Smart top package: full description

It’s worth noting right away that the smart top tariff is the most expensive package in the smart line. Due to the large monthly fee, it is in demand among a limited number of MTS customers. The tariff offer is available for activation only in large regions of the country; for example, residents of the capital and region can switch to a smart top. For what reason is it not valid throughout the Russian Federation? The fact is that the monthly fee is 1.5 thousand rubles. for 30 days. For other regions of the country, this is a fairly high amount, so not everyone is ready to pay that kind of money for communications.

Reviews from subscribers about the Smart Top tariff plan

Users who have tried this tariff plan report some of its shortcomings. These disadvantages lie in the automatic connection of paid options. Indeed, when switching to a TP, a number of options are activated, for the use of which funds are debited. Therefore, you should carefully study all the terms of the offer and, when switching, immediately disconnect from those options that you do not need.

Also, some users note that the Internet speed in modems and routers drops significantly. However, the operator does not hide the fact that this tariff plan is not intended for modems and in this case advises connecting to the “For Laptop” tariff plan.

Users also highlighted the positive aspects of the proposal. Besides the fact that the packages are really very large and the subscriber does not feel limited, it is also pleasing that the minutes, messages and traffic remaining in the packages are transferred to the next month. Transferred minutes and messages are added to the existing packages in the next month. The transferred traffic is spent first and only then the main package is spent.

Smart Top tariff plan from MTS? This is an excellent choice for active people who need maximum communication and maximum Internet access. It operates throughout Russia. The amount of the advance subscription fee, depending on the region, varies from 1150 to 1950 rubles per month.

What does Smart Top offer?

Smart Top consists of a fairly large package of SMS and talk time. And believe me, to spend them completely, you need to be a very active and sociable person. If we talk about traffic, then in this case the offer is slightly inferior to others. So, smart top provides subscribers with:

• the ability to make calls throughout the country to mts numbers without restrictions;
• 2,000 minutes for all operators;
• 2,000 SMS messages to subscribers in your region.

Even despite the large number of SMS and minutes provided, the monthly fee for the tariff offer may not be the only cost item. If you are used to spending more traffic than the package allows, then the “Additional Internet Smart” function will be automatically activated for you. In this case, for 150 rubles. you get 1 GB of internet at the highest speed.

As mentioned a little above, the Smart Top tariff offer is quite expensive and therefore is not very popular. However, there are subscribers who are completely satisfied with the tariff, and if you decide to connect it, then there are several convenient methods for this, namely:

• dial the combination of numbers on your mobile phone - *111*1026#;
• use your own mts account, go to the “Tariffs” section, select the appropriate one and click the appropriate button to activate Smart Top;
• You can also switch using the “My mts” mobile application;

Shutdown

If “Smart Top” is not suitable, there are many unused package services left for which there is no point in paying, then the offer must be replaced. There are no special commands or numbers to disable the tariff. You need to select another MTS tariff plan and make the transition. After this, “Smart Top” is automatically turned off. To select and activate you can use:

Smart top: disadvantages of the tariff plan

Of course, the ideal tariff simply does not exist, so one can identify certain shortcomings in each. And this package also has its shortcomings, which we will consider. The main disadvantage is, of course, the high monthly fee. For most subscribers, paying 1,500 rubles every month is quite expensive. Yes, in return the user receives a considerable number of SMS messages and minutes for making calls, but can you spend them all? Is it worth paying such a high price for them? If you have a lot of minutes and SMS, then it is best to choose a different tariff, a cheaper one. To do this, just visit the mts website and choose something for yourself.

If the cost of the tariff offer suits you completely, then before activation you still need to pay attention to other disadvantages, namely:

• Smart Top cannot be used for a modem, that is, if you install a SIM card on a router or modem, the speed will be so low that you will not even be able to load website pages;
• Often, due to the inattention of clients, the operator activates various additional services, for which a considerable amount of money is then withdrawn;
• after the main traffic is exhausted, MTS will automatically connect another Internet package (1 GB) for 150 rubles;
• If you find yourself in the Sakhalin or Magadan regions, Norilsk and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the speed will be limited to 128 Kbps.

It is important that you are not connected to additional services that you simply do not need and do not intend to pay for them; after activating the tariff plan, check which ones are connected to your number. To do this, you can go to your personal account or use the “My MTS” smartphone application. You can also call the operator, who can also answer this question and help turn them off if necessary.

Of course, this list of Smart Top disadvantages is not complete. If you read reviews about the tariff plan, you can immediately find out a lot of shortcomings that you didn’t even know about. But in general, the tariff provides subscribers with good opportunities.
