Smart MTS. Description of the tariff plan
According to the conditions of 2021, the “Smart” tariff from MTS is the opportunity to make unlimited calls within the network. This tariff will be convenient for customers in that it allows them to receive the optimal amount of services and have complete information about the MTS Smart tariff. According to the tariff conditions, the client receives a package of minutes for calls to SIM cards of MTS and other operators, as well as traffic for accessing the Internet. Inexpensive communication prices and an Internet package attract many users to connect to Smart from MTS.
In Moscow and Moskovskaya the cost of the tariff is set at 400 rubles. The MTS Smart tariff for 400 rubles per month provides the following package of services:
Unlimited | calls to SIM cards from MTS throughout Russia |
200 minutes per month | calls to all SIM cards in your home region |
200 SMS | sending to clients in your home region |
5 Gigabytes | high speed internet MTS |
Roaming abroad and communication when traveling around Russia
Free calls within the MTS network throughout Russia.
Within the region of destination, tariffs are the same as in the home region. Inbox is free.
When calling from another city (home):
Incoming - 5.50 rubles - for 1 minute of conversation.
Therefore, when you are in another Russian city, it is better to call yourself and call back those who are trying to reach you. Tariffs for calls from the region of residence are similar to calls in the home region (see above).
SMS to any numbers in other regions – 2.95 rubles.
Crimea and Sevastopol are outside the MTS national roaming coverage area, so you will have to pay for communications in accordance with the conditions of roaming in Crimea.
If you are abroad?
As soon as you cross the border, it will connect. Throughout 2018, it cost subscribers 450 rubles per day!
It is more convenient to use the “Foreign” option. The daily payment ranges from 320 to 390 rubles per day, depending on the country of residence. Your outgoing calls to Russia and the Internet will be spent according to the tariff plan .
Cost of the “Smart” tariff in the regions
On average in Russia, the subscription fee for use is 400 rubles. The cost of the tariff may vary depending on the region of residence of the client.

The tariff is not suitable for:
- online games for computer;

Novosibirsk has one of the smallest limits on Internet traffic in Russia on this MTS tariff.
If the traffic on the tariff has run out, the MTS Smart 4g tariff provides for an automatic increase in Internet traffic by 500 MB for 95 rubles. The service is provided 15 times during the month.
Important! You can disable the automatic Internet renewal feature. To do this, dial the command *111*936#✆.

- visiting the “My MTS” application and independently switching to the tariff.
The choice of method depends on the specific preferences of the client.
How to disable a package

You can stop using this package on the official website, to do this you need:
- go to your personal account;
- click on the item “tariffs and services”;
- go into it and choose another offer.
By dialing the following USSD command on your phone: *111*1024#. You can change the tariff for free only once; subsequent changes are paid. You can also change it at your nearest mobile phone store. After you show the specialist your passport and tell us about your wishes, he will perform all the necessary operations. You can also make a change using SMS; to do this, you need to send an empty SMS to the short number 6262 and further instructions will be sent to your number in response. It’s easy and convenient to change your plan in the “My MTS” mobile program.
The Smart tariff plan is considered one of the most economical. When you connect it, you have the opportunity to use a large number of minutes and a sufficient number of gigabytes of mobile Internet for a small monthly fee.
Connection conditions
Before switching to a specific tariff, you must carefully read the basic connection conditions. These include:
- Mandatory payments for using a federal number are 400 rubles (for Moscow and the Moscow region), and for a city number 304.8 rubles.
- A certain number of minutes, SMS and Internet traffic, established by the conditions, are provided monthly. Quantities may vary depending on your region of residence.
- Incoming calls are not charged. Outgoing calls to MTS are provided free of charge (a package of minutes is spent first), and the client also receives a certain number of minutes (for Moscow 200) for calls to SIM cards of other operators. The fee for calls in excess of the provided minutes is 3 rubles for SIM cards of other operators.
- SMS messages over the package established by the terms of the tariff are charged at 2 rubles in the home region and 3 rubles for Russian SIM cards.
- The cost of switching to a tariff plan is zero.
Advantages and disadvantages
To finally decide whether it is worth switching to the described tariff system, it is worth considering the main advantages and disadvantages of the proposal. The advantages include:
- low subscription fee;
- the presence of free offers and discounts;
- the ability to use communications, even if there is no subscription fee on the SIM card (in such a situation, the subscription fee becomes daily and amounts to 17.5 rubles).
Disadvantages include:
- small packages;
- paid calls to numbers of third-party operators outside the home region.
Rules for disabling the Smart tariff from MTS
If the subscriber realizes that the Smart tariff is not suitable for him, and he wants to get other conditions for calls and the Internet, then he should disconnect from it.
Many clients are sure that in order to switch to a new chosen tariff, they must disable the old one.
However, this is not the case, and in order to switch tariffs, you just need to select a new one and activate it, and the “Smart” tariff will cease to operate automatically.
Methods for changing the tariff include:
- disconnection via the “My MTS” application;
- call the operator and request to disable the current tariff;
- visiting your personal account and changing your tariff yourself;
- visiting the sales office of the MTS company and contacting an employee to help about.
Advantages and disadvantages of the tariff
Advantages of the “Smart MTS” tariff : traffic is available throughout the entire Russian Federation, and not just in the home region, availability of a package of minutes, SMS, medium-volume traffic.
Disadvantages : expensive communication with subscribers of other operators outside the home region, Internet speed is limited in some regions, automatic connection to a paid package after using traffic, expensive calls to other countries of the world, including the CIS, the need to pay a monthly fee, minutes, traffic, sms expire at the end month.
The Smart tariff, released by MTS in 2021, is suitable for those who always want to be in touch without overpaying for calls within the network and for calls to other operators.
However, active Internet users are unlikely to be satisfied with this plan, since the traffic offered here is small.
In other words, it is designed for people who often make calls and send messages, but rarely use the Internet.

Reviews about the tariff
Paul. Moscow. 27 years
I switched to the tariff and they immediately charged me 200 rubles, but the terms and conditions said that the switch costs zero rubles. The “Everywhere at home Smart” function did not work and I was charged 450 rubles for 16 minutes of conversation, but other operators charged less: only 10. I tried this option in other tariff plans, and there were no complaints.
Andrey. Novosibirsk 25 years
I liked the “Smart” tariff because there are many minutes for calls, and it fits perfectly with the iOS system. There is a lot of traffic and enough for listening to music and viewing photos. I’m pleased, but it’s embarrassing that I had to spend time checking the remaining traffic, that is, calling the helpline and finding out the number. I recommend everyone to connect and try these conditions.
Elena. Samara. 29 years
Smart helped me out when going on vacation. I liked that even from other cities I can use a package of minutes on SIM cards. The only downside for me is that they charge for voluntary blocking after 14 days. Otherwise I liked everything.

- mobile internet – 5 GB;

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, taking into account a 50% discount).
But the old version with unlimited Internet is really good. And you can still switch to it...
How to switch to “My Smart” from MTS
You can connect the tariff in the following ways.
- Using USSD command. Just enter *111*3888# and click “Call”. This is the most convenient method, as it is available to everyone and allows you to connect to a new tariff without the Internet, just use your phone.
- Call 0890. A robot will answer you there and tell you which number you need to press to interact with the system. To connect “My Smart”, go to “Tariffs” and follow the system prompts.
- In the “My MTS” mobile application. In the “Available” tab (in tariffs), select the new Smart and confirm the transition. Within a few minutes, an SMS with connection information will be sent to your number.
- Through the MTS Personal Account. To enter your account, you need to open the MTS website and register to receive a login and password, or enter the existing ones. Next, you will be taken to the Personal Account itself, where you will need to go to the “MTS Tariffs” section and select “My Smart”.
- In the nearest MTS communication store.

Tariff features
The Smart offer is a prepaid plan with a fixed monthly fee.
Debit
When connecting to a tariff
The monthly amount is withdrawn at the time of activation of the offer or transition from another tariff. Immediately there is full access to all services provided by the package.
When using the tariff
The subscription fee is charged from the second month of using the plan and the package is updated on the date of connection or transition to the tariff. This happens every month. If there is no date for the completed connection in the next month, it is moved to the previous date. For example, if a person activated the tariff on March 31, the amount for the second month will be written off on April 30.
If the user's number is blocked, withdrawals are made after activation the following night. In this case, there is no charge for the month when the SIM card is not used.
Daily payment is available to subscribers. If there are not enough funds in the account to fully debit the monthly fee, money is charged daily at 9 rubles per day until the balance is replenished for a one-time withdrawal of the entire amount.
When the tariff is disabled
When disconnecting the service and switching to another plan, it is recommended to use up the volumes provided by the tariff. This is due to the fact that unused balances of the package do not roll over to the next month.
If the subscriber decides to unilaterally refuse services and does not replenish the balance, when the balance reaches zero or negative (up to -800 rubles), only incoming calls and SMS are available to him for 2 months. Then the number is completely blocked. The contract is considered terminated by the subscriber after 183 days if he has not used paid services.
But if after 150 days the account contains a positive balance (above 0.01 rubles) without using commercial options, the subscriber is transferred to the “Basic 092013” tariff.
If a user of communication services connects or decides to change his number to a landline number, the “Unlimited call forwarding from a direct number” option must be activated. Its cost is quite high and amounts to 300 rubles. That is, incoming calls to a direct number are actually redirected to a federal one, which is why the fee is charged.
It is not possible to disable the option. Cancellation is carried out by abandoning the city number and switching to a federal one. In this case, redirection is not needed, and the subscriber is not charged.
Do unused minutes roll over to the next month?
Before activating an offer from MTS, it is important to familiarize yourself with its features:
- unused volumes of minutes, messages, network traffic in the current month are not carried over to the next;
- When changing the tariff, the remaining services in the package do not transfer to the new plan.
What happens when the traffic for a package ends before the end of the month
When the provided amount of network traffic, which is 3 GB according to the Smart tariff, is used up, an additional package is automatically provided. It includes 500 MB, its cost is 95 rubles.
The connection will be extended until the tariff package is updated. However, the additional 500 MB is activated no more than 15 times monthly. It is then possible to use the network using the “Turbo buttons”.
Additional packages are valid in all regions of the Russian Federation; the balance on them is not carried over to the next month.
To avoid connecting to the excess volume of 500 MB, you need to enter the code on your phone: *111*936#.
Calls to other countries
The MTS operator allows you to make calls from Novosibirsk to other cities of the Russian Federation and abroad. However, prices differ depending on the country of destination of the call:
- CIS - 35 rub. /min;
- Europe - 49 rub./min;
- Other countries - 70 rub./min.
A more accurate cost can be found on the operator’s website in the roaming section by entering the name of the tariff and the country where you want to call into a special form.
Tariff analysis of MTS St. Petersburg
After reading the list, you probably chose one or two interesting tariffs for yourself, but the table does not reflect all the features of each of them. At this point you will find a detailed analysis of MTS tariffs for St. Petersburg.
MTS Tariffishche
The first MTS tariff with unlimited internet, which, if you believe the advertising, offers extremely favorable conditions, but in reality everything is so smooth if you look into it. There are 4 connection options available, differing in packages of minutes and SMS; unlimited Internet traffic is available in each of them. You can call and send messages to all networks and to any regions of Russia.
Price | Plastic bag | Cost of a minute of conversation after the limit is exhausted |
550 rub. | 500 min/SMS | 0.95 RUR/mime |
700 rub. | 800 min/SMS | 0.75 rub/min |
950 rub. | 1500 min/SMS | 0.50 rub/min |
1450 rub. | 3000 min/SMS | 0.25 rub/min |
International calls are always paid separately: 35 rub/min (CIS), 49 rub/min (Europe), 70 rub/min (rest). The cost of SMS upon exhaustion of the limit to any numbers in the region is 2 rubles/piece, to other regions – 2.8 rubles/piece.
MTS Tariff for St. Petersburg is really profitable, but there are a couple of disadvantages. Despite the stated unlimited limit, in fact you receive only 30 GB of traffic per month if you are within the Leningrad region, or 15 GB (500 MB per day) when traveling outside its borders. Naturally, in the description of the tariff plan this is indicated in the smallest letters. After the limit is exhausted, the connection speed will be limited to 128 kb/sec; the speed will also be reduced when downloading torrents, sharing the Internet and using a SIM card in a modem. There is also no transfer of remaining minutes/SMS to the next month. We analyzed the pros and cons of the Tariff in more detail in this article.
My Unlimited
The My Unlimited tariff is a flexible solution and allows the subscriber to determine for himself how much Internet traffic, minutes and messages he needs. This is really very convenient and allows, for example, to connect a larger volume of traffic in those months when it is needed, without constantly running from tariff to tariff.
Conditions (configurable):
- Minutes: 350-950;
- SMS: 350-950;
- Traffic: 7-32 GB;
- Price: 390-1200 rub.
My Unlimited can be freely used both within your home region and when traveling around Russia.
At the end of your Internet traffic, you can connect an additional package at a price of 150 rubles per 1 gigabyte, which is quite expensive. Apparently, this is how MTS encourages subscribers to initially choose a tariff option with a larger volume of traffic.
MTS X
Once called Hype, tariff X for 370 rubles offers unlimited traffic on popular social networks and services: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, YouTube, MTS Music, Apple Music Google Music, Yandex .Music, Zvooq, App Store, Google Play, MTS Connect, Twitch.
Additionally, the user receives 7 GB of traffic per month to the rest of the Internet, as well as 100 minutes and 200 SMS within the network and to numbers of other operators.
After the limit ends, calls to MTS will remain free, and for other operators you will have to pay per minute: 2 rubles/min in your home region and 5 rubles/min outside of it. Additional Internet is connected in packages of 500 MB for 95 rubles, and SMS after 200 packages cost 2/2.8 rubles inside and outside the network.
MTS Smart line (Smart)
MTS Smart tariffs for St. Petersburg and the region are presented in four positions:
- Smart.
- Smart Top.
- Our Smart

All tariffs provide for the transfer of traffic, minutes and SMS to the next month. Remaining packages are spent first and can only be transferred once. If they are not spent in the second month, they will burn out. Subscribers also have the opportunity to share the remaining packages with friends.
Comparative table of additional features of Smart line tariffs:
Smart | Smart Top | Our Smart | |
minutes | 400, any operators | 1600, any operators | 1000 on MTS in Russia and any operators in your home region |
SMS | 400 | 1600 | 1000 |

In the case of tariff X, in the first month after connection, the subscription fee is divided by 30 and is charged every day; in other cases, payment is made once a month.
MTS Ultra
The MTS Ultra tariff is aimed at people who often communicate within the network with subscribers from other cities. It is valid throughout the Russian Federation, the fee is charged in one payment per month.
Calls to MTS in Russia | unlimited |
Calls to other operators around the country | 3000 minutes |
Traffic | 15 GB |
SMS to any numbers in Russia | 3000 sms |
Price with federal number Price with city number | 1800 rub/month 1950 rub/month |
If the amount of traffic provided at the beginning of the month has been used up, then you will automatically be connected to 1 gigabyte for 150 rubles. In total, up to 15 such connections are possible per month.
It also provides for the transfer of traffic, SMS and minutes to the next month, but no further.
Super MTS
Super MTS does not provide for debiting funds every month and is suitable for those who do not want to spend too much on calls and the Internet, but want to always stay in touch.
Super MTS includes several convenient features such as 20 free minutes of calls or the ability to connect packages with messages (100 SMS for 75 rubles, 300 for 150)
Monthly payment | 0 rubles |
Calls to MTS numbers in the Russian Federation | 20 minutes a day for free |

SMS | 2 rub/piece in the region, 2.5 rub/piece in Russia |
Internet | 100 MB per day for free, then 25 rubles for every 20 MB |
However, it will not be suitable for people who actively use the Internet, since very little traffic is provided, and purchasing additional megabytes separately is expensive.

The “Guest” tariff allows you to communicate profitably with foreign subscribers; there is no fixed fee for its use. Those who switch to the tariff are given 30 days of free use of the Gudok option as a gift. At the end of this period, the option will become paid (30 rubles/month), but it can be disabled at any time.

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.
