MTS smartphone: tariffs, prices and reviews

Because of the popularity of smartphones among subscribers, many operators are developing special tariff grids, which would be in demand among the owners of such devices. In particular, service packages developed for smartphones include mobile Internet for working with mail and social networks, SMS packages and minutes for calls.

The Russian operator of MTS is no exception. The company has created several tariffs at once for both smartphones and tablets of its subscribers. About what they include, let's talk about this article.

Smart packages from MTS - smartphone will be satisfied!

The company introduced a whole tariff system that will satisfy the user with a mobile phone called Smart. This service includes four additional packages, which differ in cost and volume of data provided. We are talking about Smart Mini, Smart, Smart + and Smart Top.

The subscriber has the right to choose - to receive less for the corresponding amount or to pay more in exchange for additional opportunities. The difference between packages is in the amount of megabytes of Internet connection (in MTS, a smartphone is considered a device with which the user will most likely "surf" the sites, read news and enjoy various media content), SMS messages, free minutes on the network and, of course, Region of the package. For example, the tariff at which the subscriber is given the opportunity to talk with users of another part of Russia will cost more.

In order to more clearly understand which of the tariffs of "MTS smartphone" will suit you better, we will give the basic information on each of them.

Smart Mini

So, let's start with the simplest and most accessible - the "Mini" package. It is designed for users with minimal requests and those who would like to spend on communication as little as possible. The subscription fee, which is charged from the user, is only 200 rubles. For this money a person receives 500 megabytes of Internet, unlimited number of conversations with MTS subscribers from the same region, 50 SMS and 1000 minutes for calls to operator numbers from another region.

In order to call other operators' numbers, you need to pay 1.5 rubles for each minute of the call. As reported on the official website of the company, the tariff "MTS Smartphone Mini" (or, as it is officially called, Smart Mini), you need to purchase a starter package worth 220 rubles.

Smart

Next in the ladder is a Smart data packet. This is a more expensive tariff, which will cost 450 rubles for each month of use. True, the subscriber's capabilities will be an order of magnitude greater. So, for use in the MTS Internet for a smartphone on this plan is provided in the amount of 3 GB of data. This is, as you can see, 6 times higher than the rate stipulated in the previous tariff.

In addition, the subscriber is provided with unlimited conversations with numbers belonging to MTS, as well as another 500 minutes that can be used to make calls to other operators' phone numbers. For text communication, the operator provides 500 SMS, which the subscriber can send to any number for free.

The cost of the tariff plan is equal to the monthly payment - 450 rubles.

Smart +

The next tariff, which is interesting for us in the study of the package "MTS smartphone" - "Smart Plus." It costs even more - 900 rubles a month. For this amount the client receives as much as 5 GB of mobile Internet data and unlimited calls to any numbers on the MTS network. In addition, the subscriber is provided with 1100 minutes of calls to any number throughout the country, as well as 1100 SMS messages.

The cost of the services that will be provided after spending the allocated packages depends on whether the subscriber has the "Additional Internet" and "Additional SMS" services. If this does not happen, then the Internet is provided for free, but with a speed limit. While SMS above the norm will cost 50 kopecks / piece.

Smart Top

Finally, the most expensive and at the same time the tariff with the widest possibilities is "Smart Top". The cost of it reaches 1500 rubles a month, and for this money the user receives 10 gigabytes of Internet throughout Russia and unlimited calls to the MTS network. In this case, instead of 1100 on "Smart Plus", the user of "Top" gets 2000 minutes for calls to the phones of foreign operators, as well as 2,000 SMS messages throughout the country. If a person spends the marked limit, then MTS calls will be allocated to him free of charge, while for connection with other operators it will be necessary to pay 3 rubles for each minute of the conversation.

Other tariffs

It is possible to use other tariffs for the smartphone, intended for MTS subscribers. These are the plans for "Posekundny" and "Super MTS". The first means that there is no subscription fee every month, but it provides for the removal of 5 kopecks for every second of the conversation on phones located within the Moscow region. To talk with a person from another region, you need to pay at a rate of 5 rubles per minute, when it comes to MTS numbers, and 14 rubles per minute for calls to other operators' phones.

The "Super MTS" tariff provides for the absence of a monthly fee, but with it you need to pay one and a half rubles for communication with MTS subscribers (starting from the 21st minute of the conversation per day of use), 5 rubles for calls to other operators' numbers.

Thus, most likely, if you need to use the Internet, the Smart tariffs will be more profitable for you.

Phones from MTS

In addition to the fact that the company is engaged in the provision of mobile communications services, the operator also has its own line of smartphones. Their assortment is presented in a special online store on the official website. All MTS smartphones, prices for them and reviews for each can be found there. This resource also offers to order a smartphone yourself.

You ask, what is the peculiarity of the devices that are sold under the brand of the mobile operator? According to the model, which has long been practiced around the world, these devices are locked for one operator. This means that purchased smartphones marked "MTS" will only work with the SIM card of this operator.

What is the benefit?

The question arises, why buy a phone (MTS smartphone), if it can not be used with other networks? This is a fairly significant restriction for the user, which can not be bypassed? What happens if the customer wants to switch to another operator?

The benefits that MTS smartphones promise (prices, feedback on them we will describe below), is the low cost of devices. It, in turn, is explained by the fact that the mobile operator understates the price, proceeding from the further monetary receipts from the subscriber. After all, you will agree, the person will use the smartphone further, paying for mobile services to the operator. Therefore, MTS can sell such devices cheaper.

Reviews

If you are thinking of acquiring a smartphone in your MTS, you need to read reviews about it first. For example, take one of the most popular (and available) - the Smart Start model. It is worth only 2990 rubles, while, as noted by customers, the device fully justifies its price. Characteristics indicate that this is a budget touch phone that can be fully used as a "dialer" and as a gadget for listening to music, talking on Skype, reading books or surfing the Internet.

Another example: in the event that you need not a budget device, but a solid smartphone capable of more, you can choose the model 968. This MTS smartphone (reviews confirm) looks much more solid and costs 6500 rubles. At the same time, it is equipped with a processor with a performance of 1 GHz, a 5-megapixel camera, 512 megabytes of RAM and various features like a GPS module and a memory card slot. For such money, again, according to the recommendations of buyers, the best device is not found.

The company sells other smartphones MTS. Prices, reviews and specifications are what you need to pay attention to first. You can also choose the device, based on its external design and other preferences.

Features of branded devices

In general, when buying such a smartphone, one should remember about its main feature - it is rather a simple budget phone for the SIM card of MTS than a serious device for everyday work. In essence, these phones are cheap Chinese Android-devices. Therefore, comparing them with smartphones from Samsung, Apple or even Lenovo does not make sense. Just considering which are installed on smartphones MTS prices, reviews about them are positive. However, do not forget that they are suitable mainly for elementary tasks (mentioned above). Play them or make colorful pictures, alas, will not work.

In general, as the assortment on the MTS website shows, these people buy phones and the demand for them is there. And again, the devices are connected to the tariff plans of the operator, which will be a clear plus for those who are used to MTS.
