In this review we will talk about Megafon’s “Auto Renewal” - a service provided by the operator. We will provide detailed methods for disconnecting and connecting, give a description and tell you about the terms of provision. In addition, we will consider the features and possibilities of rational use. The information will be useful to all Internet users who want to constantly stay in touch, even if the funds in their account suddenly run out.
Megafon auto renewal - what is it?
Let's start the review by defining what it is - the “Auto-renewal” option of Megafon. The offer includes the ability to automatically extend traffic on the “All Inclusive” and “Turn On!” tariff lines. If you run out of available Internet package, an additional package will be activated automatically. A convenient option for those who are used to staying connected and do not want to limit their network use.
The conditions for providing auto-renewal for Megafon XS and other packages are as follows:
- The volume of traffic in the package is 200 MB;
- The cost of the package is 30 rubles;
- The maximum number of connections is 15;
- Connecting and disconnecting the service is free of charge;
- The offer is valid until funds are debited according to the tariff plan;
- The option operates in the territory established by the tariff rules.
Other ways to increase traffic
200 MB missing? Would you like to receive more at once? Or have you already spent all 15 additional auto-renewal packages? Then the “Extend Internet” (IP) option is just for you. There are 3 connection options:
- PI XS. Get 70 MB for only 19 rubles.
- PI 1 GB. Package for a bargain 175 rubles.
- PI 5 GB. Additional traffic package for 400 rubles.
When connecting any PI package, traffic auto-renewal is suspended until the connected option is used up. This option for extending speed and traffic will be much more profitable than connecting 15 times for 200 MB for 30 rubles.
There is another proven option for those who like to be online, watch and download. Take advantage of another more advanced tariff plan, which includes more minutes, SMS and Internet traffic. TPs from the “All Inclusive” family also allow you to connect auto-renewal or 1 or 5 GB packages.

“Scam” called a developing smartphone
Recently, a small conflict situation flared up around the Megafon company, the essence of which was that when purchasing a cellular smartphone in a company communication store, subscribers began to receive debts for sent SMS messages (although personal messages were never sent from this number). As a result, I was able to get rid of incoming notifications and understand the current situation only after connecting to auto-renewal from Megafon. This unpleasant incident was associated with a system malfunction, which was eliminated over time and similar complaints were no longer received.

Reviews
Alexei
A convenient service for automatically providing an additional package of megabytes, since I am constantly on the Internet for work and it happens that quite often the package has run out, and there are still a few hours until the end of the working day.
Inna
Every month Megafon sends me 1 gigabyte of Internet traffic, but as luck would have it, a few days before the end of the month it ends and then I activate the auto-detection service and use additional traffic.
Description in Beeline
If you exhaust the basic Internet package, your network access will not be suspended, but you will be transferred to a very low connection speed (up to 64 kbps). To prevent this from happening, connect “Auto speed renewal” from Beeline, then you can purchase an additional traffic package at any time. There is no need to do this manually, the purchase will be made automatically, the main thing is that there are enough funds in the account.
