Megafon Internet: all available options and tariffs. Ways to share megaphone traffic

The telecommunications company Megafon is actively promoting its Yota brand and it is within this operator that it has concentrated the most profitable offers for active Internet users. There is an objective opinion that after this Megafon began to lose to its main competitors in terms of unlimited Internet services. The stability of the provider’s position was also shaken by the sending of services to the archive from 02/01/2017 “ Unlimited Internet", which is no longer available for new connections. However, Megafon tariffs are still capable of providing users with large traffic packages and even unlimited night Internet.

Megafon service "Mega Unlimited"

This service is intended for a smartphone or tablet running one of the “All Inclusive” or “Warm Welcome” tariff plans. Functionally, the “MegaUnlimit” option is similar to the MTS tariff and the Beeline tariff plan #EVERYTHING is possible.

The daily subscription fee of the option depends both on the region of registration of the SIM card and on the tariff itself. Let's take a closer look at the size of the subscription fee for various tariff plans using the example of the Moscow region:

“Warm welcome” S, “All inclusive” S – 9.0 rub. per day;
“Warm welcome” M, “All inclusive” M – 7.0 rub. per day;
“All inclusive” X and XL – 5.0 rub. per day;
“All inclusive” VIP – 0.0 rub. per day.

As we can see, the subscription fee for unlimited Internet on the phone is more than acceptable, and for owners of the “All inclusive” VIP tariff additional payments are not provided at all.

The disadvantages of the “MegaUnlimit” option include:

a critical drop in Internet speed when installing a SIM card in a modem or router;
inability to use torrent trackers;
limiting the effect of the option to the home region;
lack of ability to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi.

But, as already mentioned at the very beginning of the review, the “MegaUnlimit” option has acquired archived status and is now unavailable for new connections. It was performed using the USSD command * 105 * 1153 # , was free when using the service for the first time and cost the subscriber 100 rubles. upon reactivation.

Internet from Megafon

Now let's move on to discussing those Internet options that are available to users now. There are not many of them, and they all have limited traffic packages for phones and tablets. Megafon has provided some exception only for modems and routers. If the user has exhausted the traffic limit provided for in the tariff ahead of schedule, it is possible to use the “Extend speed” service with the necessary additional volume (70 MB, 1 GB, 5 GB). To timely control the remaining traffic, a USSD request is used * 558 # .

Most options are subject to a restriction that the allocated traffic is divided in half between night and daytime.

Half of the Internet traffic volume can be used from 7 am to 1 am, the other 50% is calculated for the remaining time.

It is important to know that paying for the Internet option for a long period allows you to save significantly due to the provider’s discount:

3 months – 10% of the monthly fee;
6 months – 20% of the monthly fee;
12 months – 30% of the monthly fee.

So, let's take a closer look at Megafon's Internet offerings.

Mobile Internet for smartphones

For a mobile phone, there are 3 packages from the “Internet” family of options, which provide traffic without speed limits and are valid throughout the country. To timely control the remaining traffic, a USSD request is used * 558 # .

Internet from Megafon for tablets

There are also 3 Internet option packages available for tablets. Two of them (“Internet M” 16 GB and “Internet L” 36 GB) are common services with a smartphone, which were described above. Therefore, only the S series service deserves special consideration.

"Internet Tablet S"

The option is designed only for tablets and is valid throughout Russia. Subscriber for 400 rub. a monthly package of 4 GB of traffic at maximum speed, 1 movie of video content and a package of TV channels from the provider are allocated. To enable the option, use a short command * 105 * 1127 * 1 # or sending an empty SMS message to the number 05001127 .

If the user needs to switch to a new tariff plan that supports this type services, the “Internet Tablet S” option will remain active.

Internet Megafon for computers

Most often, 2 packages of Internet options are used for modems and routers: “Internet L” 36 GB and “Internet XL” with night unlimited. The first of them has already been described by us, so we will pay attention to the option that does not limit the speed and volume of traffic from 1 am to 7 am.

"Internet XL" for computer

The package provides 30 GB of traffic for use during the daytime and night Internet without limitation. The subscription fee is 1290 rubles. per month, while it is possible to receive a discount of 10% if you make an advance payment for the service for a period of 3 to 12 months.

To enable the option, you need to type the command * 236 * 5 * 1 # or send a message with the number 1 to the number 05009125 .

The operator's promises to provide access to the network without restrictions often remain empty words. Therefore, it is useful to understand what the conditions are for Megafon’s so-called unlimited Internet and whether it actually exists.

Real unlimited

As it turned out, Megafon’s unlimited Internet actually exists and that’s what the operator’s option is called. Many people know it under the name “Megabezlimit”, but the official name from the operator is “Unlimited Internet”. For a fee, the subscriber receives truly unlimited access to a high-speed connection.

Important! Provided additionally at the “All Inclusive” and “Warm Welcome” tariffs.

The option in question is activated automatically after the package traffic at the specified tariffs is exhausted. Depending on the volume of the package, its price will change. At the same time, access to the network is maintained provided that there are enough funds in the account to pay for the service. That is, theoretically there is still unlimited, but you need to pay extra for it.

For phone

Unlimited Internet from Megafon is worth considering as one of the services in the tariffs. Moreover, some of them make it possible to activate access to the network without restrictions for a month or even a day. The data transfer speed will depend on the coverage that is available in the region where the subscriber is located. It can be 2G, 3G or 4G. Payment may be charged daily or once a month.

Important! These tariffs can only be used on a phone or tablet. If you install a SIM card in a router or modem, payment for each megabyte is charged separately.

Internet M

This package is the most popular and this is not surprising. Its price per month of use is 590 rubles. These prices are relevant for Moscow and the region; in other regions, tariffs are slightly different.

For the specified monthly subscription fee, the client receives access to 16 GB without speed limitation. When this limit is exhausted, the connection is not interrupted, although its speed drops to 64 kbps, which is extremely low. You won't be able to download or even open even one page.

The service is suitable and the volume is quite sufficient for:

checking mail and exchanging emails;
communication on social networks and via instant messengers;
listening to music tracks;
surfing the net;
shopping in online stores.

Important! All users of this service can count on nice bonus– 2 films for free viewing and access to the Megafon TV channel package.

You can connect by typing the combination ✶ 2 3 6 ✶ 3 # . To disable the command, send an SMS to the number 0 5 0 0 9 1 2 3 with the text "STOP".

A more modest package, and you can’t call it unlimited even with minimal traffic usage. For a payment of 350 rubles per month you can count on 3 GB. Access to high speed, but realistically with such a volume it will be possible:

check mail;
communicate moderately on social networks;
use popular instant messengers;
listen to tracks online;
surf websites.

The terms of use after the package is exhausted are the same as above. Managing the service is convenient through the commands:

Activation - ✶ 2 3 6 ✶ 2 ✶ 1 # .
Deactivation - ✶ 2 3 6 ✶ 0 0 # .

And this package is the most respectable, although the fee for it is not small - 890 rubles monthly. Having such a resource, you can use all the possibilities of the Internet, namely:

Working with email.
Communication on social networks, instant messengers.
Download music and videos, including movies.
Internet distribution if the device options allow it.

Additionally, the package includes 4 free movies and access to mobile television Megaphone.

Tablet tariffs

Tablet XS;
Tablet S;
Internet M;
Internet L.

The last two tariffs are discussed above and are provided for tablet users under the same conditions. As for the first two, they are worth considering in more detail.

An offer for the most economical users who want to stay online, even despite a limited budget. So, the option costs 190 rubles, for this fee 1.5 GB is provided. Available nationwide, but prices may vary slightly. The specified traffic volume applies even when traveling.

Of course, you won’t be able to surf the Internet regularly, but checking your email and visiting a social network page from time to time is quite possible.

To activate you need to dial ✶ 1 0 5 ✶ 1 0 2 6 # . It is useful to control the rest of the traffic; to do this you need to dial ✶ 5 5 8 # .

Tablet S

This option is already more impressive, because it offers 4 GB of Internet at high speed, the price is 400 rubles per month. Maximum speed depends on network coverage in a particular region. The subscriber has 1 free movie at his disposal.

Using a SIM card in a modem or router requires more traffic, because consumption in this case will increase. Such devices can use “Internet L” and “Internet XL” tariffs. They operate throughout the country, regardless of the location of the subscriber. Under the terms of the first service, 36 GB is provided and both were discussed in more detail above.

Important! A SIM card with the Internet L package can be used in any device; this does not affect the conditions for providing traffic.

As for the largest and most expensive option, it costs 1,290 rubles per month. If you use a SIM card in a tablet, the subscriber receives:

Internet package – 30 GB;
unlimited traffic at night;
access without restrictions and cancellation of the main package to navigation, mail, cloud storage, social networks, music and video services.

They cannot be activated at the same time, but they can be interchanged. That is, when one is activated, if the second was previously connected, it is deactivated.
You should check the specific conditions for your region on the operator’s website.

Saving options

If you have to use the Internet very often, then it makes sense to pay a subscription fee for 3 or more months at once. On at the moment The operator has a promotion for regular subscribers. Its essence is that the longer the payment is made, the cheaper each month will be. Conditions:
