Whether we like it or not, after installing a SIM card of one or another operator (MTS is no exception), dozens of users begin to solve the main question: how to block advertising on the phone . In order for the solution to this problem to be the least time-consuming, you should know:
- Each subscriber, by purchasing a SIM card, agrees to receive advertising information.
- You have the right to refuse to receive advertising SMS, even if the operator tells you to refuse directly. Next, we will describe everything in more detail step by step.
- SMS advertising is divided into parts. Therefore, you need to turn to at least three options on your gadget to remove annoying spam.
Who sends out advertisements
Mailings are carried out by:
- Cellular operators - they promote new services and send informational SMS;
- Partners of mobile operators – work in the field of mobile subscriptions;
- Advertising campaigns – collect subscriber databases by sending them advertisements;
- Entrepreneurs and companies use their own databases to send advertisements to customer numbers.
MTS promotes new services and tariffs through mailings. The operator has every right to do this, since when signing the contract, subscribers agree to receive this information. If you don’t like newsletters, call MTS and ask a consultant to remove the number from the general list.
Partners work on mobile subscriptions - this is not advertising. The subscriber agrees to receive the newsletter by sending a USSD command. In response, he receives an SMS with the ordered information - this could be a weather forecast, exchange rates, horoscopes and much more. Subscriptions are not advertising, but content with voluntary subscription. If you don't like it, disconnect it and don't subscribe again.
Natural spammers fall into the following category:
- Representatives of legal and insurance subscribers questionable insurance and legal services;
- Financial companies – the latter call more often than they write. They offer participation in the stock and foreign exchange markets;
- Installers of plastic windows - in 2012-2014 the amount of advertising from them went off scale;
- Developers and construction companies promote apartments, cottages and other real estate.
They send out advertisements en masse, using databases of numbers. Remember - advertising received without the consent of the subscriber is illegal. We will tell you how to punish such advertisers.
Other companies that are not included in the list also engage in illegal mailings - they operate in a variety of fields.
Legal entities and entrepreneurs who have received permission from clients have every right to send advertising. A typical example is that a person applied for a discount card at the Romashka boutique and gave his consent in writing by filling out a form. After this, the Romashka boutique receives the right to send advertising messages. And MTS has nothing to do with it, if you want to unsubscribe, contact Romashka.

Disabling mailings from MTS
Newsletters from MTS contain useful information. But they piss off every tenth subscriber. To opt out of advertising, call 0890 and ask a consultant to remove you from the mailing list. There will be no more advertising, but there will be no useful information either - for example, about changes in the tariff used. Think about what is more important: a silent phone or awareness.
Self-deactivation in your personal account
To get rid of informational messages, enable it in your personal account. It will eliminate operator advertising. Cost – 0 rub/month, connection – unlimited.
MTS has another useful one. It is activated through your personal account. Functions – blocking advertising SMS. It's easy to use:
- Activate the service through your personal account;
- When you receive an advertising message, redirect it to the toll-free number 6333;
- Get recommendations for getting rid of ads.
Every message sent to number 6333 is a complaint about unauthorized advertising. The complaint must be made within 24 hours after receiving the advertising SMS.
Indicate in the SMS text the number from which the advertisement came. This can be a numeric or alphabetic number.
Mobile subscriptions are also disabled in your personal account. They appear in the "My Content" section. Go to the section, click “Active subscriptions”, disable them. The flow of information SMS will stop. But we have already said that subscriptions are not advertising.
Deactivation via USSD commands
The MTS network has a universal command for disabling subscriptions on the phone. Dial *152*2#, after a couple of seconds a list of active subscriptions will appear on the screen. Unsubscribe from them and get rid of intrusive information messages.
Call the operator or visit the MTS office
MTS specialists will help you disable advertising SMS from your operator. Contact the nearest service office; you must have your passport with you. Tell the consultant about the problem, show advertising messages. An MTS specialist will check the number and turn off operator advertising. It will also get rid of annoying mobile subscriptions.
We recommend connecting immediately. It will block access to paid content and information messages. There is no subscription fee.
Removing ads on Android TV
And so, let's get down to business. In order to disable advertising on a TV running Android OS (Android TV Box and other set-top boxes), follow the following instructions:
Go to settings
Go to the “Network” tab and select advanced settings.
Disable the “get IP automatically” lever and scroll to the very bottom. Next we see the line “DNS”, click on it and enter this DNS address “176.103.130.130”. Press the “ok” button on the remote control.
All! It is done! Advertising is disabled. But there is a small nuance that is very easy to fix. Not all users have the menu described above. If it differs from your menu, don’t be upset, but try using the instructions from AdGuard:
- In the control menu, click on the “Settings” icon.
- Select the “Wi-Fi” item. A screen should appear with a list of available networks (DNS setting is not available for mobile networks).
- Long press on the current network to bring up the menu and click “Change network” in it.
There are devices on which you will need to click “Advanced settings”. In order to access changing DNS settings, you need to switch “IP Settings” to “Custom”.
Next, you should change the “DNS 1” and “DNS 2” fields. We enter the following into them:
- 176.103.130.130
- 176.103.130.131
That's probably all for now.
Disabling mailings from other companies
It is more difficult to remove advertising from third-party companies - your personal account and USSD commands will not help. Act directly - find the company’s contacts, call the contact number, ask to exclude the number from the mailing list. But first, let's define legality.
The newsletter is legal if the recipient has agreed to receive information messages. For example, a subscriber made a purchase at Romashka LLC and issued a discount card, indicating in the application his consent to receive advertising. He needs to call the company and revoke the permit.
If the subscriber has not contacted Romashka LLC, he can file a complaint with the company or write a statement to the Federal Antimonopoly Service. Such advertising is illegal.
How to block SMS messages on your phone
To block ads on your phone, use the blacklist. Add the numbers of annoying senders to it and forget about them. We also recommend turning off notifications about messages blocked by the blacklist.
How to block SMS advertising from MTS on your phone
Are you tired of receiving text messages from various banks, merchants and companies? Moreover, the cellular operator MTS has nothing to do with this, since the mailings come from third-party companies. This issue can be resolved using the unsubscribe service from SMS mailings, which is provided by.
As you know, advertisements are sent from alphabetic numbers (alpha number in Latin letters) or from short numbers. All this can be blocked using a set of SMS requests that are sent by the subscriber to 4424.
How to get rid of advertising on MTS forever
Follow our recommendations:
- Enable “Antispam” in your personal account and send all annoying advertising to number 6333;
- Do not indicate your number in forms for discount cards (or indicate the first one you come across);
- When posting advertisements on boards on the Internet, use temporary numbers. For example, MegaFon has a subscription fee of 1 ruble/day for such cases;
- Prohibit receiving information SMS from the MTS website.
These measures will allow you to get rid of advertising messages forever.
Any means are good in the fight against advertising – blacklists, special services. But you also need to observe the so-called “digital hygiene”. Do not allow your number to be used to receive advertising - carefully read everything you sign. Also, do not leave your contacts on public resources.
Advantages of ad blocking from MTS
“Ad blocker” prevents annoying advertising content from being shown while surfing the Internet.
How does it work
The option works at the network level. When loading a site while surfing the Web using the MTS mobile Internet, it closes third-party advertising, leaving the structure of web services unchanged.

Sometimes users experience that advertisements continue to appear. This happens if a browser, video service or other resource promotes its product. This content is displayed due to technical issues.
In some cases, the reason for advertising to appear is the lack of Internet access.
Advertising posts will be displayed if they are embedded in page content or in streaming video.
The service is incompatible with such MTS options as “Antivirus”, “Internet Control”. Child", "Safe Childhood: Child".
The blocking only works when accessing the Internet via the mobile Internet from an operator. When connected to Wi-Fi or other mobile operators, it stops blocking intrusive content.
