A new gadget every year: MTS launches the sale of smartphones by subscription. MTS retains subscribers with huge discounts Read more about Autopayment

And mobile Internet access throughout Russia has decreased over the past year, but in reality everything is a little different. Telecommunications companies began to earn even more by connecting all kinds of paid subscriptions and automatically activating paid packages of additional traffic. All operators from the “Big Four” this year changed the terms of service on old tariffs and new ones, and not in favor of subscribers. It is for this reason that a 30% discount on any tariff from the MTS operator may now come in handy.

Not long ago, a website publication reported that the mobile operator MegaFon is giving its subscribers a free service that is valid for one year. As it turned out, MTS does the same, but it offers slightly different conditions for profitable service. It is important to note that anyone can start paying a quarter less for their tariff plan every month, but to do this you will have to spend a little time and effort to get to the phone shop.

For several years now, Russian legislation has enshrined the possibility of number portability, which is actively used by citizens of the country. Getting a discount from the MTS operator on payment for communication services is quite simple, because to do this you just need to contact the Tele2 communication salon and write an application to port your number to this company. You can choose others, but in this case the discount amount will most likely be smaller.

The application will be processed for about 1-2 days, and then an employee of the MTS support service will call the subscriber who is leaving for another operator. He will ask about the reasons for this decision. Here it is important to inform you that Tele2 (the operator to which the number is transferred) has significantly lower prices for communications. In this case, almost always, the loyalty service employee offers a 30% discount. It is this amount of money that MTS tariffs are more expensive than those from Tele2.

It is important to note that the discount is not provided for one year, as is the case with MegaFon, but on an ongoing basis, at least this is reported by the loyalty service employee. Moreover, it will continue to operate even if you change the tariff plan to any other, that is, it is tied specifically to the phone number. It may also happen that no one calls from MTS, although this is extremely unlikely. In this case, you will not be able to get a discount, and on the 3-4th day you should stop the number porting procedure yourself (this is free and legal).

Previously, the cellular operator was determined to be Russia. It was possible to determine it through a survey, and among the possible answer options were MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, Tele2 and Yota.

The largest and most famous mobile operator in Russia is, of course, MTS, whose total capitalization exceeds that of MegaFon and Beeline combined. It is also ahead of each of its competitors in terms of the number of subscribers, because it has more than 50 million of them. As it turned out, each of them can get a 50% discount on any tariff plans and services, thanks to which you will have to pay half as much, no matter what tariff was active.

Several years ago, Russia passed a law, one of the latest in ten years, which obligated all Russian operators to port numbers from each other so that the subscriber did not feel like a slave. In other words, they abolished “mobile slavery”, and did it with the help of MNP technology. Due to this, any Russian, if he is dissatisfied with the quality of service, can easily change his mobile operator in just a few days, but this can be done no more than once every three months.

You can get a 50% discount from the mobile operator MTS very simply. All you have to do is go to any telecommunications company and then write there an application to port your number. Since the MNP procedure requires the old operator's consent, he will immediately know that his client wants to leave. After this, it is important to go to the phone and have a conversation with an employee, the leader of which will be himself.

It is important to understand that it is not just a technical support employee calling, but a representative of the customer loyalty department. He has much more authority and experience, and he also has the right to make unique proposals. It is best to apply for a transfer to Tele2, because this operator has the lowest prices. During a telephone conversation, an employee of the MTS operator will ask about the reasons for switching to another company, to which you need to name two.

It is important to note that the discount is provided forever, and it will be valid even if you change the tariff plan to another. The amount of the discount may vary. It all depends on the subscriber’s value to the operator, as well as on the persuasiveness of his words during the conversation. However, they definitely won’t offer a discount of less than 25%. If it suddenly happens that no conditions are offered, it will be enough to interrupt the number porting procedure yourself. All this, of course, is absolutely free, so there is no risk.

Everyone must decide for themselves whether to pay 100% for communication services all their life, or use them at half price, that is, with a 50% discount, taking a one-time risk, although there is no risk at all. Earlier it became known that the mobile operator MTS will soon offer all its tariff plans and services.

Don't miss your chance! Until June 2 inclusive, everyone has the unique opportunity of Xiaomi Redmi AirDots, spending only 2 minutes of their personal time on it.

29.11.2018

From December 1, 2018, a new service for selling smartphones by subscription will be launched in MTS communication stores. This is a new type of purchasing gadgets - the user receives a device at a big discount and will be able to exchange it for a new model every year. We'll tell you how it works further.

Every year - a new smartphone

Under the new program, you can take any Samsung smartphone for a 12-month subscription. In February 2019, the promotion will be extended to devices from Apple, Huawei and other manufacturers, and the subscription can be chosen for 24 months.

As part of a subscription, the client does not have to pay the entire price for the product at once, but pays monthly for the smartphone. MTS makes a discount on the device - for 12 months the user will pay only half of the price of the purchased gadget. After a year, he will be able to exchange the device for a new model, continuing to pay for the subscription service.

The service will be available to all MTS subscribers and is closely integrated with the user’s number: the monthly payment is debited from the mobile account along with the subscription fee for the tariff, while the user receives a 10% discount on communication services for the entire period of using the subscription.

How the subscription service works

The process of purchasing and paying for a smartphone subscription is simple:

1. The user comes to the MTS salon and selects any Samsung smartphone.
2. The specialist draws up a subscription agreement, which is provided by MTS Bank. He will immediately be told the monthly payment amount for the device along with the subscription fee for the MTS tariff plan.
3. After 12 months, the user comes to any MTS store, returns his used gadget, chooses a new model and renews his subscription.

Example: If you take a Galaxy Note9 in classic installments for 12 months with a tariff with unlimited Internet for 650 rubles, then the monthly payment for the smartphone and communications will be 6,482 rubles. When purchasing via subscription, the customer receives Note9 and a discounted data plan. Thus, he must pay 3,400 rubles per month.

The client receives an up-to-date smartphone with a monthly payment that is half that of the classic installment plan. Also, unlike a loan, the user does not need to think about where and how to pay the monthly payment. Under the subscription program, payment is debited directly from the subscriber's mobile account.

Answers to popular questions

– In this case, a very simple redemption procedure is provided. The user may not come to the MTS salon and not warn about his unwillingness to renew his subscription. He will need to continue paying the monthly payment for another six months. Thus, his obligations to MTS Bank will be fulfilled.

– Smartphones in working condition are accepted for exchange – minor scratches and small chips are allowed. If the smartphone is in very worn condition, then to renew the subscription you will have to pay up to 30% of the cost of the smartphone being returned. The amount depends on the condition of the device, and the maximum amount of 30% will have to be paid only in cases where the device cannot be restored or is lost.

– In this case, the client will still have obligations to MTS Bank. The user will have to continue paying the monthly payment via bank details as a regular installment. The opportunity to profitably change your smartphone in the twelfth month will also disappear.

– After a year, the subscription agreement will be renewed, and the amount of the monthly payment will change up or down, depending on the cost of the new device that the client chooses. If the gadget costs the same as last year’s device, then the payments will not change.

Previously, one could only dream of being able to change a mobile operator and at the same time keep the old phone number. Now this procedure has become commonplace and not very expensive. This not only provided a way for customers to seamlessly switch to better services, but also increased competition among mobile operators. They began to fight for their customers, offering profitable promotions, additional options and other equally pleasant things. And recently it turned out that the MTS company retains subscribers with huge discounts.

Thus, subscribers of Mobile TeleSystems, who have been using the services of this company for a long time, but suddenly decided to transfer their number to another mobile operator, receive entertaining SMS messages. As you might guess, the sender of the message is the MTS company, which makes an offer that is very difficult to refuse. The essence of the offer is a huge discount on several tariffs.

The message itself looks like this: “Stay with MTS with a discount of up to 70% on any Smart or Ultra tariff line. This is much more profitable than other operators can offer. Call us toll-free at 88002508250. Your personal manager is waiting for your call.” To appreciate how generous the mobile operator has become, you need to know that the Ultra tariff plan is the most expensive, with a monthly fee of 2,900 rubles.

The Ultra tariff includes 5,000 minutes of conversation, a 20 GB Internet traffic package and 5,000 available SMS. Plus, there is a complete absence of any additional payments and dedicated service. Taking into account the discount, all this happiness will cost only 870 rubles every month instead of the usual 2900. An incredibly profitable and simply unprecedented offer, other operators really do not have such conditions.

Also included in the impressive discount are Smart mini, Smart Top, “Our Smart” and Smart. But the offer does not apply to “Hype” and “My Unlimited”. It seems that the MTS company is determined and not only does not intend to let go of its long-term clients, but also intends to fight for them. Well, competition between companies has always benefited the common consumer, and subscribers should make the most of the situation.
