The tariff service package includes 200 minutes for telephone calls within Russia and 5 Gigabytes of mobile Internet traffic.

Who is it suitable for?

The “Minimum” tariff is suitable for people who want to use their mobile phone or tablet to the fullest and use all the functions without spending large amounts of money on services. This service is suitable for many categories of people, including students, schoolchildren and middle-aged and elderly people who do not have a lot of money at their disposal to pay for mobile communications.

Despite the low cost of the tariff, it will allow you to chat in instant messengers, listen to music and watch movies without worrying about traffic, because it also includes other additional services.

Other similar tariffs in Megafon

In the line of “No Overpayments” packages, the most similar tariff is called “Internet”.
The cost of this package of services for 2021 is 350 rubles per month. For this money you get: 10 GB of mobile Internet and 300 minutes for calls within Russia. Just like in other tariffs in the category, a number of instant messengers do not use traffic, and they are unlimited. In the same category there is a “Calls” tariff, which for 420 rubles per month will give the subscriber the opportunity to talk for 200 minutes more than in the “Minimum” tariff; in particular, for mobile Internet in the two tariffs everything is absolutely identical.

Results

Probably, old Megafon subscribers will write that their tariffs are more profitable and there is no point in switching to new ones - this is true, until recently it was possible to connect for the same price under better conditions. However, against the background of current offers from competitors, which have rapidly risen in price in 2021, the updated line of green ones looks at least decent

The only controversial tariffs so far can only be considered “No overpayments Maximum” - 1000 rubles for unlimited Internet - this is quite expensive even with the possibility of unlimited distribution. The tariff with purchased unlimited costs 750 rubles, but this is only in the minimum version with a package for 500 minutes of calls. If you take the same 1500 minutes and buy additional unlimited, you will get 1300 - 300 rubles more expensive.

If you fundamentally need unlimited, it is wiser to get one of Megafon’s non-public tariffs, which are incomparably more profitable. But less demanding subscribers should take a closer look at the other tariffs, especially “No overpayments All”. It beats its direct competitor - the basic version of MTS Tariffishta - in all respects, giving more minutes and gigabytes for a lower cost, as well as serious bonuses for the Internet in addition.
