Starting today, MTS is improving the parameters of its “Profitable Calls to the CIS” service, expanding its geography and renaming it “Profitable calls to other countries”.

Current prices:

  • China - 1.50 rubles / min.
  • Republic of South Korea - 1.50 rubles / min.
  • Tcell of Tajikistan - 2.50 rubles / min.
  • Uzbekistan - 3.50 rubles / min.
  • Kcell of Kazakhstan - 3,50 rub./min.
  • Vietnam - 5.00 rubles per minute.

Subscription fee and connection cost - 0 rubles.

The option is valid only in the home region.

Let me remind you, also for calls to China at 1.5 rubles. MTS has an option “Profitable international calls”  (they are incompatible, but do not confuse them!). However, South Korea costs 5 rubles per minute on it, and many other countries are even more expensive. Plus, a monthly fee is charged for it. 50 rub / month  (the fee for the first month is debited when the option is connected).

Limitations:

  • The option is available on the tariffs “Smart mini”, “Smart”, “Smart Nonstop”, “Smart Unlimited”, “Smart +”, “Smart Top” open for connection and transition. When switching to another tariff plan, the option is automatically disabled.
  • The tariff option is valid only if the “International access” or “Easy roaming and international access” services are available.
  • The option does not work simultaneously with the options “Profitable international calls”, “Favorite country of Kazakhstan”, “Favorite country of Tajikistan”, “Favorite country of Uzbekistan”, “Favorite country of China”, “Favorite country of South Korea”, “Favorite country of Vietnam”, "Favorite country. The whole world".

Total:  “Profitable calls to other countries” is a nice bonus for many subscribers - both guests of the capital and those who need periodic calls to these destinations. After all, China is now one of the strategic business areas, because the news is doubly positive! Fortunately, the option is provided without a monthly fee, because many are recommended to connect even just in case.

Bold minus:a limited list of available tariffs and all with a monthly fee.

Mess

By the connection command * 111 * 965 # and the desire to find out the conditions of the option (hereinafter referred to as “0”), an SMS arrives with the cost of China 0.9 rubles, South Korea 1.5, Vietnam Vietnam 4.5.

The option itself in the "Mobile Assistant" still has the name "Profitable calls in the CIS." At the same time, earlier on “Profitable Calls to the CIS”, as you already understood, there was no such direction as China at all, because it has nothing to do with the CIS. Moreover, other countries, for example, Mongolia, are also present in the SMS description.

Screenshot of a saved copy of “Profitable Calls to the CIS” MTS from Google showing only 3 countries: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan:

We are waiting for revision. After all, all the same, how convenient and pleasant it is when you can make unreasonable calls in various directions from your main number without resorting to additional SIM-cards! However, there it was:

The service is not available for connection

When I tried to connect “Profitable calls to other countries” via * 111 * 965 # on the “Smart for my” tariff, I received a reply SMS: ““ Profitable calls to the CIS ”are not available at your tariff”. Why on earth, for it is also Smart (see tariff restrictions above), just non-public? Unclear. But the paid option “Profitable international calls”, of course, is available for connection.

The concepts of international communication and international roaming are often confused. Let's decide. Roaming - communication services outside the home country. International communication is an opportunity to make calls to other countries. This is what we will tell you in the framework of this article. If you, being at home, decide to call Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, the USA or any other country, but don’t know how to do this, then you have come to the address.

We often came across the fact that subscribers cannot call abroad. What could be the reason?

  • Insufficient funds. The most obvious option, but also the rarest. Most, nevertheless, know that international communication is expensive, therefore they replenish the account in advance;
  • The “International Access” or “Easy Roaming and International Access” services are not activated. We wrote about them in a separate article, talking about the basic services for roaming. Please note that they are needed not only for travel, but also for calls abroad. Services are connected in the operator’s office;
  • The phone number is incorrectly dialed. The rules are: + (country code) (city or operator code) (phone number). For example, Russia: +7 - country code, 912 - operator code, 1232323 - phone number. Country codes can be found here: https://moskva.mts.ru/personal/podderzhka/rouming-i-mezhgorod/kodi-stran-i-gorodov.

Otherwise, there should be no problems.

The basic tariffication on most tariff plans is as follows:

  • CIS - 35 r / min .;
  • Europe - 49 r / min .;
  • The rest of the country -70 r / min.

As you can see, it's expensive. We will look for ways to save.

MTS tariff plans for calls to other countries

If you talk only with other countries and don’t communicate within Russia or it does not make it difficult for you to have a second SIM card, then you can connect a separate tariff plan. The name is "Your country."

There is no subscription fee. Its peculiarity is that international calls are provided at a discount. At the same time, other communication directions are not the most profitable:

  • Inside the tariff - 1 ruble per minute;
  • At MTS and other operators - 2.50 r / min .;
  • Intercity - 5 rubles.

We are more interested in rates for calls to other countries:

Tajikistan (TCELL) 4,5 p.
Abkhazia, South Ossetia 12 p.
Azerbaijan, Belarus 25 p.
Armenia MTS (1-30 min per day) 3 p.
Armenia other operators 20 p.
Georgia 20 p.
Kazakhstan (Kcell) 3,50 p.
Kazakhstan, other operators 8 p.
Kyrgyzstan 15 p.
Moldova 11 p.
Tajikistan, other numbers 8 p.
Turkmenistan 10 p.
Uzbekistan 6 p.
Ukraine 20 p.
Vietnam 8 p.
China (excluding Macau and Hong Kong) 3 p.
South Korea 3 p.
Europe 49 p.
Other countries 70 p.

As you can see, not in all cases, but in many it will be possible to save. Again, decide for yourself: will it be convenient to have a separate tariff plan.

After each international connection, users are often unpleasantly surprised by the deduction of a large amount of money from the balance. If you often have to talk with subscribers who are outside your country, then there is reason to think about additional options.
