What does online service mean on MTS? Option "Online", MTS: reviews and description. Availability of the “VNet” option

The desire of the relevant resources to ruin the Internet, dragging its audience into the prison of social networks, is very sad in itself. What’s doubly sad is that they succeed and people are being fooled. They are led like sheep that are led to the slaughter, but they don’t understand it. Many have already limited themselves within the same “VKontakte”, and are trying to satisfy all their needs only within the framework of this social network, rejecting search engines and other sites. Moreover, people go to virtual world, withdraw into themselves, they literally begin to irritate real communication(a phone call, for example), the need for it disappears completely.

I myself stopped communicating on social networks about 10 years ago, if not more, by removing myself from Odnoklassniki. At first it was addictive and interesting. Who did I not find there! Friends from college, college, school... It was very interesting to see what they were like, to find out how their lives turned out. With many I exchanged a couple of dozen posts the size of the works of Karl Marx. And that is all. No one had the desire to call. Meet - even more so. After satisfying natural curiosity, the understanding came that our paths with these people diverged long ago, everyone has their own life, their own social circle and we do not need to cross. Therefore, after satisfying the initial curiosity, there was a temporary silence, after which someone wrote me the classic “Hello! How are you?". That's what killed me. I’m not a fan of empty questions and answers, and I no longer had the slightest desire to write about my affairs in more or less detail. Moreover, the other side really cares deeply about my affairs. So I deleted my account.

However, I regularly notice young and not so young people on the subway who are literally ready to grind the screens of their smartphones into powder, writing posts in the VK messenger, and having written a monologue there, literally with the trembling of a drug addict in their hands, they switch to Instagram and begin feverishly scrolling through the pictures there. One girl’s little brother almost fell out of the carriage at the station, but she didn’t care, VK-Instagarm was more important. By God, I feel sorry for these people. Especially when you then see them walking down the street and continuing to do the same thing as they walk, risking getting hit by a car and not even paying attention to the rain.

Moscow, Sokolniki, “Beware of Zombies” sign:

And this appeared in Murmansk - a warning about the dangers of social networks in one of the public gardens:

Where does this lead? Towards the loneliness of the 21st century. To the withering away of natural human needs for communication and degradation. Have you found someone on social media? Did you need it? Great! Call and meet, there is nothing else to do there. But no... The guy and the girl communicate with each other there... sitting or lying next to each other.

And it all usually starts with idleness at work...

Now operators are also indulging in this degradation; it is beneficial for them to save traffic by offering unlimited service only in a number of services, such as social networks! And since it’s profitable, we need to be stimulated and not leave there at all, claiming that we really need it! Exchange photos of kittens and young children.

Ok, I spoke out, don’t blame me, it hurts. Now on to the subject. MegaFon recently released extremely poor new “Turn on” tariffs with unlimited options for social networks. Now MTS has first released the “MTS Tablet” tariff with 1 unlimited social service. option to choose from, and at the same time the “VNet” option for other tariffs.

MTS "VSeti"

The option allows you to communicate unlimitedly on the resources VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, OK Live, TamTam, Facebook, FB Messenger, Instagram, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Twitter, Snapchat, Twitch, MTS Connect.

• At tariffs " Smart Unlimited" and Smart+ - for free
• On all other tariffs, except corporate - for a subscription fee 4 RUR/day.

Two questions immediately arise:

1. Where is Telegram?
2. In MTS Connect it was already “0 rubles for traffic. Internet traffic for calls from the MTS Connect application in Russia is not charged" (copied from the official description). Increased file transfer?

When using the specified resources, you do not spend the limit set on the tariff or connected Internet option (except for the “Turbo button” line), with the exception of traffic:

• built on resources with third party resources, for example, YouTube, RuTube, Vimeo, Yandex.Maps, etc.;
• push notifications about new messages on social networks;
• with automatic updates software or background operation of other installed applications;
• when downloading applications from Google Play, App Store or Windows Store;
• when using services through the Opera browser, as well as any other browser in traffic compression mode;
• when accessing the Internet via the wap.mts.ru access point);
• when using the mode private browsing.

The option is valid throughout Russia, except for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Norilsk.

About messengers

After my thoughts about social networks, I would like to again touch upon communication via instant messengers. Operators' voice revenues are not growing, which is why they are raising prices for the Internet, but they are “leading” us to where they want us. So that we use Internet traffic, on which they plan to earn more and more money through more and more additional payments, because without them, messengers for operators are like a pain in the ass.

However, people never stopped calling, and they didn’t even stop calling (on the contrary, fortunately, we now have more calls, i.e. life has not yet completely leaked into the virtual world of social networks). But as for calls via instant messengers, I recently tried to live “the modern way” for a week and started calling through Telegram (which for some reason is not on the MTS list, I repeat, although it is the best in its implementation). I wrote about this on the forum:

Telegram's communication quality turned out to be almost perfect. Especially in comparison with WhatsApp and Viber, where echoes and delays during calls are quite common. With Telegram, the connection is instantaneous, the sound is clear, there is no interference, speech transmission is very high quality and comfortable. Just like on the phone, exactly. Problems can only arise through EDGE, otherwise I successfully talked through it even in the subway. Free and unlimited. Internet - 4G/3G.

1. There are still a lot of stubborn people who don’t want to install Telegram
2. There are still a lot of stubborn people who these days “save battery” by turning off the Internet on their smartphone, and messengers do not work.
3. Still, the Internet is not of sufficient quality everywhere, especially in some places in the Moscow Region and a number of regions of Russia
4. If you call a person via messenger, and he is talking on the phone at the same time, there is no “call waiting” or “busy” on Android - just silence and end of the call. The called party will not know about this
5. If you are talking on messenger, and at that moment you receive a regular call, my smartphone stupidly starts ringing right in my ear and the caller is not informed that I am now talking on Telegram.

In general, I don’t know how calls will actually be implemented in 5G networks, but for now this is just a backup option. I am sure that in 5G only the technology itself (data transmission) within the equipment will change and most subscribers will not even understand what the difference is. We already make calls mainly through applications - albeit pre-installed by the manufacturer of the smartphone itself.

Returning to the MTS “VSeti” option and based on what was written, I would like to draw the following conclusion: not really needed. Largely basic package There will be enough traffic for all these needs, if you don’t abuse it, of course. In 2 days of calling via Telegram, it consumed only 1.8 MB of me. For those who like to upload tons of photos of what they ate for lunch, I advise you to think - are you acting smart? Because for 120 rubles. per month it would be reasonable to see unlim only on YouTube, but that’s exactly what is not here. I’m not talking about the complete unlimited internet that has passed on to our forefathers (even for a reasonable surcharge).

Currently, not a single MTS tariff, including “Smart for Friends,” has an “unlimited” limit on the use of social networks. However, there is an “Online” option, and it provides just such “unlimited” information. In this article we will look at what this service is, how to connect it and what nuances it has.

What is the “VSet” service?

The “Online” option replaced the “ Social media”, which was sent to the archive. When connected, you can communicate without restrictions on most social networks and instant messengers - the Internet traffic from the package in your tariff will not be consumed. The “Online” service applies to the following messengers: WhatsApp, Viber, FB Messenger, Skype, OK Live, TamTam. And on social networks: VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Odnoklassniki. You can chat, view photos, listen to music and watch videos without using up the main traffic package.

How much does it cost to use the “Online” option?

On two tariffs, Smart Unlimited and Smart Zabugorishche, the “On the Web” service is provided absolutely free of charge (connects automatically), on all other tariffs (except for the “Hype” tariff, which is not provided on it) its use will cost 4 rubles per day, or approximately 120 rubles per month.

How to enable the “Online” option

You can connect VNet, like other services, in four ways:

• With help short command, V in this case *345# and a call key;
• Using the “My MTS” application;
• Through your personal account on the MTS website;
• By contacting contact center by calling 0890.

Nuances of the “On the Network” service in MTS

In order for your Internet traffic to be free, you must use only official applications and sites of social networks and instant messengers.

The use of traffic compression mode is not allowed (applies to Opera browser) or private browsing (incognito mode) in any browser.

Please note that social media pages may contain content that is actually located on other sites. That is, while on the VKontakte website, you can watch a video, for example, from YouTube. Naturally, this traffic will be charged outside the “Online” option.

And lastly, the “Online” option does not work in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

If you have any questions, or write in the comments on this page, we will be happy to help you!

Messengers and social. Networks have long been replacing real meetings, but they allow you to maintain relationships even while on different continents. To do social life more convenient for Russians, MTS has developed a unique VNet service.

There is an opinion that the option will not replace real unlimited for the entire package. However, statistics show that most of the traffic on a tariff plan is usually spent on viewing pages on social media. networks. Only Instagram and Skype can “eat up” up to 10 GB per month.

This also includes Internet traffic. Users should know: since 2016, the range of these tariffs includes paid use“social network” service, which now constitutes a symbolic one. the amount of 50 rubles. This news probably influenced the fact that many users decided to abandon the service and simply use mobile versions of social networks directly from the browsers installed on their mobile devices.

All this can not only tire you in a matter of minutes, but also drain your phone’s charge. If you are driving, it can be distracting, which is unacceptable.
