Flexible tariff “My SMART” from MTS, configure it as you wish

The MTS operator decided to release an alternative replacement for the “My Unlimited” tariff plan on September 21, 2018. In fact, the old tariff was disabled and new opportunities appeared. In today’s article we will discuss how to connect to the new “My Smart” package, its key advantages, and give a reasoned answer to the question: Is it worth switching to this tariff for those who are currently on the old “My Unlimited”?

My Smart tariff cost

Once you have used up your minutes limit, you will still be able to make unlimited calls to other MTS numbers within your home region and other Russian territories. If you've run out of internet megabytes and there's still a long wait until next month, you don't need to worry about it. The “My Smart” tariff took care of everything in advance. You will be credited with an additional package of 1 GB in the amount of payment of 150 rubles. If this is not enough to calmly survive until the replenishment deadline, you can use the “Turbo button” option. This is how access to the Internet is restored, because after using up 1 GB, of course, the connection to the network will be blocked. If you do not want to automatically renew your traffic, then dial on the numeric keypad: *111*936# and press call.

After the end of the packages

• Calls to MTS numbers in your home region are free, unlimited,
• Calls to MTS numbers in Russia - 3.70 ₽/minute;
• Calls to mobile numbers of other operators or landline numbers in your home region - 3.70 RUB/minute;
• SMS messages to any numbers in your home region - 2.20 RUR/SMS;
• After the Internet traffic package is exhausted, an additional 500 MB package is automatically activated. for 99 ₽ (Automatic provision of additional packages can be disabled in your personal account or via USSD command *111*936#);

How to connect or switch to a tariff

It doesn’t matter whether you buy a SIM card or switch to “My Smart” from an old package, in any case, at first you will be provided with 15 gigabytes of Internet, 400 minutes and SMS. After going through the connection stage, you can always choose an individual configuration if you do not like the basic conditions. This means that it is quite possible to pay the cost yourself and receive the services that satisfy you most.

Activation of the service is possible without payment. But there is a certain condition: at least 30 days must pass since the last tariff change. Otherwise, the cost will be 150 rubles.

There should be enough funds in your account to debit the new tariff and for switching to it. For subscribers served on other tariffs, there is a specific algorithm for transition actions:

• Let's dial the USSD command: *111*3888#.
• Personal account via the website.

• You can use the MTS application.

• Contact the official representative offices of MTS.
• Contact technical support by telephone.

If you have previously used the services of other operators, but want to try “My Smart” without changing your number, you can do this using any available method. The easiest way is to buy a new SIM card.

You can get detailed advice about the tariff, transfer and payment methods by calling: 8-800-250-0890.

Tariff connection methods

Any MTS subscriber can switch to this tariff plan. The transition is carried out after dialing the key combination *111*1024# and pressing the “Call” button. Payment for using the tariff plan is charged according to the advance method. Funds are withdrawn from the subscriber's account at the time of connection. The transition to the “Smart 092018” tariff is free of charge.

Roaming abroad and when traveling around Russia

This means that when you come to another region of the Russian Federation, this region automatically becomes “home” for you. This is followed by a change in the conditions of the current tariff. That is, a call or SMS is charged according to the conditions of the current region in which you are currently located. Calls and SMS are counted according to “long-distance conditions”.

Of course, the “My Smart” tariff is also changing: you can use minutes of calls or SMS messages only in the region where you are currently located. After the last minutes have been used up, outgoing calls remain free to any MTS number.

When visiting other cities, use. There are some extensions to the possibilities of use and the ability to call or send messages to your home number.

Cost of roaming service across the country

• Incoming calls are not charged.
• Long-distance calls to MTS numbers are also serviced free of charge, but if you call to third-party operators, the cost per minute is 5.5 rubles. SMS - 3 rub.

As for the mobile Internet, it works in literally all regions of the Russian Federation. However, each region may have its own restrictions on the use of the mobile network. If we take the far north as an example, there, due to non-standard coverage, the Internet speed can reach only 128 Kb/s. MTS does not cover Crimea at all, which means that when you are in the Crimean Republic, you will have to use the “My Smart” tariff under completely different conditions.

Connect if you want to remove all restrictions. At the same time, the terms of the tariff will remain the same as in other parts of Russia.

Another beneficial solution is. If you are abroad and periodically keep in touch with someone at home, then this service allows you to save money. Payment is charged if you actually make a call, send an SMS message or access the mobile network.

Is it worth switching

If you are still using the archived version of “My Smart”, then it’s definitely worth it. It makes no sense to overpay for exactly the same set of services. As a bonus when switching, you will also receive unlimited instant messengers through the “My Messengers” option, which is provided free of charge in the updated tariff. In general, the tariff is normal, it can compete with the “Internet” tariff from Megafon or “First Gigs” from Beeline, but even the new Smart is noticeably inferior to the “My Conversation” of Tele2.

This is when compared with tariffs of the same level from different operators. Well, if you do not plan to leave MTS, we recommend taking a closer look at the company’s more favorable non-public tariffs. We have a separate article on them: The most profitable non-public MTS tariffs, which few people know about.

How to disable a tariff plan

For example, you are tired of the current “My Smart” tariff and decided to disable it completely, or you simply will not temporarily use the current services. Then there are two alternative solutions: block the contact number for up to six months; change the current tariff to a more suitable one;

The advantage of temporary blocking is that you will not be charged and you will keep your contact number at the very moment when you do not use this tariff. The suspension of the contract is carried out through your personal account or with the help of the manager of the MTS communication salon.

Disabling the monthly fee for the “Smart 092018” tariff from MTS

The MTS “Smart 092018” tariff is focused on the convenience of the client and his financial capabilities.

The tariff plan provides two payment methods:

1. Monthly payment of 400 rubles, withdrawn on the date of first connection.
2. Daily payment in the amount of 17.5 rubles/day.

The transition to the second type of debiting is carried out automatically in the event that the subscriber’s account does not have the amount necessary to pay for a full month of communication use.

You can return to the monthly payment type by topping up your account with 400 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages of the tariff my smart mts

Naturally, each tariff plan has its own set of pros and cons. Here are the benefits of “My Smart”:

• You can choose your package size yourself.
• Within the MTS network, calls are unlimited.
• You don’t have to pay for communications if you have MTS Smart money.
• Traffic operates in all regions of Russia.

Of course, “My Smart” also has the other side of the coin:

• Whether you've used up your data, minutes, and messages or not, it's a new month and a new supply of resources. But at the same time, old megabytes will not accumulate, as well as minutes from SMS.
• Conversations on the intranet also consume free minutes.
• SMS messages are used next. Today, many people communicate through Viber or Messenger and many other instant messengers. Accordingly, why pay for SMS when you can write via messenger for free (only Internet traffic is charged).
• In your region of residence, you will not use up your call minutes, but you have to pay separately for calls to other cities.
• At the moment the tariff is activated, other functions are added, which after a while may become paid.

A detailed review and additional information about “Smart 092818” and the terms of its use can be read on the tariff plan page at www.mts.ru.

Eventually

Once again they are trying to force subscribers to pay more for fewer services. Eg:

• The cheapest package “My Smart” is 200 minutes and SMS and 10 GB. Internet - 500 ₽ per month;
• The cheapest package “My Unlimited” is 300 minutes and SMS and 4 GB. Internet - 480 ₽ per month;

Everything seems to be correct, they reduced the minutes, added internet and the price is almost the same, but on the “My Unlimited” tariff, 300 minutes are valid for calls throughout Russia, and on the “My Smart” tariff - only on calls at home. Do you feel the difference?

Another example: All subscribers on the “My Unlimited” tariff were connected to the popular service for free. This is no longer available on the “My Smart” tariff and this option is already available for a fee of 4 ₽ per day.

As a result, I do not advise those subscribers who use the “My Unlimited” tariff to connect “My Smart”. It will be “stupidly” more expensive. “Sit” on your tariff until MTS starts forcibly transferring everyone.

As for the rest, you need to look individually and consider which of the current MTS tariffs is more suitable for each specific subscriber.
