Extend traffic on MTS by 100 MB

A 100 MB package is enough for a variety of purposes, for example, for several hours of leisurely surfing or for working with email.

Unlike the previous option, this option is valid not for one day, but for 30 days, which is even more profitable. The cost of connecting to the package is 95 rubles.

In order to receive an additional 500 MB of Internet traffic for 30 days, you need to dial the USSD command *167# or send an SMS with the text 167 to the short service number 5340.

The validity period, as in the previous version, is 30 days. The cost of connecting the option is 300 rubles.

The “Turbo nights” option is currently not available for connection and has been moved to the archive.

MTS Internet packages will be useful for those who would like to have unlimited access to the network. Unfortunately, this is not available to many people. Unless we use the Smart Unlimited package from MTS - in this case you really have unlimited, except that you have to distribute wifi for money. And everyone else will have to either be content with what they have, mostly accessing the network at home from a computer, or choose a TP with a lot of traffic, or connect an additional MTS Internet package, fortunately, there are various ways for this, we will consider all of them in detail them, both for Smart tariffs and for all others.

Why do you need MTS Internet packages?

Why is this even necessary? For example, in order to go online even after your main Internet package has run out. What if you were watching your favorite TV series online, downloading a movie, or just communicating on social networks every day and at the end of the month you ran out of traffic, and you don’t want to wait a few days for a new one to connect? This is why additional packages are needed. They can be one-time or permanent.

One-time- connected it once, used it until the end of the month or within 24 hours, and that’s it. It is recommended for those who usually have enough traffic, and then in one of the months suddenly there was an overspending and they just need to renew once in order to hold out until the standard package is updated.
Permanent- connect once and use every month. It’s convenient if you don’t always have enough traffic, but minutes and SMS in TP are quite enough. In this case, in order not to change the tariff, you can use additional packages. Available on Smart tariffs.

How to check the balance of the MTS package

There are many options to check the balance of the Internet package on MTS. The easiest way to do this is through, since it displays the balances for all your options for using traffic - according to your tariff, connected options and additional Internet packages. But if you don’t have a computer at hand right now, it’s inconvenient to go online from a phone or tablet, and you haven’t installed the MTS LC mobile application, then all you can do is use USSD commands. Here are the main ones with which you can check the balance:

Traffic on Smart tariffs - *100*1#
The rest is additional. packages - *111*217#
All internet options(SuperBit, Bit, Bit-Smart, Mini-Bit, as well as Internet Mini, Super, Maxi and VIP and MTS Tablet (regular and mini)) - *217#

Don’t forget to press the call button after each dialed combination - you will receive the rest of the traffic immediately in a reply SMS message. It's free.

How to connect additional Internet package on MTS

So, we figured out why this is needed, now let's move on to the most interesting part. We will figure out how to extend the Internet on MTS so that it continues to work at high speed. As we already wrote, if there are permanent options, there are one-time services. The latter are Turbo buttons for different amounts of traffic; they can be used on any tariff plan. And permanent ones are an additional MTS Smart Internet package - accordingly, it is valid only for Smart TP (but for everyone without exception).

Previously, there were periodic Internet packages of 200, 300, 450 and 900 megabytes, but now they are no longer available for activation. They can only be used by those who managed to connect them earlier.

Additional package for Smart tariffs from MTS

Another option is the option " Smart for your own" - you just need to activate it once, and then it will automatically connect you to 500 megabytes of traffic for 75 rubles (for all tariff plans except: Smart Nonstop, Smart Top and Smart+ - there you connect 1 GB for 150 rubles) as soon as it runs out previous volume. In total, you can use no more than 7 bonus Gigabytes per calendar month (that’s 15 such packages). Moreover, in your Personal Account you will see all this additional Internet, but in fact, no more than 500 MB are active at any time. not to activate it or disable it, but it is cheaper than the same volume in Turbo Buttons, so in some cases it may be more profitable.

Profitable, convenient, as it costs less than Turbo buttons. But there are only two proposals and their pitfalls. You can connect an additional 500 MB or 1 GB of traffic monthly. The cost, respectively, is 75 and 120 rubles per month. Plus - it's cheaper, minus - this subscription fee will be charged monthly until you turn off the service (read how to do this below). How to connect?

500 MB(75 rub/month) - using USSD combination *111*526# or SMS to number 5260 with text "111" ;
1 GB(120 rub/month) - using the command *111*527# or by sending "111" to a short number 5720 .

The first time, the subscription fee will be charged immediately for the entire month, then - on the date you activate this tariff option. USSD command *217# You can check your balance at any time as part of this service. If you change the tariff, including to another from the Smart line, the option will be disabled and you will need to connect to it again. If you haven’t used up all the traffic in a month, it burns out and doesn’t move on to the next one.

MTS turbo button - for all tariffs

What if you use some other tariff plan of this mobile operator? In this case, you can use the Turbo Digger. There is more choice here: 100 and 500 MB, 1, 2, 5 and 20 GB - your choice. Plus, there used to be Turbo nights (when at night from 1 am to 7 am Internet traffic was not taken into account at all when the option was connected, but now the connection is not available, and those who switched to it earlier can use it under the same conditions for a 200 ruble subscription fee per calendar month). Let's understand the intricacies and connection of the Turbo button.

How to connect the MTS Turbo button

It’s very simple - either go to the application or personal account on the website, or use USSD commands and SMS with the required text to the number 5340 from the list below.

Increase traffic by 100 MB(35 rub.) - helmet “05” to the short number 5340 or dial the USSD combination *111*05*1#
Extend Internet for 500 MB(95 rub.) - send “167” to the same number 5340 or by command *167#
Turbo button on 1GB(175 RUR) - USSD command *467# or by sending "467" to 5340
Increase by 2GB(300 rub.) - via SMS to number 5340 - “168” or a combination *168#
For tablet on 5GB(450 rub.) - similarly send SMS “169” to 5340 or dial the command *169#
Super Turbo on 20GB(900 rub.) - text “469” all the same to 5340 or using the USSD request code *469#

As you can see, nothing complicated. Features: all options are one-time - connect once, use it, then, if there is not enough traffic again, you will have to connect additional Internet packages from MTS again. One more nuance. The 500MB turbo button only works 24 hours, then the unspent one simply burns out. But all the rest have already expired 30 days from the moment of activation.

Disabling MTS Internet on your phone

Using a phone while consuming Internet services can cause considerable financial costs, so MTS users who have an additional megabyte package added automatically want to turn it off immediately. Unfortunately, there is no single command of numbers and symbols to disable it - each tariff or even service in the package has specific speed dial options.

To do this, you need to know the combinations used for the main MTS tariffs and packages.

How to disable additional Internet on MTS?

Additional megabytes of Internet on MTS are usually provided on favorable terms - this option is tied to Smart tariff plans. Today they are the most popular because they have many advantages.

As soon as the tariff is activated, additional traffic is connected, but you will have to disable the Internet using the established combinations. And this is necessary, because if there is no need for an additional package, then there is no need to pay money that will still be debited from the account.

The easiest way to do this is by dialing the following numbers and characters: *111*936# followed by a call, and the message will require the shutdown number – 2.

If you refuse additional traffic on the "BIT" service, you will need to use the number 2520, using the number 1 as the text, and to restore the package, the number 2 to the same number.

To disable additional packages of megabytes of the “SuperBIT” option, the SMS text to be sent to number 6280 will be 1. If you send the number 2 to this number, the option will be restored.

Disconnections using your phone

The “BIT” tariff option assumes traffic in the amount of 75 MB/day and runs in all MTS networks. To disable it, enter the command *111*252*2#

The MTS “SuperBIT” service provides up to 3 GB of additional traffic packages - this volume is enough for most active user actions on the Internet - downloading video and audio, correspondence on social networks, storing files in cloud storage and much more. This is the most expensive option and you can also refuse it using the command *111*628*2# on your smartphone.

Note! All messages sent to 111 are absolutely free.

How to disable the Internet on the Super MTS option?

Super MTS Internet allows you to use all the capabilities of the network: go to any resources, download various files, use email, but since some users do not need this and, moreover, it costs a considerable investment, you can disable additional traffic packages.

For “BIT Smart” dial *111*8649#, to disable “SuperBIT Smart” – *111*8650#

The Smart Mini tariff plan, if the subscriber does not need Internet access, can simply turn off the transmission of information.

If the client wishes, MTS provides the opportunity to disable additional traffic for one day. To do this, you must enter the following combination: *111*67#. You can also cancel the package for a day by sending a message with the text 670 to 111 or use your MTS personal account.

Attention! Those who want to refuse additional Internet traffic on the Maxi tariff plan will have to change the tariff itself, since deactivation is not provided.
