There comes a time for every person when it is necessary to make calls to other regions of the country or other cities. This could be a conversation with friends, family or for work purposes. Accordingly, every person wants to spend a minimum of money from their budget on communications. As a rule, many mobile communications customers use only those tariffs that provide favorable rates in their home region, but if you need to call other cities, the tariffs increase significantly. To minimize costs, users of the MTS network can add the “Favorable intercity” option to their tariff and save with it.
Description of the service Profitable intercity MTS
The main purpose of the option is to reduce the cost of long-distance calls. It's great for people who make a lot of calls to other cities.
You can save a certain amount with its help.
Conditions:
- The cost for outgoing calls to any operators will be three rubles.
- The price for service is 40 rubles/month.
The initial payment is made immediately upon activation. In the future, it will be removed every month, so it is worth taking into account its availability when activating the service.
Shutdown
To disable a service that has become unnecessary, just use the same methods that were used to enable it:
- send USSD request *111*903#;
- or use your personal account.
An alternative solution is to call the MTS contact center. Support operators will tell you about all the features of the service, including incoming calls, and will help you deactivate the add-on that has lost its relevance. But before this, the caller will have to go through identification: give his last name and indicate his own passport details. Without such identity verification, consultants cannot make changes to the terms of communication.
Advantages and disadvantages
You have studied the description of the MTS Favorable intercity service. Many users were able to evaluate the presented proposal. Based on the reviews, many positive criteria can be identified. What are the benefits of the option?
- You can call numbers of various operators in Russia.
- It is possible to make calls to any city.
- A single and clear tariff applies.
- You can save money on calls.
- It is possible to reduce the base cost of long-distance calls.

Despite the impressive list of advantages, some clients also highlighted negative nuances:
- The option is valid only in the region of connection to the operator.
- It is not compatible with similar services. You will have to stop using those already connected to join users of this option.
- The option is not available on all tariffs.
- It involves a subscription fee.
- It will be beneficial only for those who make a lot of long-distance calls.
Advantages and disadvantages
It is enough to take a second look at the description to be convinced that the main advantages of MTS are related to the reduction in the cost of calls to third-party regions. Such advantages explain the purpose of the option, so their appearance should not surprise subscribers. But, if you take a closer look at the telephone company’s offer, it turns out that among the main positive aspects:
- uniform cost for outgoing calls throughout Russia;
- free inbox;
- using the lowest prices when there are several options (tariff and service);
- priority use of packages included in the tariff plan.
Among the shortcomings are:
- the need to call from your home region;
- incompatibility with individual tariffs;
- incompatibility with other operator proposals aimed at reducing long-distance calls.
No other disadvantages or weaknesses were found.
What tariffs do not provide this service?
The company has introduced some restrictions, which include tariff offers. The option is not available on some MTS tariffs. Among them:
- Smart Nonstop.
- Smart.
- Smart+.
- Hype.
- Smart top.
It is impossible to connect it on these plans. In case of switching to one of the specified tariffs from another program, the MTS Profitable Intercity service will be automatically disabled by the operator.
Prices for roaming in Russia on different tariff plans
If it is necessary to periodically move around the country, no subscriber will be able to avoid intranet roaming. Therefore, it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with the prices in different tariff plans.
MTS did not provide any special tariffs, so familiarizing yourself with the prices for various popular packages will help you get the overall picture. However, a small pattern applies: all packages without a mandatory subscription fee have almost the same cost for national roaming.

Favorable MTS tariffs for calls within Russia within the network
Connecting additional services for profitable calls across the country is popular only among people who communicate through tariffs without a monthly fee and a package of minutes. But in the MTS company line there are many current tariffs, which in themselves allow you to make cheap calls. Typically, they include a package of minutes available for use for a month.
"Your country"
Unlike many other tariffs presented in the selection, this one does not include a package of minutes. But the subscription fee is 0 rubles per month. That is, the MTS client will not have to pay for using the TP. Money will be withdrawn only if the subscriber makes a call, sends an SMS or goes online.
Incoming calls to “Your Country” are not charged. The most profitable outgoing calls are made to the numbers of other MTS subscribers using the same tariff. The cost will be 1 r/min. Other calls to MTS numbers will cost 2.5 rubles per minute of conversation. And calls within Russia will cost 5 r/min.
Another distinctive feature of the tariff is the fact that subscribers have access to serious discounts on calls to some countries. For example:
- To TCELL numbers in Tajikistan – 7 r/min.
- For MTS Armenia subscribers – 3 r/min.
- Uzbekistan – 6 r/min.
- On MTS Ukraine – 3.5 r/min.
- Vietnam – 8 rubles per minute.
- China – 3 r/min.
As for sending text messages, in your region they will cost 2.5 rubles per message. SMS to numbers in other regions are priced at 6 rubles, and MMS at 9.9 rubles. The Internet package is not included in the tariff, so you will have to pay 9.9 rubles for each megabyte of traffic.
"Tariffishche"
A very interesting tariff plan, which is unique in the entire line of MTS offers. The fact is that at Tariffische the client can independently choose a package of minutes and SMS, which will be provided for a month.
Tariff cost | |
Package contents | Subscription fee |
500 minutes and messages | 585 RUR/month |
800 minutes and SMS | 720 RUR/month |
1500 SMS and minutes | 945 RUR/month |
3000 minutes and messages | 1395 RUR/month |
The benefits of Tariffish are not limited to just a large number of minutes and SMS. TP lives up to its name in that it also offers customers of the mobile operator unlimited access to the Internet. And subscribers are given a 100% discount on using the tariff for 1 month.
"Our Smart"
MTS package offer for 1000 rubles per month, which gives:
- Unlimited Internet.
- 1500 minutes.
- 1500 messages.
The tariff prices in this material are relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region. The cost of services in other regions must be clarified on the website mts.ru.
If you pay attention to the size of the subscription fee and the package of services provided, it becomes clear that using “Our Smart” when there is a “Tariffishche” is not very profitable. The tariff plan discussed earlier is cheaper, but at the same time provides the same opportunities, as well as a subscription to the ivi cinema
Therefore, you should carefully choose a tariff and settle on “Tariffishche”.
"Smart Top"
Another uncompromising solution for people who do not want to limit themselves in communication. For 1950 rubles per month, the subscriber receives:
- Unlimited traffic.
- 3000 minutes.
- 3000 SMS.
And here again it’s worth paying attention to the trick that MTS made. Using the Tariffishche offer in the same configuration, the subscriber will pay less, namely 1395 rubles per month
Such a difference is difficult to explain, since the additional conditions for the TP are absolutely identical. There is no point in overpaying for a tariff without customization options. However, in the case of Smart Top, the client also receives free premium service for 6 months.
"ULTRA"
It is not for nothing that this tariff received such a name. This offer is the most advanced in the entire line of the mobile operator. After all, every month the client receives:
- Unlimited Internet.
- 5000 minutes.
- 5000 SMS.
- Free premium service.
Of course, many people are interested in what a premium service is. This is a special loyalty program that provides priority service in communication stores, an individual approach from call center employees, special offers from MTS and mobile operator partners.
But the main advantage of the tariff is still a huge number of minutes and SMS, as well as unlimited access to the network. True, for such pleasure you will have to pay as much as 2900 rubles per month. Such a tariff should be used only by those people who very often communicate in the usual ways in the form of calls and SMS.
How useful is this option?
The option will be useful only for subscribers who often make long-distance calls. Despite the low cost of calls, it has a serious drawback - a subscription fee. To compensate for its presence, you need to make a lot of calls to other cities. Therefore, before connecting, carefully study your needs and make an informed decision.
Each of us has a need to make calls to other cities and regions of the country, to some relatives and friends, to others for work. At the same time, we would all like to spend less money on mobile communications.
Since most cellular users use the tariffs of their “home region”, connecting to a convenient tariff for profitable long-distance calls is simply necessary for subscribers who call to other cities. This unique opportunity is provided to its subscribers by the mobile operator MTS. Its users can call other regions incredibly profitably. Each subscriber can connect to this service.
All active users of the MTS mobile operator who want to use it can connect it. It is important that this service can also be activated in roaming.
Tariffs without monthly fee
On the other side of the new package tariffs are offers with a prepaid system with per-second or per-minute charging for outgoing communications. Ten years ago, these tariffs ruled the market, however, now with the advent of smartphone technology and high-speed public Internet, these tariffs have faded into the background. Still, not everyone has cutting-edge smartphones, and there are still plenty of conservative-minded citizens who do not want to change their usual communication conditions.
The first tariff that we will analyze will be a plan with the self-explanatory name Per Second.
- no subscription fee;
- free internet under the Mini BIT and Super BIT programs;
- paid Internet communication data 9.90 rubles per 1 megabyte;
- cost of SMS messages: free to MTS subscriber numbers;
- to phones of users of other operators 1.75 rubles.
- free incoming calls;
The Super MTS tariff is the second of the most successful tariffs among the population of the MTS company without a subscription fee. The main bonus of this offer will be the possibility of free calls from the first minute of conversation.
The tariff is quite simple in terms of conditions, like the above Per Second.
- no subscription fee;
- free internet under the Mini BIT and Super BIT programs;
- paid Internet traffic 9.90 rubles per 1 megabyte;
- cost of SMS messages: free to MTS user numbers;
- to subscriber numbers of other operators 1.75 rubles.
- free incoming calls;
MTS intranet roaming 2021: communication services when traveling around Russia
The cellular operator Mobile TeleSystems canceled MTS intranet roaming in Russia back in 2021. However, there has been a little confusion with calls and SMS, because now during a trip the region where the subscriber is currently located (the region of residence) is considered home, and calls within this territory become local for him. And calls to the real home network where the connection took place become long-distance.
The costs of calls and SMS when traveling in Russia depend on the tariff plan. If local packages are connected, then when traveling they will only be valid within the region of your stay, and calls and SMS outside of it will be considered intercity. If you have connected packages that are valid throughout Russia, you can safely continue to communicate while traveling under the same conditions.
The situation with MTS mobile Internet is simpler - from 2021 it operates throughout the country without additional payments. While traveling around Russia, subscribers can communicate via instant messengers and use social networks under the same conditions as at home.
Tariffs without surcharges when traveling around Russia
The mobile operator MTS has a number of tariffs that allow you to use cellular communications when traveling around the country under the same conditions as at home. Having chosen one of them, you don’t have to think about the costs, they won’t change. These tariff plans include:
- “Tariff” - includes from 600 to 1600 minutes and SMS to all Russian networks and unlimited Internet (25 GB of traffic). Monthly payment – from 525 to 1075 rubles. (the amount depends on the selected package of minutes and SMS).
- “ULTRA” – 3500 minutes within Russia, 3500 SMS within Russia, unlimited Internet (15 GB of traffic) for 1800 rubles. per month.
- “Smart Top” - 2000 minutes to all networks, unlimited calls to MTS numbers throughout Russia and unlimited Internet for 1300 rubles. per month.
All other MTS tariff plans provide for a change in tariffs when a subscriber moves to another region of the Russian Federation.
Service activation
So, to connect MTS Intercity, send a message with the text 903 to the short number 111. After this, the service will be activated. You can also use the “Personal Account”, where clients are served online. Here you can make the connection yourself. In addition to the above methods, you can use a USSD request, which is sent from your phone using the combination * 111 * 903 #. If none of the methods listed above suits you, you can use the option of calling an operator who will activate this service for you.
You will learn about activation from an SMS message that will be sent to your number. After this, you can immediately call at a favorable rate.
If the need for this option has exhausted itself, you can always quickly disable it. Use the operator’s menu or a combination of numbers, which you can get from your MTS operator. The option will be disabled within 24 hours after you submit your application.
Thus, you will be able to make long-distance calls, taking advantage of significant savings on your money.
According to users of this service, they manage to save significantly on calls to numbers in other regions, and they did not find any pitfalls in the tariff. In general, subscribers who have already connected to this service are quite satisfied with it.
There comes a time for every person when it is necessary to make calls to other regions of the country or other cities. This could be a conversation with friends, family or for work purposes. Accordingly, every person wants to spend a minimum of money from their budget on communications. As a rule, many mobile communications customers use only those tariffs that provide favorable rates in their home region, but if you need to call other cities, the tariffs increase significantly. To minimize costs, users of the MTS network can add the “Favorable intercity” option to their tariff and save with it.
Terms of service
Like any other option or tariff from mobile operators, “Beneficial Intercity” from MTS has certain conditions:
- The option can only work on a SIM card alone, in other words, other services that provide benefits to customers and discounts on calls to other cities will not work.
- The service can operate exclusively within the home region; outside of it, the preferential tariff schedule will not work.
- If the client uses tariff plans that already include free minutes within the country, the service will begin to operate only after the free minutes have been exhausted. Before this, the subscription fee for the service will be charged, but discounts on calls will not be provided.
- If the active tariff plan includes unlimited calls to MTS numbers in Russia, then preferential rates will work, but only to numbers of other Russian operators.
- In the case where the tariff plan assumes a lower cost of calls than the terms of the option, preference will be given. In this case, there is no point in subscribers using the service.
It is worth noting that today the service will not work and cannot be activated on the “Smart” tariff plan. In addition, if the service is already enabled, then when you switch to the designated plan, the service will be automatically deactivated from the SIM card.
It does not provide service on some other offers from MTS, namely on tariffs from the “Smart” line. Detailed information can be found on the operator’s website.
