C date of Moscow MTS tariff plans of "Jeans should be available in the service GPRS. A few days ago, GPRS and MMS have already begun to connect to the "Jeans" in some regions, information on relevant segments of the federal network of search in "News" section at the regional sites of MTS. 
Preparing for a long time, the result will soon estimate
The absence of packet data services (GPRS) in the portfolio of modern GSM operator is not even funny. The fact that the GPRS service have been deprived of "only" two thirds of the MTS - small consolation. Finally, after numerous promises of "soon-soon!" GPRS MTS "Jeans" and appears like a full mobile Internet will be available not only to contract subscribers. And Jeans-slogan "All at once!" can be safely changed to "At least not right away, but still!". At the end of last year in an article on holiday operator's initiative, we wrote about the possibility of zanachit "Christmas" SIM-card for the future GPRS on prepaid-MTS tariffs. Now, the most prudent and thrifty get about 50 megabytes of GPRS-traffic for 49 rubles - a good investment.According to preliminary data rates for GPRS for prepaid-caller will not differ from the existing rates for contractors, the rates can be found here. Apparently, the "Jeans" will be available and all other services - GPRS-Wap, MMS and GPRS-roaming. Not familiar with the term GPRS can read about this technology here on the website of MTS and at the same time learn that "for the network can use a computer (eg laptop) or an electronic organizer (Palm Pilot, Psion, Cassiopea)." Add from myself: if Psion or Cassiopea purchase failed to fully-pocket internet in a pinch you can use your PDA or smartphone.
Connect GPRS service is already possible via "Internet Customer Service (ICS), the connection is free, subscription fees for the use GPRS while also not detected. Test-drive will not be a commercial operation begins immediately. More precisely, the test drive was, but not all: According to unconfirmed reports March 31 at CCIS for some time to open a connection to those who knew or came across by accident. According to reviews popolzovavshis - GPRS for "Jeans" is quite efficient and yet raises no objections.
According to available information, and some circumstantial evidence in the MTS for this significant event ready to seriously - in particular, has increased the capacity of communication channels between the BS. Subscriber service staff was clearly increased, the last two or three days while waiting for the response of the operator dropped to an average of 20-25 times. Presumably, getting ready to numerous questions on pricing and GPRS phone settings. For our part we are asking not to waste time and energy workers abonsluzhby, most of the settings and explanations for their use is much more convenient to look at the site of MTS here.
While it is difficult to say how many subscribers "Jeans" really want to connect GPRS and actively use the mobile Internet. Accordingly, a separate channel for GPRS-traffic is likely not yet secured, first look at usage statistics. Note that the MTS night GPRS (22:00-08:00) is now much cheaper than full-time, which also contributes to a balanced network load.Current offering of MTS to stimulate new connections Jeans ($ 10 at the expense of meals for 6 months here) at the very least will give Internet users around 60 MB of traffic on the SIM-card for the same 49 p. Main - Zatar sufficient prepaid-sets (for the whole holiday season) and do not forget to activate them until April 30. By the way, according to one of our members of the forum, the mobile phone stores have "more than 5 sets of jeans in one hand, is not given."
It is not clear how to behave with different versions of GPRS billing (at FORIS the "Jeans" translate not yet), but the pricing 17-25 cents per megabyte of traffic leaving a deep minus unlikely. But in any case, to buyers of gift "Jeans" last "filling" is recommended to look for balance, blocked accounts may entail nenachislenie another piece of gift is $ 10.
We wish good luck to the new MTS for the company mass GPRS-market, and all of its subscribers - nimble and bug-free mobile Internet. We hope we have nothing wrong and all the information above will receive an official confirmation.
