New line of MTS: good rates low does not happen?

New line of MTS: good rates low does not happen? First impression - many, too many of the new tariffs. As many as 16 pieces. You can save money on periodicals, a couple of evenings a fascinating read is enough. And what about workers subscription service to learn it all by heart? And dealers who barely had time to realize / adopt new TA megaphone with their cherespolosnoy billing, and here a new attack in the form completely updated line of MTS? But the first impression was deceptive, the new tariffs as much as it was old. Just a variant of "All at once" total change slightly baffle. Speaking of "All at once," Where is the promised new "jeans"? They are no more, gone. More precisely, we multiply, renamed and merged into a new overall portfolio. This is really a surprise, brand Jeans seemed eternal and immutable. Try to understand the latest offers, all prices are in USD VAT.

"Trousers turn ... turn pants ..." (c)

New prepaid-tariff now five. The names of more or less telling: "Basic", "Yesterday," "Universal", "All our", "Be practical." Sorry well-advertised brand-Jeans, a common word in the title of your previous prepaid-rate work by some unifying core. Now this common core is not. Perhaps the union of all the TA under the MTS brand was conceived as a radical way once and for all get rid of a slight taste of inferiority denim tariffs. They say there are "real" rates of MTS, as is the "Jeans" - a product of simpler, cheaper and of lower rank. Now everything will be different from now on prepaid-users (and those more than 80%) could walk with head held high. By the way, at the same time abolished another common name - fares with no monthly fees, in two out of five new TA fee to appear. So what can we say otherwise: a new block tariff incorporates the former "Jeans" and "Optima".

"Simple" prices (the former "Jeans" and "Optima")

If I understand the idea of ​​marketing, trading will only half-finished product called "baseline" from which the user is asked to prepare a dish to your taste by free transfer to one of the four other TAs. Interesting idea. It seems like we order a kebab restaurant, and we bring a smoking brazier and a piece of raw meat. Someone may come himself, "Basic" but there will obviously be a bit of subscribers, 18 cents on the city and 15 on the mobile is not very inspiring. Why this came up? Most likely, the actual elimination of a single free moving to another tariff. Formally, a free passage remained, but now it is in most cases will be consumed immediately after the acquisition of "basic" semi-finished product.

Have a free three-second threshold on the input and output (not for calls to fixed-line phones in Moscow region), free caller ID, ​​and declared before March 1, 2006.Why - is unclear, because 95% gratuity AON-and will be extended after that date. Apparently, the continuation of "Jeans-open" will not be in the new unit prepaid-rate connectivity service "all incoming free" is not visible. Option of per second billing from the beginning of the conversation in all TA abolished as a class, everywhere there was only per-second billing with a 61-th second.

Briefly about the rest of the block tariffs.

  • "Universal" - a replica of the Super-Jeans, a single price of $ 0.16 for all outgoing calls.
  • "All of his" - has risen in price "Jeans 007. More precisely, did not formally become more expensive, but uniformly changed to 2 cents. Here are just a practice ... In the old "007" vnutriset / city was $ 0.07/0.25, for "all their" was $ 0.09/0.23. Given the fact that this rate is mainly used for intranet communication - the bad news.
  • "Yesterday" - a new word in the prepaid-tarifostroenii MTS. For $ 2.49 monthly fee, you can connect three favorite numbers (only numbers are allowed to love in the MTS network) and call these three numbers by 3 cents per minute, all the rest coming for quite emotional $ 0.19 per minute. The first connection "favorite" numbers are free of charge, but all subsequent changes in numbers - at $ 0.50 per transaction.
  • "Be practical" - another Revamped hypostasis Jeans 007. Local calls - $ 0.21, intranet within the Moscow region - $ 0.06, to MTS phones outside the Moscow region (Warning) - $ 0.09. Would look like an attractive alternative to the old "007", but confuses subscription fee of $ 1.99 per month.
Summary: cheap calls to regional MTS (Jeans 007) abolished, as well as super-cheap vnutriset on weekends (Jeans, Hot "). All cheapened cheaper in exchange for the appearance of license fee. "Be practical" looks really practical for those who make many calls to phones within the MTS in the Moscow region.

"Professional" - a new line of tariffs with free minutes

Pleases wide selection of federal tariffs with options 30, 150, 300, 800 included minutes, although obviously demanded option with 500 minutes for some reason is only available for TAs with direct number. And the TA with the city numbers are rather big "hole" after the lightest fare: 30, 500, 800, 1300. Appeared free Caller ID (indefinitely) in all rates and free incoming from the mobile networks of other operators. Supposedly $ 33 a month to the tariff "Profi 30" with dialing can activate "Open" and eventually for about $ 50 monthly fee to get all the free incoming and 30 free minutes of outgoing traffic. Failed to detect a 50 percent sample discount (eliminated?), 15% discount on local calls in exchange for a year of loyalty remained.
