How to check the remaining traffic for free traffic distribution on MTS
The easiest way to find out how much traffic is left within the free 3 GB. package, you need to log into your personal account on the MTS website (registration instructions) or open the “My MTS” application on your smartphone and write the phrase “Package balances” . In the response message from the bot, you will receive the rest of the minutes, SMS and traffic at your tariff, and the data after the phrase “Modem mode (Free)” will mean the rest of the free package for distribution.
Option cost
The price varies depending on the tariff you are connected to. If the user has one of the tariffs mentioned below, then payment for the service is free for him.

- Smart Zabugorishche;
- Smart TOP;
- Our Smart;

For users of other TPs, the cost of “Lots of Internet” will be charged every month in the amount of 200 rubles.
It is worth noting that for some tariffs, for example, Smart Top, this service will simply be useless for one reason. The terms of the tariff plan state in advance that the amount of Internet will initially be unlimited. But at the same time, Smart is not included in the list of tariffs that provide free access to a special service.
Tariffing over packages

If the SMS package runs out, the cost of one message within Russia will be 3.50 rubles. SMS to other countries are charged at 8.50 rubles per piece.
Latest news and changes in the tariff schedule
The main event of the past year was the abolition of long-distance roaming. In 2021, all operators finally switched to a new tariff system outside the connection region within the country. The general principle is this: the area in which the subscriber is located becomes home, so calls to numbers in the region of residence can be absolutely free, while connections outgoing to numbers in the region are charged as long-distance calls.
If the tariff includes packages of minutes, free minutes are consumed in the region of your stay. And the most important change is that megabytes of Internet are consumed from the included package when you are outside the connection region.
In 2021, when going to a dacha in a neighboring region or to the sea, you can use access to the network without compromising your budget if your tariff plan includes an Internet package. All incoming calls are free regardless of tariff plan.
Plans without a subscription fee have been completely removed from the tariff line. Over the past 3 years, there has been a tendency for cellular services to become more expensive; you will no longer find the most budget-friendly Smart Mini in the tariff schedule. Tariffs without a subscription fee such as Super MTS, Per Second, RED Energy are also closed for connection. It is no longer possible to switch to these tariffs, but some subscribers continue to use them. You can find out your tariff by dialing *111*59#.
MTS, like other cellular operators, is working to create useful applications for subscribers. Thus, it recently became known that the company is developing the “MTS Who’s Calling” application. Many people are faced with the problem of telemarketing; subscribers are pestered by beauty salons, medical centers and window replacement companies with their advertising offers. The MTS application will allow you to calculate such calls and determine the name of the organization, if it is in the database.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of the service is:
- unlimited traffic;
- affordable connection cost and subscription fee;
- minimal restrictions;
- ability to use anywhere in Russia.
There are fewer disadvantages, and the main one is the inaccessibility of distributing traffic to third-party devices.
The incompatibility of the offer with add-ons that allow unlimited use of social networks and viewing videos deserves additional attention. But, given the features and description of the service, it is impossible to call these disadvantages.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of the option is the ability to get unlimited Internet access from a smartphone for a relatively small monthly fee. This opportunity will be especially appreciated by users who seriously lack the basic traffic packages in their tariff or those who do not want to think about the amount of downloaded/transferred data.
But you need to take into account that the service has significant limitations. The main thing is that you cannot distribute the Internet from it. The disadvantages include a significant reduction in speed for torrents.
An excellent option for those who communicate a lot on various social networks, watch videos or movies online from their mobile phones.
User reviews
Subscribers' opinions were divided; in general, MTS Internet tariffs were recommended by more than 50% of users . Positive reviews are related to the ability to use a mobile device as a modem and the quality of communication (in comparison with other operators in certain areas).
Among the shortcomings noted by subscribers are the following:
- high cost of services;
- hidden conditions that entail additional costs;
- reduction of speed during peak hours;
- small limit for Internet distribution (up to 3GB within the “Tariffishche” plan);
- high tariffs for Internet distribution above the limit;
- drop in speed in other regions;
- technical problems when connecting additional devices.
Internet connection on the tablet
Of course, the services described above are also suitable for connecting a tablet, but it is better to use tariffs designed specifically for this technology.
Technical requirements
First of all, check whether your operating system installed on the tablet supports 3-G Internet.
In addition, you must be within the Internet coverage area of MTS. You can find out if you are in the coverage area by following the link https://www.mts.ru/mobil_inet_and_tv/help/mts/coverage/.
Selecting a tariff and options
The MTS company offers its customers a “Tariff for a Tablet”. You will receive 10 GB per month for this traffic and as a gift you will receive an unlimited destination of your choice. The subscription fee for this service is 350 rubles/month. You can get the service by dialing *111*845# and the call button.
Recently, the MTS Tablet Mini tariff plan has been especially popular. But, unfortunately, it was closed on May 18, 2016.
- Review: (Russia, Simferopol) —
Also, taking advantage of a special offer, you can buy the “Business Context” kit. Thus, with the help of a portable USB modem, you can use the Internet as actively as with your usual Internet access from the office and home.
Below is a detailed description of the tariff plans that you can use if you have a tablet computer.
Below is a list of commands with which you can connect a particular tariff:
It should be noted here that the “MTS Tablet Mini” function is available only to those subscribers who have the “MTS Connect-4” tariff plan activated. As for the “MTS Tablet” option, it is freely available for almost all tariffs.
Settings
To set up your tablet, you need to do the following:
- To get started, open the Settings menu.
- Next, find “Wireless Networks” in the menu (either “Advanced” or “More”). Next, click “Mobile Network” (or “Mobile Networks” or something similar). Select "Access Point" (or "Access Points" or "APN").
- Press the soft key where the square is shown, then select “New access point” or “Create”.
- Enter the settings below:
- Next, press the special soft key with the image of a square and select from the “Save” section.
- Check the box next to the access point you created.
- Reboot the tablet.
Shutdown
Disabling is carried out using similar methods. Those who decide to deactivate should:
- visit your personal account and make changes in it;
- perform similar actions in the official application;
- refuse unlimited traffic by calling 0890.
Additionally, you can visit the nearest communication store and ask for help from the managers working there. They will perform the required actions and help set up billing in a way that suits the visitor.
Not all existing methods of connecting to the Internet are suitable for a private country house or dacha in the Moscow region. For example, optical fiber, which is the main way to organize high-speed Internet, is not the most suitable option for a suburban area remote from the center. The same applies to the Internet via telephone lines. There are only two options that are optimal for a dacha: satellite and mobile Internet outside the city. The popular Russian company MTS is ready to offer both solutions. Before we consider offers from this provider, we will familiarize ourselves in detail with all existing methods of connecting to the Internet.
How to check the transition to a tariff?
How do you know if you succeeded in connecting to the tariff? If you carefully read the description, you should have caught such a moment as notifying the subscriber via SMS. If you don’t wait for the message, then you should call the support operator at 8800 and find out what the catch is.
If you read the reviews about the Smart tariff “For Your Own”, you can conclude that all subscribers have extremely positive impressions. There are no negative aspects in the process. The only thing is that there is not enough free Internet traffic.
Experts recommend connecting additional packages, preferably unlimited, which will eliminate the possibility of debt formation on the account and allow you to save money by using traffic without restrictions.
The Smart tariff plan “For Our Own” is the dream of every subscriber. Previously, one could only envy company employees who had the unique opportunity to use a unique tariff plan for a small fee. Now access is open to everyone. Don't miss the moment - connect!
Existing options for connecting MTS unlimited for a computer
Under the terms of the Internet-Mini tariff, a subscriber can receive 7 GB of Internet for a monthly deduction of 300 rubles. To connect, you need to dial the combination from your phone: *111*160#.
According to the terms of Internet-Maxi, the user will already have 15 GB for doubling the monthly fee, that is, up to 600 rubles. To connect, you must dial the following numbers: *111*161#.
Under the terms of another “Internet-VIP” tariff, the provider already provides significantly more Internet to the user, as it gives 30 GB of daily traffic and unlimited at night. For the same twofold increase in the monthly fee to 1,200 rubles. To connect, you need to dial *111*166#.
But the most interesting option for a computer is “Internet 4 Mbit/s”, since for 750 rubles. the user receives complete unlimited. The only condition is that he must purchase the MTS “Connect 4” tariff and then he will be able to connect to the traffic whenever he wants. However, there will still be problems with file-sharing network resources; it will hardly be possible to download multimedia files at normal speed.
