Mts check if roaming is enabled. How to activate roaming in Russia on MTS? Recommendations for optimal use of Roaming from MTS

Subscribers are faced with a situation where they travel outside their region and need their communications with subscribers, mobile Internet and other services to be provided at an affordable price. To do this, MTS, like many other operators, allows you to connect to roaming and not worry about the high cost of communication. It is no secret that in the absence of connected roaming, the cost of communication increases several times.

What types of roaming exist in MTS?

If you decide to leave your home region, you should also consider whether you are leaving only this region or Russia. In order not to spend huge sums on communications, you must first activate roaming. There are two general types of roaming:

• International. Such roaming is simply necessary if you travel outside of Russia. Otherwise, a minute of an outgoing call may cost you 100-200 rubles or more. It can be connected both in Russia and upon arrival in another country.
• National. This type of roaming is worth using if you leave your home region, but do not leave the borders of Russia. Many people neglect this function and, as a result, spend about 10 rubles per minute making calls while outside the region where the SIM card was connected.

How to activate roaming on MTS

Every year, the MTS operator is increasingly improving its capabilities to provide comfortable communications outside the home region.

Connecting MTS international roaming

Any subscriber who meets the following conditions can use this service:

• Connected to MTS for at least 1 year.
• The subscriber tops up his account monthly. At the same time, the average amount for six months should not exceed 470 rubles.
• The subscriber must actively use the operator’s services during the previous six months.

To connect to this service, you can use a special USSD command. The sequence of actions will be as follows:

• Dial the command *111*, then enter the combination of numbers 2192 and then enter #.
• Click on the call button.

Connecting MTS roaming, which will operate within Russia

Only those subscribers who do not have any of the Smart unlimited tariffs need to use national roaming. For such subscribers, roaming will be free. For all other subscribers, it is possible to connect an option called “Everywhere at home.”

Connecting special MTS roaming options

Zero without limits

Connecting to this service is free, but the monthly subscription fee is 95 rubles. Before connecting it, you should make sure that you have the “International and National Roaming”, “Easy Roaming and International Access”, or “International Access” services connected. To activate the “Zero without Borders” service, you need to use the key combination *419*1233# and press the call button. When the service is activated, incoming calls in another country are charged after 11 minutes and will cost 25 rubles per minute. Outgoing calls to Russian numbers from another country are carried out according to a different scheme. From 1 and 6 minutes inclusive, the cost of the call will be calculated according to the roaming tariff plan in the host country. From 2 to 5 minutes the cost of a call will be 25 rubles per minute.

Easy roaming

To use this service, the subscriber will need to pay 250 rubles daily. This option is suitable for those who need to talk no more than an hour a day. In this case, the call will be free, after that - 10 rubles per minute. You can connect it by dialing *111*943# and pressing the call button.

Everywhere feels like home

The cost of this service is 30 rubles upon activation and subsequently 5 rubles per day. To activate this service, you must send the combination of numbers 3333 to 111. Payment for this service will be charged from the first day until the service is disconnected.

The above services can also be activated at the MTS office or in your Personal Account in the “Mobile Communications”, “Roaming and Intercity” section.

How to find out if MTS roaming is connected

Often, a subscriber needs to find out about the availability of connected roaming. To do this, you can use your personal account, an application on your smartphone, or the number combination *111#.

As you can see, MTS offers its subscribers a wide selection of methods for connecting to roaming. Thanks to any method you choose, you can communicate outside your home region at an affordable price and stay connected.

When leaving your home region, roaming conditions begin to apply. Mobile customers should remember this so as not to spend money on calls. In addition, roaming can be both foreign and national. This means that the cost may vary significantly. In order to optimize their expenses, each client must take care of activating roaming before leaving. Or don’t forget to activate it already abroad.

It is worth noting that in order to be able to make outgoing calls outside your home territory, you must activate services that allow you to use international access and roaming in general. To enable this function, MTS clients can use the combination * 111 * 2192 #.

First of all, it is worth noting that roaming is divided into two types:

1. International;
2. National.

They differ in that they operate in different territories. One is within Russia, the second is outside its borders. But to use voice calls, messaging, and other features, you must turn on accessibility features. It is also worth noting that a special service is provided for MTS basic tariffs. That is, when you travel abroad from your home network, roaming will be activated independently, and the tariff schedule will be standard, but to reduce the cost of communication, it is recommended to use a variety of MTS functions. They will be discussed below.

Roaming activation

As described above, in order to use mobile communications abroad, you need to activate the roaming functions and international access. Both functions are enabled simultaneously through the use of a special combination or in other ways:

1. The USSD combination looks like * 111 * 2192 #.
2. It is possible to enable functions through your personal account on the company website.
3. You can also activate roaming using the help of a service center.
4. Specialists from branded salons will always provide assistance with communications.

There are some restrictions on connecting such functions, which you should know before activating. If the starter package is used for less than six months, and less than 600 rubles were spent on communications during this period, then it will not be possible to connect to the service. In this situation, the only way out is to use an easy roaming service with international access. Activation of the service is possible by dialing the code * 111 * 2157 #. You also have the opportunity to enable the service by sending a text message to the short number 111. You must enter the numbers 2157 in the body of the letter. And of course, activation can be done through your personal account or by calling the MTS telecom operator.

Checking whether roaming is enabled

To make sure that roaming is activated on your phone, you need to use one of the following methods:

1. In your personal account on the MTS website, go to the “Service Management” tab, and then look at all the options that are activated.
2. It is also possible to clarify the information by calling the company’s hotline. To do this, dial the toll-free number 88002500890. If the MTS subscriber is located abroad, then the number to call the support service will be different. You should call +74957660166. Calls to this number are absolutely free.
3. Also, all subscribers, regardless of territory, can check how much calls, messages and other communication services provided will cost. To do this, you need to type the command * 111 * 33 #. This code can be used abroad and in Russia.

If the need for international roaming has already disappeared, then it is recommended to disable it. To do this, the easiest way is to use the help of MTS employees. That is, specialists from branded stores or call center operators can help. It’s also easier to disable it yourself through your personal account.

Special services

In addition to activating communications abroad using the methods described above, which work all over the world, you also need to optimize communication costs. To do this, you need to activate special services from the company that will save your phone balance while traveling.

To save funds in your account when traveling abroad, you should activate the “Zero without Borders” function. It can be enabled using the service code * 111 * 4444 #. Activation is also always available through your personal account or through the service center. Before activation, it is better to clarify information about the tariff schedule. This data is available for review on the company’s website or from your telecom operator.

Staying in touch with loved ones during business trips and trips abroad is just as important as when you are in your home region. Well-known mobile operators take care of their customers, offering favorable conditions for making calls and sending SMS while roaming. MTS provides users with economical tariffs. Let's get acquainted with their types, features and connection methods.

The operator offers several roaming connection options; the user can choose the most convenient and optimal one for himself:

1. personal account - you need to visit the official website of MTS, where you can activate the service using the Internet assistant. The advantage of this method is that you can activate roaming even while you are abroad. After activation is completed, it is recommended to reboot the device;

4. contacting support - the user needs to dial the short number 0890, after which he will be connected to an operator. If you are already abroad, you should call +7 495 7660166.

Terms and restrictions

It would seem that MTS roaming abroad is an open service available to any user. However, to activate it, the client must use the specified number for at least six months, and funds must be received into the account every month, and the minimum amount of receipts for six months must be at least 650 rubles.

The second option on how to enable roaming is to use the MTS contact number for a year. Funds should be credited to the account monthly, but the operator does not indicate a specific amount.

People who often travel to other cities always have many questions: “What things to take with them?”, “What is better to leave at home, and what can’t you do without in a particular region?” Today another very important question is being added to this list: “How to connect MTS roaming?” In this article we will tell you about several ways to carry out this operation.

What is roaming?

Roaming is a service that mobile operators provide to their users when they cross their home region. There is even GPRS roaming, thanks to which you can use the Internet in other areas and countries.

Roaming services abroad

Of course, MTS mobile communication services are provided throughout the country and the world, so when traveling around the world, you can always stay in touch. However, when you go somewhere, you should know that the prices for calls, messages and the Internet increase several times. Since it is very easy to connect MTS roaming, you can do it yourself at any time you need. If you are going abroad, then an excellent solution for you would be to choose services such as “National and international roaming”. With their help, you can not only answer or make calls, receive or send messages, but also use the Internet. But the services called “Easy Roaming and International Access” include only outgoing and incoming messages and calls.

How to connect these services

How to activate MTS roaming? You can do it in a communication salon, just by contacting there. But you can also do this yourself using the Mobile Portal. By the way, if problems arise, you can contact the Internet Assistant. If you do not want to use the Internet for this, then simply dial the following combination on your phone: to connect “International or national roaming” *111*2192#, and for “International access” - *111*2193#.

Connection features

The “Easy Roaming” and “International Access” services can be activated by absolutely any client, but the rest are available only to those who activated their SIM card at least six months ago, and the average amount of charges during this time was more than 650 rubles. If these conditions are not met, then the number must be used for a year, since it is impossible to connect MTS roaming otherwise.

“Everywhere is like home”

The “Like Home Everywhere” service is the most convenient in terms of payments when leaving your region to any other country. When connected, incoming messages and calls are completely free, but the cost of outgoing calls to numbers of any operators in other cities is 3 rubles per minute. The daily fee for using this option is 3 rubles. You can connect “Everywhere is like home” by dialing the combination *111*3333# and clicking on “call” or by logging into your personal account on the official website. Here, following the instructions, you can activate this service on your number. The cost of connection is 30 rubles, and disconnection is free. By the way, if you are a member of the MTS Bonus program, then you can activate this service using points, which must be at least 300.

How to disable roaming on MTS

You can disable all unnecessary services on your number. For example, if you once connected “Everywhere is like home”, but have already returned to your region, then you can simply send a message containing the text “33330” to number 111.
