Another mobile operator is undercutting cheap tariffs/options, offering more expensive versions in return.
For users of the Megafon mobile Internet on smartphones, there is little pleasant, or, to be more precise, nothing. If only one of the tariffs somehow appeals to you... And don’t forget about intranet roaming for the “Internet S” option.

The MegaFon operator is changing the terms of service for more than 4 million subscribers from Russia
The MegaFon operator is one of the three largest in Russia in terms of the number of subscribers. Every day, tens of millions of Russians use it to access the Internet, make voice calls and send messages. Today it became known that it has decided to change the terms of service for more than 4 million of its subscribers. This is a very impressive figure, and quite noticeable changes await each of them.
In fact, the MegaFon operator today announced that it is changing the terms of service for many of its subscribers, but the changes are not global. In particular, from December 20, 2021, the procedure for charging the subscription fee will change for more than 30 different options. Unfortunately, the changes are rather negative in nature, so subscribers should know in advance what awaits them, or connect to newer services that are not subject to the new rules.
