Where can I buy a tariff upgrade?

As previously reported, the tariff can be obtained by an MTS employee or his loved one, and a transition to the tariff can also be purchased from sellers on the Internet. The price must be confirmed with the specific seller. Estimated cost: 1300-2600 rubles. Switching by code is more expensive, switching by MNP is cheaper.

Contacts of one of the sellers:

Link – https://t.me/artrico (opens Telegram messenger). Tell us the name of the tariff you want to buy and your region.

Personally, I would recommend switching to the archived version with unlimited mobile Internet. Which, however, you need to know something about. It works when traveling around Russia, but there are other restrictions: you can only distribute 3 GB per month to other devices, after which distribution becomes paid - 80 rubles per day of use. So, in this case, unlimited Internet, it must be admitted, is not at all for distribution. Additional money is not charged for torrents, as on Tariffishche or NETARIFE, but the speed is limited - 128 Kbps.

How to connect smart “For yours” MTS

There are several ways to activate if you have a special code. The most popular one is to enter USSD: “*362*000000*0000#”, where zeros are the personal code. To simplify the task, you should call the short number 3620, where you can activate the code in tone mode. Only individuals can use this service. Before connecting to a tariff plan, you must top up your balance with an amount equal to the monthly subscription fee.

You can activate the tariff by going to the company’s office yourself, where qualified operators will help you carry out the activation procedure. Do not forget to take your passport with you, otherwise the service will be denied.

You can also activate the code through your personal account in the system, having previously registered and in the appropriate section entering the code intended to start using the new tariff plan for free.

Personal opinion

The MTS “Smart for Our Own” tariff is still a good tariff plan. But he is not nearly as attractive as before. Now the non-public “Green” tariff from Megafon looks a little more interesting. You can find out more about it here.

Or MTS “Personal” tariff (non-public version with low prices). Or... yes, many tariffs have a 50% discount, for example, “No overpayments. Maximum”: 1000 minutes to any numbers in Russia, 300 SMS to any numbers in Russia and unlimited Internet with the possibility of distribution for 395 rubles per month (for Moscow, including a 50% discount).

But the old version with unlimited Internet is really good. And you can still go to it...

Connection conditions

To connect this tariff to your mobile phone, you must enter the command *362*000000*0000#, replacing the zeros with the numbers of your code.
You can also call 3620 and connect over the telephone. For the operation to be successful, the number must be issued to an individual. In addition, the phone must first be topped up with at least 200 rubles. A telesystem user who connects to MTS Smart for his own receives 600 prepaid minutes for telephone calls throughout Russia, 600 SMS and 10 GB of mobile Internet. Such conditions were introduced in 2021; previously the package included 500 free minutes for calls, 500 SMS and 5 GB of Internet.

Getting the above benefits for 200 rubles is a very profitable solution, so every day there are more and more people wanting to switch to this tariff plan. If you don’t have relatives and friends working for the operator, then most likely you are interested in how to connect MTS “Smart for your own”? In this case, you can purchase the code via the Internet from individuals; its cost is about 1200-1500 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main pros and cons of the MTS “Smart for Friends” tariff have already been mentioned or described above. But, focusing on the main advantages and benefits of tariffing, it is necessary to highlight:

• impressive package sizes;
• free calls within the network;
• minimum subscription fee.

Among the weaknesses of the proposal, it is important to note:

• using free calls to MTS when calculating the balance of packages;
• restrictions for those wishing to connect;
• the opportunity to meet with scammers when purchasing keys on third-party resources.

No other distinctive features that should be classified as advantages or disadvantages were found, but subscribers are able to independently decide what attracts or repels them in the offer, and personally evaluate the conditions provided by the mobile operator.

How to disable a tariff plan

Unlike connecting, turning off the tariff is much simpler. Firstly, a person can terminate the contract with MTS by visiting the company’s office and choose another telecom operator. If the client plans to stay on MTS, one of the following methods of switching to another TP is offered:

• in your personal account on the website mts.ru or in the mobile application;
• through the voice menu available by calling 0890;
• by sending an SMS or USSD command assigned to a specific tariff plan.

There are quite a few options, but the first one is the most convenient. You will need to go to the company’s website or download the application to your phone, log in using your phone number, go to the “Tariffs” section and click the “Connect” button opposite the offer you are interested in.

Changes in MTS tariffs from February 25, 2021

The change in MTS tariffs from February 25, 2021 will affect the Smart line and a number of archive packages. Tariff conditions vary depending on the region of connection. In the article we will present new conditions that will apply to subscribers in Moscow and the region.

In general terms, almost every package increases the size of the regular payment, and the traffic is increased by an average of 1 GB. Let's consider the changes in each conditions individually, which the provider sent via SMS to each client. Let us remind you: all tariffs are indicated in rubles, including VAT.

Comparison with previous version

As you can see, there are both positive and negative changes. The most important thing is that the tariff has become 50 rubles per month more expensive. For some regions, for example, the Moscow region, it is 100 rubles more expensive. In addition, packages of minutes and SMS have been reduced. On the plus side, unlimited within the network works initially, and the mobile Internet package has been increased from 10 to 20 or 25 GB. But at the moment there is no normal analogue for the old SDS with unlimited Internet.

True, for a number of regions the old codes work, and they activate SDS 062016 with unlimited mobile Internet. This applies to all regions except: Ivanovo and Yaroslavl regions, Chuvashia, Magadan and Kamchatka.

The new version of the tariff is available for 54 rubles per month. What it gives: packages of minutes and SMS at the rate are valid for numbers of other Russian operators. This is certainly great, but it will increase the subscription fee to 304 and 354 rubles per month, respectively.

The MTS “Smart for Our Own” tariff is still a good tariff plan. But he is not nearly as attractive as before. Now the non-public “Green” tariff from Megafon looks a little more interesting. You can find out more about it here.

Or MTS “Personal” tariff (non-public version with low prices). Or... yes, many tariffs have a 50% discount, for example, “No overpayments.

But the old version with unlimited Internet is really good. And you can still switch to it...

Tariff "Smart" MTS - description of the tariff plan

Cost of services

There is a monthly fee for using the “Smart for Friends” contract, the amount of which is only 200 rubles. Compared to other similar offers, this is a very low price. Funds will be debited from the subscriber's balance at the time of the transition, and then it will be charged every month on a certain date when the tariff plan was activated. If the user does not have sufficient funds, access to data packages is blocked. In the future, the amount of the subscription fee is summed up from the added additional Internet or other services.

Calls

For a regular fee, the owner of this offer from MTS receives 600 free minutes, which apply to the numbers of all communication providers within the same contract region. Outgoing calls to Mobile TeleSystem numbers are completely free, even after going beyond the established set. If you have spent all 600 units, the pricing will look like this:

1. In the home region, calls to all directions cost 2 rubles per minute.
2. Long-distance voice communication - 3 rubles for all networks.

SMS and MMS

If the standard package is not enough, you can activate additional options that will expand it to the desired size. MMS messages cost the usual price, as on all other tariff plans - 9.90 per message.

Internet

For a monthly period, the consumer is credited with 10 gigabytes of free mobile traffic. It is enough for unlimited communication and negotiations on social networks, listening to music and watching videos. After the end of the set, you will be offered an automatic replenishment of 500 megabytes for 75 rubles. There are 15 such extensions available per term of use. After which you can install other profitable Internet services from the provider. Unfortunately, unused gigabytes are not carried over to the next term and automatically disappear.

Advantages and disadvantages
