    Description of service« Double number»
    MTS has launched a new service for MTS corporate subscribers - "Double number", which will allow all users to simultaneously use two MTS numbers connected to a single SIM card. The service will soon be introduced for individuals. This is great news.

    “Today, many Russians use multiple SIM cards, so phones with support for two SIM cards or SIM cards with dual numbers are in demand. MTS offers subscribers a convenient and at the same time profitable solution that allows them to be in touch on two numbers at the same time, using one telephone set. At the same time, users have a unique opportunity to separate their communication on personal and work issues, and effectively control communication costs.”

    MTS Vice President for Commercial Affairs Mikhail Gerchuk noted.

    Main advantage « Double number» is that you can simultaneously use two MTS numbers on a regular (phones that do not support two SIM cards) telephone. Regular, non-dual SIM mobile phones are generally much cheaper.

    In addition to this, the service « Double number » provides the opportunity to separate work and personal communication between employees (i.e. the ability to share the costs of cellular communications between the employee and the employer).

    Advantages of the “Double Room” service

    1. Use two MTS numbers simultaneously in one telephone set
    2. Separate your personal and work communications, which means splitting the costs of cellular communications between the employee and the employer
    3. Combine different MTS tariffs on one SIM card at the same time: profitable calls and cheap Internet access
    4. Save incoming communications (calls, SMS messages) when switching to a new MTS number

    This is a unique SIM card with a service that includes a service for using and switching between two MTS numbers:
    MTS number 1 - your main MTS number;
    MTS number 2 is your additional MTS number.

    “Double room” service will allow you to make and receive calls, receive and send SMS/MMS messages, as well as use other MTS services from any of two numbers connected to one SIM card. In this case, invoices for communication services can be issued either together or separately in accordance with the tariff plan you previously selected.

    With the “Double Number” service you can separate your work and personal communication.

    How to connect« Double number» ?
    Answer: At the moment the service is available only for corporate subscribers
    To activate the “Double Number” service, you need to contact your personal manager and receive a new special SIM card for free. For this you will need:

    • buy a SIM card with the service "Double number"
    • or exchange your old SIM card for a new card with the MTS “Double Number” service and buy a new second SIM card
    • or replace your two old MTS SIM cards with one with the “Double number” service

    How to disable the service« Double number» ?

    Answer: If you need to disable the MTS “Double Number” service, you can do it like this:

    • can you send the code 21962 to a toll-free number 111
    • or by dialing a free request *111*2196*2#
    • or call the MTS helpline

    Surely, many of MTS subscribers thought about why a cellular operator cannot introduce such a service as providing a client with several SIM cards with the same number. Well, it would be great, one in the phone, the other in the tablet, used purely for the Internet, and the third, which would be ideal, in the car, provided that it has a built-in gadget. This would be an ideal solution: you top up a single account and use the devices at your own discretion.

    At the moment such an option does not exist. Neither MTS nor any other mobile communications company in the Russian Federation provides SIM card duplication services. You won't be able to do this on your own either.

    What is this connected with? A number of subscribers would be happy to take advantage of such an offer. In fact, at the moment this is impossible from a technical point of view and undesirable from a practical point of view.

    Is it possible to clone a SIM card yourself?

    This opportunity existed back in the 2000s, from the beginning to the middle. Technically, creating a clone of a card at home was not difficult. To do this, you needed basic equipment, some kind of programmer, and, of course, a personal computer. At the moment, law enforcement agencies and mobile operators are fighting for the so-called “purity of the air.” That is, modern SIM cards are so advanced compared to their ancestors that it is simply impossible to clone them. The encryption protocol makes it impossible for even the most advanced hacker to find the key.

    In general, of course, you can try, but attempt will result in the main Sim becoming a useless piece of plastic. Therefore, here it is worth thinking about saving your time and acting officially, that is, purchasing cards with different numbers for all your gadgets. In fact, this will not cause any difficulties, since you can now top up your account without leaving your home, and a huge selection of tariff plans allows you to optimize your expenses and reduce them to a minimum. Even with different personal accounts of MTS numbers.

    And also, when thinking about such a possibility as a duplicate SIM, just think about what risk you are exposing yourself, your data, and your funds too, given that now most bank cards, accounts, and commercial activities are tied to phones. If a clone of the card ends up in the hands of a dishonest person, then at the very least you can lose money, and in the worst case scenario, you can be suspected of some kind of crime.

    What is a TWIN card

    MTS TWIN card – this is a special service that offers its users to get two SIM cards with an identical number. At the moment, it is officially impossible to purchase a TWIN kit in the Russian Federation. However, on the territory of Belarus you can take advantage of such an offer. To do this, you need to contact the office and write an application for the provision of services.

    Cards can be used in one telephone set, or in two different ones, and there are two modes of operation of Twin cards:

    • Simultaneous, when both SIM cards are active on the network and can receive calls. Here the cards can be of different sizes, both standard and micro; their size must be indicated in the application for the set. In this case, dialing can be parallel or sequential; this is also indicated in the application.
    • Alternating - when the first card is working, the second one loses activity on the network, that is, the equipment where the second one is installed will need to be turned off while the first one is working. In this case, SIM cards will only be standard sizes.

    The mode is determined by the subscriber himself when purchasing the kit. It can only be changed by contacting a communication shop, which will probably require replacing the entire set.

    Reception of messages, text or multimedia, is available only for one of the SIM cards. You can purchase the kit at any of the MTS communication stores in Belarus; it costs 12.5 rubles in the currency of the republic. You can cancel your Twin Card by visiting any nearest salon.

    There is also a restriction on the use of Twin cards on a number of tariffs, these are:

    • Unlimited;
    • Corporate unlimited Internet;
    • Internet for home.

    The impossibility of purchasing a duplicate SIM card and Twin set on the territory of the Russian Federation requires the search for other ways to establish communication, for example the “Double Number” special offer, but we will talk about this next time.

    Until recently, one could only dream of a mobile phone. And now it’s not uncommon for one user to have several devices intended for different purposes. The MTS Belarus operator offers such users an innovative service - “TWIN Card Connection”.

    Purpose

    The client who has written an application to activate the service receives a pair of SIM cards with an identical subscriber number. On each of which you can use voice and Internet communications, as well as other telecommunications services, without restrictions.

    The main identifier can be inserted into a smartphone, and the additional identifier into a tablet or phone built into a car. And thus, the subscriber will always be in touch, not miss an important message, and will respond to greetings left on social networks.

    The applicant chooses the format of the additional SIM independently depending on the device:

    • mini-SIM;
    • micro-SIM;
    • nano-SIM.

    Operating mode

    While at an MTS service point, the client is determined by the size of the main and additional SIM cards. If necessary, the equipment can be changed by contacting the salon specialists.

    Alternate

    This format of work assumes that the subscriber is issued two new SIM cards of standard sizes at once. Only one of them can be active on the network. That is, while the subscriber is talking on one phone, the second one is turned off.


    Simultaneous

    You can immediately apply for two SIM cards or, having a primary ID, apply for an additional one if necessary. The subscriber indicates the type of additional card at the time of filling out the application at the representative office. When ordering the service, the subscriber can change the type of main SIM card free of charge.

    Incoming call settings

    The user has the right to configure an incoming call in such a way that the call will:

    • parallel, that is, arriving simultaneously on two devices;
    • sequential, when a call arrives on one device, but if it is unavailable, it arrives on the second.

    Price


    The cost of the kit and connection is 15.00 Belarusian rubles, including government taxes and fees. Funds are debited from your balance once upon connection. There is no subscription fee.

    Sending technological requests that allow you to manage the “TWIN Card Connection” service is free of charge.

    Each mobile ID is charged according to the terms of the connected tariff plan.

    The “TWIN Card Connection” service allows the subscriber to use 2 SIM cards with one subscriber number. The service is provided to all MTS subscribers.

    SIM cards provided as part of the “TWIN Card Connection” service can be used with subscriber equipment:

    • simultaneously(two SIM cards are simultaneously active in the MTS network).

    "Simultaneous" mode:

    In this mode of operation of SIM cards, two new SIM cards are provided to the subscriber upon application for the provision of the “TWIN Card Connection” service in the MTS salon.

    If the subscriber already has a valid SIM card provided previously, a second SIM card can be issued in addition to it, without replacing the existing SIM card.

    For “simultaneous” operation of TWIN cards, the subscriber can be provided with SIM cards of various sizes (SIM + SIM, SIM + micro-SIM, micro-SIM + micro-SIM, etc.). The types of SIM cards are indicated by the subscriber in the application for the provision of the service. If a subscriber wishes to change the type of SIM card used when ordering the “TWIN Card Connection” service, this replacement is not charged;

    When two SIM cards operate “simultaneously”, the subscriber can choose to set the following settings for receiving incoming calls:

    • "parallel dialing"(the call is received simultaneously on 2 SIM cards)
    • "sequential dialing"(the call is sent to SIM card No. 1; in case of busyness, hang-up, no answer within 40 seconds or the subscriber is unavailable, the call is sent to SIM card No. 2). The type of dialing is determined by the subscriber and is indicated in the application for the provision of the service. The dialing type can be changed by the subscriber by contacting the MTS Communications Salon or the MTS Contact Center.

    When setting “sequential dialing”, the dialing order can be determined and changed by the subscriber independently using the following commands:
