The tariff plans that mobile operators offer us, in the majority, imply per-minute billing of calls. This means that the duration of the connection is rounded up and equated to a minute (for example, talking 9 minutes and 5 seconds, you will have to pay 10 minutes). For someone, such a system is convenient - just select the optimal tariff plan. However, there are categories of subscribers for which it would be more profitable to be able to pay only for the time that they really “pronounce”.
For example, this may concern older people, taxi service employees, couriers, etc. They make calls, as a rule, short, but they have to pay as for a full minute of communication. For such cases, the MTS tariff “Per Second” was created, the description of which will be given in this article. You will also find out what advantages it has and what other subscribers of the mobile operator think about it.
MTS tariff “Per Second”: description
This TP differs from all other offers of the mobile operator in that it implies per-second billing of calls. And this means that if you talk for five seconds, then you will not have to pay as for a minute of conversation. But this condition applies only to communication with subscribers of the home region. Including calls to landlines and numbers of other mobile operators.
When connecting with subscribers registered outside their region (that is, in other cities of the country), tariffing becomes standard - per-minute. The same is assumed for calls to international destinations.
All these conditions are offered to its customers by MTS tariff “Per Second”. The tariff description should be clarified on the operator’s website in his region, as its cost may vary.
Cost of communication services on TP
For a home region, the cost of one second connection is 5 kopecks. Thus, when making calls to any numbers in your area, payment will be based on the number of seconds spent. Moreover, if you calculate the cost of one minute according to such a tariff plan, it no longer seems so profitable (3 rubles / per minute). When calling to another region to MTS numbers, the “Per Second” tariff (reviews of which, by the way, are very ambiguous) involves a payment of 5 rubles, and to the numbers of other operators - 14 rubles.
It is also impossible to call beneficial the conditions for sending text messages: 2 rubles to the numbers of the home region and 3.80 rubles. beyond.

Reviews about TP "Posekundniy" of other subscribers
During the existence of this proposal from the mobile operator (and this is more than a year and a half), customers have developed very conflicting impressions of the MTS innovation. The tariff “Per Second”, reviews of which can be read on the Internet and in the relevant communities in social networks, causes negative emotions, in particular, due to the automatic connection of paid options (SMS package and Internet traffic). Clients learn about them, as a rule, after the end of the promotional period, when money begins to disappear from the account.
In addition, according to MTS subscribers, the “Per Second” tariff, the description of the conditions of which we have brought to your attention, is designed for a fairly narrow circle of subscribers who prefer short calls. For mega-communicative people, it is not suitable, since it involves the high cost of a minute of conversation.
