The cost for transactional SMS is changing, while the charging principle and the cost of promotional SMS remain unchanged..

Also, starting from the specified date, the monthly subscription fee for the sender's name and the client's template for sending SMS messages to the MTS operator's network are being changed..

The new price is indicated on the website on the Tariffs for the MTS operator (Russia) page.

With batch billing, the cost of messages is determined depending on the volume of short text messages sent in the interests of a specific sender's name, and is not summed up for all the names of the sender of the client, and is calculated individually for each recipient of the mailing list..

The cost of an SMS (package) is charged for each first SMS message sent as part of the package per month to each subscriber on behalf of the sender's unique name.
