Description
The old MegaFon tariffs have been moved to the archive, replaced by a line called “Turn on!” It includes 6 main offers with different content. “Turn on! Premium" is the most voluminous, with a large package of services.
It costs 3,000 rubles per month. The fee is automatically charged from the main balance. If the tariff is activated for the first time, the subscriber can pay only half the cost when charging the full volume of services. After 15 days, the rest of the money is written off. From the second month, the subscription fee is charged in full at the beginning of the new billing period.
If there are insufficient funds on the balance to pay for services, then packages will not be credited until the account is replenished. The entire set of offers in the tariff can be used throughout the country.
What needs to be paid separately according to the MegaFon tariff “Turn on! Premium"
Megafon’s “Premium” tariff did not include free MMS, which, in principle, almost no one uses today, especially with unlimited access to instant messengers and social networks. But, if such a need arises, 9.90 ₽ will be written off from the balance. To make calls to other countries you must have at least:
- 59 ₽ (Israel, Türkiye and Europe);
- 39 ₽ (CIS);
- 79 ₽ (other countries);
- 313 ₽ (SSS – satellite communication systems).
When 5000 minutes are over, you should pay 2 rubles for a call to the mobile phone of another operator within the DR, and 3 rubles outside it. And you have to pay the same amount per minute of conversation with the owner of a landline phone (local numbers). MegaFon, on its own initiative, provides an additional package of minutes for a day if the main subscriber uses it up in less than a month. However, it does not apply to unlimited call directions. Its length is 166 minutes, and the price is 100 ₽.
Advantages of the Premium tariff plan
This is one of three plans in the line that offers the subscriber unlimited access to high-speed Internet. Like other tariffs, Premium includes a number of options that help you use communication services more economically.
The "Premium" tariff is part of Megafon's "No Overpayments" line.
Remaining minutes are saved
If the subscriber has not used up the monthly package of minutes provided, he can put the remainder in the “Piggy Bank”.
It will begin to deplete if the user reaches the monthly limit prematurely at some point in the future. The Piggy Bank can be connected free of charge by a subscriber of any of the “No Overpayments” tariffs. Minutes are stored in it for an unlimited time, and the maximum possible number depends on the type of tariff plan. For “Premium” it is equal to 5 thousand minutes.
Calls to Megafon numbers do not consume minutes
Calls to Russian Megafon numbers are not charged. They are provided to the user unlimitedly and free of charge. Thanks to this, “No Overpayments” tariffs are well suited for people whose close friends or relatives are also Megafon subscribers.
Messengers even with zero balance
The user can use the most common instant messengers unlimitedly. This feature remains available even if there is no balance on your account, helping you save money on calls. Like the previous two, this option is included in all “No overpayments” subtariffs.
