MTS received an explanation in the form of corrected news on the official website and unconventional quarantine of secretaries who wrote the news.

I bring the full news here, the important is highlighted.

November 10, 2009

Since November 10, 2009, the connection scheme is simplified and the cost of the Locator service changes.
Now, to add a subscriber to the list of numbers whose location can be determined, it is enough to send an SMS message to the short number 6630 with the text ADD <NAME> <NUMBER>, indicating the telephone number of the subscriber whose location you want to determine.

Example: DOB Favorite 89161234567
The subscriber whom you want to add the list will receive an invitation to your phone with the indication of your number. After receiving from the added subscriber consent to determine its location - the number will be successfully added to your list.

Now requests to manage the service — registration of numbers on the location list, agreement to include your number in the list — is made free of charge. Only successful location requests are charged.

From November 10, 2009, the cost of a location request is 10 rubles *.
You can save the previous cost of requests and even reduce it by connecting one of the request packages:
20 requests, cost - 100 rubles.
50 requests, cost - 200 rubles.

I’ll say right away that I don’t belong to the MTS, it’s just my operator and I wondered if I should change my SIM card to another one, as it turned out, no.
