The current special offer for regular Megafon customers is the “More Conversations” tariff with a monthly subscription fee of 150 rubles. The service is in demand among users who make calls within the network and often communicate via instant messengers. The benefit of the offer is a fixed price that does not change throughout the entire period of using the service. Therefore, the option is available only to selected Megafon clients. To switch to a special tariff, the user must receive a gift link from the provider.
Description of the “More Conversations” tariff from Megafon
The tariff will be convenient for subscribers who need to be constantly in touch.
The mobile plan was officially published on the operator’s website in 2018. However, the conditions for activating the tariff were hidden from customers. The “More” line was launched as a marketing campaign to retain subscribers. A personal invitation will be required to access its individual plans. This is the peculiarity of Megafon’s non-public corporate services.
Today, “More Conversations” remains a valid but hidden tariff. Subscribers interested in the offer already know that connecting the option via USSD commands or voice assistant is not available. To switch to preferential terms of service, SIM card owners have to look for special invitation links. You can find them on thematic forums or, even easier, in the user’s “Personal Account”.
The tariff expansion will be of interest to regular Megafon subscribers living in large cities with access to alternative communications. There is no limit on calls within the network. Free minutes can be used both in your home region and abroad. Communication with subscribers of other operators is provided for an additional fee.
The tariff also includes a small Internet traffic package. Gigabytes spent on communication in instant messengers are not debited from it. Therefore, if you are used to watching movies and listening to music on Viber or Facebook, a mobile plan will be a profitable alternative for communication.

Connecting a tariff plan
Hidden non-public is not available for direct connection by mass users; it is provided to clients as part of special offers (via SMS, mailing). However, it is still possible to change the tariff yourself. The first way is to participate in the Megafon lottery.
Instructions:
- Log in to your “Personal Account”.
- Select a block with personal offers.
- Start the bonus game by following the interface prompts.
- Pick up your gift by following the link.
- If you get another prize, try again 2 more times (daily limit).
Another method of connecting a tariff is associated with forced retention of subscribers by the provider. In order not to lose loyal customers and retain part of the profit, the company is ready to reduce the cost of communication.
All functions of your personal account are also available in the application; you can download it using a QR code.
Switching to a tariff plan is offered if you intend to link your SIM card to another operator. A special offer can be sent when communication is used infrequently, for example, when the number is turned on several times a month to communicate with loved ones. If you change provider, the message arrives within 2 days. In other cases, waiting times depend on the client’s status and the amount of his costs for communication services.
To take advantage of the special offer, customers contact the support service with a request to select a cheap tariff or with a request to leave to competitors. In these cases, the company sends the subscriber a personal invitation with a direct link to the user offer. After switching to a tariff plan, the client uses mobile communications on preferential terms.
How to disable
To disable, select another tariff and switch to it. To do this, use your personal account, application, or operator assistance - by calling the support service or in the office.
After connecting a new tariff, the old one will automatically cease to be valid. Switching to another tariff is mandatory; simply disabling the old tariff plan will not work.
The opportunity to use this exclusive tariff is given once. After deactivation, switching to the tariff again will not be possible.

The service may be of interest to a wide range of users due to the low monthly fee.
When choosing a tariff, it is recommended to focus on personal needs.
Potential clients:
- Megafon subscribers communicating within the network.
- People who primarily use home Internet.
- Posted workers.
- Tourists.
- Subscribers who need an inexpensive tariff for a second SIM card.

Subscriber reviews
Judging by the reviews, “More Discoveries” coped with its task - regular customers remained with the company and continue to use Megafon’s services. Users like that the tariff is inexpensive and that they can exchange messages on WhatsApp, Viber and other networks for free without spending the main Internet package. But there are also dissatisfied subscribers. What they don't like:
- transferred to the tariff without consent. But in this case, you can leave the existing tariff by dialing the command *105*1427# “Call”;
- there is little Internet and no unlimited social networks (not to be confused with instant messengers).
And of course, as the main drawback, commentators note that switching to the “More Discoveries” tariff is difficult and information about it is difficult to find in the public domain.
Advantages and disadvantages
The tariff has both positive and negative sides. The provided service package is not suitable for every subscriber.
Advantages:
- Unlimited communication within the network.
- Free nationwide roaming.
- 24/7 access to instant messengers even after 3 GB is exhausted.
- Calls to landline numbers are charged at local rates.
- The client pays only for the minutes of calls used.
The main disadvantage of the mobile plan is the small Internet package. When using powerful smartphones, this volume is enough for 10-15 days. A significant inconvenience of this option is the complexity of its connection. As a result, users come to the conclusion that for the same price it is easier to afford a tariff without a subscription fee.
Advantages and disadvantages
Benefits of the program:
- Low cost of maintenance.
- Free messengers.
- Unlimited calls within the network.
- Simple and clear terms.
Flaws:
- There is no included package of minutes for numbers of other operators.
