MTS services - disabling paid subscriptions and services

Let's figure out what MTS services are available (paid and free), as well as how to independently disable paid subscriptions on an MTS number. Many people are accustomed to mistakenly thinking that MTS is only cellular communications. But the world does not stand still, all areas of activity are developing, and modern technologies help optimize work.

The MTS group of companies provides clients with a large package of services. At the same time, the number of services may include cellular communications, Internet access, and cable television.

What are “MTS services”?

MTS provides customers with services not only for making calls or providing access to the Internet, but also for an additional package of capabilities. The services are designed to improve efficiency and speed. For example, some services can help you save money, while others can help you get unique offers from the company.

Services may include calls, internet, or additional features. But all available services are divided into two main categories. Those that you have to pay for, or those that are completely free.

Home Internet

The Internet on MTS can also be used at home through a wired connection and special equipment. The provider provides its customers with high-speed access at a fairly low cost. The main parameter for evaluating contracts in this case is speed, because traffic is completely unlimited and unlimited. Currently, a consumer can activate any of the following tariff plans:

Cost, rubles per month	450	490	800	1600

Line Mini, Maxi, VIP

This list of services represents additional mobile Internet packages, the size of which can reach significant volumes; they are compatible with almost any tariff plan. The provider has created a unique offer, which is that the consumer can use packages on several devices at once; this distribution is called the “Unified Internet” option. The bottom line is that the user, having connected additional traffic to his smartphone, can share it with another phone or tablet. There are a number of conditions that apply to this service:

Up to 6 consumers can use the shared Internet at the same time.
The initiator's mobile phone must have one of the Mini, Maxi or VIP services installed.
All group members can use up to 50 gigabytes in a monthly period.
Participants receive traffic in portions of 100 megabytes.
You can set a consumption limit for each user.
A consumer cannot be in several groups at the same time.
If the initiator's number is blocked, then access to the network space is closed to everyone.
Subscribers must be registered and located in the same region in which the agreement with the provider is concluded.

To connect to the Internet and start distributing your traffic to other devices, you need to create your own group and add members to it. To do this, follow the following algorithm:

To get started, register a new account in your personal account. After successful authorization, open the number management tab and find the “Internet traffic” link in it.
You will see the status of the remaining available gigabytes at the current moment.
In the main menu, click on the device invitation button.
Enter the phone number of the subscriber with whom you want to share a single Internet. For the first invitation, a commission of 100 rubles will be debited from your balance.
If you are happy with this, confirm the action.

After this, a notification will be sent to your friend’s SIM card with a request to join the group. You are given 15 minutes to receive consent; if during this time the subscriber has not confirmed your entry, you will have to submit the application again.

If you do not want to use your personal account, then simply write a message to the phone “5340” with the text attachment “1 79126662233”, and to remove from the group, instead of one, write the number 0. To completely clear the contact list, send an SMS to the same number with the content “ 0*". Participants can independently leave the group by writing a letter “0” to “5340”, or through their personal account.

All payments and transactions are performed by the split initiator. If you run out of traffic, you can extend it by activating the turbo button. Payment occurs every month on the day the option is activated. If there are no funds in the personal account, the network connection is suspended for all consumers.

Mini package

Let's consider separately all services that expand subscriber traffic. The very first in the line is Mini, an ideal solution for smartphone owners. By activating the option, the user receives 7 gigabytes of Internet per month. This amount is enough for correspondence, communication and watching videos in good quality. The package has a subscription fee of 500 rubles per month. If at the time of making the payment there are not enough funds on the consumer’s balance, 22 rubles will be debited daily until the subscriber is able to pay the entire amount at once. To activate the function, simply dial the USSD code command - *160#. After this, you will receive a connection notification. The option is available for launch on almost all contracts, except for the Smart and Hype line. These are mainly per-minute tariff plans without standard gigabyte packages. After exceeding the standard volume, an additional 500 megabytes are provided; you can extend your traffic up to 15 times a month.

Maxi package

This option differs in its size and cost. The monthly fee of 800 rubles includes 15 gigabytes of traffic. After the kit is completely used up, the subscriber can extend the validity by adding 1000 megabytes of Internet to MTS. They can be taken 15 times in one billing period, until the main package is renewed. If the consumer has not fully spent the established quota, then the balances are not carried over to the next period and are automatically burned out. If there are insufficient funds in the account for the next payment, 35 rubles will be debited every day.

In addition to the listed features, owners of this package receive unlimited consumption of network resources at night. Traffic spent from 00.00 to 07.00 is not charged. Fans of mobile television receive a 30% discount on the MTS TV application. To install the service on your number, enter the combination USSD*161#.

VIP package

For 1,200 rubles a month, consumers receive as many as 30 free gigabytes. The fee is charged each billing period on the day the option is activated. If you cannot pay the specified amount, then 52 rubles per day will be debited from your balance. Remaining balances are not carried over to the next period; they expire automatically. If the standard traffic amount is not enough for you, activate the 3 gigabyte extension for 350 rubles. You will only be able to run the package 15 times per month.

The service includes unlimited and free access to the network at night from midnight to 7 a.m. local time. The application is valid throughout Russia and when traveling around the country, in internal roaming and is compatible with almost all Internet tariffs. Consumers who activate the option will receive a pleasant bonus in the form of a 50% discount on watching TV channels in the MTS TV mobile application.

How to view connected services on MTS?

Users can view what services are connected to MTS communications. As a rule, users do not pay attention to free services, since they do not have to pay for them, and therefore it does not matter what specific services are connected. But paid services should be connected wisely, that is, the client must track which services have been connected to the devices. At the same time, MTS offers several quick and simple options through which you can receive detailed information about all available services.

The first option is to dial a universal number by which you can get information. To do this, dial the phone number *152# and then click on the call icon to start a call. In this case, the user will immediately go to an automatic interactive menu. In the menu you should select the option numbered 2, and after that, select the command numbered 1, which makes it possible to listen to information about all connected services. The information will be received via a message that will contain a complete list of services for which the subscriber pays.

With the second option, you can call up the option to dial a similar number, but then add the number 2 and a hash. In the menu, select the command called option. Data about paid services will also be sent via messages.

In addition, users can obtain information about paid services using the number 0890, which is notified automatically. Or users can use the full format number 8-800-250-08-90. In addition, in the voice menu option, you can select the service management option. If you are unable to complete the operation through automatic help, you can switch to an operator who will provide complete information about all connected capabilities. In addition, it can help connect new ones, disable available options, or simply recommend new useful services.

In addition, the company's clients can log into their personal account on the company's official website and view information about services. There on the website you can view the available offers from the company and choose the best options depending on your own conditions and preferences.

Clients can also use the mobile application, where they can obtain detailed information about all services that are connected free of charge or in paid mode.

If the user cannot figure it out on his own, he can go to the nearest MTS branch and ask telecom operators to check the status of connected services on the phone number. Operators can provide information or advice on how to use features.

How to avoid accidental connection

To prevent accidental connections, it is necessary to use anti-virus programs and control the list of sites to which the subscriber goes. Funds may begin to be debited even after an accidental click on the banner. Another way that attackers connect services is through malware activity.

Operators could block unwanted charges or alert about subscriptions by asking for user confirmation. However, service providers do not do this because they receive a small percentage of each transfer. The law provides for a relatively complex but reliable way to protect against such write-offs - creating a content account. The operator cannot refuse to create it if the subscriber has sent him a request.

After opening an account, all additional services related to third-party content are paid only through it. Subscriptions do not affect your main balance in any way. However, after opening a content account, you need to make sure that it is not linked to the base one. Otherwise, if the additional balance is zero, the money will be debited from the main balance. You also need to take into account that the services provided by the operator are paid through a basic account.

Avoid visiting suspicious sites

It is better to visit only proven resources.

This primarily applies to sites with pornographic content. Most often, users accidentally subscribe to such resources. The warning about debiting money from the account is made as inconspicuous as possible: it is written in a small font, disguised as a background, left at the bottom, distracts attention with erotic images, etc. Marketers understand well how a site visitor will behave and use this to connect paid services.

Often, visiting resources with offers to make quick money leads to the loss of money from an account. News sites with clickbait titles pose a danger. It is not recommended to click on articles with loud headlines. Additionally, this applies to materials that promise quick weight loss with a minimum of effort or easy recovery from diseases.

The user should be wary of warnings about the unreliability of the site if they appear at the time of transition. It is necessary to disable the tab with the resource when the antivirus triggers the content. It is not recommended to click on dubious banners. Unjustified redirects should raise suspicions.

Don't click on links in strange messages

Messages can come either by phone or on social networks, instant messengers or via email. The text can be anything, the main sign of fraud is the presence of links, including hidden ones. Most often, attackers provoke a transition using threats. For example, they inform you that the account has been blocked and ask you to follow a link so that the subscriber can get acquainted with the details.

Another common option is sending SMS and letters about winnings. In this case, the user is hurried to follow the link and is warned that if the message is ignored for a long time, the funds will be transferred to another account. Sometimes on social networks, scammers disguise themselves as company representatives, so you should also be careful when communicating with MTS employees through third-party resources.

Do not leave your phone number in the public domain

First of all, the rule applies to sites with special forms. Developers can, for example, offer the subscriber to get free access to a course of weight loss exercises. Later it turns out that along with the training program, the person subscribed to a diet mailing list, for which funds are debited.

It is not recommended to indicate a phone number on any sites with public information. If attackers hack the resource, they will appropriate the database for themselves. Next, scammers can send mailings to the numbers they receive. There is a high probability that even an attentive subscriber will accidentally click on a link or banner 10 times.

Do not send SMS to unknown short numbers

You need to be vigilant when sending short messages.

Most often, users send SMS to numbers that are displayed in pop-up windows on smartphone screens. Such notifications are sent by operators without specifying the full terms of service. As a result, it turns out that the request is paid. Another possible scenario is that a person was counting on a one-time service, but they signed up for a long-term subscription. The notification did not arrive, so for a long time the user did not know about the connected option.

Care must be taken when working with any service numbers. If you need to order any service through an operator or bank, you need to check the information through the official website. If the name of the resource differs by at least 1 letter (i instead of l), it is better not to trust the data indicated on it. An attacker can leave another number under the guise of an official one.

Prevent installation of unknown applications

Under the guise of an application, malware can get onto a subscriber’s smartphone and begin to independently subscribe by sending messages and calls. It will be difficult to track the reason for the debiting of funds in this case, since most viruses clear the history so that the subscriber does not suspect anything. Users notice a problem when the account remains at 0.

To avoid installing malware, you should stop downloading files from third-party sites. It's better to use official app stores. However, sometimes viruses even get there. To protect yourself, you need to check the list of permissions for the program. If an app asks for access to features it theoretically doesn't need, you should remove it. This applies, for example, to photo processing programs that require permission to send SMS.
