Smart mini Tatarstan description. Set “Smart mini basic. Connecting and disconnecting TP MTS Smart mini

Mobile operators have long been trying to transfer their customers to tariffs with a subscription fee. Such tariffs are beneficial for the operator, as they provide a fixed daily or monthly fee (usually monthly) for a certain volume of service packages (minutes, SMS, Internet). Of course, such tariff plans are beneficial for many subscribers. Everyone can subscribe to a suitable offer depending on their own needs. However, the disadvantage of such tariffs is that the subscription fee will remain unchanged, even if the subscriber does not consume the packages available within the tariff plan. If you are far from the most demanding MTS subscriber and you need a tariff plan with a small subscription fee and minimal service packages, then this review will be interesting for you. The MTS “Smart mini” tariff is the cheapest in its line. MTS currently does not have a cheaper tariff with a subscription fee.

In this article we will tell you what the Smart mini tariff from MTS is. Any tariff plan has pitfalls and the “Smart mini” tariff is no exception to the rule. This guide will allow you to decide whether this tariff plan will be beneficial for you. Careful study of the article will eliminate the possibility of disappointment in the tariff. If you already have an idea about the MTS Smart mini tariff and you are only interested in connection methods, go straight to the end of the article.

Functionality of the “Smart mini” MTS tariff

MTS provides its customers with a fairly large range of tariffs with a subscription fee. The MTS “Smart mini” tariff opens this line. The size of the subscription fee will vary depending on the specific region (from 200 to 300 rubles per month). It is not possible to provide data for each individual region within one article, and there is hardly a need for this. Differences can only be in the amount of the subscription fee and the volume of service packages. You can always find out the information relevant for your region on the MTS website. As an example, we will present data for Moscow and the region. Please note that the differences will only be in the subscription fee and the size of the packages; the rest of the information provided in the review will be relevant regardless of your locality.

Before moving on to the features and pitfalls (which no tariff plan can do without), let’s look at the stated terms of the tariff. As you understand, you shouldn’t expect much for a subscription fee of 300 rubles per month.

MTS “Smart mini” tariff includes:

• 2 GB internet per month;
• Unlimited calls to MTS in your home region;
• 250 minutes to numbers of other operators in the home region and MTS of Russia;
• 250 SMS to home region subscribers.

As expected, the tariff packages are quite modest; in addition, many services are not included in the tariff, which means additional expenses may arise. It is worth noting that many subscribers, in pursuit of the minimum subscription fee, forget about other associated costs, as a result of which, instead of the desired savings, they receive significant additional expenses. Before you sign up for a particular tariff plan, always look ahead. Perhaps, instead of a smart mini, it will be more profitable to connect to a tariff with a higher subscription fee, for example, Smart, which includes more substantial service packages.

Price of communication services on the MTS Smart mini tariff

Obviously, the service packages available within the Smart mini tariff will not be sufficient for all subscribers. In this case, you should either consider other MTS tariffs, or pay additionally in addition to the monthly fee. Which option will be more profitable depends only on you. In any case, you need to calculate everything, and for this you need to familiarize yourself with the prices for communication services.

The cost of communication services on the MTS “Smart mini” tariff:

• Calls to numbers of other operators in your home region after the package is exhausted - 2 rubles. per minute;
• Calls to numbers of other operators outside the home region - 14 rubles. per minute;
• Calls to MTS Russia phones after the package is exhausted - 2 rubles. per minute;
• SMS to all phones outside the home region - 3.80 rubles.

Special mention should be made about Internet traffic. For a modern person, 2 gigabytes of Internet is very little, and if you need much more, it is better to immediately consider another tariff, for example, Smart Unlimited. The fact is that the MTS “Smart mini” tariff does not provide for the possibility of connecting the option with large Internet packages. After 2 gigabytes are exhausted, an additional 500 MB package will be automatically connected for 75 rubles. If you actively consume the Internet, then such conditions will be extremely unfavorable for you. For active network users there is an application with MTS unlimited Internet.

What to pay attention to when switching to the “Smart mini” tariff

We have figured out the basic conditions of the “Smart mini” tariff. It would seem that everything is extremely clear; all that remains is to decide whether the packages available within the tariff will be enough until the end of the billing period or not. So it is, but there are some other aspects that should also be paid attention to. Of course, they will not be important for everyone, but every person planning to switch to the Smart mini tariff should know about them. Below is a list of features of the tariff plan that we think deserve attention.

Features of the MTS “Smart mini” tariff:

1. The tariff plan provides for automatic activation of the “Additional Internet Smart” option. The option provides 500 megabytes for 75 rubles. The service will be automatically activated immediately after the Internet package is exhausted.
2. The tariff does not provide for the possibility of connecting any Internet options other than “Additional Internet Smart”. That is, if you want to connect to a service with a large Internet package, you will be denied due to the incompatibility of the tariff plan with such options.
3. The MTS website says that there is no fee for switching to the tariff. Meanwhile, if less than a month has passed since the last change of the tariff plan, you will have to pay 150 rubles + subscription fee for connection.
4. You cannot use the tariff in a modem or router. There is also a restriction on the use of file-sharing networks. This feature of the tariff can hardly be considered significant due to the too small Internet package, but you should be aware of this fact.

Please note that we have listed only the most well-known features of the MTS “Smart mini” tariff. Meanwhile, there are other pitfalls. If you have anything to add to the material, leave comments. It should also be said that MTS (like other mobile operators) often automatically activates additional services when switching to a tariff. As a rule, the fee for these services is not charged for the first month, and therefore the subscriber may not be aware of the availability of paid services for a long time. The easiest way to find out which services are connected and disable them is through.
