It is free incoming and outgoing calls that are the main feature of the Zero Without Borders option. If you need calls and the Internet, as in the home tariff, then connect "Zabugorische".

I, like most of MTS subscribers, I go abroad mainly to have a rest, and I can easily get by only with calls, and the Internet is now available in most hotels and restaurants. Therefore, I consider Zero Without Borders to be the most necessary and convenient roaming option for MTS and I always use it on trips.

In general, the terms of roaming services are as follows:

The subscription fee for using the "Zero without Borders" option is RUB 145 per day; The fee is charged daily at the time of your home region, regardless of which country and which time zone you are in.

In popular countries

Be sure to disable the option if you are not using it!

Pros and cons of the "Zero Without Borders" option

pros

• 45 minutes of outgoing + 45 minutes of incoming calls per day will be enough for most subscribers on trips and on vacation (I do not take into account those who travel abroad on business trips, they usually have corporate rates with their own conditions);
• 145 ₽ per day - quite a humane cost for roaming;

Minuses

• Changing the conditions of the option, taking into account the simultaneous closure of the Free Travel service, namely the rise in price from 95 to 125 rubles, and then up to 145 rubles, associated with the addition of outgoing calls (previously there were only incoming calls), not everyone will "like". Many, leaving on vacation, arranged with family and friends to call them and it was convenient. Now there is no such choice: connect only incoming and / or outgoing messages. The operator needs money, and more;)
• The list of "Popular" countries does not include, for example, Belarus and Azerbaijan, and many of our compatriots travel there.
• The option is not automatically disabled when returning to Russia. I didn’t trace it - the money was withdrawn from the account.

Eventually

Even after such significant changes, I consider the inclusion of the option "Zero without borders", which is called "must have" (mandatory) when traveling on vacation to countries that MTS designated as "Popular". 145 ₽ per day will help you simply forget that you are roaming in another country and practically do not limit yourself, within reasonable limits, of course, in communication.

I don't see any point in comparing the prices for calls with or without connecting the option. In general, there is nothing to compare 45 + 45 minutes of unlimited, and everyone can see the cost of calls on the MTS website.

MTS option "Zero without borders": how to connect or disconnect

You can activate or deactivate the service in the following ways:

• In the personal account on the operator's website (instructions for registering a personal account);
• Through the mobile application "My MTS";
• Using the command *111*4444# .

Let me remind you once again about the importance of timely disabling the option, because without performing the deactivation procedure, the daily subscription fee will be charged even when the subscriber returns to the home region.

And one more thing: in case of activation of the Zabugorishche service, the Zero Without Borders option will be automatically deactivated, since these roaming offers are mutually exclusive.
