The largest cellular operator MTS offers many tariff plans and additional options, but there is a fairly large audience of people who are used to communicating on the phone quite a bit, and are not used to using the Internet. We are talking about older people - pensioners. What tariff plans will suit them so as not to pay for services they don’t need and minimize the cost of cellular communications?
Let's consider several tariff plans that correspond to such parameters as:
- No or minimum subscription fee.
- Lack of a large Internet traffic package.
- Per-minute or per-second charging for outgoing calls.
MTS tariffs for pensioners without a monthly fee
For customers who do not use smartphones, service packages that include unlimited Internet and SMS messages are unprofitable. People of retirement age rarely use these opportunities. For them, calls are more important, and the conversations themselves often last several minutes.
Therefore, MTS tariffs without a subscription fee for pensioners are the optimal solution.
The telecom operator offers 5 of the most convenient and economical offers for seniors: Red Energy, “Per Second”, “Super MTS”, “Your Country” and “Guest”. Each MTS tariff plan has features, advantages and disadvantages.

Red Energy
The main condition of this offer is per-minute billing: the client pays as much money as he spent. Advantages - no monthly fee, fixed, low price for calls in your city or region. Cons: inconvenient conditions for using the Internet, high cost of SMS.
Pensioners rarely send messages and use instant messengers. For them, the MTS Red Energy per-minute tariff is one of the most economical and suitable.
Terms of payment:
| Services | Cost, rub./min |
| Conversation with a subscriber in your home region | 1,6 |
| Calls to another city: | |
| to MTS numbers | 5 |
| to phones of other operators | 8 |
| SMS | 1,9 |
Second-by-second
This offer helps save money for those who make frequent short calls. The tariff plan takes into account every second of the conversation. With the more common per-minute billing, the operator charges for 1 minute, even if the person spoke on the phone for 30 seconds, overspending is inevitable. The cost of outgoing calls is 5 kopecks/sec., SMS messages are 2 rubles.
The advantage of this tariff plan is the absence of a subscription fee.
The disadvantages include expensive SMS and the inability to connect to the Internet without activating the option. You also need to take into account that 1 minute of conversation costs 3 rubles. It is very expensive compared to other tariff plans and is not suitable for those who like to talk for a long time.

| Communication with subscribers of other operators | 2,5 |
| Inside the network | 1,5 |
| SMS messages | 2 |
The advantages of the tariff are free talk time and low cost of outgoing calls to MTS phones. The offer is beneficial to pensioners who constantly make on-net calls. The main disadvantage is the expensive communication with clients of other operators. For those who frequently make such calls, this option is not profitable.
Your country
The advantages of this plan are the absence of a monthly fee and the ability to make inexpensive calls to other regions of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. This is convenient for older people who travel or communicate with loved ones living in other cities or states.
Another plus is the low cost of communicating with subscribers who use the same tariff.
Cons: Expensive messages and internet traffic.

Tariffs without monthly fee
It is not for nothing that proposals that do not include mandatory payments are classified as pension tariffs. As a rule, this category of people does not use anything other than voice calls. Therefore, it is important for them not to pay for unnecessary services. Sometimes mobile phones are also used to send SMS, but more often, they still communicate through conversation. Let's look at several plans that allow retirees to save on communication services.
Second-by-second
The advantage of this tariff plan is its actual payment. That is, if the user ended the call, for example, with a time of 5 minutes 26 seconds, then he will pay exactly for this duration of the call. On other plans, only the first 3 seconds of a call are free of charge, and all other calls are rounded up to the nearest full minute.
This MTS tariff is beneficial for those subscribers who spend little time on calls. The cost of one second of connection within your home region is only 5 kopecks.
For a full minute, the cost is quite high – 3 rubles/min.
The following rates are provided for written communication:
- To the numbers of your subject - 2 rubles;
- For subscribers living in other cities and regions - 3.8 rubles;
- To other countries - 5.25 rubles.
To contact clients of your operator from other regions of Russia, you need to pay 5 rubles per minute, and for communication with subscribers of other mobile companies in the country - 14 rubles per minute.
When a tariff is activated, the user is connected by default. According to its terms, the client is provided with 10 free messages every day for 2 weeks. After the end of the test period, a subscription fee of 5 rubles per day begins to be charged from the account. Charges will be made until the option is disabled by the subscriber himself.
To deactivate the function yourself, dial *111*9009# on your USSD device. Re-connection is not possible, since the option is activated only when switching to a tariff or during the first connection to the operator and the “Per-Second” plan.
Internet is provided and paid for per megabyte. For 1 MB of transmitted or received information you must pay 9.9 rubles. When activating a tariff, the subscriber is provided with options to save traffic:
- When Internet consumption is less than 3 MB, it is activated. It gives a 100% discount on traffic usage within the quota;
- When consuming more than 3 MB - “SuperBIT Smart” with daily payment.
Super MTS
Another tariff without monthly payments that is suitable for pensioners is “Super MTS”. According to its terms, the client receives 20 minutes of unpaid communication with MTS subscribers in his home area every day. The same package also includes minutes spent on calls to landline numbers. Starting from 21 minutes, the cost of on-net calls to home telephones will be 1.50 rubles/min, and calls to short phones cost 2.5 rubles. Calls to other local subscribers have the same prices. The cost of intranet calls within Russia will be 5 rubles per minute, and connections with users of other operators in the country will be 14 rubles.
All messages sent within a home subject cost 2 rubles/SMS. To send a letter to another city you need to pay 3.8 rubles. SMS to numbers of international operators will cost the most – 5.25 rubles/pcs.
As with the “Per Second” plan, when switching or connecting to “Super MTS”, the client will receive the “SMS Smart Package” with 10 free daily messages for free for 15 days. To access the Internet, “MiniBIT” and “SuperBit Smart” are activated, depending on the amount of traffic used. If additional services are not connected, then the cost of 1 MB will be 9.9 rubles.

The tariff was created to reduce the cost of international connections. This plan allows you to make low-cost calls to countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States and Asia.

The Internet is provided on conditions similar to previous offers: 1 MB of traffic for 9.9 rubles; options "MiniBIT and SuperBit Smart".

One MB of transmitted or received data costs 9.9 rubles. Within the “MiniBIT” or “SuperBIT Smart” options, traffic is not charged within the quota.
This tariff plan is classified as a specialized offer, as it is created for smart devices. "Mayak" does not involve making voice calls, but only data transfer, fax and video communication. The cost of these types of calls to MTS numbers at home is 1.5 rubles/min. Calls to other local telephone numbers, including landline ones, will cost 3 rubles/min. Calls to other cities within a single operator cost 5 rubles, and to numbers of other mobile companies 14 rubles/min.
The cost of messages is:

Internet is one of the cheapest on similar offers. The price for 1 MB of transmitted/received data is 4.5 rubles.
Tariff "Active pensioner"
The offer differs from the previous ones in that it has a small mandatory payment amount - 99 rubles. This amount includes unlimited intranet communication within the home subject.

In excess of the established volume, the cost of connecting to home clients of other operators will be 2 rubles/min. On-net calls within the Russian Federation above the package have the same price. To communicate with clients of other companies in the country, you need to pay 14 rubles per minute.

Tariff "MTS Social"
The MTS Social tariff plan was once again opened for free connection on June 26, 2020. True, the tariff was again hidden far away - in the archive list - so that pensioners and their relatives would not accidentally find out about its existence. But let’s not judge rashly; perhaps MTS is a very modest operator and is simply embarrassed to show off its generosity.
The subscription fee for the social tariff is really modest compared to current prices - 180 rubles per month (Moscow and the Moscow region). But the range of services for this amount is not so large:
- Unlimited calls to MTS numbers within your home region.
- A package for 100 minutes for calls to numbers of other operators within the region (not spent on MTS).
- 100 SMS to any numbers within your home region.
- 1 GB Internet traffic.
If the subscriber uses up the provided packages or decides to call to another region, the following prices will apply:
- Calls to MTS numbers throughout the country cost 2 rubles per minute.
- Calls to numbers of other operators outside the package - 3.5 rubles per minute.
- Calls to numbers of other operators throughout the country - 6 rubles per minute.
- Any SMS outside the package - 3.5 rubles.
- When you exceed the provided traffic limit, a new 500 MB package is automatically connected for 99 rubles.
- Applications, including “Yandex Navigator”, “Yandex Maps”, “Yandex Transport”, “Yandex Trains”, “Yandex Parking”, “Yandex Flights”, remain unlimited under any circumstances.
When connecting to the MTS Social tariff, you will have to present either a pension certificate or a certificate of disability. It is worth considering that the conditions of “MTS Social” may vary greatly from region to region; full information can be found at this link among the archived tariffs called “MTS Social”. Don't forget to set your place of residence correctly.
