The first “smart” watches appeared back in 1972 and have only become more popular since then. Smart gadgets for children are especially in demand, which can be used for telephone conversations and tracking the child’s location.
Children's watches with a GPS tracker can be purchased in online markets, electronics stores, as well as in operator stores: MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2 and others.
Let's look at the range of children's watches from MTS. We will review two current models, talk about tariff plans for such devices, and demonstrate current prices.
Description of the tariff for MTS smart watches

Elari KidPhone 2
This is a simple and affordable smart watch model for children, which can be purchased at the MTS company showroom or online store.
The Elari KidPhone 2 smart watch is a children's gadget primarily designed to track the child's location and conveniently communicate with him. The device supports GLONASS, GPS and LBS tracking, voice calls and messages.
For emergency situations, the device has an SOS button that transmits a message to parents.
You can buy this watch in MTS stores, excluding the promotion for children's smart devices, for 2,490 rubles.
Possibilities
The Elari KidPhone 2 smart watch has the following features:

The watch has a separate slot for a microSIM card. The battery is non-removable, its capacity is 450 mAh.
There are 4 colors: black, blue, pink and green.
Tariff cost
The tariff has an annual payment method for the subscription fee. During this time of use, the MTS subscriber will have to pay the telecommunications company providing him with services in the amount of 790 rubles.
However, after the expiration of 12 months, the tariff switches to a monthly subscription fee of 90 rubles. This offer will cost the user 1,080 rubles per year, which is more than the initial payment.
Despite this, the user can return the annual subscription at the previous price. To do this, you need to call the following USSD command - *111*1720#. This code activates a subscription fee equal to 790 rubles for 12 months of providing a tariff plan.
Renewal of the annual subscription fee must be completed before the end of the last 12 months. Otherwise, 90 rubles will still be charged from the user’s personal account for a month of using the services of a cellular operator, even if he activates an annual subscription.
If the package of minutes is used up
If any traffic point is completely used up, the TP switches to per-minute billing under the following conditions:
- per minute of an outgoing voice call you will have to pay 2 rubles if the connection occurs between MTS subscribers, or 3 rubles to the numbers of other cellular operators in your home region;
- calls to other regions of the Russian Federation will cost 5 rubles 50 kopecks;
- 5 rubles 25 kopecks for an outgoing text message.
Per-minute billing ends at 00:00 of the next month of subscription to the tariff plan.
Compatible Options
Unfortunately, according to the terms of provision, the provider allocates a minimum set of minutes, SMS and network traffic. What to do if all the units are gone before the deadline? For such purposes, special renewal services have been implemented:
- This tariff plan does not provide additional packages of minutes; you will only have to rely on what is available.
- SMS correspondence.
If you are actively texting, you can connect the following kits:
One-time sets. In this case, funds are debited only at the time of activation:
| Volume of additional quota | Connection cost, rubles | Installation code |
| 50 | 75 | *111*444*50# |
| 150 | 200 | *111*444*150# |
| 300 | 300 | *111*444*300# |
Periodic. There is a monthly fee for use, which is charged automatically every billing period on the day the service is launched. The following variations are available:
| Renewal size | Subscription fee, rubles | Command to connect |
| 100 | 120 | *111*0100# |
| 300 | 210 | *111*0300# |
| 500 | 260 | *111*0500# |
| 1000 | 340 | *111*01000# |
The validity of such kits is 30 days. You can simultaneously launch several one-time offers, and the total volume will be summed up.
- Mobile Internet.
Currently, subscribers with the “Our Smart” tariff plan can divide their traffic package into 6 different devices, which may include smart systems. To do this, you will need to enter the combination *434*1*contact phone number#. After this, you will receive a notification asking you to confirm the connection.
You can activate additional renewal sets as part of the “Turbo button” option:
| Size of connected quota, GB | Activation cost, rubles | Connection code |
| 0,1 | 30 | *111*05*1# |
| 0,5 | 95 | *167# |
| 1 | 175 | *467# |
| 2 | 300 | *168# |
| 5 | 450 | *169# |
| 20 | 900 | *469# |
If the standard amount of package data is not enough, you can expand the packages depending on your individual needs.
Advantages and disadvantages of the tariff
Smart Device is not the only communication service offering for electronic equipment. Other telecommunications companies also have similar tariff plans, so it’s worth highlighting the main advantages and disadvantages:
| Advantages of the offer | Disadvantages of the tariff plan |
| Low cost of subscription fee. | Calls and SMS sending are available only in the home region of the connection. |
| 35% discount for annual payment for communication services. | |
| Voice calls and text messages included in the tariff, which are not included in similar offers. |
From the above comparison, it becomes clear that this tariff is worthy of purchase for smart watch owners. Especially if the subscriber is already a client of the telecommunications company MTS.
Starting contract services
As part of the package, when connecting, the client has access to the following list of functions that ensure comfortable use of the SIM card:
- Short Message Service;
- Call waiting and holding, as well as call forwarding;
- Device synchronization;
- Automatic caller ID;
- Alerts about balance changes;
- Refusal of notifications received from the operator, including PUSH messages;
- Prohibition on downloading content;
- Informing about connection or disconnection of services;
- Mobile and Internet assistants.
If necessary, the subscriber has the right to connect additional services not included in the prepaid tariff plan for an additional fee according to the operator’s standard prices.
Tariff connection conditions
To activate the tariff, there is only one condition required. The personal account balance of a SIM card with an activated tariff plan must contain an amount equal to 800 rubles.
This monetary equivalent is necessary for the company in order to register the provision of services to the user. From this amount, the annual subscription fee in the above amount - 790 rubles - will be immediately debited from the balance of the MTS client’s personal account.
Also, connecting the “Smart Device” can be done exclusively on the territory of the Russian Federation, with the exception of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The region in which the tariff was activated will be considered home.
How to activate a tariff for a smart watch “Smart Device”
This is not a standard offer from a mobile operator. Unlike other tariffs, a subscriber cannot switch to this package traffic through a mobile application or the company’s official website. To complete the contract, you must purchase a specialized starter kit.
You can do this in two main ways:
- using a specialized USSD command;
- in any mobile phone store of the telecommunications company MTS.
Don’t also forget about the mandatory amount of 800 rubles on the user’s personal account balance.
When purchasing a “Smart Device” at the office of a cellular operator, the client also purchases a SIM card for a smart watch. The client will also enter into a new contract for the provision of mobile communication services.
If the subscriber does not need a new SIM card, he can use the USSD command - *111*1720#. This code will convert the tariff plan to an offer for smart watches. However, to do this, there must be an amount equal to the annual subscription fee on the SIM card’s personal account.
Elari KidPhone 3G
These watches appeared in MTS showrooms quite recently. The children's smart gadget Elari KidPhone 3G differs from similar devices in that it is “friends” with Alice, the Yandex voice assistant.
Before launching the device, the developers taught Alice to understand children's speech and answer tricky questions. She can help with questions about the school curriculum, tell a poem or fairy tale, find a song, explain why the grass is green.
The answers are found almost instantly - within 2-3 seconds.
The child will be pleased to use such a gadget, and parents will be calm that he is always under supervision.
The voice assistant has a restriction on “adult content”. So you don’t have to worry: Alice won’t answer too tricky questions.
Such smart watches from MTS are not cheap. Without taking into account the promotion for children's smart gadgets, the price for them is 6,990 rubles.
Functional
The main functions of the Elari KidPhone 3G children's smart watch include:
- Built-in voice assistant Alice;
- Supports audio and video calls;
- Support sending SMS messages;
- GPS/Wi-Fi/LBS tracking with geofencing;
- Work in 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi networks, with the possibility of limitation;
- Audio monitoring of the environment around the child;
- “In class” mode, which limits calls;
- SOS button for emergencies.
In addition, the device is equipped with a pedometer, alarm clock, voice chat and a 2 MP front camera.
There are only 2 color options: red and black.
How to disable the tariff
You can disable the tariff yourself in several ways:
- at the nearest office of the telecommunications company MTS;
- after waiting for automatic disconnection from the services of the cellular operator.
The first method will require a little preparation from the user. The client must come to any cellular communication office with an agreement on the provision of mobile services by MTS and a passport. The subscriber must be an individual specified in the contract of the cellular operator.
Having arrived at the MTS office, the user must indicate his desire to terminate relations with the company. To do this, you will need to write an application according to the sample that will be issued by a representative of the mobile operator. After accepting all the documents, the contract for the provision of communication services will be terminated, and along with it all SIM cards will be turned off.
If the user is not the owner of the tariff plan or simply does not want to use the method described above, then the subscriber can wait until the tariff is automatically turned off. To do this, you need to have a negative personal account balance and not use communication services for 6 months. After this period expires, the number associated with the SIM card will return to the telecommunications company, and the tariff plan will no longer be valid.
The method that uses a six-month waiting period will not work if the number has an annual subscription fee.
