With the advent of tariff plans with the included number of communication services, including Internet traffic, the question more and more often began to arise for subscribers of how to extend its speed. On MTS, this can be done in several ways at once. They will be discussed in the current article.
When does the need for speed increase arise?
Immediately make a reservation that activating options to extend the speed in order to increase the current with an unused volume of traffic is a waste of money and time. Within the framework of the volume set by the tariff plan, the Internet connection speed is maximum; the user himself cannot increase it purely technically. You need to activate the options that will be discussed in this article in those cases when the Internet traffic on MTS is over. How to extend the speed and what options can be used for this?
Overview of options for adding speed
There are two options for getting the speed most comfortable for working on the Internet again:
- You can extend traffic to MTS using packages that are part of the Turbo Button line. They are one-time and are automatically deactivated after the expiration date or the volume of traffic. They cannot connect on their own - the subscriber himself initiates at the moment when it becomes necessary to increase the speed.
- It is also possible to extend traffic to MTS without making additional efforts. In particular, this applies to customers on whose SIM card tariff plans of the Smart line have been activated. For them, the activation of additional Internet packages is carried out automatically.
How to extend traffic on the MTS using the acceleration buttons (“turbo buttons”)?
The order of activation and the cost of the option of the line of "turbo buttons" will depend on which particular option to extend the speed chosen by the client. There are six types of “turbo buttons”: 100 megabytes, 500 megabytes, 1, 2, 5 and 20 gigabytes.
The youngest of them provides only 100 megabytes of traffic at high speed. Moreover, its feature is the validity period. For other options of this acceleration line, the term for using the established traffic is set to 30 days. The “Turbo Button 100 Mb” package will be turned off automatically after one day (that is, 24 hours after the option is activated). This operation will be performed by the system earlier if all 100 megabytes are used up by the client.
What is the cost of these services? To clarify how much this or that option will cost, you can on the official website of the mobile operator by selecting your region from the list of possible in the corresponding field. The following rates are relevant for the Moscow region:
- 100 megabytes - 30 rubles;
- 500 megabytes - 95 rubles;
- 1 gigabyte - 175 rubles;
- 2 gigabytes - 300 rubles;
- 5 gigabytes - 450 rubles.
A package with maximum traffic will cost 900 rubles. At the same time, after connecting it, the user will have 20 gigabytes of traffic at high speed in stock.
How to connect the "turbo buttons"?
Connecting options that provide additional traffic at maximum speed is done in any way convenient for the client:
- through a personal account (access to it can be carried out both through the web interface, and through the application for mobile gadgets);
- by sending short commands (for each packet personal combinations of requests are used).
- 100 Mb - * 111 * 05 * 01 #.
- 500 Mb - * 167 #.
- 1000 Mb - * 467 #.
- 2000 Mb - * 168 #
- 5000 Mb - * 169 #.
- 20000 Mb - * 469 #.
For a correct connection on the account at the time of entering the request / execution of the operation via the Internet, there must be an amount necessary for full activation. Otherwise, you will not be able to activate the services and you will have to replenish the balance.
At the same time, you can connect how many quantity of buttons you like, because the traffic provided for them is summed up. As for the terms, the megabytes of the package that was first connected are initially used. The expiration date of the additional volume is set by the date equal to the last package connection date + 30 days.
Auto Speed Up
For tariff plans of the Smart line, a function is provided that allows you not to think about the amount of traffic. Whenever the bulk of the traffic (at the tariff) is spent, an additional package is included. Its volume is 500 megabytes. The fee for its activation is debited at the time of connection in the amount of 75 rubles. Please note that such additional packages are connected automatically when traffic is consumed by TP or the previous package. The subscriber has the right to refuse such “arbitrariness” on the number and deactivate this function. The option is controlled through the same command * 111 * 936 #. How to extend traffic to MTS (Smart Mini, and other TPs of this line) if the auto-renew function is disabled? Only through the "turbo buttons".
How to extend traffic on the MTS modem?
The above options and services are applicable, including for SIM cards used in the modem. All the same "turbo buttons" and the automatic renewal service will help to prolong traffic on MTS. If you do not want to think about whether there is still more traffic each time, it is recommended to use the auto-renewal options. Within one month, you can connect 15 of these packages. If this is not enough, then you can get the missing traffic through the "turbo buttons". Since the volume of traffic does not add up according to the basic tariff plan and to options connected additionally, you should not activate packages for renewal on the eve of the new billing period. Unused volume will simply burn out. Difficulties in activating additional services may arise if the modem software does not have a form for entering characters and sending requests. In this case, activation is available through the client’s personal account.
Conclusion
Now, the mobile operator’s customers know how to extend traffic to MTS Smart (for any tariff plan in this line, the above options for increasing speed are applicable). You can connect any of the extension options if you have a tariff plan with the number of megabytes included or another option, implying the provision of a certain amount of Internet traffic per month for a certain monthly fee.
