How to disable the Smart tariff on MTS?

Date: 04 Sep 2018

"Smart" - the first representative of the already rather old line of MTS Smart tariffs. On September 4, 2018, the mobile operator MTS updated the Smart tariff plan in all regions of Russia.

Old versions of the tariff were sent to the archive. In Moscow and the region, the tariff with a minimum monthly fee - Smart mini, which in other regions has long been closed for connections, has also sunk into oblivion.

The new Smart has turned out to be a kind of hybrid of Smart and Smart Mini, and MTS itself calls the tariff “starter” - with minimal packages of minutes, SMS and Internet. Well, let's look at the parameters of the updated Smart using the example of Moscow and the region.

Basic parameters of the Smart tariff for Moscow and the region

  • The subscription fee is 400 rubles per month. Daily billing - 17.5 rubles per day (if there are not enough funds on the account for the monthly subscription fee)
  • A package of minutes - 200 for calls to all Russian networks. The package of minutes itself is very small, but you can call the numbers of any operators in any region.
  • SMS package - 200 to numbers of the home region
  • Mobile Internet package - 4 GB. If the traffic runs out, additional mobile Internet packages are automatically connected - 500 MB for 95 rubles.
  • Outgoing calls to MTS Russia numbers after the end of the package of minutes are free.
  • Outgoing calls to numbers of other operators in the home region - 3 rubles per minute, numbers of other operators in other regions - 5 rubles per minute.
  • SMS to home region numbers after the end of the SMS package - 2 rubles per message.
  • SMS to numbers in other regions - 3.8 rubles per message.

Let's compare the new Smart with the tariffs that were sent to the archive on September 4, 2018 - with the old Smart and Smart Mini

Parameter New Smart Old Smart Smart Mini
Subscription fee 400 rubles per month 500 rubles per month 400 rubles per month
Minutes package 200 minutes 550 minutes 350 minutes
Direction To all networks in Russia To all networks in Russia Home region and MTS of Russia
SMS package 200 sms 550 SMS 350 sms
Direction Home region Home region Home region
Mobile Internet 4 GB 5 GB 2 GB

The subscription fee for the new Smart is the same as for the Smart Mini. And this, of course, is good. The cheaper the better.

The number of minutes in the package is only 200. And this is almost 2 times less than on Smart Mini, and almost 3 times less than on the previous Smart. And this is, to put it mildly, very weak. Minutes from the package are spent on all networks in Russia, as was the case with the previous Smart. Smart Mini in this case is clearly a loser.

SMS package - 200. I do not consider a large number of SMS to be a prerequisite for modern tariffs, but there are fewer of them than on old Smart and Smart Mini - in the same ratio as in the history of minute packages. At all tariffs, the SMS package implies sending messages only to numbers in the home region.

Mobile Internet package - 4 GB. This is less than the Smart (5GB) and more than the Smart Mini (2GB).

In addition, we can say that after the end of the package of minutes, calls to the numbers of all operators in the home region except MTS on the new Smart - 3 rubles per minute. On old tariffs - 2 rubles per minute.

Personal opinion

I like the new Smart tariff less than its old version. Definitely. Yes, it is 100 rubles cheaper, but the minutes are 2.75 times less. The same applies to SMS. 1 GB less mobile Internet.

In some regions, the Smart tariff significantly overestimated the mobile Internet package, but this was also true for the old version of Smart. For example, here are the parameters for the Lipetsk region:

Basic parameters of the Smart tariff for the Lipetsk region

A detailed comparison with the Moscow version, I think, is unnecessary. Everything is clear anyway ... The feasibility of the updated Smart tariff depends entirely on the region and other tariffs in the same region.

Update migration

In some regions of Russia, MTS decided to postpone the tariff update and postponed it to September 18, 2018

For active clients who are constantly in touch, the “Smart” tariff has been created. Tariff with large packages of calls, SMS and traffic. And all this at an affordable price.

Are you looking for a tariff with unlimited calls and the Internet? We would like to draw your attention to the “Smart” tariff plan from MTS. It is included in the line of MTS Smart tariffs and is the cheapest after the Smart Mini TP. At the same time, Smart offers a wide range of services.

In this review we will consider all aspects of the Smart tariff. Let's describe its characteristic features, pros, and hidden cons. Thanks to this, you can understand whether this tariff suits you or not.

Description of the tariff plan "Smart" MTS

The "Smart" tariff is ideal for active clients who often use both communication services and the Internet. The monthly cost of the tariff plan is 400 rubles for Moscow and the Moscow region and 300 rubles for other regions of our country.

The subscription fee is not too high, even quite democratic. What has MTS prepared for us for such a sum? What to do if service packages are not enough for a month? Let's try to answer these questions.

The "Smart" tariff plan offers:

  • 4 GB of Internet traffic for subscribers from Moscow and Moskovskaya and subscribers from regions
  • Free calls within the network both at home and while traveling around the country (after the package of minutes has been exhausted)
  • 200 minutes of communication with subscribers of other operators in your region and MTS subscribers in the country
  • 200 SMS for communication both within the region and beyond.

On the MTS website, you cannot immediately find all the information about the tariff plan. It is available only after downloading a special file: it is available on the tariff page. In addition to prices for additional services, a lot of different information is given there, since each tariff implies its own disadvantages. But let's go in order. First, we will consider the prices for communication services within the packages, and later we will move on to discussing secret conditions.

Payment for communication services of the "Smart" tariff from MTS

If every month you spend significantly more of these packages that Smart offers, it is better to choose a more suitable TP. However, there is a way to "expand" packages in the event of their rapid exhaustion. More on this below.

Expert opinion

Vladimir Eremeev

Journalist. Specialist in mobile services and tariffs of mobile operators.

So it turned out that you used more than 4 GB of the Internet, spent more than 200 minutes on calls, or sent more than 200 SMS? It is possible to renew the tariff by paying an additional fee.

Only calls to MTS subscribers will remain free for you. For a call to phones served by third-party operators, and sending SMS, funds will be debited. You will also need to pay extra for extending Internet traffic.

Also, not all services of the Smart line are included in the tariffs. This can also lead to spending in excess of the monthly fee. To avoid misunderstandings, it is important to carefully read all the information on the additional fee. We have collected it specifically for your convenience.

Cost of services over the package of minutes:

  • Upon exhaustion of the package of minutes (200 minutes), one minute of conversation with the user of another operator within the region - 3 rubles
  • SMS 2 rubles 20 kopecks per item
  • Calls outside your region to other mobile operators - 5 rubles per minute
  • Communication with subscribers of the CIS countries - 35 rubles per minute
  • Communication with subscribers of European countries - 49 rubles per minute
  • Communication with residents of other countries - 70 rubles per minute.

Payment for services in excess of Internet traffic:

  • After you have used up all the traffic provided, an additional service of 500 MB for 95 rubles will automatically be activated.

Payment for services in excess of the SMS package:

  • Sending SMS within your region - 2.20 rubles per SMS
  • Sending SMS to other regions and while traveling around the country - 3 rubles per SMS
  • Sending SMS to international numbers - 8 rubles per SMS

You can keep track of how many minutes, SMS and gigabytes of Internet traffic are left for later use on the MTS website.

  5. If you are in the northern regions of the country, then the Internet speed will be reduced to 128 Kbps.
  6. When the subscriber's balance drops to zero, incoming calls and receiving SMS from other subscribers will be available for another 2 months. He can also make outgoing calls to MTS numbers.

After 2 months, in the absence of replenishment of the balance, the actions of these services are canceled.
  7. If within 61 days the subscriber does not top up the balance, then his contract with MTS will be terminated unilaterally.

The tariff plan provides for a monthly fee of 450 rubles for Moscow and the Moscow region and 300 rubles per month for the rest of Russia. We will not explain why subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow Region have to pay more, we believe everyone already knows the answer.

Considering the current prices, we can conclude that the tariff from MTS Smart is really not expensive, but what does the subscriber get for this fee? Will the tariff be beneficial or will active subscribers have to regularly pay extra for additional packages of minutes, SMS and Internet? Let's figure it out.

Only calls to MTS numbers will be completely unlimited. Calls to numbers of other operators, additional SMS and megabytes will be charged.

Not all information about the tariff is presented on the official website of MTS. Detailed information on prices is available only after downloading a separate file. In addition to prices, you can find a lot of other interesting information in it. Each tariff plan assumes the presence of hidden conditions and the Smart MTS tariff is no exception. We suggest that you first familiarize yourself with the prices for communication services within the Smart tariff, and then move on to discuss the hidden conditions.

The cost of communication services at the Smart MTS tariff

The Smart tariff plan provides for various rather large packages of minutes, SMS and Internet, but this is not enough for all subscribers and sometimes additional costs cannot be avoided. Of course, you can connect another tariff, but even this does not guarantee you the absence of additional costs. Not all communication services are included in the tariffs of the Smart line, so sometimes expenses are inevitable. In order not to be surprised later at incomprehensible write-offs, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the detailed information about the prices provided by the Smart MTS tariff.

The Smart tariff provides the following rates:

  • After 500 minutes a month, the cost of one minute of communication with a subscriber of another network within the home region will be 2 rubles;
  • Calls to numbers of other operators outside the home region will cost 5 rubles per minute;
  • Calls to CIS countries - 35 rubles per minute;
  • Calls to European countries - 49 rubles per minute;
  • Calls to other countries - 70 rubles;
  • After the Internet traffic package is exhausted, an additional 500 MB package is connected for 75 rubles;
  • SMS to mobiles in the home region after the package is exhausted - 1 ruble;
  • SMS to mobile phones in other regions of Russia at home and on trips across Russia - 3, 80 rubles;
  • SMS to mobile international operators - 5, 25 rubles;
  • MMS to mobile Russian operators - 6, 50 rubles.

Disadvantages of the Smart MTS tariff


The Smart MTS tariff provides good conditions, but do not forget that each tariff plan has its own disadvantages. On the official website of MTS, only the positive aspects of the Smart tariff are described, while there is no information about its characteristic shortcomings. The hidden conditions for the tariff can be found in the document with a detailed description of the tariff plan, which can be downloaded on the MTS website or here.

If you have no desire to independently search for hidden conditions in this document, then the information below will be useful to you. We have carefully studied the MTS Smart tariff and revealed all the hidden conditions. Which of them are significant and which are not, is up to you.

The Smart MTS tariff has the following disadvantages:

  1. The package of minutes available within the tariff for calls to numbers of other operators (500 minutes in most regions) is spent not only when communicating with subscribers of other networks, but also when making calls to MTS numbers outside the home region. After the package is exhausted, calls to MTS Russia will still remain free, but you will have to pay for communication with subscribers of other networks.
  2. If you have recently changed your tariff, then you will have to pay extra for switching to Smart. In addition to paying a subscription fee, another 200 rubles will be removed from the account.
  3. Smart tariff cannot be used in modems or routers. If you insert a SIM card with a tariff into the modem, you will not be able to fully use the Internet. The speed will be limited to the lowest possible value. Given the size of the Internet traffic package, it is difficult to call this disadvantage significant, but you should be aware of this limitation.
  4. After the monthly Internet package provided at the tariff has been exhausted, the subscriber will automatically be connected to additional Internet packages within the "Additional Smart Internet" option until the basic package is renewed at the tariff. The volume of the additional package is 500 MB and will cost you 75 rubles.
  5. When in the Sakhalin Oblast, Norilsk, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Kamchatka Krai, Magadan Oblast and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the speed within the included 3 GB volume is limited to 128 Kbit / s.
  6. If the subscriber's balance becomes equal to or below zero (but not less than minus 300 rubles), then within the next 61 days he will only have access to incoming calls, receiving SMS and calls to MTS service numbers. In this case, during the specified period, the service of the group "Unlimited call forwarding from direct number" / "Sovintel service" / "TCC service" is charged off in full. If after this period your balance does not exceed the value of 0.01 rubles, the possibility of receiving these services is terminated.
  7.
