Unlimited access to popular sites and applications is opened by the “VNet” option, which can be connected to any of the current tariffs.
The “VNet” option is designed for those who are used to communicating a lot on social networks, sending not only text messages in instant messengers, but also exchanging video files, as well as short audio recordings. Users of the option will receive unlimited access to the social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, instant messengers WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Snapchat, FB Messenger, Tam Tam, MTS Connect. The list of unlimited services also includes the online broadcasting application OK Live and the Twitch website, which specializes in live broadcasts of computer games.

MTS Vice President for Marketing Vyacheslav Nikolaev:
Vyacheslav Nikolaev
We see that user behavior on social networks and instant messengers has changed greatly over the past year. High-quality 4G networks and low prices for smartphones in our retail allowed MTS customers to use video almost everywhere, uploading stories or broadcasting live broadcasts on Facebook, Instagram and VKontakte, and made it common to send audio messages on WhatsApp or a video call on Skype. MTS is the only one that allows Russians not to limit themselves in using many popular formats of communication with loved ones on any of the tariffs: after the cost is reset to zero, you can watch videos or stream for as long as you want and not be afraid that there will not be enough traffic.
New users of the “Smart Unlimited” and “Smart+” tariffs will not have to specifically activate the option or pay additionally for it - it is already included in the tariff plan. On other tariffs, the “VNet” option can be activated through self-service systems; the subscription fee for it will be four rubles per day and will be charged daily.
How MTS reset traffic to popular resources
For the first time, MTS completely reset Internet traffic to the popular Runet social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook in March 2016. Six months later, the volume of traffic in these social networks per subscriber almost doubled - users began to spend more time on social networks, watching videos, listening to music and scrolling through friends’ feeds. In November 2016, it reset the traffic when watching films, TV series and videos on YouTube, Amediateka and a number of other popular video services.
As you know, MTS, like most other cellular operators in Russia, offers its customers tariff packages with a truly impressive amount of Internet traffic only for a fairly high price. Of course, this is unpleasant, because not everyone wants to spend too much on communications, and with modern content consumption, gigabytes on the Internet are flying away one after another.
Convenient, necessary option?
Yes!No, sir!
Fortunately, MTS has developed a separate “VNet” option, which allows you to almost completely solve this problem.
Brief video review of the MTS “VSeti” option
"VSeti" from MTS: detailed description
Perhaps, having heard the name of this option, you thought that it would activate additional traffic for the subscriber, which should be enough for active use of the mobile Internet for a month.
In fact, the “VNetworks” option provides subscribers who connect it with the opportunity to use all popular social networks and instant messengers in unlimited mode.
That is, when using social resources, traffic counting is simply disabled, and the quota provided within the tariff plan remains untouched.
Some will say that this service does not at all replace real unlimited, but if you believe the statistics, most subscribers spend the provided Internet traffic largely on viewing pages and content on social networks, as well as communicating in instant messengers. Thus, by activating the “VSet” service, the lion’s share of the traffic that was previously spent on viewing such resources will be saved, and, most likely, within a month subscribers will not be able to use up their available gigabytes.
List of sites with unlimited access using the “Online” option
The list of services and sites to which MTS subscribers are provided with unlimited access within the “VNet” option is as follows:
For unlimited viewing of videos on YouTube, MTS has a separate option “Unlimited YouTube”, and if you need complete unlimited, you can use the “Lots of Internet” service or connect to the Tariffishe tariff plan.
The list of available services is impressive, and once again proves that when connecting to a service you can use a standard web quota. However, you can even use a tariff plan without providing traffic or with a small number of megabytes per month of use.
By the way, since we are talking about tariffs, it should also be noted for which TPs MTS subscribers can activate the “VNet” service. The service is available for connection and use on all current MTS tariff plans, except for the “Hype” and “MTS Tablet” tariffs. For subscribers of the “My Unlimited” and “Smart Zabugorishche” tariffs, it is activated by default and is provided in Moscow completely free of charge, in St. Petersburg for 5.00 ₽ per day.
It is noteworthy that even if you watch videos or listen to audio recordings on social networks such as VKontakte, for example, the user’s traffic will not be written off. However, it is important to understand one thing - often on the Vkontakte website content from YouTube, RuTube, etc. is embedded in video windows. If you view such content, traffic will be calculated according to the terms of the tariff plan used.
It is also worth noting that the conditions of the “VNet” option remain relevant only when using the services of Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Twitter, instant messengers, etc., through official optimized applications and full-fledged versions of browsers. That is, if you go to OK or VK, for example, through the Opera browser in data compression mode, the calculation of used megabytes will continue as usual. In addition, traffic will be counted when updating official applications for using social networks and services, which is periodically carried out in the AppStore and Google Play stores.
In addition, traffic counting will be enabled even if resources are viewed through browsers with Incognito mode enabled.
Cost of the “VSet” service from MTS
As we have already said, for subscribers using the “Smart Zabugorishche” tariff plan, this option is offered for use “out of the box”, or according to the standard, and it is available for use for free. But not all of the operator's customers face a similar fate, and if you use a different package, you'll have to pay. However, for the benefits that open from the moment the option is activated, price 4 rubles per day doesn't seem that high.
How to connect the MTS “VSeti” option
Of course, having heard about the appearance of this new innovative option from MTS, as well as having read its description, you probably thought about connecting it. Fortunately, this procedure is very simple and almost instant. The operator did not bother with the many connection options, and suggests doing this by entering one simple USSD command: *345# . The option is activated instantly.
However, after digging a little into the settings of your Personal Account (registration instructions) or the My MTS application, you can also find the treasured switch that activates this option.
How to disable “On the Network” from MTS
If you subsequently think about disabling the VNet service, you can do this using a USSD request *111*345*2# , in the “My MTS” application or the subscriber’s personal account on the MTS website.
The largest mobile operator MTS offers favorable conditions for cooperation. You can get a free package of minutes and internet by connecting to one of the Smart tariff plans. Regardless of the benefits, not all subscribers stick around for long, moving on to other unique or new offers. How to disable the Smart tariff on MTS? To do this, check out the current options and choose the most convenient one.
The range of tariff plans implies a fairly large package of free minutes and traffic. For this you have to make a mandatory payment of 450 rubles every month. To connect to a tariff plan that includes a free Internet package, you don’t need any special knowledge: send an SMS to number 111 with the content - 8888 or by entering the USSD command “*111*1024#”.
Before turning off the tariff, check out all the possible options and choose the one that suits you best.
In any case, changing the tariff involves connecting to another one.
Options for disabling a tariff plan
Disabling is carried out using the following methods:
- Through your personal account. First you need to register in the system. In the “Services and Tariffs” section, you should disable the current tariff plan by deactivating the SIM card or replace it.
- Via 8800 Help Desk Operator. A company employee will help solve any information or technical problem. It is enough to tell him the phone number, code word and purpose of the call.
To disable the tariff plan, you can also simply block the SIM card. You can send a message to number 111 containing the following text: 2163. In this case, there is no need for the balance to be positive, since the service is free. After the tariff change or deactivation occurs, the subscriber will receive an SMS notification containing all the necessary information.
Additional ways to disable Smart MTS
For three popular tariff plans from MTS, from December 5, 2013, the company provided a new package for using the short message service “SMS Smart Package”. Whether users need it in our time with the widespread use of instant messengers is up to you to decide. SMS is becoming a rare form of communication, but access to the Internet is not always available, and without it, software messengers do not work.
The largest operator is positioning the new service as a “Free SMS package”. Let's look at what the Smart SMS service is, how to connect and how to disable the service.
The Smart SMS package can only be connected to the “Super MTS”, “Red Energy” and “Your Country” tariff plans. It is valid only when you are in the operator’s home service area.
When purchasing or switching to one of the specified tariffs, you are given the opportunity to use the package to send 10 SMS per day to any mobile numbers in your service region free of charge for the first 15 days of using the option. After 15 days, the option becomes paid and will cost the user who connected it 5 rubles per day of use. The fee is charged on a daily basis. Messages sent after the limit has been reached are charged according to the basic rate.
Connecting and deactivating the service itself is free. It is activated automatically when you connect or purchase one of three tariffs: “Your Country”, “Red Energy” or “Super MTS”.
If the user has sent less than 3 messages within 15 days after activating the option, it is automatically disabled.
Interaction with other options
The Smart package we are considering excludes the purchase or activation of other options and packages with preferential use of SMS.
Disabling the option
How to disable the SMS Smart package on MTS? It can be disabled using one of the following options:
- By logging into your account on the operator’s portal using the link https://login.mts.ru. Use the “All connected services” section in the “Service Management” menu, there you can find the corresponding item and refuse the option.
- In the main menu of the My MTS application, on the “Services” tab, go to the “My Services” subsection and there find the necessary item to cancel the service.
- With the help of a consultant by calling the operator's technical support number 0890 (for MTS users) or by calling 8 800 250 08 90 (from numbers of other cellular or landline operators).
- By contacting a consultant during a personal visit to the operator’s salon or their office.
- USSD command from your device. Dial *111*9009# and call will disable the option for you.
- Using SMS command 9009 to recipient 111, sent from your phone number.
Messages sent to the recipient by 111 while in your service area are free. When in roaming, you are charged according to the standard roaming conditions of your tariff.
After canceling the connected option, you should receive an information message on your device confirming the termination of use of the service.
Important! Such an action as disabling the Smart SMS package can be performed only once. The service will not be provided again!
We reviewed the automatically connected option from the largest Russian operator. Despite big statements about free messages when using the option, they are free only for 15 days after activating the tariff and only within their service region. And only 10 pieces per day. Most often, the impression arises that MTS is counting on the forgetfulness or inattention of subscribers, under one pretext or another, by automatically connecting pseudo-free options, packages and services to it. So be careful about your expenses and debits from your account when using mobile communications. Feel free to consult with the operator more often and control your option in the subscriber’s Personal Account on the website.
