Tariff description
Compulsory military service can take a conscript to even the most remote regions of the country. As a result, voice communication can be very expensive. To avoid serious costs, the provider, together with the Ministry of Defense, has released a special tariff plan. In essence, it is a modified “Super MTS”. Under the terms of the social project, each consumer receives two SIM cards with an established contract. One for the use of the soldier, and the other for his parents. Thus, the subscriber can maintain communication with his loved ones from any region of the Russian Federation.
In addition to everything, a technical support and psychological assistance service has been implemented for conscripts, which can be very necessary. For this purpose, a short number “0793” has been provided, by which you can contact a consultant at any time. The tariff plan has a narrow focus and is provided free of charge without charging a subscription fee. After three months of use, a daily payment of 3 rubles begins to be debited if there are no additional paid services on the phone number. Tariffing occurs for every minute of conversation; there are no packages, as in the Smart family. This means that funds are written off only for the actual consumption of paid resources.
Let us consider in detail the features of calculating each direction of cellular communication:
Voice communication
Price:
- all incoming calls from all directions are not subject to tariffication;
- outgoing calls to a conscript's phone number cost zero rubles, subject to the use of paid services from a provider;
- calls over the internal network in the home region cost 1.45 rubles. starting at 21 minutes. First 20 min. any call is provided free of charge;
- connection to subscribers of other providers or landline numbers within the registration area cost 2.5 rubles;
- long-distance communication channel is charged at 5 rubles. when communicating with MTS users. For all other contacts the amount will be 14 rubles;
- if the consumer is located in another region of the country, then the cost is 3 rubles. to all mobile networks. The low price is caused by. It is automatically activated when the subscriber goes beyond the boundaries of the subscriber's registration area.
SMS messages
After connecting, the consumer will receive favorable tariff rates for correspondence. Within the home region, one shipment costs 2 rubles, in a long-distance direction 3.8 rubles. Under national roaming – 3.95 rubles. for one piece to any phone number. As part of the tariff plan, the subscriber receives a package of 10 free SMS every day, which can be spent on any destination. All unspent balances will be automatically canceled during the transition to the next day and will not be transferred to another period. After the limit is exhausted, charging begins in the standard mode.
Internet
Mobile traffic is provided as part of the additional “Super Bit” option. The consumer will receive 3 gigabytes for a month for 350 rubles. If there are not enough funds on the balance to renew the option, then access to the network space is suspended until the next payment. After consuming the established quota, the package is automatically renewed by 500 megabytes for 75 rubles. During one billing period, you are allowed to perform no more than 15 repetitions of the set expansion. After this, data transfer is blocked. If you want to disable auto-renewal, write an outgoing SMS with the text “1” to contact “6280”, for reverse renewal “2”. To install the service on your SIM card yourself, enter the code *111*628#, you can also turn it off.
