Pros and cons of the tariff
pros
- You can “give away” the Internet without additional payments;
- You can download torrents, albeit with a speed limit;
- Unlimited Internet in Russia;
- Communication within the MegaFon network is free and unlimited (if it were also outside the minutes quota);
- Decent amount of minutes;
Minuses
- All calls to landline numbers are paid.
- There was unlimited internet, but it was all gone. Sadly.
- On July 18, 2021, calls throughout Russia were removed from the package of minutes in the tariff and only calls in the home region were left + the volume of minutes was reduced from 600 to 500. Draw your conclusions.
- Although on-net calls are free and unlimited, they consume the package of minutes included in the tariff;
- The package does not include SMS messages. Absolutely not;
- There is no transfer of remaining services to the next month;
- Automatic activation of options for extending minutes and traffic; the subscriber is not given the right to choose whether he needs these volumes or not.
Shutdown
For users who wish to remain in the MegaFon network, to deactivate “Turn on! Communicate!” All you have to do is switch to another service package. You can do this in the following ways:
- contact the mobile operator office;
- change the communication service package through your personal account;
- contact consultants by calling the hotline.
When there is a need to disable the tariff for some time, you will need to block it. This can be done through your personal account on the official website of the operator.
Subscribers who no longer need the service must contact the company's office to terminate the contract and block the number.
Eventually
This is the tariff in the “Turn On!” line. seemed to me the most interesting to connect. Decent minutes quotas, home unlimited and inexpensive subscription fees. If it were not for paid city local calls, I would definitely recommend this tariff for connection. And so I advise you to estimate how many calls you make to landline numbers per month and only then make a choice.
UPD. Calls within Russia were removed from the package and only calls to mobile phones in the home region were left. For those who make a lot of calls to other regions of the country, the tariff has become irrelevant. MegaFon smoothly “killed” one of the most convenient tariffs in the line. Sadly.
UPD2. Unlimited Internet was also removed from the tariff. Everything became completely sad.
If we compare “Turn on! Communicate” with other tariffs with unlimited Internet, then everything is not so simple. See for yourself: comparison of tariffs with unlimited Internet from MTS, MegaFon, Beeline and Tele2 in one table.

No monthly fee.
Don't you talk on the phone that much? Or do you need a pensioner plan? Especially for you, we have prepared a review of three tariffs without a subscription fee.
The most profitable for calls “Go to zero”.
“Per-second”, as you will see from the tables, has only a name. In fact, you are charged per minute of call, so it is not very profitable. Are you only interested in pay-per-megabyte internet? Pay attention to the tariff "Megafon-Online"
Go to zero.
There is no subscription fee. In the table below you can see that calls at this tariff are very profitable. To Megafon Moscow numbers, 1 minute of call costs 1.2 rubles.
If you communicate no more than 3-5 minutes a day, in total you will pay from 108 to 180 rubles per month.
If your relatives or friends use another telecom operator, the tariff becomes less profitable. By communicating from 3 to 5 minutes a day you will spend from 135 to 225 rubles per month. If communication is more than five minutes a day, look at other operator tariffs with service packages.

Second-by-second
I categorically do not recommend this tariff plan for those who like to save money. See for yourself:
They offer you per-second billing, but you pay for minutes of conversation. There is no way to talk for 5 seconds and end the conversation.
This tariff will not suit your elderly parents, especially if they live in another region. A minute of call can cost up to 13 rubles.
Internet is also expensive. You can hope for cheap SMS. But they don't exist either. SMS to local numbers costs 1.95 rubles - that's not cheap. Have you decided to write to your grandchildren in another region? 3 rubles from you. Expensive tariff is not for everyone.
