Receiving settings in automatic mode

To connect to the Internet, your mobile phone must have GPRS or WAP. It should be noted that modern models, without exception, are equipped with this option. This is due to the computerization of the population and the full introduction of the Internet into the life of every user of communication services and more. If you have older device models, it is better to first check the parameters before using traffic. In addition, setting up the MTS Internet can be done independently by the user or have an automatic mode. To begin with, it is worth considering the second option, since it is the most popular and easiest to use. If done correctly and correctly, the mobile device will gain access to the World Wide Web. This alone means that the subscriber will be able to communicate on social networks, instant messengers, install and use numerous mobile applications.

There are several ways by which network access is automatically configured.

Call the short number of the mobile operator MTS 0876.
Using the capabilities of your personal account on the official resource of the provider. You should first register in it using your mobile phone and entering a confirmation code, which will be sent in a reply text message to the number. Here you should go to the “Number Management” section, and then select the “Internet Assistant” item. After downloading and opening a new page, you need to find the “Settings” line and after clicking it, select “Internet and MMS”. As an alternative action, you can simply select the “Settings” section in the menu of the provider’s official website located on the left. Next you just have to go through a few more steps. The fields that appear are sequentially filled in: indicate the phone number where you want to receive data, select the specific model of the device used to access the network, the required parameters and their type (WAP, MMS or Internet). Be sure to select the delivery method for auto settings - message. To complete the steps, all you have to do is click the confirmation button, namely “Receive”. Thus, automatic Internet settings on MTS are obtained.
Via SMS. Send an empty text message to contact phone number 1234. In this case, all possible parameters will be sent back to your mobile phone. If you need to request only Internet settings, the text “Internet” is sent, MTS GPRS settings – WAP-GPRS.

If one of the above paths is used, you can be sure that a response SMS will arrive. It will contain data for the device, which must be saved on the device. And these are all the basic steps, after which access to numerous web resources becomes open. There is an indication from the operator that this is enough for high-quality setup.

No fees are required for performing the manipulations, since the procedure is provided to each subscriber completely free of charge. Subsequently, all that remains is to pay for the required amount of Internet traffic to surf the resources. Here it all depends on the user, whether to apply the quota from the main tariff plan or activate additional service packages.

The only requirement that must be met in this case is to reboot the device being used. This is done to fully install all parameters.

There may be times when the specified automatic setting on the device you are using for some reason does not take effect or does not allow you to still access web resources. Then you will have to perform the actions yourself.

Manual settings mode

This setting option is a little more complicated than the automatic one, however, it will help you out if the previous options did not work.

For example, in the MTS Hype tariff plan, a user can count on a full unlimited limit, which applies to all modern social networks and media portals, as well as online games and services: Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, FaceBook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Tanki and many others (see TP characteristics for more details).

Therefore, before setting up the Internet from MTS, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the range of tariff plans and choose the one that best suits your goals. Firstly, it will save money, and secondly, it will open up additional services and opportunities.

Mobile Internet from MTS is one of the highest speeds due to the introduction of foreign technologies and the constant development of the service, since more than 70% of clients choose the company precisely because of this advantage. Quality, speed and price - perhaps this is how the service can be characterized.

Setting up network access

Before connecting to options or tariffs, you need to configure your device. Two methods are used for this:

Automatic setup.
Manual setting.

As a rule, modern gadgets, after placing a SIM card in them, independently configure all the necessary parameters, and as for access to the Internet, the settings are received in the form of an SMS with data. After opening, the client is asked to save the information. When the data is saved, you need to restart the device and you can enjoy surfing the Internet. But this doesn’t always happen; sometimes the SMS doesn’t arrive, and subscribers need to configure everything themselves.

In order to get automatic settings, you must use one of the methods:

You can go to the MTS website, and then go to the support tab. Then go to the phone settings section and enter your mobile phone in the menu, as well as answer the question that will be indicated. Next, you need to wait a few minutes, and the information will be sent in the form of SMS to the specified number.
You can also use another method. For this purpose, MTS has a special key combination *111*18#. After entering, you should make a call to send the request.
Another activation method is to send a message to service number 111 with code 2122.

When the settings arrive, you need to save them and reboot your mobile phone. After this, you will need to check your network access. If access is blocked even after automatic settings, you will need to proceed to manual, independent settings. To do this, you will need to go to your phone settings and go to the mobile networks tab. After that, enter the following information in the lines:

You must put any name in the profile line, for example, MTS internet.
Then GPRS is indicated in the column with data channels.
The address internet.mts.ru is registered as an access point.
MTS is entered in the login and password lines.
The remaining cells should be left unchanged.

Now that access has been established, you can proceed to selecting and connecting services with a certain amount of traffic.

APN access point on MTS

Data transfer is one of the main functions of a mobile device. To connect to the Internet, you need to configure the device to work correctly and correctly, namely, create a new APN MTS. What is it for? Let's consider the main purpose and characteristics of this functional unit and analyze the basic methods for setting it up.

What is it and what does it give

Almost every MTS user needs constant and stable access to the network space. But to do this, you will need to perform a number of settings on the device system, namely, activate a new APN. This abbreviation literally translates as access point. The function is a bridge between the consumer's cell phone and the mobile Internet. If it is not implemented or adjusted incorrectly, you will not be able to consume traffic.

APN is a network identifier with which each smartphone is authorized on the World Wide Web. Typically, mobile Internet services are used through various gadgets, tablet computers and modem devices, all of which must be configured to receive and send data packets on the Internet. All the necessary settings are available from the provider on the official website, and the consumer can manually register the necessary characteristics in the phone system or order automatic ones. Using the APN, a cellular operator can monitor traffic consumption from your IP address, install security measures and codes. Correct setup of an access point gives the subscriber:

The ability to travel across the endless network web.
Exchange MMS messages with other users.
Use applications and WAP services.
Packet radio communication.

Methods for setting up an access point

Now let's move on directly to adjusting the APN on a mobile device. For this, two main methods have been implemented - ordering automatic settings or independent and manual adjustment of the work. Usually, when purchasing a new smartphone or SIM card from a provider, all parameters are already set by default and do not require changes. There are cases when the consumer has to complete a number of procedures in order to receive a package of installations. To submit a request to purchase auto settings, select one of the simple methods:

Go to the operator’s official website on the Internet. Find the help and support section, then open the corresponding tab with automatic characteristics. In the new window, enter the phone number that needs data transfer. Confirm that you are not a robot by taking a short test.

Click on the send button and wait for the parcel. The package with changes will be sent to the SIM card in the form of SMS. To launch it, just open the notification. After this, be sure to reboot the system.
Call the technical support number – “0890”. It works around the clock. On the line, you will hear the voice of an automatic informant, he will announce the exact state of the balance and offer a number of optimizing options and products from the operator. Then you will be transferred to a direct conversation with a consultant. Dictate your contact number, mobile device model and ask to send settings to it. Wait for the notification. Negotiations with a specialist are not subject to tariffs.
Visit your nearest MTS promotion and sales center. Contact a free manager and ask him for help in setting up the access point.

It often happens that the required parameters do not reach the consumer. But don’t despair, you can establish connections yourself. Let's consider the procedure for any type of equipment.

On the phone

Changing characteristics on Android looks like this:

In the main menu of the cellular device, find the settings section.
After that, select the network connections or mobile data tab.
Click on the option to create a new access point.
A window will open in which you need to specify a number of characteristics. Come up with a name for your network - it does not affect the connection. Enter “internet.mts.ru” as the APN email address. Enter your login and security password, they are the same – mts. Set the APN connection type to “Default”.
All other lines are not required to be filled out.
Confirm the changes and save them.

The last step is to reboot your mobile phone. A similar list of actions is quite suitable for smartphones with the IOS or Windows Phone operating system. There is only one difference, each manufacturer creates devices at its own discretion, which means that the location of the main menu elements may differ on different models.

Setting up an MTS access point on a tablet

The process of setting up an access point on a tablet computer is no different from the previous method. After all, in fact, such devices are analogues of a smartphone in terms of hardware and functionality. The difference is only in the sizes and ways of displaying information.

How to set APN on the modem

These devices already have all the settings required to log into the network, so the process of completing the task is more than simple. To be able to get on the network, you need to connect the device to a USB port, wait a little while the software and drivers are installed, and then activate the connection. Although, if you have a universal model at your disposal, then, most often, there are no settings in it. In this situation, you will have to write everything yourself.

The procedure will not take much time. Just go into the settings of our software and look for the appropriate section here. We indicate the standard APN indicators, password and, of course, login, as well as a number that looks like this *99#. All that remains is to save the profile and select the default option. Then we calmly take advantage of the opportunities provided.

Attention!
In the case of universal devices, we may encounter previously configured profiles. We need to select our operator's profile and check its functionality. Anything you don't need is simply deleted.
