“Home region” on Megafon, what is it? “Incoming when traveling around Russia.” What is indicated under the asterisks

Home region– this is the territory where the subscriber’s number was registered. Within its boundaries the most favorable tariff for communication. Moreover, if you travel to another region of the country, you can activate an option under which the cost of a call will be the same as in your home territory.

If you are planning a move or a trip to another region of Russia, make sure that this option is available where you are going to go. Activation of the option is possible for a majority of Megafon tariff packages. The packages available for connection include tariffs A, B, C, D, E, Prior, Individual, Penny, Student, Unified, Military, MegaFon-Modemm and others. “Home region” is an undoubted convenience for active users, allowing them to save a decent amount of money on calls.

Service cost Home region

“Home Region” is a paid service that requires a subscription fee and daily withdrawals of pennies from the account. So, when you activate the option, an amount of 25 rubles will be withdrawn from your account. It is removed every time you connect the service for each individual region.

The subscription fee is fixed and amounts to 2 rubles per day. This is very convenient, because by debiting funds daily, you can avoid unnecessary expenses by using the service only during your stay in another region.

Methods for connecting the “Home Region”

A subscriber who has changed his territorial location can activate the “Home Region” service immediately before entering another region. To do this, the mobile operator offers one of three options:

1. By dialing a simple combination of numbers *437*55#, then press the call button.
2. Using the “Service Guide” option. To do this, you need to dial the following combination on your phone: 105#. Press call and, following the prompts, activate the service.
3. By contacting your mobile operator. To do this, call 0050 and, after waiting for the voice menu to be announced, press “0”.

Please note that you can also quickly check with your operator about the possibility of connecting to the service for the region of the country you require. To check the status of the service, just dial *437*55*0# on your phone and call.

How to disable "Home Region" from MegaFon

Disabling the service can be done at the time of leaving the preferential region. To do this, you can use two methods:

1. By contacting mobile operator by short number 0050.
2. By dialing the combination *437*55*2# and call. This method much more accessible and convenient.

By purchasing a SIM card from the MTS operator, we enter into an agreement for the provision of communication services in our home region. That is, in the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region the basic tariffication will always be maintained. It will change only when moving to another area or region. Also, “Home Region” from MTS is a whole series of tariff modifiers that allow you to get interesting service conditions when traveling around Russia. Let's look at them in more detail.

What is MTS home region

First, we need to understand the geographical features of the provision of communication services. MTS's home region is the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region, where subscribers are provided with the opportunity to receive services in accordance with the basic tariff. That is, standard prices apply here, which are usually prescribed in price lists - these are the affordable cost of outgoing calls, free incoming calls and adequate prices for the Internet.

Outside the geographic boundaries of Moscow and the Moscow region, home region tariffs are disabled and the subscriber switches to intranet roaming. Many modern tariff plans allow roaming at home rates, but some services (for example, SMS) are charged differently there. The worst situation is for residents of border areas, where the phone can rush from its base station to the guest station.

If we look at the map of MTS’s home region and coverage area, we will find a note that the map was compiled by a computer and does not take into account the peculiarities of radio wave propagation and does not coincide with the geographical boundaries of the region.

Connecting the “Home Region”

• “Everywhere at home Smart” – designed for users of older versions of some tariffs from the “Smart” line;
• “Everywhere is like home” – we will accept this option as the main one;
• “Inbox while traveling around Russia” is an excellent option for travelers around Russia;
• “50 SMS while traveling around Russia” and “100 SMS while traveling around Russia” are interesting options for those who like to communicate via text messages.

We will tell you how to connect the “Home Region” on MTS, and what will be the features of tariffing for services in the regions.

Option “Everywhere at home”

When planning to connect the “Home Region” to MTS, users want to count on more favorable tariffs for calls when traveling around Russia. But there is no such service in the operator’s network, but there is a profitable modifier “Like home everywhere”. It is valid for all tariffs, with the exception of those that already have standard tariffs even for travel (these include tariffs from the “Smart” line). Let's see what a subscriber who uses this option will receive:

• Free incoming calls – incoming calls often take the lion's share Money. On modern tariff plans they are free, but on many tariff plans they are charged;
• 3 rubles/min for calls to phones in your home region - any numbers, both landline and cell phones. These prices apply outside of Moscow and the region;
• All outgoings within Russia 3 rubles/min – an excellent inexpensive intercity outside the home region from MTS;
• 100 SMS per day to any Russian numbers is a worthy addition to such a useful option.

The most attractive thing is that using the option requires the lowest subscription fee. For connection you need to pay 30 rubles, and the daily subscription fee will be only 7 rubles/day, disconnection is free. Let's look at how to connect the “Home Region” from MTS (more precisely, the “Like Home Everywhere” option). To do this, you need to dial the USSD command *111*3333# or send an SMS with the text “3333” (without quotes) to the free service number 111.

The easiest way to connect it is through your “Personal Account”, using it from your computer. In order to disable the “Home Region” from MTS, you need to dial the USSD command *111*3333# or send an SMS with the text “33330” (without quotes) to number 111.

If you have returned to your home region and do not intend to leave its borders in the near future, be sure to disable the option. Otherwise, the subscription fee will be wasted. Automatic shutdown no option provided.

Other options

The “Home Region” tariff does not exist in MTS, but we have a large number of tariff modifiers to choose from. We have already looked at what the “Everywhere at home” option offers. But it is not suitable for many subscribers. We will therefore consider three alternative proposals.

“Everywhere is like home Smart”

The “Everywhere at home Smart” option is aimed at subscribers using outdated versions of the “Smart” tariff plans and the current version of the “Smart” tariff Smart Mini" For each tariff, the option offers its own advantages. For example, “Smart Mini” users are offered 1 GB of traffic, 250 minutes to any phones in the home region and MTS numbers throughout Russia, unlimited to MTS numbers in the home zone, as well as free incoming calls.

Users are also provided with 250 text messages and reduced prices for sending CMC to MTS numbers outside the home region (3.8 rubles/piece). The subscription fee is 100 rubles/month for all tariff plans.

“Incoming when traveling around Russia”

If you have to leave the MTS home region, use the “Everywhere at home Smart” modifier. It makes incoming calls free, but only if they are received from MTS phones in the region in which the traveler is located. For example, if you are in Krasnodar region, and they call you from Novosibirsk MTS, then the call will be paid.

The option is quite strange in terms of content, it will be useful only to those who have all subscribers in phone book use communication from MTS. But it's free, which is a plus. If you are going to leave your home region, connect the modifier with the USSD command *111*473# or send an SMS with the text “473” to the number 111. Disconnections can be made using a similar command or an SMS with the text “4730”. Messages are sent without quotes.

Upon returning to your home region, MTS will automatically return to the basic tariff. It is not necessary to disable the service.

SMS packages

The package offers “50 SMS when traveling around Russia” and “100 SMS when traveling around Russia” are aimed at those who like to send SMS while in domestic Russian roaming. Message tariffication and connection:

• 50 SMS – 135 rubles, to connect, dial the USSD command *111*124# or send an SMS with the text “124” (without quotes) to service number 111;
• 100 SMS – 180 rubles, to connect, dial the USSD command *111*125# or send an SMS with the text “125” (without quotes) to service number 111.

Messages are valid for 30 days. The modifier works on almost all tariffs, with the exception of tariffs of the “Smart” line. When returning to your MTS home region, the basic home tariff begins to apply. To check the number of remaining SMS, use the USSD command *100*2#.

Instead of numerous USSD commands and SMS commands, you can use the more convenient MTS “Personal Account”, which is available both in your home region and in intranet roaming.

Internet discounts

Not to mention discounts on the Internet outside the home region of MTS would be a crime against society - many subscribers can easily do without SMS and voice communications, but cannot imagine their life without world wide web. If your TP does not provide traffic that is valid throughout Russia, use the “Super BIT” option. It operates throughout the country and offers 3 GB of Internet traffic. The subscription fee is 350 rubles/month, the same tariff will apply in the home region.

To connect the option, you need to send the USSD command *111*628# or use “ Personal account" If you don't need Mobile Internet When returning to your home region, be sure to disable this service to avoid being charged an extra subscription fee. For modem owners, we can recommend the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option, valid throughout Russia (only for the “MTS Connect-4” tariff). It offers access at the specified speed for 750 rubles/month without traffic restrictions.

The downside is that outside the MTS home region, an additional subscription fee of 50 rubles per day will be charged from the number - the same applies to other Internet options for the specified tariff.

Do you want to communicate while traveling around Russia at the prices of your home region? The service from Megafon “Home Region” is just for you!

The home region is the territory where the subscriber number was registered. Within its limits you can get the most favorable conditions for communication. At the same time, if you are leaving for another region, you can activate a special service when the cost of calls remains the same as in your home region.

If you decide to travel, first make sure that the service is available to you. You can activate the option for most MegaFon tariffs.

More detailed information can be obtained from the official portal. MegaFon's Home Region is an undeniably convenient service for active people, which allows you to significantly save on communications.

How much does the option cost?

Of course, a certain fee is charged for the option, but it is so small that it is completely unnoticeable for the budget. When adding a service, the amount of 25 rubles is debited from the account. This will be charged for each addition.

The subscription fee is charged in the amount of 2 rubles per day. This is a very convenient option, since you don’t have to spend extra money when you are in another area.

How to connect “Home Region”?

A client who has traveled outside of his home country home network, can add the option just before entering another region. To do this, you can use one of three methods:

• Dial a simple combination *437*55#
• Use the Service Guide system. It works via request *105# . Follow the on-screen instructions to connect successfully
• Contact your operator. To do this, call 0500 and when the auto-informer answers you, press 0

It is worth saying that when using the latter option, you can consult about the connection for the desired region. To check if the service works for you, dial *437*55*0# .

How to delete a service?

It makes sense to disable the option after leaving the region. There are two options for this:

• Call the operator on the number 0050
• Use a combination *437*55*2# . This method works faster and is much more convenient.

Be sure to check that there are enough funds in your account. It is also worth clarifying that the option is enabled and disabled in time.

Russian mobile operator MTS is one of the Big Three, meaning its services are used by tens of millions of subscribers. In the summer of 2017, he and other operators were given a difficult task - to cancel national roaming throughout Russia, and this had to be done as quickly as possible. Yesterday the editors of the site wrote that this operator is for some of its subscribers. A few hours ago, MTS itself spoke about all the innovations, publishing detailed information on its website.

According to official data from the operator’s website, it has changed communication prices for all subscribers in Russia. The innovations affect all subscribers who are outside their home region. Now they will have to pay significantly less than before. To avoid any ambiguity and confusion, the editors of the site decided to provide original text from the MTS website without any changes. Although, of course, someone will still have questions. Each of them can be answered by the operator’s employees in communication shops or by calling the hotline number.

Text from the operator's website:

From February 28, 2018, MTS begins to introduce new prices for calls, SMS and Internet outside the home region in the MTS network on a number of tariff plans*. The new conditions allow MTS subscribers to reduce communication costs when traveling around Russia by 2 to 10 times.

You can see the new basic prices for trips around Russia in the table and compare it with the old conditions using the example of the Super MTS tariff**:

Price comparison table

If you have a “Smart” tariff, “ Smart Unlimited", "My Unlimited"

From February 28, 2018, on these tariffs, including archived versions****, when traveling around Russia in the MTS network* you will be able to use the Internet, minutes and SMS from the included packages without additional payments. Minutes from the packages will be spent on outgoing calls to all numbers in the region of residence and to MTS numbers throughout Russia. After the package is exhausted, calls to MTS Russia will remain free.

If your package of minutes includes long-distance calls in your package, they will also be used from the package when calling numbers throughout Russia when you are outside your home region.

All incoming calls from the region where you are located will be free, other incoming calls will cost RUB 5.50/min. Outgoing calls to numbers of other operators in the home region and the Russian Federation, if long-distance calls are not included in the package - 5.50 rubles/min. SMS messages for numbers in the region of residence will be spent from the package.

Please note that from this date, MTS will also stop charging for the “All Russia Smart” and “Smart Everywhere at Home” options on the specified tariff plans; communications will be paid in accordance with the new tariff principles for trips around the country.

If you have a tariff line “Super MTS” or “My Friend”

From March 14, 2018, when traveling around the country in the MTS network*, all incoming calls from numbers in the region of your stay will become free, in contrast to the previous 10.9 rubles per minute, and the cost of outgoing calls to local numbers will be equal to home tariffs instead of the previous 14 rub./min. Please note that from this date MTS will also stop charging for options*** on the specified tariff plans, and communications will be paid at the basic tariffs for trips within the country.

If you have connected any Internet option of the “BIT” or “MiniBIT” line, now it will also work when traveling around Russia: without additional connections and without additional charges.

Additional optimization of travel expenses

It will also remain possible to connect options to further optimize costs when traveling around the country if you make a lot of calls and often receive calls from your home region or other regions of Russia.

For tariffs of the “Super MTS” and “My Friend” lines, the option “Russia is at home everywhere” will be available, which will allow you to receive any incoming calls for free while traveling around the country and call numbers of all operators in the country for 3 rubles per minute.

For tariffs of the “Smart”, “Smart Unlimited”, “My Unlimited” lines - the “Russia Home Package” option, with which all incoming calls will be free, and outgoing calls and SMS to numbers of other operators in the home region will be spent from the included packages.

As you can see, the mobile operator MTS has indeed changed the terms of service for all its subscribers in Russia. Now they have to pay much less or not pay at all for what used to be a paid service. Many services that allow you to use your tariff plan outside the home region will soon stop working, and if they are already connected, then the options will become free, since there is no need for them.

It is important to note that most of the new conditions come into force on February 28, that is, for now the old prices for services outside the home region are in effect and all services that allow you to save money will be debited from your account. Warn your friends and family about all the changes, especially if they often travel around Russia.
