MTS home region - what is it. Options for traveling abroad. Connecting the “Home Region”

When studying the service offerings of different mobile operators in Russia, you will definitely come across the concept of home region. It is basic for almost all mobile communications companies operating throughout the country. The amount of payment for calls, mobile messages and other services provided often depends on it.

The introduction of the concept of a home region is associated with the vast territory of the country, for which dense coverage must be provided mobile communications much more difficult than for regions with high population density.

What does "home region" mean?

As you know, the territory of Russia is divided into administrative regions, which are separate subjects of the Federation and have the right of relative self-government. Mobile operators open their branches in each region, and the branches have very broad independence, including setting their own prices for communication services. Of course, the cost of some service in this case may differ from the cost of the same service in a neighboring region in one direction or another.

When setting prices and tariffs, marketers take into account a number of factors to ensure that communication services within the region are accessible to the population living there and competitive. At the same time, low intraregional rates are usually compensated by more substantial charges for calls made to other regions of the country. If a subscriber travels outside of his home region for some time, the intra-Russian roaming mode with its own pricing policy is activated.

From the point of view of an ordinary subscriber "home region" is considered to be the one in which his SIM card was purchased and the intraregional tariff connected to it is valid.

What is a home region in MTS?

The concept of home region operates in MTS as follows: this is the region in which you bought your MTS SIM card and use the intraregional favorable tariff. At the same time, you can call other regions without any additional settings.

To make calls to other regions more accessible, you can add an option to your tariff called "Profitable intercity", which will make it possible to call throughout Russia for only 3 rubles per minute with a monthly fee of 40 rubles per month. If your tariff includes a package of prepaid calls to other regions, the option will begin to operate only after the package minutes have been used up. “Favorable intercity” is connected as follows:

• V "Personal account";
• via command *111*903# from your phone;

At the same time, you can make communication more accessible and profitable for yourself, for example, in which a large package of prepaid call minutes with other cities will be reserved.
