MTS has announced the launch of a new service: from now on, subscribers can connect one or more virtual numbers for various purposes - for example, registering on dating sites, posting sale and purchase ads on specialized Internet resources, spam protection when filling out a questionnaire for receiving a discount cards, etc.
Virtual numbers have a familiar format. They can be used for incoming and outgoing calls, as well as for sending and receiving short messages (SMS). A virtual number does not require a new SIM card to work, instead it requires any active MTS SIM card, the MTS Connect application and an Internet connection via Wi-Fi or via a mobile network.
Subscribers can connect up to five virtual numbers. Moreover, if necessary, any of these numbers can be made ordinary by applying for a SIM card at an MTS salon or ordering its delivery to your home.
Using a virtual number costs 49 rubles per month. When paying, 99 rubles will be debited from the subscriber's account: 49 rubles - for the service itself, 50 rubles will remain on the personal account of the new number. Calls to MTS subscribers are free and do not consume minutes from packages connected to the number. The rest of the calls and SMS are paid according to the "Per second" tariff, which after connecting the service can be changed to any other.
Initially, the new service will be available to subscribers from Moscow and the Moscow region. In the future, the service will work in other regions throughout Russia.
