Roaming in Russia
When traveling around Russia, subscribers do not need to additionally set up special communication services or look for favorable Megafon tariffs for roaming in Russia.
The company’s website provides a convenient service where you can enter the name of the city to which you are planning a trip and find out detailed information about services and their costs in the territory of this locality as part of Megafon’s options for roaming in Russia.
Tariffs such as “Turn On” and “All Inclusive” are equally valid both in your home region and abroad. Before your trip, don’t be lazy to check the conditions of use outside the “home region” of your tariff.
Next, we will look at basic data on the cost and options of Megafon roaming in Russia.
