Description and conditions of the “All Inclusive VIP” offer from Megafon - what it gives to clients

From the name of the package we can conclude that it includes all kinds of services in the maximum quantity . And this is true.

True, the cost of connecting and maintaining it is very high - 2,700 rubles will be debited from your personal account per month when connecting to this plan.

At the same time, the client understands that it is worth it after he receives at his disposal:

• Unlimited calls within the Megafon network throughout the Russian Federation
• Free calls to subscribers of other cellular networks , as well as to landlines, in the amount of 5000 minutes
• Every month you can send 5,000 free messages as provided in the tariff
• Internet access is provided on the basis of 3G and 4G networks, and a huge amount of traffic is used - 20GB , which, as a rule, is enough for a whole month.

Cost of services within the tariff.

For Megafon subscribers connected to “All Inclusive VIP” it became possible to watch four films and a package of MegaFon television channels.

Connecting additional options to the VIP tariff will further expand the subscriber’s capabilities.

Detailed conditions

The tariff is suitable for those who regularly need to make many business calls in different directions. Including to other countries. It offers favorable conditions when traveling around the country.

In this package the subscriber receives everything he might need, namely:

• unlimited network within the connection region;
• 4000 minutes in any direction in Russia;
• all incoming calls, regardless of the subscriber’s stay, are free;
• subscription fee – 1200 rubles per month;
• Internet – 1 GB, it is possible to connect to one of the thematic services to expand the package.

Important! Subscribers who subscribe to “General VIP” do not pay for voice mail services - recording and listening are free.

VIP

“VIP status” is a special status of a Megafon subscriber, which allows him to receive privileges and special offers.

What does VIP status give?

• Increased Internet quality (the average Internet speed on a 4G network will be up to 30% higher due to more efficient use of the operator’s data transmission equipment). This is how Megafon justifies itself, informing that it seems that the possibilities of other non-VIP subscribers are not being squeezed.
• 24-hour technical support on a separate number - 0077. I used it myself several times - a live operator answers within 10-15 seconds.
• Priority service in Megafon salons at special VIP counters. These are available in some Megafon stores. You need to show the employee your status in the application and get service out of turn. It is not clear on the map which salon is special and which is not...
• Free delivery of SIM cards. It is unlikely that such a bonus will be used often...
• Personal offers in your personal account. Apparently, special ones for VIPs.

How to get VIP status?

Options:

1. Spend more than 6,000 rubles within 6 months on Megafon communication services.
2. Connect to a tariff with VIP status included.
3. Buy VIP status for 3,000 rubles for 1 year.

And here’s the thing... That VIP status is absolutely not worth it. If you switched to a new expensive tariff, and it is included by default, then the bonus is not bad. But buying VIP or deliberately spending more money than usual is nonsense.

Do you think that's all?) No! Megafon has an even higher status for subscribers...

Domestic and international roaming

Another feature of the tariff is profitable calls when roaming. Moreover, this applies to both trips within the country and to other countries. So for internal roaming the following prices apply:

• communication on the Megafon network throughout the country - 2.95 rubles/min.;
• numbers of other mobile operators in Russia – 6.25 rubles/min.

As for calls to other countries, the price depends on the direction. More specifically (rub/min):

• Oceania, Australia – 27;
• CIS countries, Europe, North America – 7.9;
• Israel, Türkiye – 7.9;
• Asia – 35;
• other countries – 35.

Important! To use these prices, you do not need to additionally activate any services. The tariff is automatically calculated for calls to one direction or another.
