How to disable the paid services of MTS

Mobile phones have long ceased to be an indicator of the high status of their owners. Now they are related to essentials, and each family member has his own "pipe". Prices for phones have decreased, tariffs have become more diverse and profitable, which allows you not to limit communication with friends and family.

However, in the pursuit of profit, cellular operators began to offer additional paid services, and every day they become more and more.

Subscriptions and paid services from MTS

One of the leading mobile operators is MTS. The list of paid services for this company is extensive: "Gudok", "You called", "News", "Anecdotes" and about two dozen different subscriptions or options. If you connect any paid service, then automatic payments start from the balance account in favor of MTS. And this will happen until the subscription or option is disabled.

Many users think that if they did not connect anything, then there is nothing to worry about. But this is not so. MTS very often holds special promotions: the client receives an SMS message about the free connection of a service for which no funds will be charged within a specified period, for example, one month. And then the subscription is regularly written off money from the balance. That's why most customers are interested in how to disable the paid services of MTS, and not how to get additional applications and options.

Fraud or business

In fact, mobile operators, and in particular MTS, impose paid services on us. The calculation is very simple: the client will like the new features, or he will safely forget about them, but the money will still be written off from the account. Can this be considered fraud? From the point of view of the company's lawyers, no. When concluding a contract with a mobile operator (purchase of a SIM card), the client agrees to certain conditions, and binding to an additional services number corresponds to these conditions.

Also, users need to learn to distinguish between subscriptions and "subscriptions". There are additional services provided by mobile operators, and there is an information mailing from paid Internet resources. In the latter case, MTS is only an intermediary, and finances are written off for providing weather forecasts, a daily diet menu, integrated methods for pumping the press, etc. Internet subscriptions are more suitable for the definition of "fraud", but not always. There are normal resources where the user can immediately get acquainted with the list of services and prices and make an informed choice.

Where to find out about subscriptions

Before you turn off paid services MTS, you need to know exactly which of them are tied to a particular SIM card. To do this, send an SMS message to the short number 8111 with the number 1, if you want to get a list of paid services, and with the number 0, if you need a list of free subscriptions. When sending an empty message or SMS with any other text, a list of all additional applications and options is sent to the number.

This is not the only, but the fastest and most convenient method.
