MTS roaming in Russia in 2021: tariffs, services, how to connect and disconnect

Russia is a very large state, and when MTS subscribers travel around the country, they constantly want to be in touch without changing their own smartphone number and operator. Today, the price of roaming by region is decreasing, and on several tariffs of this operator, roaming calls per minute prices are the same as in your own region. Therefore, many of the company’s clients are interested in how to connect to MTS roaming. Another important question is how to disable roaming on MTS.

MTS intranet and national roaming in Russia in 2021

The roaming service in other regions of the world is a special mode of using modern communications outside the distribution of the provider. At the moment, there are two main types of such proposals:

Intranet tariff. It is characterized by optimal accessibility from a financial point of view. The client, while located in any corner of the country, will be served by different regional networks of the operator;
National differs from intranet in that if the operator does not cover a particular region, guest services will be provided by another provider.

If there are no towers in the person’s territory or the partner’s coverage is wider, the resources of another provider are used. The number in such a situation is completely preserved.
