If you need to make regular calls to other areas of our country, then you probably had to deal with the question of how to choose the best rate for calls to Russia. MTS offers several options to reduce the cost of long-distance calls.
If you do not want to change the tariff plan, then there is an option to activate an additional option. It will significantly reduce the cost of calls to other cities. Below you will find information about MTS offers for calls to other areas of the country. First, I would like to draw attention to the fact that some of them may not be available in some areas of the country or their cost may slightly differ from the one indicated in this article.
Options for reducing the cost of long-distance calls
Achieving optimal conditions for communicating with customers from other regions does not mean that you have to switch to a favorable tariff for calls within Russia (MTS). It is enough to activate the option on the existing TP. This will be especially true for customers who need to make long-distance calls for long-distance calls, or subscribers who use other options that are not available on the new tariff plan. There are two options that can be used to reduce the cost of such calls:
• Tariff plan (it is valid; you can switch to it from the current TP or buy a new SIM card) “Super MTS”.
• The option “Profitable long-distance” (activated on the existing tariff plan; not available on all TPs for activation).
Favorable tariff for calls within Russia “Super MTS”
Among the available tariff plans of the mobile operator TP “Super MTS” is the most profitable. Below we will describe the conditions of use and the provided opportunities and benefits. You can go to the tariff plan for 150 rubles. If more than 30 days have passed since the last change of TP, this payment will not be charged. At the same time, if there is no desire to change the current TP, you can purchase a new SIM card with this TP (the cost of the starter kit is 100 rubles; upon purchase, you need to deposit 100 rubles into the account, which can be used to pay for communication services).
Super MTS offers really interesting conditions that become more attractive when activating the additional options “Call for free on MTS 100” and “SMS-Smart”.
You can go to TP through your personal web account by typing * 888 #, through the application for mobile gadgets "My MTS" or by calling the contact center operator.
Cost of services, taking into account the connected option “Call for free on MTS 100”
By connecting this option, you can get a better rate for calls in Russia (MTS).
100 minutes per day are provided for calls to MTS subscribers in their region and other regions of the country. At the same time, calling the number of another region of another mobile operator costs 12 rubles per minute. Thus, it turns out that TP is more beneficial for communication within the MTS network. Calls to numbers of other home network operators cost 1 ruble per minute. When you connect the option (after changing the tariff plan), 2.5 rubles will be charged. (one-time payment of activation cost). The daily subscription fee is two and a half rubles.
The cost of basic TP services (without connecting the option “Call for free on MTS 100”
Even if you abandon the idea of activating the additional option that we mentioned earlier, “Super MTS” TP is still the most profitable MTS tariff (calls in Russia to MTS numbers are 3 rubles per minute, 20 minutes of communication for subscribers of MTS in their region are not charged , the next minutes will cost extremely inexpensively - only 75 kopecks). Thus, you can completely do without activating an additional option.
Conditions for sending SMS messages, the cost of other services
The cost of text messages on a basic TP (without activating the SMS-Smart option) is one and a half rubles (within the home region, to the numbers of any operators), 2.50 rubles. - the cost of one message to customer numbers in other regions of the country, 5 rubles. - sending SMS abroad.
If you activate the SMS-Smart option, then for a monthly fee of 5 rubles a day, 10 non-tariffed messages per day will be provided to the numbers of any operators in the home region. After the limit is exhausted, for each sent message, a fee will be charged according to the basic tariff plan - 2.50 rubles.
Mobile Internet is available on the tariff plan at a standard cost of 9.90 rubles. for one megabyte. You can connect packages containing certain Internet traffic.
Option "Profitable Intercity"
Having determined the favorable tariff for calls within Russia (MTS), let us turn to the description of the option, which can also be used to reduce the cost of long-distance calls. At the same time, its main feature is that after activation a single price is set for the numbers of all telecom operators in Russia - 3 rubles per minute of connection.
The option is connected for free and has a monthly fee of 40 rubles per month. Activation is carried out through a personal web account, through a contact center operator, through a request * 111 * 903 #, when sending a text message with the numbers 903 to the number "111". The service is not available for Smart line tariff plans, which include packages of minutes and messages.
Favorable unlimited tariff for calls within Russia (MTS)
Subscribers who need to really long and often communicate with customers of their own network in other regions of the country should think about the tariff plans for the Smart line. Unlimited calls to all MTS numbers (within the country) are available at TP Smart, Smart Unlimited, and Smart +. The main disadvantage of these options is the high cost: the monthly fee for them is deducted from the account every month in the amount of 550 rubles. ("Smart"), 12.90 rubles. (“Smart“ Unlimited ”; for subscribers connected after 08/31/16 - 19.90 rubles), 900 rubles. ("Smart +").
Of course, the subscription fee includes not only unlimited calls to MTS numbers, but also the amount of free minutes for calls to numbers of mobile operators (in your region), text messages, and Internet traffic. Despite the favorable MTS tariff for calls within Russia (unlimited communication), the Smart line TPs are still more popular with active Internet users. Therefore, if there is no need for all the services that are included in the subscription fee for TP, it makes sense to use the most favorable tariff for MTS calls in Russia (Super MTS) or activate an additional option on your existing TP.
For the possibility of connecting a tariff plan and the “Profitable Intercity” additional service, check on the mobile operator’s portal, through the contact center or in the company’s office. You can also clarify this in your personal account - if the service / tariff plan is available for connection / transition, then it means that you can use them in your TP in the region.
