In 2021, MTS offers its subscribers a large range of tariff plans and even a tariff designer that you can customize to your needs yourself. But even under such conditions, a situation may arise when you do not have enough traffic - or, on the contrary, there is a surplus of Internet. What to do in this case? Let's talk more about the Internet from MTS. Let's figure out whether it is possible to sell extra gigabytes of traffic, how to give them to other users, and also in what ways you can connect additional Internet.
How to extend MTS traffic by 100 MB
To extend traffic by 100 MB on your phone, you must enter the combination of characters: *111*05*1# and press “call”. The connected service will be available for one day (from the moment of connection) or until the traffic is used, if this happened in less than 24 hours. After one day, this option is disabled by the operator.

If the additional traffic package has been exhausted, the user has access to a line of Turbo options - button.
Turbo button 100 MB

- the entire additional limit has been exhausted;
- 24 hours have passed since the service was activated, even if there are megabytes left in the account.
You can use the Turbo button resource while moving throughout the country. As soon as the subscriber enters the international roaming zone, payment for the Internet connection will be made according to the connected contract.
Additional access for the phone is always used up first, even with the existing basic Internet package. This should be taken into account if the subscriber actively connects options for accessing the virtual space.

Conditions for receiving additional megabytes to your account
All subscribers, using any tariff package, can use not only the main network package, but also various special services. You can connect not only additional gigabytes, but also other functions. According to the standard conditions of any MTS operator package, you can add volume automatically after the end of the allocated limit. For most major plans, this option is inexpensive. For example, for the “Smart” tariff, adding 500 MB or 1 GB will cost from 75 to 160 rubles, depending on the selected tariff.
Regardless of which Internet tariff package in the Moscow region at the MTS dacha you are currently using, you have the opportunity to take advantage of additional options that allow you to automatically activate traffic in an amount from 500 MB to 1 GB.

Subscriber reviews
Thanks to the general recommendations from the mobile operator Tele2, it is easy to understand how, if necessary, to easily connect a profitable Internet package to your phone or USB device. Despite this, in real life everything is much more complicated and somewhat different than what the company presents. In order to be convinced of this, it is worth reading people’s reviews about the Tele2 operator and its services.
A week ago, I decided to increase and restore my Internet traffic balance on the “Very Black” tariff to its previous state. I entered the code *155*181# with the hope of receiving three gigabytes, but only 1GB came. The support center said that the combination is not for my region.
Alexandra Zimina
I decided to add traffic to Tele2. The “Black” line of tariffs allows you to do this using a single command or using the turbo button. This is to some extent convenient for me, and besides, I received the entire number of gigabytes that I ordered. In addition, I called the operator to find out how to increase the Internet speed. He advised me to upgrade my tariff plan to a more expensive one, but at the same time beneficial for me.
Nina Likova
My phone constantly receives intrusive offers to connect 1 GB of Internet on Tele2.
At the moment, I have 1.75 GB on my balance, to which access is blocked from time to time. To use them, they require me to pay for the next gigabyte. Why do I need it if I have unspent 1.75? And if, because of such brazen extortion of money, I do not want to renew the service, my balance of 1.75 GB will remain inaccessible to me? That is, TELE2 will essentially steal them from me.

How to extend traffic by 5 GB
To extend the traffic by 5 GB, the subscriber needs to dial the combination of characters: *169# and press “call”. The service is valid for a month or until the Internet is used in full, if this happened in less than 30 days. After one month, this option is turned off automatically.
The cost of 5 gigabytes of traffic is written off instantly and amounts to:
City | Cost for 30 days, rub. |
Moscow | 450 |
Voronezh | 350 |
Samara | 350 |
Which service should I choose?
The choice of option depends on how often the subscriber requires additional megabytes of the Internet and in what quantity. If he regularly exceeds the monthly limit, and uses the Internet to watch movies and download music, then it is better to activate “Auto-renewal speed 5 GB”. If, however, regularly exceeding their monthly traffic, the client accesses the network solely to view websites (read news, find out the weather forecast or traffic jams, etc.), it is better to activate “Auto-renewal 100 MB”.
will be more beneficial for those subscribers who need additional Internet periodically. When they themselves will be able to connect the option at the right time.
Extend traffic by 20 GB
In order to extend your Internet traffic by 20 GB, you must enter the key combination: *469# and press “call”. The connected service is valid for 30 days or until the Internet traffic is exhausted, if this happens in less than a month. After one month, this option is disabled by the operator.
The cost of 20 gigabytes of traffic is written off instantly and amounts to:
City | Cost for 30 days, rub. |
Moscow | 900 |
Voronezh | 500 |
Samara | 500 |

Another solution is to use a more capacious tariff with a larger volume of traffic. There are several of them in the MTS Smart line and among independent products:
- “My Unlimited” – from 5 to 30 GB at the subscriber’s choice, regulated via personal account, monthly fee – from 480 to 1110 rubles/month.

An MTS subscriber, depending on his needs, can activate additional functions to extend Internet traffic to the extent that he needs. You can do this yourself without leaving your home, either on a mobile device or on a computer. When connecting one of the above functions, try to more accurately estimate the amount of traffic you need and the type of option so that you don’t have to spend extra money.
Tariff conditions and their advantages
Tele2 is an international telecommunications company. It began its active work as a mobile operator much later than its competitors. The first SIM cards were sold only in provincial cities, but this did not stop the company from entering the list of leaders and today have millions of people using their services.
The reasons for this rapid increase in popularity are mainly due to three factors:
- Inexpensive subscription fee with favorable tariff conditions. So, for example, for 150 rubles you can get a decent amount of Internet, many minutes for conversations within your home network and about 300 free messages.
- Honesty of the company. A new subscriber who has just issued a SIM card never receives additional paid services and subscriptions.
- Convenient self-service. This allows people without special skills to independently manage their number through an Internet service or ussd commands.
Despite all the amenities that are created solely for the comfort of subscribers, there are some significant disadvantages. For example, one of these is the absence of a tariff with unlimited Internet. Because of this, many people panic, constantly calculate expenses and quite often check the remaining traffic, because it can suddenly end abruptly.
Today, the only sensible solution to this problem is the correct selection of the tariff to suit your needs.
"Turbo button": types and description
Often users do not have enough traffic, which is included in their tariff package. In such a situation, you can use it, which will allow you to use the Internet when your allocated limit has run out.
There are two main types of this option:
- With a set amount of Internet traffic. The additional package is valid until the entire limit expires, but not more than one month.
- With a time limit. You can use the additional volume for only a few hours - the connection speed is maximum, and the traffic itself is unlimited.
Among MTS subscribers, the most popular option is “Turbo buttons” with limited traffic. You can extend your Internet traffic by either 100 MB or 20 GB.
The main advantages of the "Turbo button" option:
- Payment for connection to the service is debited immediately upon connection.
- When several options are connected simultaneously, all traffic is summed up, and the period of use is counted from the connection date of the last connected option.
- If the “Turbo Button” is connected to the main package, where there is unused traffic, the Internet traffic of the “Turbo Button” is immediately used.
- The “Turbo button 100 MB” option is valid for one day after connection, all others are available to users for one month, or until all the allocated traffic is used.
