Inexpensive TP will help you stay in touch. This is one of the TPs without paying a monthly fee, with small charges for calls within the network, as well as inexpensive calls to intercity and abroad. The client does not spend extra money.

Personal opinion
Considering that on the new “Warm Welcome M” tariff the package of minutes is now not intended for calls to Megafon numbers in other regions of Russia, as well as to local landline numbers, we can say that the tariff in terms of voice communications in Russia has become worse. Calls to other countries have also become more expensive, with the exception of a few items. Now you don’t have to pay separately for unlimited mobile Internet, but is it worth considering that the tariff has become better? I think not.
If you don’t need unlimited Internet, and 600 rubles per month seems like a lot to pay for the tariff, then perhaps you should consider the option with the “Warm Welcome” or “Warm Welcome S” tariff.
If you need a package of minutes to be spent when calling Megafon numbers in other regions of Russia, then you can consider other options - “Warm Welcome L” and “Warm Welcome XL”, which, of course, are more expensive.
But calls to local landlines on any of the new tariffs in the “Warm Welcome” line are charged separately. And this is extremely unpleasant.
Disable the "Warm Welcome" tariff Megafon
The time for using the TP is unlimited. If it is removed, then it will be possible to use it until the client decides to change the tariff to another. When changing, you cannot return to the previous TP, since it has been removed and archived.
Tariff deactivation can be done in several ways:
- Switch to another tariff plan. Select the one you are interested in on the Megafon website or call the cool center operator at 0500. You can also use your personal account or the *105# menu.
- SIM card blocking. This can be done through a consultant at 0500, through your personal account or at any service office.
Connection methods
Some Megafon tariffs have limited transition methods, such as “Warm Welcome” (included in archived tariff plans).
