MTS Belarus Sparks Outrage with Unilateral Tariff Plan Changes

Minsk, Belarus – June 6, 2025. Belarusian mobile operator MTS announced changes to its tariff plans, causing widespread concern among its subscribers. Starting June 10th, several popular plans, including the widely used "Bezlimitnye" plan, will be discontinued. Subscribers will be automatically switched to alternative plans, often costing significantly more. One subscriber commented, "They're forcing us onto plans that are twice as expensive without even asking! It's outrageous." The lack of prior consultation and the substantial price increase have sparked outrage. The company has yet to issue a detailed response to the public outcry. The incident highlights the ongoing debate about consumer protection and transparency in the Belarusian telecommunications market. The situation underscores the need for clear communication and fair practices from mobile providers.
