MTS “Per Second” tariff in 2021: description, how to connect, what’s the catch


The “Per Second” tariff from MTS is beneficial for those who talk little but often. Cellular providers often offer comprehensive services that already include a certain number of minutes. Despite the fact that it is no longer valid in many regions of the Russian Federation, it can still be activated in Moscow and the region. The key advantage is per-second billing for calls; the name speaks for itself and describes the essence of the plan.

Tariff Per second MTS. Description

A tariff called Per Second is suitable for those clients who actively communicate, not only within one network, but also make calls to SIM cards of other operators. The cost of one minute of call to SIM cards of any operators is five kopecks.

Before connecting, you need to carefully study the tariff description. An undeniable advantage is the lack of Internet, and therefore no subscription fee.

If the client wishes, the tariff can be activated as a children's tariff.

There is no monthly subscription fee for providing the tariff. For Moscow and the Moscow region, the cost of the Per Second tariff from MTS is set at the following rates:

to mobile numbers from MTS5 kopecks/sec
to all other SIM cards5 kopecks/sec
landline numbers5 kopecks/sec
Internet cost within the “SuperBit Smart” option0 rubles
cost of internet without9.90 per 1 megabyte

Within the framework, messages are sent without payment, if without an additional service, then the price of one sent SMS is 2 rubles.

If the client wishes to make a call to another country, then the prices will be as follows:

Call to the CIS countries35 rubles per minute
Call to Europe45 rubles per minute
Other countries70 rubles per minute

Disabling a tariff plan

To disable the per-second MTS tariff plan, just go to your personal settings and change the service provision settings. Of course, often users who have recently changed their TP for profit are upset. If you see that the amount of daily charges is large, you should look at other tariff plans. Please note that you can only change them for free once a month.

To disconnect “Per Second” from MTS, simply change it to another one - refusal to use such a service occurs automatically. It is impossible to simply refuse to provide this service without connecting another one. On the MTS website you will find many service options, from which you will choose the most suitable one. If you cannot make a final choice, call the technical support service - consultants will describe in detail the features of each service.

Per-second billing is ideal for those who do not like long conversations.

How to activate the Per-second tariff

MTS provides a number of ways in which you can connect to a tariff plan without a subscription fee. In order to connect, you need to select one of them:

  • visiting your personal account from MTS, where you need to select the appropriate tariff and connect it yourself;
  • dial the short USSD command *111*881#, and then the call key;
  • connection via a call to the MTS company operator, who should be informed of the desire to activate the tariff;
  • visiting an MTS showroom, where you can activate the tariff through an MTS company specialist.

When connecting a tariff to a SIM card, the “SMS Smart Package” and “SuperBit Smart” options are automatically activated.

For the first 15 days of connected services, no payment is charged for connected services, but in the future, if there is no need to use such options, it is recommended to disable them. This way, you can save funds in your mobile account. Customers have noticed that one of the most convenient ways to disable additional options is through the MTS user’s personal account.

Who is the offer suitable for?

The undoubted advantage of this tariff plan is its wide geographical coverage: per-second billing applies not only to calls between company subscribers, but also when communicating with clients of other telecom operators, BUT! within the region.

You are charged for every second of conversation. For this reason, the MTS tariff with per-second billing is beneficial for those who are not used to talking on the phone for hours, but are limited to short calls. Among such subscribers are, for example:

  1. People of retirement age;
  2. Taxi drivers;
  3. Delivery service workers;
  4. Social workers, etc.

Once again, we draw your attention: when you switch to this communication plan, additional options are enabled. If you do not intend to use them, then you need to disable them immediately - this will avoid additional costs.

How to disable the tariff?

Many clients are interested in how to disable Per-Second if necessary. The tariff will be deactivated automatically when it is replaced with another tariff plan. Therefore, in order to disable the tariff, you must choose one of the methods developed by MTS. These include:

  1. In your personal account. The client goes through the authorization process, selects the required tariff and clicks the button called “Connect”.
  2. By dialing the short command *111#, after which the client will hear voice prompts to change the tariff plan.
  3. When dialing a specific USSD command, however, it will depend on the choice of tariff plan, since the combination of numbers is different for each of them.

Summarize

To summarize, we can say the following: a per-second tariff plan, of course, sets the right vector for the company’s development and moves it in the right direction, but until now MTS has not been able to combine in one solution the balance between affordable communications and profitable additional options at a single price. When you connect Internet packages of a good size, SMS and the necessary functions, you get a large amount equal to the average subscription fee.

You can familiarize yourself with the MTS Smart tariffs, especially pay attention to the youngest of the Smart Mini line - at a low cost it includes the optimal number of options and gigabytes of Internet traffic.

Possibility to save on calls

With this tariff, the client can make significant savings. To do this, the subscriber has the opportunity to connect additional services:

  • connection, under the terms of which the client, if not within the home network, can receive incoming calls for free and make calls for 3 rubles per minute: connection options are carried out using the command *111*3333#;
  • was previously available to customers, with it calls to MTS SIM cards in Moscow and the Moscow region were free, but some time ago it became unavailable.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of per-second billing include:

  1. Savings on short calls. After 1 minute of conversation, the cost of the call begins to “bite”;
  2. Unfixed monthly payment;
  3. Possibility to call any numbers using the same tariff within the region.

The disadvantages of the “Per-Second” TP include:

  • automatic connection of paid additional options;
  • paid connection. If you want to change your MTS tariff to per second, you will have to pay 150 rubles;
  • if you communicate not only within the network, the tariff becomes quite ruinous;
  • For those who, in addition to making calls, plan to use the Internet or send SMS quite often, you should think twice about whether to activate this service or choose additional options that will help you save on these services.

Additional services for mobile Internet

Owners of the Per Second tariff have the opportunity to connect options for profitable Internet. These include:

  • “MiniBit” for the Internet, according to which the first 20 megabytes of the Internet are 45 rubles, and the rest for 25, you can activate the option via the request *111*62#;
  • “Internet Mini” provides 7 gigabytes of traffic for 500 rubles per month, connection occurs via the command *111*160#;
  • “Internet-Maxi” for 800 rubles, according to the terms of the option, the client receives 15 gigabytes during the day, and full unlimited at night, to connect you need to enter *111*161*1#;
  • “Internet VIP” provides 30 gigabytes of traffic during the day and unlimited at night: the cost of the option is 1,200 rubles per month, and the service is activated by entering *111*166*1#.
  • if you use the “Bit” , then the subscriber will have access to traffic of 75 megabytes per day for 200 rubles per month, the option must be activated via the command *252#;
  • when connecting to SuperBit, the user has access to 3 gigabytes of traffic per month for 350 rubles; according to the rules, this service is activated by entering *628#

Starting contract services

In addition to the standard functions for calls, sending SMS and using traffic, within the framework of the MTS “Per Second” contract, the following options are available to the client:

  • Forwarding, waiting and holding calls;
  • Use of conference calls;
  • Notifications about missed calls when the device is turned off “You got a call!”;
  • Interactive services: mobile, Internet and electronic assistants;
  • Roaming function for “Easy and International Access” offers;

  • Requests and activation of options using USSD;

This list is sufficient for a subscriber who moderately uses the capabilities of cellular communications and modern devices. If any service is not pre-installed as part of the connected tariff plan, it can be activated additionally.

Reviews about the tariff

Michael. Krasnodar.27 years old

Yesterday I connected to Per Second and started counting how much I would spend in one day. In the end it came out to about 10 rubles. At first I thought I would spend more, but in the end I was satisfied. As an addition, I included “Everywhere is like home,” since I often travel outside of Moscow. I recommend that everyone who makes few calls choose these conditions from MTS.

Hope. Novosibirsk 31 year

I connected Per Second and the whole family followed my example. It’s convenient for me to communicate because I make calls not only to mobile numbers, but also to landline numbers. I was also pleased with the fact that you can make the room a child’s room and not worry about the child. Therefore, I recommend it to those who don’t talk much and call to SIM cards of different operators.

Elena. St. Petersburg.34 years old

My husband and I switched to the Per Second tariff from MTS. I talk quickly, usually for 30 seconds and no more, and he with friends for 10-20 minutes. At the end of the month, we checked his mobile account and were horrified by how expensive the connection was. In addition, the price of SMS is also not satisfactory. I don’t recommend it, because it’s easier to purchase a package tariff plan that already includes SMS and other services. Therefore, I switched to another Red Energy tariff in 2021 and was satisfied, because it suits me more than Per Second.
