Guests of the Crimean peninsula should know how it works mobile MTS Internet in Crimea. The fact is that at present the quality of mobile Internet in the Crimea leaves much to be desired. The only Russian operator operating on the peninsula is MTS.
What are the tariffs of MTS in Crimea
Since there is MTS in Crimea, people who came to rest in Crimea have two options for receiving the services of this operator.
Namely:
- Use a SIM card that they bought at home;
- Or purchase a SIM card directly in the Crimea.
MTS in Crimea is attached to such a region as "Krasnodar Territory, Republic of Adygea". In order to use the communication services of this operator, you must select one of the Smart tariffs.
There are several tariffs of this type, each of which includes packages of minutes and additional options, such as SMS and others
- The lowest rate is called smart mini, it costs 200 rubles. This package includes 1 GB of internet, 1 thousand minutes within the network, 200 messages. Cost per minute phone numbers, which belong to other telecom operators, is 12 rubles. Incoming calls are not paid. The cost of one message is 1.95 rubles;
- For those people who plan to make calls to phone numbers of other operators, it is recommended to connect a tariff called Smart or Smart unlimited. In the first variant subscription fee will be 350 rubles per month, and the second tariff costs 12.90 rubles in the first month of use. Then the cost increases to 15 rubles. The cost of outgoing calls here will cost only 3 rubles;
- Guest rate. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that here all incoming calls are free of charge and outgoing calls to the same tariff plan are not paid. For other tariffs, the cost of one minute is 1.50 rubles. And calls to another region will cost 3.50 rubles;
- If a network user plans to use the Internet, then he will need to connect an option such as Super Bit Smart. Here, 3 GB per month will cost 10 rubles per day;
- In the case when you need to use a SIM card in Crimea that was purchased at home, you can connect a tariff called “Everywhere at home”. Connecting this option is 30 rubles per day. A subscription fee is also debited, which is 7 rubles per day. The cost of outgoing calls throughout the country will be 3 rubles, and incoming calls are free. Also, 100 free messages are connected to this option.
Network users should be aware that even if they connect an additional mobile Internet option from the MTS operator, this does not mean that they will be able to use the Internet normally. The point is that 3 g no internet, but only 2 g. The data transfer rate is very low, so it will be problematic to open the pages of sites. Even in order to send messages via the Internet, you will need to make several attempts.
Also, users of MTS cellular communications in Crimea note that, depending on the location, the quality of mobile Internet is improving or deteriorating. Moreover, the 3g icon may be displayed on the smartphone screen, but upon use, entering the network is very problematic.
Communication in cities
Also, users note that it is problematic to connect to the mobile Internet in such large cities as:
- Sevastopol;
- Yalta.
The media reported that in 2017 the situation with mobile Internet in Crimea will improve. But how this information accurate will show only the next summer season. Until that time, using the Internet in Crimea was problematic. This applies to both mobile internet and wi-fi networks.
As for phone calls, everything is fine here, so you can use MTS as a telecom operator. MTS has different Smart tariffs, you can choose the most suitable one and communicate freely during your vacation. As for the Internet, it is not known whether the situation in Crimea will improve in the near future or not. Therefore, people whose professional activity connected with constant access to the Internet, it will be problematic to carry out any actions on the peninsula.
In this regard, it is recommended to worry in advance and find out if there is normal internet at the place of residence or not. Because count on mobile devices not worth it. If the hotel does not have a high-quality level of Internet, but it is necessary for work, then you should change the place of stay.
MTS roaming in Crimea: available or not in 2020? A similar question is asked by many people. You need to understand the situation and how to subsequently solve the problems that arise.
The situation regarding the peninsula is ambiguous. Now there is only one operator in Crimea - K-Telecom. Russian companies entered into contracts with him to provide roaming services.
The quality of communication is inferior to both Russia and Ukraine. To access the Internet, second-generation technologies are used. You can access sites only through undemanding browsers, like Opera Mini. Chrome gives connection errors.
Provide communication Russian operators the peninsula cannot. Companies will quickly find themselves under sanctions. What does this mean for them:
- Loss of foreign business. Recall that MTS has a subsidiary in Ukraine.
- Serious losses.
- Problems with the purchase of equipment. Updating and maintenance of networks is carried out using foreign-made equipment.
The risks for companies are too high. Despite the calls of short-sighted politicians, the Government and the State Duma are in no hurry to oblige operators to work on the peninsula. The authorities understand that in this way they will deal a serious blow to organizations, they may leave them without foreign equipment, which will lead to the inability to maintain and improve networks throughout Russia. Unfortunately, in technological terms, the country depends on China, Europe and the United States.
Is there roaming in Crimea MTS?
Officially, the company declares that it has international roaming on the territory of the peninsula. In fact, he is domestic. You can use communication services as when traveling to other regions.
The company does not confirm its presence in Crimea. She does not have her own communication salons and networks. But the operator's SIM cards can be purchased from third-party dealers, in various stores.
With a high probability, the situation will remain the same until the sanctions are lifted. The operator made it clear that as long as there are restrictions on Crimea, the company will not create a network on its territory.
The company can be understood, experts support the decision of Russian operators.
It is necessary to separate patriotism and business, weigh all the risks and make an informed decision. Companies are too likely to have problems.
It would be right for the state to create a domestic operator and build a network in Crimea. But it all comes down to hardware. Russia does not have its own equipment production, and foreign companies do not want to supply equipment for use on the peninsula.

The mentioned issue is still in limbo, as modern telephone companies are in no hurry to offer their own services to local residents. This situation is caused by a lot of reasons, but in general, the refusal to spread the cellular communication network to the territory of Crimea is explained by economic and political motives.
The situation will not change in the near future, and therefore, subscribers who decide to visit the Black Sea resorts in 2020 should think in advance about choosing the optimal billing and connection additional services reducing the cost of communication.

The first thing that users need to know about MTS roaming in Crimea is the unwillingness of the mobile operator to cover the mentioned topic. There is practically no information on the company's website on how to connect to mobile network on the territory of the peninsula. But, if you search more carefully or contact the staff contact center, it turns out that roaming is available in the specified region. But it is not international, but national. Consequently, options that allow reducing the cost of services must be available for traveling around the country (“Everywhere at home”, “Home package Russia”).
Communications and mobile Internet will remain available without activating add-ons, but their cost will be higher than usual. Special options are required not to provide the subscriber with communication, but to reduce the cost of basic services, so users need to think in advance which connection option to choose.

Moreover, support staff will activate the option chosen by the caller if he informs them of such a desire.
MTS tariff in Crimea in 2020
Special tariffs for the Crimean peninsula mobile operator is not provided, so people who decide to relax on the Black Sea coast should not waste their own time looking for such offers. 
But it is worth taking a closer look at the available connection for all Smart tariffs(including "Tariffishche") of the "Zabugorishche" option. It allows subscribers to use pre-allocated service packages available to users both within the country and abroad. According to the main conditions of the mentioned service, customers will have access to:
- 7 GB of Internet traffic;
- 350 minutes of outgoing calls;
- free communication within the network, regardless of the location of the interlocutor;
- 350 messages;
- unlimited access to social networks.
The packages listed are subject to a weekly subscription fee. The services themselves, respectively, are updated every week, and therefore the above should be enough to complete all the actions planned by subscribers.
An alternative solution can be the “Russia + Home Package” option, which allows you to significantly reduce the current rates for communication.
Roaming connection
Users wondering about the operation of MTS in the Crimea and roaming (whether or not in 2020) should not worry about connecting the mentioned service. The tariffs provided by the telephone company include roaming in the list of basic services available on each SIM card. The exception is situations when the user independently disables the option through the personal account. In such cases, reconnection is indispensable. You can restore the disabled option in your account or mobile application companies. 
Given that roaming does not need to be activated, subscribers should activate the add-ons already described above to reduce the cost of outgoing calls and the Internet.
It will not cause difficulties and connecting to the network on the territory of the peninsula. MTS does not have its own radio towers, so users will have to join the telephone company's partner networks. This usually happens automatically, but if it doesn't, users will have to:
- Go to phone settings.
- Find an item mentioning available networks.
- Update list.
- Choose the right one.
- Save the changes.
Nothing extra is needed.
Shutdown
Disabling roaming does not make sense, since the service is provided free of charge and is basic. But, if the subscriber is determined to refuse the service, he will be able to disable it in his personal account in the section with a list of active options.
Much more relevant will be the deactivation of options aimed at reducing the cost of cellular communications. They work in any region, therefore, if the client does not deactivate them on their own, money will continue to be debited from the balance of the SIM card, regardless of how much the user needs add-ons more actively. The order of deactivation depends on the connected add-ons and can vary more. The exact methods of shutdown should be clarified on the website or with the company's consultants. An alternative, universal solution would be to disable unnecessary services through your personal account.
