MTS roaming abroad costs several times more than domestic Russian services, but special add-ons allow you to reduce the price of communication to a more acceptable one. Before the trip, subscribers only need to select a suitable tariff or individual options - the company has developed offers for lovers of calls, text correspondence and fans of Internet communication. We’ll figure out what services will be useful on your trip and what to connect to ensure that communication remains profitable around the world.
Tariffs for MTS roaming abroad
The operator does not have separate TPs for communication abroad. The company's subscribers use the usual plan in other countries, supplementing it with options that reduce the cost of communication. The choice of the most favorable tariff is individual. In 2021, when connecting, you should focus on 2 factors.
- Call prices without discounts. Go to https://mts.ru, open “Roaming and intercity” in “Tariffs and services”. Switch to the “World Travel” tab. Two forms will be displayed on the page - with a choice of destination and current TP. Provide the required information, click the link below “How much will it cost class=”aligncenter” width=”700″ height=”400″[/img]
- Possibility of connecting additional services. Follow the same path to the forms with your current plan and the country you are flying to. Below the fields, click “Go to service catalog.” Select the option you like for MTS working abroad, open the description and find the “More details” link at the bottom.
Read the conditions - one of the paragraphs should list TPs compatible with the offer.
Israel telephone code
To call to Israel, dial 8 - this indicates that the call is not local. You must wait for the beep. Afterwards you need to dial 10 - this means that the call will be international and then the telephone code of Israel will be indicated.
It should be noted right away that 10 is access to an international connection for Rostelecom OJSC. For other operators, the access code for an international connection will be different. For example, 56 - SCS Sovintel LLC, 57 - TransTeleCom Company CJSC, 58 - MTT OJSC, 59 - Equant LLC.
Attention: number 8 and further the international connection code described above are applicable only for Russia. Other countries have adopted a different system for accessing the international line.
After this, you should dial the country code ( Israel telephone code - 972 ). At this stage of dialing, we reached the internal telephone line of Israel.
Now all that remains is to dial the telephone code of the city we want to call, and finally, the local telephone number of the Israeli subscriber.
MTS options for roaming abroad
To prevent MTS roaming tariffs abroad from ruining you in 2021, you will have to activate one or more of the 8 active services. Here's what they are intended for and on which TPs you won't be able to work with the options:
- “Zabugorische” is suitable for communicating on the phone and surfing the Internet. It is convenient because you only have to pay the subscription fee on the day you use the network. Functions on all current tariffs, compatibility with archived ones can be checked in your personal account;
- "BIT", "SuperBIT" and "MaxiBIT" are needed abroad for the Internet. They work on almost all TPs, excluding options with the words “caring” and “cool” in the name. It will not be possible to add to a number at the same time as the previous one;
- With “Zero Without Borders” you can talk to residents of the Russian Federation for free. Does not work on corporate plans and some archive plans;
- "SMS on Travel" promises great prices on text messaging. Only individuals can connect;
- “Turbo button abroad” removes limits on network access speed. Compatible with all TP;
- “Travel expenses” does not provide bonuses or packages - it only notifies the subscriber that the established limit on communication expenses has been reached.
If you plan to make a lot of calls, it is better to connect the tariff together with “Zero without borders” before departure. SMS packages are obviously useful for correspondence, and those who want to stay online even while traveling should choose one of the “BIT” options.
Cheap calls to Israel using Sipnet
SIPNET provides excellent conditions for making calls to many countries around the world. Among other things, this is due to an important feature of SIP telephony. All calls are serviced not by one, but by many VoIP operators.
Since each operator offers its own operating conditions, which determine both the quality of communication and the cost of the call, we automatically select the one whose conditions seem optimal to us. This way you will get high quality communication at an affordable price. To start using SIPNET and get all the benefits of modern Internet telephony, you just need to complete a simple registration. In SIPNET, the cost of a call is determined by where the called party is located. If you need to call Zimbabwe, Israel or any other part of the world, we will offer you the most favorable conditions.
You can find out the cost of making calls to Israel on this page. The table shows the cost of calls to mobile and landline phones. All prices are indicated for one minute of connection, while billing is carried out per second.

What is better to connect to MTS abroad?
The set of options depends on the communication services you need and the compatibility of the offers with each other. So, for the Internet, “BIT” and “Zabugorische” are useful, for calls – “Zabugorishche”, “Zero without Borders” and “Free Travel”. Before adding, decide what exactly you will use, study the description and nuances of each option, and only then proceed to connect.

Packages must be spent on the day of receipt, the balance will not be carried over. The subscription fee is debited upon use of services.
In other countries, you will have to pay 390 rubles on the day of calls. But the package of minutes here has been expanded to 200.

Money is withdrawn regardless of the use of services; the subscription fee is canceled only by disconnecting.
"Free Travel"
For 190₽ you get the same free hour for communication with Russian SIMs. If the limit is exceeded, the cost of each subsequent minute is 10 rubles. You can use this option if you added it to the list of active ones earlier. The Free Travel connection is closed.

"SuperBit Abroad"
Similar to the previous option, but there is no traffic limit at all. For the pleasure you will have to pay 1600 rubles per day of use.
How to call Russia from Israel
The Russian code is +7, so when calling from a mobile phone while in Israel, you need to dial +7 and then the ten-digit subscriber number, i.e., for example, +7 123 456 7890. If you are going to make a call from an Israeli landline phone, on which it is not possible to dial the “+” sign, then instead you need to dial the international dialing code, this can be 012, 013, 014 or 018, depending on the landline provider (this must be clarified at the place where the call is made). Then the dialing will look like this: 012 (or another code from the ones presented above) 7 123 456 7890.
How to activate roaming on MTS abroad
To use communications abroad, you need to activate one of the “Easy Roaming” programs on your SIM card. At most TPs they work by default, but it’s better to make sure they’re available before your trip. If there are no options, you can enable it using a simple USSD request:
- *111*2192# for “International access” and “International and national roaming. The offers are not available to everyone - they have requirements for the duration of the contract with the subscriber and for the amount of money spent on the company’s services;

Registration of a SIM card
SIM cards
To buy a SIM card, you need to have any document confirming your identity with you. For our compatriots, only a foreign passport fits these conditions. In addition, it is better to connect at official points of sale. When contacting an official salon to connect to a tariff plan, explain to the consultant that you need a tariff for calls to Russia. In this case, they will select the best offer for you or connect an optimizing service. It is better to avoid street spots.
Firstly, it can be significantly more expensive, and secondly, it is dangerous. They may sell you a SIM card with an already negative balance or an incorrect tariff. The main goal of street vendors is to make a profit. To do this, they strive to sell everything they have in their hands by any means. Moreover, in case of fraud, it will be difficult to present your claims to the seller on the street. Try to find him tomorrow in the same place.
