Megafon tariff “Like at home” - description and conditions

Everyone knows that outside the home region in which the SIM card service agreement was drawn up, the cost of the provided communication services is significantly higher than the standard ones. And this applies not only to traveling abroad, but also to roaming within the country. For subscribers actively traveling around Russia in 2021, Megafon has developed the “Be at home” option. Many call this proposal a tariff, but such positioning is fundamentally incorrect. “Be at home” is just an option that adds a number of features to the user and provides a discount for using services outside the home region.

What is the option

The terms of the service provide for the use of all types of communications while roaming throughout the country at the usual prices of the home region. The subscriber will not have to overpay for calls, messages or Internet access.

You can enable and disable the option as many times as you like. Any subsequent activation of the option will cost the client 30 rubles; deactivation of the service is free. It is beneficial to enable the option immediately upon entering roaming and disable it upon arrival home, so as not to overpay the subscription fee.

This service is suitable not only for active travelers or employees who often go on business trips around the country, but also for one-time trips. This is due to the fact that the service can be easily connected to any tariff plan, except for the special offers “Around the World” or “Turn On! Look,” and also turns off easily. It is worth considering that “make yourself at home” is incompatible with similar options, for example, “all of Russia” or “Gigabyte for the road”.

Payment and cost

Do not forget about replenishing your account prematurely and preparing to replenish it while roaming. Because if there are no funds left in the account and the subscription fee cannot be charged, the service is automatically disabled and the terms of the roaming tariff come into effect.

In addition to the subscription fee for the option, you must also continue to pay for the Megafon tariff . Thus, 15 rubles are conditionally added to the cost of services of the tariff plan valid in the Home region.

Features of the service

As mentioned above, Megafon “Like Home” tariff is a misnomer. The option is activated under current conditions and does not change the user’s tariff plan.

The service has a number of features that should be taken into account when connecting.

• The option applies to all regions of the country that are not home to a specific user. The only exceptions are Sevastopol, Crimea and Norilsk.
• The cost of all communication services is equal to their prices under normal conditions. In this case, the connection will cost the subscriber 30 rubles and the subscription fee will be debited from the balance for the entire period the option is active.
• All additional discounts, options and other add-ons activated by the user continue to apply under the same conditions.
• The option is available on all tariff plans with a few exceptions for highly specialized products.
• Connection together with services of the same type that offer discounts on communications in roaming throughout the country is impossible.
• Megafon is unlimited, that is, its activity is valid for the entire period until the subscriber independently disables the add-on.

When connecting to the opportunity to use communications at low prices, regardless of location, you should take into account all of the above nuances.

"All Russia"

Here, incoming calls, regardless of the user’s location, become completely free ; every minute of an outgoing call, as well as SMS messages, cost 3 rubles. If the option has not been used previously, then activation will be free, the daily subscription fee will be 7 rubles. Re-activation in the future costs 30 rubles, which is worth remembering. To connect you need to dial *548*1# and press the call key. You can also send an SMS to 0500975. The option is disabled with the command *548*01#.

Subtleties of use

In order for the use of the option to be justified and truly profitable, it is necessary to take into account some recommendations that will allow you to reduce costs not only while traveling, but also at home.

What should you do to avoid overpaying when traveling around the country?

1. First of all, before traveling, you need to clarify how the service is provided at the place of your intended stay. You need to go to the section with a description of the option on the official website of the telecom operator and specify the destination to receive detailed conditions for the provision of the service. It is worth remembering that communication discounts do not apply to certain regions of the country. In particular, this applies to the Crimean peninsula and the regions of the Far North.
2. The second thing that should not be forgotten is that timely shutdown has no restrictions in terms of time frame. The subscription fee will be charged to the client regardless of his location, until he independently deactivates the option. As soon as the subscriber crosses the border of the home region, there is no longer a need for “Be at home” and it can be turned off immediately. The same applies to going on a trip; it is important to activate discounts in a timely manner.

"Gigabyte for the road"

This option is for those who spend a lot of time on the Internet and expect greater speed. Paying 300 rubles per month for a gigabyte of traffic that has no expiration date. Dial the command *105*730# and the call key or send an SMS to the number 000105730 . You can disconnect using the command *105*730*0# and the call key.

It is worth understanding that if you enter the territory of the northern or Far Eastern region, then such options will not apply there. In addition, all previously described possibilities for connecting the “Megafon Everywhere at Home” option can be carefully studied on the official website and subscribe to them using your personal account.
