Eventually
A very interesting tariff for subscribers, taking into account the latest changes from October 3, 2021. Of course, for those who prefer conversations rather than surfing the Internet. The tariff fully corresponds to its name. You can talk about it very, very much. Even calls to landline numbers, which is rare for MegaFon, are included in the package. A score, definitely!
Taking into account the comparison of tariffs from the “Turn on!” line I can say that small packages on the “Turn on! Choose" is much worse in content, and the "Communicate" tariff, although with unlimited Internet, is 100 minutes less and does not include calls to landline numbers. Of course, it’s up to you to choose, but I advise you to think about what you just read.

Basic package and cost
What does the basic tariff package consist of and how much does it cost to use it? Like almost all tariff plans of any operator, this tariff has a cost and the content depends, as usual, on the region of the country in which the SIM card was purchased. According to established tradition, we will consider in the table the prices and volume of services offered in different regions of the Russian Federation.

| Cost per month | 500 rubles | 550 rubles | 420 rubles | 370 rubles | 500 rubles |
| minutes | 600 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 1200 |
| Traffic | 3 GB | 5 GB | 5 GB | 5 GB | 8 GB |
The difference in cost between regions is small, but the volume of traffic and minutes differ markedly. The package of short messages is not included in this tariff.
What calls are the minutes from the package intended for? Please note that you can only spend package time for outgoing calls on voice calls to any numbers in your home service region. The package of minutes works when located throughout Russia without charging an additional subscription fee. The only exception is when you travel around Crimea - you won’t be able to spend a package of minutes there.
But you can only use Internet traffic when you are in your service region. The package will not be consumed when traveling around the country, and Internet prices will become standard for Megafon when roaming in the Russian Federation.
