Megafon Mobile tariff with federal number.

Key features of the offer

Any mobile operator is obliged to conduct active marketing work in order to maintain and strengthen its position. That is why, from time to time, quite interesting tariffs appear on the mobile communications market, such as “OLite” from Megafon. This is one of those offers from the company for which you do not have to pay a monthly fee in the form of a subscription fee.

The operator offers a unified payment system for outgoing calls on a regional basis. That is, if a Megafon subscriber, for example, is located and serviced in the Moscow region, then dialing the internal number of the network and numbers of other operators will have the same, fixed prices within the framework of OLite. The first minute of the call will cost 2.2 rubles, and all subsequent minutes will cost 1.7 rubles. A similar principle remains the same for calls to landline numbers in the region or long-distance calls:

• The first minute of outgoing calls to landline numbers will cost 7.5 rubles, and all subsequent minutes will cost 7 rubles;
• Long-distance calls are charged at the rate of 8.5/7 rubles.

All other outgoing calls from O'Light subscribers, both to mobile and landline numbers, will have a single per-minute tariff of 12.5 rubles/min. Roaming numbers will be charged depending on the location of the recipient within the range of 35-75 rubles.

conclusions

As you can see, the changes affected not only the introduction of a monthly fee, but also the improvement of user conditions (cashback “for everything” and up to 10% per annum on the balance appeared).

In addition, tariffs will be charged only to low-active users. To get free service and get all the privileges of the Megafon card, you just need to use the card periodically.

Thus, the introduced changes have made the card even more profitable for those who use it as their “main” - actively make purchases and keep large sums on their balance. And unprofitable for those who signed it up “just in case” to take advantage of the situation.

Here we examined only the distinctive indicators for paid tariffs. There are other bonuses available to all Megafon card holders, regardless of tariff. Read about this in our other articles.

SMS and MMS tariff schedule

The following rates are provided for text messages within O'Light:

• 2.5 rub. – SMS to mobile numbers within the network and other operators in the region;
• 3.55 rub. – messages to numbers of the unified Megafon network and other operators throughout Russia outside the home region;
• 5 rub. – messages to numbers of international operators while roaming.

Multimedia messages sent to any mobile number within Russia will be priced at 9 rubles, CIS – 15 rubles, and internationally – 25 rubles.

How to connect a tariff

Now let’s look at the procedure for connecting to the “Lite” tariff plan. This can be done by both existing clients of the Tele2 operator and potential ones. In both cases the algorithm is approximately the same. It is recommended that you adhere to the following steps.

1. Go to the official website of the Tele2 operator using the link: //tele2.ru/ .
2. On the main page, hover over the “Mobile Communications” section and select the “Tariffs” category.

3. In the list that opens, you need to find the offer you are looking for. By clicking on its name, you can view detailed conditions. There is also the opportunity to customize the tariff for yourself. This way you can choose additional services and adjust packages. The final subscription fee will be calculated based on this. If setup is not required, click on “Buy SIM”.

4. In the next step, an additional window will open. It all depends on whether you are a Tele2 client. If yes, then you need to click on the inscription “I am already a Tele2 subscriber.” The system will prompt you to log in and change your tariff plan to a new one. All that remains is to confirm the action. Otherwise, select the type of number you want to receive and click on the “Place an order” button.

5. Now you need to fill out the order page. Namely: Make sure that the correct tariff plan is selected and familiarize yourself with the phone number;
6. Enter your passport details. It is not necessary to do this, but otherwise you will have to provide the courier or the employee of the communication store with your passport so that he can activate the SIM card;
7. Select a receiving method. Several types of delivery are available, as well as pickup from any Tele2 sales office. Both options are free;
8. Provide your phone number and name to contact a consultant;
9. Enter a promotional code to get a discount;

It is worth considering that the cost of a SIM card for new clients in this case is 150 rubles. These funds will be immediately credited to your phone balance. They can be used to pay the subscription fee for the “Lite” tariff.

Additional operator services

As part of using the O'Light tariff plan from Megafon, each subscriber will be able to count on a number of additional options, the most interesting of which are:

• Kaleidoscope is a thematic channel in the form of periodic messages to the O'Light subscriber's phone. You can choose an entertainment thread (show business news, etc.) or an information thread (offers, company promotions). Connection occurs using the USSD command *808*99#, and channel selection is *808*1# or *808*11#. Disabling also occurs through the system codes: *808*0#, *808*1*0# and *808*11*0#;
• Automatic caller ID (Caller ID). Provided automatically and completely free of charge for O'Light users. Megafon numbers within the region are subject to identification, provided that they do not have an anti-identifier connected;
• MegaFonPRO portal. In fact, sharing is the operator’s usual system menu, linked to a SIM card with the O’Light tariff. Surfing the menu is absolutely free, but for individual requests (melodies, horoscope, recipes) you will have to pay from 3 to 150 rubles;
• Megafon Mail. Providing the OLite subscriber with a personal electronic mail address linked to the phone number in the literal sense (it is contained in the name). There is a light and full version of the mail service, which differ in capabilities and the availability of a subscription fee.

Detailed description of tariffs and conditions

Three tariffs are offered - “Light”, “Standard” and “Maximum”. The differences between them are shown in the table.

Let us explain the details for each point.

1. Subscription fee.

It is charged to the client immediately upon connection in proportion to the remaining number of days of the month.

Further payment according to the tariff is debited on the 1st day of each month. If the conditions for free service are met in the current month, then the fee for the next month will not be charged.

Example: when connecting to the “Standard” tariff on May 21, the subscription fee for May will be charged immediately in the amount of: 149:31x(31-21)=48.1 rubles.

June 1 - payment at the rate of 149 rubles.

If the turnover of funds on the card in June exceeds 10 thousand rubles, no fee will be charged on July 1.

The “Light” tariff provides up to 2 months of free use - the remainder of the current month at the time of connection and the entire next month. Thus, in order to make the most of this privilege, you need to apply for a card closer to the beginning of the month.

The period of free service for “Lite” is provided only to new customers who have issued a Megafon card for the first time and does not apply to those who switch from other tariffs or tariff-free services.

If by the time the subscription fee is charged for any tariff there is not enough money on the user’s balance, then the missing amount will go “in debt” and will be deducted upon the first replenishment of the account.

1. Cashback on purchases.

Provided for “Maximum” (1.5%) and “Standard” (1%) tariffs.

Accrued on all purchases, including those made on the Internet, with the exception of some “exceptions”. Exceptions include payment of insurance premiums, purchase of advertising, business services, lottery tickets, etc.

List of MCC exception codes:

Also, cashback is not provided for the following transactions:

• cash withdrawal;
• transfers to other cards;
• replenishment of electronic wallets;
• replenishment of personal accounts of mobile operators;
• any payment transactions up to 100 rubles.

Cashback is calculated for each purchase from the amount rounded down to a multiple of 100. So, when purchasing for 1260 rubles, the return percentage will be calculated from 1200 rubles. Cashback is not provided for transactions up to 100 rubles.

The conditions for calculating cashback are valid until July 1, 2021. After this date, Megafon Bank cancels cashback in accordance with the new rules. Refunds can only be received under the terms of affiliate programs.

1. Interest per annum on the balance.

Paid monthly - within 15 days of the month following the billing month.

The calculation is made for each day of the month, taking into account the account balance at 23.59 Moscow time. Then it is summed over all days of the month.

The maximum amount on which interest is calculated is 200 thousand rubles, the minimum is 500 rubles.

The interest on the balance is calculated from the amount in the account minus the “minimum” of 500 rubles.

Examples of remuneration calculations per day

under various conditions:

1. Account balance 95,000 rubles, “Standard” tariff, 365 days in a year:

(95000-500)x(8/(365x100)) = 20.71 rub.

1. Balance balance 350,000 rubles, “Maximum” tariff, 365 days in a year:

200000x(10/(365x100)) = 54.8 rub.

Monthly payment of interest on the balance - the amount of remuneration for all days of the month involved in the calculation according to the conditions.

1. Maximum cashback reward.

This is the cashback payment limit per month. No matter how much you spend on purchases, more than the specified amount will not be returned to you.

The limitation applies only to the cashback established by these tariffs (1 or 1.5%). Other types of cashback on the Megafon card (affiliate or various promotions) are awarded separately.

1. Condition for free service.

The amount that must be spent during the billing period (month) on purchases of goods and services so that the subscription fee is not deducted in the next month.

It also does not take into account the “exceptions” and payment transactions that we wrote about above (see the “Cashback on purchases” paragraph).
