Customer Reviews
Mikhail: “I often call for work, so the VIP tariff was an excellent option for me. Now I calmly call back clients from other regions, discuss details without worrying that I will receive a huge bill for services.”
Ivan: “I have a small business, so I often have to travel abroad and make calls throughout Russia. Previously I used another Megafon tariff “Turn on! Communicate,” but in 2021 he switched to VIP. I chose the tariff based on reviews. I like “VIP” better than “Turn on”, as it provides more minutes and SMS. And “Turn On” did not have a pleasant bonus in the form of the ability to accumulate roaming minutes. With it, mobile communications have become even cheaper, so I’m happy.”
Konstantin: “I just love comfort and don’t like restrictions. I found VIP Megafon while reading reviews about tariffs that have unlimited Internet access. Now you can safely call friends from another region and not think that you need to do it in 10 minutes. Mobile Internet is unlimited, which is great. Now, on trips to nature, I calmly distribute the Internet to friends. Very comfortably".
