We all know that mobile operators often promote technology products in addition to basic telecommunications services. These can be, for example, mobile phones or communication modems, issued under the order of the operator company and equipped with its logo.
We will tell about an example of such a move in today's article. It will be about what the MTS Connect modem is, what advantages the service package has, what its features are, how to set up the modem and use the Internet with it.
Mobile Internet from MTS
Let's start with the fact that almost all operators provide mobile Internet services through their network, using dedicated frequencies for signal transmission in 3G or 4G connection format. MTS is no exception. At the same time, the company already has a developed network of tariffs that millions of subscribers have been using successfully and for a long time.
In addition to the fact that the signal from the provider is perfectly distributed throughout the coverage area, the company can also be praised for the well-developed billing of services, thanks to which you can enjoy the possibilities of a mobile Internet connection overaffordable price for most users.
Internet + modem
Another advantageous offer from the company, in addition to affordable tariffs, is a comprehensive package of services that includes a device for receiving a signal (modem) connected to the MTS network. Due to the fact that the company, together with the buyer of the modem, also receives a regular user of its services, the cost of such a modem is significantly reduced. In particular, now there is even a permanent discount that allows you to purchase a modem along with a customized package at a price of 1 ruble. Obviously, this cannot but attract users and does not force them to purchase an MTS Connect modem. On what conditions mobile Internet services are offered to such subscribers, we will tell further.
3G or 4G rates
The MTS company has several tariff plans in its set, designed for one or more devices. These are plans for working on a phone, a tablet computer, as well as tariffs for sharing on a Wi-Fi router that will transmit a signal to other gadgets. Each of the plans assumes the presence of a certain amount of data available to the user for spending on the mobile Internet for a fee.
MTS Connect Tariff
One of the tariff plans that the company serves is MTS Connect. This is a universal solution, since it includes several options that can suit every subscriber's taste. Accordingly, fees andThe possibilities of the participant of each of these plans differ from each other. Read more about tariffs below.
Now the tariff plan is provided with the ability to work in 4G networks. Thus, by connecting it, the user can count on only the most favorable terms of service.
The MTS operator also, in addition to the promotion for those who wish to buy an MTS Connect modem, has introduced a bonus return system. As part of it, each user is returned 20 percent of the cost of communication services consumed by him per month to a mobile account. Thus, we can talk about small savings.
For a Day, Mini, Maxi, VIP
Now let's take a closer look at the options that are offered within the tariff. There are four of them, the first is “Internet for a day”. As you can already guess by the name, with it your MTS Connect modem will provide access to the network for 50 rubles a day. The tariff will be beneficial for those who use Internet access infrequently, because you do not need to pay for the days that you did not work with it.
Second plan - "Internet-Mini". The conditions here are extremely simple: pay 350 rubles for a month of use, and in return you get 3 GB of Internet traffic without connection speed limits. After this limit is exhausted, the speed drops significantly.
Then come "Internet-Maxi" and "Internet-VIP". As part of the first, the subscriber receives 12 GB of traffic at night and during the day, which are considered separately, for 700 rubles per month. The rate is for those whouse it around the clock, because it is most profitable to do just that. As for the VIP option, its cost is 1200 rubles per month of use. As part of this plan, the subscriber receives an unlimited nightly tariff and 30 GB of traffic for daytime work.
Modem for 1 ruble
As a special offer, the operator offers subscribers to buy a wireless USB modem that receives a signal in 4G format. According to the final account, its cost will be 1 ruble. At the same time, in fact, you will need to pay 949 rubles for the MTS 3G Connect modem. Of these, 948 will be written off as payment for the "Internet for 14 days (VIP)" service. This means that the next 14 days the subscriber can use the device without additional payment. In the future, he has the right to switch to another suitable tariff plan (the features of each of which we have already described above).
Now let's try to figure out what settings the MTS Connect modem needs to be made in order to start using it immediately after purchase.
Settings
To work with the device, you need drivers for the MTS Connect modem. You can download them on the official website of MTS, after selecting the model and brand of the device. This is due to the fact that each of the modems has individual software.
After the drivers are loaded, we also need a modem program compatible with MTS Connect. With the help of it, access to the network will be controlled - connecting and disconnecting the device, it will be possible to change some settings,required for modem operation.
It is important not to forget that as new firmware versions are released, the device will need to be updated. This is also done using software that can be found on the MTS website.
Opportunities
You can use your MTS Connect modem in any way you like. Tariffs show that with it there is an opportunity not just to connect an Internet connection to your laptop, which will allow you to work in absolutely normal mode, as if it were a stationary network access.
Firstly, this is due to the 4G data transmission format. Unlike third-generation communication, it provides for faster device operation. For example, this modem is capable of transmitting data at a speed of 100 Mbps. With this rate, you can download movies and series in minutes, not to mention watching less cumbersome videos.
Secondly, the huge advantage of the VIP tariff plan, which is activated for 14 days immediately after the purchase of the device, is unlimited Internet at night and 30 GB of traffic for daytime use. This allows you to leave downloads of large files during sleep with the huge speed that 4G guarantees.
Thirdly, you can purchase an additional Wi-Fi router and distribute the Internet to several devices at the same time. So you can, for example, in addition to a personal computer, synchronize the work of your phone and tablet.
MTS Tablet
Together with the USB modem, which we talked about in this article,users have the opportunity to get another tariff plan - "MTS Tablet". With it, the user receives 4 GB of mobile traffic, as well as unlimited access to television for 400 rubles per month.
In order to use the option, you will need to install an MTS Connect modem. You should also pay attention to the fact that such a service excludes the possibility of being on other tariff plans. And since this is a mobile Internet for working on a tablet computer, its volume may not be enough for the user to fully work. Again, its conditions do not provide unlimited internet at night.
SIM card binding
An important nuance when buying an MTS Connect modem is the hard binding of the device to the cards of the MTS operator. It must be remembered that when buying it, you can only work with this provider - the modem is blocked from receiving a signal from other networks, since this is unprofitable for the operator.
