Tariff from MTS “Ultra” - details of the tariff plan

Date: May 10, 2021 | Updated: July 23, 2021 | Author: Moblie-man

Among the large list of current MTS packages, there is also the “Ultra MTS” tariff, available for connection in most areas. And today we propose to understand the conditions of this package, which are valid for subscribers in Moscow.

Tariff description

The MTS “Ultra” tariff plan maintains its conditions throughout Russia. This means that in national roaming calls, SMS and traffic are consumed from paid packages. In this case, no additional write-offs will be made.

For the entire billing month, the user receives:

• No restrictions on conversations within a single operator;
• Package of minutes for phones of third-party cellular companies;
• Free messages;
• Volume traffic.

“Ultra” is one of the few MTS tariffs that allows you to use packages unused in the current month in the next billing period. The maximum validity period for any package is 2 months.

First, the traffic transferred from the previous period is consumed, and then the main gigabytes.

Calls that last less than 3 seconds are not billed. Call times longer than 3 seconds are rounded up to a full minute.

If there is no money in the subscriber’s account or the balance is negative, then over the next 2 months he will only be able to receive calls and SMS. After this period, if the situation does not change, then access to even incoming services is terminated. If paid services are not used for more than six months, the contract with the client is terminated unilaterally. The reason will be the subscriber's initiative.

Comparison with analogues

All operators have similar contracts. Let's figure out how they differ and what advantages they have over each other.

All premium offers include on-net unlimited and several additional benefits. For example, Megafon provides free traffic on mobile television, antivirus, and a book in the Liters application. Beeline includes unlimited access to music services and social networks. Tele2 gives subscribers the opportunity to unlimitedly use the Internet in international roaming, watch TV and listen to music in the Zvooq application. MTS lags behind in this regard - there are no privileges abroad or additional resources.

The MTS “Ultra” tariff plan is suitable for active Internet users and those who often make calls outside the region. Dedicated service will allow you to receive technical support and operator advice in an accelerated manner. The high cost is explained by the availability of packages of maximum volumes.

Cost of services

The Ultra plan is one of the most expensive. The required amount to pay for a federal number is 2900 rubles per month. If you additionally connect a direct telephone number, the subscription fee will be 3,400 rubles/month.

The required amount is withdrawn once per billing month in full. The first write-off is carried out upon activation of the plan or upon transition to it. Further, the money is charged on the day corresponding to the day of connection to the tariff. Funds are charged regardless of the balance status.

If the subscriber’s phone is blocked on the day of payment, the obligatory payment will be debited as soon as the blocking ends.

Calls

The tariff fee includes 5,000 minutes to all networks in the country. The same amount is used for intranet calls. From the moment the volume is used up, calls within your mobile company remain free. Connections to local users of other operators will cost 2 rubles/min. On intercity routes, on-net calls above the package also remain unpaid, and calls to third-party operator phones will cost 5 rubles per minute. International calls have a price range of 35-70 rubles/minute.

The cheapest way to call the CIS countries and Europe is from 35 to 45 rubles per minute. In other countries the cost will be 70 rubles/min.

SMS and MMS

For written communication via text messaging, clients do not pay for the first 5,000 SMS. From this volume you can send messages both to local numbers and to other regions. In addition to the provided volume, messages for a domestic subject will cost 2 rubles/SMS, long-distance - 3.8 rubles/piece. In order to send an SMS abroad, Russia will need to pay 8 rubles per message. The cost of MMS across the country is the same and is 9.9 rubles.

Internet

The tariff plan offers one of the largest traffic packages. For the entire period, the user receives 20 GB of Internet. This volume is enough for viewing mail, communicating via instant messengers, searching for information, as well as for watching videos/movies/series, downloading songs and images, and downloading other types of files.

The speed within the quota remains maximum anywhere in the Russian Federation, except for the Chukotka Autonomous Region. In this region, the data transfer rate will be only 128 Kbps.

Additional features

The Ultra tariff is the most expensive offer among the entire MTS product line. Therefore, it is not widely used among middle-class subscribers with a small budget. To attract customers to connect to this tariff, the company has developed several auxiliary conditions that the client can receive when activating this tariff. Some operator offers are really worth a lot and deserve attention.

Additional options available include:

1. Individual customer service by phone 0990.
2. When purchasing a SIM card with this tariff, the subscriber is given a gift in the form of a beautiful number from the “Platinum” series. At the same time, there is a peculiarity that when switching from this tariff plan to another type, during the first month from the moment the tariff is activated, the cost of a gift - a beautiful room that costs 5,000 rubles - will be deducted from the client along with the price of the transition.
3. The client can connect to the “Everywhere at Home” service completely free of charge.
4. In the MTS Bonus program, points are awarded separately.

These gifts and conditions for each subscriber are offered if they wish to subscribe to the Ultra tariff. The subscriber himself will have to think about the value of such gifts, although much is already becoming clear.

Most often, when considering tariffs, the negative aspects of tariffs are pointed out. However, there is too little to point out here; they do not influence the choice of tariff too much to focus on them. The prices are already very high, so the operator did not use his cunning tricks here, which he uses in other tariffs to charge additional fees.

Basic contract services

When connecting to or switching to any tariff, the kit always includes options that are activated independently. As a rule, they are free or subject to special conditions. When you first connect/join MTS together with the “Ultra” plan, the following functions are activated: call forwarding, second line, mobile assistant, service line 0990, notifications about the status of your personal account, activation/deactivation of options, tariff changes, short messages, video calls, data transfer , group conversations, roaming, prohibition of commercial subscriptions, missed calls.

When switching to a plan from another offer, the list of additional services is reduced. In this case, only mobile Internet, video communication, information about missed calls, prohibition of subscriptions, and service line 0990 are activated.

The option that blocks unnecessary subscriptions applies to . To deactivate it, send a USSD request *985#.

Who is suitable for the “Ultra” tariff plan from MTS

The discussed offer from the operator is “tailored” for a certain category of clients, which includes subscribers who systematically move throughout the country. The fact is that most tariff packages have different conditions for communication in the region of connection and beyond. As for “Ultra” from MTS, the picture here looks somewhat different: the services offered are valid throughout the country. However, all this also affects the cost of the “Ultra” tariff from MTS.

The last nuance, which also needs to be noted from the list of conditions for using the “Ultra” tariff, concerns unused services within the Internet package and SMS message quota. If you have unused services, they are transferred to the next month of using the tariff.

Compatible Options

The tariff plan itself is already rich in free packages. But for even greater savings, the operator has provided auxiliary options that will help you customize the offer for yourself.

Package of minutes

To connect with local subscribers and residents of other regions, an unpaid volume of 5000 minutes is provided. If the user often calls abroad, then he has the opportunity to activate a package of minutes for international destinations. This is done as part of the “profitable calls to other countries” function. Under its terms, the client receives the following prices:

The service is valid only when you are in the region where the communication agreement is concluded.

To connect, you can use the command *111*965#. The option is provided free of charge and does not require any mandatory write-offs.

Message package

It’s hard to imagine that the bulk of SMS might not be enough. But if such a situation suddenly arises, you can use additional message packages. The company divided all of them into permanent and one-time ones. Permanent packages include those that are for a long period. They are valid until the subscriber himself disables them. These include:

One-time packages are valid for only 1 month and are disabled at the end of the month. These include the following packages:

Internet packages

If 20 gigabytes is still not enough for the subscriber, then the operator provides an option to automatically extend the speed. When the user's traffic is completely exhausted, auxiliary packages will be activated sequentially by default. The volume of each add-on is 1 GB. The connection cost is 150 rubles. Until the end of the current month, you can use auto-renewal no more than 15 times. After spending the last 15th package, access to data transmission is limited until the start of the next billing period, that is, until the main Internet is updated.

If you don’t want to wait for the end of the month, and the traffic has been used even by auxiliary volumes, then you can use.

Activation details and connection commands are available on the official website of the MTS operator. The option to automatically renew the Internet can be disabled at any time by dialing the USSD combination *111*936# from your phone.

Roaming options

When traveling to another region of Russia, you do not need to activate additional national roaming functions, since all service packages are valid when moving around the country. When traveling abroad, users of the “Ultra” plan are better off using the “Foreign” option. According to its terms, inboxes can be free for 100 or 10 minutes per day, depending on the country of location. Outgoing calls to the Russian Federation in some countries remain free for 100 minutes. In other countries, the cost of a minute of conversation is at least 25 rubles.

How clients respond

If we analyze subscriber reviews of the Ultra tariff, many customers do not quite understand why such tariffication is necessary. Subscribers don't like high monthly fees. However, there are not many useful services. If someone chose such a tariff plan due to the large volume of included packages, then they speak positively about such a tariff.

The number of tariff holders includes both businessmen and ordinary subscribers who communicate a lot online and do not want to be limited in communication, the Internet and messages. Many people like the fact that there is no intranet roaming. This condition is very useful for travelers and workers who go on a business trip.

Similar contracts of other operators

Other cellular companies also offer similar offers to their customers. Let's look at them in more detail and compare them with each other.

For Internet users, the most profitable offer will be. The “Absolutely All Mine” tariff for 2,500 rubles per month provides 30 GB of traffic, but only 300 SMS messages. For those subscribers for whom the availability of SMS is important, it is better to use the “Ultra” or “Turn On! Premium".
