Tariff advantages

- No subscription fee. You can stay on it for as long as you like, and you won’t accumulate debts.
- High Internet speed. Megafon's communication quality remains high.
- The ability to connect any of the options you like without purchasing a package.

- Option to not activate anything. You just need to buy a starter package and use it. However, given the ease of switching to other tariffs, this advantage is becoming increasingly controversial.
- Free calls in your home zone within the network.
- The operator is working to improve the tariff. Megafon-Online is changing in a more favorable direction for the consumer, prices are being revised, everything is becoming clear and transparent.

How to connect the Internet at home, in the country, in the office
Megafon provides subscribers with the opportunity to access the global network from desktop PCs using a regular SIM card.
Connecting a computer or laptop is done in one of the following ways:
- via a 3G/4G USB modem from the MegaFon operator or a universal one;
- via a mobile Wi-Fi router.
Let's look at how to set up home Internet on a computer in both cases.
connect a USB modem yourself , you need:
- Connect the device with the SIM card to the computer via a USB port.
- Install modem software. The program starts automatically; you only need to accept the terms of the license agreement and confirm the actions by clicking the “Next” and “Install” buttons.
- In the window that opens, click “Connect”.
In most cases, no additional modem settings are required.
To provide access to the Internet simultaneously from several devices, it is more appropriate to connect a Wi-Fi router with a SIM card on board. The mobile router is not connected to the computer. Power, like any phone, comes from the battery. If necessary, you can charge it while working and even take it with you on the road - thanks to its compact size, the router can easily fit into your pocket.
There are two options for connecting devices to the router :
- via USB cable;
- via Wi-Fi network.
When connected using a cable to a desktop computer or laptop, the router will be automatically detected by Windows and the necessary software will be installed.
If necessary, confirm the execution of the program if the corresponding window appears on the screen. After the installation is complete, the device with the SIM card installed in it will automatically connect to the network.
To connect via Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
- Turn on the Megafon router with a pre-inserted SIM card.
- Search for networks on your PC or laptop.
- From the list, select the network name (SSID) of the router, enter the appropriate password and click the “Connect” button.
Internet tariff from the “No overpayments” line

Transition conditions
To switch to the tariff, the subscriber must have on his balance an amount corresponding to the cost of that for his region. For Moscow and the Moscow region it is equal to 510 rubles. In other regions, its size may decrease (for example, in the Rostov region - 410). If in the last 30 days the subscriber has already changed the tariff at least once, another 100 rubles are added to the specified amount.
Subscription fee amount
The monthly fee for residents of Moscow and Moscow Region is 500 rubles. In other areas, it may be slightly lower, while the package of minutes and gigabytes provided for it is reduced by a quarter.

- 20 GB of fast Internet;
- unlimited use of instant messengers and social networks.
Unused resources will remain stored in the piggy bank.

The Piggy Bank can store up to 50 GB and up to 600 minutes.
What is paid separately
There is a separate fee for SMS and MMS. For each SMS message within your region, 2.2 rubles are debited from the user’s account, to other numbers - 3.5, for a single MMS to any number - 9.9.
When 400 minutes are used up, calls to Megafon numbers within the country remain free, and calls to Russian numbers of other operators (both in your region and others) until the end of the month are charged at 3 rubles per minute. For calls to the CIS countries and Asia, 39 rubles per minute are charged, to Europe (as well as Israel and Turkey) - 59.
When you activate a tariff, a paid one is automatically connected (there is no charge for it during the first month). The user can always disable the service in the “Personal Account” or by contacting the operator’s office.
How to connect
A Megafon subscriber can activate the tariff in the personal account or using the USSD command *105*20# ; those who have previously used the services of other operators can purchase a SIM card at any Megafon office. The communication salon employees will help you set the tariff, connect or disable the desired additional services. In addition, there is the fastest way - activating an Internet tariff without overpayments through a phone number using the “Select” button.
Disabling a tariff plan
Because charging per MB, when today there are options where GB are immediately available, not everyone is happy with it for obvious reasons. And many want to abandon this tariff.
To disable, use the code *105*87#.
Yes, don't forget about the call key. In addition to a certain combination, you can simply send an empty SMS to the number 000105870.

What services are included in the tariff?
The Megafon-Online package is primarily a tariff designed to provide Internet access. And it is often sold in communication stores along with various devices. This could be a simple 3G modem, a 4G option, or a 4G+ router. Upon purchase, you will be given a short trial period (14 days) of one of the packages (“M”, “L” or “XL”). At the end of this period, the subscriber will automatically switch to Megafon-Online.
In general, the tariff allows you to:
- surf the Internet;
- send SMS and MMS both within the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad;
- make calls within Russia, as well as to other countries.
Moreover, Megafon is divided into the home zone and all others in relation to the Internet, as well as for calls and messages. Other countries are also divided into the CIS, Ukraine, Georgia, Asia, Europe and the rest of the world. The only exception is MMS, where the cost depends only on whether it is sent within Russia or abroad.
Detailed description
Initially, it should be noted that the tariff differs from the others in that it is provided for subscribers who do not use the Internet so often. And accordingly, they consume a small amount of traffic. Accordingly, on a SIM card with this tariff, you can use the Internet for modems, routers, tablets and generally on any available devices.
The tariff also does not include a subscription fee for use. Thus, payment for traffic is charged only if you have accessed the Internet. Payment is made for each megabyte used.
Initially, this tariff may seem very unattractive and inconvenient to customers, since today the company has already created many plans that include a whole package of services. This package also includes quite a lot of Internet traffic. But the developers specifically made a footnote that says that the tariff is considered basic. This is provided so that additional options can be connected to it for accessing the Internet within the network. These options will reduce the cost of used traffic. But connection is not mandatory, but only if there is a need for it.
All subscribers are invited to use options from the “Internet” family on the “Megafon-Online” tariff. Thus, from 3 to 30 GB of Internet traffic per month will be provided, and the payment for using such options ranges from 350 rubles to 1290 rubles/month.
Options for other devices
If you connect to the service not a tablet or smartphone, but another gadget, the provider offers the following options:
- "MegaFon Online with 4G+ router." The composition includes the XL described above, connected after 2 weeks.
- "MegaFon Online with modem." After the same time interval, the “M” version will be connected to access the World Wide Web. The loyalty program provides 16 GB for the connected user.
- "MegaFon Online with 4G+ modem." “L” version in 2 weeks and 36 bonus gigabytes.
