Recently, MTS provides customers with the opportunity to activate roaming on their own.

So, if you decide that you want to be able to make outgoing calls, send SMS, also receive incoming and SMS at affordable prices, then you have several options.

1. Activate the "International and national roaming" service for free.

Unfortunately, it will only allow you to receive calls and receive SMS. You cannot make an outgoing call. In addition, it is impossible to connect it yourself; you must definitely contact the MTS salon store. Therefore, we recommend that you immediately pay attention to the second option.

You can specify the exact cost of calls and other communication services for any region of the world on the official MTS website in the "Tariffs and Geography" section. But no matter where in the world you go, the payment for calls will be charged starting from the first minute of the call, and the end time will be rounded up. For example, if your call time is 1 minute 32 seconds, then the amount will be debited as for 2 full minutes.

Please note that these two services are available for you to connect if:

• you have been connected to MTS for at least six months;
• your spending during this time on communication exceeds 650 rubles;
• every month you put some amount into the account. That is, even if in one month you didn’t deposit anything into your account, even if you didn’t go into the red, then you won’t be able to connect roaming to MTS in these ways.

3. Activate "Easy roaming and international access 2012" service.

It is available if you have a federal number. Connection / disconnection operations are free of charge. The service will allow you to make and receive calls, actively communicate via SMS, while in another country. A complete list of countries whose mobile operators have become MTS partners and signed CAMEL roaming agreements can be viewed on the official MTS website by opening the "Traveling around the world" section, then going to "Before the trip" and then clicking on "MTS partner networks in countries" (located at the bottom of the page in the "Easy Roaming" drop-down tab).

How to disable international roaming on MTS

To refuse the above services (free of charge), after returning to the Russian Federation, you must first check whether the service has already been disabled. See what plan you have: *111*59# and challenge. If roaming is still enabled and your old tariff has not returned, then use the operation to change the tariff to the previous one. To do this, send an SMS with the numerical value of the tariff to number 111.
