For interested readers, in this article we will reveal the features of the “All Inclusive VIP” tariff plan.

Tariff activation

“All inclusive VIP” can be activated after purchasing the starter package of the same name. It is available in all communication shops throughout the country. The cost of the starter package is 2001 rubles, while an amount of 2000 is sent immediately to the subscriber’s account and can be used to make the first subscription fee.

As for existing subscribers, the transition is possible in one of the following ways:

Dial command ✶105✶324#. This is a dedicated request specifically for the Megafon “All Inclusive VIP” tariff. That is, you don’t have to press any additional buttons or communicate with the operator.
Through your personal account or application. In both the first and second cases, you need to look for the section with tariffs and click “go” opposite the one in question.
A call to number 0500 is a hotline for subscribers. You need to wait for connection with the operator. This may take some time, so be patient. To transfer, he will need to provide the passport details of the person to whom the number is registered.
Contact the service office. If none of the above options is suitable, then it is most convenient to contact the service office. In this case, you should get there during business hours and take your passport with you.

Important! For the transfer to take place using any of the above methods, there must be a sufficient amount on the account to pay the first installment and after its withdrawal the balance must remain positive.

Shutdown

This is only possible when switching to another operator tariff. If you are not satisfied with the operator’s services, then the option is to terminate the contract. Temporary disabling is possible after blocking the SIM card.

Important! Services under the specified conditions will not be provided if there are insufficient funds in the account to charge the monthly subscription fee.

The “All InclusiveVIP” tariff is convenient, because it has many services in significant volumes, but for most Megafon clients this tariff is too expensive. At the same time, there are still people who want to connect to it.

What does VIP give?

If they offer to get something for a fee, then the potential buyer needs to understand the value of the product and decide for himself whether to buy it or not. Let's start with this.

That's roughly what it's called. This can be done on the main page of the resource, or by logging into your profile, for example.

As a result, the user will see a window with a list of services and their description. They are:

Thus, VIP status has a number of advantages.

Many, having familiarized themselves with the list of services and read their descriptions, will want to use all of the above. The question naturally arises about the cost of the subscription. It’s one thing to activate the stealth mode for 20 rubles, another thing for a thousand. In the second case, most will prefer to have only basic capabilities.

Let's look at the cost of the listed services.

International calls in the All Inclusive tariff plan

Any of the tariffs you choose has the same cost for calls to international destinations. The main and determining factor in payment is the territorial location of the country in which the subscriber you are interested in is located. Thus, a conversation with Abkhazia, Georgia, Ukraine and the CIS will cost 20 rubles per minute.

If the USA or Canada gets in touch, then 30 rubles, but Australia and Asia will be 40-50 rubles, respectively. All other states and conversations with them cost a little more; the need to pay for them is 60 rubles per minute. To those territories where only satellite communications are available, a call to the Megafon network will cost 313 rubles per minute.

Cost of services

In order to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a tariff, it is not enough to know only its contents. It is also necessary to take into account the prices for services used by the operator. You should definitely familiarize yourself with them before connecting in order to have an idea of what approximate monthly expenses await you. Otherwise, you can quickly become disappointed in the tariff and have to switch to another one. MegaFon has introduced the following prices in the “All Inclusive M” tariff:

incoming calls are free;
calls to MegaFon numbers in your home region and when traveling around Russia are free;
calls to other numbers in your home region above the package - 1.6 rubles/minute;
calls to other numbers in other regions above the package - 3 rubles/minute;
forwarding to any numbers in your region - 2.5 rubles;
incoming SMS and MMS - free;
outgoing SMS to mobile numbers in your region above the limit - 2.9 rubles;
outgoing SMS to mobile numbers in other regions above the limit - 3.9 rubles;
outgoing SMS to foreign mobile numbers - 5 rubles;
additional Internet traffic package after exhaustion of package GB () - 30 rubles/200 MB.

If you primarily invest in standard package minutes, SMS and GB, then your additional costs will be insignificant.

For whom is the All Inclusive tariff plan from Megafon designed?

An operator can reach a huge number of users with its offer. It doesn’t really matter whether you hold the handset in your hands just to make calls or load your tablet with new movies, the conditions will be favorable in any case. The advantage of the Megafon All Inclusive network tariff is its cost, which combines the entire range of services. This includes free conversation minutes and Internet traffic with the most convenient access method. Thus, the offer becomes useful to both schoolchildren, students, the working population, and the elderly. This optimal solution takes into account most of the wishes of modern subscribers.

Personalized service

What do you imagine when you hear the phrase “Individual service”? A special kind attitude towards yourself as a privileged subscriber and, possibly, several beautiful girls who will fulfill any of your requests and consider it a great honor. Let's take a closer look at what Megafon presents as an individual service:

(+7 – for calls to the Contact Center from roaming). Attractive girls on the other end of the line, solving your problems - counted.
Special conditions for the provision of the “Promised Payment” service: - the maximum established amount of the promised payment is 2,000 rubles; - validity period - 7 days; - short combination of numbers for activation - *106#.

As we can see, individual conditions are not so diverse and do not differ particularly in wealth. And it’s not a fact that the girls in the Contact Center will consider solving your problem their privilege and honor. However, if you don’t want to wait in line to call the operator - which, by the way, is practically non-existent. – then VIP status is an excellent solution for you.

Characteristics of Megafon offer

If I may say so, then the “All Inclusive VIP” tariff is absolute, as is its cost. However, it depends on the region of connection and varies between 2000-2700 rubles per month. Payment is debited once a month, on the day of initial activation. For such a significant payment, the subscriber receives:

Unlimited communication within the network. At the same time, the region of the country where the subscriber himself and the person with whom he communicates is located does not matter. Full unlimited coverage applies throughout the country.
Conversations with other subscribers around the country also don’t have to be too limited, because the package includes 5,000 minutes in any direction. You can also use minutes to make calls to landline numbers.
The volume of SMS messages is gigantic - 5000. It is extremely difficult for the average user of cellular communication services to use it. According to the terms of the package, they can be sent throughout the country to any network.
The Internet traffic is such that you can not deny yourself anything - 20 GB. Access is provided in 3G and 4G networks depending on the available coverage in a particular region.

Important! Although it is extremely difficult to use all the specified limits, they are still limited, so it is worth checking your balances at least several times a month. You can do this by dialing ✶558#

For these purposes, you can also use your Personal Account, which is available for registration on the official Megafon website.

Among the interesting features of the tariff is the transfer of unused minutes, SMS, and Internet to the next month. This is convenient and profitable - the transfer does not require the participation of the subscriber, everything happens automatically.

Roaming in Russia and abroad

“All inclusive VIP” is great for communication and correspondence while roaming within the MegaFon network. Because the conditions are similar to the home region. But surfing the Internet when abroad will be quite expensive, since a fee of 9.9 rubles is charged for each megabyte.

How to check the remaining minutes

There are several methods to check the remaining minutes, as well as other packet data: Dial the combination *558# and the call key. After the request, all the necessary data will appear on the screen. If you have installed the MegaFon application or have access to your personal account, you can view the details of the minutes using this method.
By calling the toll-free number 0500995, a voice menu will be called up. By listening to the instructions, you will be able to find out how many unused minutes and other services are left.

Monthly subscription fee

The subscription fee is 2000 rubles.

After switching to the tariff, or from the moment of its activation, only half of the monthly subscription fee will be charged, and 50% of the services provided will be provided.

How to get VIP status in Megafon?

There are 3 ways to become a Megafon VIP client:

the second involves connecting to a premium tariff plan (“Turn on! Watch+” or “Turn on! Premium”);
the third allows the purchase of a privileged position in your personal account for 3 thousand rubles (the special service will remain for a year).

The listed approaches do not contain additional conditions and requirements. It is enough to complete any of the specified actions and gain the right to a new level. Only the time for providing improved conditions differs slightly.

What services are provided and the monthly cost?

Megafon's "Vip" tariff in 2021 includes the following options:

Protection against accidental registration of paid subscriptions.
Unlimited access to Megafon TV.
Ability to use instant messengers with a balance of 0.
Unlimited Internet access.
SMS packages, minutes.
1 day of free roaming.

Description of tariffs “No overpayments. VIP", "No overpayments. Premium":

Characteristics	VIP	Premium
Subscription fee, rub.	1800	3300
Internet	Unlimited	Unlimited
minutes	2500	5000
SMS	300	300
Roaming without payment per month	1 day	2 days

The table shows that there are practically no differences between the 2 tariffs, with the exception of packages of minutes. But “Premium” costs almost 2 times more than “VIP”.

Let's consider each characteristic separately.

Mobile Internet

Mobile Internet in 2021 is not limited by anything, with the exception of downloading torrents. Traffic can be distributed free of charge via Wi-Fi or USB connection to any number of devices.

If the balance is zero, then you will not be able to use the Internet, but you can use popular instant messengers without restrictions

Paying attention to the reviews, you can see that access to popular communication applications can help out significantly if there are no funds left in your account

Minutes and messages

SMS included in the package can be sent to any numbers of Russian operators, without restrictions by region. The only exceptions are messages to short numbers. Their cost depends on the provider providing the service.

The minutes included in the package are debited for calls to any network, including calls to Megafon subscribers. When the minutes from the main package run out, an additional package worth 50 rubles is automatically connected. It includes 50 minutes for calls to other networks and landline numbers. Unlimited calls are provided on the Megafon network.

The cost of minutes (if the auto-renewal service is disabled), SMS when the main package is used up, depends on the subscriber’s location.

Price	Home region	Other regions
Cost of a minute when calling on a home network, rub.	2	2.2
Cost per minute when calling to landline numbers, rub.	3	5
Sending a message, rub.	2.2	3.5

Minute packages do not include calls to other countries; they are paid separately. The cost of a minute of conversation with a subscriber from another country can be reduced by using the “Warm welcome” option. While studying reviews, we often came across positive comments regarding the service.

Free roaming

Tariffication
Using the service, you can accumulate free roaming days. For each month during which the “No overpayments” tariffs were used. VIP", "No overpayments. Premium" from Megafon gives 1-2 days of free roaming, respectively.

Of course, there are some nuances. A client located in another country is provided with 60 minutes of calls and 1 GB of Internet free of charge per day.

You can use the accumulated minutes and traffic only when you are in another country, when accessing the Internet, or using voice communication.

Having considered the reviews, it can be noted that the service is liked not only by those who often go on business trips, but also by those who simply go on vacation once a year. For many, this point serves as another reason to switch to “No overpayments. VIP", "No overpayments. Premium" Megafon.

What to expect for subscribers

Like most tariffs from Megafon, “All Inclusive VIP” has different tariff conditions depending on the region of connection. You can get detailed information on the official website: https://megafon.ru/tariffs/alltariffs/all_inclusive_vip/vip.html.

In 2009, MTS offered a tariff that was not only similar in content, but also had a similar name.

The only significant difference was in the volume of Internet traffic: instead of the usual volume of 20 GB for Megafon, 100 MB was offered. At the moment, the service is archived and is not available for connection.

Calls. Within the network, VIP users can communicate endlessly, and this condition cannot be affected even by frequent movement around the country. For calls to subscribers of other operators, 5,000 minutes are provided in Moscow, Krasnodar and a number of other regions, as well as 3,000 in St. Petersburg and 3,500 in Nizhny Novgorod. Once the entire package is exhausted, the connection cost will be 1.5 rubles/min. for local and 3 rubles/min. for long-distance calls in Krasnodar and Nizhny Novgorod, 2 and 3 rubles. – for Moscow, 1.85 and 3.5 rubles. - for St. Petersburg.
Messages. The package includes from 3500 to 5000 SMS depending on the region of connection. Upon exhaustion of the provided limit, 1 text message will have the same price ratio as calls of 1.5 and 3 rubles depending on the direction of sending for Nizhny Novgorod, 2.9 and 3 for Moscow, 1.85 and 3 for St. Petersburg. MMS are not included in the subscription fee, the cost remains fixed - 7 rubles.
Internet. For Muscovites, the volume of Internet traffic will be 20 GB, for Nizhny Novgorod residents - 15, and for residents of Yekaterinburg even less - 12 GB. However, in addition to this, all subscribers are offered a mobile package of MegaFon channels and 4 films as a gift. An excellent offer for long trips and evening traffic jams. As soon as the allotted amount of traffic is used up, “Auto-renewal” will be activated automatically. The additional 200 MB will cost 20 rubles. You can count on 15 such “additives” per month.
Subscription fee. Considering that a tariff with unlimited communication within the network and impressive package offers “All Inclusive VIP” by definition cannot be cheap, Megafon tried to make it as affordable as possible not only for business representatives, but also for families forced to be separated due to business trips or other circumstances. For Moscow, the subscription fee is 2,700 rubles/month. And 1990 - for residents of Yekaterinburg. In some regions, a daily fee has been introduced, for example, in Nizhny Novgorod, a charge of 66.63 rubles per day is provided.
