MegaFon has released a special tariff for the Internet of Things

Subscribe to news:

MegaFon introduced a new tariff plan called “Internet of Things”. It is designed for devices running on the NB-IoT standard. Thus, the operator became a pioneer in the industry in Russia.

MegaFon began the fight for the right to be called the first telecom operator in Russia to provide communication services in networks of the NB-IoT standard.

NB-IoT (NarrowBand Internet of Things) technology is a cellular communication standard for the Internet of Things. It is aimed at devices with low data volumes.

A month ago, another federal operator, MTS, announced the readiness of its infrastructure to launch Russia’s first federal network for Internet of Things services and devices in the LTE standard based on NB-IoT technology. Then MTS reported on the successful launch of the NB-IoT network in 20 cities of Russia. These are: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan, Stavropol, Nevinnomysk, Rostov-on-Don, Omsk, Tver, Almetyevsk, Arsk, Tomsk, Nizhny-Novgorod, Surgut, Vladivostok. By the end of this year, the operator plans to provide continuous NB-IoT coverage in all cities with a population of over a million and some other large cities in Russia.

In its commentary regarding the primacy, the MegaFon press service tried to challenge the primacy of MTS in the implementation of NB-IoT technologies in Russia.

“MegaFon updated the network core last year to support the NB IoT protocol and software at base stations in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Innopolis and other cities. Today MegaFon has made significant progress relative to other operators. It offers its clients a comprehensive Internet of Things infrastructure - a ready-to-implement NB-IoT network, NB-IoT solutions, NB-IoT devices and the most convenient M2M platform on the telecom operator market.”

What is special about the tariff from MegaFon

The operator’s representatives call the “Internet of Things” tariff unique.

“Tariffs for the NB-IoT standard did not exist before our tariff,” said Pavel Ivanchenko, head of implementation and development of M2M/IoT products for MegaFon’s corporate business. — Companies used equipment that operates in 2G, 3G, 4G standards, and it was for them that we launched various tariff offers for charging data exchange between IoT equipment. Now we have opened the opportunity to use NB-IoT on commercial public terms. And we give impetus to integrators and other market participants to move towards the development of solutions based on NB-IoT together with us.”

MegaFon's new tariff will replace its predecessor - “Management of remote objects”. The old tariff is no longer available for new clients. Subscribers who are already using “Management of remote objects” will be able to switch to “Internet of Things” if desired.

The Internet of Things is applicable not only to working with NB-IoT devices, but also in 2G, 3G and 4G networks. The tariff includes a dedicated APN network. It provides traffic encryption as well as data transfer via the CSD protocol for companies that still use a voice communication channel in their devices.

The tariff plan also includes access to the M2M monitoring platform. With its help, customers will be able to manage a network of Internet of Things devices regardless of location.

New scam from Megafon

Good afternoon. Every time I am convinced that we do not have normal operators. Everyone has what they want, and most importantly, nothing can be done about it. I have the Internet turned off on my home SIM card in my phone, which is what the traffic counter on it shows, but Megafon has its own vision of this. Megafon came up with the idea that I access the Internet from it and, most importantly, I always consume only 0.24 MB for some reason (That’s the kind of jeweler I am, with a diamond eye.) and calmly writes off 5 rubles, and when 5 rubles is not enough, it can write off 20 rubles. When making requests to the support service, they accuse me of playing around, and as always, they have nothing to do with it. Just a cry from the heart, because... You can't do anything with them anyway. I have cut off the Internet now via *105*4*4#, I wonder if the charges will continue?

Android forgot to ask you how much internet to spend - remember your smartphone lives on the internet

for this purpose, he always had the Internet on on another SIM card, and there was nothing, and then suddenly he took it and started spending it and the counter doesn’t count.

and he doesn’t care about it if the network disappears

(such a squiggle on smartphones)

and about 240. perhaps there is such a threshold for counting.

downloaded 100 minimum traffic 240 and installs it

and judging by the line “call hold” you haven’t even disabled all paid options on the SIM card

Didn't this line bother you?

if you believe these numbers

Don't talk bullshit, do me a favor.

This is a package for a day for 20 rubles, because... more than 1MB of internet was used

Holding a call doesn't bother me. The Internet that you don’t use confuses you. Why does the network disappear here? Before this, for a long time, even if the network disappeared, nothing happened, but then suddenly it started.

It’s the same situation, but the phone is a classic old woman’s phone, with no free memory, which has nothing to catch on the Internet at all.

Megaphone thieves. They write off money for everything, if you have minutes in the package and call forwarding is turned on, then the money will be written off instead of minutes!

If the tariff includes minutes to mobile numbers and you call a mobile phone with a direct number, then money will be debited, not minutes!

If you decide to change the tariff with a subscription fee, then the subscription fee will be charged immediately for a month in advance, and when you read all the conditions of the tariff, which are not indicated in full until you switch to it and decide to return back to your tariff, then the subscription fee the fee will be charged again, despite the fact that you have not used a single second, not a single megabyte, etc. from this tariff.

And when you ask the megaphone staff what kind of nonsense this is, you will hear a bunch of excuses and hints that it’s your fault.

So these green-assed people even removed the Internet service from the personal account. It is now impossible to disable it remotely via LAN (for example, relatives fly overseas, or parents from another region), you can disable it only with a SIM card through the ancient USSD menu. Moreover, if you just dial *105# on your smartphone, then nothing will happen. You need to dial *105*4*4# and only then will the guide service menu on the Internet service open.

My mother has a monochrome dialer for old people with large buttons.

You can't even register an access point there.

And of course, she also started having the same bullshit until I turned off the Internet in my personal account.

This phone was purchased in 2009

For some reason I haven’t been bothering with this for so many years, but then this spring I suddenly started.

How to disable

The client can disable the “Internet of Things” option at any time through the business account on the operator’s website or with the help of a manager. To disable the tariff of the same name, just switch to another one or completely abandon the number in your personal account.

If the subscriber decides to completely stop using the company’s services, then he needs to terminate the contract. To do this, you need to contact the operator’s managers and send a written notification.

The Internet of Things tariff and option allows you to use various smart telemetry devices and sensors at no extra cost. But they are available only to corporate clients (legal entities and individual entrepreneurs). There are alternative solutions and tariff plans for individuals.

A scam or a megaphone promotion for those who can’t count

Good afternoon Please don’t scold me for mistakes, I know even without you that there are many of them. Have you all seen the megaphone advertisement with promotions? Do you shake your smartphone and get personalized offers? So here's to the point: I got a 30% discount on the Samsung S8. I went to the store’s website and looked at the phone and it costs 29,990 minus 30%, which turns out to be 20,993 rubles. More bonuses have accumulated on the Sberbank card, minus them and the amount comes out to a little more than 19,000 rubles. I came to the salon and ordered a phone, the next day I came to buy it and then it turns out that the megaphone has completely different mathematics 29990 - 30% = 27990. I called the hotline, still hoping that the girl consultant was mistaken, but there is no error, no, megaphone thinks differently - after all, according to the owners, 30% of almost 30 thousand is only 2 thousand rubles. The promotion was valid until July 31, I wrote a claim on the 30th, they promised to respond within 7 days, but I never received an answer. I concluded: the owners of this telecom operator are super greedy people who started working as thimble makers in parks and near train stations. Why do a promotion for those who don’t know how to count? What killed me the most was the answer from the operator from the hotline, that the phone costs not 30, but 40 thousand, although on the website and the communication salon its price is 29,990 and without any additional discount.
