Making international calls using the MTS operator

To get the opportunity to communicate easily with friends and colleagues living abroad, subscribers should activate roaming on MTS and focus on the “Favorite Country” tariff plan, which provides profitable calls in a specific country. To start using all the functionality of international mobile communications, the subscriber must activate the “International Access” service.

MTS Roaming and the specifics of its activation

There are two ways to provide roaming in foreign countries, such as Thailand, Egypt, Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, etc. The first option is simpler and more accessible; it involves making calls and exchanging text messages. The second option will cost the subscriber more, but in addition to the services listed above, it will allow the subscriber to use mobile Internet and other useful services from the operator.

Activating international roaming is quite simple. To do this, you must perform one of the actions listed below.

1. The subscriber can independently visit the MTS company salon, and the employees of the mobile communication salon will require the subscriber to provide passport data to identify the owner of the number.
2. The second method involves using the “Mobile Portal” service, which allows you to activate the “Easy Roaming” package by sending a message with a code "111" to the number 2157 . The same operation can be performed using the combination "*111*2157#" and call buttons. If the user wants to get more opportunities when making calls abroad, he can activate the “International Access” service by dialing the USSD command "*111*2193#", or connect the package tariff “International and national roaming and international access” with the command "*111*2192#".

How to find out about connecting and disconnecting MTS Roaming?

Recommendations for optimal use of Roaming from MTS

Existing tariff plans allow subscribers using roaming to open up savings reserves and maintain a positive balance when making calls within and outside the country. For example, by activating package services, a subscriber can receive voice calls for free and actively use available SMS for communication, while the cost of services will be charged in accordance with the terms of the package assigned to the number.

Despite favorable conditions for making calls and sending messages, mobile Internet in the roaming zone is quite expensive, so subscribers can buy a local SIM card to access the network. And to prevent accidental connection to the network, you should disable GPRS roaming on the card or use the “Easy Roaming” tariff plan, which does not provide Internet access. It is worth remembering that you can register a number in the network of a foreign mobile partner operator manually. This will allow you to start enjoying all the benefits of roaming as quickly as possible.

Subscribers using this service must correctly dial the number in international format. For example, for calls to the territory of the Russian Federation, the number must begin with the combination “+7”.

Even while abroad, subscribers can receive free information support from call center employees by calling +7-495-766-01-66 .

For those who constantly travel or are engaged in an activity that may involve frequent movements around the country or the world, it is especially important to know about the conditions for the provision of roaming services. In order not to lose all the funds from your balance and not to find yourself in a foreign city or country without mobile communications, understand in advance the cost of MTS roaming services, and we will help you with this.
