MTS tariffs for 3g/4g modem
Currently, the telephone company offers only 1 tariff plan, which you can switch to voluntarily - “for a laptop”. The rest, no matter how profitable and attractive they may seem, are supplied only in combination with equipment. Subscribers will not be able to switch to them on their own. The above also applies to the Connect-4 plan, available only to a small category of MTS clients.
Connect-4
The mentioned Internet tariff for the modem has been archived and is not available for installation. But people who buy a USB modem and SIM card get the right to use the archived tariff. At the same time, the tariff plan becomes economical only after activating additional packages (the default is “Internet for 14 days”). After the above-mentioned 2 weeks, the subscriber is asked to activate another option on the company portal.
MTS tariff for modem for unlimited Internet for laptop
As a non-alternative basis for USB modems, the operator offers the mentioned tariff “for a laptop”. It contains:
- unlimited traffic at speeds up to 4 Mbit;
- outgoing in your home region – 5 rubles;
- sending SMS messages – 2.5 rubles.
The cost of a monthly payment is 800 rubles, while the exact amount of communication costs depends on the activity of the person making calls and connecting additional services to increase convenience.
Router or modem?
Before choosing the right device, you should determine the main differences between a modem and a router in order to choose the appropriate option. Modems are used primarily for mobile purposes as they can be connected via USB to a PC. Externally, they are similar to a flash drive. Modems can be simple or have the ability to distribute WI-FI. Unlimited MTS 4G Internet can be connected on the official website, following the necessary tips. You will be offered the option of a regular 4G modema and a device with Wi-Fi distribution. In both options, you get access to an Internet connection after purchasing the device and connecting to a desktop computer.
Let's take a closer look at the tariffs with MTS 4G unlimited internet. When ordering a device, the required amount will be automatically credited to your balance without 1 ruble. For example, when you order a modem for 3,600 rubles, 3,599 rubles are credited to your account. You will be provided with a package with unlimited connection for 2 weeks. After the end of the specified period or traffic volume of 60 GB, you need to top up your account and extend the period of using the service.
If you do not do this, then access to the MTS unlimited 4G Internet will be disconnected, and the MTS Connect 4G tariff will be activated with a payment of 3 rubles. for 1 MB, which is very unprofitable. After connecting, it is recommended not to change the tariff plan, but to use the accrued 60 GB, after which you can change it to another option.
Turbo button
If the user needs to temporarily increase the connection speed, he should activate the Turbo buttons by connecting them through his personal account. They remove restrictions and increase the connection level to the highest possible, within the technical capabilities of the operator. It is important to emphasize that restrictions can be removed (the cost in rubles is indicated in brackets):
- for 3 hours (95);
- for 6 hours (160).
The number of renewals is not limited, the main thing is that there are enough funds in the account.
For smartphone
So, the line for mobile phones includes 4 tariff plans. Already by their names you can understand their final purpose - these are Smart, Smart Mini, Smart+ and Smart Non-Stop. The logic is that it all starts with the Mini tariff, which offers a minimum number of megabytes and minutes allocated for calls, but which is cheaper than the others. Accordingly, Smart Non-Stop is the MTS tariff, 3G (unlimited, the month of which costs 650 rubles) is the most voluminous plan. Read more about the tariffs (what they include and how much they cost) below.
What options can be enabled?
Having understood the basic MTS tariffs for a modem in 2021, you should consider additional services for accessing the network. Such options include:
- “Internet for a day”;
- "Mini";
- "Maxi";
- "VIP"
All of the listed offers include a pre-installed traffic package that can be used with almost no restrictions.

Option "Internet for a day"
The first offer is advantageous in that it allows you to pay for traffic only on those days when the subscriber actually accessed the network. The rest of the time, no money is spent. At the same time, a person is provided with 500 MB per day, the price of which is 50 rubles. The tariff does not provide for other payments.
But it is important to emphasize that the described service has a significant drawback: it is archived and is not available for activation. Only those who managed to connect in the past, when the mobile operator did not interfere with this, will be able to use it.
Internet Mini
Mini is the smallest and most modest option the phone company offers. It contains only 7 GB of traffic, which is provided to the client for a month. An important positive quality of the service will be the scope of the package. You can use the allocated limit anywhere in the country; the requirements and conditions of use will not change, and the connection fee will not increase. The above does not apply to international roaming.
Internet Maxi
Maxi differs from the MTS tariff described above for a 3g modem not only in the amount of traffic, but also in the presence of additional privileges. The service description contains:
- 15 GB of Internet traffic;
- unlimited internet at night;
- 30% discount on mobile TV from the subscription price.
For all of the above, the provider requires you to pay 800 rubles monthly. The current rules do not provide for other payments, and the cost of calls depends on the basic tariff set for the SIM card.
Internet VIP
The next option, as is obvious from the name, provides users with maximum freedom of action. It contains:
- 30 GB of traffic;
- unlimited at night;
- 50% discount on television;
- cost – 1200 rubles.
It is important to emphasize that the night period means the period between 1 am and 7 am. It is at this moment that you can use traffic without fear of exhausting the limit.
Setting up 3G on phone and tablet devices
Mobile Internet has long been very popular among the population. MTS on a phone or tablet is configured according to the general principle, and includes the following actions:
- Specify access point: Internet.mts.ru
- The username can be anything, but the base name is usually "MTS".
- The password set by the system is usually the same as the name, but a person can change it at his own discretion.
To complete the setup correctly, you need to restart your smartphone or tablet, and then try to connect the Internet to MTS. If the procedure is unsuccessful, you can call the operator’s service center and order automatic parameters, which will be sent as an SMS message and subsequently must be saved in the memory of the mobile device.
