Check the number you called from

MTS's home region is the territory in which a service agreement was concluded with the cellular provider. Within this area, the consumer receives preferential tariff conditions for voice communication, SMS correspondence and mobile Internet. When traveling outside its borders, the subscriber will automatically be subject to national roaming conditions. In this case, without installed optimizing options, the use of communication services becomes expensive. In this article we will show you how to save money when traveling around Russia.

Home region what is it

When concluding a service agreement and connecting to a tariff plan, we first consider the features of geographic pricing. Typically, in the home region, the provider provides preferential payment terms and fixed prices for mobile communication services. All prices are indicated in the manual for each offer from the operator. This definition is an area on the map of the country - a locality or region in which the user has signed a contract with the Mobile Telesystems company.

You can see the exact boundaries on the map of the signal reception area. It is located on the provider’s official website in the help tab. Please note that once you leave your home network, national roaming begins to apply. Therefore, before traveling to another region, we recommend installing additional services and attractive offers on your SIM card to optimize costs. An interesting situation occurs with users who live in neighboring communities. The mobile device will receive a signal from base stations in the registration area and from towers in neighboring regions, and therefore the tariff will change.

Saving options for traveling around Russia


The high cost of mobile communications outside the home region is due to the fact that the provider has to cooperate with other companies and attract neighboring branches of the organization to provide high-quality reception. Therefore, in order to save money, the operator implements special offers for traveling around Russia and the world, after activation of which the user receives preferential rates for voice communication, SMS correspondence and mobile Internet.

Before setting off, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the specifics of the provider’s services in a particular region. Help can be obtained on the official website.

Attention! The article lists prices and features of services for the Moscow region. In other areas, the cost may vary and may not be as described. Find out information from the provider in your locality.

The home region in MTS is a limited territory in which you receive preferential terms for paying for cellular communications. The article looked at how to use home packages of calls and SMS messages outside your home region. Do not overpay for mobile communications when traveling around Russia.

Have you personally encountered messages that preferential subscribers have called you? Perhaps you have heard about similar situations from friends, but don’t know what it means? In fact, there is nothing special or secret here. Many people at one time received an SMS saying that they could activate a service called VGP preferential MTS subscriber. In turn, the operator explains that the option is completely free (there are no subscription fees or service activation fees). Within its framework, very significant discounts are provided on communication between participants in certain closed groups. Who needs and benefits from this?

So after all, VGP is a preferential subscriber from MTS, what is it? In fact, this is a specialized option from the operator that allows owners of large companies, enterprises, and all kinds of commercial establishments to optimize their costs for mobile communications. Activation in this case is carried out at the initiative of the customer, i.e. responsible person.

It is necessary to understand that a closed group of users (or preferential subscribers) is a special service for corporate clients, where each user has their own benefits. It allows the company and its owner to combine all the numbers of the organization’s employees into a separate group. In this case, no one limits the maximum number of numbers that can, if necessary, be entered into a separate group. Naturally, within this group, communication benefits are provided, and therefore this option is also called “preferential subscribers”.

Within this group, subscribers receive the following benefits:

  • communication between employees within the group is free and unlimited;
  • you can connect a closed group for individuals and legal entities;
  • optimization of costs and control over misuse of corporate communications.

In this case, the option can be activated for any owners of a line of corporate tariff plans from the MTS operator.

Additionally, you need to understand that the Closed User Group will be useful for companies that have quite a lot of employees. In cases where employees must constantly be in touch with the office or control room, this communication system will come in handy more than ever. For example, it is extremely important for employees of service organizations, security companies, delivery specialists, drivers and many other professions to constantly stay in touch with each other. In this case, combining them into a closed group would be the optimal solution.

The PPP option allows the organization's management to control communication costs and will prevent anyone from using a work mobile phone for other purposes. In addition, companies are offered special corporate tariff plans with more favorable terms of service. Thus, within the PGP the cost of calls will be quite low.

At the same time, the PGP makes it possible to combine two different types of subscribers into their network: “closed” and “privileged”. The first implies that subscribers have special federal numbers in the format 8 - 911 - 03xxxxx. Those who have such numbers are able to communicate on preferential terms exclusively with subscribers within this network. Subscribers can also receive additional services: “bill details”, “waiting/holding”, “bill delivery”, etc. Data can only be transferred within the network (the Internet is not available). So-called intranet roaming is available at standard MTS tariffs.

The second category of HRT participants have standard tariffs from MTS. At the same time, they have access to HRT and their own number for outgoing calls with the corresponding numbering. If you wish to receive such a number, you must write a special application. Remember that all “closed” subscribers must be merged into one specific personal account dedicated specifically for this purpose. If you need to connect such a subscriber number, you should contact the MTS Key Customer Service Center. You can do this by calling 0990 or (812) 703-9393. You can also ask your personal manager about this.
