The MTS USB modem is a great way to connect your laptop, computer or any other device to the 3G/4G mobile Internet. The reason for the popularity of USB modems is very simple - absolutely no wires are needed to connect the modem. You simply insert the modem into the USB port of your PC, laptop or router, and enjoy high-speed Internet from MTS. Unlike Wi-Fi, you can use a USB modem anywhere, no matter where you are. With a USB modem, 3G/4G Internet will be available almost throughout Russia, in the same places where there is voice communication MTS. Access the Internet via 3G/4G from MTS with via USB You can use a modem at home, at work, in the country and even on the road. The MTS SIM card, which receives and transmits the 3G/4G signal, is inserted into a special connector inside the USB modem.

Any modem that you can buy in this section of the GSM-Repiters.RU website is guaranteed to work with the MTS network. This has been verified by numerous modem tests by our engineers.


Which USB modem is better - MTS branded or universal?

Are there any differences between universal USB modems and MTS branded USB modems, which can be bought at MTS branded stores? MTS USB modems are actually ordinary universal USB modems from Huawei and ZTE (which you can buy on our website) with the MTS logo printed on them. MTS branded USB modems are configured in such a way that they can only work with MTS SIM cards. This blocking allows MTS to be sure that only MTS subscribers will use the modem. This approach is not very convenient for modern users 3G/4G Internet. And this situation is not even corrected by the price of a branded modem, which is often lower than the price of a Huawei or ZTE modem, by blocking which this branded modem was created. We offer to buy a USB modem without being tied to a cellular operator. You can use such universal modems presented on our website with a SIM card from absolutely any operator. Why is this versatility so important?

  • With a universal USB modem, you can choose the operator that will offer you the most interesting price for 3G/4G Internet
  • When traveling or abroad, you will simply need to change your MTS SIM card to a card from a local 3G/4G operator (if this operator operates in the same frequency range)


Six great reasons to buy a USB modem:

  • 3G/4G USB modem no larger than a flash drive, easy to carry
  • All USB modems in this section of the site are guaranteed to work with the MTS network
  • You can change the MTS SIM card to a SIM card of any other operator, and the USB modem will continue to work
  • The LED indicator on the modem clearly displays the connection status
  • WITH USB installation Anyone can handle the modem - when you connect it to USB for the first time, the modem will install the software necessary for its operation
  • For SIM cards through which the USB modem connects to the Internet, MTS offers special tariffs at competitive prices. These prices differ markedly from regular prices for mobile internet MTS in tariffs for smartphones and phones.


MTS 3G/4G signal is not strong enough?

Distance from towers and MTS and buildings made of shielding materials lead to a drop in the 3G/4G signal level. Such a drop leads to a decrease in 3G/4G Internet speed or makes it impossible to connect to the network. In such cases, we recommend purchasing a special MTS signal amplification system. The easiest way to ensure stable and high-speed MTS Internet on a modem is to connect a compact antenna to it. If this is not enough, you will need to buy a more “serious” system, consisting of a USB modem, a powerful external antenna and special connecting cables. The external antenna will need to be placed in the place where the most stable and strong MTS signal is observed.

MTS modem tariffs are not very diverse, since the provider has focused not on the breadth of choice, but on providing customers with the opportunity to manage communications. As a result, subscribers are able to briefly increase the quality of the connection in order to instantly download an interesting movie or important program to a laptop without encountering difficulties or restrictions.

Currently mobile operator offers clients 2 various devices to access the network on computers and laptops:

  1. Standard USB modem.
  2. A device capable of distributing traffic via Wi-Fi.

An alternative solution would be to purchase routers, the choice of which is noticeably wider. At the same time, the cost of USB modems is 2,600 rubles for a simple, basic offer and 2,900 for a device that supports distributing gigabytes to other devices.

MTS tariffs for 3g/4g modem

Currently, the telephone company offers only 1 tariff plan, which you can switch to voluntarily - “for a laptop”. The rest, no matter how profitable and attractive they may seem, are supplied only in combination with equipment. Subscribers will not be able to switch to them on their own. The above also applies to the Connect-4 plan, available only to a small category of MTS clients.

Connect-4

The mentioned Internet tariff for the modem has been archived and is not available for installation. But people who buy a USB modem and SIM card get the right to use the archived tariff. At the same time economical tariff plan becomes only after activating additional packages (the default is “Internet for 14 days”). After the above-mentioned 2 weeks, the subscriber is asked to activate another option on the company portal.

MTS tariff for modem for unlimited Internet for laptop

As a non-alternative basis for USB modems, the operator offers the mentioned tariff “for a laptop”. It contains:

  • unlimited traffic at speeds up to 4 Mbit;
  • outgoing in your home region – 5 rubles;
  • sending SMS messages – 2.5 rubles.

The cost of a monthly payment is 800 rubles, while the exact amount of communication costs depends on the activity of the person making calls and connecting additional services to increase convenience.

Turbo button

If the user needs to temporarily increase the connection speed, he should activate the Turbo buttons by connecting them through his personal account. They remove restrictions and increase the connection level to the highest possible, within the technical capabilities of the operator. It is important to emphasize that restrictions can be removed (the cost in rubles is indicated in brackets):

  • for 3 hours (95);
  • for 6 hours (160).

The number of renewals is not limited, the main thing is that there are enough funds in the account.

What options can be enabled?

Having understood the basic MTS tariffs for a modem in 2020, you should consider additional services for accessing the network. Such options include:

  • “Internet for a day”;
  • "Mini";
  • "Maxi";
  • "VIP"

All offers listed include advance installed package traffic that can be used with virtually no restrictions.

Option "Internet for a day"

The first offer is advantageous in that it allows you to pay for traffic only on those days when the subscriber actually accessed the network. The rest of the time, no money is spent. At the same time, a person is provided with 500 MB per day, the price of which is 50 rubles. The tariff does not provide for other payments.

But it is important to emphasize that the described service has a significant drawback: it is archived and is not available for activation. Only those who managed to connect in the past, when the mobile operator did not interfere with this, will be able to use it.

Internet Mini

Mini is the smallest and most modest option the phone company offers. It contains only 7 GB of traffic, which is provided to the client for a month. Important positive quality services will become the scope of the package. You can use the allocated limit anywhere in the country; the requirements and conditions of use will not change, and the connection fee will not increase. On international roaming what has been said does not apply.

Internet Maxi

Maxi differs from the MTS tariff described above for a 3g modem not only in the amount of traffic, but also in the presence of additional privileges. The service description contains:

  • 15 GB of Internet traffic;
  • unlimited internet at night;
  • 30% discount on mobile TV from the subscription price.

For all of the above, the provider requires you to pay 800 rubles monthly. The current rules do not provide for other payments, and the cost of calls depends on the basic tariff set for the SIM card.

Internet VIP

The next option, as is obvious from the name, provides users with maximum freedom of action. It contains:

  • 30 GB of traffic;
  • unlimited at night;
  • 50% discount on television;
  • cost – 1200 rubles.

It is important to emphasize that the night period means the period between 1 am and 7 am. It is at this moment that you can use traffic without fear of exhausting the limit.

  1. Through your personal account.
  2. Using the short USSD command *111*3621#.

Before connecting, you should make sure that there is a sufficient amount on the SIM card balance to charge the subscription fee. Otherwise, it is recommended to top up your account with a suitable amount.

Which tariff is better for a modem?

There is no optimal solution that can satisfy all users. This is why there are several large operators in the country, which is why providers are forced to regularly update their tariff lines. Therefore, those individuals who are going to change the tariff set for a SIM card should focus not only on the description of the conditions, but also on their own wishes and needs. This will allow you to make the right, informed decision.

MTS tariffs for a modem for unlimited Internet for a laptop

MTS Internet tariff for modem is provided for use in a laptop. Conditions according to the plan:

  • Unlimited access to all resources is provided. You can use the Internet without traffic restrictions.
  • Speed ​​– up to 4 Mbit/s. A barrier has been installed to eliminate the load on the network.
  • Cost – 180 rubles per week.

The advantage of the program is complete unlimited. The subscriber no longer needs to count the balance of the package and worry about its possible expiration. Therefore, the plan is in demand among clients.

The downside is the speed limit. 4 Mbit/s is enough for the user for various tasks. But it becomes impossible to download large files and watch videos in high definition. Therefore, the plan has shortcomings.

The cost is relatively low. Considering that unlimited access to the network is offered, the price can be called optimal. Compared to packages, many subscribers will save money.

Please note that the laptop plan is not available in all regions. You can check its availability in your region on the operator’s website.

Cost of MTS tariffs for 3G modem

Cost may vary. It depends on the following factors:

If you don’t have the equipment yet, you can buy it from MTS. Several types of devices are presented:

  1. USB modem. It connects to the port of a laptop or computer.
  2. Wi-Fi modem. Its design is similar to a flash card, but it creates a wireless network.
  3. Wi-Fi router. Suitable for use at home or in offices if you need a permanent access point.

It is important that the company does not manufacture its own equipment. She chooses good models from other manufacturers and orders a batch of devices. The MTS logo is applied to the case and a lock is installed to prevent the use of other SIM cards.

The operator sells the equipment at a small premium. It is possible to buy equipment at an attractive price. In the future, the company will receive income from the communication services used.

If desired, you can remove the lock. But this is not an easy process; it is necessary to reflash the device. After this operation, you can use cards from various operators.

As part of this review material, the MTS 3G modem will be considered. This device is universal and can work with both 2G and 3G cellular networks. When connected directly to a personal computer, it turns into a regular wireless modem. But if it functions separately, then it is a portable access point to the World Wide Web. It is this universal and at the same time accessible technical solution and our material is dedicated.

Equipment

The one discussed in this short review has the following equipment:

  1. Mobile hotspot with installed battery.
  2. Warranty card.
  3. Complete user manual in paper form.
  4. A proprietary interface cord, with which this device can synchronize system unit PC or charge via power adapter.
  5. Tray for installing a SIM card mobile operator.
  6. Starter package.
  7. Power adapter.

It should be noted that the above list does not include a CD. But the need for its supply automatically disappeared for the reason that the drivers, control software cellular operator and documentation are recorded on a memory chip integrated into the modem. As a result, there was no need to duplicate this same information on a separate medium. In addition to this, the majority modern computers are no longer equipped with drives for reading information from CDs.

Specifications

The MTS 3G modem with an integrated Wi-Fi transmitter, considered in this review, boasts the following technical specifications:

  1. Wired USB port Designed to charge the integrated battery. You can also use it to synchronize your device with any personal computer and thereby turn it into a regular Internet access point.
  2. List of supported standards cellular communications includes 2G and 3G. In the first situation, the highest speed can be 500 kbit/sec and the device operates successfully in both GPRS and EDGE modes. In the second case, the peak information exchange can already be 7.2 Mbit/s for downloading and 5.76 Mbit/s for uploading and UMTS technology is supported.
  3. The built-in Wi-Fi transmitter allows you to connect up to 5 mobile devices to this modem.
  4. The type of installed SIM card is micro (standard). If necessary, you can put a USIM card in the tray - a card with 4G support, but this will not give much benefit for the reason that in the list of specifications for this mobile device LTE technology is missing.
  5. Time battery life on one battery charge - 6 hours.

Modem functionality

Essentially, this solution can operate in one of two modes. The main one is the mobile point. In this case, the portable router turns into a kind of gateway. On the one hand it is connected to cellular network and with its help exchanges information with the Internet. Moreover, the choice of one or another signal occurs in automatic mode. On the other hand, up to 5 mobile subscribers can be connected to it, and the traffic consumed between them is distributed depending on their needs and capabilities.

An alternative use case is a fixed access point directly connected to the computing system. In this case, the hero of this review exchanges with the cellular network, and the Wi-Fi transmitter is deactivated.

Internet tariffs for MTS 3G modems currently include a fairly large amount of traffic, but their monthly subscription fee is quite affordable. That is, such devices are excellent for widespread use. And both at home and in the office.

Setting procedure

The MTS 3G modem is configured as follows:

  1. Unpack the box and remove the device from it. Then you need to remove the tray from it.
  2. Next we extract from starter pack SIM card We install it in the tray and return it to its place.
  3. We turn on the mobile hotspot and wait for its initialization process to complete.
  4. Using WPS technology, we synchronize consumers and this model of a portable stand-alone modem. After this, the mobile network is configured and ready for use.

In case of connection with a PC, it is necessary to install an additional set of drivers and diagnostic software. Then, using the latter, a connection to the World Wide Web is established.

Checking the functionality of a mobile access point to the World Wide Web

Unlimited Internet, an MTS 3G modem and the presence of a cellular network signal allow you to access the Internet almost anywhere. After the previous setup, you need to check the functionality of the created Wi-Fi coverage. To do this, on any connected device, simply launch the browser and go to any information resource. The Wi-Fi transmitter must first be activated on the latter and synchronized using special WPS technology. Experience shows that today the operator has minimized human participation in the process of setting up the router. Therefore, the likelihood of an error occurring in this case is minimal, and no problems should certainly arise.

Tariff plans

The following MTS tariffs for a 3G modem are currently current:

  • The basic one is “Internet Mini”. In this case, the subscriber receives 7 GB of traffic per calendar month at the highest possible speed. The monthly fee is 500 rubles per month. Upon exhaustion of the previously given limit, 150 rubles will be debited from the account, in return for which 1 GB of traffic will be provided.
  • The mid-level segment is occupied by the Internet Maxi tariff. In this case, the monthly fee increases to 800 rubles, but in return the user receives 15 GB of traffic for the same calendar month. Moreover, from 00:00 to 7:00 the volume transmitted information is not taken into account. That is, 15 GB are used only during the remaining time of the day. If you exceed the 1 GB limit, as before, it will cost 150 rubles.
  • The greatest opportunities in terms of the volume of transmitted data and information are provided by the “Internet VIP” tariff plan. When activated, the user receives 30 GB for a monthly fee of 1,200 rubles. Accounting, as before, is carried out from 7:00 to 00:00. In the remaining time, the amount of information is not limited. If the volume is exceeded, each additional gigabyte will cost the same 150 rubles, which are automatically debited from the subscriber’s account.

Price

You can also buy an MTS 3G modem. And even in new condition. Its price will be only 1,500 rubles. But again, it is no longer possible to purchase it in a company store, but only from third-party companies or individuals. In a used form, its cost will decrease even more and will amount to 500-900 rubles, depending on the condition and degree of wear.

Relevance of devices

Although you can still find an unlimited 3G modem from MTS different users, but now it has been pushed out of the shelves by new devices that are aimed at functioning as part of 4G networks and support LTE technology. In this case, the maximum speed can increase to 100-150 Mbit/sec. At the same time, the price is practically the same. Also, such new mobile routers are backward compatible with 3G and even 2G standards. That is, they are capable of completely replacing the previous generation models.

Therefore, those who use MTS 3G will continue to use them until they become outdated or fail. But when choosing a new access point, experts recommend paying attention to those solutions that can operate in 4G mode.
