Internet XS Megafon: description of the tariff, how to connect, disconnect

MegaFon is implementing the Internet XS option for corporate and private users. This is a traffic package for accessing the World Wide Web, which is suitable for those who do not surf the web around the clock, but periodically log in to read messages, find out news, use online banking and check email.

When accessing the network via MegaFon, the user receives 70 Megabytes of online traffic daily without any restrictions on connection speed.

When connecting to Internet XS, each subscriber pays the full package for the first month, but from the first day of the next month, the subscription fee is debited daily and the service is renewed automatically. Each Internet session within this tariff plan is rounded up to 250 kb.

Detailed description

“Internet XS” from MegaFon is the youngest and simplest option in the entire line.
But, nevertheless, the option provides people with the opportunity to use high-speed Internet for the optimal amount. The service includes a subscription fee, which is debited from the balance daily. Also, for a fee, clients receive 70 MB of traffic daily. This volume is quite enough for the full use of the electronic mailbox, the use of social media. networks, as well as various chats. There should still be enough traffic to watch the news. It is worth noting that there is no speed mode in the option. Accordingly, 70 MB will be used at maximum speed for certain regions. But if all traffic is exhausted, access to the Internet is suspended until the next megabytes are added. Also, if all the traffic for the day has not been used, then it will be canceled and a new one will be added. The remaining volume is not carried over and is not added to the new day.

The service operates exclusively on your home network. So, when crossing the borders of your region, a different tariff for the megabytes used will begin to apply. The service also applies when switching to a new tariff. Naturally, if this service is supported at the tariff. The option will not work in conjunction with other Internet services that are connected separately from the tariff.

Feedback from service users

On the World Wide Web, users leave different opinions and reviews about this option, which provides an additional package of mobile traffic. We have selected some typical reviews and provide them for your review. They show how profitable and high-quality this operator option is.

Ekaterina : The Internet plays an important role in people's lives. Today it is no longer possible to live without him. You need it at work, in life and for fun. Without the Internet, I’m like without hands; I use it every day. On Megafon I selected the Internet XS . It connects to the number that I bought at the salon. 70 megabytes is enough for me for a day, and there is still some left. The service is convenient because you can check your email, chat with friends in instant messengers, and view the news. This volume is not enough to download music and movies.

Philip : This is an affordable version of the Internet option from Megafon, it includes 70 MB per day without speed limits. I think the advantage is that after the end of the package the speed decreases, but access is not blocked. The option fee suits me. This option is not suitable for a computer, since the package is small. You can use it on a tablet or phone, but when watching a video, the traffic will end quickly. This option can be called “slow unlimited”.

Sergey : I’ve been using the option for more than 6 months, I connect Wi-Fi at home, mobile traffic on the street. In the Saratov region, after the end of the package, the speed drops to almost zero, the Internet does not work. This is the main drawback of the service; the speed should not drop to zero. This option is suitable for those who have little money and who monitor traffic consumption.

Oleg : I connected the “ Internet XS ” option a year ago, it suits me. I pay the subscription fee on time, and the package provided has never suddenly ended. Enough for me to view news and email. I recommend to everyone.

Kirill : When I connected the service, I didn’t study the conditions, they seemed immediately attractive to me. I don’t like that the money for activation was immediately withdrawn, every day they write off money for the subscription fee, it would be better to charge for a month.

Option cost

The “Internet XS” option is provided to customers for a subscription fee, which is charged on a daily basis and amounts to 7 rubles/day. But such payment terms begin only from the second month of using the service. In the first month, customers will need to pay a subscription fee of 190 rubles. The amount will be written off one time and in full. There are no other payments for the option.

If Internet traffic runs out

If clients have used the entire amount of traffic provided, then for each subsequent megabyte the payment will not be debited. But access to the network will stop, and the speed will drop to 64 Kbps.

Additionally, you have the opportunity to use the “Extend speed 1 GB” or “Extend speed 5 GB” service. This service allows you to resume surfing speed, and you can choose from 1 GB of traffic or 5 GB of traffic for monthly use. With the onset of a new day, the accrued 70 MB will be used, and the volume provided for the service is suspended and begins to operate again when the package traffic is exhausted.

How to check the remaining megabytes

When using the smallest package of services from this family, you should control its consumption. This will allow you to stay online at the right time and not spend additional money. To check the remaining Internet traffic, you can use the following methods:

The simplest is to send a request to the operator using a set of characters and numbers *558#. After making a call, all detailed information will be provided on the phone screen. The verification process takes just seconds.

If it is more convenient to use a PC to check your balance, then you can use your personal account on the MegaFon website.

Also, to quickly view the remaining megabytes, you can download a mobile application to your phone, through which you can view the data on the SIM card.

Connection options

It’s worth connecting Megafon Internet to your mobile phone because the company’s coverage covers almost the entire country, providing access to the 3G and 4G network even in the most remote corners. Before making a connection, first decide which tariff is right for you. The provider specifically provides unlimited access under different conditions - connection packages depending on the client’s needs.

In order to choose the one you need, we use several basic criteria:

speed – determines the amount of data transmitted per second. There are currently no restrictions on this option and you will be given the fastest available speed;
traffic is the most important criterion; it is the main one in choosing a package for connection. The amount of traffic is the amount of information you downloaded or uploaded. If you want to watch movies online or download something, choose a larger package;
subscription fee – the cost of payment for a month of using the service;
price and speed above the limit are secondary parameters, necessary for those who have not decided on the choice of package or accidentally overused traffic;
a service called “Extend speed” - if you want to continue using the network with unlimited speed, it is paid separately from the package.

Once you select a package, you need to activate it on your device, and there are several easy ways to do this.

Online mode

This is one of the most convenient connection methods. Do not forget that to activate the tariff, you need the order amount in your mobile account. You can top it up using a bank card or via bank transfers via the global network, without leaving your home.

If you can “go out into the world” from your home computer using one of the connection options of Megafon or another provider, you can go online to the company’s official website.

Follow these steps:

open your browser and go to the Megafon website;
click the “Internet” button in the top menu of the site;
in the drop-down menu, select the required item, in our case “Mobile”;
indicate your region of residence (if the region was selected automatically, but incorrectly, you can change it in the drop-down menu);
click the “Connect” button next to the package you need or use the “Select Option” function, which will help you make your choice;
check whether the required amount is in the account according to the selected tariff plan (activation is free, upon prepayment for the current month);
You can activate the function online only by logging into your “Personal Account” on the website.

“Personal Account”, in addition to the tariff activation function, contains many useful options, such as detailed viewing of expenses, quick tariff changes, latest top-ups and security settings.

SMS messages

There are situations when you urgently need to connect or disconnect access to the world, change your tariff plan or “Extend your speed”, but there is neither a computer nor access to the network nearby. Then “SMS requests” sent from a mobile phone will come to the rescue. In order for these options to be available to you, you must activate.

Access to control via SMS messages is absolutely free and does not require any additional settings. The service is provided on the official website in the “Personal Account” by selecting the self-service system.

Option “Internet XS” Megafon – description and connection

“Internet XS” from Megafon is the simplest option from a well-known telephone company, allowing customers to use virtual services and visit their favorite sites without spending large sums of money. True, the volume of available traffic will turn out to be insignificant, since no one will offer clients unlimited data for little money, and therefore users will have to correctly calculate the consumption of megabytes and remember that the package can quickly end.

"Internet XS" Megafon - tariff description

The main thing that people who decide to connect to the service need to take into account is the list of devices with which the tariff is compatible. It can only be used on smartphones. Connecting to the World Wide Web on tablets and modems is impossible and makes no sense, since the allocated traffic limit will not be enough to fully use such devices.

Detailed description

If you pay attention to the detailed description, it turns out that the proposal contains:

70 MB of traffic per day;
available for use in your home region.

The tariff does not provide anything additional. In this case, the cost of the option will be 190 rubles for the first month. After which payments are charged on a daily basis. The subscription fee is 7 rubles, which will be debited from the SIM card balance, regardless of the amount of MB spent.

Additional services for the tablet

Special attention is paid to the fact that, unlike larger-scale offers, the described one not only does not contain any additional conditions that subscribers need to know about, but is also not available for connection on tablets. It should be emphasized again that the “Internet XS” tariff from Megafon is designed specifically for smartphones and is incompatible with other devices.

Additional services for the modem

Everything said above also applies to modems. The tariff plan is intended exclusively for mobile phones and will not be available to modem owners. They should think about connecting to a tariff with unlimited traffic, so as not to worry about quickly exhausting the limit allocated by the operator and to constantly maintain the ability to use virtual services via cloud storage.

Compatibility options

The service is not compatible with all options, so in some cases subscribers will not be able to connect. Typically, difficulties arise when including other Internet-related offers. Therefore, in order not to encounter difficulties, the mobile operator advises visiting your personal account and checking the availability of XS there. An alternative way to obtain the required information is to call the contact center.

If there is no traffic

When the allocated traffic limit is exhausted, auto-renewal is automatically enabled. It contains 115 MB and costs 5.5 rubles. When the additional package is exhausted, subscribers are required to renew access to the network independently.

It is important to emphasize that the additional package expires at the end of the current day. The remaining megabytes are not carried over to the next reporting period and are simply burned out.

Checking the remaining megabytes

There are several ways to check the remaining megabytes in the “Internet XS” option from Megafon:

visit your personal account on the official website and get up-to-date information there;
use the mobile application;
dial the special USSD command *100*3# and press the call key;
call the hotline and clarify the necessary information from the consultant who answers.

However, the telephone company recommends using the first two approaches, as they are more reliable and convenient.

How much does it cost to top up your account with additional megabytes?

Replenishment service	price, rub. in view of VAT
Extend XS speed for a day	19
Extend speed by 1 GB	175
Extend speed by 5 GB	400
Auto-renewal (restore to 200 MB)	30

Note! Prices shown may vary by region. You can find this information for review in the rules for connecting additional high-speed traffic packages on the official website of the Megafon operator.
