MTS Cinema is a special service from a well-known mobile operator that allows you to watch your favorite films and TV series without endless viewing of advertising.
The main advantage of the mentioned service is accessibility and the ability to choose. Subscribers are offered a large collection of films and attractive connection conditions. The operator provides a trial period for which you do not need to pay, and the issue of using the Internet has been thought out. Clients located on the MTS network will not waste precious traffic on downloading videos; it is not taken into account in the total amount of gigabytes consumed.
These options provide access to a collection of films and TV series on the portal kino.mts.by. Additionally, users are provided with:
- mobile Internet traffic not taken into account by the operator (other sources of Internet traffic are paid according to the rates of providers);
- multiscreen option, which allows you to use the option on several devices (connection of 4 devices is allowed, including laptops, tablets, smartphones and Smart TV);
- no advertising.
Another advantage of the option will be the video quality – Full HD.
iPhone
If you subscribed from an application on your iPhone, then to refuse to have your card charged for the next month, you will need to use a device with the same Apple ID. This must be done before the end of the paid period.
Procedure to cancel your iPhone subscription:
- Open settings, select a valid Apple ID to disable paid Start.
- Go to the Subscriptions section. Find the Start service in the list provided. Click on the subscription price and cancel it.
The start will remain in the section until the free access ends. Therefore, continue to use the services.
“Movie of your choice” allows you to cancel your subscription to the collection, replacing it with purchasing access to a specific blockbuster. Users are allowed:
- pay for the rental of the movie you like for 48 hours (after the specified time has expired, access is blocked);
- or purchase the opportunity to watch the film forever.
The exact cost and other features of the video are indicated in the catalog on the website. At the same time, the price will be affordable for most MTS subscribers in Belarus. There will be no difficulties with the process of paying for film rentals (the exact procedure is described below).

Price
The cost of the Home Movie service will be 0.25 rubles per day.
Prices for Mobile Cinema are set at the following level:
- starting 7 days upon first connection – free;
- after the end of the free period and when reconnecting, 35 kopecks are debited per day;
- people who connect are able to use the option without paying.
The price of film distribution is mentioned above: the exact amount of the video purchase should be clarified in the catalogue. Money is debited from your phone balance automatically, so before activating the service, it is recommended to make sure there is a sufficient amount in your account.
Disadvantages of the service
Like everything in this world, the IVI service has several disadvantages, in particular:
- The resource's video player is not well thought out. Many users are not satisfied with the rewind function, which is automatically set in 10-minute increments. That is, in order to return to a moment missed 2 seconds ago, you will have to watch a 10-minute segment of the film again;
- Most video content can only be viewed by activating a paid subscription. After the two-month trial period, a monthly fee of 13.3 rubles will be deducted from the account daily. If there are insufficient funds in the account, the subscription is suspended until the balance is replenished and the subscription fee is charged. As a result, the monthly payment for using the service is 399 rubles.
- On devices with Apple and Android operating systems, the application often crashes.

How to disable “Mobile and home cinema” on MTS?
To disable options it is recommended:
- send a message with the letter R or r to service number 2020 (option for smartphones), 2080 (home cinema via the Internet);
- dial the USSD command *202*0# or *208*0# on your phone;
- Call the contact center and ask the operator who answers to deactivate the service.
It is worth adding that those who decide to abandon the service should take a closer look at MTS’s alternative offer – the ivi online cinema. But before that, you will have to carefully study the conditions for obtaining access and payment for the cinema.
Disabling paid subscriptions from mobile
So, we figured out how to connect a paid service. Now let's deal with the shutdown.
If the subscription was connected in the smartphone application, then the general disconnection scheme is as follows:
For iOS device: Open the App Store app. Go to “Account” and select “Subscriptions”. In the list of active subscriptions, disable all unnecessary ones.
For Android device: Open the Google Play app store. Click “Menu” (three bars in the lower right corner), then “Payments and subscriptions”. Subscriptions will be at the bottom of the screen.
IMPORTANT! Before you go looking for connected subscriptions, make sure that you are logged in to the exact account from which you connected them. When you have several accounts (for example, personal and work), subscriptions to them are not duplicated, unless you have connected the same thing several times.
