Packages of Megafon minutes while traveling around the world

Some people often travel not only around Russia, but throughout the world. At the same time, they want to stay in touch with family, friends or work colleagues. For such clients, MegaFon has made an advantageous offer for trips to different countries of the world. After activating the “Package of Minutes” option, the client receives preferential conditions for mobile communications. Calls to Russia will be three times cheaper than with a regular roaming tariff schedule.

The option is intended exclusively for those who have traveled to the territory of Abkhazia. By activating the option for thirty rubles and paying thirty daily, you will be able to communicate (Voice calls and SMS) at the rates that apply to your tariff plan in your home service region.

The option is activated in your Personal Account, through the quick activation form on the website, with the command *541# sent from your device or by sending an SMS with the word “YES” to the recipient 05001149. Valid without time limits, and can be disabled using the same methods, only when sending SMS write the word “STOP”.

Description and conditions

The “package of minutes” is intended for MegaFon subscribers who often travel to different countries around the world. Wanting to constantly stay connected at a lower cost than standard roaming.

Almost all subscribers can connect to the service. The tariff plan and payment terms do not matter. Connection is possible for both individuals and corporate clients. An exception to activating a package of minutes is the “Around the World” tariff offer, which already provides favorable conditions for traveling around the world.

It is recommended to activate the option immediately before leaving the country, since the offer only works in international roaming. It is not valid in Russia. The selected volume of minutes is spent on incoming and outgoing calls only when calling to Russia. There is a separate cost for calls even in Syria, Andorra, and Tunisia.

Price

The cost directly depends on the country of residence, as well as the selected volume. MegaFon offers two packages of minutes for connection:

When choosing 25 minutes, the cost will vary:

1. When visiting CIS countries, as well as Europe, the activation cost will be 329 rubles. After which 25 free minutes are credited.
2. When visiting other countries of the world, the connection cost is 25 min. will cost 829 rubles.

Choosing 50 minutes, the payment will be as follows:

1. To visit the CIS countries and Europe – 495 rubles.
2. To visit other countries of the world – 1429 rubles.

You can get acquainted in more detail with the countries in which this or that package of minutes operates through the website of the mobile operator. It is better to carry out this procedure before leaving the country. When using additional roaming services, connections are checked using the request *105*530#. This request is entered on a mobile phone, then a call is made.

for free calls in roaming

By studying the consumer market, Megafon employees are developing new offers that are suitable for all categories of clients. For subscribers traveling abroad, the mobile operator has developed a special package consisting of free minutes for calls.

To use the option, you need to pay for the package one time. The amount depends on the country of residence and the amount of time provided. Details can be obtained from representatives of the mobile operator.

How to disable?

Disabling is not necessary, because after 30 days it is canceled and the service will not be reconnected. This means that after 30 days the fee will not be charged and the option will be disabled automatically. If desired, users can forcibly cancel the package of minutes. For this we use:

1. A personal account through which you can disable the package of minutes and other unnecessary services.
2. Support service by phone +79261110500 when the user is abroad or 0500 while in Russia.
3. MegaFon communication salon, where employees will turn off the service at the request of the subscriber.

Disabling is free and does not take much time.
