Cellular communications with the ringing name “Motiv” appeared on the operator market a very long time ago. Having started under the brand of another company, Motiv soon began to operate independently. The number of subscribers of this cellular service is increasing every day. The number of tariffs that network users happily accept is also growing.

Meanwhile, despite actively informing subscribers, some users, especially those who have recently joined this operator, have many questions about connecting to services. A particularly popular user question is how to connect to the Internet on Motive. Of course, you can dial their company phone number (111) or contact a communication salon.
