Pilot project launched in 21 MTS stores in Moscow
The Russian operator MTS announced the launch of a new service called Share It . As the press service promises, the Share It subscription service will allow users to change their smartphone to a new one every year. Moreover, subscribers of any operators can use it.
The program involves devices costing from 5,000 rubles to 122,000 rubles – a total of about 25 models of Apple, Xiaomi, Tecno, Realme, Samsung and Honor brands.
You can subscribe to a smartphone by filling out an application on the website. After its consideration, you must pay for the first month of the subscription, and then pick up the smartphone in any of the available stores. After 12 months, the user can exchange the device for a new one, buy it back, continue paying for the subscription for another six months, or stop it by handing over the smartphone to MTS.
MTS launched Share It – an annual exchange of smartphones for a new one for subscribers
The subscription price is calculated according to the following scheme. The cost of the device is divided by 18 months of subscription and a monthly payment is calculated. For example, for a smartphone worth 76,500 rubles, the monthly payment will be 4,250 rubles.
At the end of the year, the user will pay only 51,000 rubles of them, but will already have the right to exchange the smartphone for a new one. The remaining 25,500 rubles will need to be paid if there is a desire to buy a smartphone. In this case, the balance can also be made gradually over six months. For example, a subscription to the iPhone 14 Pro Max 128 GB will cost 6,778 rubles a month.
The pilot project was launched in 21 MTS stores in Moscow. Until the end of September, Share It will gradually appear in all stores in the capital, and by the end of 2023 – in all regions where MTS operates.
