MTS launched Tariffishche

back on August 14, 2021, but since then the tariff has undergone many changes, which was the reason for the appearance of a new review.

“Tariffishche” is one of the most popular MTS tariffs, since its main advantage is the availability of unlimited mobile Internet, which recently can also be distributed, but more on that a little later.

Description of the MTS Tariffishe tariff

One of the most profitable MTS offers for smartphones today is the Tariffishche tariff plan. It combines an affordable price and the main advantages of other MTS tariffs. Like most other tariffs with a subscription fee, Tariffishche includes minutes, SMS messages and Internet traffic, but the scope of its service package is much broader.

Basic characteristics:

• Subscription fee – from 650 rub./month.
• Up to 3000 free minutes.
• Up to 3000 free SMS.
• Unlimited Internet throughout Russia.

Mobile Internet is provided unlimitedly - without taking into account downloaded or transmitted information. Minute and SMS packages also have virtually no restrictions - they can be used to make calls and send messages to any Russian numbers. Moreover, all services operate not only in the home region, but throughout the country in the MTS network.

“Tariffische” will be of interest primarily to young people - unlimited allows you to listen to music, communicate on social networks, watch films and TV series almost around the clock. Also, it will be beneficial to those subscribers who have to make a lot of calls to other regions and those who travel a lot around the country.

The cost of the tariff plan depends on the number of minutes and SMS provided monthly. The subscriber can independently choose the required volume of services and an acceptable monthly payment amount.

In the account details and settings, the subscription fee is hidden behind the service name of the tariff plan - “Monthly fee Unlimited 2.0”.

The tariff plan is intended for use only in smartphones and tablets; it will not work in USB modems and other devices. Internet distribution from a phone connected to the tariff to other devices is not available.

Price

The subscription fee for the MTS Tariffishe tariff depends on the volume of minutes and Internet that the subscriber has chosen. Upon initial connection to the tariff, the user is provided with a basic configuration - unlimited Internet access, 500 minutes and 500 SMS costing 650 rubles per month.

If the user is not satisfied with the size of the package provided by the operator when switching to a tariff, it can be changed to a larger one at any time. The number of such changes is not limited. The tariff is set up by the subscriber independently, in the Personal Account or the My MTS mobile application, by selecting the required option.

The increase in package sizes takes into account the minutes and SMS already spent within the current package, and funds are written off in the amount of the difference between the current and new subscription fees. If packages are reduced, the change takes effect only from the beginning of the next billing period after the current one.

Together with the Tariffishche tariff plan, the subscriber is provided with free of charge. It allows you to communicate even with a negative balance. The option begins to operate automatically after 6 months of using the tariff or when the subscriber fulfills a number of conditions.

Subscription fees are charged and packages are updated monthly on the day corresponding to the date of transition to the tariff. Unused minutes and messages are not carried over to the next month. When purchasing a new SIM card with a tariff, the debit occurs in two equal parts - on the 1st and 15th day of using the tariff.

The monthly fee is charged in full, regardless of the amount of money in the personal account. If the balance is negative at the time the subscription fee is charged, packages of minutes and messages will not be provided, and access to services will be blocked. Packages will be credited in full after the balance is replenished and the lock is released.

To check your personal account balance and control the remaining packages on your tariff, you can send the command *100# from your phone.

Calls and SMS

With the Tariffishche tariff, it doesn’t matter where the user calls or sends messages - packages of minutes and SMS are used to communicate with subscribers of any Russian operators.

When free minutes are exhausted, call tariffs will depend on previously connected packages. In turn, the cost of messages is the same for all tariff users and depends only on the direction of the SMS sent - within your region or outside it.

If the packages have run out and there is still a lot of time before the new billing period, they can be increased at any time by changing the settings. The maximum volume of packages available on the tariff plan is 3000 minutes and 3000 SMS.

To control the remaining minutes and SMS in the connected package, you need to send a USSD request *100*1# from your phone.

Please note that despite the fairly high cost of the tariff plan, it does not have unlimited calls within the MTS network - after the package of minutes is used up, calls to MTS numbers also become paid.

The cost of international calls and SMS on Tariffishche is the same as on other tariffs and complies with the standard conditions of MTS.

If the user has to frequently make calls outside of Russia, it is recommended to use. Its connection is free, there are no mandatory payments, but to some international destinations it allows you to make calls much cheaper.

The Tariffishche tariff includes free services that make communication more convenient and accessible:

• “They called you” - allows you to receive information via SMS about missed calls when the phone was turned off or was out of network coverage;
• “Video call” - allows the user to make video calls at the price of a regular voice call.

Internet at tariff

Unlimited Internet access is valid throughout Russia, provided the subscriber is in the MTS network, and is provided at the highest possible speed.

Mobile Internet traffic can be used both on your phone and distributed to other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB connection. But there is a limit on Internet distribution - 3 GB per month . If the limit is exhausted, until the start of a new billing period, traffic distribution every day will cost 75 rubles.

To find out the traffic consumption in the current month, you need to go to the i.mts.ru page from a smartphone or tablet in which a SIM card with the Tariffishche tariff is installed or send a USSD request *107#.

Using a SIM card with a connected Tariffische tariff plan is not allowed in USB modems. When installed in the modem, access to the network will be blocked.

In addition, the tariff has a restriction on traffic usage. When downloading content via file-sharing networks (torrents), the speed of unlimited Internet access can be reduced to 128 Kbps.

Roaming abroad and communication when traveling around Russia

When traveling around the country, the user of the Tariffishche tariff plan does not need to activate any additional options for roaming - service packages and unlimited Internet are valid throughout Russia.

If the subscriber has used up free minutes or messages, packages can be increased or continued communication at basic prices that correspond to the cost of calls and SMS in the home region.

The conditions for the provision of communication services in the territory of the Republic of Crimea and in the city of Sevastopol differ from the all-Russian ones. Since there is no MTS network on the peninsula, packages of minutes, SMS and unlimited Internet, which are provided to the subscriber in intranet roaming, are not available. The cost of communication services corresponds to the standard conditions of MTS roaming in Crimea.

In order to be able to use service packages and unlimited Internet in the Crimea, you need to activate the “Russia Home Package” service.

In international roaming, unlimited traffic and packages do not apply; charging is carried out in accordance with the basic conditions of roaming abroad. However, when switching to the Tariffishche tariff, the subscriber is automatically connected to the Zabugorishche service. It is valid only when you are abroad and allows you to use all the features of the tariff plan at home.

If you do not intend to use mobile Internet when roaming abroad, it is recommended that instead of the “Zabugorische” option, you activate the “Zero Without Borders” service, the cost of which is noticeably lower.

Personal opinion, pros and cons.

I believe that “ Tariffishche

"- a good tariff plan from the mobile operator MTS. Although its assessment should largely depend on the quality of communication in a particular region. Personally, my MTS shows a stable 4G connection, so there are no problems with Internet speed.

If you have better reception from Megafon, Beeline or Tele2, then you should consider other options, for example, “Turn on! Communicate” from Megafon, “Unlimited” from Tele2 or “Unlim” from Beeline.

Pros:

• Unlimited Internet at home and while traveling around Russia.
• Customizable packages of minutes and SMS.
• Packages of minutes and SMS are valid for calls and sending SMS to any numbers in Russia.
• You can distribute mobile Internet.
• Free subscription to IVI when you connect to any of the last two packages of minutes and SMS.
• Discounts for new connections (not in all regions).
• is provided free of charge.

Minuses:

• After the end of the package of minutes there is no limit on MTS numbers.
• Internet distribution is only 3 GB per month, then 75 rubles per day.
• Torrent download limit – 128 Kbps
• Subscription fee – the tariff plan is not the cheapest. In many regions there are significantly cheaper options.

How to connect Tariffishche to MTS?

The transition to a tariff plan is free, but at the time of connection, the subscription fee for the first month of service is charged in full, regardless of the availability of funds in the personal account.

How to disable a tariff plan?

The possibility of completely disabling tariffs on MTS is not provided, since a subscriber number cannot be left without a tariff plan. There are only two options to disable the Tariffishche tariff - change the tariff plan to another or block your number.

Voluntary blocking of a number, in which the subscription fee will not be charged, is possible for a period of 90 days. You can suspend the contract yourself through your Personal Account on the MTS website or by contacting the company’s office.

If you do not like the conditions, are not satisfied with the volume of packages or the size of the subscription fee, instead of disabling the “Tariff”, you can change it to another, more suitable tariff plan. MTS offers several tariffs without a subscription fee - “Super MTS”, “Red Energy” and “Per Second”, as well as a large number of tariff plans with a wide variety of capabilities and prices, for example, “tariff X”, “My Unlimited”, “Smart” and others.

Internet on the tariff, is it really unlimited?

The tariff plan “Tarifische” replaced the sensational “Unlimited” after a respite and the abolition of unlimited in Russia. The traffic is really unlimited, but it has a number of restrictions that are unpleasant for many!

• When traveling around Russia, the speed may drop after the 500MB limit is reached to an unpleasantly low level. The tariff is still favorable in the home region.
• You CANNOT use a SIM card and tariff for a modem or for distribution to a PC or laptop because the speed drops during distribution.
• This also applies to distributing the Internet to other smartphone users nearby via Wi-Fi, but this limitation can be circumvented. However, officially the speed may drop
• In case of overload in the MTS network, the speed drops, this primarily applies to villages and small towns. In practice this won't be a problem.
