How to save on roaming

Some tips to help save money on roaming:

1. Download everything you need from the Internet in advance. Why waste data while roaming on downloading movies, applications and maps, if all this can be saved to the device’s memory while you are still at home?
2. Use traffic saving features in browsers, download mobile versions of sites. You can even turn off the loading of pictures on Internet pages - after all, they often do not carry any information and “weigh” a lot.
3. Don't forget about Wi - Fi . It would be great if your hotel room has access to the Internet or if there is a cafe nearby with free Wi-Fi. Due to this, you can even communicate on the phone for free - if you have calling applications like Viber installed on it.
4. Disable auto-update applications on your phone/tablet with a SIM card. The device may start downloading new versions of applications without your knowledge - this is not critical at home, but when roaming it is unpleasant.
5. Keep your balance. Make sure that Internet traffic and call minutes are consumed from your packages, because no mobile operator is immune from technical problems, due to which services sometimes work incorrectly.
6. Disable the auto-renewal option if you don't need it. You can do this on Megafon using the USSD combinations *105*1133#. If you leave it turned on, after using up the main Internet package, they will automatically add another one to you and, accordingly, withdraw money from your balance.

Connection on the official website

There are many ways to activate the Megafon Whole World service, but it is most convenient to activate the tariff on the website. To do this, users are able to use two simple methods.

Activation requires clicking the “connection” sign, entering the desired SIM card number and confirming the decision made. You can also see other options here.

The second approach is extremely similar to the first, but involves authorization on the site. Subscribers logged into their personal account will only have to go to the international roaming section, find the appropriate function and click the button to enable the option.
