MTS tariff “For laptop” with unlimited Internet

Description of the special MTS tariff for laptops

With the “For Laptop” tariff, access to the network is provided using a USB modem into which a SIM card is inserted. Thus, the client not only gets access to the Internet, but also the ability to make calls and send SMS messages.

The tariff includes the following services:

Unlimited Internet.
Optimal connection speed.
Free incoming calls and SMS.
The ability to make calls and send messages anywhere in Russia.

All this is at the disposal of the person who connects MTS “Unlimited Internet for a laptop”. There are also additional options, which will be discussed further.

Price

The fundamental factor influencing the choice of a tariff plan is the size of the subscription fee and the cost of the services provided, which attracts the company's customers with a more favorable price compared to competitors and a wide range of capabilities.

The monthly payment for the tariff is 750 rubles. (depending on your region of residence, the amount may vary). For this money, a client can enjoy unlimited network access for an entire month at optimal speed, which is enough not only to read social media feeds, but also to watch videos.

Since after connecting to this TP the subscriber receives a USB modem and a SIM card, if necessary, he can insert a SIM card into the smartphone to make calls and send SMS. The tariff price does not include any services other than the Internet. Therefore, you have to pay extra for calls and messages.

The cost of other services according to the tariff:

Outgoing calls to MTS throughout Russia and numbers of other operators in the region of connection - 5 r/min.
Calls to numbers of other telecom operators registered outside the home region – 12 rubles/min.
Sending one SMS message to an MTS number or to a subscriber of another operator in your region – 1.85 rubles.
The cost of an SMS message sent to another region or republic, regardless of the operator, is 2.85 rubles.
The cost of one message to a number registered outside of Russia is 12 rubles.

Call and message rates can be assessed in different ways. For those who plan to regularly make calls from a SIM card designed for modem, the cost will seem too high. But for rare use, the drawback will not be noticeable and will become an excellent bonus that expands the capabilities of the tariff.

How is the tariff fee charged?

Each MTS tariff plan or any other mobile operator has developed a special system for charging subscription fees. For example, there are TPs where monthly payments are not provided, and funds are withdrawn from the balance after performing a specific action. In addition, there are tariffs where the cost is indicated per month, and debiting occurs daily.

The “For Laptop” tariff plan has a stated subscription fee of 750 rubles. This amount is debited every month, starting from the day of connection. That is, if a person activated the tariff on September 22, then the first payment will be made on the same day, and the next one on October 22.

Monthly payment, as many clients believe, is more convenient compared to AP, which is withdrawn every day. This way, the client does not need to worry about having a certain amount of money on the balance sheet. It is necessary to top up the account only by the date specified in the contract. It may change if the subscriber has not made a payment for several days.

Monthly payment debiting applies only to options included in the TP. That is, once a month 750 rubles are withdrawn for using the Internet. When a client activates an additional service, makes a call or sends an SMS, the debit occurs immediately after the action is completed. By sending an SMS, the specified amount will be debited instantly. The same applies to calls that are charged per minute if the conversation lasts more than 3 seconds.

Comparison with competitors

In addition to MTS, other popular operators also offer mobile Internet for laptops and desktop computers. Megafon, Beeline, Tele2, Yota have special tariffs for 4G modems.

Let's look at competitors' tariff plans, compare them with the MTS offer and figure out which will be more profitable.

“For computer” from Yota

Like MTS within the “For Laptop” tariff, Yota offers completely unlimited Internet for its subscribers.

Unlike MTS, here users can choose how fast their connection will be. Options start from 64 Kbps and end at the maximum available in the region.

“For a computer” in Moscow and Moscow Region will cost:

Completely free at 64 Kbps;
850 rub. at 4.1 Mbit/s, which is similar to the option from MTS;
1,400 rub. for connection without restrictions.

At first glance, the MTS option seems more profitable because it costs less at the same speed. But Yota has several important advantages.

Firstly, “For Computer” allows you to use torrents without restrictions. Secondly, there is the opportunity to work at high speed all the time. For those for whom 4 Mbit/s is not enough, this is many times more profitable than spending money on removing the restriction.

In the regions, the situation with price tags is different. For example, in Novosibirsk, a connection at maximum speed from Yota will cost 600 rubles, and a limited option from MTS will cost 700 rubles.

To understand what will be more profitable specifically in your case, go to the operator’s websites and compare prices in your region.

Megafon tariff plans

Megafon currently has 2 current offers for 4G modems - “Your Unlimited” and “Your Internet”.

In the first case, users, like MTS, are offered unlimited 4G for laptops and desktop computers. The second option contains a fixed number of gigabytes, as well as full unlimited use for nightly use.

Conditions of the “Your Unlimited” tariff plan:

Completely unlimited Internet traffic without speed limits.
5,000 rub. for 6 months of use, 9,000 rubles. for 12 months of use. There is no monthly payment.
It operates throughout the country, with the exception of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.
The use of torrents is allowed, but their speed is reduced. The operator does not say how much.

If you pay annually, a month of using “Your Unlimited” will cost you 750 rubles. Thus, 4G Internet from Megafon is both cheaper and faster than from MTS.

Conditions of the “Your Internet” tariff plan:

Works on smartphones, tablets and modems.
There is unlimited access to popular services for navigation, cloud storage, listening to and viewing music, as well as social networks and instant messengers.
Megafon TV is provided with unlimited traffic for six months, a year or for the entire duration of use.
From 1:00 to 6:59 local time there is no charge for connection.

The cost depends on the volume of traffic. 15 GB — 550 rub., 30 GB — 900 rub., 50 GB — 1,300 rub. per month of use.

“For the computer” from Beeline

Beeline offers a classic tariff with unlimited night time and a limited amount of traffic during the day.

“For PC” includes:

30 GB of Internet traffic without speed restrictions;
Unlimited connection from 1:00 to 07:59 local time.

The subscription fee in Moscow will be 900 rubles. per month.

The offer is valid in the home region and when traveling throughout the country, with the exception of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. When connecting in this region, you will be charged 10.95 rubles. for every MB.

“Internet for devices” from Tele2

15 GB, 25 GB or 40 GB for high-speed connection;
Unlimited traffic from 00:00 to 06:59 local time;
Possibility of transferring unspent traffic to the next month.

The “15 GB” service is activated automatically when you switch to the tariff. But you can always replace it with a more suitable one.

The price in Moscow and Moscow Region will be 400 rubles, 600 rubles. or 900 rubles, depending on the selected volume of Internet traffic.

For whom is the MTS Unlimited Internet for Laptop tariff suitable?

It would be naive to assume that the tariff in question is the most profitable in the MTS line and will suit absolutely every client of the company. This is wrong. The subscriber needs to carefully study the terms of service and decide for himself whether it is worth switching to the “For Laptop” tariff plan.

For those who are going to use a SIM card in a smartphone, the tariff is definitely not suitable. Such people need to make a choice in favor of one of several TPs created specifically for mobile devices. But there is also a group of subscribers who will certainly like this tariff and bring extremely positive emotions.

The “Laptop” tariff is suitable for:

For those who do not have access to wired Internet in their home or apartment.
For those who plan to travel frequently with a laptop and want to regularly access the Internet anywhere in the city.
For those who need full-fledged unlimited data, not limited to a certain amount of traffic that is allocated for a month.
For those who, in addition to the Internet, need the ability to make calls and SMS.

In this way, you can form an image of a person who will benefit from the “Laptop” tariff. This is a person who actively moves around the city and needs constant access to the Internet.

Why a laptop with 3G is convenient

Mobile Internet installed on a smartphone, of course, gives the user some access to information on the network. But using a smartphone is difficult. You can’t complete an order to write text even on a flagship device. After all, the number of typos, finger and eye fatigue from a small screen will force you to abandon such an undertaking.

It is also impossible to watch the film. It’s inconvenient, and mobile Internet is limited in terms of package size, which means you should think about another solution to the problem.

A laptop is compact and convenient, with which you can work and relax. The keyboard makes it possible to do typing work almost anywhere, because it does not require a constant connection to the power supply.

Pros and cons of the tariff plan

Any service provided by MTS or another telecom operator, be it Megafon or Beeline, has both advantages and disadvantages. There are no tariffs that can satisfy the needs of all users. However, this does not mean that there is not a person who is completely satisfied with TP. There are such people, but they usually turn a blind eye to the negatives.

Each person has their own pros and cons, which can be attributed to the “For a laptop” tariff. But if you study the opinions of people who have already become acquainted with this TP, it is possible to compile a list of the most frequently mentioned advantages and disadvantages.

Pros:

Works on laptops and computers running all popular operating systems: Windows, Linux, MacOS.
Ability to access the network without being tied to a specific address.
The ability to make calls and send messages, if necessary, using a SIM card to access the network.
Unlimited Internet.
Access to absolutely all services on the network that are not blocked as required by Russian legislation.
Relatively low AP.

Minuses:

The Internet connection speed is quite low, which does not allow you to comfortably watch movies in HD quality.
The connection speed directly depends on the quality of coverage in the populated area (in remote areas where 3G does not reach, the connection works using the outdated 2G standard).
Forced speed limit when downloading files through torrent clients and file hosting services.
Expensive calls within Russia and within your home region.

Visually, the tariff has more advantages than disadvantages. But it all depends on the preferences of a particular client. For some, the speed will be enough to allow them to watch movies in SD quality, while others will be disappointed that the operator limits the ability to download files.

Reviews about the tariff

You can find a large number of reviews about the tariff online, many of which are positive.

The speed is not very high by city standards, but it will come in handy for those who need an Internet source that can provide a constant Internet connection. This is a solution for freelancers, travelers and those who live far from big cities.

There are also negative reviews that often in remote parts of Russia, the speed does not reach the promised one. There are short periods of time when the channel is congested or there is interference due to bad weather conditions. But now this offering is practically the only one in its class, and technical services are working hard to fix problems.
