Options to reduce the cost of long-distance calls
Achieving optimal conditions for communicating with customers from other regions does not mean at all that you will have to switch to a favorable tariff for calls within Russia (MTS). It is enough to activate the optionto the current TP. This will be especially true for customers who need to make long-distance calls for a certain period, or subscribers who use other options that are not available on the new tariff plan. There are two options that can be used to reduce the cost of such calls:
• Tariff plan (it is valid; you can switch to it from the current TP or buy a new SIM card) "Super MTS".
• Option "Favorable intercity" (activated on the existing tariff plan; not available for activation on all TPs).

Among the available tariff plans of the mobile operator, TP "Super MTS" is the most profitable. Below is a description of the terms of use and the features and benefits provided. You can switch to a tariff plan for 150 rubles. If more than 30 days have passed since the last TP change, this payment is not charged. At the same time, if you do not want to change the current TP, you can purchase a new SIM card with this TP (the cost of the starter kit is 100 rubles, upon purchase you need to deposit 100 rubles to your account, which can be used to pay for communication services).
"Super MTS" offers really interesting conditions that become more attractive when you activate the additional options "Call MTS 100 for free" and "SMS-Smart".
You can switch to the TP through your personal web account by dialing 888, through the application for mobile gadgets "My MTS" or by callingcontact center operator.

By enabling this option, you can get a better rate for calls within Russia (MTS).
100 minutes a day are provided for calls to MTS subscribers in their region and other regions throughout the country. At the same time, calling a number in another region of another mobile operator costs 12 rubles per minute. Thus, it turns out that the TP is more beneficial for communication within the MTS network. Calls to numbers of other home network operators cost 1 ruble per minute. When connecting the option (after changing the tariff plan), 2.5 rubles will be debited. (one-time payment of the activation cost). The daily subscription fee is two and a half rubles.
The cost of services for the basic TP (without connecting the option "Call for free to MTS 100"
Even if we abandon the idea of activating the additional option that we mentioned earlier, Super MTS TP is still the most favorable MTS tariff (calls within Russia to MTS numbers are 3 rubles per minute, to MTS subscribers in their region 20 minutes of communication are not charged, the next minutes will cost extremely inexpensively - only 75 kopecks). Thus, you can completely do without activating an additional option.
Conditions for sending SMS messages, the cost of other services
The cost of text messages on the basic TP (without activating the "SMS-Smart" option) is one and a half rubles(within the home region, to the numbers of any operators), 2, 50 rubles. - the cost of one message to the numbers of customers in other regions of the country, 5 rubles. – sending SMS abroad.
If you activate the "SMS-Smart" option, then for a subscription fee of 5 rubles per day, 10 non-tariffed messages per day will be provided to the numbers of any operators in your home region. After the limit is reached, each sent message will be charged according to the basic tariff plan - 2.50 rubles.
Mobile Internet is provided on the tariff plan at a standard cost - 9.90 rubles. for one megabyte. Connection of packages containing certain Internet traffic is available.
Option "Favorable Intercity"
Having determined a favorable rate for calls within Russia (MTS), let's move on to describing an option that can also be used to reduce the cost of long distance calls. At the same time, its main feature is that after activation, a single cost is set for the numbers of all telecom operators in Russia - 3 rubles per minute of connection.
The option is connected free of charge and has a subscription fee of 40 rubles per month. Activation is carried out through a personal web account, through a contact center operator, through a request 111903, when sending a text message with the numbers 903 to the number "111". The service is not available for tariff plans of the "Smart" line, which include packages of minutes and messages.
Favorableunlimited tariff for calls within Russia (MTS)
Subscribers who really need to communicate for a long time and often with clients of their own network in other regions of the country should think about tariff plans of the Smart line. Unlimited calls to all MTS numbers (on the territory of the country) are available on the Smart, Smart Unlimited, Smart+ tariff plans. The main disadvantage of these options is the high cost: the subscription fee for them is deducted from the account every month in the amount of 550 rubles. ("Smart"), 12, 90 rubles. (“Smart “Unlimited”; for subscribers who connected after 08/31/16 - 19.90 rubles), 900 rubles. (“Smart+”).
Of course, the subscription fee includes not only unlimited calls to MTS numbers, but also the amount of free minutes for calls to numbers of mobile operators (in your region), text messages, and Internet traffic. Despite the favorable MTS tariff for calls within Russia (unlimited communication), TPs of the Smart line are still more popular among active Internet users. Therefore, if there is no need for all the services that are included in the subscription fee for the tariff plan, then it makes sense to use the most favorable tariff for calls within Russia MTS ("Super MTS") or activate an additional option for your existing tariff plan.
On the possibility of connecting the tariff plan and the additional service "Favorable Intercity", check on the mobile operator's portal, through the contact center or at the company's office. You can also clarify this in your personal account - if the service / tariff plan is available for connection / transition, then it means that your TP in the region has the possibility of using them.
