Detailed description of the MTS Smart Mini tariff
For only 200 rubles per month, MTS subscribers get the opportunity to use packages of free minutes and SMS messages, as well as high-speed access to the Network. The MTS Smart Mini tariff plan has the following basic characteristics:
After using free minutes and SMS packages, as well as for calls and SMS outside the provided packages, the following prices apply:
The price of one SMS message to be sent within the home region at the MTS Smart Mini tariff after the free package is used up is 1 ruble. The free package does not apply to numbers from other regions of the Russian Federation and SMS costs 3.80 rubles. Sending SMS to the numbers of subscribers of international operators - 5.25 rubles.
If there is a need to check the remaining minutes and SMS, this can be done by sending the command *100*1# from the phone. You can find out the amount of available Internet traffic on the website internet.mts.ru or using the request *217#.
Internet on MTS Smart Mini tariff
On this tariff plan, only 500 MB are initially available - a volume sufficient for comfortable Internet surfing. However, this will not be enough to view multimedia content. You can turn off the MTS Smart Mini tariff and change it to a tariff plan with a large amount of traffic, but this takes a long time and is not so profitable if the other characteristics of the tariff suit you.
The best option is to use the option "Additional Internet Smart”, which automatically connects packages of 500 MB worth 75 rubles each. In one month, you can activate up to 15 packages inclusive. The option is enabled on the "Smart Mini" tariff initially, you can disable and re-enable it by sending the command *111*936# .
The MTS Smart Mini tariff plan allows subscribers to use the Turbo Button options for 500 Mb, 2 Gb and 5 Gb - they provide the specified traffic volumes for 30 days. In addition, you can activate an additional package of 1 GB for 120 rubles on a monthly basis.
How to connect the Smart Mini MTS tariff?
The cost of switching to the tariff is 0 rubles. Before connecting the Smart Mini tariff to MTS, make sure that the balance of the phone is sufficient for making the first payment - 220 rubles. You can switch to the tariff in one of the following ways:
- Send a short command from the phone *111*1023# .
- Contact an employee in one of the offices with a request to connect to the tariff plan.
You can also purchase a new SIM card with the Smart Mini tariff connected or connect Smart Mini to MTS through your personal account on the MTS official website - this is not difficult and does not take much time. There you can also view detailed description tariff plan.
There was a need to turn off the "Smart Mini" MTS? To do this, you should change the tariff to another more suitable one - for example, to a basic tariff without a subscription fee.
MTS has updated its line of Smart tariffs for the 101st time. And immediately, for the two hundred and first time, a collusion between the operators is visible: if in December, comparing the new tariffs “Everything!” from Beeline, I praised the MTS Smart mini tariff, which looked much better than “All for 200”, now they are almost equal.
The MTS operator once again hung a portion of noodles on our ears. Under the title “Smart tariffs for smartphones - becoming even more profitable!” visible deterioration. Either a tasty piece was cut off, or for an increased monthly fee, they foisted something that is of little demand: extra minutes and SMS packages. And although logic suggests that on smartphones with the Internet always on, the whole world switched to WhatsApp a long time ago, and SMS messages go down in history, MTS on the junior Smart mini tariff managed to cut the Internet traffic package by 2 times, instead giving 50 SMS per month .

The transition to all "smarts" is free.
Our IMHO
To say that MTS tariffs of the Smart series turned out to be more interesting than the previous ones, starting, for example, from a slight increase in minutes in packages or supplementing them with SMS messages, is called deceiving each other. Everywhere as at home Smart, added to the initial package of a number of them, is also not needed by everyone, and trips to the regions are usually made only periodically.
The number of minutes per user (MoU coefficient) for MTS is small on average. It follows from this that most of the operator's subscribers simply will not spend these minutes and text messages, but they will still be forced to pay monthly as part of the monthly fee.
At the same time, the remains of unused packages (services, minutes, traffic - as you wish) burn out and are not transferred to the next month. And the unlimited on MTS (except for the Smart Mini tariff plan), let me remind you, begins to operate only after the total package of voice calls is used up, which is spent on all networks, incl. and MTS "home" region.
In general, a stone on a stone, a rake on a rake. your MTS.
Addition
A serious set-up was found on the new Smart tariffs: as on Beeline, now there is an automatic connection of new Internet packages in case the original ones are exhausted. By default, you will be charged 30 rubles. for 300 MB. Inattentive - get on the money. Attentive - disable this option with the combination *111*936# [call]. And, by the way, for you to have absolutely “fun” - bonus traffic packages on “smarts” do not work, pay for auto-renewal or “Turbo buttons”.
Among the “Smart” tariff line from MTS, the “Smart mini” tariff plan is considered the simplest. Within its framework, the subscriber receives packages of basic services for a minimal fee. Thus, MTS subscribers can always be in touch.
Tariff features
The subscription fee for using the tariff is only 300 rubles. In some regions of Russia, it can be either slightly lower - 200 per month, or reach 350 rubles per month.
The package includes the following options:
- 250 minutes for calls in the home region. It does not matter what kind of operator it is - MTS, Beeline, MegaFon or any other.
- 250 SMS for sending within the region.
- Internet traffic in the amount of 500 megabytes to 1 gigabyte. The amount depends both on the area in which the subscriber lives and on how long he has been using the tariff. In a number of areas, within the first two months, 1 gigabyte is issued, after the expiration of the period, the amount of traffic is halved.
Please note that the service package is valid only if the subscriber is in the home region.
"Everywhere at home"
One of the features of the tariff is that it works only within your region. As soon as you leave it, roaming turns on and you have to pay several times more for communication. In order not to overpay on trips, the operator offers subscribers to use the option "Everywhere at home". When it is connected, the cost of communication will be the same as at home.
Every month, 100 rubles per month will be charged from your balance for using the function.
To connect, dial *111*1021# call key. You can disable the option by redialing the request. When you get home, don't forget to deactivate it, otherwise your balance will be charged monthly. Thus, your communication expenses will already amount to 400 rubles, instead of 300.
Billing
After the basic service packages are used, the next billing is activated.
For calls:
- Within the MTS network - free of charge.
- To the numbers of other operators at home and communication with other MTS subscribers outside the home - 2.
- Other operators outside the region - 14.
Sending messages:
- For home numbers - 1.50.
- To the numbers of other regions of Russia - 3.80.
- MMS - 9.90.
Incoming messages are free.
Internet
As part of the package, the subscriber is provided with from 500 to 1,000 megabytes of high-speed Internet. After it is exhausted, the subscriber is automatically provided with an additional 500 megabytes of Internet traffic. In this case, its cost will be 75 rubles. As soon as it is exhausted, you will again be provided additional traffic and write off the specified amount from the balance. During the month, you can additionally provide up to 15 packages. 
If you do not want to receive additional traffic, just dial the USSD request *111*936# .
Please note that Internet traffic is provided only within the home. Otherwise, you must use the "Everywhere at home" option.
International calls and SMS
A few words about international communication. As part of the tariff plan, free minutes for communication with other countries are not provided. In general, the rates are the same as in most tariff models.
The cost of a call depends on the country. So, a minute of conversation will cost:
- With subscribers of the CIS countries - 35 rubles.
- With residents of Europe - 49.
- Other countries - 70.
The cost of sending one short message is 5.25.
Incoming messages are not charged.
Cons of the tariff
Unfortunately, like any other tariff from MTS, "Smart mini" has a number of drawbacks. These include the following:
- The tariff is valid only within the home region. Of course, you can activate the service "Everywhere at home", but it is paid. In addition, if you forget to turn it off in time, you can lose extra 100 rubles a month.
- Catch with free 250 minutes. They are provided not only for calls to numbers of other operators in the region, but to MTS numbers. That is, if you call MTS numbers for the first 250 minutes, then the subsequent call to Beeline will already be paid at a rate of 2 rubles per minute. Therefore, before calling, it is advisable to check the balance of package services. You can do this with the request *100*1# .
- Internet. Another big disadvantage is the automatic paid renewal of traffic. Well, if you have a regular black and white phone or an old color model that does not require constant updates. But if you are a smartphone owner, then beware. Every day your device will update all the programs installed on it using batch traffic. In most cases, after half a month the basic package will be used up, and you will have to pay for additional megabytes. Therefore, it is necessary to turn off the possibility of auto-renewal of the function in a timely manner or set a limit on the use of the Internet on your mobile device.
