The MTS operator has launched completely unlimited mobile Internet throughout Russia

In the first half of 2017, absolutely all Russian mobile operators refused tariff plans with completely unlimited mobile internet. All those subscribers who managed to connect them in 2016 can still use them without any restrictions. However, most Russians did not have time to do this, since no one had any idea that the new tariffs would become archival just a few months after they appeared on the market. However, today the MTS operator returned completely unlimited Mobile Internet all around Russia.

WITH today all subscribers of the MTS operator who use the Hype tariff plan can “enjoy” unlimited mobile Internet. Let us remind you that previously this tariff plan offered 7 GB of Internet traffic for a month for any needs. After this package was exhausted, the subscriber was offered to connect an additional one for a fee (95 rubles), or he was deprived of access to the mobile Internet until the start of a new billing period.

Today, the MTS press service proudly announced that the operator has launched completely unlimited mobile Internet throughout Russia, which is available to all subscribers of the Hype tariff plan. The new rules apply to those who are already using it, as well as to those who will start using it in the near future. The only disadvantage of this “lucrative” offer is that now, after exhausting 7 GB of traffic, you can actually access the Internet, but only at a speed of 8 KB/s. This means that even mobile version The Yandex website will load in about 1 minute. According to the operator, Internet traffic can be spent on any need, that is, no restrictions are imposed on this account.

Unlimited mobile Internet is already available to all existing subscribers with the Hype tariff plan, but all new subscribers will have to connect it manually. Straight out of the box, this tariff has the connected option of 500 MB of Internet traffic for 95 rubles after the base package (7 GB) is exhausted. This service should be disabled through your personal account, or via the USSD command *111*936#. As soon as this is done, the unlimited Internet will start working immediately.

It is obvious that the MTS operator launched such unlimited mobile Internet throughout Russia solely for marketing purposes. Using the Internet at such a ridiculous speed is almost impossible, but now on television and other media you can make incredibly attractive advertisements, which will talk about unlimited Internet throughout the country.

Until March 10 inclusive, everyone has a unique Xiaomi opportunity Mi Band 3, spending only 2 minutes of your personal time on it.

Modern people have an urgent need for high-speed mobile Internet. Depending on their own needs, everyone determines the optimal amount of traffic for themselves. For some, a few gigabytes are enough for a month, while others cannot imagine their life without unlimited internet. Each operator tries to please its customers, so subscribers are given quite a lot of attention big choice tariffs and options with different traffic volumes. Of course, there are offers with unlimited Internet. Everyone has similar offers Russian operators and MTS among them. When talking about MTS unlimited Internet, most subscribers mean that there are no restrictions on speed and traffic, but the operator has his own opinion on this matter. Let's look at all the tariffs and options that MTS calls unlimited, and then find out which of them actually include an unlimited traffic quota.
MTS unlimited internet is available in the following offers:

• Tariff “Smart unlimited”;
• Option “Internet 4 Mbit/s”;
• Option “Internet-VIP” (night unlimited only);
• Tariff " Smart Nonstop"(night unlimited only);
• Tariff "Transformishte" ( exclusive rate, available only in the MTS online store when purchasing a new SIM).

IN currently MTS has only three offers with 24-hour unlimited internet and two with night internet (from 01:00 to 07:00). It would seem that there is a choice and everything is wonderful, but there are some pitfalls here. You do get an unlimited traffic quota, but there are other restrictions. As part of this review, we will take a detailed look at all offers with unlimited Internet. We will tell you how to connect MTS unlimited internet so that you no longer have to think about the number of megabytes spent. As for the options that MTS calls unlimited, but in fact, after using up the traffic package, the Internet speed drops (for example, some smart line tariffs and options for the MTS Connect-4 tariff), we will not consider them, since the unlimited They have nothing to do with the Internet.

24/7 unlimited internet MTS

As you already understand, MTS has offers with round-the-clock and night unlimited. Of course, for most subscribers, unlimited mobile Internet is preferable, not tied to time, that is, with the ability not to control the amount of gigabytes spent both day and night. Therefore, we will start with the “Smart Unlimited”, “Transformische” tariffs and the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option. All of them provide Internet without restrictions on speed and traffic, but they are also characterized by individual characteristics. On our website you can find detailed review all these proposals, here we will consider their main conditions.

Tariff “Smart Unlimited”

MTS has secured a significant increase in client base thanks to the “Smart Unlimited” tariff. Initially this tariff The plan was very good and many were even ready to switch to MTS from another operator solely for the sake of this offer. First of all, the tariff is interesting for its unlimited Internet. In principle, other operators also have similar offers, but MTS was superior to them in certain parameters, for example, there was an opportunity to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi for free. Why do we speak in the past tense? Yes, because since the introduction of the tariff, its conditions have changed a lot.

The “Smart Unlimited” tariff includes:

• Subscription fee - 12.90 rubles. per day during the first month and 19 rubles thereafter;
• Unlimited calls to MTS Russia numbers;
• Unlimited mobile internet;
• 200 minutes to numbers of other operators;
• 200 SMS.

• Attention

The data provided is relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region. Size may vary depending on region subscription fee.

Some will say that the tariff is characterized by a too small package of minutes and unnecessary SMS. This is true, but do not forget that, first of all, we are talking about MTS unlimited Internet, and here, in addition to this, they also provide unlimited calls within the network, as well as a package of minutes to other networks. There would be no complaints about the tariff if it did not have pitfalls. Unfortunately, unlimited Internet on the “Smart Unlimited” tariff provides for unpleasant restrictions. Let's look at the most important ones.

Internet restrictions on the “Smart Unlimited” tariff:

1. The use of file-sharing networks is limited. When you try to download a file via torrent, you will encounter significant limitation speed;
2. When distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi or USB, 30 rubles per day are debited (based on the fact of using the service);
3. The operator reserves the right to limit Internet speed at any time, citing significant load on the network ( this condition is in the contract);
4. As part of the “Unified Internet” service, you can provide group members with only 10 GB, instead of 50 GB.

As you can see, MTS unlimited internet at this tariff is not ideal, and it is hardly possible to find an ideal offer now. However, if you need unlimited mobile Internet for your phone, then this is a good choice. You can easily spend hundreds of gigabytes if necessary. We tested the tariff plan and in a month we were able to spend more than 200 gigabytes without any problems with speed. If the offer has aroused interest, we recommend reading the detailed one. Don’t want to read a separate article and are ready to switch to this tariff plan right now? To activate the “Smart Unlimited” tariff, dial the command * 111 * 3888 # on your phone .

Tariff "Transformishte"

More recently, it became available to MTS subscribers new tariff"Transformische". By for unknown reasons the operator did not provide the opportunity to connect the tariff. That is, to start using this tariff you will have to purchase new SIM card in the MTS online store. It is currently impossible to connect a tariff to your current number, you can only purchase a starter kit.

The conditions of the “Transformishte” tariff strongly resemble the previously discussed “Smart Unlimited” tariff plan. The main difference is that the subscriber can choose optimal quantity minutes for calls to numbers of other operators (400, 600 or 1500 minutes). Of course, depending on the selected package of minutes, the subscription fee will differ (650, 800 and 1200 rubles). As for the Internet, the same restrictions apply.

Internet restrictions on the “Transformishte” tariff:

• The tariff is intended for telephones only. Cannot be used in a modem/router;
• The use of file-sharing networks is limited;
• When distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi or USB, 30 rubles per day are debited.

If this offer interests you, we recommend that you study the terms of the “Transformishte” tariff in more detail before purchasing the starter kit. You can find an overview of the tariff plan in the “” section or on the operator’s website.

Option “Internet 4 Mbit/s”

In addition to tariff plans with unlimited Internet, which also include minutes and SMS, there are separate option for the Internet. The “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option allows you not to overpay for unnecessary things; you only pay for MTS unlimited Internet. In addition, unlike the tariffs discussed above, This option can be used in a modem or router. One could call this option the best solution for those who need unlimited Internet, if not for one feature. As many have already guessed from the name of the option, the maximum you can count on is an Internet speed of 4 Mbit/s. That's what it is main drawback options.

Many people do not understand what an Internet speed of 4 Mbit/s is. In principle, this is quite normal speed, which will be enough to listen to music online and watch videos in standard quality. You should pay attention to the fact that, as part of the MTS option, it promises speeds of up to 4 Mbit/s, while the actual speed may sometimes be less than the maximum.

If you don't need high speed internet and you are ready to pay 750 rubles monthly, then you can seriously consider connecting to the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option. By the way, if you plan to use torrent clients, there is unpleasant news for you - when using this option, the provision of file-sharing network services is limited to a speed of 512 Kbps. As for connecting the option, there are also some nuances here. The “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option is connected automatically when purchasing the “MTS Connect” tariff, as well as two weeks after activating the kit with a 4G modem or 4G router. You can find out more about the conditions of the option in a separate review on our website.

Night unlimited Internet from MTS

Unfortunately, gone are the days when operators provided the opportunity to use unlimited mobile Internet without any restrictions. All modern tariffs with unlimited Internet from MTS they have a lot of restrictions. Subscribers have no choice but to choose from what is available on the market mobile communications. Perhaps you do not need 24/7 MTS unlimited internet, then it makes sense to consider the offers below. The “Internet-VIP” option and the “Smart Nonstop” tariff may be of interest to subscribers who actively use the Internet at night, and during the day a limited package is enough for them.

Despite the fact that we have put the “Internet-VIP” option and the “Smart Nonstop” tariff on the same page, these are completely different products. As for the “Smart Nonstop” tariff plan, conditions are almost similar to the Smart Unlimited tariff. The only difference is in the size of the subscription fee, the volume of packages and the lack of 24-hour unlimited access for the first one. As for the “Internet-VIP” option, this is the most best option for modem and router. Let's consider both proposals separately.

Tariff "Smart Nonstop"

The “Smart Nonstop” tariff plan is very popular among MTS subscribers. It is hardly worth considering this tariff solely for the sake of the Internet. If you need a tariff plan that includes not only a large Internet package + night unlimited, but also equally large packages of minutes and SMS, then this is a good option.

The “Smart Nonstop” tariff includes:

• Subscription fee - 500 rubles per day;
• 10 GB of internet during the day + unlimited at night (from 1:00 to 7:00);
• Unlimited calls within the network;
• 400 minutes to all networks;
• 400 SMS.

The tariff is quite good if you use it as the main one. Paying 500 rubles just for the Internet and not using minutes makes no sense, because there are more profitable offer. In addition, MTS unlimited Internet on this tariff also has underwater rocks. As with all tariffs smart lines there is a restriction on using SIM in a modem, distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi and downloading torrents.

Internet VIP option

If we take into account the offers with unlimited Internet from MTS for a modem/router, then the “Internet-VIP” option is the most voluminous. That is, today MTS subscribers do not have the opportunity to officially activate a tariff or an option designed for a modem, which will include more internet. We do not take into account the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option due to its features and connection complexity.

The MTS Internet-VIP option includes:

• Monthly fee - 1200 rubles;
• 30 GB per month during the day;
• Unlimited internet at night (from 01:00 am to 07:00 am).

To connect the “Internet-VIP” option, dial *111*166*1# on your phone or in the modem control program. You can also connect the option through your MTS personal account. Optimal tariff for the option is “Connect-4”, although the option is compatible with other tariffs. However, when using a tariff plan other than Connect-4, the subscription fee will be 100 rubles more.

Wanting to know how to connect unlimited Internet to MTS, most subscribers assume the ability to use traffic without speed limits. Meanwhile, the operator calls unlimited tariffs and options that provide a limited package of Internet traffic on high speed, at the end of which the speed is significantly reduced. As a rule, this speed is hardly enough to load the page, and sometimes access to the Internet is completely blocked. Agree, it’s difficult to call such Internet unlimited.

Unfortunately, the days when the Connect-4 tariff with an unlimited Internet traffic package was in effect are long gone. Those who managed to take advantage of this offer and saved the archived version of the tariff now have the opportunity to use MTS unlimited Internet without speed limits. For others, this tariff is available under completely different conditions (30 GB + overnight unlimited).

However, it is still possible to connect unlimited Internet to MTS, and this opportunity appeared quite recently. As part of this review, we will look at how to connect unlimited Internet to MTS, and when we say unlimited, we mean that there are no restrictions on Internet speed, regardless of the number of megabytes used.

• Attention

All current tariffs and options for the Internet from MTS we described in the article “”. This review will focus exclusively on unlimited Internet.

From May 16, 2016, a new one became available for MTS subscribers. The tariff plan includes unlimited Internet and unlimited calls to MTS numbers throughout Russia. Keyword V in this case"Unlimited Internet". As part of this tariff, MTS subscribers receive unlimited amount Internet traffic.

It is worth noting that the tariff fully justifies its subscription fee. When switching to a tariff, the fee is written off at a time for the first 30 days of service in the amount of 387 rubles. From the second month, the tariff fee is 12.90 rubles for most regions and almost 20 rubles for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region. Agree, it’s not a pity to pay this money for full unlimited on MTS. However, as you understand, any offer from an operator always implies the presence of pitfalls.

Tariff " Smart Unlimited» the following features are characteristic:

• The tariff was initially designed only for phones and tablets;
• Unlimited Internet available under the “Smart Unlimited” tariff cannot be used in USB modems and routers;
• The contract contains a clause that provides for the possibility of reducing Internet speed in the event of a problem. high load to the network.
• Within the tariff, the provision of file-sharing network services is limited by speed. Basically, you won't be able to download anything via torrent.

As you can see, not everything is as smooth as we would like. However, positive points still more. We started testing the tariff from the very first days and so far we have only positive impressions. We use 5-10 GB every day and no one has reduced our speed yet. Although, perhaps we have yet to face this. As for the disadvantage associated with the inability to use a SIM card in the modem, it can be compensated for by distributing the Internet via WI-FI. We will return to this point a little later, when we talk about how to connect unlimited Internet to MTS for a computer.

Methods for connecting to the “Smart Unlimited” tariff:

1. Dial the USSD command * 111 * 3888 # on your phone ;
2. Through your MTS personal account;
3. In the application " ";
4. By calling the help center;
5. By contacting the nearest MTS office.

How to connect unlimited internet to your computer

For modems, MTS has a separate line of “Connect-4” tariff plans. Tariffs differ in the number of Megabytes included in the Internet package. Unlimited internet is available within tariff option « Internet VIP“, however, unlimited will only be valid at night; the rest of the time you will have to control traffic so as not to spend more than 30 GB per month.

If this option does not suit you, you can use the “Smart Unlimited” tariff described above. You cannot use the tariff in a modem, but who is stopping you from distributing the Internet via WI-FI? You can also activate the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” option on the tariff. Let's consider separately all the options for unlimited Internet on MTS.

Tariff plan "MTS Connect-4"

"MTS Connect-4" is a tariff for data transfer with a set of Internet options. Within the tariff you can get the following options:

• Internet Mini (3 GB per month without speed limit);
• Internet Maxi (12 GB at night and 12 GB per month during the day);
• Internet VIP ( Night unlimited and 30 GB per month the rest of the time).
• “Internet 4 Mbit/s” (Traffic quota is not limited).

Since the goal this review is to figure out how to connect unlimited Internet, we will not pay special attention to the first three options. They all involve limitations.

The ones with an unlimited traffic quota are of greatest interest. The name of the option speaks for itself. You get unlimited internet, but maximum speed cannot exceed 4 Mbit/s. In principle, this is a good speed and it will be quite enough, for example, for watching online videos.

One of the disadvantages is the fact that within the “Internet 4 Mbit/s” tariff option, the provision of file-sharing network services is limited to a speed of 512 Kbit/s. That is, downloading heavy files from a torrent will be problematic.

Below is a table with the characteristics of the Internet options available on the MTS Connect-4 tariff.

Tariff option	Traffic package	Subscription fee	Connection
Internet Mini	4 GB per month	300 rub. per month	*111*160#
Internet Maxi	15 GB per month during the day and 15 GB per month at night	600 rub. per month	*111*161#
Internet VIP	30 GB per month during the day + Unlimited at night	800 rub. per month	*111*166#
Internet 4 Mbit/s	Traffic quota is not limited	750 rub/month	Connects automatically when purchasing MTS Connect-4 TP

“Smart Unlimited”: unlimited Internet for all devices with WI-FI support

Despite the fact that the “Smart Unlimited” tariff is intended for phones and tablets, it can also be used on a laptop or even a TV with smart function tv. The operator does not prohibit sharing the Internet via WI-FI, therefore, you can enable modem mode on your phone and distribute the Internet via WI-FI to other devices. Will the speed be limited when distributing via WI-FI? We have been testing the tariff for a couple of weeks and have had no complaints so far.

Of course, it’s too early to draw conclusions, but so far this tariff evokes only positive emotions. There's a lot on the Internet negative reviews about reducing Internet speed, but we have not encountered such a problem yet. On this moment“Smart Unlimited” tariff is the best offer for those who want to connect unlimited Internet to MTS.

It’s not for nothing that MTS’s new offer was called “Tariff”: mobile Internet in any volume, customizable packages of minutes and SMS, home conditions valid in the MTS network throughout Russia, and you don’t even have to pay for all this! Want details? Let's talk.

Internet without end

Everything is simple here: download as much as you want. 10, 20, 30 GB... More? Yes, if you can, but don’t forget about healthy sleep too. Are you expecting any “buts”? It is the only one: MTS reserves the right to limit the traffic generated by torrents.

By default, the tariff includes 500 minutes and 500 SMS per month for any phone numbers Russia. That is, until you have used up these packages, there are no long-distance calls in this tariff.

This can be done in the free application “My MTS” or in Personal account on the operator's website.

How conditions for the Internet and packages change when traveling around Russia

The fee for the Zabugorishche service is only 350 rubles per day, but it is debited only if you use communication services while abroad. When traveling within Russia there is no fee for the option.

The operating conditions of the option may differ depending on the different countries. Details for each country can be clarified.

It is not advisable for MTS employees to read. The focus of the article is too specific.

Boasting

At the moment, I freely enjoy all the delights of a completely unlimited Internet at speed ~1-9 Mbit/s(depending on server load) for 300 rubles per month, which I couldn’t afford just a week ago.
Now not only my SIM card is happy with the costs of the Internet, but finally end user this Internet, i.e. I. Justice prevails, but I think they will close the shop soon.

Background. It won't work without her

So I'm a user usb modem from MTS, and as a thrifty student, I connected the most cheap tariff for 250 rubles, with a sad traffic limitation of 4 GB/month.
Quite by accident, climbing the MTS website in search of best offer according to tariffs or even, perhaps, connect yourself to some kind of option. I came across a mysterious option:

Turbo nights
Price: 50 rub/month
Validity: from 03.00 am to 08.00 am(by time home region subscriber)
Non-tariffed traffic, i.e. full unlimited

Having calculated how many torrents I can download in 5 hours, and also having thought a little about the question above my head:
Do I need it?
I came to the conclusion, and the next day I connected it for a month to see how it goes.
Not in vain, as it turned out.
Downloaded torrents, of course, all night long, downloaded more than 15 GB. And soon, I began to notice that upon reaching the time specified in the contract: eight o’clock in the morning, no one took the Internet away from me and left it as before completely free of charge.
I only found out about this when I came home from college. I noticed that I forgot to turn off torrents, but the speed was still ~8 Mbit/s. It seemed strange to me then, and of course, without hesitation, I decided that the problem was on the server.

Hack

After a couple of such strange repetitions of the “problem”, I began to wonder what the reason was. Why, sometimes, when I leave torrents turned on, the Internet is not cut off at 8 o'clock?
I'm not completely sure about the problem, but that's my point of view!
The answer was simple - communication channels were open.
I think: so what, why then doesn’t the Internet always remain at super speed?
And one day, I came up with a better idea: the speed of polling seeds.
I opened a terminal and began pushing the Yandex server with a simple endless ping: ping ya.ru
And now, you can even say that I use the Internet like a person!
Having created a cron job, now I don’t care about this ping, I just come home from college and sit down to watch a movie, online!

Instructions for use

1. Connect the cheapest tariff - 250 rubles
2. Enable the turbo night option - 50 rubles(maybe more expensive)
3. Waking up at 7.55
4. Ping anything until you're blue in the face
5. Under no circumstances do we reset the network connection(!) always online
6. Let's surf!

Total: 300 rubles + Low Effort=Normal Internet from a USB modem.

Thank you for taking the time to read the article, I hope it was interesting.

Ps: If it’s not difficult, explain this miracle of a network hack.
