MGTS, tariff "Smart for their

A whole program to introduce MGTS customers to the joys of mobile communications. Here is the delivery of a SIM card along with an MGTS account, and an exclusive tariff, and the selection of matching numbers in phone numbers, and a test period for free review. An interesting project of the win-win category, when both sides win.

About phone number

Unfortunately, only a new connection, it is impossible to transfer a valid MTS number. Or rather, perhaps, but not on "Smart for their own." But they picked up a number, the last four digits of which coincide with the digits of the MGTS landline telephone number. It is tempting, you see, for the sake of matching numbers, you can sacrifice the previous number. Or, for example, to make a talkative spouse happy with such a number.

Numbering capacity in code (DEF) 958. Wise use of a valuable resource. I remember how in MTS they once mediocrely squandered the capacity of 985, including on prepaid boxes. At one time, MegaFon 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: he came to the salon with his phone, the salon employee dialed the landline number, having heard the answer, he made a connection to a completely matching number in the 925 code. I don’t know how many owners of landline numbers MegaFon managed to lure away, but the idea was beautiful.

About the contract and free testing

They offer to “drive” all services and evaluate the quality within five days after activating the SIM card.

100 minutes, 100 SMS messages and 1 GB of traffic is quite a sufficient package for free testing if you have not used MTS services before. After the conclusion of the contract, you will pay the bill for mobile communications along with the bill for the MGTS landline phone, that is, on credit. Also a significant plus and additional convenience.

About the tariff

Technically, the Smart for Friends tariff is almost the same as the previous version of MTS Smart for Friends. 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 calls to MTS phones throughout Russia are activated and, importantly, unlimited calls to all MGTS landline phones.

The “Smart for their own” tariff was recently improved by MTS (600 minutes / SMS and 10 GB of traffic), but in the MGTS version there is an unlimited number of calls to most city phones in Moscow. And for the MTS version, you will have to pay a considerable amount of money for the connection (they sell codes for the transition), and they can also deceive. And, of course, you won't get any matching phone numbers.

In my opinion, 200 rubles. per month at the present time - absolutely not the money, for the sake of saving which it would be worth abandoning the proposed "grocery set" and additional benefits. Unless, of course, you intend to continue using the city telephone MGTS. And certainly this option is much more interesting than those MGTS mobile tariffs that the company officially offers on its website.

How to connect?

As far as I understand, the correct answer is - on your own initiative in any way. Just wait for an offer with a SIM card in the envelope of a monthly bill from MGTS. If you are lucky, you will be able to take advantage of this offer, if they do not send it, then this is your fate. It would be interesting to learn about the scale and prospects of the project, but they are unlikely to tell us. Perhaps something will become clear later or the format of the proposal will be corrected.

It is clear that MGTS will thus acquire a certain number of mobile subscribers. Yes, and refuse a landline phone, someone will change their mind in the presence of such a bunch. If you start adding up the numbers, then the combination of a landline phone + “Smart for your own” will cost less than the usual SMART tariff with worse parameters.
