Unlimited line “Internet XS, S, M, L and XL”
For quite some time now, Megafon has presented its fans with a list of options called “Internet XS, S, M, L and XL”, where each letter means a certain set of capabilities. The service is available to owners of all operator tariff plans and applies as long as the subscriber is in the Russian Federation; the exception is "Internet XS". Such a service is very convenient for people traveling around the regions of our country, because the user does not have to worry about not having activated additional roaming options.

- If necessary, activate it by sending an SMS with the text “1” to the service number 05009121 . You can also use the USSD command *236*1*1# , followed by the call key. A corresponding notification will be sent to the subscriber's phone. After a short period of time, the owner of the smartphone will have access to 70 megabytes of the Internet per day.
