Since 2011, the principle of SMS billing in the network of MTS (Russia) has been changed. The operator combines the concepts of authorization and service types of messages into a common group - SMS Service messages and introduces batch billing for them. The cost for transactional SMS is also 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.

As part of the package pricing system for SMS service messages, the full cost of the package is charged when the first SMS message in the package is sent. Billing is carried out for SMS messages sent in one calendar month to one unique subscriber on behalf of each sender, is not summed up for all names of the sender of the client and is calculated individually for each recipient of messages..
