Customer Reviews
- Gennady, Minsk, 43 years old. The operator is satisfied. Communication is high quality and reliable. I have been using it for many years and recommend the operator to my friends and acquaintances. The operator offers a large number of various subscriptions; among this list there are the necessary options that need to be connected. I really like the company’s range of TPs, there is plenty to choose from.
- Polina Yurievna, Gomel region, 62 years old. For many years, the company's subscriber. I had to change numbers more than once and purchased phones in installments for myself and relatives. In general, I am satisfied with the quality of the services provided. I am offended by the fact that special promotional offers are valid only for newly connected clients, and there are no offers for regular customers. It's a shame.
- Vladisal, Borisov district, 27 years old. I have been using the operator's services for 5 years. Lately I have been dissatisfied with the tariffs, and besides, I bought a meizu m3 note phone on my own. The phone's screen turned yellow. The company refused to repair, looking for excuses (in my case, a scratch on the back panel and dust). Be careful!
The truth about unlimited Internet in Belarus - watch this video:
Description of the MTS Smart tariff plan
The “Smart” tariff is ideal for active customers who often use both communication services and the Internet. The monthly cost of the tariff plan is 400 rubles for Moscow and the Moscow region and 300 rubles for other regions of our country.
The subscription fee is not too high, even quite affordable. What did MTS prepare for us for such a sum? What to do if the service packages are not enough for a month? Let's try to answer these questions.
Tariff plan "Smart" offers:
- 4 GB of Internet traffic for subscribers from Moscow and Moscow and subscribers from the regions
- Free calls within the network both at home and while traveling around the country (after the package of minutes is exhausted)
- 200 minutes of communication with subscribers of other operators in your region and MTS subscribers throughout the country
- 200 SMS for communication both within the region and beyond.
On the MTS website you cannot immediately find all the information about the tariff plan. It is available only after downloading a special file: it is on the tariff page. In addition to the prices for additional services, a lot of different information is given there, since each tariff has its own disadvantages. But let's go in order. First, let's look at the prices for communication services within the packages, and later we will move on to discussing the secret conditions.
"Internet only"
Tariffs for modems and tablets. The Internet on them is unlimited, but at full speed only a limited traffic limit is given. The line consists of three offers:
- “Unlim S” – 8 GB, after exhaustion unlimited at speeds up to 512 Kbps. Price - 11.9 rubles/month.
- “Unlim M” – 15 GB, unlimited at speeds up to 1 Mbit/sec. Cost – 16.9 rubles/month.
- “Unlim L” – 30 GB, after exhaustion – up to 1 Mbit/sec. Subscription fee – 23.9 rubles/month.
Money is written off daily in equal installments. Each of their tariffs includes 79 TV channels. You can activate options to increase speed and unlimited traffic on YouTube.
Payment from MTS
If you spend significantly more monthly on these packages that Smart offers, it is better to choose a more suitable TP for yourself. However, there is a way to "expand" packages if they are quickly depleted. More on this below.
Expert opinion
Vladimir Eremeev
Journalist. Specialist in mobile services and tariffs of mobile operators.
Did it happen that you used more than 4 GB of Internet, spent more than 200 minutes on calls or sent more than 200 SMS? It is possible to extend the tariff by paying an additional fee.
Only calls to MTS subscriber numbers will remain free for you. For calls to phones serviced by third-party operators and sending SMS, funds will be debited. You will also need to pay extra to extend your Internet traffic.
Also, for the Smart line, not all services are included in the tariffs. This can also lead to expenses beyond the subscription fee. To avoid misunderstandings, it is important to carefully read all the information on the additional fee. We have compiled it specifically for your convenience.
Cost of services above the package of minutes:
- Upon exhaustion of the package of minutes (200 minutes), one minute of conversation with a user of another operator within the region - 3 rubles
- SMS 2 rubles 20 kopecks per piece.
- Calls outside your region to other mobile operators - 5 rubles per minute
- Communication with subscribers in the CIS countries - 35 rubles per minute
- Communication with subscribers in European countries - 49 rubles per minute
- Communication with residents of other countries - 70 rubles per minute.
Payment for services in addition to Internet traffic:
- After you have exhausted all the traffic provided, an additional 500 MB service will be automatically activated for 95 rubles.
Payment for services above the SMS package:
- Sending SMS within your region - 2.20 rubles per SMS
- Sending SMS to other regions and while traveling around the country - 3 rubles per SMS
- Sending SMS to international numbers - 8 rubles per SMS
You can keep track of how many minutes, SMS and gigabytes of Internet traffic are left for later use on the MTS website.
conclusions
Everything is simple here. There are two main points in the changes:
- Adding the “possibility” of daily payment. If you do not have enough money for a new subscription fee, then instead of blocking the number you will be charged a daily subscription fee, which is much higher. Top up your balance on time or pay more. It's simple.
- Increase in subscription fee. Just like that, MTS decided not to upgrade the subscription - the mobile operator added to the bonus something that would not be a pity - a little mobile Internet.
A few years ago I could have said that this was very bad, and how could operators do this, but not now. This is a standard practice of mobile operators - to change the conditions on tariffs, raising their prices.

Mobile operator Velcom Belarus is a reliable company that offers its customers optimal service conditions at a competitive price. Having studied the existing Velcom tariffs, each subscriber can choose the one that best suits his needs and lifestyle. Tariff plans from Velcom include in their description the most clear and transparent connection conditions - here you cannot encounter hidden additional fees or unexpected debits from your phone balance.
The “Comfort” tariff offer from Velcom was developed and announced back in 2021. This is due to the constantly growing need of modern subscribers for unlimited and stable Internet access. The use of social networks, instant messengers and other services installed on the phone is the reason for the rapid disappearance of traffic and the burning of gigabytes.
Velcom’s “Comfort” tariffs are a redesigned line called “Smart” that the provider previously had. The purpose of creating the offer is to maximally satisfy the needs of Velcom customers in Internet traffic, as well as the opportunity to significantly save on voice communications. Calls made within the 3G network are not subject to tariffs. The main condition is that the mobile device must support 3G communications.
The line includes several tariffs, which will be discussed below.
Suitable for those who surf the Internet not too little, but also infrequently, for example, mainly communicate on social networks. One gigabyte of traffic can be used to navigate online maps, play online games and view photos. The “Comfort” tariff from Velcom includes an unlimited amount of communication within the 3G network, 100 minutes for other subscribers and a gigabyte of Internet.
A subscriber using Comfort 2 has access to expanded capabilities, a larger volume of traffic, and therefore a greater number of options for spending time on the Internet. This tariff from Velcom for two gigabytes allows you to watch videos, download photos and listen to music. It includes: unlimited communication on the 3G network, 200 minutes for communication with clients of other companies and two gigabytes of Internet traffic.
Suitable for active Internet users who often use social networks and video hosting sites. A Velcom client receives a large amount of traffic and included minutes in addition to unlimited 3G communications. The tariff includes: unlimited communication in Velcom space, 300 minutes of communication with subscribers of other operators and four gigabytes of the Internet.
Another proposal that cannot be ignored. It will appeal to Wellcom subscribers who regularly use the mobile Internet and constantly download applications, music and videos. This includes: unlimited communication in the Velcom 3G space, 400 minutes of communication with other subscribers and eight gigabytes of network traffic.

In addition to prices, you can find a lot of other interesting information there. Each tariff plan has hidden conditions and the Smart MTS tariff is no exception. We suggest that you first familiarize yourself with the prices for communication services within the Smart tariff, and then we will move on to discussing hidden conditions.
The cost of communication services on the Smart MTS tariff
The Smart tariff plan provides for various fairly large packages of minutes, SMS and Internet, but this is not enough for all subscribers and sometimes additional costs cannot be avoided. Of course, you can connect to a different tariff, but even this does not guarantee you the absence of additional costs. Not all communication services are included in Smart tariffs, so sometimes expenses are inevitable. In order not to be surprised by incomprehensible write-offs later, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with detailed information about the prices provided for by the Smart MTS tariff.
The Smart tariff provides the following prices:
- After 500 minutes per month, the cost of one minute of communication with a subscriber of another network within the home region will be 2 rubles;
- Calls to numbers of other operators outside the home region will cost 5 rubles per minute;
- Calls to CIS countries - 35 rubles per minute;
- Calls to European countries - 49 rubles per minute;
- Calls to other countries - 70 rubles;
- After the Internet traffic package is exhausted, an additional 500 MB package is connected for 75 rubles;
- SMS to mobile phones in your home region after the package is exhausted - 1 ruble;
- SMS to mobile phones in other regions of Russia at home and while traveling around Russia - 3.80 rubles;
- SMS to international mobile operators - 5.25 rubles;
- MMS to mobile Russian operators - 6.50 rubles.
Smart and Business class
Velcom has two more advantageous tariff offers for active and business subscribers, which should be mentioned.
Business Class
This is a premium tariff from Velcom, profitable and convenient for those who are used to always having access to stable communications and quality service. A user who subscribes to “Business Class” receives an unlimited number of minutes for voice communication and fast, reliable Internet. The only drawback of the offer is the rather high cost.
“Business class” will be appreciated by subscribers who have an active lifestyle and the need to always be in touch. The tariff includes unlimited communication on the network and sending messages in any volume, as well as minutes for communication with subscribers of other Belarusian operators and international calls.
Conditions of the Business Class tariff on Velcom:
No restrictions on the amount of traffic on the Internet at 3G speed;
Unlimited calls within your region;

Message for 4.36 rubles to phones of other operators;
MMS for 16.35 rubles;
300 minutes for calls (package for the CIS and European countries);
Benefits for roaming and long-distance calls.
The described fare offer is as convenient as business class when flying on international airlines. It is able to satisfy the most demanding needs of subscribers who have the right to call various numbers without thinking about the cost of the service. This becomes most relevant in roaming, when the price of incoming and outgoing calls increases significantly. Mobile Internet here is also excellent - it is unlimited and has excellent speed.
The monthly subscription fee for using “Business Class” from Velcom is 108.89 rubles. The day the payment is debited is set in accordance with the tariff activation date. When concluding an agreement with Velcom, the client must make an advance payment.
Premium tariff users can take advantage of a bonus: they can choose any phone number they like at a good discount. The numbers can be platinum (five identical digits in a row), diamond (last four digits) or gold (alternating six digits).
The tariff plan called “Smart” is one of the most advantageous offers from Velcom. The monthly fee is fifty-five rubles. By paying this amount, the subscriber can use the following services:
Unlimited Internet traffic;
Free communication in the Welkom network;
Free sending of SMS messages to other Velcom clients;
Free SMS sending via the Velcom network;
1000 minutes to communicate with subscribers of other Belarusian operators.
Additional costs for customers who have connected Smart:

Video communication (outgoing calls) – ten kopecks;
Messages to subscribers of other operators in Belarus - five kopecks;
MMS within the country - six kopecks, abroad - twenty-seven kopecks.
The tariff has some features that you should find out about in advance, so as not to waste time solving problems and finding out unexpected information:
Forty rubles will have to be paid to the person who buys a SIM card, changes the tariff or restores service by Velcom;
The subscription fee is debited daily - thanks to this, subscribers avoid overpaying for communications if they connected at the end of the current month;
For the first time, the daily fee is debited from the account on the next day after “Smart” Velcom was connected.
Disadvantages of the Smart MTS tariff
The Smart MTS tariff provides good conditions, but do not forget that each tariff plan has its own disadvantages. The official MTS website describes only the positive aspects of the Smart tariff, without any information about its characteristic disadvantages. Hidden conditions for the tariff can be found in a document with a detailed description of the tariff plan, which can be downloaded on the MTS website or here.
If you do not want to look for hidden terms in this document yourself, then the information below will be useful to you. We carefully studied the MTS Smart tariff and identified all the hidden conditions. Which ones are significant and which ones are not is up to you to decide.
The Smart MTS tariff has the following disadvantages:
- The package of minutes available within the tariff for calls to numbers of other operators (500 minutes in most regions) is spent not only when communicating with subscribers of other networks, but also when making calls to MTS numbers outside the home region. After the package is exhausted, calls to MTS Russia will still remain free, but you will have to pay for communication with subscribers of other networks.
- If you have recently changed your tariff, you will have to pay extra to switch to Smart. In addition to paying the subscription fee, another 200 rubles will be withdrawn from the account.
- The Smart tariff cannot be used in modems or routers. If you install a SIM card with a tariff in the modem, you will not be able to fully use the Internet. The speed will be limited to the extremely low speed. Considering the size of the Internet traffic package, it is difficult to call this drawback significant, but you should be aware of this limitation.
- After the monthly Internet package provided with the tariff has been exhausted, the subscriber will automatically be connected to additional Internet packages within the “Additional Internet Smart” option until the main package of the tariff is updated. The volume of the additional package is 500 MB and will cost you 75 rubles.
- When located in the Sakhalin Region, Norilsk, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Kamchatka Territory, Magadan Region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the speed within the included volume of 3 GB is limited to 128 Kbps.
- If the subscriber’s balance becomes equal to or below zero (but not lower than minus 300 rubles), then for the next 61 days he will only have access to incoming calls, receiving SMS and calls to MTS service numbers. In this case, during the specified period, a write-off for / “ occurs in full. If after this period your balance does not exceed 0.01 rubles, the possibility of receiving these services is terminated.
- Failure to receive funds to the subscriber's Personal account within 61 days after the expiration of the above-mentioned 61-day period of funds in an amount sufficient to achieve a positive balance on the Personal account, or the subscriber's failure to use paid services within a period of 61 days will mean the subscriber's unilateral refusal to execution of the contract.
- From January 20, 2016, when you connect and switch to the Smart tariff, it will automatically connect. The service is provided free of charge and is valid for 30 days. The operator promises to automatically disable the service after the free period expires, but we advise you not to rely on the operator and do it yourself if you do not need this service.
Of course, we have not listed all the disadvantages of the Smart MTS tariff. We have provided only information that has been confirmed. If you believe the reviews of subscribers, then the tariff has many more disadvantages. MTS, like other operators, never ceases to amaze with its greed and continues to impose additional costs on subscribers in various ways. If you know other disadvantages of the tariff, be sure to share this information with other subscribers in the comments.

Tariff parameters
The parameters of this tariff plan differ in different regions, so we will consider it using the example of a specific region - Moscow and the region.
Let's take a look at the tariff parameters on the official MTS website:
- Subscription fee – 550 rubles per month (Until February 25, 2021 – 500 rubles per month).
- Mobile Internet - 6 GB per month (until February 25, 2021 - 5 GB per month).
- Package of minutes – 550 to all networks in Russia.

- Tariff plan parameters when traveling around Russia (national roaming) are the same as in your home region. But when you activate any of the services (Internet, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS), the “Tariff is valid throughout Russia” will be automatically connected. It is this function that allows you to communicate outside your home region “Like Home,” and it costs 15 rubles. If the next day MTS communication services are activated again, you will again be charged 15 rubles. Officially - “for expanding the coverage area of tariff packages.”
- Outgoing calls to any MTS numbers after the end of the package of minutes are free.

- The remaining packages of minutes, SMS and Internet are transferred to the next month.
What's worth noting? This article was written on January 6, 2021. At this moment, there is no news from MTS regarding changes in tariff plans, and there is also no information in the description of the tariff plan. But in the detailed description, located in the PDF file, it is written that for subscribers who switch to the tariff from January 15, 2021, the Internet package will be only 3 GB.
All Velcom tariffs: how to choose the best
Tariffs for Velcom include a wide selection of various operator offers. Any subscriber can choose a tariff plan that will fully satisfy his mobile communications requirements, without overpaying extra money for unnecessary services or large packages.
In 2021, Welkom in Belarus updated its line of Comfort tariffs. This is the optimal combination of call minutes and traffic in three different volumes - small, medium and large. At the same time, conversations between Velcom subscribers are free and have no time limits.
Personal opinion
The tariff is quite reasonable, especially with the transfer of packages to the next month. The subscription fee could be a little lower, but that's okay. This tariff plan is not very suitable for traveling around Russia, since you will have to pay to expand the coverage area of the tariff packages - 15 rubles every day of using communication services.
Also, the tariff will become less attractive from January 15, 2021, as the mobile Internet package will be reduced (for those who connect to the tariff or switch to it starting from January 15). And 3 GB of mobile Internet for 500 rubles per month is not very much.
Again, it’s hard to say whether I would use this tariff or not, since my tariff plan is much more profitable. But previously I had to use Smart, although the conditions there were completely different. Now I could recommend Smart, but only with five GB of mobile Internet, and not three.
Tariffs "Comfort"
This is a universal line of tariff plans with a subscription fee and service packages. They vary in package size and the price is set accordingly.
The line consists of three operator offers:
- Comfort S – 50 minutes of calls + 1 GB of mobile Internet. 11.90 rub/month.
- Comfort M – 100 minutes + 7 GB. 19.90 rub/month.
- Comfort L – 300 minutes + 15 GB + unlimited for social networks and instant messengers. 25.90 rub./month.
The cost of the tariff is debited from the account every day in equal installments. Outgoing calls to Velcom numbers are unlimited, they do not consume minutes from the package. The limit is given only for calls to numbers of other operators. To increase the GB package, additional options are available. The remaining traffic is carried over to the next month.
In the article, all prices are indicated in Belarusian rubles.
