New MTS Smart mini tariff recently added to the Smart line. The tariff plan itself appeared quietly and unnoticed - it was not advertised at all, and the operator’s news about its appearance went unnoticed by most subscribers. The fact is that it had the headline “Choose the best tariff for smartphones,” which said little. And why recommend to your subscribers a tariff plan with a pitiful package of half a gigabyte of traffic? This tariff plan may seem like sweet candy only in the first days of use, but after a few weeks all the “nasties” of this tariff creep out. This is connected both with the use of the Internet and with conversations on. All the advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls of this tariff are described below.

Description of the MTS Smart mini tariff

Subscription fee

The subscription fee until May 15, 2014 is 200 rubles. per month for the first two months of use. Starting from the third month, it increases to 250 rubles. If in the future the subscriber switches to “Smart mini” (until May 15, 2014), then the subscription fee for “Smart Everywhere at Home” is not charged for the same 2 months, and from the third month it will be only 50 rubles. per month However, from the 13th month the cost will increase to 100 rubles. Now in 2017, the subscription fee for this tariff is 300 rubles per month.

In a word, for the first two months the subscription fee for Smart mini will be 200 rubles, which was indicated in the advertisement. Starts from the 3rd month until the end of the current year - 300 rubles, and then - 350 rubles. for each month of using the tariff. Is your head swelling yet? No? Well then, read on for the Smart mini MTS tariff description.

Internet

An Internet package of 1 gigabyte size without speed restrictions is included in the subscription fee. However, this volume will be used only for the first 2 months - then the volume of traffic will decrease by half. In addition, if it is exhausted, the speed will not drop - but the Internet will turn off. Funny, right? If you want to continue using the Internet, you will have to pay 75 rubles for every 500 MB. Internet, or immediately 200 rubles. for 2 GB. In addition, GPRS packages are not available on this tariff plan. If the “Smart at home everywhere” option was activated, then the subscriber will be able to use the Internet throughout Russia, but if not, then only on the “home” network. But it is precisely in this place that the insidious tariff trap lurks!

The fact is that most smartphone users do not know how much traffic their device consumes. Everything here is quite complicated - for example, iPhones and the latest Androids simply live on the network, constantly “eating” precious megabytes. Old Nokias won’t even dare to go online without the owner’s consent. The browser also means a lot - one will load pictures and all the junk that is on the page, and the other will only load text and links. It is the aforementioned iPhones that use (give or take) 1 gig of traffic per month, and after it expires, the device turns into an expensive brick. An ardent iPhone user will spend one and a half to two gigabytes of traffic per month - but now think how much you will have to pay for “turbo buttons” with saving 0.5 and 2 GB of traffic.

Conversations

The cost of calls on this tariff plan is very reasonable - there is no limit for calls within the MTS “home” region, but you will have to pay 2 rubles/min. for calls to MTS to other regions of Russia.

Switch to a free plan

The tariff is valid from 03/06/2014 and when switching to it, the fee for the first month of use is charged.

Everywhere is like home Smart

This option is reminiscent of the “neighboring regions” that have sunk into oblivion, which, however, cost 30 rubles. and not 100. There are still differences, but it is immediately noticeable that the operator is targeting exactly the same audience of subscribers. In a word: using Smart Everywhere, Like Home, you receive a conditional “home tariff”. If you unexpectedly find yourself in a neighboring region and do not disable this option (I strongly recommend turning it off), then you will be able to make unlimited calls to MTS in your “home” region for 8.89 rubles. on MTS of the current region and at 15 rubles/min. to numbers of other operators. This is the whole catch.

As you can see, MTS considers the “home tariff” not the amount that you and I think about, namely 8.9 rubles. It is from them that we are given “generous” discounts at home. Internet traffic with the “Everywhere at home Smart” option enabled is provided throughout the Russian Federation.

MTS Smart mini tariff - main advantages

I would like to compare Smart mini with the popular "Super MTS". In the latter, every day they give an hour of free calls within MTS and to landline numbers (!!!), albeit with major exceptions. And if you also generously top up your account with 300 rubles. or more, you will receive free calls to MTS in other regions. All other calls will have to be paid at exorbitant prices - 2.5 rubles per minute, while in Smart Mini - only 2. Well, initially you get 250 minutes of free calls to numbers within your home region and to MTS Russia, as well as 250 SMS , which you can use as you wish.

However, Smart mini, although it will seem more profitable with its gigabyte of Internet in the first month, only then with a monthly fee of 250-300 rubles will become a luxury for millionaires. At this time, “Super MTS” eats 149 rubles/month. and gives 50 MB of traffic every day. The speed is maximum. If the traffic drops to zero, the speed drops along with it to 64 kb/s, but the Internet continues to work. Such volumes are enough even for an iPhone.

Disadvantages of the MTS Smart mini tariff

And the latest (and unpleasant) thing we see in the smart mini is the MTS tariff. Of course, the legislation of the Russian Federation requires all footnotes and clarifications to be shown to the user in bold letters, but no one has canceled the asterisks and small text at the bottom of the page. Sometimes you don’t even want to peer at the small text at the very “bottom” of the screen, which is made in dull gray on a blinding white background. You understand that almost all laws can be circumvented.

MTS is no exception to this. To read in detail about the terms of the tariff, you need to take a long journey through the MTS website, then stumble upon the PDF. Otherwise, you will only see huge amounts of bright and optimistic advertising. The subscriber will have to spend a lot of effort, time and nerves to understand simple numbers that the operator is carefully trying to hide. Here, for example, is this phrase:

“for subscribers who connected / switched to a tariff plan during the period from March 6 to May 15, 2014, within two months from the moment of connection / switch to the tariff - 0 rubles**; over the next ten months from the moment of connection / transition - 50 rubles.** "...which you come across in the description of the option "Everywhere at home Smart", can be opened by clicking on the link in the description of the tariff, which is disguised under the anchor "Now on territory of all Russia!" Well, how do you feel?

This reminds me of the good old joke: “Honey! You will find salt in the bathroom, in a drawer labeled “medicine”, in an egg carton labeled “Coffee.” What can we say? Smart mini is an amateur tariff. Not for a big fan.

How to switch to Smart Mini on MTS? This question arises for many users. It is worth understanding the main features of the proposal and providing as much information as possible for further study.

There are differences in price. Users are looking for a program for 200 rubles, others for 100. This is due to the following factors:

The tariff plan has been updated. The company changed its conditions and cost.
Settings may vary depending on region.

Therefore, it is worth studying the current conditions for your subject. Usually they can be found on the operator’s website in a special section with current offers.

Conditions

What conditions apply to the tariff? Let's study the latest version of the program from the operator:

The subscription fee is 100 rubles per month.
Unlimited within your home network.
Issued 100 minutes for other operators.
You receive 50 SMS.
1 GB of traffic is provided.
The cost of calls to numbers of other operators after the end of the package is 1.5 rubles.

The advantage is a significant number of free minutes and unlimited access to your home network. The operator is quite common at the moment. If you actively call MTS numbers, then such a program will be an excellent solution.

For many, the disadvantage will be the small amount of traffic.

With monthly use, 1 GB is only enough to view email and occasionally visit social networks.

Even in this scenario, there is a high probability that the package will end earlier.

Is it worth using the tariff? It all depends on your needs. If there are enough packages offered, then it will be a good solution. For 100 rubles, a client gets unlimited access to his home network, 100 minutes and 1 GB of traffic, which is quite good.

How to study the balance of packages?

How much traffic, minutes or SMS is left per month? You can check this data in the following ways:

Using the command *100*1#. Enter your request and wait for a response.
Log in to your personal account. The personal account contains all the information you need, including package balances.
You can use the “My MTS” application. The program allows you to manage your account and quickly obtain the data of interest. It acts as an analogue of a personal account.

How to switch to the Smart Mini MTS tariff for 200 rubles per month

Attention! In many regions the tariff is officially closed!

The company constantly updates its offers. Some programs become archived. This means that they are completely closed for connection. There is no way you can access them.

This also happened with the Smart Mini tariff. The company decided that this option was outdated. Therefore, it moved to the archive, and Smart was created as a replacement.

Everyone who used the pricing plan can keep it for now. But what happens next?

The company may adjust the conditions for the archive tariff.
The offer risks becoming not as attractive as before.
Archival programs close after 5-7 years, when there are a minimum number of users left.

How to switch to the MTS Smart Mini tariff? You won't be able to do this. All archived programs are completely closed for connecting new users. Smart Mini is saved only for people who managed to join it.

Don’t look for ways to connect to the archive tariff, there simply aren’t any. But if you study the information, you will find special offers on the Internet for joining the program.

Don't believe in such promises. These are most likely fraudulent schemes.

The person will lose money and receive nothing in return. Be very careful and use only official connection methods from your operator.

How to switch to the tariff in regions where it is still available?

Smart Mini operates in some regions of the country. If your subject is on the list, you can connect. How can I clarify this fact? Go to the MTS website and study the list of tariffs. If Smart Mini is on the list, then the transition can be performed in several ways:

Request to number *111*1023#.
Call the call center operator.
Use your personal account.
Through the program.

It's easier to use the activation application. You need to download the program from the official store. Then go into it and open the tab with tariffs. Find a suitable option among them and connect immediately.

Smart Mini from MTS is the optimal tariff plan for subscribers who do not need a large amount of Internet traffic or even own mobile phones that do not support modern wireless data transfer standards (3G, 3G+, LTE) and primarily use their cell phone to make calls. What are the current conditions of this tariff plan, how to connect or disconnect it? What are its main disadvantages?

Description of the Smart mini MTS tariff

This tariff plan is balanced for making calls and sending SMS with rare use of the mobile Internet, for example, for instant messengers or video calls. It is a simpler and cheaper version of the Smart line tariffs with a small monthly fee. Smart Mini is also a package tariff plan, that is, the subscriber pays a monthly fee and for this receives a certain package of services.

This tariff can be connected to both a federal and a city number, however, the declared services will be fully provided only within the home region. Outside of it, the cost of services will be standard for roaming.

Cost of services on the Smart mini tariff

According to the terms of the tariff, the monthly subscription fee is:

for federal number- 400 rubles;
for a city number (with a landline number prefix) - 900 rubles.

The specified fee includes the following list of prepaid services:

1 gigabyte of Internet (95 rubles per 500 megabytes above the norm);
350 minutes to all mobile numbers in your home region and MTS within the Russian Federation (2 rubles per minute above the norm);
350 SMS messages in your home region (2 rubles per message above the norm).

Prices for all other services are as follows:

calls to MTS in your home region - unlimited;
calls to MTS outside the home region - 2 rubles per minute(after completion of 350 minutes);
calls to all other numbers - 14 rubles (after 350 minutes);
SMS messages - 2 rubles to MTS (above the package of 350 SMS) and 3.8 rubles to all other numbers;
MMS messages - 9.9 rubles.

For international calls, the tariffs are standard for the entire Smart line and are 35 rubles to the CIS countries, 49 rubles to Europe and 70 rubles to all other countries.

The above conditions are valid for subscribers from August 16, 2017. Before this period, tariffs were slightly different and the subscription fee was only 200 rubles. But for this amount a significantly smaller package of services was provided, and calls abroad were charged according to the standard tariff schedule of MTS (which is almost 5 times more expensive).

How to connect the Smart mini MTS tariff

You can connect to a tariff plan either on the official website mts.ru, or by sending a Push request (combination *111*1023# and call key). It is worth noting that when activating a tariff plan in an online store, the first subscription payment will be not 400, but 320 rubles. Subsequent ones are at the standard rate.

The repeated payment is withdrawn from the subscriber's account by the operator 30 days after activation of the tariff plan, and not on the first day of the following month. You can find out until what date the already paid service package is valid using a Push request with the combination *100*1# and the call key.

You can also subscribe to this tariff plan by contacting the operator at 0890 (calls are not charged). Another affordable option is to purchase a starter package (SIM card) with an already connected Smart Mini tariff.

How to disable the Smart mini tariff

As with other tariff plans, Smart Mini can only be disabled by switching to another plan. This can be done in your personal account on the website https://login.mts.ru, or using the service menu *111# and the call key. Naturally, when switching to a new tariff plan, a new subscription fee will be charged. And no payments are provided for the unused volume of services. That is, if a subscriber connected Smart Mini on the 1st, and after 2-3 days decided to change the tariff plan to another, then 400 rubles will not be returned.

How to switch to smart mini tariff

For existing subscribers, the transition to a new tariff can be accomplished by sending a USSD request *111*1023#. The cost of switching from any other tariff plan is 0 rubles, however, to activate the service package for the first month, you must have at least 320 rubles on your account. The connection can also be made in your personal account on the MTS website.

By the way, in addition, the subscriber can activate the “Everywhere at home” service, with the help of which the tariff’s coverage area expands to the entire country. The subscription fee for it is 100 rubles per month.

Disadvantages of the Smart mini MTS tariff

The main disadvantage of the Smart Mini tariff plan is that it operates exclusively within the home region. Calls outside its borders, including messages, are already charged under roaming conditions. For those who often make calls to home numbers and to mobile numbers of other operators, 350 minutes per month may not be enough.

And recently, connection no longer costs 200 rubles, as before (including all taxes), but 400. And for this, only SMS messages and Internet traffic were added (previously - 500 megabytes). In fact, those who used the phone primarily for calls did not make any profit from this. On the contrary, the subscription fee simply increased for a slight increase in the number of minutes.

Many are still confused by the cost of connecting to additional service packages. They say that it is significantly higher than on other tariff plans or other telecom operators in general. Unfortunately, subscribers will not be able to influence the company’s pricing policy in any way.

In summary, Smart Mini is a balanced and profitable tariff plan, but with its minor drawbacks. It’s clearly not suitable for frequent Internet use, but for those who need to make calls or send SMS messages more often, it’s the best choice. And the Internet is already a pleasant addition to the main package of services.

Finding a good offer from a mobile operator is not as easy as it seems. The thing is that now companies offer different tariff plans for any need. A modern client cannot always decide what is more important to him - calls, the Internet or SMS messages. Therefore, many people prefer to connect package tariffs at once.
