The option optimizes communication costs during domestic roaming - throughout the country outside of its republic, territory or other subject of the Russian Federation (Moscow and the region are considered one region).

The option is available for use on all plans except Ultra, Smart +, Top, and the Business Without Borders corporate line. It cannot be added to the number simultaneously with some old services ("Favorite Country", "Neighboring Regions", "United Country" and their modifications).
Discounts are valid only in the operator's network. In some areas of the Perm Territory, the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansiysk AO, MTS works through a network of partner providers. This is considered national roaming, where tariffication is different and benefits are not provided.
Charges for communication in the networks of these partner operators do not take place immediately: an unpleasant surprise may await the subscriber after the trip is over. Before calling or sending SMS, you should check how the phone works (the screen should indicate MTS, MTS RUS, RUS 01 or RUS MTS). If necessary, you need to manually find and register in the MTS network through the menu of the mobile device.
In addition to the benefits for calls, residents of the capital receive the option “100 SMS to numbers throughout Russia”. When traveling around the country, the subscriber has access to 100 non-chargeable SMS per day to any cell phone. One message is 70 characters in Cyrillic or 160 characters in Latin (sent text can contain more than 1 sms).
