In order to constantly be in touch and not go beyond the limits of your tariff plan (which will lead to spending extra money), you need to keep under control the amount of traffic used, minutes sold, the number of SMS and megabytes received. The fact is that unlimited calls within MTS are provided after the allocated preferential minutes have been exhausted (250), and until this point even communication within the network counts towards the preferential minutes

Therefore, it is very important to check the spent conversation minutes (including within the network)

If the Smart Mini MTS limit is exhausted, then the tariffs in Moscow become completely different, and the new prices can very unpleasantly surprise the user.

It is also important to evaluate Internet traffic, since after using the tariff megabytes comes into force. It is activated up to 15 times a month, which ultimately results in a fairly significant amount of payment

Tariff connection conditions

According to the description of the MTS smart Mini tariff, outgoing calls are billed on a per-minute basis. Calls with a duration of up to three seconds are not subject to payment. The cost of calls of three seconds or more is rounded up.

Calls to short telephone numbers of the MTS network containing from three to six characters are charged individually. Their exact cost can be found on the official website in the “Short number services” section.

The cost of one minute of outgoing calls to numbers with the code +883140 is 10 rubles.

Calls to numbers of such operators as GlobalTel, GTNT, and Vodafone M2M are charged at 79 rubles per minute.

If the balance is zero or negative, the subscriber will have access to only such services as outgoing calls to MTS service numbers, incoming calls, and receiving SMS messages for 61 days. The provision of services is completely suspended if, after the expiration of the specified period, the subscriber balance does not change to positive.

Modern version

The following conditions apply to the current Smart tariff:

• Service fee – 500 rubles.
• Traffic – 5 GB.
• Minutes – 550.
• Calls within the network are free.
• Messages – 550.
• Calls to numbers of other companies after the end of the package - 2 rubles.

As you can see, the operator has raised the price and increased the packages. Smart remains a fairly profitable plan, and more and more people are connecting to it. You can also select the presented program for further use.

Detailed conditions

The subscription fee for using the tariff plan is charged monthly on the day it is connected. Packages of minutes, SMS messages and Internet traffic are accrued at the time the subscription fee is charged.

When changing a federal telephone number to a city one, an automatic connection occurs. The fee for this service is 304.8 rubles per month.

The web addresses internet.mts.ru and wap.mts.ru are used as access points to the Internet. After the main traffic package is completely exhausted, the subscriber has the opportunity to connect additional packages with a volume of 500 MB at a cost of 95 rubles. When connecting the “Internet-VIP” or “Turbo-button” options, traffic charging is carried out in accordance with their terms.

conclusions

Everything is simple here. There are two main points in the changes:

1. 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.
2. 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.

The essence and description of the tariff plan

This tariff is suitable for those who communicate a lot with subscribers within the network in their home region, communicate little with holders of other numbers (third-party operators) and spend little time on the Internet - these are the users the tariff plan is designed for.

Expert opinion Vladimir Eremeev

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.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the main advantages, users previously highlighted the size of packages for calls and messages. And the amount of the subscription payment fully complied with the conditions provided. The operator then made some changes and replaced the Smart Mini solution with the existing Smart option, which now offers subscribers better terms.

If previously the plan was actively popular and was considered the most optimal option for connection, now in the tariff line you can easily find solutions better than the one under consideration.

Comparison with analogues

Constant competition forces other cellular companies to create unique offers to attract more consumers. The largest providers in Russia have similar tariff plans available. For convenience, we have compiled a table in which we compared similar offers from different operators:

The table shows that offers from all providers are at the same level. MTS is the leader in the volume of free minutes and SMS.

Unfortunately, the contract was open for connection until 09/03/2018. If you installed it earlier, then after turning it off it will become inaccessible to you.

The article examined in detail the terms of the contract from MTS Smart Mini. It represents the minimum sets for voice communication, SMS and network traffic. It is ideal for users who make a small number of calls and communicate mainly within the region of registration.
