Expert opinion

Journalist. Specialist in mobile services and tariffs of mobile operators.

At the moment, TP is the cheapest of those presented by MTS. Of course, there are other tariffs without a subscription fee (for example, Guest), but tariffs of such a plan do not imply the presence of connected packages with additional features for the user, which significantly reduces the audience of their consumers.

Like most of the company's offerings, the Smart tariff also has certain disadvantages. You may not have enough available packages for a month of use and will have to pay for additional minutes or Internet traffic. In order to accurately determine whether this tariff is suitable for you, you need to familiarize yourself in more detail with its full list of services and their payment.

Characteristics of MTS Smart Mini - functionality

People who prefer to communicate only within their region can save on mobile communications. The Smart Mini MTS tariff includes a minimum volume of Internet and message packages, so for subscribers who rarely use these services, this is the optimal solution.

The functionality of the service package includes:

Important! Some packages may include a more limited set of minutes and messages, typically 200 units each

However, the proposal also has disadvantages. The connection is beneficial only to those customers who do not often use cellular communications. Because a limited set will not satisfy requests. Accordingly, there will be additional costs that often exceed the cost of the established subscription fee.

Prices for services after exceeding the limit

3. Activate it using one of the proposed methods.

Cost of services above packages

As part of your tariff plan, you will receive kits for SMS correspondence, voice communication and Internet traffic. They have a limited volume, and after it is exceeded, per-minute charging for mobile communications automatically starts. Let's consider each type of communication and its prices separately.

Challenges

For outgoing communication, the provider allocates a package of 350 minutes, which is valid for all telephone numbers within the region of registration and MTS throughout the country. The rest of the calculation features are as follows:

1. All incoming calls from all communication directions are not subject to tariffication.
2. If you exceed the established package limit, voice communication over the internal network in your home area is free, and over a long-distance channel, one minute costs 2 rubles.
3. Calls to contacts of other cellular communication companies within your hometown cost 2 rubles, and across the country - 14 rubles.
4. If you decide to use a landline phone, you will have to pay a subscription fee of 900 rubles.
5. The remainder of the package that has not yet been used up is burned by default at the end of the billing period.

Messages

For messaging, a set of 350 SMS is provided, which are consumed only in the registration area. After its consumption, the following conditions apply:

1. Incoming messages are free.
2. Sending one SMS to all phone numbers in your home region costs 2 rubles.
3. SMS correspondence in a long-distance direction costs 3.8 rubles.
4. Messages to other countries via international channel - 8 rubles.

Internet

2 gigabytes of network traffic are allocated per month to any resources on the World Wide Web. If the current quota is exceeded, an additional set of 500 megabytes is connected automatically. For renewal, a payment of 95 rubles will be charged. During one billing period you can perform no more than 15 such procedures. After which access to the Internet space is blocked until the start of the new month. To avoid this situation, the provider has implemented a special Turbo button service, which provides additional traffic packages with a certain validity period.

If you do not need to extend the standard quota, use the command *111*936#. All unused kit units are automatically canceled and are not carried over to a new month.

From a contact center specialist

You can contact a contact center employee. Necessary:

• Call 0890.
• Wait for a specialist’s response.
• State the reason for the call.
• You can choose a program in advance, or consult a staff member.
• He will make the connection himself, or send instructions in the form of SMS.

The key disadvantage is the long response time. In the evening you will have to wait up to 10-20 minutes, in the afternoon - up to 5-7. Therefore, subscribers are less and less likely to use the help of specialists on this issue.
