Option “Internet Tablet XS”: pitfalls, connection, price

Internet XS Megafon is an option for people who cannot imagine their life without communicating on social networks. This service is the simplest of the entire line. Despite this, it significantly helps to save money and at the same time allows subscribers to be constantly online. By connecting “Internet XS”, you will forget about the fact that the connection is too slow. In this article, we will consider this service in as much detail as possible and find out its advantages and possible disadvantages.

Connect unlimited Internet XS on Megafon

Mobile traffic on All Inclusive XS is provided as a package. However, this does not mean that when it is completely used up, the subscriber is left without the ability to access the Network. Especially for such cases, the company’s specialists have developed the “Extend Internet XS” option. Using it, you can make your “packet” Internet unlimited!

Knowing this, at the beginning of the provision of the option, subscribers of other tariff plans were interested in how to activate the “All Inclusive XS” tariff for 200 rubles. In different years, this could be done for a similar amount and you could get the opportunity to use additional traffic packages.

The idea of the option is that additional packages are connected to a subscriber who has run out of the main Internet package. Their number is unlimited, due to which “unlimitedness” is created. The add-ons are not free, each will cost 19 rubles, but the Internet connection operates at maximum speed, which allows you to quickly and reliably download everything you need.

Just two years ago (in 2015), to access unlimited traffic packages, you could switch to the XS tariff on Megafon for 150 rubles. Today, due to the fact that the tariff is in the archive, switching to it is impossible. For subscribers already connected to this tariff plan, all options continue to be valid in full.

Deactivate the VPN function.
Do not use the browser in information compression mode.

Description

“Internet XS” is an option from , intended for subscribers who spend virtually no traffic. It interacts with almost all tariffs, except for the line “Megafon - All Inclusive” (with the exception of TP 2012), “Turn On”, “Warm Welcome S, M”.

The service will allow you:

Communicate on social networks and use instant messengers;
View mail;
Search for information in search engines;
Find out the news.

Unlike other options in the line, when “XS” is activated, traffic is provided not for the entire billing period, but for one day. The daily volume is not unlimited and is equal to 70 MB. If you exhaust 70 MB within a day, additional megabytes will be provided as part of the “Auto-renewal XS” option. In one day you can connect no more than 15 quotas of 90 MB each. When the main package and auto-renewal are consumed, the channel capacity will be reduced to 64 Kbps. When you spend all 15 quotas, the speed will drop to 0 KB. You can return channel bandwidth by activating it, created specifically for this option.

Features of the range of services

So, what tricks has MegaFon prepared for its subscribers? As already about calls, they are not particularly unlimited, since after 1441 minutes of conversation the tariff will be 1.85 rubles per minute. Communication within your home region will remain free.

If a client switches to a tariff, a number of not particularly useful services are automatically activated without his consent or desire. Most of them, of course, are paid. For example, it reports the status of a mobile account some time after the end of a conversation or other action, which is not a useful function. After all, the subscriber can check the account status independently by typing the appropriate key combination.

Another service is called “Super Caller ID” and determines the numbers of all callers, including “hidden” ones.

These 2 very “useful” features work for the first 2 weeks without a subscription fee, and then you will need to pay 1.5 rubles per day for “Live Balance” and 6 rubles per day for “SuperAON”.

The “SMS check” function has the same feature, which reports all payments received to the subscriber’s mobile account. The fee is small (1 ruble per day), but... You also need to pay extra for . This feature allows you to make 2 calls at the same time and switch between them. The cost of the service is 1.5 rubles for each operation. Again, a service like this is mostly free.

The maximum call duration is 60 minutes, after which the conversation will be interrupted and the subscriber will have to call back again. If the client does not use the service within 45 days, an additional subscription fee of 15 rubles will be charged. This amount will be charged until 90 days have been reached from the date of inactivity. After this, the contract with the company will be terminated. So not using services is just as unprofitable as using them.

After switching to a tariff, half of the monthly subscription fee and, accordingly, half of the monthly volume of services are automatically withdrawn. At the beginning of the third week, another half of the fee is removed and the second half of the services is provided.

Limitations and Compatibility

Before connecting to the service, you should study its features and terms of provision in detail:

Changes in the Megafon All Inclusive XS tariff

Over time, the tariff plan has undergone a number of changes. Almost every year the operator updates parameters, so many subscribers are interested in changes in the cost of the “All Inclusive XS” tariff.

In 2015, the tariff provided 300 minutes of calls to Megafon subscribers throughout the country, the volume of mobile Internet was 1 GB, and you could send a message to any operator in your home region for 1.9 rubles.

After the end of the packages, it cost 6.5 rubles to call a MegaFon subscriber in another region of Russia, and 1.9 rubles to send an SMS to any operators in your region. The tariff was limited to the connection region.

In 2021, the subscription fee remained the same, but it included unlimited calls to mobile numbers of MegaFon subscribers in their region. At the same time, the package of minutes decreased by 100 minutes and amounted to 200 outgoing calls within the network throughout the country per month. After the limit was exhausted, the cost of one minute to MegaFon mobile numbers was 3 rubles. Outside the network, one minute of conversation within your region costs 2.5 rubles, outside of it – 12.5 rubles.

Since the fall of 2021, the company has introduced a number of changes that affected the most popular tariff plans. Among them was the All Inclusive XS tariff. The subscription fee has increased to 250 rubles per month.

Reviews about the tariff

I really like that a sufficient package of minutes is included in the tariff. In fact, this allows you to not worry about paying for communications if you communicate, like I do, only with company subscribers. But the Internet, of course, is only 1.5 GB. Although this is quite enough for me to check email.

I switched to the All Inclusive XS plan just a couple of months ago. My communication costs dropped immediately. Now I don’t even worry about crying a lot. It’s a pity that you can’t call subscribers of all operators for free, but it’s not that bad. Most of my friends also switched to Megafon.

I transferred almost my entire family to Megafon. I really liked that we didn’t have to think about how much we were talking to each other, and considering that many of our colleagues at work also use Megaphones, then in general everything turned out to be very beneficial.

It's been several months since I switched to Megafon. Some advantages for me personally. You no longer need to think about communication costs. At least calling within the network is extremely cheap. The Internet is also enough for me, since I only read email on my mobile phone, and sometimes I look at the news while traveling.

Internet in home region and other areas

All Inclusive XS is aimed at smartphone owners. It involves activating stable high-speed Internet in the amount of 1.5 gigabytes in your own region using the 3 and 4G standard.

If the limit is exceeded, when the subscriber runs out of gigabytes, the traffic will be disconnected. Thus, it will be possible to avoid unnecessary overpayments and going into the red.

Important! When the Internet is turned off, you can use the “Extend Internet” function. There are two options to connect:

In this case, the used traffic is summed up

You can connect it through your personal online account an unlimited number of times. In this case, the traffic used is summed up.

Advantages and disadvantages of the All Inclusive XS tariff

The main advantage will be a small subscription fee for the volume of services, which is quite enough for the average user. Obviously, these are people of the older generation: young people will prefer offers with more Internet from the same line.

XS is suitable for those who have recently decided to switch to a prepaid system. In the first month, thanks to a phased connection, the user will appreciate its convenience. The big disadvantage of the offer is that you cannot stay abroad on it. The service package does not apply there; you will have to connect special options for an additional fee.
