Megafon XL Internet - description of the tariff and time of unlimited Internet at night

In the modern world, the progress of mobile communications is constantly moving, and along with it, customer requirements are increasing. Thus, subscribers of mobile operators are demanding more and more services provided. Today, the requirements for Internet access are very strong. Mobile operators try to please their subscribers and constantly release and offer new tariffs and options.

Modern people need to constantly be aware of all events, for this they use the Internet. Thanks to it, you can instantly find out about everything that is happening in the world. But to obtain such information you need access at high speed, as well as a sufficient traffic package. In addition, today many people use the Internet not only to obtain information, but also to earn money. It is for this category of the population that the MegaFon operator provides. Which can be used throughout Russia.

The review provides information for the Moscow region. Accordingly, before any actions with this service in other regions, you need to clarify information about payment and traffic volumes. To do this, you can contact the operator or look it up yourself on the company’s website. If it is more convenient, information can also be obtained in branded communication shops.

Tariffication

The option is implemented for consumers who lack mobile Internet. It is popular among owners of tariff plans with per-minute call rates and cost calculations by megabytes.

The service is provided for a subscription fee of 1,300 rubles per month. The amount is debited from the balance every billing period on the day the option is activated.

The indicated price includes a mobile Internet kit with a capacity of 30 gigabytes for a monthly period. If you have used up the allotted quota before the specified period ends, there is an automatic renewal of 250 megabytes for 60 rubles. Money is debited at the time of activation. In one day, you can perform 10 such procedures, after which the data transfer is blocked by the provider. To avoid this, install special functions “Extend Internet XS, 1 GB, 5 GB”.

Attention! According to the current conditions, traffic is consumed only during the daytime from 7 a.m. to 00.59 a.m., and at night there is unlimited use of any content. From 01.00 to 06.59, data transfer is not subject to tariffs (local time).

The size of the traffic package is suitable for watching movies online, communicating, correspondence and downloading large files. And also for owners of modem devices and routers.

If the consumer does not have time to spend the provided gigabytes, then the remaining traffic is automatically burned and is not transferred to the next term. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically check the status of packet data. To do this, dial *558#.

How to activate the “Internet XL” option on MegaFon?

If you need to activate an option on a tariff, then you need to study all the methods and choose the optimal one:

The easiest way is to use the ussd command. To do this, dial *236*5*1# on your device, and then press the call button. After processing the command, the service will be activated. The operator notifies you of this by text message.
There is activation via message. To do this, you need to send the number 1 to 05009125. After processing by the operator, the service will be active. The connection can be made throughout the day. Subscribers are notified of successful activation via SMS.
Those clients who prefer to manage everything through a computer will like the “Personal Account” service. It is located on the MegaFon website. To log in, you need to register and receive a password for access. After this, you can monitor and manage the number. Connect accordingly.
If you don’t have access to a computer, then the mobile version of your personal account will come to the rescue. You can download the application via a link on the MegaFon website or in the Google market.

In order to find out whether the option is available on the activated tariff and to activate it, you can dial the help desk at the short number 0500. Operators will kindly advise and activate the service package. It is worth noting that any subscriber can receive advice, but to activate the service you will need to say the code word specified when registering the SIM card or give your passport details. This connection method is bad because it takes so long. Because you can wait quite a long time for a response from a call center employee.

If a MegaFon brand store is located near your home or work, then when you go there you can ask for help from the store managers. They will connect the tariff option. But even here it is necessary to have documents confirming your identity.
