MTS, new "unlimited

The new version of the tariff is completely redesigned and, in fact, is a deteriorated version of Smart Nonstop. Which is also closed for connections and sent to the archive. Instead of Internet Unlimited, give a 10 GB traffic package and transferring unused fully packages for the next month.

"Unlimited" was going to lie on the first of March, so nothing unexpected for us had happened to you. Why postponed? It is difficult to say, yes now it does not matter, the case is done. Intrigued with the title. In fact, nothing unlimited in the tariff is left, and the name is now misleading. Apparently, "unlimited" became so well-promoted brand that the name risked to leave. How will you justify if you have to have to find fault? And those who wish are found, opi ("Public Consumer Initiative") carefully monitors the wording. Perhaps, MTS was considered to be legally saving the name through the transfer of package residues for the next month.

Thus, SMART +, Smart Top and Transformist remained from Internet Anlims available to connect public tariffs. But the "transformer" is a special case, it is only for new connections and is not for sale in the salons, only through an order in the online store.

Anatomy of Tarifa

As already wrote, the new tariff does not make sense to compare with the former "unlimited", it is a little animal of a completely different breed. More similarity with SMART Nonstop sent to the archive. The main parameters of the new "unlimited":

• Subscription fee 550 rub. per month. As far as I understood, the daily writing off refused and moved to the monthly scheme. Also, when moving to a new "unlimited" will immediately write off 550 rubles. Without any benefits for the first month.
• In package 350 minutes, 350 SMS and 10 GB traffic per month. Unlike Smart Nonstop, night unlimited is not provided.
• Unused minutes, SMS and traffic are transferred for the next month, this can be considered the main "chip" of the new tariff. But Internet traffic is transferred to cunning, just below.
• When traveling outside the home region and use the tariff is charged daily 15 rubles. This "tax on intranet roaming" is not charged at the SMART + tariffs and older.
• After the Internet package is exhausted, additional packages of 1 GB for 150 rubles are automatically connected. everyone.
• The SMS packet is valid only to messages inside the home region. In Russia and other countries for a fee.
• When calling from the MTS Connect application, the number of minutes in the package is formally doubled, but also not without interesting "features".

The tariff does not look too attractive, but do not forget about the transfer of packages for the next month. This is an important plus and noticeable savings in uneven consumption. Probably, thanks to TELE2 for the return of this long-abandoned scheme.

How the transfer works

The contents of the packages are transferred only to one (next) month, smoldering "products" three and more months will not work. The maximum that is transferred is the total volume of one "product set". But still saving. Especially for those who consume moments unevenly and periodically pops out beyond the framework of the package.

It would be awesome if the Tele2 scheme was simply copied in the MTS, in which minutes transferred from the previous month, SMS and traffic are spent first. As far as I understood, transferred minutes and SMS in the MTS tariff is really spent primarily or simply summed up with new packages. But in the scheme with the transfer of Internet traffic at MTS, "Little trick" was found. Transferred traffic is not spent primarily, but only after the complete consumption of the current package. For example, if in March you have left unused 4 GB of traffic, then they will be transferred to April and 14 GB in April can be spent without surcharge. But if in April you will spend 11 GB from these 14, then nothing will be transferred to May, the residue of 3 GB is considered to be Martov. Accordingly, if the total 14 GB in April spent 9, then 1 GB moves to May. Talentedly invented, here would be the inventor of the scheme charged the salary in MTS Bank for the same principle!

With the "doubling" of the package of minutes when calling from the MTS Connect application, it is also interesting to be invented, described this scheme in the review. The focus is that the main package of minutes is spent first always. Including calls from the application. And only when the main package ended, we get the second one that you can spend solely on calls from the MTS Connect application. Ordinary calls (except calls to MTS) will be for a fee. Formally, you can consider the "doubling" of the package of minutes, and in fact you understand. But still the application "MTS Connect" is useful, especially in international roaming.

How and with what to compare

It is clear that the new "unlimited" to compare with the old one is useless, these are fundamentally different tariffs. Inherited the name, but this is a marketing in its pure form, and Mobile-Review is not a "discount", to compare the letters to us for nothing. But the similarity with the Smart Nonstop sent to the archive is simply striking, and compare with it. There would be no name "New Nonstopic" tariff to facilitate perception ...

There for calls to all the rooms of Russia from the package in the new "Unlimited" I have certain doubts. It will be necessary to carefully examine the PDF description when it appears on the MTS website. 5 rubles / min look more logical.

Summary

The new "unlimited" will now suit those who do not have enough Internet traffic on the SMART tariff. Although while I do not know how Smart is now unmodified, we will not make it up. In any case, go to the new "unlimited" with the already archival nonstop, I would not advise. From the old (now old) "unlimited" - maybe. If 10 GB of traffic is enough, and on the contrary, 200 per month is not enough. And with uneven consumption to use the benefits of packet transfer for the next month.

The tariff with its appearance means two important news:

1. MTS refusal from relatively inexpensive (if 500-600 rubles. Read inexpensive) tariffs with unlimited Internet, even only "trimmed" night.
2. The appearance of the transfer scheme in the tariffs of the unused part of the packets for the next month. Let's hope to continue in other tariffs.

Update.

Several important clarifications that appeared after publishing the description of the tariff on the site.
