Review of the MTS Online service: connection features


Almost every person spends most of their time visiting social networks. It is difficult to imagine a user who does not have the appropriate application for communication and correspondence installed on their mobile device. The Mobile Telesystems provider actively cooperates with all popular sites; the result of the partnership is the “MTS Online” option, which provides complete unlimited use of such resources. From the article you will learn how to get it.

How the service works

Ever wonder how you start your day? Most users first pick up a mobile device and start checking what’s new in the world and changes on their social network page. This method of communication has become firmly integrated into everyday life and has pushed voice communication and SMS correspondence into the background. That is why the operator took a step towards merging the two methods of communication and released the corresponding service.

The function allows you to watch news unlimitedly and communicate on popular social networks by sending SMS messages. The service provides access to the following portals:

  1. In contact with. A unique platform for communication and dating with great potential and a package of functions.
  2. Classmates. The very first and most popular resource in our country.
  3. Facebook. The site, which is known throughout the world, is the parent of all modern social networks.

Now, using the service, you no longer need to constantly launch official mobile applications or load a page in the browser. All changes, interesting news and messages from other consumers will arrive in the form of SMS alerts, which you can respond to at any time. Let's look at a small example:

  1. A notification has been sent to your phone number from a community or group that you have subscribed to with a new publication. To leave a comment under this post on the Internet, write a reply SMS to the sender’s contact number.
  2. To reply to an incoming letter in the service from another subscriber, select one of the methods:
  • if a unique identifier is specified in the message, then in the response message it must be written at the very beginning, and only then the main text;
  • if there is no ID, write an SMS to the sender.

Otherwise, the operating features and limitations are as follows:

  1. There is a fixed subscription fee for using the option, which is 3 rubles per day. The amount is automatically debited from the consumer’s balance. If there is insufficient funds, access to key function parameters is blocked until the required payment is made.
  2. There is currently a promotion under which the user receives a 100 percent discount on using the service. After activation, the first 30 days of work are not subject to tariffs. You will receive a warning notice three days before the end of the period. If you do not disable it, the daily fee will begin to be debited from your personal account in the standard mode. When deactivated and restarted, a free month is not provided.
  3. Subscribers who activated the offer before August 15, 2017, pay half the price - 1.5 rubles per day.
  4. Sending SMS is not subject to calculation only when you are in your home region.
  5. Connecting the function is free.

You can set a temporary block to receive notifications via SMS .
To do this, dial the command *111*1006#, after which the control menu will open, select the blocking item. When performing the procedure, all data and settings are saved.

How to set up on social networks

SMS from number 756980

The author ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ asked a question in the Mobile communications section

I received a message on my smartphone with some set of letters from the number 756980. Who is this? and got the best answer

Reply from Google Play Purchase Confirmation.

Many people, not without reason, fear that burglars and hackers will get to their phones, or more precisely, the money in their accounts or bank cards linked to them. If you received an SMS from DCB_ASSOCIATION, then all owners want to know the reason for its appearance. In the article we will tell you what this sms means and what its purpose is. It is immediately necessary to point out that the SMS data is not incoming, but outgoing, which only fuels the panic, because the owner did not send anything on his own. Should you worry?

Where do paid services come from?

Typically, clients independently connect options to their SIM card, but sometimes situations arise when money begins to be debited from the account without the subscriber’s knowledge. This often happens after the trial period ends. When you buy a new SIM card or change your room tariff, sometimes they add paid services that you don’t even know about. They are provided free of charge for 30 days, and after that, if the option has not been disabled, fees begin to be charged. To avoid such a situation, carefully check the list of services on your number after changing your tariff plan. Another common option is to connect paid subscriptions to third-party services. This happens when you click on suspicious links on the Internet or enter your phone number to access blocked content. It’s easy to protect yourself in this case - just read the notes carefully and do not register your phone number on unreliable sites. If you have not visited dubious resources and have not recently changed your tariff, but the money is still written off, the problem may be with the operator itself. All cellular companies from time to time connect paid options to subscribers' numbers automatically. This is often explained by chance or a mistake by consultants. Regularly check which options are enabled on your number in order to promptly notice and disable the paid service.
