MGTS: Free change of tariff and an alternative long-distance

Times "ridiculous" fee for an unlimited time communication are long gone. The sharp rise in prices for unlimited telephone, the emergence of different tariffs, paid calls on the federal mobile, creeping digitalization of the Moscow exchanges, new services and more willy-nilly MGTS included within the scope of our attention. In addition, the average ARPU of $ 10 can not boast of every mobile operator.

Free change of tariff

Detailed analysis of the existing tariff plans MGTS look here thinking it was about. At one time, we have assumed that the change of tariff plan for a fee of 230 rubles. is a kind of the barrier, is meaningless attempt to avoid paying for "air" while on vacation, travel, travel to the country, etc. Fee for two-shift rate (ie, before release and after it) did cost approximately equal to 1.5 months of unlimited communication without "line rental". Good desire of shareholders to get more money (including the modernization of the network), it was understandable, but in this case strongly resembled imposed on consumers of services. Presumably, this thought came to mind not only to us, and ultimately Russia and Communications Ministry has developed amendments to the Resolution of the Government of Russian Federation № 310 of 18 May 2005 approving the Rules service local, intra-and long-distance and international telephone services. " These amendments will make the ability to change calling plans to provide local telephone services free of charge. We draw attention to the word "local" - to the tariff plans of cellular operators amendment does not apply.

Without waiting for a ruling, the leadership of MGTS announced features of the free change of tariff plan once a month, with more frequent transitions to a different tariff retained fee of 230 rubles. Exact timing of implementation of the application to replace the TA is not known, but the maximum time specified in the Rules service local, intra-and long-distance and international telephone services:

request to change the system of payment for local telephone connections served subscriber not later than 10 days before the end of the calendar month. In this case, the operator changes the data plan from 1 st of next month. If the subscriber has submitted an application after the 20 th of the month, transfer to another tariff implemented from 1 st of 2 nd month following the month of application.

To change the tariff would have to write a letter and visit the local telephone exchange with all the consequences in the form of standing in queues. Ability to remotely change the TA "Dashboard" is not available, but spokesman MGTS Ekaterina Nevsky "secret" told us about the impending upgrade of the remote management of individual accounts in MGTS. Among others expected the ability to change the tariff without a visit telephone exchange.

MGTS is not "Varus"

In Internet forums have repeatedly met the approval of a "postscript" in traffic. Say, add a hundred or pronounced minutes as unobtrusive stimulation unlimited choice of TA. Nothing to say do not undertake, but personal experience and a dozen of those surveyed did not confirm such statements. The last bill from MGTS also did not bring grief, but on the contrary, pleased Clarity.

Directly in the line "Balance advance" prudently deciphered the signs "plus" and "minus", the confusion will not happen.Eternal trouble messages - a data format of a positive balance and debt, to achieve 100% correct understanding is not easy. One may recall USSD-MTS informant, who wrote something like "the balance of your account: - 12.85. There are cases when the care is not negative billing notice and provide a quasi-permanent loan (as long as finkontrol not notice). A user, in turn, did not notice the colon and perceived less as a dash. And rejoiced daily gain amounts on the balance sheet. In the end, a source of errors in the MTS decided to radically eliminate - no, do not think that declared war on the rebellious Bilinga changed the format of the messages on the debt. Now it says "Your Debt: - 12.85. Although the logic and rules of arithmetic debt with a minus sign means the opposite. The problem will be solved by itself for those who will choose a new credit form of payment, as the joke on one of the forums: since I FORIS still offers lending de-facto, it is easier not to argue with him, and to approve the deal officially.

Detailing MGTS caused almost positive emotions, all the numbers agree. Was done two "conditional testing" the call, they Circuits fixed, nothing more has not been assigned. Explanation of detail of the two calls required a magnifying glass and a certain amount of patience, but the worst-first. The desire to save paper? No matter, this is small change. Main - Billing all cheat correctly, and no gag does not add.

Alternative long-distance

We all remember the advertisements of alternative long-distance communications on all poles and bus stops. Despite a massive advertising attacks, the conservative townspeople still gaining rostelekomovskie 8-8452 to call a favorite aunt in Saratov. But what about the alternative operators, in particular MTT? Justice - above all, and MGTS all subscribers sends a separate letter (!) Notification with a detailed explanation of new rules set.
