- Abkhazia and South Ossetia;
- Azerbaijan and Belarus;
- Armenia and Georgia;
- Ukraine and Moldova;
- Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan;

How to activate the Warm Welcome S tariff
Before switching to the “Warm Welcome S” tariff, you need to remember that all unused message minutes and traffic from the previous tariff will be cancelled.
To effectively switch to a tariff, Megafon has developed a number of methods that you can use. These include:
- Personal account where you can independently switch to the tariff you are interested in.
- By dialing a short command that can activate the tariff *105*1082# and pressing the call key.
- If the client decides to use SMS, then he needs to send the word YES to the number 05001082.

Subscriber reviews
Users of the “Warm Welcome” tariff positively assessed the quality of communication during calls to neighboring countries. Compared to other cellular operators, Megafon offers the most favorable conditions and without sacrificing the quality of the connection (you don’t have to wait long for the first beeps, there is no interference, you can hear it like when communicating on a landline phone).
There are also negative reviews. Most of the dissatisfaction is due to the fact that tariffs are valid only within the connection region. If you cross the regional border, minutes and megabytes from the packages are not consumed, high tariffs are applied within the framework of long-distance roaming, money is written off at lightning speed, both for outgoing and incoming calls. Difficulties often arise if the subscriber has not read the detailed description of the tariff and did not take this information into account when using communication services.
