Operators change tariff conditions so often that even the most attentive subscriber sometimes finds it difficult to understand them and remember what remains of the previous ones. After all, they can not only raise the cost of individual services, but, on the contrary, add additional “tricks” to it that make it even more attractive.
Today we will tell you everything about managing a connected tariff plan: how to find out your tariff, view its current conditions, and also change it to another if necessary, regardless of the operator used - MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, Tele2, or Yota.
Tariff management for MTS
MTS quite often changes the terms of its tariffs, introducing “cosmetic” changes to it. It’s not every year that tariffs from the main “Smart” line are archived, but even there tariffs may change.
You can find out your tariff either via the Internet or directly on your phone, and of course it’s free. Without connecting to the World Wide Web, on MTS you need to use a special command that will allow you to find out your tariff - its name will be sent in a reply message to your number.
This option allows you to get the necessary information instantly, but has certain rules for those who use older mobile phone models or those that do not support the Russian language in messages. In this situation, the message will contain unreadable characters, and the fix is quite simple - just translate the operator’s service messages into transliteration by sending the service code.
| Find out your MTS tariff plan | `*111*59#` |
| Switch to transliteration language | *111`*6*2#` |
| Switch to Russian language | *111`*6*1#` |
You can also find out your tariff without connecting to the Internet by calling the operator at 0890. Unlike the information message, you can also listen to information about your tariff and, if necessary, change it.
More opportunities in your personal account on the operator’s website or mobile application. Information about the tariff has a clear form - you can see the conditions of the tariff (for archived ones - the conditions will be presented in a separate file for downloading, and not on the website), see the offers available for connection, and also find out what services are available on your number for additional savings.
Through your personal account
A convenient way if you have access to any device connected to the Internet.
Login to the self-service system is available at this link login.mts.ru. The subscriber number entered in international format is used as a login to access the system. You can obtain an access password here. The same data is entered for each subsequent login.
How can you view your current MTS tariff in this way: go to the “Account Status” section. Current information is displayed in the lower left corner opposite the “My tariff” item.
The same option is available in the “My MTS” application, which can be installed by all owners of tablets or smartphones running iOS and Android. Essentially, this is the same Personal Account, which is functionally no different from the online version on the official MTS website. To find out the information you are interested in, click on the “Tariff Plan” icon.
Beeline tariff management
Like MTS, Beeline offers several ways to find out the connected tariff - by command, by call, or online. To obtain information about the name of the tariff used, you can use the USSD code and instantly obtain the necessary information. If you also want to listen briefly to information about the tariff plan, you need to dial a short number.
| Find out your Beeline tariff plan | *110*05# |
| 067405 |
More detailed information can be obtained on the operator’s website by logging into your account, or use the mobile application, which largely replicates the functionality of the version available on the website.
The advantage of the account is that this method is more convenient for modem users, since you do not need to go to a special menu to send the code. and when connecting through the operator’s network, you do not need to enter login information.
Tele2
Now let’s discuss how to find out what tariff is currently connected to TELE2.
- The USSD command *107# will allow you to receive in a message all the parameters of the tariff plan: name, cost of calls, SMS and 1 MB of Internet traffic.
- Another example of how to find out the tariff on TELE2: dial *108# and call. At that very second its name will become known.
MegaFon tariff management
At MegaFon, you can find out your tariff package using the information portal *105#, which allows you to get all the information about the operator’s tariffs and services. If you are only interested in the current tariff, then you can use the request *105*3#, by typing which you can see its name, and, if desired, request brief information about it.
In the subscriber’s personal account, on the website or in the application, you can familiarize yourself in more detail with the terms of the package used, as well as change it, having previously received detailed information about any tariff offer.
Operator of MTS Russia in Crimea
Immediately after the Crimean Spring, which infuriated many in the international community, Ukrainian businesses withdrew from the region, but large Russian companies could not take the vacated place in the market, under the threat of sanctions. However, a way around the restrictions was quickly found. Officially, serious economic players are not present on the domestic market of the Crimean Peninsula, but behind the scenes they still operate in the Republic through affiliated companies. This applies equally to the banking sector, air carriers, and cellular operators. Regional partners of the Russian company serve MTS clients located in the Crimea.
Important ! For a mobile communications user, such a complex scheme does not create any inconvenience: in Crimea, the tariff plans of the mobile operator MTS remain the same and continue to operate.
MTS tariffs in Crimea in 2021
MTS has developed tariffs for subscribers in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol that can be activated through partner companies.
On the territory of the peninsula, individual subscribers can freely purchase only one type of SIM card - SuperMTS. The numbers of this line are officially assigned to the Krasnodar Territory, and from a formal point of view, communication services are provided specifically to this region.
"SuperMTS"
In this tariff plan, the amount of 50 rubles charged for purchasing a SIM card is immediately credited to the client’s personal account. There is no subscription fee for all communication services with this tariff plan. All incoming voice calls are free, outgoing calls to contacts within the MTS Russia network will cost 50 kopecks per minute. Calls to subscriber numbers of other operators – 10 rubles/min.
“Call free 100.”
This service is also for subscribers of the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Includes 100 minutes for regional calls, another 100 minutes for calls throughout Russia. Subscription fee – 1 rub. 50 kopecks/day.
“Favorite country. Russia".
TP determines the rate of 3 rubles 50 kopecks/min for voice calls to numbers of other mobile operators. The service can be activated for an additional fee of 50 rubles.
"SMART SMS"
TP offers to send up to ten free messages per day, the subscription fee is 2 rubles 50 kopecks/day.
The Mobile Telesystems company has also developed special packages for active Internet users:

Tariff management on Tele2
You can find out the tariff used on the Tele2 number, its main parameters, as well as the cost of basic services without connecting to the network, by dialing the short command *107#, or by calling the short number 611.
Using a short number, you can change your tariff, preview the operator’s offers available for switching, and also get information on them.

Like other operators, on Tele2 you can get the necessary information in your account, or using its mobile version. If it is possible to connect to the Internet, this option is more preferable, since the subscriber does not receive dry information about the tariff (name and brief description), but its detailed conditions.

If we have a tablet in our hands, then we can find out our tariff in several ways:
- Using a USSD command (if it is possible to send USSD commands);
- Using the MTS service application for your operating system;

Does your tablet have a keyboard for dialing numbers? This means that the easiest way is to use the USSD command. No keyboard? Then use the MTS application or the Internet assistant. By the way, applications on tablets (and smartphones) work exclusively via a 3G connection .
Managing tariffs on Yota
On Yota, you can find out your tariff in your personal account on the website or in the application, but you can also manage your tariff using short queries. When using your personal account, you can also use online chat to contact the operator, and if you have questions, ask them to a specialist.

Before the end of the current billing period, you can use the service of connecting an additional package of minutes, disable or activate additional services.
Yota also has an SMS customer support center available at 0999. You can type your question in the text of the message and receive an answer in return.
How to disable the MTS Gudok service? Team
This service first appeared at MTS, and then was adopted by other telecom operators. The Gudok service is quite expensive and is most often imposed by the company during promotions, after which it becomes paid. Write-offs from the balance are carried out unnoticed by the owner, so a decent amount can accumulate per month.
You can disable the dial tone on all MTS tariffs completely free of charge using the following commands:
- In the ussd service, dial *111*29# and press the call button;
- Call 0550 and follow the instructions from the answering machine;
- Use the universal service by dialing 0890;
- On the MTS company website through a special application;
- Contact any MTS office.
Important! When the balance reaches zero, all automatic means stop working. You need to top up your balance and then use this service.
Results
Finding out the tariff from any operator is quite simple, and you can do this even without an Internet connection. The Big Four offers both the use of special commands and obtaining the necessary information by calling a support phone or through a personal account. Yota has a slightly different approach, which is more focused on online support.
Once you know your tariff package, you can familiarize yourself with its terms and, if necessary, change it. Keep in mind that with any Russian operator, changing the tariff is free only if more than a month has passed since the previous change.

Advantages
Sometimes I run out of minutes, which are usually enough within the limit included in my tariff. Previously, I was looking for how to connect additional packages, but now I dial the command *929#, update the package of minutes for the new month and continue to communicate as much as I want.
Now I don't have to save on traffic at the end of the month. I can update the package at any time - I have a lot of Internet again. And at the same time I do not lose the remaining minutes and SMS.
Previously, I had to remember when I was charged for the plan and when I was charged for an additional option. It was confusing. Now I can update the charge-off date for the tariff on the date the option fee is written off - starting from the next month, both write-offs will take place on the same day.
When I need to change the start date of a billing period, I use the Update Package service. So I update the debit date according to my tariff plan and then pay it on a convenient day for me.
