“Zero on MTS” service: what is it, how to connect and disable

Zero on MTS is one of the company’s services that allows you to make free calls to internal numbers of subscribers within a certain number of minutes. It is often activated in order to call family and friends more often without regard to the current cost of the service. At the same time, users save on the cost of calls. The function has been in effect since June 9, 2014 and is relevant for the whole group of Super and Super Zero tariff plans. Below we will look at the features of this service, what the cost of the option is, how to activate the tariff, and what the reviews say.

Option “Zero on MTS”

Many company users are not aware of existing offers, so they use unprofitable packages and spend extra money. Zero on MTS is an operator option that allows you to significantly save on calls within the network. As noted, the function is provided only for subscribers of two tariffs - Super MTS and Super Zero. At the current stage, the second version of the tariff plan no longer works and has been moved to the archive. This means that it will no longer be possible to activate it.

When you subscribe to the MTS Zero tariff on MTS, you can count on additional bonuses. Let's highlight the main ones:

• 100 minutes of outgoing calls within Moscow and Moscow Region;
• 100 minutes on-net to other regions.

It is worth considering that the first paragraph refers not only to mobile phones, but also to landline phones in the capital. Therefore, the service will be useful to subscribers who often call city numbers and other regions. The cost of minutes when making calls to phones of other operators is specified in the terms and conditions and cannot be changed. Only the company providing the services can change tariffs.

In the description of the MTS Zero service on MTS, it is worth noting one more question regarding the received minutes. They are counted separately and not combined with the time that goes into the tariff plan.

In general, the Zero conditions on MTS satisfy the needs of active subscribers, which made the service popular. After connecting the option, you can communicate more within the network. If the function is activated, the subscriber spends less money per day than per minute of conversation within the normal tariff. Indeed, a fee of 3.5 or 4.5 rubles can be called minimal. In this case, the first withdrawal occurs after connecting the option. In the future, money for the service is withdrawn regularly every night.

Additional Information

You can often find offers on the Internet for the sale of SIM cards with archive or corporate plans. But you should not cooperate with such “sellers”. Here are a few problems that you may encounter in the future:

1. Banal fraud. You give a person money, but in return you will not receive anything from him.
2. SIM card blocking. The person for whom the personal account is registered may at any time refuse further service in MTS.
3. It is impossible to perform any operations with the account. Often, to confirm identity, operator employees request the owner’s passport information.

We recommend connecting to MTS through official communication stores or through company partners. In this case, you can avoid subsequent problems.

Option cost

Before connecting Zero to MTS, check the company’s tariff. Currently the following requirements apply:

1. The connection price is 4.5 rubles if a person uses Super 0513, 082013 or 2013 tariffs. For users of Super 2012 and 2011, as well as Super zero, the connection fee is lower - 3.5 rubles.
2. The daily payment is 4.5 rubles for the first and 3.5 rubles for the second group (the principle of forming tariff groups is indicated above).

The cost of connecting to the MTS tariff service on MTS is added to the payment for daily use. The full payment is collected each night for the next day. To obtain data on the number of minutes remaining, you can go to your Personal Account or dial the combination *100*1#.

Immediately after activation, the subscriber receives a 100% discount on outgoing calls within the capital and Moscow Region, including to landline numbers. The user is given exactly 100 minutes. The same amount is provided for calls made from this region.

After activating the Zero option on MTS, the free minutes that are issued when replenishing your account are no longer valid. However, existing calling benefits are not combined with the features of the new option.

1. Go to the company’s website and find the “My MTS” link.

Reviews

One of the criteria for the usefulness of the service is reviews from real users about the Zero function on MTS. Let's highlight a few comments:

“I often have to call landline numbers in the capital, so Zero on MTS really helps out. Compared to the regular tariff, we can save more than 1,000 rubles per month.” Ivan, 32 years old.

“I liked that you can quickly connect and disconnect Zero on MTS using SMS or a quick command. I activate the function when I come to my parents for a few months to save on calls to friends and family. After leaving for my native land, I turn it off as unnecessary.” Stanislav, 44 years old.

“I still have an old package with unfavorable tariffs, so Zero on MTS allows me to save a lot and get 100 free minutes. I have no desire to switch to another tariff yet, so I use a special function from the operator. Fortunately, there are no difficulties connecting and disconnecting it.” Anna. 29 years.

Mostly users leave positive reviews, because Zero on MTS allows you to significantly reduce the cost of communication within the network.

Who is the tariff plan for?

Having studied the detailed description of the offer, which has been in force since 2011, we can conclude that TP should be activated by those who:

• Calls a little to numbers of other operators.
• Communicates exclusively within the MTS network.
• Does not want to fulfill monthly obligations.
• Wants to save money on using mobile communications.
• Does not require Internet access.

If necessary, you can activate additional package offers. In this case, the subscriber will have to pay a certain amount, which depends on the volume of services ordered.

Those subscribers who talk for a long time or prefer to constantly use traffic are recommended to pay attention to other tariff plans. Choose those offers that offer more favorable prices.

Who is it suitable for?

The Zero service on MTS is an excellent solution for people who are connected to old tariff plans, but want to make calls within the network without additional costs. After connecting the option, you can dial numbers throughout Russia and communicate for your pleasure. As for calls to other operators, they are charged taking into account the current tariff rates.

The advantage is that separate billing for minutes is more expensive than the monthly fee for the Zero option on MTS. The tariff number is symbolic and is unlikely to hit the user’s pocket. Another plus worth noting is the ability to call landline numbers within the capital, which are usually charged at a higher price. If a person often calls landlines, enabling this function will save a large amount.

Via SMS

If you are unable to go to the official website, then simply send a text message. Dial the digital attachment “868” and send it to the service number “111”. To disable “Call for free to MTS Russia 100” on your mobile device, just send a letter with the content “8680” to the same short number.

Alternatives

Today, the operator has several tariff plans at its disposal, which have favorable conditions and allow you to communicate without connecting additional functions. Let's highlight several options:

1. Super MTS. The tariff allows you to communicate without restrictions by calling network numbers and landline phones in your home region. 3 GB per month is also given. The monthly fee is 0 rub. Incoming calls are free, and calls to MTS phones in Moscow and Moscow Region are 1.75 rubles per minute, and to mobile phones in other regions - 5.5 rubles. The tariff for other operators within the region is 2.5 per minute, and in other regions of the Russian Federation 14 rubles per minute. Outgoing SMS are charged at prices from 2 to 8 rubles.
2. Red Energy. This is another plan that does not charge a monthly fee. At the same time, calls to mobile phones of a Moscow operator are 1.6 rubles per minute. When calling to other regions, you will have to pay 5 rubles when communicating with a user within the network and 8 rubles per minute for other operators. Message price from 1.9 to 9.9 rubles.
3. Your country. Another tariff without a mandatory monthly fee. Payment for mobile phones of users of this tariff is only 1 ruble per minute, and for the devices of other subscribers - 2.5 rubles. The first 100 minutes a day when you activate the Call MTS option for free. Calls to other regions cost 5 rubles per minute, except when the user has activated a special option. SMS price from 2.5 to 9.9 rubles.

Consequently, the Zero service on MTS has no alternative if you use the Super MTS or Red Energy packages. As for subscribers of the Your Country tariff, they can activate the Call to MTS option and enjoy communication. To activate it, just dial *111*859# and call.

Connection is also possible through a communication salon, personal account or call center. The price of the service is 3 rubles connection and 3 rubles daily payment. After activation, a person receives a 100% discount on outgoing numbers within the network in Russia within Moscow and Moscow Region. In this case, the user is given 100 minutes. If they are not used up, the balance does not carry over to the next month and is burned out.

Thus, the company’s users have two ways to save money - activation of Zero on MTS or Your Country.
But in both cases, you need to remember about restrictions on tariff plans, because the service only works for specific packages. In addition, it is important to monitor the remaining number of minutes and remember that company shares do not overlap with each other. If our article helped you, please like it!

Before connecting the TP, it is recommended to carefully study the terms of use and tariffs. This approach eliminates the possibility of unforeseen situations occurring during use.
