List and review of Internet options and package tariffs from Megafon

How to connect the Internet in Russia from Megfon

Some Internet options (for example, “Internet XS”) and tariffs of the “Megafon - all inclusive” line are valid only in the home region. This means that when traveling around the country you will have to pay for the Internet, and quite a bit: in roaming, 1 megabyte of traffic costs 9.9 rubles.

In order not to overpay such huge amounts of money for mobile Internet when traveling, enable the “Internet in Russia” option. True, it still does not work in all regions of our vast country. Thus, exceptions are Kamchatka, Magadan, Taimyr, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and Crimea.

You can activate the “Internet in Russia” option both in your “Personal Account” and using a USSD request ✶105✶0042#. You can also activate by sending a blank (or with any text) SMS to 0500-942.

As you can see, connecting to the Internet on Megafon is very easy. Tariff options “Internet XS, S, M, L and XL” will provide access to the Internet from any device, be it a phone, tablet or modem, and are compatible with most operator tariffs. I hope this short review has helped you in choosing the right internet option. If the connected Internet package ends prematurely, you can resume access to the Network using the “Extend speed” family of options. How to connect them is described in detail in the article “How to extend Megafon’s Internet speed?”

Cost of services

can be connected free of charge. But before traffic is charged, a subscription fee of 350 rubles will be charged from the client’s account. This amount is fixed and does not change throughout the entire period of use. It is written off once, every new month. When disabling the option, no payment will be charged, but the remaining traffic will be written off along with the deactivation.

Customers are also given the opportunity to pay for the option in advance. Payment can be made for 3, 6 and 12 months. Payment is made in company stores, and customers who connect immediately for a long period become the owners of a discount on the service. The discount amount is 10.20 and 30% of the monthly fee, respectively.

If Internet traffic runs out

If the provided Internet traffic is consumed, speed restrictions begin to apply. It becomes such that surfing is impossible. To extend the speed and receive additional monthly traffic, you can use the paid “ ” function. With its help you can get 1GB or 5GB of traffic for a fee.

How to check the remaining megabytes on “Internet S”

When using the “Internet S” option, you should control your megabyte consumption. Since there are not so many of them provided, and to avoid additional costs, you should check the balance. For this you can use:

• Ussd command *558#, which after making a call will show the balance on the phone screen.
• If you have an application installed on your phone from MegaFon, you can easily check the balance by going to the appropriate section.
• You can check megabytes without having a phone. All you need to do is go to your personal account and view the data in the desired tab.

Option “Make yourself at home”

Prices for mobile Internet in domestic Russian roaming from MegaFon are quite high. The cost of one megabyte of traffic is 9.9 rubles. with a charging interval of 250 KB.

The subscription fee is 6 or 12 rubles/day, depending on the option and tariff, the amount of traffic when traveling around the country is not limited.

Features of roaming in Russia from MegaFon

It must be remembered that all tariffs and options provide for coverage area restrictions - in many Far Eastern and northern regions they do not work or are provided with serious speed restrictions. It's all about the high cost of transmitting traffic to such remote regions.

To activate Internet roaming in Russia on MegaFon, you do not need to make any physical movements - it is available by default. Don't forget to turn off the subscription options when you get home so you don't waste your money.

Service management

In addition, it is important to understand that despite the fact that the 5 gigabyte quota is a fairly good offer, it may well be exhausted before the service is directly extended and a new quota is provided. And if you encounter a similar problem, but you need additional traffic, you can always use the Internet renewal service by activating. Nowadays, the choice of mobile operators makes it possible to choose the most suitable and convenient one for everyone, including a favorable tariff, but the Internet provided does not always meet the needs

Megafon is today considered one of the best operators, which offers the most profitable and high-speed mobile network at competitive prices. Not so long ago, a tariff with a 3G network was in high demand, but today the company offers the newest and fastest 4G, which is already distributed throughout most of the country. It’s so convenient to be constantly in touch and be able to use social networks anywhere, not to mention having free access to the navigation system

Nowadays, the choice of mobile operators makes it possible to choose the most suitable and convenient one for everyone, including a favorable tariff, but the Internet provided does not always meet the needs. Megafon is today considered one of the best operators, which offers the most profitable and high-speed mobile network at competitive prices. Not so long ago, a tariff with a 3G network was in high demand, but today the company offers the newest and fastest 4G, which is already distributed throughout most of the country. It’s so convenient to be constantly in touch and be able to use social networks anywhere, not to mention having free access to the navigation system.

Of course, there is another side. There are users who, in principle, do not access the network from their phones and this service is useless for them, even if it is included in the tariff. Most often, these are our grandparents and most parents - they are simply not interested, and they grew up at a time when there was not only the Internet, but also mobile phones. That is why such things are a novelty for them and it is sometimes unrealistic to accustom them to this.

When a subscriber directly in the mobile operator’s salon expresses a request to turn off the Internet or wants to completely change the tariff or a specific option, then the consultants do this on the spot. This is usually done for the reasons stated above or simply because the phone does not support full network surfing. Also, some people prefer to use tablets or some other devices for this, on which everything they need is included. But what to do if there is no salon nearby? In this case, special USSD requests will always help, which are very easy to use and even a child can figure them out. But Megafon thought of everything and gave its subscribers a choice, so today there are several ways to turn off mobile Internet, change the tariff and do much more without outside help.

How to connect Internet XS SML or XL

The Megafon operator offers all its subscribers to use any Internet option to choose from:

Activation on the site

1. Go to megafon.ru
2. Select the Internet tab
3. Select the desired tariff
4. Click the “Connect” button and enter your mobile number.

These options are positioned by the company both for mobile devices and for laptops and computers. Therefore, users have a question about how to connect a Megafon modem to a laptop. To do this, you need to insert the modem into the USB socket of the laptop. If the modem is working, the indicator should respond to your action. Wait for the modem driver to install automatically. After the modem is registered on the network, you will be able to access the global network.

How to connect the Internet to Megafon on your phone

Megafon has a range of Internet tariff options with different traffic volumes, aimed at different devices from phones to modems. Of course, we are talking about the familiar line of unlimited options “Internet XS, S, M, L, XL”, which is familiar to many subscribers. In addition, there are several additional Internet options for phones with unlimited traffic, designed to connect to “Turn on!” tariffs. Let's consider each of them in order.

How to connect Internet XS, S, M, L or XL

Options “Internet XS, S, M, L, XL” can be connected to any tariff plan without included Internet packages (for example, “Everything is simple” or “Go to zero”). It is very convenient that all options from this line (except for “Internet XS”) are valid throughout Russia. That is, subscribers do not need to worry about connecting additional Internet options while roaming around the country.

Each of these options can be activated through your Personal Account (lk.megafon.ru), as well as using special USSD commands or via SMS. Commands for connecting the “Internet XS, S, M, L, XL” options on the phone:

• The “Internet XL” option is truly unlimited mobile Internet from Megafon: traffic is not limited in speed or volume. Therefore, “Internet XL” is more suitable for a modem, router or tablet, but nothing prevents you from connecting it on your phone if you so choose. The USSD command for connecting “Internet XL” is ✶236✶5✶1# or SMS with the text 1 to the number 050-09-125.

It should be noted that for the “Internet M and L” tariff options, half of the included traffic is provided during the daytime (from 7:00 am to 1:00 am), and the other half is provided at night. The operator also limited daily traffic to Internet XL. Here, from 7.00 am to 1.00 am, you are allowed to spend only 30 GB, but at night traffic is unlimited.

How to connect unlimited Internet to Megafon using the “Turn On!” tariffs.

In the tariffs of the new line “Turn on!” Internet packages are already provided. In addition to the main Internet package, each tariff plan also provides unlimited traffic to popular Internet resources. For example, communicating on social networks or watching videos from Youtube.

By connecting additional Internet options with unlimited Internet for the “Turn On!” tariffs. You can improve your tariff a little and not spend megabytes from the main Internet package on visiting your favorite web resources.

Unlimited for 3G and 4G modem

Do you have a 3G or 4G modem at your disposal? Then you can use any tariff plan with one of the options described above - Internet S, Internet M, Internet L and Internet XL.

By default, when purchasing a kit with a Megafon modem, it is automatically set to the basic “Megafon-Online” tariff, designed for minimal Internet access with per-megabyte pricing. To use the modem on more favorable terms, do not forget to connect an additional Internet option to this tariff to suit your requirements.
