Tariff of MTS "Smart mini": reviews

The Russian operator MTS is the most popular in the country due to the most favorable tariffs. The company provides services at lower prices than competitors. Due to this, the network serves more than 107 million people.

More details about one of the most profitable tariffs offered by MTS, Smart Mini (we publish the reviews below), we will discuss in this article.

Ruler "Smart"

So, the MTS operator has several tariff plans, called the single name "Smart". As you might guess, they are intended for use on smartphones - this is due to the peculiarities of these tariffs. In particular, they offer the subscriber both an Internet connection within a certain amount of data, and a certain number of minutes for calls to numbers in their network and to the numbers of subscribers of foreign operators. Thus, connecting to the tariffs "Smart", the subscriber receives "everything at once".

In total, there are four tariffs, included in the line, developed by MTS. "Smart Mini" (which will be reviewed in this article) is the most "basic" among them, since it is available at the lowest cost. However, within the framework of this tariff, less data is available than others - Smart, Smart Non-Stop and Smart Plus.

The last three plans may also be of interest to the MTS subscriber, but in this article we are considering the features that the Smart Mini tariff (MTS) has. Feedback from those who use it directly, will help us to understand the issue in more detail.

Smart Mini: calls

To begin with, the tariff plan, which we analyze in the framework of this article, presupposes a subscription fee. This means that the person who uses it, is obliged to pay the company 200 rubles per month. For these funds, he receives a certain package of services. They include, in particular, minutes for calls.

If the subscriber wants to call MTS numbers that are assigned to his home region, he can do it without restrictions. In turn, to communicate with subscribers of its network, located in other regions of Russia, the user receives only 1000 minutes per month. As for communication with other operators, conversations with them are charged separately. In particular, the home region is paid for at a cost of 1.5 rubles per minute (in addition, over the above 200 rubles), and conversations with numbers from the rest of the Russian Federation - 10 rubles. in a minute. Such tariffs are with MTS. "Smart mini" (reviews about it are spoken of as an affordable plan with a favorable cost of calls) also implies the availability of free 50 SMS for the numbers of your region and the cost of each message for 3.8 rubles for sending to numbers of other networks throughout the country.

Smart mini: Internet

Tariff "Smart Mini" (MTS), reviews on which it is easy to find, also gives an opportunity to use the mobile Internet. What is noteworthy, this service is included in the monthly fee of 200 rubles, which we mentioned. The subscriber is provided 500 megabytes of Internet for use in a mobile network. In the event that it exceeds the specified limit, additional charging is not charged, but the connection speed drops significantly.

In principle, if we talk about working with a modern smartphone, 500 MB can only last for one-time check of mail or sending messages on the social network. Obviously, MTS "Smart Mini" - a tariff designed for people who are not used to spend most of their free time on the network.

Roaming

According to the terms of the plan, which can be found on the official website of MTS, "Smart Mini" (user reviews confirm this) supports the roaming service, communication with other countries. The cost of services is determined by the minute - a special table with prices depending on the direction of calls is posted on the company's website. Here you can see that the minute of conversation with the CIS will cost 29 rubles, with Europe - 49 rubles, and communication with other countries - all 70 rubles per minute. SMS messages to numbers of foreign subscribers will cost 5.25 rubles. This is the tariff for MTS "Smart Mini".

Additional options

What makes MTS attractive is the ability to order additional options and hints, some of which may prove to be really useful. For example, the tariff page contains information on the possibilities to save on calls by connecting packages "Everywhere as at home SMART" and "Profitable intercity". They are designed for people who are actively traveling throughout the country, for whom it is difficult to stay exclusively in the home region. There are other opportunities that can be connected to the MTS Smart Mini. What options to use, you decide. Here only a list of services is indicated: additional Internet traffic services (500 MB or 1 GB over your tariff) are available, and there is also the possibility to activate automatic replenishment of your account.

Another option is to manage the number through the so-called "Personal Account". Here everything is very simple: register under your number, get a password and mark what services you would like to use and which ones you do not. All this is available on the MTS website. "Smart Mini" can be connected here as well.

User Reviews

In general, the amount of services that the mobile operator provides to the subscriber connected to the tariff "Smart Mini", we informed you. Therefore, everyone can form at least their own attitude to this plan and calculate how profitable work with it.

As for the reviews, they are mostly positive, since unlimited calls within the network and the Internet are a really good offer for 200 rubles. As for some negative assessments, it is possible to find them only to the MTS company. For example, people often complain that they have suddenly disappeared from their account. Perhaps the subscribers were really mistaken and just did not notice how they took advantage of some service. And maybe so, that the money from the account really disappeared through the fault of the operator. In order to prevent such a situation, it is necessary to refuse wireless access to the Internet on MTS Smart Mini. How to disable the Internet, you need to look at your device model. Most smartphones have a button for deactivating a mobile access point.

Alternative

Undoubtedly, there are subscribers who would like to receive more than 500 Mb of Internet and 1000 minutes for calls within the network. Accordingly, if they are willing to pay more, they can offer alternative tariff plans from MTS.

In particular, these are Smart, Smart Non-Stop and Smart Plus packages.

The first costs 450 rubles, whereas with it the subscriber receives 3 GB of Internet and 500 minutes for calls to other operators' phones from their region.

Non-Stop will cost 650 rubles. It offers unlimited wireless Internet and the same number of minutes for calls.

SmartPlus differs in price (900 rubles per month), traffic volume (5 GB) and the opportunity to get 1100 minutes for calls to any number in your region. The difference is also in the price of minutes for foreign numbers throughout Russia: if the Mini is 10 rubles, then Smart, Non-Stop and Plus is 3 rubles.

About how to order services and what details are hidden in these tariff plans, you can learn more on the official website of the company. In principle, nothing new is there, only the code of a short USSD-request changes. However, regarding the work with Non-Stop and Plus it should be noted that it will be more profitable to order additional options to reduce the cost of conversations with foreign networks in other regions of the country. Also, if you feel that you do not have enough data package (where it is limited), you can purchase the extension option.

Such is the plan from MTS "Smart Mini". The company issues new tariffs on a regular basis. This, for example, "Posekundny", "Night" and others, but the line "Smart" remains the base, which indicates its success.
