Every parent tries to warn their child and protect him from dubious content, and also looks for the optimal balance of prepaid functions at an affordable subscription fee in the tariff. MTS tariffs for children are not specially developed, so in this material you will find the best options for use for these purposes.

Basically, all that is required for operation is a reliable connection with certain functions, without additional services that constantly remove funds from the balance and are not used, that is, the most simplified version of the tariff plan.
Features of activation and deactivation
“Children's package” is available to all subscribers, excluding business corporate offers. There is no charge for activating the service; the monthly subscription fee is one hundred rubles. Requests and USSD commands are also free.
To connect, dial the combination on your baby’s phone: *111*1112#. In the menu that opens, go to the first section “Connect”.
After successful processing of the request, an activation notification will be sent to your phone.
You can specify two adult numbers in total.
From the child’s phone we send a message to number 1112 with the command: “PARENT” and the phone number.
Example: PARENT 89157890123.
You can also add a second user. If your request is rejected, try entering the command in Latin - RODITEL. The telephone number must be separated by a space.
If you no longer need such a tool, you can skip this option. But it is impossible to deactivate the “Children's package” yourself. You need to go to an MTS communication salon and present your passport.
Disabling is available only to the owner of the number used by the child.

What is MTS
The mobile operator MTS allows you to provide control over your children on the social network. This option will serve as excellent protection for the child and will not allow him to view unwanted information on various sites on the Internet. After all, all adults are well aware that social pages are filled with information that negatively affects the development and consciousness of a child. It is for such purposes that “Parental Control” was developed, which is very popular among those people whose children are still in school.
The filter is installed on the desired device: mobile phone, desktop computer or laptop. It is this filter that will protect the child from unnecessary browsing on the Internet.
Reviews
With the help of special MTS functions, children on the Internet are protected from inappropriate content. But the promises of the provider are one thing, and the real effect of the connected function is another. For a complete analysis, it is worth reading reviews from people who have used the service.
Let's highlight a few comments:
- “Everything is planned well, you can set an Internet schedule, control website visits and see the child’s traffic. A month later, for some reason, the function “fell off”, but the fee continued to be charged. To fix the problem I had to disconnect and reconnect. Otherwise, there are no complaints." Ekaterina, 35 years old.
- “I think this feature is very useful and helps protect children from third-party sites. My child is only six years old, but he is already attracted to such resources that he himself does not want to look at. I recommend connecting. Moreover, the cost is very symbolic.” Egor, 33 years old.
Generally speaking, reviews of the “parental” service are positive.
Adults note the ease of connection, minimal tariffs and affordability. Difficulties may arise in connection and setting restrictions for the child. In addition, there may be failures in the restrictions and operation of the service itself. For reliability, it is recommended to check the correct operation from time to time. If you identify any difficulties, you can contact the operator and resolve the issue with his help. If our article helped you, please like it!
Increasing package volume
In order not to overpay for communication services, you can configure the designer again and increase the volume of included packages. Then funds will be debited from the phone balance, and minutes or gigabytes will be replenished by the selected amount.
Changing the volume is a permanent option. If you change 15 GB of Internet traffic in the constructor to 20 GB, you will also receive 20 GB in the new billing period. If you don’t want to permanently change the volume of services, you can connect one-time packages or change the value in the constructor to a smaller one before a new billing period begins.
Parental control of calls and SMS
In addition to Internet control for children, MTS offers the “Black List” option. With its help, you can form a safe circle of communication, filter incoming and outgoing calls. It is possible to set a ban on certain numbers, set a schedule, use the Antispam function and notify the parent about the child receiving SMS from contextual numbers.
Such MTS children's control over the phone has a number of limitations. Let's highlight the main ones:
- Parental control applies only to one child (per service).
- The maximum number of children per parent is 10.
- The largest number of rules is no more than 300.
- SMS blocking is not available on “Online”, “MTS Connect”, “MTS iPad” and in corporate tariff plans.
Today this service is available and can be activated for a purely nominal fee.
