Communication services when traveling abroad

Many subscribers love to travel to different countries. At the same time, they should know how much communication services will cost them if they have a “Per-Second” tariff.

general information

“Per-Second” tariff is a service that offers per-second billing for calls. The offer is relevant for subscribers who communicate primarily through short calls. Please note the following tariff features:

The service operates exclusively within the home region.
Calls outside the home region are charged per minute.

The cost of the service is 3 rubles/min. Within the home region, the price for 1 second of conversation is 5 kopecks. There is no subscription fee. Additionally, other services are included in the offer. The initial payment in the Moscow region is 400 rubles.

Please be careful when choosing a tariff plan. It is very important to consider prices for your “home region”.

For example, residents of the Vladimir region spend 300 rubles on a down payment. To view current prices, go to the official Megafon website. On the main page in the upper right corner there is a window responsible for changing the region. By clicking on the “change region” button, an additional window will open where you can select the desired region.

Long distance calls

In addition to calls to numbers in the home region, the subscriber can make long-distance calls:

Megaphone – 5.1 rub/min.
Other numbers – 13 rubles/min.

Long-distance calls are calls made to other regions of the Russian Federation, with the exception of the territory from which the call is made. Such conditions are relevant if the subscriber is within the home region or when traveling around Russia.

International calls

CIS countries – 39 rubles/min.
Europe – 59 rub/min.
Other directions – 79 rubles/min.

If you actively use international destinations, it is recommended to use special packages of minutes that allow you to save on international calls. By connecting “minute packages” you will save significantly. For example, when connecting to the CIS and Europe package, the subscriber receives 549 rubles for 50 minutes. If you use standard tariff conditions, then for the same 50 minutes the subscriber will pay almost 3,000 rubles.

Internet

For 1 MB of data you will have to pay 10.1 rubles.

It’s easy to guess that such a pricing policy makes using the Internet within the tariff unprofitable. For example, when using 100 megabytes of traffic, the user costs about 1,000 rubles. For comparison, we connect the tariff “Turn on! Write » for 400 rubles per month provides 5 GB of traffic and unlimited Internet for instant messengers and social networks. We recommend taking this fact into account when choosing a tariff.

Messages

Home region – 1.95 rubles.
Other Russian numbers – 4 rubles.
MMS within Russia – 9.9 rubles.

Trips around Russia

Local numbers – 3 rubles/min.
SMS message to Russian numbers – 3 rubles.

As can be seen from the prices for text and MMS messages, using them on a regular basis is not profitable. For 100 SMS messages, the subscriber will pay 300 rubles.

SMS and MMS

Sending SMS within your region costs 1.95 rubles, to other regions - 4 rubles, to numbers of operators in other countries - 9.9 rubles. The conditions apply when the subscriber is in the region where he has entered into an agreement for the provision of communication services with the operator. When traveling around Russia, sending 1 message to any Russian number costs 3 rubles.

Cost of outgoing MMS:

Direction	Price per tariff unit, rub.
Within Russia (in the home region and beyond, to numbers of any operators)	9,9
To the CIS countries, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia, Ukraine	11
To numbers of operators in Europe, Asia, Africa, America	21

For those who send a lot of messages, using the “Per-second” tariff without connecting additional SMS packages is not profitable. Even with a minimum number of messages (100 prepaid messages are available in the S package for 110 rubles per month), the cost of 1 SMS will already be 1.1 rubles, which is 0.85 rubles. less than in standard tariff conditions.

How to connect or disconnect TP Per second

The transition to the “Per-Second” tariff is free, provided that the previous tariff change was made no earlier than a month from the date of submission of the repeated application. Otherwise, the cost of connecting to the service is 150 rubles. You can get detailed information about the connection in several ways:

Find the nearest Megafon store and purchase a SIM card.
Order the starter package online on the official website of the campaign.
Go to a mobile phone store and ask the employee to change the tariff plan. Identification documents such as a passport are required.
Call the hotline and connect the tariff remotely. Helpdesk phone number:
8 – for calls from numbers of other operators.
+7 – for subscribers located abroad .

An alternative option is to buy a starter package or have it delivered to your home. In turn, deactivation of the service can be carried out remotely.

Payment upon connection and transition

Transition cost is free ; The cost of reconnection is 150 rubles; The amount of the initial payment - check in the Megafon communication stores in your region.

A connection is considered repeated if less than one month has passed since the previous tariff change.

Megafon per second tariff - detailed description

Positioned as an ideal option for making outgoing calls without a mandatory monthly subscription fee.

Internet
