MTS, default settings as a means of extracting additional profits
Each of us, after connecting to the mobile operator receives a set of messages from the operator with the settings necessary for normal operation. Among other things, GPRS, Wap and mms settings are sent.
To my deep regret, today it turned out that MTS uses these functions as a means of additional monetization, namely, under the guise of GPRS settings, it sends wap settings.
What we get as a result in detail without going into the settings for the time being: we get a connection under our name called MTS GPRS, under the guise of which lies a much more expensive WAP
Compare:
To deceive a user by giving false settings under a different name and get a benefit of 270 rubles for an absolutely identical amount of transmitted and received data, a good business?
UPD: Dear Habrasoobshchestvo, do not you think that this kind of activity (which is used in biline as it turned out in the comments) falls under the Criminal Code article like “Inaccurate provision of information for profit”?
UPD2: Dear MTS representatives, that they are present at Habré (although it may not be so, which will be quite regrettable) do not want to comment on this situation?

Compare:

- 1 MB of wap - 280 rubles
