It is difficult for a modern person to imagine his life without mobile phone and without the ability to make calls at any time from anywhere in the world. In addition, the mobile operator MTS provides its subscribers with very favorable tariffs. On the this moment are the most popular tariff plans with a subscription fee that includes a certain number of calls, SMS, and Internet traffic.

And not always the user has the opportunity to replenish the account through the terminal or using an electronic wallet. In this case, the best solution would be to send beacons from MTS. This service allows users to send messages with the text "Call me back" absolutely free of charge even with a zero balance.
