How to connect and use

Instructions on how to activate the Family service on Megafon:

• You need to log in to your personal account on the operator’s website or log into its mobile application.
• Open the “Family” section.
• Click on “Create a community”.

• Send invitations to relatives or other people with whom you want to share minutes, SMS and Internet traffic.
• Recipients receive notifications via SMS and a personal account on the operator’s website. Within 24 hours, a person must confirm his entry into the community.

After joining the “Family” (Megafon service), each participant can call, write and use the Internet as usual, but volume packages belonging to the organizer will be consumed.

Tariffs for the whole family - what MegaFon can offer

To make communication within the family the most profitable, one must adhere to the principle “no one overpays for services that they do not use.” Let's present several typical communication profiles and find tariffs that suit them.

First of all, you need to make sure that all numbers in the family are connected in the same region and belong to MegaFon. Because intraregional conversations “with our own” are the cheapest.

Pensioners

Grandparents usually don't talk for hours on the phone, but they often call their relatives back to keep up to date. Therefore, two options are relevant for them:

• Tariff "Per second". You pay 3 rubles per minute of conversation, but there is no per-minute billing - everything is strictly based on seconds (each costs 5 kopecks).
• Tariff “Go to ZERO”. If you don’t speak for 24 hours, you don’t pay anything. I called once and 6 rubles were charged, but until the next day, calls to MegaFon (local numbers) are unlimited. I went online and was charged 25 rubles for a 100 MB package. Unfortunately, unused traffic is not saved and is canceled with the arrival of a new day. “Go to ZERO” from MegaFon is a convenient tariff for pensioners who like to talk, and periodically chat via Skype, log into Odnoklassniki, etc.

For children

If we are talking about schoolchildren, then you can get by with the described “Second-by-second” or “Go to ZERO”. The absence of a large traffic package is even a plus - there are fewer factors distracting from your studies.

For high school students and students, social networks and instant messengers are an important place to communicate with friends and the world in general. Plus, the Internet is needed for studying and to stay up to date with the affairs of society, the country, and the world. Do not forget that music is of great importance for young people - they spend a lot of free time alone with it.

We sum up all the requirements - it turns out “Turn on! Listen":

• 15 gigabytes of traffic
• unlimited on music services and instant messengers
• 300 minutes for calls
• device protection with antivirus with Anti-Theft function

Excellent assembly for 550 rubles per month.

For parents

In this category we include people who have already graduated from university, started working and, perhaps, already have children. It is important for the middle generation to call a lot - not only on family issues, but also for work, write SMS - to find out how a child’s test went or remind a spouse to buy chicken on the way home. And the Internet is not superfluous: read the news or watch a TV series on the subway, listen to music on the way to work, keep in touch with friends and acquaintances in instant messengers.

So, what can I recommend:

• If you need to talk a lot and surf the Internet a little - “Turn on! Speak." 10 hours of calls and 5 gigabytes of traffic for 550 rubles per month.
• If you need to make frequent calls and send messages – “Turn on! Write." 300 SMS, 300 minutes and 5 gigabytes of traffic for 400 rubles per month.
• If you need to make a lot of calls and frequently visit the Internet - “Turn on! Communicate." 15 gigabytes and 600 minutes for 600 rubles per month.
• If you need to call and watch movies/series/YouTube:
• “Turn on! Watch": 20 gigabytes, 800 minutes and 4 free films on MegaFon TV for 800 rubles per month.
• “Turn on! Watch+": unlimited Internet, 1500 minutes, movies and the best TV series on the planet for 1000 rubles per month.

By the way, the Internet on the “Chat” and “Watch” modifications can be made unlimited and you won’t have to pay anything for it. The “Unlimited Internet” option can be found and activated for free in your Personal Account. And if that doesn’t work, ask for help at a MegaFon salon or by calling the support line.

Additional Information

The organizer of the “My Family” community on the Megafon tariff should always have an amount sufficient to cover the monthly fee. If the write-off does not occur due to lack of money, users lose access to packages of minutes, SMS and the Internet. In the absence of access to general packages, each subscriber receives communication services within the framework of his plan.

If any one package is disabled (if it has ended), users receive a notification about this. The service, which is not available for general use, is then provided to the subscriber as part of his plan. Other volumes continue to be consumed from the organizer’s volumes.

What does the operator promise?

There are several aspects that Megafon itself stipulates in advertising:

• the opportunity to save up to 50% on your balance on packaged mobile phone communication services;
• simplicity and ease of use of the package, because it means there is no need to select a package to suit the needs of each family member;
• the validity of the package in question during trips throughout the country, extended to each participant in this system;
• the ability to connect to the service absolutely any device equipped with a SIM card from the Megafon operator, since the company provides the opportunity to use a phone, tablet, router, modem, etc.).

In fact, every advantage comes with some kind of objection. The fact is that you need to choose a package again and do it constantly to avoid overpayments. And when packages for trips around Russia are exhausted, services will begin to be charged under unfavorable conditions for the subscriber. Nevertheless, this option is widely used among subscribers due to its many advantages compared to competitors' offers. Therefore, Megafon offers the opportunity to provide comfortable conditions for using mobile communications for all family members.

Peculiarities

1. At Megafon, the “Family” option on the tariff is valid throughout Russia, but under conditions corresponding to the organizer’s plan.
2. When traveling, all incoming calls are paid according to the plan to which the subscriber is connected and are not consumed from the total volumes.
3. Only a subscriber of the same network can be added to the community.

You can remove a member or leave a community in your personal account on the website, in the section of the same name.

Here are some other bonuses awaiting community members:

Disconnect from Megafon

To remove a member from a community group or close it completely, you must use your personal account. There is no additional fee for removing members or completely liquidating a group.

If you have problems deactivating the option, you should contact the nearest company office or call the single number 0505.

Family tariffs from Megafon allow you to use communication services with the greatest benefit, saving significantly on payments and not limiting yourself and your loved ones in using service packages. Each member of the created group spends a limit within the total traffic.

For some, this approach to regulating communication costs may seem beneficial. For other subscribers, the option is not very convenient, since the traffic is consumed by all users. For example, one of the connected participants may use up Internet traffic at one time, and therefore other users will no longer be able to use it. To get a truly profitable connection, you should use the service wisely.

Other packages

Additionally, Megafon tariffs are available in 2021, aimed at various groups of subscribers. They are suitable for tourists, calls to other countries, smart technology, etc. Let's explore the available options.

Mobile operator MegaFon has launched the best tariff plan in 2021

Each telecom operator strives to ensure that its branded services, which it provides to everyone, are used by as wide a circle of people as possible, and for this, telecommunications companies are often ready to do literally anything. One of the Big Three participants, MegaFon, was no exception to the rule. So, he launched the best tariff plan in 2021, which offers very, very favorable service conditions in all respects, which simply have no analogues on Russian territory among federal cellular operators. The new tariff requires you to pay a subscription fee on an ongoing monthly basis, and it is far from the smallest amount, but in return you can get unlimited opportunities.

As part of the launched tariff plan, a client of a mobile operator receives 0 minutes of calls and 0 SMS messages every month, and no, this is not a joke at all. Even though the subscriber constantly pays money, he must pay separately for all voice calls and for all text messages. Thus, one minute in Russia costs 5 rubles, and one message throughout the country costs 2.8 rubles, so it is better not to use these types of communications when using the new tariff. The entire value of the proposed terms of service is in the unlimited mobile Internet, which is provided at the highest possible speed, and this can reach a huge value of as much as 1 Gbit/s.

It would seem that all telecommunications companies in the country provide unlimited service, and this is actually true, but there is one important nuance. The fact is that unlimited Internet traffic from the mobile operator MegaFon is actually that, and not reduced. Thus, it is allowed to be fully used not only in smartphones and tablets, as is always the case, but also in any other electronic devices, doing this without unnecessary difficulties and restrictions. Moreover, you can completely legally and without additional charges distribute access to the global network to other electronic devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB, and you can also download torrents. Simply put, everything is just like with home wired Internet.
