Mobile operator Megafon never ceases to please subscribers with the most favorable and convenient tariffs. The company offers users quite favorable tariff plans and additional options, thanks to which people can significantly reduce the cost of using the Internet. But it is necessary to take into account that such services are not always extended to use in national roaming. Therefore, those customers who often travel around the country and need reliable access to the network can not change the tariff, but use the “Internet in Russia” option. Thanks to the capabilities of this service, subscribers can use the network both in their home region and outside it when traveling around the Russian Federation. And payment for the option will not be made at the prices of the tariff plan in roaming. In today's article we will look at Megafon Internet tariffs in Russia.
Megafon coverage in Russia
Megafon network coverage covers the entire country. However, in some parts of Russia it may still not work. Sometimes, during a long trip to remote settlements, people may encounter a lack of communication and Internet. If you look at the coverage map, you can see that there is no network in some areas of the Far East, the Far North, in the tundra and taiga, as well as in wooded areas and where there is not a large population. This is due to the fact that the operator installs base stations where it is profitable for him.
Megafon offers its customers access to the Internet in 3 and 4G format. The first applies to the entire country, and the second only to large cities. 4G Internet speed in big cities reaches 150 Mbit/s, and in the largest cities up to 300 Mbit/s. In some areas of Moscow it can be 1 Gbit/sec.
Internet in Russia reviews
On the global network, Megafon subscribers leave a lot of their opinions about the operator’s work in general, as well as individual services, options and tariff plans. Among the positive aspects about the “ Internet in Russia ” option, users express the convenience of the service, its fast connection, it can be used not only in your home region, but throughout the country. There are even separate preferential conditions for the Republic of Crimea.
Among the negative aspects, we can name reviews that the declared Internet speed does not always correspond to working conditions. Sometimes the connection may be lost and network access is disabled. But this happens most often in remote areas where base stations are located at great distances. There are no hidden fees or pitfalls in the option.

What internet tariff is profitable to connect to Megafon?
The Russian operator offers a large number of tariffs for phones. Which of them are the most profitable, we will consider further.
"All"
The “Everything” tariff is a comprehensive tariff plan that includes large packages of minutes and messages, Internet traffic, and various bonus services. This is an excellent balanced offer, because the client does not overpay and receives a wide range of services.
The main tariff parameters include:
- 600 minutes for calls within Russia;
- 300 SMS;
- up to 50 GB of Internet.
Important! After using the provided traffic, the operator automatically issues an additional 3072 MB. Its cost is 100 rubles.

"Warm welcome S, M"
The simplest version of the “Warm Welcome” tariff can be very economical, since it does not involve any subscription fee. It is great for those who sometimes call Megafon subscribers and communicate for 10-60 minutes a day. The main advantage of this tariff is the low cost of calls to other CIS countries. The cheapest call to China, because the cost of a minute of conversation is only 1 ruble. But calling South Ossetia costs 3 rubles per minute.
When making calls in your home region, a package of 10 minutes is activated from the first minute, the cost of which is 12 rubles. It turns out that the cost of an online conversation is 1.2 rubles per minute. You can activate 6 such packages per day. The remaining minutes will not carry over to the next day. You can check your balance by dialing *558#. Having started using the mobile Internet, the subscriber activates a package of 100 MB, which also costs 12 rubles. It is permissible to connect up to 10 packages per day.
And yet, we recommend the “Warm Welcome S” tariff; it is perfect for those who want to make profitable calls to other CIS countries and actively use communication services in the region for a fixed fee. The monthly subscription fee is 400 rubles in Moscow and the region.
The subscriber receives:
- 300 minutes to regional numbers;

- unlimited to Megafon of the connection region;
- unlimited internet for popular instant messengers.
The “Warm Welcome M” tariff offers clients for 600 rubles per month such options as:
- 500 minutes to numbers within your home region;
- 10 GB Internet;
- 300 messages;
- unlimited for using instant messengers and popular social networks. networks;
- unlimited calls on the network.
All these packages can only be used in the home region, so using the tariff is not profitable for those traveling around the country.
"Internet"
The Internet tariff plan offers subscribers up to 400 minutes of calls in the region where they are located and up to 20 GB of Internet. The benefits of the tariff include:
- affordable price;
- availability throughout the country;
- availability of additional bonus services;
- a large number of minutes for calls.
It is worth knowing that this tariff does not include SMS.
Cost of services provided
First, you should switch to the appropriate tariff plan, and then connect. The price for the initial connection will not cost subscribers a penny. But with subsequent activations of the option, the cost for connection will be 100 rubles.
If we talk about subscription fees, communication customers will need to pay different amounts. It all depends on the connected tariff plan:
- For people who use the package there is no subscription fee;
- Clients using All Inclusive L and XL packages – 5 rubles/day.
- Subscribers who have connected and are using the “M” tariff plans, in the “All Inclusive” line, as well as “Warm Welcome” - 7 rubles / day.
- Payment for use with the connected plan “S” on the “All Inclusive” line, as well as “Warm Welcome” - 9 rubles / day.
As you can see, the cost of Internet on different packages differs, but at the same time, at any tariff, access to the network becomes unlimited and at the same high speed. Whether there is a need to use such an option, each subscriber must answer independently. Perhaps some people primarily use the Internet. This decision will be very beneficial for them. To calculate whether the option is worth activating, you need to calculate the costs of communication and Internet. And use some mathematical calculations that will allow you to understand whether the investment will be a profitable investment.

Summary
The mobile operator MegaFon currently does not have current options for obtaining mobile Internet for one day, and the available “Internet XS” has a fee charged regardless of the use of data transfer by the subscriber.
Previously, there was a service “Internet 24”, within which 200 MB of Internet was provided for 24 rubles, but now it has been archived, since no one is interested in such small amounts of Internet, and it can only be used by those who activated it earlier.
Now MegaFon offers to connect one of the main options “Your Internet”. However, for comfortable communication by mobile phone, the most important thing is to choose the right tariff.
