• Get involved! Premium
• Get involved! Choose.

1. Social media . Thanks to unlimited access, the subscriber can communicate with friends on all popular social networks and upload photos and videos without reducing quality.
2. Music . Users can listen to any tracks and not worry about traffic.
3. Video . Videos can be viewed on YouTube. Subscribers can also watch their favorite TV series and films there.

The service operates on tablets and smartphones.

Important! A SIM card with this option cannot work in modems or routers. Otherwise, Internet access will be blocked.

Unlimited traffic is valid only in the connection region. When you are in national roaming, there is a separate gigabyte package.

Unlimited for tablet and computer

A convenient promotion is available for tablet devices - night unlimited. It is included in the Internet XL tariff, which offers a 30 GB package for daytime for 1,300 rubles per month. In addition, the subscriber has access to:

• unlimited on popular social networks and other online platforms (YouTube, Yandex.Music, cloud storage, etc.);

For modem and PC, unlimited daytime access is provided only to cloud storage.

This option is available for all devices - smartphones, tablets and PCs via modem.

Go to a special page and enter your phone number.

You can see if it is possible to connect to unlimited Internet on your tariff plan through your Megafon Personal Account. Information is contained in the “ Services ” section in the “ Available ” tab.

Tariff plans without subscription fee

What does a tariff without a monthly fee mean? This means you don't have to pay a fixed monthly amount upfront like the previous offers above. But these tariffs do not provide packages with messages, minutes and Internet traffic. Payment is made only for the services actually used, for example, you called a friend and talked with him for 2 minutes - the payment will be debited after the conversation for 2 minutes of conversation. This is especially convenient for subscribers who do not use the Internet on their phone, talk on the phone quickly and to the point, or communicate mainly within the network. Such Megafon tariffs are in great demand among pensioners in Moscow and the region, since the final cost for cellular communications will be minimal.

"Go to ZERO"

The following rates apply:

1. Subscription fee - 0 rubles;
2. Calls within the Megafon network in your region - 1.5 rubles per minute;
3. Calls to numbers of other operators in your region - 2 rubles per minute;
4. 1 megabyte of traffic - 2 rubles;
5. SMS within Moscow and the Moscow region - 2 rubles/piece;
6. SMS to other regions of the Russian Federation - 2.9 rubles/piece;
7. MMS messages - 9.9 rubles/pcs.

Prices for international calls are the same as in previous tariff plans with a monthly fee.

If you talk a lot within the network, then this tariff can become even more profitable when you connect. The cost of the service is 5 rubles per day, while you can communicate by phone with a Megafon subscriber for an unlimited time and all this for 5 rubles per day. However, if your loved ones, with whom you often talk via mobile communications, do not use Megafon, but another number, then connecting this option is not profitable.

If the owner of this tariff plan needs a little Internet, then you can activate the “Convenient Internet” option for 8 rubles per day. The option provides 70 MB of Internet.

"Second-by-second"

The peculiarity of this tariff is that it has a per-second billing, while other tariffs without a subscription fee have a per-minute billing, rounded up (after speaking for 1 minute and 40 seconds, you will pay for 2 minutes). Per-second billing eliminates rounding up and you pay exactly as much as you spoke with your interlocutor. Let's look at the prices for a tariff with no subscription fee:

1. Calls to home region subscribers - 3 rubles/min.;
2. Calls to Megafon subscribers in other regions of the Russian Federation - 5.1 rubles/min.;
3. Calls to subscribers of other operators in other regions of the Russian Federation - 13 rubles per minute;
4. SMS in your region - 1.95 rubles/piece;
5. SMS throughout the country - 4 rubles/piece;
6. MMS in Russia - 9.9 rubles/piece;
7. 1 megabyte - 10.1 rub.

Now let's look at how to connect unlimited Internet to Megafon and how to refuse the option.

First impressions so far. Speed ​​is normal, works great

MegaFon has long boasted about the speed of LTE Internet in Moscow, and it does so absolutely deservedly. For a couple of weeks, I didn’t see any numbers in Speedtest: 120 Mbit/s, and 150, and even almost 200 Mbit/s (!!) - the latter, however, was next to the operator’s office in the city center.

So far I have mainly used the MegaFon SIM card with an Android smartphone. Don't be surprised that the screenshots are not from iOS.

The average speed is approximately 100 Mbit/s. This is more than necessary: ​​I watched videos and streams in 1080p/60FPS on YouTube and Twitch without any problems, listened to music from the “cloud” in uncompressed quality (.flac), and downloaded “heavy” applications literally in seconds.

High LTE speed, good coverage and unlimited Internet are a great combo. For a measly 650 rubles. not worrying about traffic at all is a super theme. You can also pay in the App Store and iTunes directly from your operator account.

I personally have nothing to wish for yet. If MegaFon continues to please me so much, I will move my main number here, which I have been using for more than 10 years. But we still have to get acquainted with cashback.

Additional terms

In the review of the listed services, the main activation conditions were considered. In addition, the company has defined additional conditions that apply equally to all services:
