Reviews about MTS TV
Yulia, 27 years old, Krasnodar
I have been watching TV from MTS for the third year now. Satisfied with the price and high-quality video content. Depending on my mood, I can order additional traffic packages. I didn’t find any flaws in the personal account interface. Services can be activated in 2 clicks. Payment by card online. Convenient service for modern life. Completely replaced satellite TV.
Nikolay, 45 years old, Chita
I connected the service after showing an advertisement with Nagiyev. I use "Unlimited". The service is suitable for using TV with the whole family. My wife watches TV series during the day, but I prefer football in the evening. Favorable tariff for mobile communications and home television. The basic Internet traffic package is retained in full. Expenses can be controlled in your online account. Payments are accepted around the clock, and connection packages are activated instantly.
Natalya, 35 years old, Tobolsk
I use TV from MTS, although I am a regular Beeline subscriber. I rate the service positively. In your personal account you have access to all options and subscriptions, funds are credited without delay. I liked the “After Midnight” tariff plan the most. They show high-quality films with well-developed graphics. On large plasmas Ultra HD looks realistic. I look forward to adding a section with 3D films soon.
Irina, 21 years old, Vologda
Quality service. In your personal account, the connection price is set and full information about the option parameters is displayed. I use TV on all devices. I have already tried a Chinese TV set-top box, an old Samsung phone, a tablet and a computer. There were no difficulties connecting the option. The price is simply amazing. A good addition to a cellular tariff when you need a TV once a day.
