The tariff plan requires a monthly subscription fee. Which means that the user is obliged to pay the company 400 rubles every month. After payment, he receives a special package of services. It includes minutes for outgoing calls and a package mobile internet.

Among the advantages that the MTS operator offers to subscribers today, it is worth noting the allocated traffic in the amount of 1 GB per month and the availability of free minutes to MTS operator numbers in other regions of Russia as part of the package included in the subscription fee. You can buy an MTS smart mini tariff at official points of sale, including in our online store.

A tariff with a federal number and a direct one with code 495 for the Moscow city number was created specifically for smartphones. The subscription fee includes monthly: 350 minutes of outgoing calls to any numbers in Moscow and the region, as well as 350 minutes of outgoing calls to other regions of Russia to MTS numbers. When you are in Moscow and the Moscow region, all incoming calls are free; when traveling around Russia, when you are in intranet roaming, incoming calls are free when you activate the “Everywhere, like at home Smart” option.

Conversations with other cellular and fixed-line operators are charged separately. Calls within your home region are charged at a rate of 1.50 rubles per minute, and calls to subscribers in other regions of the Russian Federation - 10 rubles per minute. The MTS Smart mini tariff plan includes free 350 SMS, which can be used to numbers in your region. The cost of a message sent to numbers of other networks throughout the country is 3.8 rubles.

Mobile Internet and roaming

The MTS Smart mini tariff allows subscribers to use mobile Internet. This service is already included in the subscription fee. The subscriber is provided with 1 GB of Internet traffic monthly, intended for use in the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region. In other regions of Russia, it is recommended to activate the “Everywhere, like at home Smart” option to use the basic mobile Internet package outside the Moscow region. If the 2 GB limit is exceeded, the subscriber is automatically connected to an additional Internet traffic package in the amount of 300 MB for 30 rubles. To refuse automatic traffic replenishment, you must enter the command *111*936#.

Is a series of “Smart” tariffs
designed for active smartphone users who regularly
accessing the network using the mobile Internet. The article will talk about
MTS "Smart Mini" tariff. Initially, this tariff was advertised as very
beneficial for every novice user and ideal for
subscribers who are inactive on the Internet. However, everything is not as simple as
the operator reports, since the available services and facilities will be able to pass for
useful only at the beginning of operation tariff plan and then it happens
detection of many pitfalls. Problems arise when
use "free" traffic, and during conversations. Further
a description of the tariff plan, its main advantages and
flaws.

MTS Smart mini Tariff description

Subscription fee for MTS Smart mini

Starting from May 15, 2014, there is a single price for the tariff plan in
200 rubles monthly (the first two months of work), and then it happens
increase to 250 rubles. If the subscriber continues to use Smart
Mini" as of May 15, 2014, then the service "Everywhere at home Smart"
is completely free for him in the first two months, and then
is charged at 50 rubles monthly. Further increase occurs
only in the 13th month, after which you will need to pay 100 rubles
monthly.

Thus, if the subscriber is unaware of the full functionality of this tariff
he needs to pay 400 rubles for the first two months, and from the third
until the end of the year of operation - 300 rubles, after which
stable payment of 350 rubles monthly. And it's worth saying
that the negativity regarding prices does not end there.

Mobile Internet on MTS Smart mini

The uniqueness of the system for providing mobile Internet traffic inside
tariff plan is that in the first two months of the subscription
the board covers 1 GB, but after two months this volume will decrease by
50% (up to 500 MB). Unlike other tariffs based on work with
mobile Internet, when the provided traffic is exhausted,
not a reduction in connection speed, but a complete shutdown of the service. At
If you want to continue working, you must activate the “Turbo button” service
or actually buy additional volume at a price of 75 rubles for 500 MB
or 200 rubles for 2 GB. To make matters worse, the tariff plan is not designed for
work with GPRS packages.

And at this point the negative aspects are not over, since it is important
moment in working with the provided traffic is what exactly
The device is used while connected to the mobile Internet. All
depends on the newness of the device, but the developers of the tariff plan clearly do not
thought about taking care of the comfort of subscribers with the latest devices on
iOS and Android platforms. Statistics show that such devices
require up to 1 GB of traffic monthly and these are just averages.
Accordingly, more active users will activate “Turbo
buttons” with regular consistency and replenish the budget of the mobile operator.

Tariffication of calls on MTS Smart mini

Telephone conversations may be one of the positive aspects tariff
plan, since no fees are charged in the home region, and
calls within the territory Russian Federation will cost the subscriber 1.5 rubles
in a minute. It is also worth saying that from 03/06/2014, when changing
tariff, an existing subscriber to “Smart Mini” is provided with a bonus of
form free month work.

“Everywhere is like home Smart”

This connected service reminds all “old-timers” of cellular
operator MTS about a similar service - “Neighboring Regions”. It would seem that,
what is the additional fee for calling within one country?
already a relic of the past, but that was not the case. The subscriber must already
the third month of using “Smart Mini” should be posted in addition to
subscription fee 100 rubles. The catch is that
the prices for activating this service do not please the user. Having left for
borders of the “home” region, the subscriber will call home for 8.89 rubles per
minute of conversation, and communication with numbers of other Russian operators will be
costs 15 rubles every minute. Thus, due to the huge
payments by subscribers who have connected “Smart Everywhere at Home” are formed
low rates for calls within the “home” region. Also
connection “Everywhere is like home Smart” allows you to access the network throughout
country. After all of the above, it's time to form
advantages and disadvantages of this tariff.

The main advantages of the MTS Smart mini tariff

Despite all the negativity of the above, a comparison of “Smart Mini” and
popular “Super MTS” will allow us to say that there are certain advantages
of the described tariff are available. But these advantages immediately kill any
hope for a bright future for subscribers who have connected “Smart mini”. Rate
"Super MTS" is a guiding star for sociable subscribers,
since 60 free minutes are provided daily for communication on
territory of the “home” region and even for calls to some city
telephones. A replenishment of 300 rubles will provide the user with
free calls throughout Russia. But the prices for the rest
directions are 2.5 rubles per minute, which is higher than those offered in
"Smart Mini" prices.

As for mobile Internet, Super MTS offers 50 MB
to each subscriber daily, and if the traffic ends, then
it just reduces the access speed. Thus from comparison
main characteristics, we can safely say that the advantages of “Smart
Mini" can only be traced by a person not burdened with the issue of costs,
who doesn’t care exactly what amount he spends on payment
mobile internet and communications.

Disadvantages of the MTS Smart mini tariff

All the negative aspects of tariffing and provision of services are described above,
but there is also a problem at the stage of connecting to the “Smart Mini”. First
the queue kills any hope for the honesty of the subscriber’s work and
mobile operator that the user agreements when connecting
“Smart Mini” is crammed with the same “pitfalls” that
was said at the very beginning. The MTS company easily bypasses
legislation of the Russian Federation regarding the need to allocate
for the client, all notes and footnotes in such a way that they are
readable. Now, instead of asterisks and small font, a new one has been invented
"Laz": dull gray note text on blinding white
screen, making it almost unreadable.

To study in detail the information about the tariff plan on the website
mobile operator MTS must be carefully followed
all pages of the portal and “unearth” the corresponding PDF file. On
on the surface, only a motley message about bonuses, promotions and
The positive aspects of the tariff are advertising. By opening a particular link in
beautiful description of the tariff plan, the user will come across
abracadabra of complex terms and various monetary amounts.

Bottom line

It is strongly recommended that all users remember the saying: « Free cheese only happens in a mousetrap!”. Study everything carefully
documentation related to the operation of any tariff plan and
exploitation of any paid and, more importantly, so-called
"free" services. We wish you good luck, be careful and don't become
victim of legal scammers!

Among the line of “Smart” tariffs from MTS, the “Smart mini” tariff plan is considered the simplest. Within its framework, the subscriber receives packages of basic services for a minimal fee. Thus, MTS subscribers can always be in touch.

Tariff features

The subscription fee for using the tariff is only 300 rubles. In some regions of Russia it can be either slightly lower - 200 per month, or reach 350 rubles per month.

The package provides the following options:

  1. 250 minutes for calls to home region. It does not matter what kind of operator it is - MTS, Beeline, MegaFon or any other.
  2. 250 SMS for sending within the region.
  3. Internet traffic in the amount of 500 megabytes to 1 gigabyte. The size depends both on the area in which the subscriber lives and on how long he has been using the tariff. In a number of areas, within the first two months, 1 gigabyte is issued; after the period expires, the amount of traffic is halved.

Please note that the service package is only valid if the subscriber is in his home region.

“Everywhere is like home”

One of the features of the tariff is that it only works within your region. As soon as you leave it, roaming is activated and you have to pay several times more for communication. In order not to overpay when traveling, the operator offers subscribers to use the “Everywhere at home” option. When connected, the cost of communication will be the same as at home.

Every month, 100 rubles per month will be withdrawn from your balance for using the function.

To connect, dial the request *111*1021# call key. You can disable the option by typing the request again. When you arrive home, do not forget to deactivate it, otherwise your balance will be charged a monthly fee for use. Thus, your communication expenses will be 400 rubles, instead of 300.

Tariffication

After the basic service packages are used, the following tariffs are activated.

For calls:

  • Within the MTS network - free.
  • To numbers of other operators at home and communication with other MTS subscribers outside the home – 2.
  • The remaining operators outside the region are 14.

Sending messages:

  • To home numbers – 1.50.
  • To numbers in other regions of Russia – 3.80.
  • MMS – 9.90.

Incoming messages are free.

Internet

As part of the package, the subscriber is provided with from 500 to 1,000 megabytes of high-speed Internet. After it is exhausted, the subscriber is automatically provided with an additional 500 megabytes of Internet traffic. In this case, its cost will be 75 rubles. As soon as it is exhausted, you will again be provided with additional traffic and the specified amount will be debited from your balance. Within a month you can be provided with up to 15 additional packages.

If you do not want to receive additional traffic, just dial the USSD request *111*936#.

Please note that Internet traffic is only available within the home. Otherwise, you must use the “Everywhere at home” option.

International calls and SMS

A few words about international communications. The tariff plan does not provide free minutes for communication with other countries. In general, the prices are the same as in most tariff models.

The cost of the call depends on the country. So, a minute of conversation will cost:

  • With subscribers from CIS countries – 35 rubles.
  • With residents of Europe – 49.
  • Other countries – 70.

The cost of sending one short message is 5.25.

Incoming messages are not charged.

Disadvantages of the tariff

Unfortunately, like any other tariff from MTS, “Smart mini” has a number of disadvantages. These include the following:

  1. The tariff is valid only within the home region. Of course, you can activate the “Everywhere at home” service, but it is paid. In addition, if you forget to turn it off in time, you can lose an extra 100 rubles a month.
  2. The catch with the free 250 minutes. They are provided not only for calls to numbers of other operators in the region, but to MTS numbers. That is, if you call MTS numbers for the first 250 minutes, then the subsequent call to Beeline will be charged at a rate of 2 rubles per minute. Therefore, before calling, it is advisable to check the balance of package services. This can be done using the request *100*1#.
  3. Internet. Another big disadvantage is the automatic paid renewal of traffic. It's good if you have a regular black and white phone or an old color model that doesn't require constant updates. But if you are a smartphone owner, then beware. Every day, your device will update all programs installed on it using packet traffic. In most cases, after half a month the basic package will be used up, and you will have to pay for additional megabytes. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly disable the auto-renewal feature or set a limit on Internet use on your mobile device.

Who is the Smart Mini tariff suitable for?

What are the advantages of the package and who will benefit from using it?

The main advantages of the proposal include:

  1. Relatively low subscription fee.
  2. Accrual of the minimum basic package of necessary options.

In general, the tariff will be indispensable for those users who do not leave the borders of the region and have minimal requests for communication services. If you rarely communicate with other subscribers, spend a minimum of traffic and send messages only when necessary, then the tariff is ideal for you.

Switch to Smart Mini tariff

There are several main ways to switch to a tariff plan.

  1. The simplest is to use the request *111*1023#.
  2. More advanced users can go to " Personal Area» on the company website. There you can not only choose a tariff, but also familiarize yourself with its conditions for your region.

  3. Call the operator at 0890 and do the same, using the prompts to change the model.
  4. Dial *111# and select the tariff name.

It is advisable to change the tariff at the end of the month or if you have exhausted the package of functions provided to you. In this case, the previously charged subscription fee will not be debited from your balance in vain.

Also, before changing your tariff, make sure that your account has the amount necessary to pay for the first month of communication.

Question of price

In the sources you can find various cost parameters - 150 rubles, 250 rubles, 200, 300, etc. This is due to some features pricing policy operator.

The company often sets different cost parameters in regions. The amount of income of subscribers in the capital and in Krasnodar, Samara and other cities is different. Experts take this fact into account when determining the cost.

The spread can be between 100-300 rubles, depending on the tariff. Therefore, it is necessary to check the cost with the operator. The official MTS website always provides up-to-date information.

Another reason for the variation is that the tariff plan was updated.

The company changed conditions over time and adjusted parameters. Therefore, outdated information remains in the sources.

Current situation

Now the Smart Mini MTS tariff for 200 rubles has disappeared in a number of regions. The company is gradually moving it to the archive and closing the connection. The reasons are as follows:

  • The plan has become outdated and lost its relevance.
  • For a number of regions, the company does not see any point in updating the tariff.
  • There is Smart, which is not too different in terms of basic conditions.

Therefore, it is not a fact that you will be able to connect the tariff. If the company in the region has closed it, then you will not be able to join the program. Only subscribers who have managed to connect can use it.

If the above methods seem complicated, you can contact the MTS service center for help. The company's employees will help you activate the package and also advise you on the tariff conditions applicable to the package.

How to find out the remaining traffic

In order to constantly be in touch and not go beyond the limits of your tariff plan (which will lead to spending extra money), you need to keep under control the amount of traffic used, minutes sold, the number of SMS and megabytes received. The fact is that unlimited calls within MTS are provided after the allocated preferential minutes have been exhausted (250), and until this point even communication within the network counts towards the preferential minutes. Therefore, checking the spent conversation minutes (including within the network) is very important.

If the Smart Mini MTS limit is exhausted, then the tariffs in Moscow become completely different, and the new prices can very unpleasantly surprise the user.

It is also important to evaluate Internet traffic, since after using the tariff megabytes, the “500 MB for 75 rubles” service comes into force. It is activated up to 15 times a month, which ultimately results in a fairly significant amount of payment. It’s easy to refuse the service of accruing “prize” megabytes - just send a message *111*936# and press “call”.

To check the spent or remaining minutes, megabytes of traffic or the number of SMS, you can use various methods: calling the consultation center, sending SMS, logging into your personal account or USSD request. The last option is the simplest, fastest and most popular.

  1. To find out the remaining megabytes according to the tariff, you need to enter the combination: *111*217# and press call. Information about the traffic available on this device until the end of the month will be sent to your phone.
  2. Send an SMS to number 5340 with the text "?". In response, you will receive a message with information about traffic.
  3. Your personal account provides more complete information. In it you can not only determine the balance for MTS Smart Mini tariffs, but also control what the data was spent on. All you need to do is log in to your account on the mts.ru page and view the “Account Status” section. In the "Package Remaining" item there is information about available minutes, megabytes and the number of SMS.
  4. Also this information is always available to the operator and can be found out by calling customer support.

If you regularly lack traffic, you should consider either changing your course of action or changing your tariff plan.
