Option for modems and routers – “Internet L” MegaFon

Now that there are so many communication devices, operators must provide not only profitable tariff plans for communication, but also for the Internet. After all, modern people can no longer do without access to the network. This is precisely why MegaFon Corporation has created a family of Internet options. One of which is “Internet L”. This is exactly what will be discussed below.

Before starting the review, it should be noted that this service is available to almost all MegaFon customers. It can also be used to use your phone as an access point. A SIM card with this option enabled can easily be used in routers or modems. There are no speed limits, so such devices will work perfectly with the package.

The considered option “Internet L” and payment for its use is provided for the Moscow region. Other people outside this region are advised to check the information on the company’s website or by calling their telecom operator before activating and using it.

Detailed description of the option

The Internet package from MegaFon includes Internet traffic for accessing the network. This option is quite extensive and will be an excellent solution if you use not only Internet resources from a mobile device, but also distribute the Internet through other devices (modems, routers). “Internet L” includes 36 GB of traffic. To receive such a volume, you must pay a subscription fee, which is charged at the beginning of a new month. It should also be noted that not all traffic is consumed. It is divided into two equal parts. Accordingly, 16 GB is provided for night use, and 16 GB for day use. The time of night for MegaFon was set as follows:

• Daytime from 7 am to 1 am;
• Night time – from 1 am to 7 am.

With such a time period, it is recommended to download movies, applications and much more at night. And spend the day's traffic for other purposes. The Internet is provided at maximum speed and can also work in 3G and 4G networks.

If we talk about the consumption of the entire volume, then the speed threshold will be set at 64 Kbps. Thus, it will not be possible to use the Internet.

Subscribers who activate this package will be able to use video content for 4 films. MegaFon also allows the use of television content.

The option applies to the entire country, which means that you can use the service even outside your home network. In addition, it is possible to connect the service to any tariff. Tariff restrictions are indicated on the company’s website in the option description. “Internet L” will always be active, unless the client disables it independently. However, when switching to another tariff plan, the option may be deactivated automatically if the service is not supported by the tariff plan.

Another option from the MegaFon Internet S line.

Tariffication

The service is designed for users who spend most of their time online, as well as for owners of standard tariff plans with per-minute call rates and Internet calculations per megabyte. Unlimited Internet will allow you to watch movies in high definition, communicate, correspond and download heavy files without restrictions.

The offer is provided for a fixed subscription fee of 650 rubles. It is automatically debited every billing period on the day of activation. If by this time the user’s balance does not have enough funds or there is a debt, the operator stops servicing until the account is replenished by the specified amount. If you make a payment on time, the volume of the traffic package is updated by default.

The subscription fee includes a mobile Internet kit of 20 gigabytes in size, which is spent on any content. If the established quota ends before the appointed time, then it is automatically renewed by 250 megabytes, costing 45 rubles. The fee is charged instantly upon connection. It is allowed to perform 10 such operations in one day, after which data transfer is blocked until the next billing period.

Attention! If the subscriber does not have time to use up the provided quota, the remaining balance will automatically expire. To check the status of the traffic package, use the USSD short command service and enter the code *558#. After dialing, a description of the tariff and the remaining packages for the current time will appear on the screen of your mobile device.

Option cost

Connection to the “Internet L” option is provided free of charge. But it is worth noting that when activated, the balance must correspond to the amount of the monthly fee, which is equal to 890 rubles. This price for the service package does not change throughout the entire period of use. In case of deactivation of the package, funds will not be withdrawn from the phone account, but the entire amount of remaining traffic will be canceled. In this regard, it is better to fully use the volume, and only then disable the option.

To save money, MegaFon offers to connect the service for a long period. Depending on the connection period, a discount will be provided for the use of:

• Activation for 3 months – 10% discount on the subscription fee;
• Activation for 6 months – 20% discount on the subscription fee;
• Activation for 12 months – 30% discount on the subscription fee;

MegaFon does not impose restrictions on the use of a SIM card with an activated service. This means that the SIM card can be used completely free of charge in different devices (modems, routers).

If Internet traffic runs out

If clients have used the entire amount of traffic provided, the company will suspend access to the network. Access is stopped by speed limits. To resume access to the network, you will need to wait for the new megabytes to be accrued after the subscription fee is charged. In order to speed up the renewal process, it is recommended to use the functions from the “Extend speed” line. The subscriber is given the choice of either 1 GB of monthly traffic usage or 5 GB of traffic. Both options restore speed. If the additional volume is not fully used and traffic is charged according to the main option, then the megabytes will be frozen. After using the main volume, additional megabytes will be active again, but only if 30 days have not passed from the moment of activation.
