M-TAG via А1

A1 in cooperation with the Public Enterprise for State Roads (JPDP) provides electronic toll payment service in Macedonia, using an M-TAG device.

To be able to use the service, you will need an electronic M-TAG device, available for purchase at A1 stores.

How does the M-TAG device work?

The M-TAG is placed on your vehicle, on the inside of the front window (the windshield), and allows you to pass through toll plazas without stopping. When the vehicle approaches a toll booth, a transponder registers the specific M-TAG device and opens the ramp automatically. The M-TAG service is only available at lanes marked with the M-TAG mark, which is usually the far right lane.

How to purchase an M-TAG device?

For all A1 postpaid mobile and fixed service customers, the M-TAG device is available based on a 24-month installment plan, for only 49 MKD/month, by conveniently adding monthly installments to customer’s A1 monthly bill. The device is also available for purchase based on a one-off payment of 1,199 MKD.

Instructions for properly placing the M-TAG device

  1. Insert the M-TAG device into its case, by sliding it completely into position.
  2. Make sure that the surface behind the front rearview mirror on your vehicle’s windshield is clean and dry before placing the M-TAG device.
  3. Peel off the protective paper strip from the adhesive tape on the back of the case.
  4. Attach the M-TAG device horizontally onto the windshield, right next to the rearview mirror or behind it. Press and hold the device against the glass for around 10 seconds. The entire adhesive surface must be in contact with the windshield so the device can be attached securely.

  • A single sound signal: the M-TAG device has been successfully read, the payment was successful (there is enough balance).
  • Two sound signals: the M-TAG device has been successfully read, the payment was successful, but the remaining balance is insufficient to make the next payment (the device needs topping-up).
  • Three sound signals: The M-TAG device has been read successfully, but no vehicle has been detected on the traffic lane. The payment was unsuccessful.
  • Four sound signals: The M-TAG device has been read successfully, but the payment has not been successful (e.g. insufficient balance, blocked device etc.).
