Unlimited messengers

A special development was introduced for all subscribers of the “Tune in” tariff with no traffic restrictions for the popular applications WhatsApp, Viber and Emotion.

You can pay based on the actual use of programs from your phone; funds are debited daily (from the moment you go online, 24 hours of access without limits are activated).

IP telephony is the cheapest way

Are you looking for the opportunity to make the cheapest calls to Belarus, but don’t want to change your tariff plan? Then you should take a closer look at the tariffs of IP telephony operators. They will offer you affordable prices and high-quality communication. In order to use IP telephony services, you will need:

Computer with Internet access and headset;
VOIP adapter with a regular telephone;
Smartphone with Android application.

The most popular is the “computer and headset” combination. As for VOIP adapters, they are used only by those who understand their benefits. Also, smartphone applications from individual IP telephony operators are gaining popularity - they allow you to provide inexpensive calls to Belarus from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access.

In order to ensure favorable prices for communications with Belarus, you should select an IP telephony service provider by analyzing the prices they offer. There are a lot of operators, so finding the most suitable offer can take time. But you can make cheap calls to Belarus without changing the tariff plan on your mobile phone. We once gave preference to Zadarma.

It should be noted that calls to Belarus are almost the most expensive direction of communication. As an analysis of offers from IP telephony operators shows, the cost of calls to other countries is significantly less than to Belarus.

Connecting Megafon international roaming abroad

provides the opportunity to use mobile services in many foreign countries. However, there are some nuances:

The basic roaming service must be activated. It allows you to use the networks of other operators to send SMS, make calls and access the Internet.
The opportunity to use communication services directly abroad is provided. It is connected additionally, on top of the main roaming.
“International roaming” does not require prior connection when visiting 152 countries of the world, since the service is activated automatically upon arrival in any country from this list. The most convenient way to clarify whether certain states are included in this list or not is by visiting the page https://moscow.megafon.ru/roaming/world/. In the column “Find out the cost of services in roaming”, when you enter the name of the country, the cost of services on its territory will be indicated. If it is not included in this list, or does not provide communication services at all, then a corresponding warning will immediately appear on the page.

Note: for international roaming to be activated automatically, your account must have a certain minimum amount of funds. At the same time, Megafon will not charge a penny for the connection itself.

— When visiting certain countries, roaming connection is required in advance. It is called “Advanced International Roaming”. Its list includes over 60 states, which can be found on the page https://moscow.megafon.ru/roaming/world/wir.html.

Attention!!!: Activation of “Extended International Roaming” is carried out in advance and exclusively in Megafon communication stores! There is no charge to activate it.

It is not profitable for operators to cancel roaming

Director of the telecommunications services department at J'son & partners Kirill Kucherov told CNews that it is not profitable for the operators themselves to reduce roaming tariffs. “This is a decision imposed from above,” explains Kucherov. — It leads to a decrease in operator revenue because another roaming direction disappears. At the same time, no compensation for preferential roaming from the state is provided to either Belarusian or Russian operators.”

“Whether the regime will be extended next year will be determined by the state,” adds Kucherov. “It is quite obvious that the operators will not extend this regime of their own free will, if only because this requires at least interstate agreements.”

How to disable roaming on Megafon

Do you want to turn off roaming after being abroad? As with connecting, this operation can be accomplished in several simple ways:

Through the service team. There is a dedicated team for a specific tariff; their list can be found on Megafon’s official website.
Contact the company's head office.
Call technical support.
Through your personal account on the operator’s website.

Each of these methods is described in detail in the previous paragraph. The main difference is that, for example, when talking with an operator, as a service you need to specify that you disable roaming and refuse all additional options for communicating abroad.

SIPNET tariffs

One of the important features of SIPNET that distinguishes SIP telephony from regular telephone communication is that here each call can be serviced by several VoIP operators at once. They all offer their own conditions for making calls - different call quality and prices. With SIPNET you will always get the best rates for calls to Kazakhstan, because for each call we make, we automatically select an operator that provides the best quality of communication at the best price.
