Megafon's "First Family" tariff. Description of the tariff for children and pensioners  

Author: iMobile

On August 5, 2021, the mobile operator Megafon launched a new “First Family” tariff plan. Based on the name, one would think that this is a family tariff, like, for example, Close People from Beeline or WE MTS from MTS. But in fact, this is a regular tariff without a subscription fee.

Let's look at the parameters using the example of Moscow and the region. At the beginning - the usual parameters, which are unlikely to surprise you with anything, and then - the features of the tariff.

TOP 5 best mobile cellular operators – Rating of unlimited tariffs 2021

It's difficult to choose the best cellular operator, especially when you consider all the great offers and special promotions.
Mobile network coverage is a problem for many Russian residents, especially those living in rural areas. It is worth choosing an inexpensive tariff with unlimited Internet that provides a good signal in your area. Beeline is in the list in second place among the best cellular communication companies, thanks to its excellent coverage, reliability and speed. Tele2 is the best cheap mobile Internet provider with low prices and discounts. Yota also showed good results, as did its competitor Megafon.

We've analyzed coverage, internet speed, reliability, customer service, user reviews and package prices to help you make the right choice. The rating includes the best cellular providers that are distinguished by high quality of services among competitors in 2021.

MTS

MTS is one of the best cellular operators due to its large selection of tariffs and the ability to connect additional options. Compare the plans offered in Russia and choose the most profitable one. The My Smart package allows you to set limits yourself. 20 GB of mobile Internet and a minimum number of minutes will cost 625 rubles per month for Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk.

If you are served by another operator, you can switch to MTS while keeping your number. To do this, you need to write an application on the website and select a suitable inexpensive tariff plan. Those who spend a lot of time watching videos will benefit from the option for unlimited access to Youtube. Connect to the service for 300 rubles and enjoy unlimited viewing of films, TV series and game reviews.

In your MTS personal account, you can connect services, configure or switch to another tariff, and control communication costs. In the “Options for Savings” electronic form, you can select the current tariff, and the assistant will tell you how to save on trips or calls to other countries.

Conditions for connecting additional SIM cards

Before connecting an additional number to the Beeline “Family” tariff, you need to familiarize yourself with the following conditions:

• The balance of the connected SIM card must be positive;
• SIM cards that connect to the family network must be registered in the same region;
• To add SIM cards from other operators to the family network, you need to write an application about their transition to Beeline and wait for the transition (takes 8 working days).

Only the main user can control the consumption of packages. He also pays the bills: both the monthly subscription fee and the cost of services spent in excess of the packages. Money is debited from additional SIM cards only if the main one is blocked or disabled.

Only paid subscriptions and roaming are not paid from the main SIM card. Money for these services will be withdrawn from the account of the card to which they were connected.

How to connect numbers to the Beeline Family tariff

You can connect a number to the Beeline “Family” tariff in several ways:

• In the subscriber's personal account;
• Call 067407761;
• By phone or in the company office.

Let's look at each method in more detail.

In your personal account

In the Beeline “Family” tariff, it is most convenient to connect numbers through the user’s personal account.

1. Log in and go to the window with information about your current tariff. Click on the “Add number” button.
2. Enter the required number in the window that opens and click “Send invitation”.
3. Wait for an SMS with a code to accept the invitation to be sent to the selected number. Enter the code in the required field.
4. Reboot the device with the additional SIM card for the tariff plan to take effect.

You can also accept the invitation in the subscriber’s personal account by logging in with an additional SIM card.

By phone 067407761

If adding a SIM card to the “Family” tariff from Beeline through your personal account is inconvenient for you, there is another option to connect a second number. Namely, you can call 067407761.

This connection method is very simple. You just need to dial a combination of numbers, press the button and follow the answering machine prompts.

After the call ends, reboot the second device for the tariff to take effect.

In a conversation with the operator

You can also connect a new SIM card by talking to an operator on the hotline or in a company salon. To do this, you need to have enough money in your account to pay the subscription fee and name the numbers that you need to connect.

A confirmation will be sent to the number, so it is important that the owner of the additional SIM card is next to you at the time of connection.

Megaphone

Megafon has been operating in the mobile operator market for a long time and receives good reviews from its subscribers. Choose from the catalog tariffs with ready-made service packages, pay-as-you-go or unlimited plans. Popular tariff “Turn on! Communicate" includes 500 minutes of calls throughout Russia, unlimited Internet and an unlimited number of SMS messages for 500 rubles per month for subscribers from Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk.

Buy a SIM card from Megafon for a modem, tablet or router with unlimited Internet or pay-as-you-go traffic. Tariff “Turn on! Look” is good for film buffs. In addition to a large package of minutes, the Megafon TV application is available with a free database of films, TV series and broadcast of sports TV channels.

In the “Turn on” tariff line from the mobile operator Megafon, it is possible to receive cashback for payments. The longer you are a client of the company, the greater the percentage returned from purchases. For subscribers traveling abroad, Megafon has prepared one day of free roaming, when communication services are paid for at home. This is the fourth best cell phone carrier based on user reviews in 2021.

Yota

The mobile operator Yota has a convenient designer in which subscribers independently create a tariff: the number of minutes for calls, the volume of mobile Internet and additional options. Create a minimal package if you practically never use a smartphone, or add more services if you are used to not denying yourself communication and mobile entertainment.

A big plus of Yota tariffs is the availability of unlimited applications for smartphones. For 30 rubles per month you can use VK, Instagram, Odnoklassniki unlimitedly. The cost of services does not change when moving to another region; clients of the mobile operator communicate with friends and relatives throughout Russia without overpayments. For tablets, Yota offers a range of tariffs with unlimited Internet and applications.

By installing the operator’s mobile application, you can set up a tariff online, find out and top up your balance, activate automatic payment, and get specialist support. The operator has good reviews and inexpensive prices for communication services, so it is included in the list of the best and is in third place in the ranking.

Beeline

Customers who chose the Beeline telecom operator did not regret their choice. The company provides high-quality communications at inexpensive prices, and also gives gifts to subscribers. You can choose the one that suits you from a large number of tariffs. The Unlim package includes unlimited Internet, 600 minutes of communication, 300 SMS messages. For the first three months, the subscription fee in Samara, Crimea and Chelyabinsk is 345 rubles.

For large families there are special rates for three or four numbers with a 20% discount for a year of using mobile services. On the site you can choose a beautiful number for free, and also transfer from another operator, keeping your current phone number. To save on home Internet, Beeline offers comprehensive tariffs from 690 rubles per month, including unlimited traffic at speeds of up to 100 Mbit/sec.

The Beeline TV application will be useful for film buffs and those who want to watch their favorite programs in any convenient place. More than a thousand films and hundreds of TV channels will be available for viewing on TV, smartphone and tablet. You can create a separate profile for your child with parental controls to ensure that the content viewed online is safe.

How to connect a number to a Beeline family tariff

To connect other numbers, use your personal account. Here you can add a number or disconnect a number from a family group, view call details, and request current balances. To connect the all-for-family tariff to a basic number, look at your personal account or call 0611.

It will not be possible to connect a number via SMS as an additional family number - there are no commands for this. If you have any connection difficulties, please contact the help desk.

Reviews show that the Beeline family tariff line is beneficial for subscribers. They connect a mobile connection and receive home Internet and mobile TV as a gift. If you connect telephony separately, Internet and TV separately, it will be significantly more expensive. The only complaints we have are that Beeline's coverage area is not very wide, including in big cities.

Additional features

Family tariffs of the Beeline operator would not be complete without additional options. The first of them is anti-virus software Kaspersky Internet Security for 119 rubles/month for two devices. This is the most powerful protection for your computer, smartphone or tablet. An additional option for each tariff is apartment insurance in the amount of 400 thousand rubles for an additional subscription fee of 150 rubles/month. Insurance provides.

Tele 2

If you are looking for an operator with high-quality communications and inexpensive tariffs, pay attention to Tele2. The company offers packages starting from 200 rubles per month, as well as tariff plans without a subscription fee. The most popular tariff in the catalog. It is suitable for young people who prefer to communicate a lot and browse Internet sites without restrictions.

The advantage of Tele2 tariffs is non-tariffed traffic for instant messengers (Vkontakte, Instagram, Viber). Most can be customized to your preferences: change the number of minutes and gigabytes of mobile Internet, as well as activate additional options. Tele2 runs promotions and gives discounts for subscribers; install the provider’s mobile application and receive personal offers from the company daily.

If there is not enough mobile Internet within the tariff, you can extend it until the next package is charged. Additional 3 GB of Internet traffic costs 200 rubles. This amount is enough for 15 hours on social networks or 18 hours of listening to music. Tele2 has received many positive reviews, which is why it occupies a leading position in the ranking of quality telecom operators in Russia.

Benefits of family plans

If you connect each family member to the operator’s package tariff, then the packages will be spent unevenly: someone prefers to talk more and hardly uses Internet traffic, while someone constantly surfs the Internet, but does not have time to spend the included minutes.

The essence of family tariffs is that one package of services can be used by several people, members of the same family. The subscription fee is debited only from the balance of the main number. At the same time, you can connect not only the phones of family members, but also other devices to the main number.

Benefits of family tariffs:

• General balance, simplified mobile payment system;
• There is no need to overpay for unused minutes and gigabytes of the Internet: services are spent from a common “boiler”, and if there is a shortage, additional packages are connected;
• Cost control.

The most important advantage: the Internet, call minutes and SMS from the package can be spent traveling around Russia under the same conditions as at home. This is convenient for family trips and in cases where only one family member leaves (for example, on a business trip).

These tariffs have only one drawback: sometimes several users quickly use up the package of services, and the main owner of the tariff has to buy additional packages of minutes and Internet. However, in such a situation, depending on the operator, you can switch to a higher tariff.

A special tariff for the “My Family” group - this is exactly how Megafon’s new “First Family” tariff is officially announced. I have already talked about: link to description, but now let’s just look at the bonuses that await a subscriber with the “First Family” tariff after joining the group:

• Unlimited calls to group numbers with any balance.
• Unlimited messengers for any balance. Messengers include: Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, TamTam, Snapchat, MegaFon Life, IMO, FB messenger, eMotion, Chigap (including voice and video calls).
• 1 GB internet added to the tariff every month.

Family tariffs of operators

The best products for the whole family are thought out by the Beeline operator; they belong to the “Close People” tariff line. If you choose a tariff for 900 rubles per month, you can connect 2 additional numbers to the service package, for 1500 rubles - 3 family numbers, for 2500 - 5 additional numbers.

Important: all numbers must belong to the same region and, of course, belong to the Beeline network. If one of the family members is a subscriber of another operator, you can make the transition without changing the number. The one-time payment for porting a number to the Beeline network is only 100 rubles, which the operator will return to the balance after porting the number.

Let's consider the conditions of the family tariff “Close People 4”, which a family of 4 people can comfortably use. For a subscription fee of 1500 rubles. the group receives:

• Unlimited Internet;
• 2000 minutes of calls;
• 300 messages;
• Home Internet (300 Mbit/s) and television (155 home TV channels).

When connecting each number to the general package of services, no additional fee is deducted from the balance for this tariff, but for cheaper ones it can range from 100 to 200 rubles per month, and does not depend on the number of rooms. Other services on connected numbers are not charged; minutes and Internet are charged from the main number. However, family members pay for paid subscriptions and international roaming on their own. If these services are relevant to them, it is necessary to keep a certain amount in the account.

Additionally, it is worth noting that numbers connected to common packages can communicate with each other for free. Also, each family member can additionally activate “Favorite Number” and communicate with it for free (even from another operator), and not use shared package minutes.

A similar tariff is offered by MTS - “Our Smart”. For 1,040 rubles per month, it offers a 25 GB package (unlimited for the main number), and 1,500 minutes and SMS.

You can connect from one to five numbers to general packages. As on Beeline, these can be numbers with a connection region similar to the main number. Regardless of the number of additional SIM cards, the fee for the “General package” option is 52 rubles per month.

A special feature of the MTS solution is that for each family number you can set limits on the use of general packages. Also, all additional numbers can remain at the tariffs used, and it is for them that payment will be made if the total volume of services ends. But the Internet is available only under the terms of the main number and there is an extension option - your own package is not available for use when participating in a family group.

The MegaFon operator previously offered a separate “Family” service, by activating which you can use the “All Inclusive” tariffs for a large family (up to 10 people). Subscribers of the “All Inclusive L” tariff and higher could connect additional numbers. The procedure is performed as follows: you need to create a community in your personal account and invite participants to it, then minutes, SMS and Internet traffic can be shared. The service is paid at the following rates:

• Community organization 50 rub.;
• Entry fee to the community for each participant is 50 rubles;
• Subscription fee for each participant is 3 rubles. per day.

The community organizer pays for the creation of the community and a subscription fee for each participant, and participants only pay for the entry fee. At the moment, the “Family” service is not available for new activations, including subscribers on the archived tariff plans of the “All Inclusive” line. MegaFon does not provide other family tariffs or options.

Description

The “Family” option in Megafon allows you to share packages of minutes, SMS and gigabytes with your relatives, friends, acquaintances - with any subscribers of this operator that you choose. It looks like this:

• You are the organizer of the community and the owner of the donor tariff, the packages from which will be spent.
• The people you invite are community members who use packages shared by the organizer.
• Your rate is “All inclusive” L, L 12.16, XL, XL 12.16, VIP or VIP 12.16. Members can be enrolled in any plan from this carrier.
• The organizer pays a monthly fee according to the tariff and bears part of the costs for the “Family” service.
• Participants use minutes, SMS and gigabytes on equal terms, without individual restrictions or priorities. Everyone pays to join the community.

The maximum number of invitees is 10 people.

The best rates for surfing the Internet

Internet surfing has become an integral part of the life of a modern person, but at the same time – a large expense item. With the tariffs listed below for the same or less money, you can provide yourself with Internet for a month.

Tele2 “My conversation”

One of the most budget tariff plans that allows you to access the Internet at any convenient time throughout Russia. The exception is the Republic of Crimea. The tariff includes 5 GB of high-speed Internet for only 150 rubles per month. Other bonuses include: sending 50 SMS within the country, unlimited communication within Tele2 and 200 minutes to other regional operators. If there are any unused minutes or megabytes left, they are transferred to the next month for free. Users also like the payment system - a certain amount is withdrawn daily (depending on the region, 4-10 rubles).

How much do services cost when Family tariff packages end?

Package services included in the tariff plan may expire. The TP offer is valid for a certain amount of minutes, SMS, and Internet traffic. When they end before the end of the monthly term of the TP, the following prices for the services provided are included:

• within the Beeline network, a minute of conversation will cost 0.25 rubles, for other operators – 2.5 rubles;
• outside your home region (RF), you need to pay 5 rubles per minute of an outgoing call;
• messages at home 2.5 rubles, in Russia – 5 rubles;
• The Internet is connected automatically in packages of 5 GB for 160 rubles.

All prices indicated here are calculated for Moscow; check the cost in your region on the Beeline website, or at the service office of your city.

Best call rates

If you spend most of your time within a Wi-Fi network, there is no need for large amounts of traffic. The first factor in choosing a tariff plan is the number of free minutes both online and offline.

Smarts “What you need 500+”

The main reason for the tariff plan to be included in the rating is the availability of 500 free minutes for outgoing calls per month. You can make calls anywhere in the country, but with the Internet, not everything is so simple. Standard conditions provide 3 GB, but it works stably only in certain regions. You can view the coverage map on the company's official website. The tariff plan can be recommended for communication lovers or those who have a good Internet signal in the area. The tariff also includes 200 SMS messages.

Price: 245 rubles.

MTS "Smart"

Many MTS users liked this tariff because of the ease of setup. As always, it includes unlimited within the network. There are 3 service levels: 10 GB and 200 minutes, 15 GB and 400 minutes, 20 GB and 600 minutes. The price for the entry-level package is 500 rubles, and for the most advanced – 700 rubles. Everyone can independently choose the tariff plan that can meet their needs. They are all moderately priced. The main disadvantage of the tariff is the lack of free Internet, there is not even unlimited access to social networks. The operator additionally gives 2 months of MTS TV Light free of charge.

Price: 500 rubles.

MegaFon "Turn on! Communicate"

The tariff plan is in demand due to the possibility of connecting to unlimited traffic. The operator still offers unlimited Internet volume for using instant messengers. The standard tariff includes 15 GB of Internet for visiting any websites. It also provides unlimited communication with other MegaFon users and 600 minutes for all operators in Russia. Prices and conditions are subject to regional fluctuations; in St. Petersburg, 20 GB of traffic is given, and in Samara the price is 100 rubles lower.

Price: 600 rubles.

Beeline "Family"

The tariff plan is not cheap, but it includes as many as 1200 minutes for communication between any operators and 300 SMS is a good bonus. It is mainly chosen because of the endless Internet. The tariff was called “Family” due to the possibility of almost unlimited communication with relatives and loved ones. If you connect to home Internet, you won’t have to pay anything extra, it’s already included in the price. Moreover, the operator offers a solid speed of 100 Mbit/sec. If you pay an additional 200 rubles, you can activate and transfer 20 GB of Internet to two contacts, as well as share minutes and SMS.

Price: 900 rubles.

Family tariff: description

To begin with, it should be clarified that it has a lot of names. The official name under which this product is registered is “Everything for the Family.”

This service is intended for family use, in which the options included in it are removed and distributed from the primary number (the so-called base), namely:

• Minutes for calls.
• SMS messages.
• Internet traffic.

As long as the main user is legally capable, funds are debited from him. After it is blocked, everyone in the “family” will be serviced independently and have their own personal balance.

The best tariff plans with a large amount of traffic

Sometimes even a large traffic package is not enough? It is worth using tariff plans with completely or almost unlimited Internet.

TELE2 “INTERNET TO TABLET”

Inexpensive tariff plan with limited Internet (15 GB of traffic). But you can absolutely unlimitedly use the main social networks, the proprietary Tele 2 application and navigation programs. This is one of the few operators that transfer remaining traffic from last month to the next reporting period absolutely free of charge. 500 rubles is the highest rate in force in Moscow. In the regions the price is about 300 rubles.

Price: 500 rubles.

Tele2 “My Unlimited”

This is a budget tariff plan for people who constantly use the Internet. In addition to unlimited traffic, it provides 500 free minutes for calls between all Russian operators. Even a small number of SMS (50 pieces) is not too upsetting, given that you can almost always use the messenger. The cost of the Moscow tariff is 650 rubles, but in St. Petersburg it costs 510 rubles, and in Samara – 400 rubles. The operator also offers the service of sharing available gigabytes between other Tele2 users.

Price: 650 rubles.

Beeline "Unlim"

In terms of price ratio and available bonuses, the tariff is one of the best. It provides unlimited Internet, 600 free minutes for all operators and 300 SMS per month. With the “Delhi Gigi” option for 150 rubles, it is possible to transfer up to 15 GB of endless Internet to another user. This is a good opportunity to save on the tariff for another family member. Beeline offers web surfing not for show; the Internet is really fast and allows you to watch high-resolution videos in real time.

Price: 690 rubles.

MTS Tariffishche

One of the most attractive tariffs in Russia, which offers the purchase “in bulk” of large volumes of minutes, SMS (500-3000) and other services. Regardless of other purchases, the operator provides access to unlimited Internet. A nice bonus is a gift in the form of a subscription to IVI if you purchase 1500 or 3000 minutes. There is one way to save on paying for a tariff plan - connect the “MTS TV Application + Tariffishche”, which will cost 790 rubles. In this case, the user will have access to 4 online cinemas, 60 TV channels and TV series from FOX NOW.

Minuses

The tariff is quite profitable and convenient, but it also has some negative sides. These include, in particular:

1. Not a very convenient tariff plan management system. Although it is carried out using the My Beeline mobile software, which can be downloaded on the official website, the setup system and menu are not very convenient and understandable.
2. The main subscriber can fully control the costs and even the subscriptions of the remaining associated numbers, which is not always acceptable.
3. The benefit from using this tariff plan is significantly reduced when the prepaid volume of traffic, minutes or SMS is exhausted.
4. The ability to connect to home Internet is also included in the price, but not every subscriber needs it. Moreover, home Internet from Beeline is not very stable and has a number of negative reviews.

Some users also highlight other disadvantages related to the individual needs of subscribers.

The best roaming rates

Frequent travel abroad forces you to either pay dearly for communications on a permanent card, or buy a SIM from a local operator and lose contacts with friends from home. This can be avoided with the following tariffs.

Tele2 "Premium"

One of the most expensive tariffs from the operator, which includes 50 GB of traffic, 500 SMS and 2000 minutes within Russia, regardless of the operator. It cannot be called aimed exclusively at roaming, so calls and SMS will be made at standard rates. But the package includes the option of unlimited Internet outside the country. The only limitation is that abroad the normal speed will be maintained only for the first 200 MB per day, then it decreases to 128 Kbps.

Price: 1500 rubles.

Beeline “All for 1800 + roaming”

The tariff from Beeline is distinguished by a successful combination of roaming and home services. It can be connected for just 1 month and used in more than 100 countries of the world, including almost all resorts and popular tourist destinations. The price for services in all regions is fixed. The tariff plan includes free incoming calls abroad, 3000 minutes, 3000 SMS and 15 GB of traffic. Calls within the network are not limited.

Price: 1800 rubles.

Megafon "Free Roaming Day"

The service can be ordered for just one day in addition to the main tariff plan. It operates in 135 countries with developed tourism. Money is debited only upon the first call made or when logging into the network. In the official application you can win one day of roaming for free at roulette. Thanks to the ability to pay only for those days on which the traveler uses the services, the tariff can be considered inexpensive. However, it is definitely not suitable for daily use.

Price: from 99 rubles per day.

It's time to start saving on the Internet and communication, even while roaming. All you need to do is choose a tariff plan with suitable conditions and connect to it. This solution will allow you to save up to 100% of the price for mobile services per month.

Tariff plans “Family” and “EVERYTHING!”: what are the differences?

The group of tariff plans “For you, family and home” became available for connection from May 16, 2021. Previously, instead of it, Beeline offered tariff plans “EVERYTHING!” and “EVERYTHING for the family”: this tariff worked on numbers connected to the main one. If you look at the description of tariff plans, it becomes clear that in fact almost nothing has changed.

Significant differences include the following:

• Instead of 5 tariff options, they now offer 3;
• Mobile traffic has increased;
• The number of minutes in the most expensive offer has been reduced from 5,000 to 4,000 with the same price tag;
• TV and landline Internet have been added to the list of services;
• Free rental of a TV set-top box is provided, and on some tariffs - free rental of a Wi-Fi router and subscription to the ivi online cinema.

The current option is suitable for people who do not want to pay separately for TV, Internet and mobile communications, but want to get everything in one package. Considering that the price of the “Family” tariff from Beeline is no different from “EVERYTHING!”, the savings are significant.
