Traffic is provided for 30 days. After the specified period has expired, the package is renewed and the unspent balance is burned. If the gigabytes run out before the end of the billing period, you can resume access to the network using the “Extend Internet” function, which is available in volumes of 70 MB, 1 and 5 GB.
The coverage area of the service has not changed; it is also valid throughout Russia. The list of regions in which the option is not provided remains the same.
Important! When changing the current tariff plan to a new one, the service remains active only if it interacts with the new tariff.
Why does not it work?
Sometimes subscribers are faced with a rather unpleasant situation in which the speed of access to the network drops sharply, and the pages they open almost never load. In such cases, you should immediately check the balance of the package. Sometimes the tariff does not work due to the user using up the entire provided limit. To find out if this is the case, dial *558# and press the call button. After a few moments you will receive a response message with the necessary information.
If the traffic remains, but the speed has dropped, you should call the support service (8805500500), the operator will sort out the problem and restore the speed.
When you use up the entire limit, you can activate the “extend speed” option. It allows you to get 1 or 5 GB of high-quality Internet. The main thing is that the owner of the SIM card has a sufficient amount on his balance.
How to find out the remaining Internet traffic on Megafon
Information about the traffic remaining until the end of the billing month is on the main page of your Personal Account. If you do not have access to mobile data transfer, you can check the balance using the short ussd command *558#.
For the convenience of subscribers who use the mobile version of their Personal Account, the company has developed a special widget. You can activate it in your smartphone settings after downloading and installing the application.
The Megafon Personal Account application must be saved in the device’s memory and not on the SD card.
The “Internet S” option was created for those who spend little time online. The traffic provided as part of the service is not enough to watch or download videos and films. For similar purposes, take advantage of larger offerings from the same line.
User reviews
There are many user reviews of this service on the World Wide Web, by reading which you can find out how it works, its advantages and disadvantages.
Igor : My acquaintance with this option began after purchasing a tablet computer at a promotion from the Megafon operator. The terms of this promotion provided activation of the Internet S for three months for a small amount. In addition, the operator offers other features and options. The first days the service worked fine, the high traffic speed was pleasing, as was the quality. However, the package quickly ran out and a message was displayed that the Internet was used up. It was suggested to connect an auxiliary package. I had to make this extension.
Irina : I purchased a SIM card with the Internet S for the modem. For a whole week the speed was high, work was not interrupted. This rarely happens for Moscow. However, it soon turned out that the traffic was over, although I could not use it up. I started to discuss this issue with the operator. He said that you had used up the entire package and offered to connect the package additionally. So I didn’t find the truth in Megafon, where the traffic goes. Friends claim that they had a similar situation.
Nikolay : I’ve been using the Megafon network for a long time, I have no big complaints about it, the work is stable. But not everything is smooth with the Internet S . I needed a small traffic package. I connected it for 350 rubles, and was pleased. After 4 days there were some problems, the speed dropped to a minimum, even the mail did not open. But there was still a lot of traffic. The main disadvantage is the complete disabling of network access if the package is used up. Previously, when the packet ran out, it was possible to work at the minimum speed. Now access is blocked until money is deposited.
Dinara : Internet S at the dacha via a modem for work and entertainment. A large volume is not needed. After a month of use, I did not pay for the next package. When I decided to pay a month later, they immediately withdrew 350 rubles. It was her own fault for not paying on time.
