Tariff “Our Smart” MTS. Detailed description

If Internet traffic runs out

Although the “Our Smart” tariff plan already includes 25 GB of Internet traffic, sometimes it may not be enough for the user. In this case, at the end of the basic package, he will be connected to an additional 1 GB of traffic for 150 rubles.

It is possible to automatically connect up to 15 Internet packages per billing month. If this is not enough for the subscriber, he can independently activate the “Turbo buttons” options.

The client can also activate one of the “+Internet” options and receive additional traffic packages monthly.

Important! You cannot share additional traffic packages with other company subscribers.

Additional services

When connecting to a tariff for the first time, subscribers are primarily interested in whether it contains any hidden fees. On the MTS “Our Smart” tariff plan, users should pay attention to two services in the starter package:

1. “They called you!” The operator claims that the service is provided free of charge, but users in their reviews claim the opposite. In fact, the option has a subscription fee of 1.3 rubles. in a day. Only particularly attentive clients manage to notice write-offs of such a small amount. Therefore, after connecting to the tariff, go to your Personal Account and check under what conditions this service is connected to you.
2. "In full confidence." This option does not have a subscription fee, but over time it allows you to go “in the red” by a fairly large amount. Find out more about this service and how to disable it in this article.

Cost of the “Our Smart” tariff

The monthly subscription fee for the “Our Smart” tariff when purchasing a SIM card in Moscow and the Moscow region is 1000 rubles. In other regions the cost may be lower. At the same time, the amount of Internet, minutes, and SMS included in the basic packages may also change.

Services not included in the tariff plan will have to be paid additionally. The subscriber will also have to pay extra if the service packages included in the subscription fee expire.

How to share internet

Purchasing the kit allows you to receive 25 gigabytes of free traffic for the subscriber and the circle of consumers who will be connected to the service. In order for them to take advantage of the package, they will need to be added to the tariff plan. The procedure is carried out as follows:

1. Using USSD combination. In dialing mode, enter *434*<number of the subscriber to be added (friend, relative, etc.)>#. Press the call button and wait for confirmation of the success of the event.
2. Through "Personal Account". The consumer needs to log in to the official website or proprietary smartphone program. Then go to the “Internet” menu item in the service management tab and the “Share” subsection in it. In the form that opens, you must enter the subscriber number.

After the request has been successfully sent, you need to wait for the SMS notification with confirmation and answer it with the text “yes”. You can check the balance for all packages using one of the following methods:

• command *100*1# plus call button;
• by going to the home page of the user's individual page.

To view the list of subscribers added to the group, just dial *434*1# or also go to the operator’s website.

The maximum number of additional numbers is five. For the opportunity to use packages by other clients, a subscription fee of 50 rubles per month is charged. The amount of the fee does not depend on the number of participants.

It is possible to share traffic without creating a common group. To do this, you will need to create a Wi-Fi distribution point in the device. In this case, you will not need to make a contribution, but the quality of communication will deteriorate.

How to connect a tariff

New subscribers can subscribe to the “Our Smart” tariff when purchasing a SIM card in communication stores or when switching to MTS service with their number. For existing clients, there are 4 options for switching to a tariff plan:

• in your personal account on the operator’s website;
• through the My MTS application;
• using the command *111*1025#;
• with the help of an office specialist or contact center.

Reference. There is no fee for switching to the “Our Smart” tariff plan.

Nuances

It is necessary to take into account that according to the “Our Smart” MTS tariff, the description in the regions may change. As an example, our article provides parameters for Moscow. But the company is adjusting conditions in the regions to make its services as accessible as possible to customers.

Therefore, you will have to check the current settings yourself. To do this you need:

• Go to the MTS website.
• Proceed to the plans section.
• Find Our Smart in it.
• Check the conditions for your region.

How to disable the tariff

MTS clients served under the “Our Smart” tariff can turn it off at any time. To do this, simply switch to any other tariff plan open to transition.

Important! Subscription fees already charged for the tariff are not refundable.

The client can completely terminate the contract by bringing his passport to the MTS sales office and writing a corresponding application. If the subscriber’s authorized representative applies to terminate the contract, he must have with him a notarized power of attorney that allows him to carry out these actions.

Similar contracts from other providers

How to find out the remaining traffic and minutes on MTS

The subscriber can use his personal account or application at any time to obtain information about the balance of minutes, Internet or SMS packages. He can also obtain this information using the command *100*1#.

Reference. To obtain information about the balances in additionally connected packages, you should use another command - *100*2#.

The “Our Smart” tariff plan will be of interest to customers who want to share the packages included in the basic set. For example, it is well suited for a family where everyone uses MTS communications.

The difference between the “Our Smart” tariff plan and other tariffs

This offer is far ahead of many other tariffs. The difference from other TPs is that the package volumes here are higher than those of other similar offers with the exception of the Smart Top TP, where Moscow subscribers have access to a much larger number of minutes and SMS, however, the cost of the Smart Top tariff is much higher than that described in this review of the proposal.

The terms of the “Our Smart” TP are economically beneficial. For example, if we consider the “My Unlimited” tariff, it includes 500 minutes and SMS, as well as 12 GB, and all this for 570 rubles per month. If we compare it with the tariff described in this review, then when divided into two people, each will receive 750 minutes and SMS, as well as 12.5 GB of traffic, and all this for 500 rubles from each participant.

Or, for example, a family of three uses the Smart Mini tariff plan, where the monthly fee is 400 rubles per person, while the total amount deducted from the family budget is 1,200 rubles per month. Moreover, the package volumes are smaller - 6 GB of traffic for each and 1050 SMS and minutes.

Rates for voice and text communications

After spending all the packages, you need to pay for the connection after the fact.

Packet separation

The procedure is performed as follows:

• On the device where the tariff plan is connected, you need to enter the code: * 434 * 1 # and press the call button.
• Next, you need to enter the number of the subscriber with whom you plan to share the operator’s services. The process can be completed through your personal account or mobile application.
• An SMS notification about granting access will be sent to the phone number of the subscriber with whom you shared the packages. The subscriber must answer “YES” in the response message, after which the procedure will be completed.

Now packages and traffic are consumed by two connected subscribers. This list can be increased to five users. The cost of connecting additional numbers is 50 rubles/month.

Payment for services when traveling, roaming

Calls when traveling around the country to MTS mobile subscribers are free, calls to third-party operators will cost the user 5 rubles per minute.

Before traveling abroad, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of countries that are partners of the Mobile Telesystems company in roaming. You can view this on the official MTS website, on our portal in the “Roaming” section. You can also use it when traveling, so when you activate this function, all tariffs will be carried out according to more favorable conditions.
