Megafon tariffs without Internet and subscription fee 2021: which one should a pensioner choose?

Residents of the capital who use Megafon services can activate new options. More recently, the telecommunications company has developed a tariff line that opens up additional opportunities. This option was created for mobile devices with a subscription fee, phones without a subscription fee, modems, routers. This article will help Megafon subscribers understand how to choose the right specific tariff plan for their mobile phone. If you choose the appropriate option, you can save monthly on paid services.

What tariffs does Megafon have for a phone without internet?

In 2021, Megafon has only 2 tariffs without a monthly fee and prepaid gigabytes of traffic. These are “Go to Zero” and “Second-by-Second”. So if you need a plan for a simple push-button dialer, you will have to choose from these two options. All other packages already include traffic.

However, there is no choice as such. This becomes clear upon a detailed study of the parameters of each of the tariffs without the Internet - the tariff offers too unfavorable conditions with per-second billing for calls.

What is important to know about Megafon tariff plans without the Internet

Tariffs without Internet are so called because they do not provide traffic packages. However, access to the Internet remains. This means that if you use a SIM card with such a TP on a smartphone and accidentally access the Internet through the mobile network, the operator will charge you for the megabytes spent.

The cost of Internet traffic on such tariffs is prohibitively high: on “Go to 0” - 25 rubles for every 100 MB, on “Per Second” 1 megabyte of the Internet costs 10.1 rubles.

To avoid charges for accidentally accessing the Internet, we recommend completely canceling the mobile Internet service in your Personal Account or through the Megafon hotline operator.

The “Go to Zero” tariff has one more feature: the starting set of services includes an option with a subscription fee called “Go to Zero+”.
It adds packages of Internet traffic and minutes to the tariff, and actually turns it into a regular TP for smartphones. You can disable the service through the online self-service service.

Tariffs for smart devices

Separately, MegaFon offers tariff plans for ecosystem devices. These include smart watches and other gadgets that require an Internet connection and also have a slot for installing SIM cards.

"Smart Things"

Tariff plan for smart devices, including:

• 10 minutes per week for calls within Russia;
• unlimited Internet;
• 20 SMS per week.

The amount of the subscription fee depends on the period for which the client connects Smart Things:

• week – 25 rub/week;
• year – 750 rub/year;
• indefinitely - 2500 rubles.

The tariff plan is valid throughout the country, but special conditions are provided for Crimea and Sevastopol. Within the framework of “Smart Things”, only calls abroad are paid separately (in accordance with the prices of other TPs), as well as MMS messages (9.9 rubles/pcs). After the current service package is exhausted, the cost of calls will be 5 rubles per minute, and SMS – 3 rubles per call.

"Smart watch"

An offer specially designed for smart watch owners. The monthly package includes the following services:

• 1 GB Internet;
• 100 minutes;
• 100 SMS.

The subscription fee is 200 rubles/month (when you first connect, payment for 3 months in the amount of 600 rubles is required) or 1800 rubles/year. Otherwise, the “Smart Watches” are subject to the same conditions that were discussed as part of the review of the “Smart Things” tariff. to plug

Comparative table of Megafon tariffs without Internet and subscription fee

To understand which of the two tariffs is the most profitable, we compared the cost of calls on each of them, because they are intended for voice communications.

From the table it is obvious that Megafon’s cheapest tariff without the Internet for calls is “Go to zero” . But only on the condition that calls are made to local phones. Long-distance communication services are expensive at both TPs.

The “Per Second” tariff offers a favorable price for SMS – again, if you do not send messages outside your home region.
Calls on a per-second tariff will be beneficial only if you very rarely call anywhere, and the duration of calls is literally 10-20 seconds.

Conclusions: which is better?

It is difficult to unambiguously determine the cheapest tariff without the Internet - each of them has its own nuances, and when choosing, you should base your decision primarily on which operator your friends use. It’s stupid to connect to a more favorable tariff from Beeline if you have to make calls mainly to MTS.

But if you look at it in general, for frequent conversations with subscribers of different operators in your home region, the optimal choice would be Red Energy from MTS. “Bi+” from Beeline is cheaper than others if you communicate only with Beeline subscribers. “My Conversation” from Tele2 is definitely a winner when you need completely unlimited calls to your operator’s numbers for a minimal subscription fee. Well, “No overpayments. Calls" with all the additional features look royal if you really have a lot of communication to do. Decide what exactly you want to get from the tariff, and figure out where you will call more often. Then the answer to the question of which tariff to choose will be very easy to find.

Which Megafon tariff without Internet is suitable for pensioners?

Both packages are suitable for retired people:

1. If an elderly person is uncommunicative and rarely calls anyone on his own or does not call at all, there is no difference which of the two tariffs to subscribe to.
2. For pensioners who call local phones from time to time, it is better to select “Go to zero”.
3. Talkative retired seniors who like to chat on the phone should consider inexpensive tariffs with a subscription fee, for example, “No overpayments. Minimum". Even though the package includes internet, it may still be more profitable than a per-minute tariff plan. It all depends on how often and for how long the subscriber talks on the phone.
4. With the package “No overpayments. Calls" you can make profitable calls throughout Russia, and with tariffs without a monthly fee, long-distance calls are very expensive.
5. Some older people, due to their physical characteristics, are unable to communicate by voice. Among the tariffs without the Internet, we can recommend the “Per Second” package to such subscribers, since this is the cheapest SMS.

Review of tariff features. Piggy Bank and Protection from Paid Subscriptions

In addition to prepaid traffic and call packages, the tariffs of the #NoOverpayments line provide several interesting services. There are more of them in the All tariff than anywhere else.

Internet on messengers even at zero. If you spend the package, you will still be able to use WhatsApp, Viber, eMotion (MegaFon messenger), Facebook Messenger, TamTam and Snapchat. Everything would be fine, but I don’t understand why Telegram was so offended. They don’t want to block him anymore, guys, ah!

Unlimited on social networks . The Internet package will not be consumed at all while you use Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Everything here is completely OK, except if they added YouTube, it would be a freebie.

Internet piggy bank. Already explained how it works. I just forgot to add that the piggy bank is used up only after the main package is exhausted. But in the process of preparing the review, I noticed one more detail. The capacity of the piggy bank varies depending on the tariff:

Calls: up to 25 GB Internet: up to 50 GB All: up to 100 GB

If you subsequently accumulate more GB than the maximum capacity, the remainder on top of it will be burned. For subscribers of the “Everything” tariff, I think the ceiling of 100 GB is gorgeous, it’s more than three times more than the monthly package.

Internet distribution. The entire volume of traffic under the tariff is available for distribution from a smartphone to any other devices without additional payment or connection of services. After the package is exhausted, gigabytes from the Piggy Bank will be used. There is nothing to add, this is exactly what everyone should do, respect.

Protection against paid subscriptions. A sore subject, of course. A particularly important service for children and elderly users. This is not exactly a ban on subscriptions entirely, but rather protection from truly accidental connections. Moreover, it works even on the Internet, and not just through typical short numbers.

When you try to connect to a paid service or subscription, you will receive an additional notification asking you to confirm your request. The money will be debited if you confirm the connection of the subscription; if you click “Cancel” or simply close the window, the connection will not occur.

I tried for several hours to find at least one paid subscription on the Internet to check how it works, but alas. Send me a link to some such trash if you know:

In any case, any additional warning from the operator is better than none.

Access to Megafon TV. There's not much to discuss here. You download the Megafon TV application from the App Store or Google Play, log in using your number and get access to 63 channels. Convenient and does not consume mobile traffic. The only thing is that films and other channels are already available with a paid subscription (there are 30 days of free testing), but this is optional.
