Megafon offers a fairly wide range of tariffs; which one to choose is not always clear and depends on various conditions. Today, users have access to the “All Inclusive” and “Turn On” lines; the “Go to Zero” and “Warm Welcome” offers may be interesting. In addition, there are products designed specifically for Internet access or calls within the country or abroad. Let's figure out what is the most favorable tariff on Megafon for each specific subscriber and in accordance with the purposes of using the SIM card.
How to find out your tariff plan
The current tariff plan is not always profitable, especially for existing subscribers who issued a SIM card quite a long time ago. There are several ways to find out the tariff product that is relevant to the user.
- USSD command *105*3# , as a result of the request, the user will receive a notification with the necessary information.
- Service number 0505 . By following the autoinformer's prompts, all the necessary data will be obtained.
- In your personal account, in the appropriate section. This contains detailed information regarding the current terms of service.
- Call the support service at 0500 or 8(800)5500500 . Information can be obtained either from a live consultant or by following the autoinformant’s guide.
Among the options presented, the most informative would be to contact your personal account on the cellular operator’s website. To enter the service, simply indicate the subscriber number and password; the system will send the latter upon request *105*00#.
“Second-by-second”
This tariff plan is designed for subscribers who only make calls from their SIM card and want to understand exactly what they are paying for. As the name implies, calls on the tariff are charged per second. This allows you to save money, because if the call was very short, you do not need to pay for the entire minute.
Calls can be directed to Megafon subscribers or any other mobile operators. The terms apply only to calls in your home region. Calls to other regions of the country are paid per minute. The cost of communication services is as follows:
- Calls to any numbers in your home region - 3 rubles. per minute or 5 kopecks. per second;
- Conversations with Megafon subscribers outside the connection region - 5.1 rubles. in a minute;
- Calls to any mobile and landline phones throughout the country - 13 rubles. in a minute;
- Internet connection at the maximum speed available in the region - 10.1 rubles. for 1 MB of traffic;
- SMS messages to any phones in your home region - 1.95 rubles. a piece;
- SMS messages to all subscribers in the country - 4 rubles. a piece;
- MMS messages to Russian SIM cards - 9.9 rubles. a piece.
Some conditions only apply when you are in your home region. For example, when traveling around the country, SMS to any Russian numbers will cost 3 rubles. a piece. Per-second billing for travel is also not available. Calls to numbers in the current region still cost 3 rubles. per minute, but payment is debited per minute. In the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, the tariff, like other operator offers, is not valid. There, special prices apply to communication services.
The most favorable and cheapest rates
How to choose a Megafon tariff with such a variety of offers in order to use communications cheaper is a difficult question. Everything primarily depends on the preferences of the user himself. The operator has developed package offers to suit every taste; all you have to do is decide on your priorities and make a choice.
Which Megafon tariff plan is the most profitable is easiest to understand by visiting the company’s resource https://megafon.ru/ and using the selection service https://megafon.ru/tariffs/vklyuchaysya/.
"Base"
The “Basic” tariff plan is a recent development by Megafon and one of the most favorable tariffs without a subscription fee. When using it, the subscriber expects the following prices:
- Conversations with Megafon subscribers in the connection region - 1.15 rubles. in a minute;
- Calls to local SIM cards of other operators - 1.5 rubles. in a minute;
- Calls to Megafon subscribers in Russia - 5.1 rubles. in a minute;
- Conversations with subscribers of any operators in Russia, as well as calls to landline numbers - 13 rubles. in a minute;
- SMS messages to any local numbers - 3 rubles. a piece;
- SMS to all SIM cards in any regions - 3.9 rubles. a piece;
- MMS messages to all subscribers in the country - 9.9 rubles. a piece.
Internet costs here are unusual. There is no per-megabyte payment - instead, 100 MB is added to the subscriber’s number for 25 rubles.
The package is credited automatically when you go online and is valid for the next 24 hours. If you do not spend the package before this period expires, it will burn. In total, you can add no more than 10 packages to your number per day. If the limit is reached, Internet access is suspended until the end of the current day.
It is impossible to disable this option: it is built into the default tariff plan. There is no way to block access to the Internet either. As with other Megafon tariffs, the offer is valid for trips to all regions of Russia, with the exception of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The proposed conditions are excellent for their main purposes and do not require additional options.
Eventually
If we compare the “No overpayments - Internet” tariff with analogues from the “Turn on!” series, then, of course, the new tariff will be more interesting. And you have instant messengers that work regardless of your account status, and protection from subscriptions (although, to be honest, operators should not position these services as their advantages, but simply need this “filthy broom”...).
If we compare, for example, with the “X” tariff from MTS, then I would not choose MegaFon. MTS's offer will be more interesting.
If we compare it with other tariffs in the “No Overpayments” series (comparison table), then for those who only need social networks and instant messengers in large quantities, plus an average volume of Internet and calls, I would recommend this tariff.
How to switch to Megafon from another operator while maintaining the number
To use the communication services of your current operator, but at the same time keep your old ID, you can use the mobile number portability function.
- Go to the page https://kras.megafon.ru/mnp/.
- Fill out the application form, you will need to indicate the old phone number, full name of the subscriber, as well as the phone number and email address for communication.
- Wait for a call from a company representative, who will determine the appropriate tariff and tell you which office you need to come to.
- Write an application to port the number at the company’s office and determine the period after which the number will be transferred.
As soon as the transfer is completed, the user will receive an SMS notification about it. For a number of large cities, SIM card delivery by courier is available; check the possibility for each locality on the company’s website.
