MTS Internet package in roaming. “Everywhere is like home”

Useful tips

The variety of mobile operators and the localization of their activities is the first and main reason for the existence of roaming. In the absence of coverage in certain territories, the operator allows the subscriber to fully use the capabilities of mobile communications. To do this, you should know the features of using roaming.

MTS, the most popular company in our country, provides ample opportunities for its subscribers regardless of their location. In addition to knowing how to enable roaming on MTS everywhere, you need to understand its types, features, and know the necessary commands.

International roaming, mobile connection

A favorable tariff designed to serve subscribers located outside the territory of their country is called “Zero without Borders”. When going on vacation or on a business trip abroad, it is recommended to activate this package. How to enable roaming on MTS in Russia after this? You should enter the command *111*3333# on the dial panel and press the “Call” button.

Of course, in our country it is possible to use MTS communications without connecting to a special tariff and activating roaming. However, this leads to the rapid disappearance of funds from the mobile account. It is noteworthy that this applies not only to calls, so you should immediately enable SMS roaming on MTS.

Every day, an increasing number of our compatriots are faced with the need to temporarily travel outside of Russia (for vacation, conferences, international exhibitions, negotiations), so more attention is focused on the possibility of using the operator’s services abroad. You can enable international roaming on MTS, as well as national roaming, after activating a special tariff - “Zero without borders”. We send the command *111*4444# and the service is activated.

Enable MTS roaming abroad It is very important to prevent the irrational use of funds in a mobile account and ensure constant communication. You should not think that the direct connection will create financial difficulties: if the use of mobile communications is not needed or is minimized, your balance will not experience serious changes.

other methods

In addition to the above methods, when a direct command is sent, there are alternative ways to enable roaming on MTS. They are quite similar to the ways to connect all the services and options of the operator - this can be done by contacting the customer communication center or the company branch.

In addition, you can enable roaming on the operator’s official website through the “Personal Account” application.

Using your MTS personal account, you can easily manage any options, and activate or disable them. So, for example, you can hide your number, .

We are so accustomed to constant access to the Internet that we do not want to give it up in any situation. Even if we travel, it is more convenient to always stay online in order to be able to check the most current information about the weather, plan a walk route, write a message to friends or simply post a photo on Instagram. Mobile Internet on a tablet or smartphone can help you with this.

How to stay online?

Let's start with the fact that you can work with the Internet in different ways - both free and those that require a certain fee. It all depends on what you expect when connecting to the Internet. The tasks vary depending on the duration of your connection, its regularity, and the amount of data transferred. For example, going to VK and sending a couple of messages cannot be compared with downloading a movie using Torrent. Therefore, you need to take this into account when looking for the Internet abroad.

MTS, for example, is a leader in the field of mobile connections in roaming. Therefore, we will talk about this company in today’s article, talking about the Internet for mobile devices. True, the cost of such a connection is quite high. In the meantime, let's look at other options for staying online. Some of them, by the way, require absolutely no payment.

Free Wi-Fi hotspots

If you travel abroad, you can safely rely on open Wi-Fi networks. They can be found near some cafes, restaurants, hotels, train stations, airports and other crowded places. If we talk about European countries, it is very easy to find an Internet access point there. The USA, Canada and other developed countries are the same.

The coverage area of open Wi-Fi networks is quite wide, so it will most likely meet your needs without any fees. If you need the connection to be present in your device constantly, then you should pay attention to paid services. For example, the same wireless connection networks from the MTS operator. They are located in many countries, so where you go, you are likely to find them.

Paid Wi-Fi from MTS

Let's start by telling you the price of connecting and using services - it's 40 rubles for every hour of access. You can't say it's cheap. In fact, the cost of services is quite high, even taking into account the comfortable conditions for the user and flexible settings of the tariff plan. By the way, nothing is reported about it on the company’s website.

But it is known that the MTS network has 800 Internet access points around the world. Everyone has the same password and login, which will be provided to you as a subscriber to the service. Access points are located anywhere - in various entertainment venues, at transport infrastructure facilities, in places where tourists gather.

How to connect Wi-Fi?

Connecting to the MTS Wi-Fi service is very simple. You need to send a message including the word pass to the short number 1106, specially designated by the company. In the response message you will receive the login under which you were registered in the system, as well as a password (this will be the network access key).

MTS can write off the above-mentioned 40 rubles for hourly Internet access abroad in two ways. The first is a withdrawal from the user's subscriber account, the second is payment using a bank card. It is noteworthy that anyone can use this service, regardless of whether they are connected to MTS or not.

The advantage of Wi-Fi of this kind from MTS - unlimited Internet abroad - will allow you to download movies at high speed or, for example, upload archives with photographs. This is necessary to free up space or gain access to entertainment media content.

How to set up Wi-Fi?

MTS makes it very easy to set up Internet abroad. Since the service subscriber receives a password and login on his mobile phone, all he needs to connect is to enter these data. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to transfer them to anyone - the system will not authorize a second device under the same parameters. Therefore, if you would like to share the same key with friends, you will be disappointed.

But the advantage of such a connection is its absolute simplicity and speed. No need to worry about whether your phone will get a signal or not. You can be absolutely sure that Wi-Fi is a stable, high-speed connection that provides ample opportunities for your tablet, smartphone or laptop, even while traveling.

Mobile Internet and its advantages

However, there are situations when we are not able to log in from a fixed wireless Internet point. For example, we are traveling across the country, far from Wi-Fi routers, but need to check our route using online maps. Of course, only a mobile connection is suitable for such needs. It is provided, for example, by MTS. Roaming (Internet) abroad will cost more than within the country, but the quality of the service will remain quite high. There is no need to worry about connection speed. The main thing is to choose the tariff with which you would like to interact and configure it correctly.

Internet tariffs from MTS

In total, the mobile operator has three packages that are beneficial for using Internet services. They are called “BIT Abroad”, “Super BIT Abroad”, and also “Maxi BIT Abroad”. Connection, operating conditions, as well as restrictions for each of the specified tariff plans differ. We will talk about each of these tariffs in more detail in this article.

"BIT Abroad"

The easiest option to connect MTS Internet abroad (reviews indicate that it is also the most profitable) is to activate this tariff plan. It provides for a traffic volume of 30 megabytes per day at a cost of 300 rubles per day. This quota applies, according to the terms of service, to countries in Europe, the CIS, the USA, Canada, China, Turkey and some other countries popular for domestic subscribers. If the service user enters the territory of other countries (or is located somewhere on the high seas), the data volume is reduced to 5 megabytes, and the cost increases to 1,200 rubles per day. If you are planning to travel to another country, it is obviously unprofitable to use the service offered by MTS (Internet abroad).

You can find out how to activate the “BIT Abroad” tariff by going to the page on the company’s website. It states that to activate you need to dial one of the commands: *111*2222# or *212#. In addition, you can activate the service using SMS message 2222 sent to number 111, as well as using the subscriber’s online account. The cost is written off only if the user connects to the network.

"Maxi BIT Abroad"

The second tariff plan in terms of data volume is the “Maxi” package. Its conditions are the same as the previous one, the only difference is how many megabytes will be available to the subscriber at what price. So, mobile Internet abroad (MTS Maxi BIT) will cost 600 rubles per day for the first group of countries and 2,200 rubles if the user leaves their borders. In this case, a quota of 70 and 10 megabytes is given for spending, respectively. Connection is carried out using the command *111*2223# or by sending a message with the numbers 2223 to 111.

"Super BIT Abroad"

The third package tariff - “Super BIT” - is the most voluminous in terms of the traffic provided. According to it, Internet abroad (MTS is a service provider) will cost 1,500 rubles per day of use for a user from the listed countries, as well as 4,000 rubles for working on the network from the territory of other states. In this case, the data volume is 200 and 20 megabytes, respectively.

You can activate this plan by sending a request *111*2224# or the message “2224” to 111.

How to choose?

It’s quite easy to choose the tariff plan with which you would be more comfortable working. You immediately need to decide on the purpose of activating the service from MTS. Connecting the Internet abroad is quite simple, we have already written about this; Another thing is the feasibility of such expenses. The cost of the third tariff plan is colossal. You will likely be able to save money by choosing an alternative network access source. Therefore, we pay attention to why you need to connect on a tablet or smartphone. Most often, the MTS roaming service (Internet abroad) is taken for the simplest actions that are required away from fixed Wi-Fi networks: checking mail, social networks, weather or navigator. For this, the minimum tariff - 30 megabytes per day - will be quite sufficient. And its cost is adequate - 300 rubles.

If we talk about more voluminous plans, then they are even suitable for performing some work tasks when connected from a laptop. However, is there any point in purchasing such expensive tariff plans? Wouldn’t it be easier to look for landline Internet in the area where you are going to connect to it? This would be more reasonable, because MTS Internet abroad (tariffs provided for network connection from abroad) are too expensive.

As a last resort, if you really have circumstances when you need to send a data file over the Internet, the volume of which exceeds 30 megabytes, and there is no civilization nearby, it is reasonable to connect to “Maxi” and “Super”. But you can choose between them purely based on the required amount of traffic.

What if it's not enough?

On the website of the MTS operator (Internet abroad, tariffs and conditions for its provision are described here) there is also information with guidance on what to do if the traffic allocated under the “BIT”, as well as “BIT Super” and “BIT” tariffs Maxi" is not enough for the user's work. Basic tariffs that are valid within the country (for example, MTS tablet) do not provide Internet abroad, so you should not count on it.

In order not to exceed the allocated quota and not to spend a lot of money, the operator offers each subscriber a special service. It's called the "Turbo button". Its conditions are the same as the “BIT” (basic) plan - for 300 rubles per day an additional 30 megabytes of traffic are provided. To activate this option on your phone you need to dial the combination *111*485#. There is no need to disable the service, since its operation will be terminated within 24 hours after activation, and also in the event that the provided traffic volume has ultimately been exhausted.

In addition to information about its tariff plans, MTS also provides users with information on how to use the Internet while roaming cheaper and more profitable.

For example, the operator recommends topping up your account in advance with the amount you expect to spend on communications. This will save you from troubles such as having to look for funds to replenish while traveling and wasting your time on it. MTS also recommends activating the “In Full Trust” service. It allows you to use mobile communications even in cases when there are no funds left on your balance, thus “driving” it into a negative value. Again, this will allow you to talk right away, and pay for the services provided later.

Also pay close attention to the settings of your mobile phone. The operator recommends disabling automatic operator settings so that the user does not lose money from the account if he was in the border zone and the phone independently switched to roaming mode.

Finally, while keeping track of your balance and data usage, pay attention to up-to-date information on how much data you've spent. Do not forget that this data is updated with a delay, because it takes additional time for foreign telecom operators to provide the balance to MTS. For this reason, do not rush to resume a conversation or online access session if you are not sure whether the provided data package was enough for you or not.

Modern people simply cannot live without the Internet. And all television systems in Russia understand this, which is why they offer their customers different tariffs and options that, for a certain fee, will give users a certain amount of traffic for surfing the network. But, unfortunately, if the subscriber leaves his home region, then the fee for using Internet traffic increases significantly. And especially if the subscriber goes abroad and international roaming is activated.

The material provided below will describe in detail MTS Internet when roaming, as well as the cost and services that will allow you to save money abroad while remaining online.

Before talking about services and the Internet abroad, it should be noted that in order to reduce the cost of mobile communications outside your home region, you will need to use a variety of options that are designed specifically for roaming. Subscribers also need to check the activation of international roaming on their mobile device. In addition, the mobile phone must activate international access. Otherwise, this must be done manually.

To check data about which services are included on the SIM card to reduce the cost of Internet abroad, you should use a special code * 152 * 1 #. You can also check active services through your personal account or through the mobile application. To do this, you will need to go to the tab with managing options and if there are no connected services there, then they need to be activated. These options are provided by MTS free of charge.

If we talk about setting up the Internet itself, the subscriber will not need to do anything. Of course, if you have surfed the Internet at least once, even on your home network. In the case when the device was not used and there was no access to the World Wide Web, then you will need to order automatic settings for the Internet on your phone, if they did not arrive by message. The easiest way to order settings is through your personal account, but you can also contact specialists at MTS branded stores or call your telecom operator at 0890.

Price

Internet abroad from the MTS company is significantly different in price from that provided on the home network. Thus, for example, if the Internet is used in national roaming, then the price for 1 megabyte will be 9.9 rubles. But it is impossible to say exactly how much it will cost to access the network and the cost of 1 MB abroad. This is due to the fact that payment terms will be determined by the country in which the client is located.

The only thing that can be said with confidence about the Internet abroad is the very high cost. Significantly more than in Russia. For example, in countries such as China, England, the states and many other countries, the price will be about 30 rubles, but not even for 1 MB, but for 40 KB. If you do the math, the cost of 1 MB will be approximately 700 rubles. Naturally, this seems like a astronomical price. Therefore, before leaving your country, it is recommended to find out exactly how much the Internet costs in a certain country. To do this, you can use the company’s website and specify the required countries to see prices for services. To avoid searching for such a calculator for a long time, you can follow the link: http://www.mts.ru/mob_connect/roaming/i_roaming/tariffs/.

Considering that fact. That the price for the Internet is very high, the MTS operator has made special options that allow you to use the Internet for significantly lower amounts.

Options for saving money on Internet

Clients can use tariff options from the BIT family. Among those that can significantly save the cost of accessing the network are:

BIT abroad;
Maxi BIT abroad;
Super BIT abroad.

Each service has its own specific volume of traffic, as well as different prices.

For example, the Bit service abroad allows subscribers to use only 50 MB of traffic per day while in Belarus, and the cost of this volume will be 300 rubles. For the same amount, subscribers will be able to get 30 MB, but only in the CIS countries and Europe, states and some others. Other countries will be paid 1200 rubles per day, and only 5 MB are provided.

The “Maxi BIT abroad” option will allow subscribers to receive twice as much traffic, although its cost is also doubled. But “Super BIT Abroad” is considered the largest service, which for 1,500 rubles can provide 250 MB of traffic per day in Belarus. At the same price, 200 MB of traffic is provided for Europe. USA, CIS and some others. And also 20 MB for 4,000 rubles for other world countries.

It should be noted that MTS provides a “turbo button abroad” service. Therefore, if the volume of megabytes is not enough, then you can extend the Internet.

Connecting options

As for the activation of the services described above, they are carried out using different methods.

To activate "BIT abroad" use:

service combination * 111 * 2222 #, as well as * 212 #;
You can send an SMS by calling 111. The message should include the numbers 2222;
enable the service through your personal account.

To activate "Maxi BIT abroad" use:

service request with dial * 111 * 2223 #;
sending a text message to the operator by dialing 111, with the numbers 2223;
use to activate your personal account.

To activate “Super BIT Abroad” use:

dial code * 111 * 2224 # ;
sending a message to the operator with data 2224;
activation through your personal account.

Prohibition of access to the network

Subscribers can also disable Internet access abroad. For this purpose, the roaming prohibition service is used. All operations with such a service are provided free of charge, and after enabling the option, access to the Internet will be blocked if the subscriber is roaming abroad.

To connect, a combination of symbols and numbers is used that are entered on the mobile phone. To do this, dial * 111 * 496 #. In addition, another request is used to deactivate roaming, namely * 111 * 2150 #. Using the last command, the subscriber disables not only access to the Internet, but also access to mobile communications. Thus, the operator will completely block communication services while you are abroad.

Few people remember, but at first most operators did not have the concept of roaming, as it is understood now. Subscribers traveled from one region to another and were not afraid that they would have to pay more for traveling beyond certain limits. The restriction was in large areas. Few people knew how to connect additional services in order to pay less outside the borders of their region. Now almost every subscriber knows that MTS Internet roaming in Russia is paid at a special tariff price. Before you have time to leave your home region, you receive an SMS notification that the subscriber has left your home region, so different prices begin to apply, according to the tariff.

Do you have questions about MTS?

A section has opened on the website where anyone can ask a question about communications, tariffs and MTS services. Anyone can also give answers. Let's help each other together.

Russia is a big country and when we travel from region to region we always want to be in touch without changing our personal phone number and operator. At the moment, the cost of roaming by region is rapidly decreasing, and on several MTS tariff plans, calls in roaming at a price per minute of call are the same as in your home region. Choosing a suitable inexpensive MTS tariff for calls while roaming in the Russian Federation is very simple - this detailed review of tariff plans has been prepared for this purpose.

Almost all current tariffs of the MTS operator have standard roaming rates. They include increased costs for outgoing calls and charges for incoming calls. In some cases, call charges for some destinations may differ slightly - the details will be discussed in this review.

Cost of MTS roaming in Russia without monthly fee

When considering the most popular and profitable tariffs of the MTS operator for all-Russian roaming, it should immediately be noted that there are no separate special tariffs for roaming within Russia from the MTS operator. On all plans without a monthly fee, the price of communication in different regions will be almost the same.

The cost of roaming in Russia on the Super MTS tariff

incoming call – 8.9 rubles/minute;
any outgoing to the native region – 8.9 rubles/minute;
All-Russian outgoing calls to MTS numbers – 8.9 rubles/minute;
outgoing to various numbers in Russia – 14.0 rubles/minute;
SMS within Russia – 3.95 rubles/piece;
SMS all over the world – 5.25 rubles/pcs;
MMS – 6.5 rubles;
Internet use – 9.9 rubles per Mb.

There are also minor differences; as an example, you can consider the “RED” tariff, in which the prices for outgoing calls to any other numbers in the regions of Russia are 20.95 rubles/minute. And when you use the “Red Energy” tariff, then the rates for calls to the same direction will be only 8 rubles/minute. And in the “Per-Second” tariff, the cost of roaming completely coincides with the MTS “Super” tariff plan

More detailed information on the prices for calls in roaming on the MTS network in the Russian Federation can be seen on the website of the MTS operator by going to the “Mobile communications - Travel in Russia” department. You just need to select your region where you plan to travel and your tariff plan. If you need to clarify your tariff, use the USSD command *111*59# call.

Cost of roaming in Russia on the Smart tariff

There are practically no separate fees for roaming, the prices are as follows:

any incoming calls – 0.0 rub./minute;
outgoing calls to phones in Moscow and the entire Moscow region without exceeding the package of minutes provided in the tariff - 0 rub./minute;
outgoing packages in the same direction – 1.5 rubles/minute;
calls to all-Russian mobile numbers of the MTS operator – 0 rub./minute;
to other Russian telephone numbers – 3 rubles/minute;
SMS to home region (without exceeding the SMS package) – 0 rub;
SMS to your home region (exceeding the included package) – 1 rub;
other SMS within Russia – 3.8 rubles/pcs;
SMS abroad – 5.25 rubles/piece;
MMS messages – 6.5 rubles/pcs;
Internet – 0 rub./MB (the specified tariff already provides 3 Gb of traffic, available throughout Russia).

The prices are very favorable for anyone traveling to different regions of the country. On previous higher tariff plans of this line, the cost of communication is even more favorable. Thus, the “Smart Top” tariff provides for free use of a certain number of minutes to all any numbers in Russia - they can also be used for domestic Russian roaming.

The cost of roaming in Russia on the Smart mini tariff

This tariff is the lowest in the line; therefore, the cost of roaming calls in it will be the same as the Super MTS tariff. But the rates for calls to other Russian numbers are lower - 10 rubles per minute.

The prices indicated and given in this review for domestic Russian roaming are valid for subscribers who are served in the MTS network in Moscow and the entire Moscow region.
