How to disable the Internet on MTS: ways to disable all paid and free Internet services

Mobile Internet is one of the most popular services of telecom operators. It is used not only in phones, but also on tablets and laptops. The Mobile TeleSystems provider provides it in tariff plans and as separate options. If included in the tariff, the service is included in the total cost, even if you do not use it. Let's figure out how to disable the Internet on an MTS phone, which method is the easiest, what options are available for deactivating the Internet with various service options.

Disabling paid Internet packages on a tariff

MTS has several types of additional packages with traffic or with the possibility of unlimited use of some Internet services. To disable the mobile Internet package on the MTS tariff, use the following methods:

All of the above Internet services can be disabled not only through the USSD code, but also in your Personal Account (PA) or the “My MTS” smartphone application. To do this, you need to log into your personal account through a browser or log in through a mobile application and click on the “section”, select unnecessary activated options from the list and delete them. “Access to YouTube” can only be turned off through your personal account or the “My MTS” application, since there is no special USSD code to deactivate this function.

At the MTS office

If you do not fully understand how to disable mobile Internet on MTS online or manually, you can contact the operator’s office for help.

In order to unsubscribe from access to the Network, you need to provide a passport. Of course, you need to be prepared for the fact that the consultant will try to persuade you to connect to other services and will begin to offer to replace the current service with a more convenient one. However, if you come to the office with the firm intention of refusing the offer, a specialist will cope with this task within 5-10 minutes.

Disabling Internet packages in roaming

The most popular traffic service used when traveling abroad is Zabugorishche. This option provides the subscriber with profitable calls and Internet, which is consumed from the home package. To disable Zabugorishche, dial the combination: *111*771#. Disconnection, as well as connection, is free.

When staying abroad, you can use a special one. It adds 100 MB of traffic at maximum speed if the limit within the “Zabugorishche” is not enough. To turn off the Internet, you do not need to enter a command on your phone or carry out any other manipulation, since this function will turn off on its own either after 100 megabytes of traffic or after 24 hours.

To turn off the “BIT abroad” option, enter the command on your phone: *111*2222#. To turn off the “Maxi BIT abroad” option, enter the command on your phone: *111*2223#. To turn off the “Super BIT abroad” option, dial the command: *111*2224# or use your Personal Account.

Services to increase volume

Many active users purchase convenient packages that include large traffic, but often increase it during use. Each such increase costs certain funds, which are debited from the balance regardless of whether it is used or not.

How to refuse the increased volume of megabytes if this is no longer necessary? Let's consider a convenient way to deactivate connected volumes:

• 0890 – number for calling from a mobile phone;
• 8 800 250 0809 – special number for calls from landlines;
• +7 495 766 0166 – number for calls from abroad.

Having made a call to one of the numbers presented, you need to carefully listen to the voice menu and carry out the appropriate commands by pressing the appropriate buttons.

Disabling turbo buttons with the Internet

Turbo buttons are used to increase traffic in the main Internet package on a tariff plan. They are designed not only for smartphones, but also for tablets and modems.

Types of turbo buttons: “100 MB”, “500 MB”, “1 GB”, “2 GB”, “5 GB”, “20 GB”, “Maximum speed for 3 hours”, “Maximum speed for 6 hours” . These options do not require special disabling. They are deactivated independently after the limit expires or, if the limit has not yet expired, upon expiration of their validity period.

The table below shows the validity periods of all the above options, as well as reconnection methods and prices in case you change your mind and decide to re-activate additional Internet:

After disabling the turbo button, a corresponding SMS notification will be sent to your phone.

What mobile Internet options does MTS offer?

MTS tariffs:

1. Unlimited for the day . Works only for Moscow and the region: 500 MB of traffic, unlimited speed. Monthly fee 50 rubles per day.

Disabling the Internet on tariffs without a subscription fee

If you are a user of a tariff plan without a subscription fee, then you know that such offers do not include packages with services. If a subscriber needs Internet, he is forced to activate additional options. After activating and using such options, the question arises of how to disable them. Let's look at the options for tariff plans without a monthly fee and the commands to disable them:

1. “Internet Mini”: *111*160*2#;
2. "Internet Maxi": *111*161*2#;
3. “Internet VIP”: *111*166*2#.

To disable additional traffic on all three options, send a message to 1610 with the number “1” (without quotes) or dial the USSD code on your phone: *111*936#. Turn off additional traffic can also be accessed in your Personal Account.

On tariffs without a monthly fee, options such as “BIT”, “Super BIT”, “Mini BIT” are also available. To deactivate the “BIT” option, use your Personal Account or send an SMS to 2520 with the number “1” (without quotes). To restore the option, send the number “2” to the same number.

To deactivate the “Super BIT” option, use your Personal Account or send an SMS to 6280 with the number “1”. To restore the option, send the number “2” to the same number.

To deactivate the “Mini BIT” option, use your Personal Account, dial the command *111*62*2# or send an SMS to 6220 with the number “1”. To restore the option, send the number “2” to the same number.

To disable the archived service (the service is not available for connection in 2021), dial the USSD combination: *111*365# or send an SMS with the numbers “365” (without quotes) to 111.

Call to operator

Instead of a personal visit to the office, you can call your mobile operator at 0890. After connecting with a consultant, you need to inform him of your intentions. The specialist usually requests passport information to establish rights to the number. Then you will receive a notification on your phone that access to the World Wide Web has been canceled. As a rule, SMS arrive within 5 minutes after a conversation with the operator.

The option under consideration has one significant drawback - you will have to spend about 10 minutes on a “virtual conversation” with the robot.

Disabling unlimited internet

Unlimited traffic is provided within. If the unlimited Internet function has been activated on your MTS number, you can disable it via a USSD request: *111*67# or an SMS message with the text “670” (without quotes) sent to 111.

Unlike many other functions that provide the subscriber with Internet and are switched off immediately after the limit is exhausted, this service is reset to zero after 24 hours and the traffic is charged again on a new day, accordingly, the subscription fee is charged every day. Therefore, if you no longer need this feature, disable it as soon as possible to stop debiting your phone balance.

In what cases may deactivation be necessary?

Cancellation of the global network is necessary if the subscriber does not use it, there is little money left in his account, or the person is afraid to use up the main traffic package. Deactivation may also be necessary when the owner of the phone is a small child or an elderly person. It is always possible that an inexperienced person will click the wrong button and go online, losing the entire remaining balance.

Important! Children often access sites that are prohibited for them, containing pornographic or shocking content, so blocking the Internet when buying a SIM card for a child is paramount.

Disabling home internet

Home Internet provided by the MGTS provider can be turned off by calling the MGTS single contact center: 8 495 636 06 36. You can also turn off home Internet at MGTS sales and service centers.

You can deactivate additional home Internet services in your Personal Account on the website or by calling the above phone number.

The MTS company provides its customers with several more tariff plans in the “All MTS” line, which provide the user with mobile communications, home Internet and television. This includes the “All MTS Super TV” and “All MTS” tariff plans. These tariffs can be activated and deactivated only by leaving a request on the official website or at the sales office.

Internet MTS connect

– this is a great opportunity to always stay in touch by being on the global Internet. If you are an avid fan of forums and websites, online toys or other electronic services, mobile Internet is created for you.

MTS LLC offers its subscribers excellent conditions for using the option. MTS Connect includes several possible traffic packages, each of which has its own volume.

It is noteworthy that MTS Connect can be used not only in a mobile phone - WAP - but also through a regular 3G or 4G class modem.

In general, if you want to deactivate a particular Internet package, the best way is to visit the official MTS office, since on-site employees will help you do this in just a few seconds.

If you are not satisfied with the Internet using GPRS technology, you can also disable it by calling the Support Center + “0”.

How to turn off the Internet through your Personal Account

As already mentioned, you can make any manipulation with your tariff plan, including turning off the Internet on it, through your Personal Account. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the MTS provider and click on the “Personal Account” button, which is located in the upper right corner. Then you need to select the first line in the “Mobile communications” pop-up window. On the new page you need to enter your MTS phone number and your personal account password. If you do not have an access code, then click on the line “Receive password via SMS”. An SMS will be sent to your phone with a new temporary access code. Next, in your personal account settings, you can change the temporary code to a more secure permanent password.

On the main page of your account, click on the “Services and Services” tab, then select “Service Management”. All paid and free services you have previously connected or included in the initial package will be listed here. Here you can deactivate any company offer that you no longer want to use.

Complete removal of the function

You can cancel the ability to access the network on MTS by blocking the connection via GPRS/EDGE/3G/4G. Disabling is required, which every subscriber has by default. You can do this not only with the help of specialists, but also on your own.

Using USSD commands

Enter the USSD code *111*401# on your phone and press the call button. After some time, you will receive a message confirming that the Internet and MMS messaging have been disabled.

Disconnect via SMS

To refuse mobile Internet, you can send a message to number 111. In the text of the letter, write the numbers 21220. Within a few minutes, you will receive a response to your phone indicating that the request was successfully completed.

Through your personal account

The most convenient way, since here you can check all the parameters of your tariff plan, view a list of all connected services - paid and free.

To turn off the Internet:

1. Click on the button in the upper right corner - Personal Account.
2. Log in by entering a permanent password or requesting a new one via SMS.
3. On the main page, select the “Services” menu item.
4. Find “Mobile Internet” in the list.
5. Click Disable.
6. Next you need to confirm the operation.

You will receive an SMS notification that the option has been disabled.

Using the My MTS application

In chapter . Next to each item there are activation buttons. Click on it in the desired line and it goes into the inactive position. This means that the service is disabled and data transfer is suspended.

Contacting the office

If you don’t want to deal with services on the Internet, you can contact the company’s specialists directly. When you go to the office, be sure to take your passport with you.

At the request of the SIM card owner, the manager will disable the service and also answer all questions regarding the provision of mobile communications and the Internet.

Another option to contact a consultant is to call 0890. First, you need to listen to the answering machine information, follow its prompts to navigate through the menu and contact the operator.

How to disable the Internet on a tablet and modem

If you use an MTS SIM card in a tablet, then, first of all, you need to find out which services are activated on the number. You can check the availability of paid options using the command: *152#, in the menu that appears you need to select the number “2”, meaning “My paid services”, and confirm this action. If one of the above-described functions is activated on the number, you can turn it off using the same methods as indicated above. If the “MTS Tablet” function is activated on the number, then disable it using the code: *111*835*2#.

On 3G modems, most often, to provide access to the network, a special modem tariff plan “MTS Connect” is installed, on which the subscriber can set the required amount of traffic. But if, nevertheless, the subscriber installed additional internet packages, then they can be deactivated through a personal account on the MTS operator website. In the case of modems and tablets, you can also remove the SIM card from the device and install it in your mobile phone, then deactivate it using the usual USSD command.

Using the My MTS application

The mobile application “My MTS” from the operator is free and runs on Android 2.3 and higher platforms, as well as iOS 7.1 WP 8.1 and higher. If the card is already inserted into the device, authorization will be performed automatically.

Next, in the application itself, you need to open “Services” and set up your account. In it you need to either disable network access completely or disable connected options.

If necessary, you can reconnect the necessary options using the “User Account” or standard commands.

How to turn off the Internet in your phone settings

This is the second way to disable network access, which we talked about at the very beginning. This option will not stop the debiting of funds from the balance if the tariff includes any additional paid packages. But in this way you can protect yourself from accidentally turning on the Internet and consuming traffic, for example, in roaming, in which prices for services are much higher than in your home region.

You can stop data transfer on iPhones in the phone settings in the “Cellular Communications” - “Cellular Data” section. You need to move the slider to the “Off” position. Also pay attention to whether Wi-Fi is connected. If you want to completely disable data transfer, then in the phone settings in the “Wi-Fi” section, also move the slider to the “Off” position.

You can stop data transfer on smartphones with the Android operating system in the settings in the “Mobile networks” - “Data transfer” - “Mobile data” or “Mobile traffic” section.

On Windows Phone-based phones, you can disable data transfer in the settings in the “Data transfer” section. Click on the word "Turn off". Also check the roaming settings in the “Roaming data settings” line. Set the status to “Do not use while roaming”.

Tablet

In the case of a tablet, everything is also not difficult. After all, it also connects to the World Wide Web using a SIM card. And the device itself is essentially the same phone, only grown up.

Temporarily

You can temporarily turn off MTS Internet on a tablet just like on a smartphone. That is:

1. Swipe your finger across the screen from top to bottom.
2. Disable “Data Transfer”.
3. Or find “Mobile data” in “Settings” and turn it off from there.

Forever

If you need to turn off the Internet forever, then proceed as in the case of a modem - just block the SIM card.

Internet access will be disabled immediately after you follow any of our instructions. If you wrote an application at the MTS office, then you need to wait up to 3 days, but usually less.

Combined with other options

When connecting to VNet, you must remember that smartphones and tablets access the Internet automatically. This is needed for updates and settings. If the subscriber uses traffic only to social networks, disabling the main Internet option is not recommended. If it is disabled, you must activate at least the minimum megabyte package. Application updates will be charged according to your plan terms.

The “VNet” option is not compatible with, which is now archived and not available for connection.
