Mobile Internet mts in roaming. MTS roaming in Russia: description and connection

We are used to permanent access on the Internet so much that we do not want to refuse it in any situations. Even if we are traveling, it is more convenient to always stay online in order to be able to check the most up-to-date weather information, make a walking route, write a message to friends or just upload a photo to Instagram. This can help you Mobile Internet on a tablet or smartphone.

How to stay online?

Let's start with the fact that you can work with the Internet different ways- both free and those that require a fee. It all depends on what you expect when connecting to the Internet. Tasks are different depending on the duration of your connection, its regularity, the amount of data transferred. For example, going to VK and sending a couple of messages cannot be compared with downloading a movie using Torrent. Therefore, you need to take this into account when looking for the Internet abroad.

MTS, for example, is a leader in mobile roaming connectivity. Therefore, we will talk about this company in today's article, talking about the Internet for mobile devices. True, the cost of such a connection is quite high. In the meantime, consider other options for how to stay online. Some of them, by the way, absolutely do not require any payment.

Free WiFi hotspots

If you are traveling abroad, you can safely rely on open Wi-Fi networks. They can be found near some cafes, restaurants, hotels, train stations, airports and other crowded places. If we talk about European countries, then it is very easy to find a point for accessing the Internet there. USA, Canada and other developed ones are the same.

Coverage open WiFi networks is quite wide, so it will most likely satisfy your needs without any fee. If you need the connection to be permanently present in your device, then you should pay attention to paid services. For example, the same wireless connection networks from the MTS operator. They are located in many countries, so where you go, you are likely to find them.

Paid Wi-Fi from MTS

Let's start with the fact that we will report the price of connection and use of services - this is 40 rubles for each hour of access. You can't say it's cheap. In fact, the cost of services is quite high, even considering the comfortable conditions for the user and the flexible settings of the tariff plan. By the way, nothing is reported about him on the company's website.

But it is known that the MTS network has 800 Internet access points around the world. Everyone has one password and login, which will be provided to you as a subscriber of the service. Access points are located anywhere - in various entertainment venues, at transport infrastructure facilities, in tourist congestion places.

How to connect Wi-Fi?

Connecting to the MTS Wi-Fi service is very simple. You need to send a message that includes the word pass to short number 1106, specially allocated by the company. In a response message, you will receive the login under which you were registered in the system, as well as a password (this will be the network access key).

The 40 rubles mentioned above for an hour's Internet access abroad can be written off by MTS in two ways. The first is a withdrawal from the user's subscriber account, the second is payment using bank card. It is noteworthy that anyone can use this service, regardless of whether he is connected to the MTS or not.

The advantage of this kind of Wi-Fi from MTS is unlimited Internet abroad - will allow you to download movies at high speed or, for example, upload archives with photos. This is necessary to free up space or gain access to entertainment media content.

How to set up Wi-Fi?

MTS makes it very easy to set up the Internet abroad. Since the subscriber of the service receives a password and login on his mobile, all he needs to connect is to enter these data. Unfortunately, no one will be able to transfer them - the system does not authorize a second device with the same parameters. Therefore, if you would like to share one key with friends, you will be disappointed.

But the advantage of such a connection lies in the absolute simplicity and speed. No need to think about whether your phone will pick up the signal or not. You can be absolutely sure that Wi-Fi is a stable high-speed connection that gives great opportunities to your tablet, smartphone or laptop even when traveling.

Mobile Internet and its advantages

However, there are situations when we do not have the opportunity to enter from a stationary point wireless internet. For example, we are traveling across the country, away from Wi-Fi routers, but need to check the route through online maps. Of course, for such needs, only suitable mobile connection. It is provided, for example, by MTS. Roaming (Internet) abroad will cost more than within the country, but the quality of the service will remain quite high. You don't have to worry about connection speed. The main thing is to choose the tariff with which you would like to interact and set it up correctly.

Internet tariffs from MTS

Total mobile operator There are three packages that are beneficial for using Internet services. They are called "BIT abroad", " Super BIT Abroad”, as well as “Maxi BIT Abroad”. Connection, working conditions, as well as restrictions for each of the specified tariff plans differ from each other. We will describe each of these tariffs in more detail in this article.

"BIT Abroad"

by the most simple option connect MTS Internet abroad (reviews indicate that it is the most profitable), is the activation of this tariff plan. It provides for a traffic volume of 30 megabytes per day at a cost of 300 rubles per day. This quota applies, according to the terms of service, to the countries of Europe, the CIS, the USA, Canada, China, Turkey and some other states popular for the domestic subscriber. If the user of the service enters the territory of other countries (or is somewhere on the high seas), the amount of data is reduced to 5 megabytes, and the cost increases to 1200 rubles per day. If you are planning to travel to another state, it is obviously unprofitable to use the service offered by MTS (internet abroad).

You can find out how to connect the "BIT Abroad" tariff by going to the page on the company's website. It says that to activate you need to dial one of the commands: *111*2222# or *212#. In addition, you can activate the service using SMS message 2222 sent to number 111, as well as using the subscriber's online account. Charges only occur if the user connects to the network.

"Maxi BIT Abroad"

The second in terms of the volume of these tariff plans is the Maxi package. Its conditions are the same as those of the previous one, the only difference is how many megabytes at what price will be available to the subscriber. So, mobile Internet abroad (MTS "Maxi BIT") will cost 600 rubles per day for the first group of countries and 2200 rubles if the user leaves their borders. At the same time, a quota of 70 and 10 megabytes is given for spending, respectively. The connection is made using the command *111*2223# or by sending a message with the numbers 2223 to 111.

"Super BIT Abroad"

The third package tariff - "Super BIT" - is the most voluminous in terms of the provided traffic. According to it, the Internet abroad (MTS is a service provider) will cost 1,500 rubles per day of use for a user from the listed countries, as well as 4,000 rubles for working on the network from the territory of other states. In this case, the amount of data is 200 and 20 megabytes, respectively.

You can connect this plan by sending a request *111*2224# or a message "2224" to number 111.

How to choose?

It is quite easy to choose a tariff plan with which you would be more comfortable working. Immediately you need to decide on the purpose of activating the service from MTS. Connecting the Internet abroad is quite simple, we have already written about it; Another thing is the expediency of such costs. The cost of the third tariff plan is colossal. Most likely, you will be able to save money by choosing an alternative source of network access. Therefore, we pay attention to why you need a connection on a tablet or smartphone. Most often, the MTS roaming service (Internet abroad) is taken for the simplest actions that are required away from fixed Wi-Fi networks: checking mail, social networks, weather or a navigator. For this, the minimum tariff will be quite enough - 30 megabytes per day. And its cost is adequate - 300 rubles.

If we talk about more voluminous plans, then they will even be suitable for performing some work tasks when connected from a laptop. However, is there any point in acquiring such expensive tariff plans? Wouldn't it be easier to look for fixed Internet in the area where you are going to connect to it? It would be more reasonable, because MTS has Internet abroad (tariffs that are provided for network connection from abroad) are too expensive.

As a last resort, if you really have circumstances when you need to upload a data file over the Internet, the volume of which exceeds 30 megabytes, and there is no civilization nearby, it is reasonable to connect to Maxi and Super. But you can choose between them purely according to the required amount of traffic.

If not enough?

On the website of the MTS operator (Internet abroad, the tariffs and conditions for its provision are described here) there is also information with guidance on what to do if the traffic allocated under the BIT tariffs, as well as BIT Super and BIT Maxi" is not enough for the user's work. The basic tariffs that are valid within the country (for example, MTS Tablet) do not provide Internet abroad, so you should not count on it.

In order not to go beyond the allocated quota and not spend a lot of money, the operator offers each subscriber special service. It's called "Turbo button". Its conditions are the same as the BIT plan (basic) - for 300 rubles per day, an additional 30 megabytes of traffic is provided. To activate this option on your phone, dial *111*485#. There is no need to deactivate the service, since its action will be terminated within a day after activation, and also in the event that the provided amount of traffic was eventually exhausted.

In addition to information about their tariff plans, MTS also provides users with information on how to use the Internet in roaming cheaper and more profitable.

For example, the operator recommends that you top up your account in advance for the amount that you expect to spend on communication. This will save you from troubles like the fact that on the way you will need to look for funds to replenish and spend your time on it. Even in MTS it is recommended to activate the service "On full trust". It allows you to use mobile communications even in cases where there are no funds left on your balance, thus “driving” it into a negative value. Again, this will allow you to talk right away, and pay for the services provided later.

Also, be careful with your settings. mobile phone. The operator recommends turning off automatic tuning operator, so that the user does not lose money from the account in this way if he was in the border zone, and the phone switched to roaming mode on its own.

Finally, while keeping an eye on the balance and the amount of data spent, pay attention to up-to-date information about how much data you have spent. Do not forget that these data are updated with a delay, because additional time is required for the balance to be provided by foreign telecom operators to MTS. For this reason, do not rush to resume a conversation or an online access session if you are not sure whether the provided data package was enough for you or not.

Many modern consumers are used to spending most of their time on the Internet, not imagining themselves without its endless opportunities for work and entertainment. Being abroad for various reasons, such subscribers feel uncomfortable - the cost of accessing the network on MTS is so high that even ordinary correspondence seems “golden”. To solve this problem, the BIT service was developed abroad by MTS. Today's article will tell you what it is and what its tariffing is.

Depending on the state of residence, 1 MB of network access can cost the user a tidy sum. Sometimes it's just easier to find an unpaid outlet WiFi access than go online through cellular network. But what to do when there is no unpaid point nearby, and you need to get into the world wide web right now. In such situations, the "BIT abroad" service will come to the rescue, which provides Internet traffic on the following conditions:

  • For a fee of 300 rubles per day, the subscriber will be provided with 30 Mb of traffic - the conditions are valid in Thailand, China, Egypt, Korea, Turkey, America, Canada, Georgia, Israel, Abkhazia and the United Arab Emirates.
  • For a fee of 1200 rubles, the subscriber will be provided with 5 MB per day - the conditions apply to all other countries of the world, ships and aircraft.

The costs are extremely high, but still more profitable than paying for each MB of access. After the allocated traffic is used up, the Internet connection will be blocked until the next day. So you need to spend it punctually. It is also advised to turn off all automatic software updates on your mobile gadget, which will reduce the consumption of MB. Behind additional fee you can order another one of the same access package. To do this, you need to dial the combination * 212 # on the cellular keyboard.

It includes three special offers for travelers to foreign countries. Let's consider them in more detail.

Option "BIT abroad"

The first option has the same name as the whole group. It provides unlimited internet in most popular destinations - Bulgaria, India, Canada, Kazakhstan, Poland, UAE, Finland, Czech Republic, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Israel, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Thailand, Tajikistan, Turkey, France, Montenegro, Switzerland, Abkhazia, Great Britain, Greece, Germany, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, USA and some other countries (let's call them the first group). The first 100 Mb per day is available at maximum speed, then the limit is up to 128 kbps. The subscription fee is 450 rubles / day.

In countries such as Azerbaijan, Denmark, Uzbekistan, Morocco, Moldova, Gibraltar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Faroe Islands, as well as the Isle of Man and Guernsey (let's call them the second group), the daily limit is only 30 MB. The subscription fee is 550 rubles/day. In all other countries (the third group), the Internet traffic limit is only 5 Mb, with a monthly fee of 1300 rubles / day.

The fourth group includes such countries as Maldives, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Guyana, Bolivia, Bhutan, Venezuela, Jamaica, Chad, Mauritania, Nepal, Macau, Madagascar, Lebanon, Guadeloupe, Iceland, Guame, Ivory Coast, Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania, Cape Verde, Trinidad and Tobago. Here the limit is quite tiny - 1 MB for 1500 rubles / day. Similar conditions apply in roaming on airplanes and ships.

To connect "BIT Abroad" from MTS, dial the USSD command *111*2222# or look into your personal account. The subscription fee is charged upon access to the Internet. If there was no access to the network in the current day, the money remains in place.

To connect and disconnect, use personal account MTS or USSD command *111*2224#.

Traffic extension

The service "BIT abroad" from MTS (or rather, an option) offers relatively favorable conditions for accessing the Internet in the territories of foreign countries. If you do not want to spend a lot of money, save traffic or use public hotspots. But remember that free wifi(as well as paid) is extremely rare in undeveloped countries.

If you need a real foreign unlimited, use the option "Super BIT abroad". Here MTS provides unlimited traffic without any restrictions. Such conditions are beneficial for the most active subscribers and business people who have no time to follow the limits. True, when providing a serious load on guest networks, they have the right to slightly limit the speed - you can’t get away from this. Therefore, downloading torrents and movies will not work. But for surfing, mail, working with documents and social networks, this is quite enough.

If necessary, the traffic limit can be increased in the following ways:

  • Reconnecting the used option.
  • Downgrading to an older version.
  • By connecting the option "Turbo button abroad".

You can choose almost any available option.

Almost - because the latter option has serious drawbacks. "Turbo button abroad" provides only 30 Mb of traffic, and in a limited number of countries - this is all of Europe, except for Iceland and Andorra, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, Tunisia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Israel, Canada, Thailand, UAE, Georgia, Egypt, China (except Macau), Turkey, Morocco, Abkhazia and USA. In other countries, as well as in satellite networks, on ships and aircraft, it does not turn on.

"Turbo button abroad" from MTS is activated via the USSD command *111*485#. Its cost is 450 rubles. It is compatible with all tariff plans and options.

If you are tired of your operator

Guys, we know perfectly well that operators raise prices and force subscribers to connect services that the latter do not want to use. Fortunately, now there is a great opportunity to go to another operator with your number. There are virtual operators that provide very good rates and cool buns when transferring a number. One of them is Tinkoff Mobile, which is increasingly chosen by visitors to our site.

Before you go with an MTS SIM card to another country on a business trip or just on vacation, you need to find out which operator services will allow you to pay less in international roaming. The cost of calls without connecting any services is quite impressive, so even services that have a high subscription fee will save money.

This service is activated only on tariff plans of the "Smart Business" line and allows you to make incoming calls free of charge, regardless of where the subscriber is located in the world. Here are the limitations to mention:

  • Only the first 10 minutes of the call are free. After 10 minutes, you can reset and start the conversation again. The 11th and subsequent minutes are charged at 16 rubles.
  • The "Whole World" service does not work when the subscriber stays in such countries as Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and South Ossetia.
