You need to tell the employee what you want to do and give him your phone. The whole operation takes no more than 10 minutes. You will be notified of the completion of the operation via SMS.

By activating the service, you will be able to receive incoming messages for 10 minutes free of charge while roaming. After ten minutes, the call will again become paid, but no one bothers you to reset the conversation and call back again. At the same time, starting from the 11th minute, the conversation will cost you 5 rubles per minute (prices are indicated at the time of writing, check them before connecting the service). It is also worth remembering that this service does not apply to Uzbekistan.
When connecting zero without borders, prices for outgoing roaming will also change:
- 25 rubles per minute for the first 5 minutes of conversation and 15 for subsequent ones. But this is for the CIS countries; for other countries the prices will be different (it is better to look at the lists of countries on the MTS website, since they also tend to change).
For all these benefits you will also have to pay a subscription fee of 25 rubles per day. In addition, the “zero” applies only to 200 minutes per month, after which incoming calls will cost 5 rubles per minute. To find out how many preferential inboxes are left, you need to dial the USSD request “*419*1233#”.
You can enable this option in several ways:
- visit to an MTS branch;
- call the MTS operator (you can from abroad, the call is free);
- USSD request;
- through your MTS personal account.
The first two methods are simple, but may not be available if you have already left the country. The request “*111*444#” activates this service anywhere, if the mobile phone was able to connect to the network. And the Internet assistant will allow you to connect it without errors, but mobile Internet in roaming is also becoming very expensive, so it is better to use the services of an Internet cafe.
