Tariff plan smart 10 mts. Smart MTS tariff: description, reviews, connection. Conclusions: for whom are the tariffs of the Smart line from MTS suitable?

New MTS Smart mini tariff recently added to the Smart line. Appeared himself tariff plan quietly and unnoticed - it was not advertised at all, and the operator’s news about its appearance went unnoticed by most subscribers. The fact is that it had the title “Choose best rate for smartphones", which said little. And why recommend to your subscribers a tariff plan with a pitiful package of half a gigabyte of traffic? This tariff plan may seem like sweet candy only in the first days of use, but after a few weeks only “nasty things” creep out This tariff is connected both with the use of the Internet and with conversations on . Below are described all the advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls of this tariff.

Description of the MTS Smart mini tariff

Subscription fee

The subscription fee until May 15, 2014 is 200 rubles. per month for the first two months of use. Starting from the third month, it increases to 250 rubles. If in the future the subscriber switches to “Smart mini” (until May 15, 2014), then the subscription fee for “Smart Everywhere at Home” is not charged for the same 2 months, and from the third month it will be only 50 rubles. per month However, from the 13th month the cost will increase to 100 rubles. Now in 2017, the subscription fee for this tariff is 300 rubles per month.

In a word, for the first two months the subscription fee for Smart mini will be 200 rubles, which was indicated in the advertisement. Starts from the 3rd month until the end of the current year - 300 rubles, and then - 350 rubles. for each month of using the tariff. Is your head swelling yet? No? Well then, read on for the Smart mini MTS tariff description.

Internet

An Internet package of 1 gigabyte size without speed restrictions is included in the subscription fee. However, this volume will be used only for the first 2 months - then the volume of traffic will decrease by half. In addition, if it is exhausted, the speed will not drop - but the Internet will turn off. Funny, right? If you want to continue using the Internet, you will have to pay 75 rubles for every 500 MB. Internet, or immediately 200 rubles. for 2 GB. In addition, GPRS packages are not available on this tariff plan. If the “Smart at home everywhere” option was activated, then the subscriber will be able to use the Internet throughout Russia, but if not, then only on the “home” network. But it is precisely in this place that the insidious tariff trap lurks!

The fact is that most smartphone users do not know how much traffic their device consumes. Everything is quite complicated here - for example, iPhone and latest Androids they simply live on the network, constantly “eating” precious megabytes. Old Nokias won’t even dare to go online without the owner’s consent. The browser also matters a lot - one will load pictures and all the junk that is on the page, and the other will only load text and links. It is the aforementioned iPhones that use (give or take) 1 gig of traffic per month, and after it expires, the device turns into an expensive brick. An ardent iPhone user will spend one and a half to two gigabytes of traffic per month - but now think how much you will have to pay for “turbo buttons” with saving 0.5 and 2 GB of traffic.

Conversations

The cost of calls on this tariff plan is very reasonable - there is no limit for calls within the MTS “home” region, but you will have to pay 2 rubles/min. for calls to MTS to other regions of Russia.

Switch to a free plan

The tariff is valid from 03/06/2014 and when switching to it, the fee for the first month of use is charged.

Everywhere is like home Smart

This option is reminiscent of the “neighboring regions” that have sunk into oblivion, which, however, cost 30 rubles. and not 100. There are still differences, but it is immediately noticeable that the operator is targeting exactly the same audience of subscribers. In a word: using "Smart Everywhere, Like Home", you get a conditional " home tariff". If you unexpectedly find yourself in a neighboring region and do not disable this option (I strongly recommend turning it off), then you will be able to call without limits to MTS in your “home” region, for 8.89 rubles to MTS in the current region and for 15 rubles / min . to numbers of other operators. This is the whole catch.

As you can see, MTS considers the “home tariff” not the amount that you and I think about, namely 8.9 rubles. It is from them that we are given “generous” discounts at home. Internet traffic with the “Everywhere at home Smart” option enabled is provided throughout the Russian Federation.

MTS Smart mini tariff - main advantages

I would like to compare Smart mini with the popular " Super MTS". In the latter, every day they give an hour of free calls within MTS and to landline numbers (!!!), albeit with major exceptions. And if you also generously top up your account with 300 rubles or more, you will receive free calls to MTS as well in other regions, all other calls will have to be paid at exorbitant prices - 2.5 rubles per minute, while in Smart Mini - only 2. Well, initially you get 250 minutes of free calls to numbers within your home region and to MTS Russia, and also 250 SMS, which you can use at your discretion.

However, Smart mini, although it will seem more profitable with its gigabyte of Internet in the first month, only then with a monthly fee of 250-300 rubles will become a luxury for millionaires. At this time, “Super MTS” eats 149 rubles/month. and gives 50 MB of traffic every day. The speed is maximum. If the traffic drops to zero, the speed drops along with it to 64 kb/s, but the Internet continues to work. Such volumes are enough even for an iPhone.

Disadvantages of the MTS Smart mini tariff

And the latest (and unpleasant) thing we see in smart mini MTS rate. Of course, Russian legislation requires showing the user in bold letters all footnotes and clarifications, but no one canceled the asterisks and text in small print at the bottom of the page. Sometimes you don’t even want to peer at the small text at the very “bottom” of the screen, which is made in dull gray on a blinding white background. You understand that almost all laws can be circumvented.

MTS is no exception to this. To read in detail about the terms of the tariff, you need to take a long journey through the MTS website, then stumble upon the PDF. Otherwise, you will only see huge amounts of bright and optimistic advertising. The subscriber will have to spend a lot of effort, time and nerves to understand simple numbers, which the operator carefully tries to hide. Here, for example, is this phrase:

“for subscribers who connected / switched to a tariff plan during the period from March 6 to May 15, 2014, within two months from the moment of connection / switch to the tariff - 0 rubles**; over the next ten months from the moment of connection / transition - 50 rubles.** "...which you come across in the description of the option "Everywhere at home Smart", can be opened by clicking on the link in the description of the tariff, which is disguised under the anchor "Now on territory of all Russia!" Well, how do you feel?

This reminds me of the good old joke: “Honey! You will find salt in the bathroom, in a drawer labeled “medicine”, in an egg carton labeled “Coffee.” What can we say? Smart mini is an amateur tariff. Not for a big fan.

Are you looking for a tariff plan that includes packages of unlimited calls, SMS messages and Internet traffic? We recommend that you consider the Smart MTS tariff. This tariff plan is included in and is one of the cheapest (cheaper only Smart mini). Despite the small subscription fee, the Smart MTS tariff has attractive conditions.

Description of Smart MTS tariff

The Smart tariff will be beneficial for subscribers who often communicate within the MTS network, periodically make calls to numbers of other operators and use the Internet to browse websites.

The tariff plan provides for a monthly fee of 450 rubles for Moscow and the Moscow region and 300 rubles per month for other regions of Russia.

We will not explain why subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region have to pay more; we believe that everyone already knows the answer. Considering current prices, we can conclude that the tariff is from MTS Smart

It’s really not expensive, but what does the subscriber get for this fee? Will the tariff be profitable or will active subscribers be forced to regularly pay extra for additional packages of minutes, SMS and Internet? Let's figure it out.

• Smart MTS tariff includes:
• 3 GB of Internet for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region and 4 GB of Internet at home and while traveling around Russia for subscribers in other regions;
• Unlimited calls to MTS Russia at home and while traveling around Russia;
• 500 minutes to all numbers of other operators in the home region and MTS of Russia;

500 SMS to home region subscribers at home and while traveling around Russia. Such packages of minutes, SMS and Internet are available within Smart tariff Only calls to MTS numbers will be completely unlimited. Calls to numbers of other operators, additional SMS and megabytes will be paid.

The official MTS website does not provide all the information about the tariff. Detailed information on prices is available only after downloading separate file. In addition to prices, you can find a lot of other interesting information there. Each tariff plan has hidden conditions and the Smart MTS tariff is no exception. We suggest that you first familiarize yourself with the prices for communication services within the Smart tariff, and then we will move on to discussing hidden conditions.

The cost of communication services on the Smart MTS tariff

The Smart tariff plan provides for various fairly large packages of minutes, SMS and Internet, but this is not enough for all subscribers and sometimes additional costs cannot be avoided. Of course, you can connect to a different tariff, but even this does not guarantee you the absence of additional costs. Not all communication services are included in Smart tariffs, so sometimes expenses are inevitable. In order not to be surprised later by incomprehensible write-offs, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with detailed information about the prices provided for by the Smart MTS tariff.

The Smart tariff provides the following prices:

• After 500 minutes per month, the cost of one minute of communication with a subscriber of another network within the home region will be 2 rubles;
• Calls to numbers of other operators outside the home region will cost 5 rubles per minute;
• Calls to CIS countries - 35 rubles per minute;
• Calls to European countries - 49 rubles per minute;
• Calls to other countries - 70 rubles;
• After the Internet traffic package is exhausted, an additional 500 MB package is connected for 75 rubles;
• SMS to mobile phones in your home region after the package is exhausted - 1 ruble;
• SMS to mobile phones in other regions of Russia at home and while traveling around Russia - 3.80 rubles;
• SMS to international mobile operators - 5.25 rubles;
• MMS to mobile Russian operators— 6.50 rub.

Disadvantages of the Smart MTS tariff

The Smart MTS tariff provides good conditions, but do not forget that each tariff plan has its own disadvantages. On the official MTS website only positive sides Smart tariff, while there is no information about its characteristic disadvantages. Hidden conditions for the tariff can be found in a document with a detailed description of the tariff plan, which can be downloaded on the MTS website or here.

If you do not want to look for hidden terms in this document yourself, then the information below will be useful to you. We carefully studied the MTS Smart tariff and identified all the hidden conditions. Which ones are significant and which ones are not is up to you to decide.

The Smart MTS tariff has the following disadvantages:

1. The package of minutes available within the tariff for calls to numbers of other operators (500 minutes in most regions) is spent not only when communicating with subscribers of other networks, but also when making calls to MTS numbers outside the home region. After the package is exhausted, calls to MTS Russia will still remain free, but you will have to pay for communication with subscribers of other networks.
2. If you have recently changed your tariff, you will have to pay extra to switch to Smart. In addition to paying the subscription fee, another 200 rubles will be withdrawn from the account.
3. The Smart tariff cannot be used in modems or routers. If you install a SIM card with a tariff in the modem, you will not be able to fully use the Internet. Speed ​​will be limited to the maximum low value. Considering the size of the Internet traffic package, it is difficult to call this drawback significant, but you should be aware of this limitation.
4. After the monthly Internet package provided with the tariff has been exhausted, the subscriber will automatically be connected to additional Internet packages within the “Additional Internet Smart” option until the main package of the tariff is updated. The volume of the additional package is 500 MB and will cost you 75 rubles.
5. When located in the Sakhalin Region, Norilsk, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Kamchatka Territory, Magadan Region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the speed within the included volume of 3 GB is limited to 128 Kbps.
6. If the subscriber’s balance becomes equal to or below zero (but not lower than minus 300 rubles), then for the next 61 days he will only have access to incoming calls, receiving SMS and calls to service numbers MTS. At the same time, during the specified period, the “Unlimited forwarding from a direct number” / “Sovintel Service” / “TSS Service” group service is written off in full. If after this period your balance does not exceed 0.01 rubles, the possibility of receiving these services is terminated.
7. Failure to receive credit to the subscriber's Personal Account within 61 days after the expiration of the above 61-day period Money in an amount sufficient to achieve a positive balance on the Personal Account, or non-use by the subscriber paid services during a period of 61 days will mean the subscriber’s unilateral refusal to fulfill the contract.
8. From January 20, 2016, when connecting and switching to the Smart tariff, the MTS Music service is automatically activated. The service is provided free of charge and is valid for 30 days. The operator promises to automatically disable the service after the free period expires, but we advise you not to rely on the operator and do it yourself if you do not need this service.

Of course, we have not listed all the disadvantages of the Smart MTS tariff. We have provided only information that has been confirmed. If you believe the reviews of subscribers, then the tariff has many more disadvantages. MTS, like other operators, never ceases to amaze with its greed and continues different ways impose additional costs on subscribers. If you know other disadvantages of the tariff, be sure to share this information with other subscribers in the comments.

By the way, in detailed description The official name of this tariff plan is marked with the date - "Smart 032017".

Tariff parameters

The parameters of this tariff plan differ in different regions, so we will consider it using the example of a specific region - Moscow and the region.

Let's take a look at the tariff parameters on the official MTS website:

• Subscription fee– 550 rubles per month (Until February 25, 2019 - 500 rubles per month).
• Mobile Internet – 6 GB per month (until February 25, 2019 - 5 GB per month).
• Package of minutes – 550 to all networks in Russia.
• SMS package – 550 to home region numbers.
• Tariff plan parameters when traveling around Russia (national roaming) are the same as in your home region. But when you activate any of the services (Internet, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS), the “Tariff is valid throughout Russia” will be automatically connected. It is this function that allows you to communicate outside your home region “Like Home,” and it costs 15 rubles. If the next day MTS communication services are activated again, you will again be charged 15 rubles. Officially - “for expanding the coverage area of ​​tariff packages.”
• Outgoing calls to any MTS numbers after the end of the package of minutes are free.
• Outgoing calls to other numbers in your home region – 2 rubles per minute.
• Outgoing calls to other numbers in other regions – 5 rubles per minute.

• The remaining packages of minutes, SMS and Internet are transferred to the next month.

What's worth noting? This article was written on January 6, 2018. At this moment, there is no news from MTS regarding changes in tariff plans, and there is also no information in the description of the tariff plan. But in the detailed description, located in the PDF file, it is written that for subscribers who switch to the tariff from January 15, 2018, the Internet package will be only 3 GB.

How to switch to the MTS Smart tariff?

You can switch to the MTS Smart tariff at personal account MTS or using USSD request *111*1024*1#📞

Personal opinion

The tariff is quite reasonable, especially with the transfer of packages to the next month. The subscription fee could be a little lower, but that's okay. This tariff plan is not very suitable for traveling around Russia, since you will have to pay to expand the coverage area of ​​the tariff packages - 15 rubles every day of using communication services.

Also, the tariff will become less attractive from January 15, 2017, as the mobile Internet package will be reduced (for those who connect to the tariff or switch to it starting from January 15). And 3 GB of mobile Internet for 500 rubles per month is not very much.

Again, it’s hard to say whether I would use this tariff or not, since my tariff plan is much more profitable. But previously I had to use Smart, although the conditions there were completely different. Now I could recommend Smart, but only with five GB of mobile Internet, not three.
