MTS Connect: a user friendly solution for mobile Internet access

Moscow, Russian Federation – Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (“MTS” – NYSE: MBT), the largest mobile phone operator in Russia and the CIS, today announced the launch of MTS Connect, a mobile Internet service solution, whereby subscribers will be provided with a modem for their desktop PCs or laptops and a special tariff.

MTS Connect guarantees the Company’s subscribers the means to connect to the Internet in a very simple and easy way: the preinstalled software in the modem automatically makes the necessary steps for work using the Internet. After the installation is completed, a MTS Connect icon will appear on the desktop for launching Internet.

“We are introducing a product with a user-friendly interface and an attractive tariff structure, specifically designed for notebook and desktop users, who require a high-speed Internet connection at their convenience – business meetings, at home, on vacation, on the road, etc. At the same time, in countries where 3G networks have been launched, MTS’ roaming subscribers have been able to enjoy true high-speed mobile Internet. Our subscribers in Ukraine already gave high marks to the service, and we are confident that MTS Connect will be a success in Russia as well,” commented Vice President and Head of MTS Russia, Mr. Mikhail Shamolin.

MTS subscribers will be able to use MTS Connect not only in their home network but also in roaming on GPRS/EDGE/3G networks.

MTS Connect package will include:

  • A branded device (a PC card or a USB modem) with preinstalled software that will automatically set-up the necessary Internet access settings;
  • A tariff plan designed to optimize Internet use and data transmission;
  • 100 Mb of traffic.

The devices are made by Huawei Technologies, one of the leading suppliers of equipment using the 3G/HSDPA technology.
