The subscription fee is 3 rubles per day. It is written off daily. If the required amount is not in the account, the traffic is blocked and free minutes are not provided. In some other regions of our country, the fee is 2 rubles per day: in the Rostov region, Volgograd region, the Republic of Tatarstan, Nizhny Novgorod and the region. And in Sakhalin, although the cost is 3 rubles per day, not 1, but 2 GB of Internet are provided.

This tariff is suitable for those who need unlimited communication within the network and some Internet. If we compare Megafon with other tariff plans, then only “Turn on!” can be compared with it in price. Open it." It also has a daily subscription fee - 6 rubles per day, but there is more traffic here - 3 GB. Here you can also communicate unlimitedly in instant messengers and with Megafon subscribers.

Minutes and SMS

The package includes an unlimited number of minutes for intranet communication in your home region. In the table we indicated what was not included in the tariff and what you need to pay for separately.

Forwarding to any numbers costs 3 rubles. All incoming calls and SMS are free. But if you live in Crimea or Sevastopol, then communication can be expensive - for calls from other regions of the country you will have to pay 2 rubles per minute of conversation.

If the “Vacation without borders” option is activated, then the fee will be 33 rubles per day, but you can talk for as long as you like. There are also pleasant moments - incoming SMS is free.

As for outgoing calls and messages from Crimea, the fee for them will be: 3 rubles per minute of conversation and 2 rubles for 1 SMS.

Internet

The package includes 1 GB per month and free traffic to instant messengers:

• WhatsApp,
• Viber,
• Facebook Messenger,
• Snapchat

• TamTam.

The Internet package is not valid in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Norilsk and Taimyr MR. Here, for 1 MB, 9.9 ₽ will be debited from your account.

In the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, special conditions apply:

• if the “Vacation without borders” option is activated, then 60 MB will be provided for 99 rubles;
• if the option is not enabled, then 2.2 rubles will be charged for 1 MB. That is, for the same 60 MB you will have to pay 132 rubles.

When 1 GB of Internet runs out, an additional package of 100 MB will be automatically connected. You will need to pay 35 rubles for it. Additional internet is provided only if there is enough money in the account. First, money will be debited from the account and only then will additional traffic be allocated. In total, you can receive up to 15 packages of 100 MB per day.

But you can do it differently: enable the “Extend Internet” option. Its activation costs 170 rubles. For this money you will get 1 GB of traffic. In this case, the package provided by the “Extend Internet” option will be consumed first, and then 100 MB from the “Auto-renewal” option.

Long distance communication and roaming

• Megafon subscribers – 3 rubles;

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

• The volume of services for 600 ₽ is very worthy.
• Discounts for students and pensioners, well done!
• Minutes within the network do not waste the package! MegaFon, is that you?
• There are no restrictions on distribution with the exception of... see cons.
• Transfer of traffic and minutes or “Piggy Bank”.
• Operation of instant messengers and on-net calls with a minus balance.
• Decent amount of minutes.
• Protection against paid subscriptions.

Minuses

• Paid services in the tariff that are activated “by default”: “Vacation without worries”, “Kaleidoscope”, “Replace the dial tone”. Look carefully in your personal account and turn off everything unnecessary - save your money.
• Limitation on torrent download speed to 128 Kbps.
• Prohibition of using SIM cards in modems or routers. Minus “with a creak”, of course, but what if I really need it?

How to connect a non-public Megafon tariff

Hidden Megafon tariffs are available to a narrow circle of subscribers. These are the company employees themselves, their families, as well as corporate clients who have entered into a special agreement.

But there is one legal way to get a cheap tariff plan for an ordinary subscriber. In this case, the connection will be offered by the operator himself. This is possible as part of a customer retention program. To do this you need:

1. Go to the office of any other operator and write an application for switching with your number.
2. After this, after 2-3 days, an operator will call from Megafon and ask about the reasons for leaving. Typically, the subscriber is offered one of the hidden tariffs to deter him from switching to a competitor.
3. The operator can offer another option - the current tariff on favorable terms, for example, with a 50 percent discount on the subscription fee.
4. If the client agrees, then a tariff plan with new parameters is connected to him, and the application for the transition is canceled.

It often happens that a call center operator simply forgets to send a request to cancel the transition. In this case, the subscriber will receive favorable conditions, but after a week his number will be transferred to another operator. To prevent this from happening, you can go to the office where the application was written and cancel the transfer.

To avoid all these manipulations, some people prefer to simply buy a tariff on special sites and forums. The telecom operator has nothing to do with these sales and considers them illegal. Sellers are companies that enter into a corporate agreement and receive activation codes for their employees. The price of one such tariff ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 thousand rubles.

How to connect to the program?

To connect to this program, you should:

1. Download the special certificate, which you can find here, and fill it out;
2. After filling out the certificate, you need to take it to the company management - the direct client - for certification. The company may refuse to connect you to the corporate program.
3. With the signed certificate, go to the nearest Megafon mobile phone store and arrange the connection. We remind you that you can connect up to five numbers to one certificate.

Employees who have access to corporate tariffs can choose any tariff offered by Megafon. They will make the payment themselves.

We remind you that if an employee is fired, he will be disconnected from the program and use of preferential options, but the number used will be saved.

What are the dangers of using hidden tariffs?

Those exclusive tariffs that the operator himself connects are completely safe and legal. The only limitation is that if the tariff is changed, the discount ceases to apply (if the subscriber had special conditions added to his current tariff).

When a SIM card or activation code is purchased from a third party, there is always a risk. The number may be blocked by the operator if fraud is discovered. In a year, the organization may close and the tariff will cease to apply; in the worst case, the number will be blocked forever and you will have to buy a new SIM card with a different number.

If the transition to a tariff occurs with a change of owner (often such tariffs are issued to an organization, and not to an individual), then the subscriber loses basic opportunities for service by the operator:

• Restoration and voluntary blocking of a number.
• Tariff change.
• Connection of services.
• Switch to another operator with your number.

Another disadvantage is the high cost of purchase. If the tariff ceases to operate soon, it will not even have time to pay for itself due to the low subscription fee. At the same time, there are many reviews on the network from subscribers who have been using the hidden tariff for more than a year. But there are also many whose tariffs dropped a couple of months after connecting.

Closed tariffs in 2021 are of interest to more and more subscribers. This is understandable - they are very attractive due to the favorable combination of price and service packages. The best way to get them is through a retention program. No operator wants to lose its customers, and in order to cancel their transfer to a competitor, it offers special conditions.

Purchasing from a third party site does not come with any guarantees. The tariff runs the risk of not working for long, and the seller may even turn out to be a scammer. Be careful and do not send your money to suspicious resources.

For several years he worked in mobile phone stores of two large operators. I understand tariffs well and see all the pitfalls. I love gadgets, especially Android ones.

Conclusion

For some subscribers, the “More Discoveries” tariff may seem attractive - for those who call exclusively to local Megafon numbers and actively use instant messengers. For everyone else, More Discoveries isn't the best choice.

However, the biggest disadvantage of the tariff is its non-publicity. If you liked the “More Discoveries” tariff and are ready to switch to it, then it is far from a fact that you will succeed.
