What do you need to know about the “Maximum” tariff without overpayments from Megafon?

Description of the tariff plan

First of all, it is one of the most expensive tariffs from Megafon. Therefore, it’s worth initially writing about the subscription fee :

1. The cost of a month of service is 1 thousand rubles .
2. To switch to the “Maximum” tariff, the balance must be at least 1010 rubles .
3. Changing your tariff plan to “Maximum” is free if you have not changed your tariff within a month. If there was a transition, then the cost of the service will be 100 rubles .

Characteristics of “Maximum” from Megafon:

When switching to the “Maximum” tariff plan, an amount equal to half of the subscription fee is debited from the account. On the 16th day of using the tariff, the balance (the second half of the subscription fee) is written off. Starting from the 2nd month, the subscription fee for the “Maximum” tariff is charged one-time in full.

Pros and cons of the tariff

Advantages and disadvantages

Unlimited Internet

Large package of minutes and SMS

Using instant messengers even with a zero balance

Subscription fee amount

It turns out that the only drawback of the tariff is its high price. However, even one minus can cover all the advantages. Especially when it comes to money. Therefore, it is recommended to think again whether you really need such a package of services for such a subscription fee.

Parameters and prices in some other regions of Russia

Included services in the tariff
In Moscow and the Moscow region, the following parameters are set :

1. The monthly subscription fee is one thousand rubles .
2. 1500 minutes are provided for calls to all Russian numbers .
3. 300 SMS to all Russian numbers.
4. Unlimited Internet . In the description of Megafon's tariff you can read that the main package includes 35 GB, but initially the unlimited Internet service is connected.

In other regions, for the “Maximum” tariff, the established prices and parameters differ significantly:

Regardless of the region, the “Maximum” tariff from Megafon provides the opportunity to communicate on social networks, even with a minus balance.

Comparison with the old version:

Main changes for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region:

• Reduction of subscription fee from 1000 to 790 rubles. Quite an impressive 21% discount.
• Reducing the minutes in the package from 1500 to 1000. This step made it possible to make the tariff cheaper, saving on what is most likely not used by many clients.
• Unlimited calls to Megafon subscribers are no longer counted incorrectly, consuming the main package.
• If the balance is zero or negative, not only instant messengers remain available, but also outgoing calls to Megafon subscribers.

The reduction in the package of minutes should be more than compensated for by the edited system for recording calls to Megafon numbers, which makes them truly unlimited. Reducing the subscription fee, in turn, should attract new customers. To summarize, it can be noted that the tariff compared to the previous version has become more affordable and optimized for the needs of subscribers.

Transition or connection to the “Maximum” tariff plan

If you are already a subscriber of the Megafon network and want to change the tariff to “Maximum”, then to do this you need to do the following:

• Log in to your personal account in the application or on the website . Next, go to the tab with tariff plans and select “Maximum”, then click on the connection icon.
• Or select “My tariff”, then click on “Change tariff”, find the “Maximum” tariff and click on “Details”. Next, select "Go".

2. Select "Maximum".
3. Decide whether you want to keep your old number, which was with another operator, or get a new one.

If you have any questions, call 0500. Experienced specialists will be happy to explain all the points that interest you.

Auto-renewal and cost of services above packages

To extend the package of minutes on the “Maximum” tariff, no action is required from the subscriber. 1500 minutes are renewed at the beginning of each month, automatically. If the user has used up the entire package before the end of the established period, then 50 rubles and an additional 50 minutes to any Russian numbers.

Additional minutes are valid until the end of the month. If you spend them, auto-renewal will work. 50 rubles will be withdrawn from your balance again and additional minutes will be given. This will continue until the balance approaches zero or the minutes from the main package are restored. It is worth considering that calls to Megafon subscribers are free and do not consume time from the additional package.

Using auto-renewal turns out to be more profitable than calling at standard rates:

• Calls to numbers of other mobile operators in your region cost 2 rubles per minute , and to landline numbers - 2.2 rubles .
• For intercity, the rates are even higher. A call to another operator’s number costs 3 rubles per minute , and to a landline phone – 5 rubles .
• The cost of SMS over the package is 2.2 rubles in the home region and 3.5 for others.

Eventually

In comparison with other tariffs in the “#No Overpayments” series (comparative table), I can recommend #No Overpayments “Maximum” to those who need to make calls not only in their home region + need a large amount of Internet traffic and do not have enough volumes or “Calls”. Well, or for those who have too much in the “VIP” and “Premium” tariffs.

Communications from MegaFon have never been cheap, so 790 ₽ for such a large package of services is normal

PS. If we compare tariffs with unlimited Internet from the Big Four operators, then #Without overpayments “Maximum” wins in almost all respects, see for yourself >>>

Additional services

When you subscribe to the “No overpayments” tariff plan. Maximum" provides a set of free additional services:

Customer Reviews

Andrey: “I recently switched to Maximum from another tariff and breathed a sigh of relief, I no longer need to monitor traffic. Now I calmly browse websites, watch videos, listen to music. The Internet is fast and works without interruptions. I like the protection service from Megafon. They have already saved me from connecting strange services twice.”

Max: “I switched to Megafon with my number from MTS. I've been using it for 2 months now and have never regretted my decision. At work I make a lot of calls to different numbers. Previously, I used to call more than 3.5 thousand, but now I can’t get more than 1,500 (this includes calls in excess of the package of minutes). Plus the Internet is unlimited. Now, when we go to the dacha on weekends, I distribute it to all household members without any problems. It turns out to be very profitable."

Daria: “I joined Maximum on the advice of the Megafon operator, which I don’t regret. I often make calls, send files from my phone, and use the Internet. Of course, the tariff is not cheap - 1000 rubles per month, but you paid and you can safely call, write messages, look at photos. I used to save money, everything was to the point when I called, but now I don’t need to bother.”
