What services should you pay attention to?

If it turns out that this offer does not suit you, pay attention to other options. This can be done on the official website. To do this, select the “Tariffs” section in the top menu and click on “Service Catalog”.

You will see a list of services available for connection. For ease of navigation, sections are presented on the left; select “Roaming and intercity” in them. Please note that the system will prompt you to clarify what exactly you are interested in:

Trips around Russia
Travel around the world
Calls to other countries
Calls to other cities.

Select the item that interests you. In this situation, we are talking about “travel around the world.” If you click on it, the list of services will be significantly reduced. And in addition to the “0 without borders” tariff we already know, MTS will offer you:

“Zabugorische” for 320/390 rubles per day of use, depending on the country. For this money on trips you will receive:

free incoming calls (for some countries all, but for some only the first 10 minutes);
For popular countries, outgoing calls will be charged from the connected package. But for the rest, from 2 to 5 minutes for 25 rubles each, and the 1st, 6th and further according to your roaming tariff.
Internet for popular countries is consumed from your package connected to the tariff. And in other countries it depends on the location. Each state has its own quota. In some places it is quite minimal, within the range of 1-5 MB per day, and in others it reaches 100.

The connection is made either using the command *111* 771# or through your personal account and application.

“Beat Abroad”, “Superbit” and “MaxiBit Abroad” from 450 rubles per day of use. These options are suitable for those who need the Internet when traveling.

So “Bit Abroad” offers from 5 MB per day to an unlimited amount of mobile traffic. However, there is a small caveat. The price for different countries varies from 450 rubles to 1500. Moreover, the less traffic, the more expensive the connections.
"MaxiBit" offers a larger amount of traffic (minimum 10MB). But here everything also depends on the destination and the cost will reach up to 2400 rubles per DAY!
And finally, “SuperBit” is the operator’s maximum offer (from 20 MB). But the price of the issue is corresponding to 4500 rubles per day.

You can connect and disconnect services either in your personal account/application or through USSD commands *111*2222#, *111*2223#, *111*2224#.

And in addition, SMS packages when traveling around the world from 250 rubles per month, “Turbo button” and free cost control while traveling.

Disabling the Free Travel service

In order to disable the option, you must use one of the methods from MTS:

on the territory of the Russian Federation, you can contact a communication salon or dial 0890, where MTS employees will help you disconnect;
in the personal account, the subscriber can disconnect independently: to do this, he needs to visit the “ Services ” section and about;
another method is to send a message 9430 to 111. After the service is disabled, the user will receive a corresponding SMS notification.

Will the option be disabled automatically?

The service cannot be disabled on its own. This must be done manually after returning from vacation in the following ways:

dial *111*444# (next you must enter the number “2”);
call to the operator;
send a message with the command “330” (number 111);
on the website via personal account.

If you were unable to refuse the option on your own, there is a way out of the situation - contact a specialist in the salon. You can disable 0 without MTS borders in any way, you don’t need to pay anything for it.

Free opportunities outside the Russian Federation

If the client is outside the country and has a SIM card from MTS in his mobile device, then he is provided with free opportunities around the clock and seven days a week. Free features include:

free call to the MTS contact center at 84957660166;
using the mobile version of the site where you can top up your balance;
using the portal *111*33# while roaming;
free delivery of a new SIM card if it breaks or is stolen during a trip;
free incoming SMS.

A subscriber located outside the country can use one of the services from MTS. They make communication from other countries comfortable and allow you to save on calls. Such options include “Zero Without Borders” and other services that should be studied before activation.

Eventually

Even after such significant changes, I consider connecting the “Zero without Borders” option, which is called a “must have” (mandatory), when traveling on vacation to countries that MTS has designated as “Popular”. 170 ₽ per day will help you simply forget that you are in the territory of another country in roaming and practically not limit yourself, within reasonable limits of course, in communication.

I don’t see the point in comparing prices for calls with or without connecting the option. In general, there is nothing to compare 45+45 unlimited minutes with, and everyone can see the cost of calls for themselves on the MTS website.

Advantages

User reviews note many advantages. The main thing is reasonable cost. The operator has developed a unique offer that allows you to forget about quickly wasting money on your mobile phone balance while roaming.

At the moment, many companies offer customers only regular tariffs, where all incoming and outgoing calls involve a fee that ranges from 10-300 rubles. The price depends on the selected country.

Also among the advantages are noted:

Loyal conditions.
Possibility to connect in several ways.
The client can easily refuse the service.
The coverage area includes all popular countries.
Ability to control communication costs through the application.

Who will benefit from this service?

If you are in doubt about the “Zero without Borders” option: connect it with MTS bonus points while abroad, or save what you have accumulated and do without additional services - here are the arguments in favor of connecting:

You are traveling abroad and you know that your family will often call you from home;
You realize that you yourself will have to constantly make outgoing calls while roaming;
You have made sure that the program is exactly valid in the destination country;
The duration of your stay in a foreign country is not very long (no longer than a month, otherwise it is better to choose another offer);
You don’t really need the Internet, your main priority is calls;
You're sending your child or loved one abroad and are looking for a way to provide a reliable, stress-free and cost-effective way to keep them connected.

In conclusion, we draw your attention to the fact that upon returning to your home region, the service is not canceled independently - which means that money will continue to be debited from your balance every day.
There are many ways to disconnect, be sure to choose the one that suits you. If our article helped you, please like it!
