How to send free SMS to MTS

If you want to send an alert to the number of this mobile operator, but do not have funds on your balance, you can use the following proven method of sending a notification:

1. You need to go to any search engine through a browser.
2. Enter the request “Free SMS to MTS”.
3. From the list of resources, you should select the site that provides the service.
4. Here you enter a text message, enter a number, and send an SMS.

Typically, such third-party resources allow you to send up to 10 short text notifications per day, however, do not forget that in this situation the sent commands do not always arrive immediately.

Important! You should take into account the fact that subscribers of this provider can easily send a free alert from their phone if they have the corresponding service activated as part of their tariff plan.

Problems with sending SMS to MTS subscribers

If you are unable to send SMS messages from your MTS phone, there is a possibility that you are encountering one of the following possible problems:

• the service for sending short notifications is incorrectly configured;
• no network connection;
• there is not enough money on the phone balance;
• The device memory allocated for notifications is overloaded;
• There are viruses and other malicious software in the system.

Also, the problem may arise in a situation where you have simply used up the included package of services, and there are not enough funds on your balance.

Checking with SMS service settings

If SMS does not arrive to the MTS number, then there is a possibility that there is a failure in the network settings. Usually, mobile company employees quickly resolve such problems, however, in exceptional situations, the process is delayed by 1-2 days. In any situation, immediately after the signal is restored, everything will work. In this situation, it is recommended to contact support at 8-800-250-0890.

Network settings

Another possible reason for notification delay is a network failure. In this case, you will need to go to the settings of your mobile device. Here you need to set the appropriate data stream for receiving and sending SMS messages. In addition, you must not have Airplane mode activated. It should be noted that the network for “MTS” messages must be set in the options.

Balance check

In certain situations, the problem may be hidden in the state of the personal account. In this situation, you just need to check the balance of your phone, and if it is negative, top up using any convenient method. You can clarify this information in the “My MTS” mobile application, through your personal account on the provider’s website, by calling 0890 or using the *100# command.

Phone memory is full

Any modern device has limited space allocated for storing SMS messages. At the same time, if the memory is full, then you simply will not receive notifications. That is why it is recommended to regularly clear your storage of unnecessary resources in order to always stay connected. You can do everything you need using the built-in tools.

SIGMA

A large service for mass sending SMS in Russia. SIGMA has an agreement with major operators in the country, including MTS, Beeline, Tele2 and Megafon, as well as all sub-operators.

The service offers a flexible range of tariffs, allowing you to customize your newsletter to the maximum benefit for yourself. You can set up sending emails instead of SMS, and replace a full-fledged call center with voice messages. This is a budget, but extremely effective option for interacting with the audience.

Newsletter and additional functions of SIGMA

All this is accompanied by a personal manager who helps you understand the operation of the service and perform the initial setup.

Immediately after registration, you can choose one of the SIGMA tariffs. Often, service services are cheaper than similar ones from competitors. There are both solutions for sending SMS exclusively, as well as combined options that include alternative channels. This is the so-called cascade mailing, which helps you save money through the use of social networks and instant messengers.

It turns out to be really profitable and convenient.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among other advantages of SIGMA it is worth noting:

• Personal technical support, helping not only to solve technical problems, but also to carry out the first mailing.
• Availability of a confirmed license that guarantees the delivery of messages to active subscribers via all selected communication channels.

• The ability to test the service without time limits by sending 5 free SMS per day.

It was not possible to identify the disadvantages. An ideal service for sending SMS online for both small businesses and large companies.

Checking SMS balance

Answering the question of how to check the SMS balance on an MTS number, you need to highlight the following series of fairly simple manipulations:

• you can check the information in your personal account on the mobile operator’s website;
• You can get information on balances through the mobile application;
• You can check the balance of the service package using the command *100#;
• you can use the services of a voice assistant by calling 0890;
• Also, any subscriber has a built-in mobile assistant.

The simplest method of obtaining up-to-date information is a USSD request, or logging into your personal account on the provider’s official website.

Checking SMS delivery

If necessary, you can also track the status of any sent message. To do this, you need to go to the appropriate “Messages” section, find the nearest chat in which the sending took place, and pay attention to the status present below the text. When an SMS message is delivered to another subscriber, “Delivered” is displayed here.

Important! The presence of SMS messages in the tariff plan will allow you to always stay in touch, which is why you should regularly monitor the status of your account and service package, as well as possible restrictions and failures.

Currently, you can contact other subscribers not only through calls, but also through short text notifications. All this is done with the expectation that the user will always be in touch and will be able to contact another subscriber to resolve their issues. Of course, this service has not been so relevant lately, however, it can easily help you out at the most inopportune moments in life.

Creating a newsletter or banner advertisement

Creating a new advertising campaign is not at all difficult, but during this process you may have various questions if you are doing it for the first time. Please note that on the platform’s website you can find answers on any topic of the resource, and if necessary, seek the help of a specialist.

Also pay attention to special information materials that allow you to receive recommendations from advertising market experts. For example, you decided to send a newsletter via SMS, but you don’t know which text is best to use in order to get the most effective result. Using the tips, you can write a short and informative message that will convey your information to the consumer.

Let's take a step-by-step look at creating all the available options for advertising campaigns with MTS Marketer, and let's start with advertising mailings. The first thing you need to indicate is the region, gender of potential clients, and age audience. Let us add that, based on the data you provide, you will see the maximum number of people in a given audience to whom you can convey your message. However, keep in mind that this does not mean that all of them will receive your newsletter, since you choose the number of advertising messages and pay only for them accordingly.

Creating a mailing list using your own contact database is completely identical. The only downside is that you will need to download it. Please note that if, in the case of mailing to a mobile operator’s base, the operator takes responsibility for people’s consent to receive advertising mailings, then for your own base, you must obtain consent yourself.

After this, the system will offer to use georeferencing for your mailing. So, for example, you are the owner of a hairdressing salon in a certain area of ​​the capital. Geotargeting will allow you to select only those recipients who live or frequent the area.

The next point is to select an audience based on their interests. Here you can indicate that, for example, you are interested in those who visit beauty salons, the employment sector, and the income of a potential client. It will also be possible to select an audience based on the gadgets they use, which is especially interesting for those who advertise goods or services related to communications or technology.

The next step is filtering. You can choose who to send advertising messages to and who not. So, by uploading your customer base, you can either include them in your mailing list or, conversely, exclude them if you are only interested in attracting new ones.

After setting the parameters of the potential audience of recipients, you can proceed to selecting the type of advertising campaign. It is at this stage that you can choose how you will interact with the audience. When choosing one or another tool, you will be able to see the cost of sending a mailing.

In this section you will also need to specify the number of messages, banner displays, and select a time interval. Thus, you can specify in what time period the mailing or display of banners will be carried out.

At the next stage, you will be asked to enter the text of the message sent in the newsletter and upload a banner (this can be a link or a layout).

The next step will be to check the parameters of the campaign being launched and proceed to creating your profile. Before doing this, you will need to consent to the conclusion of the offer. If you subsequently want to withdraw your consent to the agreement, you can do this at any mobile operator store.

After your profile is confirmed, which takes on average no more than one day, you can proceed to payment and launching your newsletter. Payment is available in any convenient way, both on the website and through mobile operator stores.
