MTS in Turkey is quite a popular phenomenon, since thousands of citizens fly to this country on vacation every year. We are talking not only about the summer season, but it is a year-round need. Speaking about the concept of roaming, we note that wherever you go on vacation or for work, you will probably take your phone and keep in touch with your loved ones, colleagues, and friends. Therefore, it is important for a mobile operator to provide such basic needs as calls and the Internet so that the company’s client does not have to look for other, more affordable options.
We will talk about how the mobile telephone operator MTS works in Turkey, about roaming rules, fees and special offers to make the cost of a call to Turkey as convenient as possible.
Choosing a good tariff plan
To save money abroad, take into account expenses on the following items:
- subscription fee;
- phone calls;
- SMS messages;
- surfing and other operations on the Internet.
Benefits include free calls and reduced prices for transmitting (receiving) digital information. Advantageous offers are limited by time frame, traffic volume, and other conditions. To make the right choice, you need to take into account the individual characteristics of the use of cellular communications. Active use of the Internet, for example, can be made a decisive criterion.
Tariff "Zabugorische"
Türkiye is included in the list of countries with a reduced rate of up to 390 rubles. (standard - 490 rubles) payment for services for one day. The option offers 100 minutes of incoming calls. Internet traffic and calls to Russia are charged from the package included in the client’s basic tariff.
“Zabugorische” is a special offer for savings and high-quality communications.
The holder of a Visa Infinite, Platinum or ature card costs less - 200 rubles. per day. Clients of VTB and several other Russian banks receive a special discount of 50% from the base tariff. For a detailed study of the conditions, it is recommended to use the materials published on the official website of the mobile operator. You should make sure that the current tariff plan provides for the ability to connect to the Zabugorishche program.
According to the current rules, time intervals of active use are paid for. If you use the option only 3 out of 10 days on a trip, the total cost will be 1170 rubles. = 390 * 3. For the preferential category - 600 rubles. = 200 * 3. If the daily limit is exceeded, each next minute will cost 39 rubles.

“Zero without limits” - the popular one operates without automatic shutdown. To eliminate unnecessary costs, you can activate the option only for the desired day. This procedure is performed in the user’s personal account or by sending the code *111*4444# to the operator.
"Internet BIT abroad"
Services in this category are provided to all MTS subscribers. The exception is tariff plans with the words “Caring” or “Cool” in the name. When connecting options, you should take into account the difference in traffic restrictions. It is acceptable for the data transfer speed to slow down due to excessive load on the networks of Turkish operators.
