Choosing a Megafon children's tariff: TOP 6 best offers

A new school year is starting, and many of us need to provide our students with mobile communications. Modern children practically do not need calls and short messages (SMS), but instead require a lot of Internet traffic. Mobile operators are well aware of this, but are in no hurry to reduce prices for unlimited Internet and traffic packages.

Non-public tariffs come to the rescue, providing much better conditions than regular tariffs connected at any office of telecom operators.

Non-public tariffs are special tariffs of mobile operators intended for certain groups of subscribers. Such tariffs cannot be activated at operator offices and technical support is not always aware of them. But they provide much more favorable conditions for subscribers.

I present to your attention the 5 most favorable tariffs that you can use to provide communications to your schoolchildren and students. Tariffs are sorted by price, from cheapest to most expensive.

Let's move on to the last participant in our review?

Children's Internet

The Children's Internet option allows you to protect your child from unwanted content - access to sites with suspicious activity or adult content will be blocked. Which portals are included in this list?

• Sites with 18+ content;
• Resources where prohibited goods are offered;
• Gambling portals.

Connection is free, the subscription fee is 2 rubles per day.

To activate the Megafon option, you must:

• Use the combination *580*1# ;
• Send SMS with the word ON to number 5800

We recommend setting a code word to prevent your child from removing the restrictions on their own.

Setting up a child's number

Once you have decided on a tariff plan for your child’s phone, do not forget about additional settings. We recommend using parental control services. Despite the different names of cellular companies, they provide approximately the same functionality.

You will have the opportunity not only to receive information about where your child is now at any time, but also, for example, to limit access to certain Internet resources. All configuration of such services occurs through the parent number. These services will also help you monitor the balance of your child’s phone.

But to avoid unnecessary costs on a child’s phone, activate a ban on the use of paid content on it.
After all, to send SMS to a paid number, sometimes an unlocked phone screen in your bag or pocket is enough. Additionally, you can use a separate account to pay for such services, which will completely avoid accidental write-offs. Natalia Sergeenko

Description of the service and the conditions under which it is provided

Megafon’s “Internet for Children” service allows you to restrict access to sites containing unwanted or “dangerous” content. Something like this:

• Online stores selling goods prohibited for circulation in Russia.

• Other resources that are potentially dangerous for children.

You can connect and use the option on all devices that work with SIM cards: phones, tablets, routers and modems.

How the service works

The “Children's Internet” service completely blocks access to sites that are not whitelisted by the service.

This completely eliminates the possibility that a child will end up on extremist resources, sites with 18+ content, or services selling prohibited goods.

The security assessment of a specific site is carried out by a special expert team. At the moment, there are over 500,000,000 resources on the service’s white list, and their list is updated by 100,000 sites every day.

The service can be used in any device with a Megafon SIM card: a smartphone, a tablet or a mobile modem.

in a minute. Calls to China are even cheaper - for only 1 ruble. in a minute . With such affordable prices for international communications, the tariff is also distinguished by the absence of a subscription fee. This means that if the owner of the number did not make calls on it, then he will not have to pay anything at all.

Price for calls and messages:

After the subscriber has made the transition to this tariff, he is provided with a package with 10 minutes , costing only 12 rubles . He has the right to spend these minutes on calls to numbers registered in his region. The new package is activated the moment the first call starts. All minutes of the started package can be spent until the current day ends.

Rates for those traveling within the country

Thus, subscribers of the “warm welcome” tariff can receive any incoming calls in other regions absolutely free of charge. This rule is relevant for all places in the country, with the exception of the Republic of Crimea. Moreover, in order to make an outgoing call, the subscriber will pay according to the same scheme as at home. This applies to calls to numbers that are in your home region. For other types of calls there are different rates:

to the region where the owner of the number is located at the time of the call - 2 rubles. per minute to numbers belonging to the Megafon network and operating in other regions of the Russian Federation - 9.9 rubles. per minute for subscribers of other operators who are located in other parts of the country - 12.5 rubles. in a minute.

As for using the Internet, it is possible for “Warm Welcome” users. If access to it is needed, then at the moment when the subscriber makes the first attempt to access the network, the package worth 2 rubles is automatically activated . If this entire volume has been used, then again the next, second package with a capacity of 99 MB for 10 rubles automatically takes effect . When this package is all used, it is replaced by identical 100 MB packages, each of which is valued at 12 rubles. As with minutes, there is a limit of up to 10 packets per day.

When traveling to different regions of the country, prices for tariff users do not change.
