What is “Subscription fee for voice tariff”
Under this line in Megafon there is a debiting of funds for calls, which is carried out according to your tariff plan. The difference from regular charges per call is that this payment is fixed and is charged regularly - once a month, like a regular subscription fee according to the tariff. The amount charged does not depend on how many calls you made in a particular month or who you spoke with. The amount is solely affected by the terms of the tariff plan you are using. Usually it is quite small - within 15-20 rubles. A similar calculation scheme is used on some archive tariffs. However, you may be charged separately for making calls - this also depends on the specific offer you are using.

How to find out the write-off date using your number
Considering that a cell phone number may have payments not only for the main tariff package, but also for additional options, sometimes you can get confused. And in order not to unexpectedly be left without communication, or not to lose a discount on the optimizing option, you need to use your MegaFon number to find out when the subscription fee for the tariff will be charged, and on what day the charge for additional services will be made. This is completely easy to do, and you just need to call the operator at 0500 and clarify this information.
The second option is suitable for those who use various services, and the fee is charged not only according to the main tariff. You can get the necessary information through your account on the website or through the application in the “Expenses” section.
You can also order details in your office, and this can be done completely free of charge. When placing an order, select a period that will include all mandatory charges for the tariff and services.
Knowing the date of the last charges, you will be able to find out when the next time the subscription fee will be charged on your MegaFon phone number. However, it is worth considering the write-off rules for your tariff package and options. You can clarify this information in their detailed description on the website, in the application, or through your personal account.
