Roaming from mts. Internet options MTS "BIT abroad Unlimited Internet in Europe MTS

We are so accustomed to constant access to the Internet that we do not want to give it up in any situation. Even if we travel, it is more convenient to always stay online in order to be able to check the most current information about the weather, plan a walk route, write a message to friends or simply post a photo on Instagram. Mobile Internet on a tablet or smartphone can help you with this.

How to stay online?

Let's start with the fact that you can work with the Internet in different ways - both free and those that require a certain fee. It all depends on what you expect when connecting to the Internet. The tasks vary depending on the duration of your connection, its regularity, and the amount of data transferred. For example, going to VK and sending a couple of messages cannot be compared with downloading a movie using Torrent. Therefore, you need to take this into account when looking for the Internet abroad.

MTS, for example, is a leader in the field of mobile connections in roaming. Therefore, we will talk about this company in today’s article, talking about the Internet for mobile devices. True, the cost of such a connection is quite high. In the meantime, let's look at other options for staying online. Some of them, by the way, require absolutely no payment.

Free Wi-Fi hotspots

If you travel abroad, you can safely rely on open Wi-Fi networks. They can be found near some cafes, restaurants, hotels, train stations, airports and other crowded places. If we talk about European countries, it is very easy to find an Internet access point there. The USA, Canada and other developed countries are the same.

The coverage area of open Wi-Fi networks is quite wide, so it will most likely meet your needs without any fees. If you need the connection to be present in your device constantly, then you should pay attention to paid services. For example, the same wireless connection networks from the MTS operator. They are located in many countries, so where you go, you are likely to find them.

Paid Wi-Fi from MTS

Let's start by telling you the price of connecting and using services - it's 40 rubles for every hour of access. It is impossible to say that it is cheap. In fact, the cost of services is quite high, even taking into account the comfortable conditions for the user and flexible settings of the tariff plan. By the way, nothing is reported about it on the company’s website.

But it is known that the MTS network has 800 Internet access points around the world. Everyone has the same password and login, which will be provided to you as a subscriber to the service. Access points are located anywhere - in various entertainment venues, at transport infrastructure facilities, in places where tourists gather.

How to connect Wi-Fi?

Connecting to the MTS Wi-Fi service is very simple. You need to send a message including the word pass to the short number 1106, specially designated by the company. In the response message you will receive the login under which you were registered in the system, as well as a password (this will be the network access key).

MTS can write off the above-mentioned 40 rubles for hourly Internet access abroad in two ways. The first is a withdrawal from the user's subscriber account, the second is payment using a bank card. It is noteworthy that anyone can use this service, regardless of whether they are connected to MTS or not.

The advantage of Wi-Fi of this kind from MTS - unlimited Internet abroad - will allow you to download movies at high speed or, for example, upload archives with photographs. This is necessary to free up space or gain access to entertainment media content.

How to set up Wi-Fi?

MTS makes it very easy to set up Internet abroad. Since the service subscriber receives a password and login on his mobile phone, all he needs to connect is to enter these data. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to transfer them to anyone - the system will not authorize a second device under the same parameters. Therefore, if you would like to share the same key with friends, you will be disappointed.

But the advantage of such a connection is its absolute simplicity and speed. No need to worry about whether your phone will get a signal or not. You can be absolutely sure that Wi-Fi is a stable, high-speed connection that provides ample opportunities for your tablet, smartphone or laptop, even while traveling.

Mobile Internet and its advantages

However, there are situations when we are not able to log in from a fixed wireless Internet point. For example, we are traveling across the country, far from Wi-Fi routers, but need to check our route using online maps. Of course, only a mobile connection is suitable for such needs. It is provided, for example, by MTS. Roaming (Internet) abroad will cost more than within the country, but the quality of the service will remain quite high. There is no need to worry about connection speed. The main thing is to choose the tariff with which you would like to interact and configure it correctly.

Internet tariffs from MTS

In total, the mobile operator has three packages that are beneficial for using Internet services. They are called “BIT Abroad”, “Super BIT Abroad”, and also “Maxi BIT Abroad”. Connection, operating conditions, as well as restrictions for each of the specified tariff plans differ. We will talk about each of these tariffs in more detail in this article.

"BIT Abroad"

The easiest option to connect MTS Internet abroad (reviews indicate that it is also the most profitable) is to activate this tariff plan. It provides for a traffic volume of 30 megabytes per day at a cost of 300 rubles per day. This quota applies, according to the terms of service, to countries in Europe, the CIS, the USA, Canada, China, Turkey and some other countries popular for domestic subscribers. If the user of the service enters the territory of other countries (or is located somewhere on the high seas), the volume of data is reduced to 5 megabytes, and the cost increases to 1,200 rubles per day. If you are planning to travel to another country, it is obviously unprofitable to use the service offered by MTS (Internet abroad).

You can find out how to activate the “BIT Abroad” tariff by going to the page on the company’s website. It states that to activate you need to dial one of the commands: *111*2222# or *212#. In addition, you can activate the service using SMS message 2222 sent to number 111, as well as using the subscriber’s online account. The cost is written off only if the user connects to the network.

"Maxi BIT Abroad"

The second tariff plan in terms of data volume is the “Maxi” package. Its conditions are the same as the previous one, the only difference is how many megabytes will be available to the subscriber at what price. So, mobile Internet abroad (MTS Maxi BIT) will cost 600 rubles per day for the first group of countries and 2,200 rubles if the user leaves their borders. In this case, a quota of 70 and 10 megabytes is given for spending, respectively. Connection is carried out using the command *111*2223# or by sending a message with the numbers 2223 to 111.

"Super BIT Abroad"

The third package tariff - “Super BIT” - is the most voluminous in terms of the traffic provided. According to it, Internet abroad (MTS is a service provider) will cost 1,500 rubles per day of use for a user from the listed countries, as well as 4,000 rubles for working on the network from the territory of other states. In this case, the data volume is 200 and 20 megabytes, respectively.

You can activate this plan by sending a request *111*2224# or the message “2224” to 111.

How to choose?

It’s quite easy to choose the tariff plan with which you would be more comfortable working. You immediately need to decide on the purpose of activating the service from MTS. Connecting the Internet abroad is quite simple, we have already written about this; Another thing is the feasibility of such costs. The cost of the third tariff plan is colossal. You will likely be able to save money by choosing an alternative network access source. Therefore, we pay attention to why you need to connect on a tablet or smartphone. Most often, the MTS roaming service (Internet abroad) is taken for the simplest actions that are required away from fixed Wi-Fi networks: checking mail, social networks, weather or navigator. For this, the minimum tariff - 30 megabytes per day - will be quite sufficient. And its cost is adequate - 300 rubles.

If we talk about more voluminous plans, then they are even suitable for performing some work tasks when connected from a laptop. However, is there any point in purchasing such expensive tariff plans? Wouldn’t it be easier to look for landline Internet in the area where you are going to connect to it? This would be more reasonable, because MTS Internet abroad (tariffs provided for network connection from abroad) are too expensive.

As a last resort, if you really have circumstances when you need to send a data file over the Internet, the volume of which exceeds 30 megabytes, and there is no civilization nearby, it is reasonable to connect to “Maxi” and “Super”. But you can choose between them purely based on the required amount of traffic.

What if it's not enough?

On the website of the MTS operator (Internet abroad, tariffs and conditions for its provision are described here) there is also information with guidance on what to do if the traffic allocated under the “BIT”, as well as “BIT Super” and “BIT” tariffs Maxi" is not enough for the user's work. Basic tariffs that are valid within the country (for example, MTS tablet) do not provide Internet abroad, so you should not count on it.

In order not to exceed the allocated quota and not to spend a lot of money, the operator offers each subscriber a special service. It's called the "Turbo button". Its conditions are the same as the “BIT” (basic) plan - for 300 rubles per day an additional 30 megabytes of traffic are provided. To activate this option on your phone you need to dial the combination *111*485#. There is no need to disable the service, since its operation will be terminated within 24 hours after activation, and also in the event that the provided traffic volume has ultimately been exhausted.

In addition to information about its tariff plans, MTS also provides users with information on how to use the Internet while roaming cheaper and more profitable.

For example, the operator recommends topping up your account in advance with the amount you expect to spend on communications. This will save you from troubles such as having to look for funds to replenish while traveling and wasting your time on it. MTS also recommends activating the “In Full Trust” service. It allows you to use mobile communications even in cases when there are no funds left on your balance, thus “driving” it into a negative value. Again, this will allow you to talk right away, and pay for the services provided later.

Also pay close attention to the settings of your mobile phone. The operator recommends disabling automatic operator settings so that the user does not lose money from the account if he was in the border zone and the phone independently switched to roaming mode.

Finally, while keeping track of your balance and data usage, pay attention to up-to-date information on how much data you've spent. Do not forget that this data is updated with a delay, because it takes additional time for foreign telecom operators to provide the balance to MTS. For this reason, do not rush to resume a conversation or online access session if you are not sure whether the provided data package was enough for you or not.

When traveling abroad, MTS users can always use Internet access when registering in foreign networks from their mobile device. To be able to access the global network when traveling abroad using your mobile device, the “Easy roaming and international access” or “International and national roaming” options must be active on it, and “Mobile data exchange” must be enabled in the menu of the device itself.

Our separate review explains what international roaming services are and how to use them, as well as how to activate mobile data transfer on your device.

The MTS “Beat Abroad” set of options consists of three different offers:

"Beat Abroad."
"Maxi Beat Abroad."
"Super Beat Abroad."

There are also ways to purchase additional volumes of traffic using one-time services under the “Turbo button abroad” option after the expiration of the main package included in the options.

For those who can no longer imagine their life without a global network, we will describe the options of the “Beat Abroad” group.

Connecting one of the options of the “Bit Abroad” group is possible for all MTS tariffs with the exception of tariff plans that have the words “Caring” and “Cool” in their names.

The cost of traffic is debited from the subscriber’s balance at the start of the first active Internet transaction per day and the volume consumption begins within the limit. Payment is debited at a time and in full for daily Internet use.

The “Internet restriction in international roaming” function connected to your tariff is automatically deactivated when you connect one of the options of the “Bit Abroad” group.

Reducing the maximum possible speed of action within the traffic package included in the options can be reduced in case of heavy network loads in the company’s partner countries.

If the option remains connected while you are in your country or home region, then the cost of traffic and its limits are calculated according to the main tariff plan.

Traffic volumes and prices

Let's look at the table in which countries provide what limits on the use of access to the global network on different group options and what the cost of the operator's package offers is.

Package Management

How to connect and deactivate the service on your mobile device? Any of the options of the “Bit abroad” group is connected in this way:

Personal account. By logging in using the link: https://login.mts.ru and going to the “Service Management” section in the “Connect new services” item.
In the My MTS mobile application, open the “Services” section of the main menu and go to the “Available Services” item.
By calling the company's technical support at 0890 (for calls from MTS numbers) or at 8-800-250-08-90 (for calls while inside Russia from numbers of other operators). In order to call the company’s technical support while in international roaming, you need to use the number +7 495 766 01 66
Personally visit the operator’s salon or office and activate the selected option with the help of a company consultant.

All of the above methods are also suitable for turning off already connected options of the “Bit Abroad” line.

You can also use the following USSD commands to independently purchase the service:

“Bit abroad” - using the number series: *111*2222# or *212#, then making a call.

To disable it yourself, the user can use the same USSD commands:

“Bit abroad” - using the number series: *111*2222#, then sending the call.
“Maxi Bit abroad” - using the number line: *111*2223#, then sending the call.
“Super Beat abroad” - using the number line: *111*2224#, then sending the call.

Connected options of the “Beat Abroad!” line controlled using USSD command dialing *111*217# and sending a call.

Important! Access packages to the global network “Bit Abroad”, “Maxi BIT Abroad” and “Super BIT Abroad” exclude simultaneous connections - the user will be able to use only one of them at a time.

Turbo button

Both for Internet packages provided by MTS within the country and for foreign packages, after the daily limit has been used up, the user is given the opportunity to purchase additional traffic volumes using one-time orders using the “Turbo button abroad” option.

The functionality of the one-time “Turbo button abroad” service applies to the following list of countries:

All European states (excluding Andorra and Iceland), members of the Union of Independent States, the Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia, Egypt, Turkey, South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Tunisia, Australia, Japan, Israel, Canada , People's Republic of China (except Macau), United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Thailand, Saudi Arabia.

If the user is in other states or in satellite systems, on ships and aircraft, the use of the option on MTS is not provided.

The service consists of 30 Megabytes of Internet traffic at the maximum speed available in the region of location and costs 450 for 1 connection. Payment is debited in full immediately after purchasing the option.

How to connect a foreign “Turbo button” when traveling to other countries? In order to buy additional Internet with the “Turbo button” option, you need to send a USSD request from your device with the following character order: *111*485#. To disable it, you don’t need to do anything - the one-time option is disabled automatically after the limit is exhausted. The request is sent free of charge.

The number of “Turbo buttons abroad” ordered by the operator is not limited.

Additional option for receiving traffic

How else can you get additional mobile megabytes of traffic? To additionally receive mobile traffic after the daily limit has been exhausted, the operator allows the possibility of disabling and then reconnecting the “Bit Abroad”, “MaxiBIT Abroad” and “SuperBIT Abroad” options. In this case, the daily subscription fee when accessing the network will be charged again and traffic limits will be restored.

Internet access services can be used even while roaming. But if the rates for intranet roaming are quite low, then in international roaming they bite, to put it mildly. Let's discuss how to connect the Internet while roaming from MTS and talk about the current prices for Internet access while traveling. In total we will consider three questions:

Tariffing of the Internet in intranet roaming;
Tariffing of the Internet in international roaming;
Setting up the Internet in roaming.

All this information will help us find out what awaits us when traveling around Russia and the world.

How to set up Internet in MTS roaming

First, let's talk about the settings, since you don't need to configure anything here. If you have already used mobile Internet on your home network, this means that it will also work in intranet roaming. But if you plan to go abroad, you need to activate the services “International and national roaming” and “International access”. Otherwise, Internet access will not be possible..

To activate the services described above, you should use your “Personal Account” or send the USSD command *111*2192#. The connection can also be made at the nearest MTS subscriber service office - do not forget to take your passport with you.

How much does MTS Internet cost in roaming?

Let's now look at the tariffs for Internet access in intranet roaming when traveling around Russia. Almost all tariff plans without a subscription fee will have per-megabyte pricing - the cost of 1 MB of received/sent data will be 9.90 rubles. It is quite expensive, but we can optimize costs with the help of additional options.

In addition, to optimize the cost of Internet access in domestic Russian roaming, we can switch to one of the “Smart” line tariffs - Some of them provide Internet access at home network prices. As for traveling around the world, the cost of Internet access (in almost all countries) is 30 rubles/40 KB. Yes, the prices are very high, but sometimes mobile networks remain the only gateway to access the network. But we can optimize prices using the options “BIT Abroad”, “Maxi BIT Abroad”, “Super BIT Abroad”.

"BIT Abroad"

Full unlimited (including speed) for 1600 rubles/day - works in countries such as Indonesia, USA, Malaysia, Canada, Taiwan, Spain, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Slovakia, Italy, Romania, Greece, Singapore , Germany, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Tajikistan, Thailand, India, UAE, Hong Kong, UK, Israel, Switzerland, San Marino, Hungary, Portugal, Netherlands, Latvia and Lithuania;
Package of 150 MB for 1600 rubles/day - valid in Belarus;
Package of 200 MB for 1600 rubles/day - works in Maine, Croatia, Jersey, China (except Macau and Hong Kong), Guernsey, Estonia, Kyrgyzstan, Slovenia, Armenia, Liechtenstein, Poland, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Austria, Egypt , Finland, Abkhazia and Cyprus;
Package of 200 MB for 2000 rubles/day - activated in the Faroe Islands, Georgia, Gibraltar, Azerbaijan, Macedonia, Norway, Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sweden, Luxembourg, Uzbekistan, Ireland, Serbia, Moldova, South Korea, Denmark and Malta
A package of 20 MB for 4,500 rubles/day - works when you are in other countries of the world.

In other countries, on aircraft and ships, as well as in satellite networks, a package of 1 MB is provided for 1,500 rubles per day. Connecting and disabling the option is done using the USSD command *111*2224#. SMS commands are also used for this: send an SMS with the text 2224 to number 111 to enable the option or text 22240 to disable it. The validity period of the provided packages is one day (from 00-00 to 00-00, Moscow time). Options are valid only in international roaming. The rest of the traffic is checked using the USSD command *111*217#.

MTS Internet tariffs for roaming

In international roaming, the options used are important - without them, Internet access tariffs will be the same (and very expensive) on almost all tariff plans. If you are traveling around Russia, we recommend that you use the following tariffs:

“Smart” - 3 GB of traffic is provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*1024#, the subscription fee is 550 rubles/month;
“Smart+” - 10 GB of traffic are provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*1025#, the subscription fee is 900 rubles/month;
“Smart Top” - 15 GB of traffic are provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*1026#, the subscription fee is 1600 rubles/month.
“Smart Unlimited” - unlimited traffic is provided throughout Russia. To switch, you should send the USSD command *111*3888#, the subscription fee is 19 rubles/day.

By the way, these same tariffs provide substantial packages of SMS and minutes, which can also be spent in domestic Russian roaming.

Don’t want to change your tariff plan, but want to get inexpensive Internet access when traveling around Russia? Then use additional options:

“Internet Mini” - 7 GB for 500 rubles/month. The additional payment for using traffic outside the home region is 50 rubles/day. To connect the option, dial the USSD command *160#;
“Internet Mini” - 15 GB during the day and unlimited at night for 800 rubles/month (the night window is valid from 01-00 to 07-00). The additional payment for using traffic outside the home region is 50 rubles/day. To connect the option, dial the USSD command *161#;
“Internet VIP” - 30 GB during the day and unlimited at night for 1,200 rubles/month (the night window is valid from 01-00 to 07-00). The additional payment for using traffic outside the home region is 50 rubles/day. To connect the option, dial the USSD command *166#.

Using these options, you can optimize the cost of network access during intranet roaming.

Pay attention to the newest tariff plan “Smart Zabugorishche”. The traffic provided within its framework, which is 7 GB per week, is available both throughout Russia and abroad. The subscription fee is only 250 rubles/week.

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 be unfavorable. 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 travel 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.

Many modern consumers are accustomed to spending most of their time on the Internet, unable to imagine themselves without its endless opportunities for work and entertainment. Being abroad for various reasons, such subscribers feel uncomfortable - the cost of access to the network on MTS is so high that even ordinary correspondence seems “golden”. To solve this problem, the BIT service abroad was developed by MTS. Today’s article will tell you what it is and what its pricing is.

Depending on the state of residence, 1 MB of network access can cost the user a pretty penny. Sometimes it's simply easier to find an unpaid Wi-Fi access point than to access the Internet via a cellular network. But what to do when there is no unpaid point nearby, and you need to get into the World Wide Web right now. In such situations, the “BIT Abroad” service will come to the rescue, which provides Internet traffic under the following conditions:

For a fee of 300 rubles per day, the subscriber will be provided with 30 MB of traffic - the conditions apply in Thailand, China, Egypt, Korea, Turkey, America, Canada, Georgia, Israel, Abkhazia and the UAE.
For a fee of 1,200 rubles, the subscriber will be provided with 5 MB per day - the conditions apply to all other countries of the world, ships and aircraft.

The costs are extremely high, but still cheaper than paying for each MB of access. Once the allocated traffic is used up, the Internet connection will be blocked until the next day. So you need to spend it punctually. It is also recommended to turn off all automatic software updates on your mobile gadget, which will reduce MB consumption. For an additional fee, you can order another access package of the same type. To do this, you need to dial the combination * 212 # on your cell phone keyboard.

Option limitations

“BIT abroad” implies certain features and restrictions that the consumer needs to be aware of:

While using the service, there is a daily quota for Internet traffic. After the quota expires, access to the network is blocked until 3 am the next day. At the same time, access to the mobile version of the MTS website and the “Personal Account” service remains free.
The package limit counter is reset to zero every day at exactly 3 am. It is worth noting that this time corresponds to the time of the consumer’s “home” region.
To obtain accurate information about the status of the service, you need to dial the combination * 111 * 217 # on your cell phone keyboard, and then make a call.
If a subscriber uses less than the established traffic over the past day, then from 3 a.m. the next day he will again be credited with the full quota at the maximum speed. The service fee is charged the first time you access the network.

Cancel restrictions

There are several options for removing restrictions:

Those users for whom the daily quota is not enough can activate the “Turbo-button abroad”, “Super BIT abroad” or “Maxi BIT abroad” services, which will increase the volume of daily traffic and save on network access.
After exceeding the quota, the subscriber can always reactivate the service by dialing * 212 # and making a call. It is worth noting that in this case all access speed restrictions are removed automatically.

How to connect
