Most subscribers use a smartphone not only for conversations, but also to access the global Internet. Therefore, many people want to use inexpensive and “real” unlimited traffic without restrictions. But there are quite a few such offers from operators, and even at a high cost.
Since the end of August last year, Megafon’s entire “Turn On” series began to operate without restrictions. In this article we will look at how to activate Megafon unlimited Internet.
Parameters of the “Unlimited communication” option
First of all, “Unlimited Communication” is not a tariff plan, but a separate option that is connected to certain tariffs. It is not compatible with all-inclusive tariffs, that is, the popular “Turn On!” line. and its varieties “Watch”, “Chat”, “Have fun”, etc.
Today, among the simple tariffs that are compatible with it are “Go to ZERO”, “Per-second”, “Warm Welcome”, as well as archived ones, which are currently not available for connection, but still work for subscribers. This option is also incompatible with similar services that reduce the cost of communication: “Own Network”, “Hour on Megafon”, etc.
By connecting to the option, the subscriber gets the opportunity to talk to other MegaFon subscribers for free throughout the day, plus 100 minutes of calls to Megafon subscribers in other regions. Once 100 minutes per day have been exhausted, regular tariff rates will apply.
The option is valid only in your home region; you won’t be able to communicate unlimitedly when traveling around Russia.
Disabling the Internet on the device
In addition to all these methods, each subscriber can pause mobile Internet on the mobile device itself.
To do this, you need to go to your phone settings and select the data transfer tab. The device will show that the Internet connection is connected using a mobile connection. Nearby there is a disable button, which you need to press. The Internet will be turned off. But payment for it will continue to be charged by the operator. This method is acceptable if you are not going to use Internet services through an operator for some time.
Unlimited communication - the price of the issue
The cost of the service consists of two figures:
- Connection - 35 rub. (one-time fee);
- Subscription fee - 11 rubles. per day.
If there are not enough funds in the account to debit 11 rubles, the option will not be activated, and from that day on, unlimited communication will become unavailable until the balance is replenished.
You can connect and disconnect the option as often as you wish - the price of each reconnection is 35 rubles.
Many people are looking online for how to connect to unlimited communication for 5 rubles a day or even 3 rubles a day. Perhaps, previously the operator had just such prices, but at the beginning of 2021 the current price is 11 rubles. per day for unlimited communication.
Links to conditions and costs in regions
The cost of the service depends on the region, for example, in Moscow the connection cost is 30 rubles, and the subscription fee is 10 rubles per day. In Tatarstan, the cost of connection is 20 rubles, and the subscription fee is 7.5 rubles per day. There are usually no connection or disconnection fees.
