Features of the tariff in the regions
Smart for people in Norilsk

For all subscribers connected before February 21, 2018, the subscription fee is 200 rubles, as in other regions.

It is currently impossible to connect “Smart for Friends” in Norilsk.
Smart for people in Kamchatka, Chukotka and Magadan
The same restrictions have been introduced for these regions as for Norilsk. The only exception is the VSet service, which is free. Connecting to the “Smart for Friends” tariff in these regions is currently prohibited.
Smart for people in Crimea
To SIM cards of the Republic of Crimea tariff plan"Smart for our own" does not connect. Subscribers with the “Smart for Friends” tariff from other regions can come to Crimea with their SIM card and be served in the same way as in other regions of Russia, without roaming.
How to connect Smart for your
The “Smart for Friends” tariff is intended for relatives and friends of MTS employees. However, some employees sell their codes online. Of course, MTS has a negative attitude towards this. But it is impossible to separate those who bought the code from those who received it as a gift. Therefore, if you buy and activate the code, you will be able to use the tariff for an unlimited time, and it will never go off.
You can connect “Smart for yours”.
Please note: If you change your “Smart for Friends” to any other tariff, you will not be able to reconnect it even for money. The “Smart for Friends” tariff can be activated only once on one number.
Using a special certificate (code)
This is the most common and quick way. Purchase a special promo code for the “Smart for Your Own” tariff from store employees and follow their instructions. The code must be sent to the short number 3620 and wait for a response message about changing the tariff plan. If you use the My MTS application, the tariff information in it may be updated with a delay of 5-30 minutes after activating the code.
According to the employee
Any employee of MTS PJSC can write and send a special application, according to which, within 5 working days, they will connect the “Smart for Our Own” tariff to the specified number. Such a connection can only be made to a number that was transferred to the MTS network from another telecom operator using the MNP service.
The MTS security service closely monitors that employees do not write such statements for money. Finding an employee who would connect you in this way is now almost impossible.
Free connection “Smart for your own”
From the end of 2016 to October 27, 2017, MTS carried out a promotion for free connection to the “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan. Unfortunately, this action is closed and, according to some signs, they are not going to resume it.
How to avoid being scammed when connecting
When purchasing a “Smart for Friends” tariff code, you should be careful! Don't forget that in addition to real big sellers, there are also scammers. Below are a few simple rules that will keep you as safe as possible when purchasing a code:
- Do not buy codes through social networks, even if the seller’s page looks complete, was created a long time ago and has a lot of reviews. Fraudsters hack popular pages on social networks and “sell” codes through them until the real owner of the page discovers this and restores access.
- Do not buy codes on Avito. The situation is exactly the same as with social networks. Even if the seller is “pumped up”, this does not mean that he is real.
- Do not buy “Smart for yours” on one-page websites. Fraudsters create such sites en masse, it’s not difficult. Then they put up advertisements in search engines and deceive buyers until such a site is blocked. And immediately after blocking one site, they create another and continue.
- Do not buy codes on unfamiliar forums. Topics about sales and reviews often cheat and deceive gullible buyers.
You can always use the “Smart for Your Own” tariff plan. They have been operating for several years and have a good reputation.
Can they disable Smart for Friends?
There have been no such cases during the entire existence of the “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan, since 2014. However, do not forget that if you turn off your “Smart for Friends” yourself, you will no longer be able to connect it back.
Re-connection “Smart for your own”
Reconnection The “Smart for Friends” tariff is not possible for most subscribers. The only way is to transfer the number to another network mobile operator, wait 2 months, transfer the number back to MTS and connect according to the application. But since now employees do not write such statements for money, you will definitely need a familiar MTS employee. Please note that employees of MTS communication stores are not in fact MTS employees; they are registered with another company - Russian Telephone Company (RTK). RTK employees will not be able to help you with connecting to the “Smart for Our Own” tariff; many of them don’t even know about it.
Conclusion
If you find an inaccuracy in my description of the “Smart for Your Own” tariff, have something to add or want to criticize, be sure to leave a comment. In addition, I am ready to answer any questions you have about the tariff.
A whole program to introduce MGTS clients to the joys of mobile communications. This includes delivery of a SIM card along with an MGTS account, and exclusive rate, and selection of matching numbers in phone numbers, and a test period for free trial. An interesting project in the win-win category, when both sides win.
About the phone number
Unfortunately, only a new connection; it is impossible to transfer a current MTS number. Or rather, perhaps, but not “Smart for our own”. But they found a number whose last four digits coincided with the digits of the MGTS landline phone number. It’s tempting, you see, you can sacrifice your previous number for the sake of matching numbers. Or, for example, to make a talkative spouse happy with such a number.
Number capacity in code (DEF) 958. We wisely managed a valuable resource. I remember how MTS once mediocrely squandered the capacity of 985, including on prepaid boxes. MegaFon at one time held back the capacity of 925 and offered completely matching numbers to all owners of direct cell numbers of other operators. The procedure was extremely simple: you came to the salon with your phone, the salon employee dialed a landline number, upon hearing the answer, made a connection to a completely matching number in code 925. I don’t know how many owners of landline numbers MegaFon managed to entice, but the idea was beautiful.
About the contract and free testing
They offer to try all the services and evaluate the quality within five days after activating the SIM card.
100 minutes, 100 SMS messages and 1 GB of traffic is a completely sufficient package for free testing if you have not used MTS services before. After concluding the contract, you will pay the invoice for mobile communications together with the bill for the MGTS landline telephone, that is, on credit. Also a significant plus and additional convenience.
About the tariff
Technically, the “Smart for Our Own” tariff is almost identical to previous version“Smart for your own” MTS. For a subscription fee of 200 rubles. per month they give a package of 500 minutes to all phones in their region, 500 SMS messages and 5 GB of Internet traffic. After the package of minutes is exhausted, unlimited access to MTS phones throughout Russia is enabled and, what is important, unlimited access to all MGTS landline phones.
MTS’s “Smart for Friends” tariff was recently improved (600 minutes/SMS and 10 GB of traffic), but the MGTS version has unlimited access to most landline phones in Moscow. And for the MTS version you will have to pay a considerable amount of money for connection (they sell conversion codes), and they can also deceive you. And, of course, no matching numbers telephone numbers you won't get it.
In my opinion, 200 rubles. per month at the present time is absolutely not the money for the sake of saving which it would be worth giving up the proposed “grocery set” and additional benefits. Unless, of course, you intend to continue using the MGTS landline phone. And certainly this option is much more interesting than those mobile tariffs MGTS, which the company officially offers on its website.
How to connect?
As far as I understand, the correct answer is no way on your own initiative. Just wait for the offer with a SIM card in the envelope of your monthly bill from MGTS. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to take advantage of this offer; if they don’t send it, then that’s your fate. It would be interesting to know about the scale and prospects of the project, but they are unlikely to tell us. Perhaps something will become clearer later or the proposal format will be corrected.
It is clear that MGTS will thus acquire a certain number of mobile subscribers. Yes, and someone will change their mind about giving up a landline phone if they have such a bundle. If you start adding up the numbers, the combination of a landline phone + “Smart for your own” will cost less than the regular SMART tariff with worse parameters.
Few people know that in addition to the tariff plans available for purchase and switching to anyone, there are very profitable, but not on sale, “closed” tariffs. The MTS company has released a very profitable tariff plan “Smart for its own” for its employees.
It’s just that the company’s employees recently had the opportunity to switch themselves, and also connect up to 10 MTS subscriber numbers to this non-public tariff at their discretion. Each employee receives free codes to switch to the Smart tariff plan for their employees. Naturally, offers to sell codes immediately began to appear on the market. If you do not have close friends or relatives among the operator’s employees, it will not be easy to get free opportunity transition to this closed tariff. The cost of a paid transition to this plan varies and can reach 3,000 rubles - it all depends on the appetite of the seller.
The first “For our own” version of the tariff has already undergone some changes. Let's do it detailed description tariff, which Mobile Telesystems is now distributing among a narrow circle of subscribers.
Those who switched to the “Smart for Our Own” plan for a subscription fee of 200 rubles per month will receive the following available packages of minutes and SMS:
- 600 minutes of calls to everything mobile numbers your region, including calls to MTS operator numbers.
- 600 outgoing SMS to numbers of any operators in your region.
- Free inbox when you are located throughout the country.
After the main packages of minutes and SMS expire, the prices become as follows:
- After the 10-hour communication package is exhausted, the cost of outgoing calls varies depending on the region where the SIM card was purchased. In the capital region, it is 2 rubles per minute of communication to numbers of any operators in your region.
- Outgoing calls outside your region are not included in the main package volume of available minutes and amount to 3 rubles per minute of communication when calling any operators.
- Users will pay 50 kopecks for 1 SMS to all operators in their region.
- SMS messages will cost 3 rubles 80 kopecks after the limit of 600 messages to operators in any region has been exhausted.
It should be noted that calls to MTS numbers are also included in the primary package of free minutes. But after the package is exhausted, they remain free both in their region and on MTS throughout Russia.
A user who subscribes to such a tariff receives the following conditions for using mobile Internet:
- A package of 10 GB of Internet traffic, valid throughout the country without additional roaming surcharges.
- Automatically connected Internet traffic packages after the main limit of 500 MB is exhausted for 75 rubles each. No more than 15 such Internet packages can be used per month. Automatic connection additional packages can be adjusted independently.
- After the end of additional packages, the user can use the “Turbo button” options of 100 or 500 MB in size to access the Internet.
Important! The MTS “Smart for Friends” tariff works without taking into account intranet roaming countrywide. That is, the connected subscriber is served in his own way home tariff, located in any region of the state. The conditions included in the tariff itself are the same as for subscriptions to the “ ” option.
Connecting a tariff
How to activate the “Smart for Your Own” tariff? A company employee is given 10 activation codes for personal use. The tariff change occurs without replacing the SIM card. If you did receive such a code in one way or another, then to switch to the “Smart for Your Own” tariff on MTS you just need to do one of two actions:
- Dial the USSD combination *362*000000*0000# on your phone, changing the zeros to your digital code.
- Call number 3620 and change the tariff in call mode.
Attention! When changing your tariff plan to this closed tariff, you must have at least 200 rubles in your account balance, since the subscription fee is debited at the time of the transition.
Go to new tariff The plan is usually carried out within 1 day. How do you know that a new tariff has already been activated?
- The name of your tariff is displayed.
- The USSD command *111*59# will allow you to get the name of the tariff in the information message.
How can you find out, while on such a tariff, how many minutes, traffic and messages are left available for use? It will be possible to do this using standard methods, the same as on any other Smart line tariff:
- In your Personal Account on the operator’s website at: https://login.mts.ru/.
- IN mobile application My MTS.
- Using the USSD combination *111*217#, then make a call.
It is worth noting some disadvantages associated with using the MTS “Smart for Our Own” tariff plan. When you switch to a new tariff, the main inconvenience is calls within the network, limited to a 10-hour monthly limit. Next, unlimited calls within the network begin, but by that time the time for outgoing calls to numbers of third-party operators must be spent. Another inconvenience is that calls to other regions cannot be made against the accrued 10 hours.
As a result, you will agree that for 200 rubles of a monthly subscription fee, a subscriber who switches to such an MTS tariff receives an excellent offer. Other tariffs, even with the availability of various packages and options, will not provide such a ratio of price and volume of services. This is a practically minimized “Ultra” tariff, only for a very modest price.
Let us remind you that it is impossible to purchase SIM cards with the “Smart for Your Own” tariff from MTS. Therefore, those who want to switch to such mobile communications will have to look for codes to switch on their own.

“Smart for your own”: Moscow and region
Tariff parameters using the example of Moscow and the region:
Good afternoon
I've been meaning to write a full detailed instructions for people who want to connect to the “Smart for their own” tariff when switching to the MTS network from other telecom operators, and your question came in very handy.
We connect "Smart for our own" with MNP
1. (optional) Visit the office of your current operator and ask to check the contract details with your passport. Sometimes it happens that there are errors in the contract. In this case, your current operator will cancel the transfer to MTS and you will have to start all over again.
2. Visit the MTS office with your passport and write an application to transfer the number to the MTS network. An office employee will give you a form, you fill it out and give it back. After this, you will be given an MTS SIM card with a temporary number, which will be replaced with the number you are transferring after the process is completed.
Most likely, you will be given a SIM card with the “Smart Mini” tariff, which has a subscription fee of 300 rubles per month. If you ask for a different tariff, they will either tell you that there are no SIM cards, or they will persuade you not to change the tariff for now. At this stage, it is very important not to listen to the office employee (he receives bonuses for the Smart Mini tariff sold) and demand that the SIM card be transferred to the " Super MTS", which has no subscription fee. If an office employee refuses, you can change the tariff yourself in paragraph 3 of these instructions. But if the tariff has not been changed, do not top up your account under any circumstances! Otherwise, you will lose 300 rubles, since the first subscription fee will be charged at the "Smart Mini" tariff.
3. Now you need to disable everything on the new SIM card paid services and, if the tariff has not yet been changed to “Super MTS” - do so. We have a detailed article about this: . You can change the tariff there, in the application or in your personal account, in the “My Account” section:
4. Now all you have to do is wait. After some time, you will receive an SMS from MTS, which will inform you of the exact date and time the number will be transferred to the MTS network. If the first step of the instructions is not completed, then there is a small chance that your current operator will cancel porting the number at this stage. However, this happens extremely rarely.
5. At the specified date and time, your number will begin to work on the MTS SIM card, now you can activate the “Smart for yours” tariff. Make sure once again that you do not have paid services connected, then top up your balance with more than 200 rubles (preferably 300-400 to have a reserve).
6. Fill out the form at the address, in the field "Option to switch to tariff:" indicate " Smart for your own - free"(as of October 27, 2017, the free transfer is no longer available; see the current offers on the order page). If you don’t want to wait 10 working days, you can choose accelerated connection options for 200 or 790 rubles. After some time, the operator will contact you, clarify the details and initiate the procedure for connecting to the “Smart for Our Own” tariff. Depending on the chosen method, the transition to “Smart for your own” takes 1-10 business days, during all this time the balance of your number must be strictly more than 200 rubles. After completing the transition to the “Smart for Your Own” TP, pay the cost of the service provided (except free option) according to the details specified by the operator.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please, or leave a comment.
