Please note that to connect to all of the above tariffs there are activation numbers. You can not only call them, but also send an SMS message with the word “Yes” to them.
There is another tariff plan with monthly payment. This is the so-called constructor. It can be customized based on your needs for calls and the Internet. To make it clear how to select the required volumes, consider a special table.
Minutes / Traffic (in GB) | 6 | 18 | 28 | 38 |
300 | 450 rub. | 590 rub. | 640 rub. | 690 rub. |
650 | 590 rub. | 650 rub. | 700 rub. | 750 rub. |
750 | 670 rub. | 720 rub. | 770 rub. | 820 rub. |
900 | 770 rub. | 790 rub. | 840 rub. | 890 rub. |
Selecting the desired volumes is easy: let’s say you need 18 GB of traffic and 900 minutes of calls. Activate it in your personal account, on the website or in the company office. According to the table, the monthly subscription fee will be 790 rubles. If you also need messages, they can be connected separately using a special option. The monthly subscriber fee is 55 rubles.
Please note that each description of the “Turn On!” Megafon individually for other regions, i.e. Costs and scope of services vary. The information in this article is relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region. Check the cost of calls, SMS and traffic in other cities with your operator or through your personal account.
Cost of social networks Megafon
As for tariffs, this service is provided for only 2 rubles per day. At the same time, users can use an unlimited amount of traffic through the above social resources.
The option is valid indefinitely, that is, you connect it once and use it until you deactivate it yourself.
If there are not sufficient funds in your account to withdraw the subscription fee, the service will be suspended until there are sufficient funds in your account to withdraw it. It does not work in modems and routers, but is provided in smartphones and tablets.
How to choose the best tariff
This choice should be based on exactly what services you need. If you do not use traffic, then Megafon’s tariffs without the Internet are suitable for you, namely, “Go to zero” and “It’s simple”. Megafon's most favorable tariff is for pensioners and preschool children who use a mobile phone only for conversations and rarely for SMS.
For those who constantly use all the possibilities, and especially the Internet, tariffs from the “Turn On” line are suitable. They are especially relevant for teenagers and young adults. There you should already choose a package of services depending on your preferences, i.e. depending on what you love most – the Internet, conversations or SMS. But please note that each of the tariffs has all the services, only taking into account the subscriber’s characteristics, for example, if he often corresponds via SMS, you need to select the appropriate option, namely “Turn on! Write."
How to connect and disconnect
If you need unlimited social networks on Megafon, then you can activate the service in one of the following ways:
Option validity period: unlimited
On what tariffs is this option available?
The option is available for connection at the following tariffs:
The option is available for use by subscribers who use MegaFon services as part of the “Speak”, “Warm Welcome M 2017”, and “Listen” packages. As for restrictions on devices, this offer can be used on both smartphones and tablet devices. For modems and routers connected to PCs, and even to smartphones and tablets, the option does not work.
As for the most important conditions, that is, financial ones, they look like this:
- Activation fee: none;
- Monthly fee: 4 rubles per day;
- Tariffing of traffic in social media networks: absent.
When connecting to the “Talk” or “Listen” tariffs from December 25, 2017 to February 28, 2021, the “Social Networks” option will be available to MegaFon subscribers, which means 120 rubles per month in savings.
Also, when considering the characteristics of this option, it is necessary to note one very important nuance. The fact is that video content embedded in social networks is often located on third-party resources (YouTube, for example). If you view videos embedded via links from other sites, Internet traffic will be counted as normal for such content.
The service itself extends directly to the use of the above 3 social networks through official applications, as well as in browsers on official websites.
Tariff parameters
Let's consider the main parameters using Moscow and the region as an example:
- Subscription fee – 600 rubles for 30 days.
- Package of minutes – 600 units to all numbers in Russia. Calls to Megafon numbers in any region of Russia are free, unlimited and do not consume your package of minutes.
- Internet package – 5 GB
- Unlimited messengers: WhatsApp, Viber, eMotion, Facebook Messenger, TamTam, Snapchat
The normal tariff for calls - and unlimited within the network is adequate, which does not consume the package of minutes, and calls to any numbers in Russia, including long-distance and landline. It’s a pity that such a tariff costs 600 rubles for 30 days. For communication on the Internet - unlimited instant messengers and 5 GB of mobile Internet. Not a lot, but for some subscribers it will be enough.

Extra options:
- SOS package from Megafon: messengers continue to work even with financial blocking.

We have here analogues of “Other Rules” from Tele2. Unused gigabytes of the Internet are added to the piggy bank.

Messengers now work even with financial blocking.
Paid separately:
- SMS to local numbers – 2.2 rubles per message.
- SMS to other regions of Russia – 3.5 rubles per message.
Paid SMS, where to go...

- Without an additional package: calls to local numbers - 2 rubles per minute, to numbers in other regions - 3 rubles per minute.
- Automatic additional Internet package – 500 MB for 30 days for 50 rubles.
It is worth noting that after the end of the Internet package, traffic from the piggy bank is first used, if it is there, of course.
Options available on the tariff:
- “Unlimited SMS” - unlimited SMS to Megafon numbers and 100 SMS per day to numbers of other operators for 55 rubles for 30 days.
Personal opinion
A very good tariff. Two main features that I already highlighted at the very beginning: a small subscription fee and unlimited within the network.
The package of minutes is spent only on local mobile numbers of other operators, which is not very good, but for the money it will do.
The mobile Internet package is modest, but there is unlimited messaging for messengers, which will help save some traffic. There is also an Internet piggy bank, which sends traffic unused during the billing period to the reserve.
This is far from the first time that a mobile operator has excluded the cheapest tariff from its lineup for Moscow. It’s a bit of a shame, but what can you do – this is the current reality in the field of mobile communications.
For mobile Internet users
There is a favorable MegaFon tariff for using the Internet.
MegaFon-Online
This Megafon tariff is universal and is suitable for telephones and other devices. There is no subscription for using the Internet. You can connect special options and use the Internet on favorable terms:
- 16 GB per month costs 590 rubles;
- 3 GB per month – 350 rubles;
- 36 GB per month costs 890 rubles.
What tariff should I choose for calls to numbers of other operators in Russia?
If you often call numbers of other operators in Russia, the most profitable plan for you will be “City Connection”. The subscription fee for the tariff is 600 rubles, this amount includes 700 minutes of communication when calling any local and long-distance numbers.
This tariff is positioned on the operator’s website as “the ideal tariff for calls within Russia,” with 1 SMS costing 1 ruble.
You can switch to the plan on the operator’s website in the “Tariffs” section, in your personal account, or by dialing the combination * 105 * 1080# and the call button on your cell phone, sending an arbitrary message to the number 5001080, or calling this number and selecting a command in the voice menu.
The “Call Russia” option provides the opportunity to call numbers of all operators for 0 rubles from the 2nd to the 10th minute, while the first minute will cost 15 rubles, and starting from the 11th minute it will cost 2.5 rubles. In other words, in the most favorable scenario, 10 minutes of conversation will cost 15 rubles.
This option is suitable for those who do not call other cities very often and talk for several minutes; there is NO subscription fee for the service. This option can be activated in addition to the most inexpensive tariff plans and calls to regions at an affordable price.
You can activate the service on the operator’s website in the “Services” section, in your personal account, or by dialing the combination * 105 * 0080# and the call button on your cell phone, sending an arbitrary message to the number 0500980, or calling this number from your phone and selecting a command in the voice menu.
What does VIP status give?
Unlimited Internet and premium service is what distinguishes “Maximum” from the standard tariffs of the family: “Minimum”, “Calls”, “Internet”, and “Everything”.
Here are the special privileges that come with being a VIP client:
- Quick connection to support service via a dedicated line, without an answering machine.
- Higher average internet connection speed. The operator promises an increase in 4G speeds of up to 30% compared to ordinary subscribers. Important disclaimer: subject to technical availability.
- Out-of-line service in Megafon showrooms and offices.
- Special offers and discounts for various events and services.
Why “No overpayments. Maximum” does not reach the title of a full-fledged VIP tariff?
The only thing that distinguishes this package from the “real” premium “VIP” and “Premium” tariffs (besides the monthly cost and larger packages of minutes) is the accumulation of free roaming days for using the tariff. There is no such feature on Maximum.
Methods to disable a tariff plan
All Megafon subscribers have the ability to disable their tariff plan, but few people know about this. This is due to the fact that the user ID must be tied to some service or service in order to permanently register on the network (service).
Thus, you can disable Megafon Download Easily by simply switching to any other tariff plan. You can choose any solution without a subscription fee, for example, “Per-second” and pay for the actual use of mobile network resources.
Reviews
If you have any questions related to this tariff plan, feel free to contact the operator’s hotline by phone number, through messages on social networks or by contacting the ticket system of the mobile application.
If you found a comment, found strange write-offs of funds or some other shortcoming - write in the comments, we’ll try to figure it out together.
It is worth noting that most users are satisfied with this tariff plan and despite the cost of the subscription fee, which is higher than the regional average, it has many more advantages than you might imagine.
Megafon “Per Second” tariff – description and transition
Megafon's "Per Second" tariff is noticeably different from the tariff lines offered to subscribers. It is intended for those people who do not want to pay for services they do not need and are not willing to overpay for communications. This offer will be especially beneficial for the least active customers who do not spend much time on telephone conversations and almost never use the mobile Internet. Its main distinguishing feature is the complete absence of a subscription fee. Users contribute money only for actions actually performed, and therefore are able to fully control their own expenses for cellular communications.
Tariff “Per-second” Megafon – description
The main features of tariffing are already indicated above. It does not require regular subscription fees (if you save money, you can make payments only a few times a year), but does not include the usual service packages. At the same time, in addition to standard calls, messages and network access, clients are provided with additional options:
- SMS check Light;
- Unlimited incoming calls in Crimea;
- Replace the horn;
- Internet in Crimea;
- Kaleidoscope;
- Who called+;
- Megafon-mail;
- Call waiting;
- Caller ID;
- One-time anti-determinant;
- Hold;
- I am online;
- I called+.
The remaining options require independent connection and activation.
Calls
It’s not hard to guess that Megafon’s “per-second” billing takes into account every second of the conversation. But only in the home region (where the SIM card was purchased) In other cases, calls are calculated by the minute. In this case the cost is equal to:
- for outgoing calls to home numbers – 2.9 rubles per minute;
- other calls within the country within the network – 5 rubles;
- negotiations with clients of third-party operators – 12.5;
- local calls when located in various regions of Russia – 2;
- communication with residents of nearby states that are or were formerly members of the CIS – 39;
- outgoing to Europe, Turkey and Israel – 59;
- other directions – 79;
- satellite operators – 313.
Telephone prices when abroad are assessed by the operator separately.
Mobile Internet
The main weakness of a tariff plan without a subscription fee on an expensive mobile Internet. For using 1 megabyte of traffic you will have to pay 9.9 rubles. The conditions are the same both when you are in the connection region and when traveling around the country. There are no restrictions on the amount of available traffic; the main thing is that users have the required amount that can cover the connection fee.
The only way to reduce Internet costs is to simply connect an additional option with pre-allocated traffic. There are no other methods of saving on visiting websites and using virtual services.
SMS and MMS
The cost of messages on Megafon’s “Per Second” tariff deserves special attention:
- SMS within the home region – 1.9 rubles for each sending;
- An SMS message to other regions of Russia is estimated at 3.9 rubles;
- mms – 7 rub. for each.
The description cannot be complete without mentioning the price for messages while traveling around the country. In such situations, a single price is established - 3 rubles. for the message. Sending SMS when abroad depends on the country in which the subscriber finds himself. It should be specified separately on the company’s portal in the section dedicated to roaming.
How to activate a per-second tariff on Megafon?
Determining how to switch to the “Per Second” tariff from Megafon is much more difficult than finding answers to a similar question regarding the transition to other tariffs. This is due to the actions of the operator who limited the activation order. Switching to new conditions is allowed only in communication shops; you won’t be able to do it yourself.
To change the conditions in the office, you need to prepare a passport in advance and inform the manager about your desire. Changing the tariff is free of charge if subscribers do not abuse this action. If you change tariffs more than once a month, the switching price will be 99 rubles.
Shutdown
Deactivation involves replacing old conditions with new ones. You can change the tariff:
- using USSD commands;
- in your personal account;
- using the voice menu;
- by sending an SMS to the service phone.
If the user intends to completely refuse the operator’s services, he should independently disable paid services and stop using the SIM card. After six months it will be deactivated.
An alternative solution would be to visit a communication salon and write an application to terminate the subscription agreement. All you need is a passport and confidence that you have no debts to the telephone company.
To communicate with subscribers of any operators
It is beneficial to communicate with subscribers of any other operators using the following offer.
It's simple
Local calls – 1.60 rubles, SMS – 1.90 rubles. Long-distance calls – 2.90 rubles, messages – 3 rubles. There is no monthly fee. The only negative is the per-minute billing.
Did you know? The highest height for installing a mobile communication antenna is 40 meters.
Get involved
Currently, many pensioners are actively exploring the Internet, and therefore they may need more megabytes.
For such cases, it is worth considering the “Turn On” line, which distinguishes three main packages:
- Write. Suitable for those who like active communication and exchange of photo and video files in messengers. For 450 rubles per month, it provides free access to messaging programs, 5 gigabytes of Internet, free calls on the home network and 300 minutes + 300 SMS for other operators.
- Choose. The tariff can be customized, the minimum options include 6 gigabytes of traffic, no limit on calls within the network, 300 minutes per month for calls to subscribers of other operators. Subscription fee 450 rub.
- Open +. For 6 rubles per day, the subscriber gets unlimited access to instant messengers and 3 gigabytes of Internet traffic. Calls on the network are not subject to tariffs; calls outside the network are charged at 2 rubles per minute of conversation.
Also, the first two options provide the opportunity to receive a book as a gift every month when subscribing to the liters service; with the “Choose” tariff, a subscription to the Press magazine will be an additional bonus.
When choosing a tariff, everyone should definitely analyze which cellular directions are used most often. In this way, you can choose the most profitable option, allowing you to always stay in touch with loved ones at a minimum cost, which is very important for every retiree.
