.

There is an unusual, but possible option to disconnect - this is not to use MTS services and not to top up your account for 6 months. It is after this period of time that the contract is terminated automatically. True, the number is transferred to another user.

How to find out your tariff from the MTS operator

Dial *111*59# on your phone to complete the request.

If the SIM card is installed in the tablet, then you need to move it to the phone and send a request from the phone using the specified command. If you took care of cost control in advance and installed the “My MTS” application on another phone, you can log into your MTS personal account through the application. And check the tariff parameters in the application. But there are very few such prudent users. And not everyone has two phones at once.

Non-public alternatives

If you are tired of constant changes in tariffs, then I suggest you familiarize yourself with the non-public tariffs of MTS (you cannot switch to them in a communication salon or in your personal account).

• Smart for your own - 600 minutes, 600 SMS and 10 GB of Internet for 200 rubles per month.
• Super MTS for its own - free minutes and no monthly fee.

Last changes

Previously, the offer included an hour of calls in your region. But not so long ago the tariff was “blown away” to 30 limited minutes.

Typically, archived tariffs do not release updates and new extensions, because for a company, archiving an offer is the first stage towards its elimination. Only a large number of subscribers who use the services can slow down the process of this freezing.

About the cost

Extremely important! Our article used parameters for one of the regions. Within the framework of the material, it is simply impossible to indicate the conditions for all subjects of the Russian Federation. Therefore, you should check the parameters, they may differ in regions.

How to do it:

• Go to the operator's website.
• Open the tariffs section.
• Go to the archive.
• Study the list and find the option you are interested in.
• Open the PDF document in your browser. Conditions for old plans are stored in a similar format.
• You can view the settings for your region.

Tip: in order not to spend a long time searching for a program in the list, press the Ctrl and F keys simultaneously. A window will then appear, enter 082013 in it. Now the appropriate options will be highlighted on the page, making it much easier to find a plan in the archive.

Tariff description

The tariff package offers each subscriber flexible settings on an individual basis. Everyone can freely select and connect the necessary packages of minutes, traffic volume or any other additional options provided in the service. As a result, the final cost of the tariff is formed from the total number of connected functions. Having such advantages, TP differs significantly in price from its analogues.

The new proposal was based on the Super MTS tariff contract. Many users have long appreciated its characteristics. Having studied the detailed description, the company's subscribers see the transparency of all payments, that payment occurs only for those services that are actually used.

Riot in Crimea

Price revisions on archived Super MTS tariffs have been going on for several weeks now. Each region has its own characteristics. However, the most resonant was the “optimization” of the Super MTS tariff in the Krasnodar Territory. The fact is that MTS SIM cards from this particular region were “magically” sold en masse in Crimea, where MTS also “magically” had no roaming. After the recent increase in the cost of Super MTS, deputies made relevant requests to the regulatory authorities, and the head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, promised to resolve the issue at the highest level, and if it doesn’t work out, then “we’ll take their office by storm, don’t worry!” True, there are no MTS offices in Crimea.

Deactivation

Customers do not have the option to turn off their current billing plan. The subscriber must have certain terms of service in order to use mobile communications services.

But the client can change the program to one of the tariffs open for transition. To do this you will need:

• Review current plans from MTS.
• Choose the appropriate option among them.
• Switch to the selected program using one of the available methods.
• Afterwards, the old tariff will be automatically disabled.

Conditions

Now let’s study the tariff description for Super MTS 082013. Its parameters are as follows:

• Up to 20 minutes of calls within the network – 0 rubles.
• Calls to MTS after 21 minutes – 0.95 rub.
• Calls to other numbers – 1.5 rub.
• SMS – 1.5 rub.
• 1 MB of traffic – 9.9 rub.

This plan is suitable for making calls within the network. But calling numbers from other operators is quite expensive. Therefore, before connecting, be sure to determine the main directions of the calls being made.

Additionally, it is proposed to activate the Zero option on MTS. With its help you can get up to 100 minutes per day to all operator numbers in Russia. This option will be interesting for people who make a lot of calls within the network.

Similar contracts of other operators

The tariff plan is a unique offer from MTS, representing a universal constructor. In which a flexible system for independently selecting the necessary options according to the user’s wishes has been clearly developed. It has absolutely no similar packages among other Russian operators, and is out of competition.

TP "MTS Region" is an excellent choice for residents of Moscow and the region, allowing you to significantly save on regional cellular communications without limiting your communication on the network. The first time a subscriber wants to activate any additional options in the package, there will be no obstacles or restrictions. Users have an excellent opportunity to independently calculate the total cost of all activated services in the tariff.
