Internet options of MTS “BIT abroad. MTS roaming tariffs abroad

People use the Internet almost every day, most of them are subscribers of the cellular operator MTS. The company treats its customers with care and attention, so it provides profitable services for every case.

You will be able to freely use the network, even if you are outside the Russian Federation. To do this, just activate the “BIT abroad” option - it is available in almost all areas of land, but the cost varies depending on the exact location.

When you return to Russia, the service can be easily disabled - this will not cause any problems. Let's look at the description of the options with which you can get “Bit Without Borders” from MTS.

In cases where, when connecting to a tariff, the subscriber does not use the mobile network (not even once), the subscriber’s fee is not debited from the subscriber’s account.

What is the service

This option is designed specifically for those who want to remain an MTS subscriber even outside the country, but wireless Internet services and a mobile network are not suitable for them. When connected, you receive unlimited traffic. You will need to pay four hundred and fifty rubles for this (daily) - depending on where you are in a particular place, the price may vary. In which countries does it operate:

Italy;
Greece;
Germany;
Great Britain;
Romania and others.

In general, there are a lot of countries, the range of action is very wide. To find out more, go to the company’s official website or ask questions to the MTS operator.

The first hundred megabytes are high-speed Internet, and then it’s 128 kbits per second.

Residents of Belarus can get fifty megabytes for three hundred rubles a day; in other countries prices are higher. In the region of Croatia, China, Estonia, etc. - for three hundred eighty rubles.

Of course, the cost is not the cheapest, but these conditions are several times more profitable than in the case of paying for each megabyte when using a mobile network. If you want to save traffic and spend it so that fifty megabytes is enough for you, it is better to disable auto-updates of applications on your device for a while, you can also turn off advertising.

How to activate the service

If you have already used it during the day and you do not have enough funds, just dial the short command *212# and press the call button.

If you are going to use the option for the first time, you will need to use one of the following methods:

Enter the USSD command *111*2222# and click on call.
Use SMS: send a message to number 111 with the text “2222”. No funds are charged from the account for this (for SMS).

If you want to disable it, you need to specify the same request (in the first option) or send a message to 111 with the text “22220” - no need to type quotes.

Keep in mind that during the day the operator understands the time period from twelve o'clock at night to the next 00:00 - time, of course, Moscow. So the network will work during this period.

Who is this service suitable for?

If you are one of those who constantly need access to the Network and consume a lot of traffic, this “Maxi BIT Abroad” is a good alternative for you. When you connect to the service, you get unlimited access; you will need to pay seven hundred rubles for this (payment daily).

The first two hundred megabytes are excellent Internet, in which even watching videos and photos does not cause any difficulties. Then the speed decreases to 128 kbit per second.

If you are going to use “Maxi BIT abroad” within Belarus, you will receive one hundred megabytes for seven hundred rubles, if in the region of China, Estonia, Kyrgyzstan, etc. - seventy megabytes for seven hundred rubles.

How to connect and disconnect

If you want to use the “Maxi BIT abroad” tariff, use one of the following methods:

Call by dialing *111*2223# (to disconnect, use the same command).
Send an SMS to 111 and indicate “2223” in the text of the message - the SMS is free.

You can also turn off the option by sending a message to 111 “22230”.

You should not rush to connect this or that service - it is better to weigh all the pros and cons in advance. Perhaps in your case such conditions will not be profitable. Remember that you will have the means to access the network from twelve o’clock at night until the next 00:00 - after which all remaining megabytes will “burn out”.

Another interesting service

“Super BIT Abroad” will appeal to those who use huge amounts of traffic. This is especially true for people who work on the Internet, often download applications, watch videos and images. For those who limit themselves to modest communication on social networks and obtaining information through search engines, this option is unlikely to be relevant.

With it, you get unlimited traffic for just one thousand six hundred rubles. You can find out whether this service applies to the country in which you will be at the time you activate the option by calling MTS operators.

How to connect correctly, is it difficult to disable the option?

If you want to use this service or simply disable it, dial the request 111*2224# and press the call button.
The same results can be achieved if you carry out actions through free messages. To connect, you need to send SMS “2224” to number 111. To disconnect, send “22240” to the same number.

Is it possible to do all these steps using your personal account?

This is one of the most comfortable options. Every MTS subscriber should have a personal account - with its help you can make details, monitor connected services, check the balance, transfer funds from one account to another and much more.

You can get into it through the official website of the mobile operator - you need to log in and that’s it.

If you are going to go abroad and want to check whether you have successfully connected certain options, you need to use one of the following services:

Easy roaming and international access";
“International and national roaming” and “International access”;

You can do this directly in your personal account. If you cannot do this, the option simply does not work, or it is difficult for you to figure out what to do, and it is difficult to decide on the choice of the option that will be most beneficial in your case, do not despair - contact the company’s managers, they are obliged to provide you with a comprehensive consultation. Assistance to subscribers is provided free of charge, so you don’t have to pay for it.

After arriving home, do not forget to disconnect from tariffs - you can check whether you have done this in your personal account in the services section.

International roaming is exactly the service from MTS that will allow you to use communication services after the Russian border has been crossed and you are in the territory of another state. Meanwhile, despite this convenience, it has one significant drawback, which is its high cost. The current rates for roaming from MTS depend on the country in which you will be, for example, a minute call from Denmark may be cheaper compared to a call from Italy.

In this review, we will tell you in detail about international roaming from MTS, introduce you to the most popular destinations and present the current prices for communications in a particular country.

Attention! The tariff plan you are on does not affect the cost of a minute of conversation in any way if roaming is used. Prices for this service are the same for everyone.

International roaming from MTS in European countries

When determining current tariffs, in this case, the country of residence of the subscriber plays a huge role. If you decide to visit Germany by activating roaming, the prices will be as follows (in rubles):

Minute of incoming calls – 85;
Minute of outgoing calls to Russia – 85;
Minute of outgoing calls within Germany – 85;
Minute of outgoing calls around the world – 135;
Sending SMS – 19.

The same cost for communication services, if roaming is activated, will remain the same when visiting Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, etc.

You will have to pay 65 rubles per minute of an incoming call, an outgoing call to the Russian Federation or to local numbers, as well as 135 rubles per minute of international calls while in the following areas:

Greece;
Hungary;
Moldova;
Principality of Monaco;
Italy;
Gibraltar.

If you activate international roaming from MTS before visiting a Turkish resort or Barcelona (Spain), the prices will be different. A one-minute call to your home country or country of residence will cost 60 rubles, and internationally – 135 rubles.

Roaming from MTS: cost in other countries

Taking into account the fact that there is no uniformity of tariffs in the described situation, the current prices vary noticeably: in some places they are high, and in others they are quite moderate. 25 rubles per minute of conversation within the host country or to Russia and 135 rubles per minute of outgoing call to any other country in the world will have to be paid by those who will use MTS services in Lithuania, Latvia, Norway and Sweden. When visiting Bulgaria, the cost per minute (with the exception of international calls) will be 30 rubles, and while in Denmark, you can communicate at a price of 35 rubles per minute if you do not call other countries of the world.

If you go on a long journey by activating international roaming from MTS, then each call will have a significant impact on the state of your personal account, because it will not be cheap. The current tariffs are as follows (RUB/min):

250 (all directions) – Mexico, Cuba, Maldives, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles.
155 (all directions) – Chile, Australia, El Salvador, Cook Islands;
115 (without international outgoing) – Malta.

As you can see, the crossed Russian border in terms of prices for MTS mobile communication services is a serious reason for their significant increase. In some cases, a call will truly be worth its weight in gold.

Roaming from MTS: Georgia, Abkhazia, Azerbaijan and CIS countries

Oddly enough, here too there is no uniformity in communication tariffs. Let's say, if you decide to go to Kazakhstan, then the cost of a minute of an outgoing call in Russia or within the country will be 85 rubles, and a minute call to any other country will cost 135 rubles. If the border of Tajikistan is crossed, an outgoing call to your homeland or to local numbers lasting one minute will cause 45 rubles to be debited from your account, and if you need to call someone who is in another country in the world, say, Germany, then the price will increase to 135 rubles.

Did you activate international roaming from MTS before visiting Kyrgyzstan? Then you can communicate on its territory at a price of 65 rubles per minute, calling to Russian numbers and numbers of local operators, and a minute call around the world will cost you 135 rubles. If the border with Georgia is crossed and roaming is available to you, then the tariffs are as follows (the price per minute is indicated in rubles):

Russia and local numbers – 115;
Incoming calls – 115;
Worldwide – 135.

Communication from MTS will be very expensive for those who travel to Abkhazia, because the cost of a minute, regardless of the chosen direction, will be 155 rubles. In South Ossetia, the border of which you may cross, roaming has the following rates (in rubles):

Incoming calls (min) – 17;
Outgoing calls (Russia/min) – 17;
Outgoing calls (South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Georgia, CIS countries/min) – 38;
Outgoing calls (world/min) – 129;
Outgoing SMS (piece) – 4.5.

Attention! Despite the differences in call costs, the price for sending text messages around the world when using a service such as roaming from MTS is 19 rubles.

Roaming from MTS: cost of mobile Internet

Unfortunately, crossing the state border is the basis for increasing communication tariffs if you use roaming. In such a situation, the subscriber is faced not only with very expensive calls, but also with the Internet. If you need a connection to the World Wide Web, then in order to save money, it is wiser to purchase a SIM from some local operator, because for just 40 KB of information transmitted or received from MTS you will have to pay 30 rubles. Roaming for Internet users is clearly unprofitable.

Attention! To reduce your own costs, take advantage of additional services, which you can easily find out about when you visit the official website of the mobile operator. There you will also find all the important information about roaming in a particular country in the world.

The Internet has become almost a necessity in human life. MTS offers several ways to connect it even when the subscriber is outside Russia.

You need to choose a tariff carefully, because the convenience of accessing the Internet and spending money on it depends on it.

First of all, decide why you need the Internet. If you need it to communicate on social networks and send small images, a small amount of traffic will suit you. Those who often download movies, TV series, photos and communicate in video chats need to choose more expensive services, the traffic should be:

volumetric;
high-speed (otherwise the download simply won’t happen).

MTS is a cellular operator that foresaw all sorts of situations and offered several solutions to subscribers located outside the Russian Federation, but among the solutions provided it is still difficult to find Internet without restrictions. Let's look at them.

Wi-Fi from MTS - what is it?

Its cost is very high, forty rubles per hour, but it is very convenient to use. You will be able to download unlimited films and images, play online games, communicate with other Internet users and do much more.

Surprisingly, there is no information about this service at all on the official website of the mobile operator. Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is not in demand.

Is it difficult to connect

This is quite easy to do. You just need to send a short SMS to 1106, the text of which includes pass. After these steps, you will receive a message with the login under which your account has been successfully registered. Along with it, you will receive a password - it is the key to access the Internet.

Payment terms are comfortable. It can be reproduced using the following methods:

by debiting funds from the specified number;
by payment via bank card.

This way, anyone can receive traffic, not just a subscriber of a cellular operator. It is unlimited, works at high speed - of course, because its price is appropriate.

What you should know

This method is not suitable if several people want to use the network at once. The Internet speed would be good (because it is actually high), but there is simply no way to connect. Unfortunately, MTS does not allow you to use traffic from several devices at once. So if you wanted to pay for the service for yourself and friends/relatives, don’t delude yourself.

Setting up Wi-Fi is very simple - just literally enter your personal information: the unique password and login that you received after sending the SMS. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this. After a couple of minutes, you can already enjoy watching high-quality videos and chatting with friends.

Mobile Internet from MTS

Of course, not everyone is satisfied with such conditions for receiving services - some simply do not like the operating conditions of the device, while many are not satisfied with the amount of payment for services. In addition, a mobile connection is necessary in cases where a person often changes his location (for example, traveling around the cities of the country, etc.).

What can we say about MTS mobile Internet:

The connection quality is excellent;
connecting the device is easy;
There are many tariffs, so there is a suitable option for everyone.

Just be more careful when choosing a tariff plan so as not to overpay for traffic that in the end you hardly use.

What MTS offers

The company offers three beneficial services to its subscribers:

"BIT Abroad";
"Super BIT Abroad";
"Maxi BIT abroad."

Let's look at each of them in more detail below.

About the BIT option abroad

MTS offers high-quality Internet abroad; all you need to do is activate this service. Many subscribers also consider it the most profitable. In this case, you get thirty megabytes per day for three hundred rubles - it is available to those located within Europe, the CIS, the States, Canada, Turkey and other eastern countries, and many others.

To use this tariff, call *111*2222# or *212#. You can also connect it by sending an SMS to the short number 111, the text of the message should be “2222”. Funds will be debited from your account only if you use the Network; in other cases, payment will not be debited.

Maxi BIT abroad - cost and features

This tariff plan offers more traffic, but is less popular among subscribers. The cost can be from six hundred rubles per day and reach up to two thousand two hundred - the exact cost of services depends on which country you are in.

Connecting the option is easy. To do this, you just need to dial *111*2223# # and press the call button. If you want to achieve the same results using SMS, send a message to the short number 111 with the text “2223”.

Super BIT abroad - is it worth connecting?

It needs to be treated with special caution, because it is expensive, and the only difference from previous services is the most voluminous traffic. The price of using the Internet for a day will be one and a half thousand rubles, within certain countries it can reach up to four thousand rubles! The volume of traffic can range from two hundred to twenty megabytes.

If you are not on the Internet that often, you should not subscribe to this tariff - the remaining money at the end of the day will simply “burn out”. If you still decide to activate the service, dial *111*2224# and press the call button. You can also achieve these results by sending a message to 111 with message text 2224.

What MTS says

The company recommends turning off automatic operator setup, because this way you can easily spend money at the wrong time. The “In Full Trust” service is also useful - thanks to it you can use the Internet at any time, even when there is no money in your account.

This is one of the wide range of offers that includes both Internet services and tariff plans.

Description of service:

If you are in such popular countries as Thailand, UAE, Egypt, South Korea, Canada, Turkey, Israel, Abkhazia, China, Georgia, USA, then the cost for traffic will be 30 MB for 300 rubles. per day.
And in other countries, the tariff fee will be 5 MB for 1200 rubles. per day.

The price may seem unreasonably high, but it is much more profitable than paying for each megabyte separately.

"Maxi BIT Abroad"

If the traffic provided by the “BIT abroad” option turned out to be insufficient for you, then you can choose more traffic.

If you are in the countries listed earlier, as well as in all European and CIS countries, the cost of traffic will be 70 MB for 600 rubles. per day.

And when in other countries - 10 MB for 2,200 rubles. per day.

"Super BIT Abroad"

This option contains an even larger traffic package.

When located in the countries noted above, the cost of traffic will be 1,500 rubles. per day for 200 MB.

And in all other countries 4000 rubles. per day for 20 MB.

How to connect?

Send an SMS containing 2222 to number 111
Or dial the command *212# on the keyboard or *111*2222# and press the call key

Tariff "Maxi BIT abroad":

Connect in your Personal Account on the official MTS website

If you only need the Internet occasionally, this is a suitable option.

How to disable?

The option is disabled by re-dialing the combination corresponding to each option, or by sending an SMS with the same text, but with the addition of 0. Or the service will stop working as soon as you arrive in Russia, and will start working as soon as you cross the border of the Russian Federation.

If the traffic package ends prematurely, access will be limited until the next day.

Check whether your number has the services necessary for Internet and voice communications. Traffic is reset daily at 3:00 local time. To find out the remaining traffic, just dial *111*217#

If you travel abroad, you probably know that the cost of using the services of your operators automatically increases. You will be notified about this by an SMS message, which will indicate the prices for calls, Internet and SMS according to the terms of your tariff plan. All operators have special tariffs (roaming) for users abroad, and MTS is no exception.

If you think that when you go abroad, you will immediately get a good tariff for calls and everything else, then you are very mistaken. You need to choose in advance the appropriate tariff with its price for your needs. Now I will try to clarify as accurately as possible the essence of the Bit option abroad MTS. When you activate this option, you will switch to a fairly economical option (compared to the standard one), which will significantly reduce your costs while roaming.

There are the following types:

BIT abroad;
Super BIT abroad;
Maxi BIT abroad;

The main difference between these options is that you will be provided with different packages of megabytes of Internet and minutes of communication. I strongly advise you to pay attention to this moment!

Basic description of the “BIT abroad” option from MTS

Let's now find out what MTS bit tariffs are abroad, or rather, a more detailed description of them, since you can find the names above. As you probably guessed, Internet prices abroad will be quite high; France is a good example. If you went, say, to Paris, and wanted to connect to the network via MTS, then know that for every 40 kilobytes t of transmitted traffic. You will be required to pay an amount of 30 rubles, and this is quite a lot for a moment, considering how many kilobytes are in one megabyte. This pricing policy applies to most countries in which you will be roaming. But thanks to connecting this option, you get huge benefits and savings for your wallet.

The cheapest option "BIT abroad"

This item is suitable for those who want to use a little Internet traffic during their trip. Check your email, scroll through social networks, or write a couple of messages online.

Main advantages

Now let's move smoothly to the final part of the MTS “BIT abroad” option. As you already understood, when traveling to other countries, and if you use the Internet, then you will need to enable one of the above options. They differ only in the number of megabytes provided and the pricing policy. But, if you do not use the network, then you do not need to worry about choosing the option you need. And remember that it will be better if you block the use of the mobile network on your phone so as not to accidentally switch to active mode.

Below you can find a list of the most important conditions under which these options can be used.

You need to know that if you are connected to the “cool” or “caring” tariffs, then when you connect the “Bit Abroad” option, you will receive an error. You will have to change the tariff temporarily, otherwise you will not be able to use megabytes profitably abroad;
The fee will be charged not from the moment the option is activated, but from the subscriber’s actual access to the network outside of Russia;
An interesting feature is that if you used the Internet twice in a day, but in different countries (without spending daily megabytes), the fee will be charged in each country;
Different Bit Abroad options cannot be activated at the same time, that is, you will need to select only one that you think is beneficial for your use;
At midnight, the counter resets to zero, and if you have any unused megabytes left, they are burned;
You can enable and disable options several times a day, for example, if the traffic has run out, but you still need megabyte packages;
