Not so long ago, the cellular operator MTS made a statement that soon cellular services for users of the MTS Smart Money bank card should become free. Holders of these cards will have the official opportunity not to pay for MTS communication services.
However, in order not to pay for the use of communication services, the cardholder must make monthly purchases totaling from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles. Or make sure that the amount of at least 50,000 rubles always remains on the card account.
More about MTS Smart Money
As was said earlier, holders of the MTS Smart Money card will have the opportunity not to pay a single penny for cellular communications. However, for free communication certain conditions must be met. So, for example, its user must make purchases using this card in the amount of 10,000 to 30,000 rubles monthly.
The amount of purchases will depend on the tariff that will be set on your phone number. If your number has a Smart tariff, the purchase amount will be from 10,000 rubles. If you use the Smart Nonstop tariff, the amount of purchases will be 20,000 rubles. And if you have the Smart+ package connected, then the total amount of purchases should be 30,000 rubles.
However, there is a second way to get free communication. To do this, you need to maintain a constant amount on your card balance. The amount will differ for different tariffs. So for the Smart tariff, the amount will be 50,000 rubles. For the Smart Nonstop tariff – 70,000 rubles. And for the Smart Plus+ tariff - 100,000 rubles.
If one of these conditions is met, the card user will not pay for cellular communications.
Description of the MTS Smart Money card
If we talk about the MTS Smart Money card itself, it is an ordinary Visa debit card. Anyone who wants to purchase this bank card can apply for it at the nearest MTS communication store or special branches of MTS Bank in St. Petersburg and Moscow. However, from July 1, 2016, this opportunity will be available to MTS subscribers, not only in Moscow, St. Petersburg and throughout Russia, but also abroad.
Card holders will need to connect to any tariff from the Smart line and deposit a mandatory amount of 199 rubles into the card account. This amount is required, as it is charged annually for card maintenance.
You should know that if the card holder can fulfill all the conditions for free communication, then no monthly fee will be charged. Also free for you will be SMS notifications to your phone number about card transactions and the opportunity to withdraw funds from your card without commission.
According to the mobile operator Tele2, this offer was created with the aim of printing information about free communications on advertising in large letters. However, as is usually the case, the MTS company will prefer to hide the main information about how to get free communications and what conditions must be met in fine print.
It should be noted that this offer is valid only on tariffs of the Smart line, except for Smart mini. And it will not be active on other tariffs of the MTS cellular operator.
In Moscow, an expensive Porsche or Lexus may have a random set of numbers. But in a remote town, each killed “six” will show off a special set of cool numbers. Why this happens, I don't know. Recently, on the Panevezys-Vilnius highway, I saw an old Polo with only one letter in the entire number. A modest pensioner behind the wheel has no idea what value such a license plate would have in Russia. They just gave her one and she went. No one is embarrassed by a kid in torn sneakers, but with the latest iPhone on a subway bench. The value system very much depends on the level of education and culture. Low self-esteem leads to the search for other ways to measure the size of the ego with others.
I was always afraid of losing the number that I had been using since 1999. But one day I changed it and... nothing happened. On New Year's Eve, a friend called with congratulations. To my bewilderment, he simply explained how he found out the number. I called Lena, she called Sasha, and then Marivanna remembered that Petya had it.
Now this is completely unnecessary. You can come to the office of a mobile operator and transfer your number from another. My first experience and the experience of my friends was an obstacle course and concrete walls. Miracles awaited on every piece of paper, on every comma in the operator’s databases. Mobile banks crashed, SMS messages did not work for several days, and the phone was unavailable. I had to call and swear. It was a long time ago. Last year, I changed operators again. I wrote on the website, a courier arrived with a SIM card. A few days later the card from the old operator turned off, so I inserted a new one. Nothing happened at all. The phone worked and still works. It's as simple as replacing a roll of paper in your washroom.
Why do I think it is the right decision to move from operator to operator? Sometimes the last straw is the last straw. The most terrible experience was with MTS, in that era when the brilliant Mikhail Susov left, and the company fell into a marketing nightmare. Endless subscriptions, imposed services, wap-clicks and other erotic pictures for pensioners with poor eyesight. The overall level of service has dropped so much that it was like a mockery. It got to the point that the expensive paid service for communication abroad was turned on when I returned to Russia.
Even I, a loyal subscriber with 15 years of experience, could not stand it. Changed operator. How to do this simply and painlessly? The main thing is that your personal data in the operator’s database matches the real ones and is generally yours. I requested a printout from MTS, it turned out that for them I was a cross between Ivan Mikhailovich and Matvey Nikitovich. Everything was wrong, from the apartment number to the spelling mistake in the middle name. It's good that the genders matched. I wrote an application to enter the correct data, for a week the bureaucratic colossus, fans of chicken eggs, creaked. In the new application form, I discovered that my place of birth and street of registration had been changed. Application for a new one. On the third or fourth try, the Adam Kozlevich absurdity machine worked. I received an SMS and I became a Megafon subscriber. Today it’s even scary to remember and believe that I suffered humiliation for so many years.
Now I don't understand the term "loyal subscriber". Well, I don’t understand at all. What good is it to endure the antics of the operator in the form of a forced change of tariff plan or an increase in its cost? And now it’s so fashionable! Remember the trick of “Tele 2”, which openly spat in the soul of the first subscribers who trusted it and risked connecting to who knows what. Writing and swearing is not an option; it wastes time and nerves. There is an effective way - “get off the beach.” The main thing to understand is that we pay money to the mobile operator, and we do not owe them anything. There is not an ounce of moral obligation. The only option is to vote with rubles!
Sometimes, changing operators is beneficial. Why not? A friend of mine decided to leave Megafon, and since he is a heavy subscriber, the green-violet ones began to stir. They offered such a tariff plan that it is impossible to say in a fairy tale, not to describe with a pen. It is clear that he stayed. There is no blackmail or “dirty tricks” in this. You have the right to leave, they have the right (and opportunity!) to persuade you to stay. Why not? This is another reason not to consider yourself obligated to the operator. If a commercial company can reduce your prices by several times (and no one will work at a loss), feel free to act!
If we talk about who is better and who is worse in Russia, then everyone is the same. Of course, in each specific location there may be problems with a specific operator. It's easy to check. But in general, companies differ only in service and prices. Moreover, these are not constants. Over the weekend, the “leader’s” network collapsed once again. A friend of mine was unable to download e-tickets at the cinema. And miraculously I wasn’t late for the session. Who now dares to talk about the reliability of Megafon? Why should we endure, not for the first time? This is food for thought.
One more nuance that is worth paying attention to. There are just over four traditional operators in Russia. . Always, in order to lure subscribers, they are offered freebies and cheap prices for a couple of years. Why not take advantage of this? Here Sberbank in St. Petersburg offers free minutes, free Internet, no monthly fee. If you want to save money, let's go. The virtual operator Tinkov will launch by the New Year. Knowing , I am sure that its operator will dump relative to the market.
Or an offer of a bank card from Megafon. Before going to the supermarket, you can top up your balance and pay for purchases with a free card. The operator will give you 10 megabytes of Internet for every 100 rubles, and your bank will credit you with legal cashback. Doubly profitable! What are you risking? You won't keep extra money on your balance sheet, will you? By the way, if a card is connected to an account, then mobile commerce is blocked on it, and you will get rid of annoying subscriptions to all sorts of paid nonsense.
While operators are fighting for the market, an ordinary subscriber will be able to save a lot of money, or not pay for communications at all for a couple of years. This was the case with the Tele2 program, which was called “Svoi”. Without particularly bothering, doing ordinary things, you could accumulate much more than the monthly subscription fee. One of my friends, a friend, did not pay a penny for two years, actively using the Internet and voice communications.
Always, if a competitor’s tariff plan or promotion is successful, neighbors in the market try to repeat it, further reducing the prices on offer. One of them has run out of freebies, let's move on to the one who offers a better deal. We don't owe anything to anyone, remember?
Recently, the number of unpleasant news related to mobile operators and their services has increased by an order of magnitude. This is due to new tariff plans, which have resulted in higher prices for communications and mobile Internet. Fortunately, sometimes operators deliver not only bad news, but also good news. Such news includes promotions and advantageous offers that allow you to save on communication services or even not pay for them at all. Thus, the largest mobile operator MTS provided its subscribers with the opportunity not to pay for their tariff plan.
Of course, to use the tariff for free, you will have to meet several conditions. They are quite simple. First, the subscriber needs to apply for an MTS Smart Money bank card. In the future, to completely free yourself from the subscription fee, there are several methods to choose from. The first is to simply keep a certain amount of money on the card account. The second is to make ordinary household purchases using the card - you can pay with the card for anything, from groceries in the supermarket to orders in online stores. Once you spend more than the specified minimum, you don't have to pay for the tariff.
The monetary amounts in both the first and second cases differ depending on the selected tariff plan. So, to use the Hype tariff for free, the subscriber needs to keep 50,000 rubles in his account or spend more than 10,000 rubles from the MTS Smart Money card. But for the more expensive “Smart Unlimited+” tariff plan, you will have to store more - 70,000 rubles, and you will have to spend twice as much - 20,000 rubles.
However, such a system is not available on any tariff plan, but only on those specified by the operator. These included Smart, Smart+, Smart NonStop, “Smart Unlimited”, “Smart Zabugorishche”, “Our Smart”, “Hyip”, “My Unlimited”, as well as a separate option “MTS Tablet”.
The MTS Smart Money card itself acts like a standard bank card. After a one-time payment of 199 rubles, the card is serviced for free. The card also has one nice feature that sets it apart from similar ones - an absolutely free notification system, available by default. You can forget about monthly charges for mobile banking services - you won’t have to pay to find out who transferred you, how much and from where. You can apply for a card at any Mobile TeleSystems company store; you just need to have your passport with you. Moreover, the entire registration process will not take more than 15 minutes.
Many may be concerned about the issue of commission when withdrawing money from an MTS Smart Money card through an ATM. However, MTS has provided for everything here too - there is no commission at all through their branded ATM. Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that MTS has provided a truly advantageous opportunity for subscribers who decide to switch to the MTS Smart Money card and make routine purchases with it or simply keep money in their account.

More than 80 million people use the services of the MTS mobile operator, most of whom live in Russia. Almost all of them pay him certain amounts of money every month for communications, mobile Internet and other services that allow them to always stay in touch or gain access to various kinds of services. However, the other day this operator allowed all its subscribers not to pay at all for Internet traffic, voice services and SMS messages.
The MTS operator has launched a promotion called “Choose Your Lifestyle!”, which allows you to get a 100% discount on many popular tariff plans. Subscribers who use the Smart, Smart+, Smart NonStop, “Smart Unlimited”, “Smart Zabugorishche”, “Hype” tariffs or the “MTS Tablet” option can take advantage of such a generous offer. The offer is unique in its essence, since no one else can currently offer anything like it.
In order to avoid paying for communications and mobile Internet in Russia at all, you need to become the owner of an MTS Smart Money card. Don't worry, this is a debit bank card, not a credit card. You will not have to pay for servicing a bank card, but you will need to pay a one-time fee of 199 rubles for its issue. The SMS information service is provided absolutely free of charge.
In order to use any of the most popular MTS tariff plans for free, even if it is already in the archive (not available for connection), after receiving a branded bank card, you need to spend certain amounts of money with it or, which is much simpler, just put it on it a certain amount of money. For example, if you constantly have more than 50,000 rubles on your card, you won’t have to pay for phone maintenance at all. The exact conditions are in the table below.
From such conditions of service, everyone benefits – the subscriber and the operator himself. The first one does not need to pay for his tariff plan at all, that is, he can receive mobile Internet and communication services completely free of charge. The second one puts the Russian’s (his subscriber’s) money into circulation (unnoticed by him), as a result of which he earns a little money from it. If desired, at any time, all money from the MTS Smart Money card account can be withdrawn without commission at one of the branded ATMs, of which there are several thousand throughout Russia, so there is no risk.
