It is not so easy to choose a suitable tariff from a mobile operator, given the nuances that may be hidden in the options of a particular plan. After all, whatever one may say, the task of any operator is to present this or that option to his subscriber as attractively as possible, so that he agrees to connect it.
In this article we will consider some tariff plans that are in force with the Megafon operator. In addition, as part of this article, we will try to identify the most profitable of them.
Specialization
To begin the description of all plans presented by any operator, it follows with an indication of the specialization of each of them. This means that the tariffs that the company offers to its subscribers have a special profile - that is, they are designed for a specific purpose. For example, “Megafon” has favorable tariffs for talking in roaming, and for working on the Internet, and for unlimited communication within the network. Depending on what specifically interests the user, he can connect this or that option. To do this, of course, you need to know what is the favorable tariff for Megafon for use for one or another purpose.
It’s easy to understand - information regarding all tariff plans on the operator’s website is broken up in clear blocks. There are options “All inclusive”, “For communication on the network”, “For communication with subscribers of other operators”, “Special” and so on. Given their interests, the subscriber can order the activation of a plan.
For communication within the network
Let's start with the simplest - plans for talking with subscribers of your network. In fact, Megafon has favorable rates for communication between the company's customers. The most remarkable (he, in fact, at the moment and the main one) is “Go to ZERO”. The plan does not imply a regular monthly fee, and calls to subscribers in your region cost 0 rubles. If we talk about conversations with users from other parts of our country, then the cost of a call to them will be 3 rubles per minute. The cost of a call increases to 12.5 rubles per minute, if we are talking about conversations with subscribers of operators other than Megafon.
Favorable tariffs in Russia or not is difficult to say. If, say, you know that most often you talk with “home” (users of your network and region), then for you this plan is quite attractive. Otherwise, if you are interested in, say, calls around the country, then you need to look, for example, at the “Warm welcome” package, which we will describe below.
For calls outside the network
Some subscribers prefer to talk with users served by other operators than with their network. For such purposes, Megafon has favorable tariffs “Everything is simple” and “Moscow Region”. The first is characterized by the fact that the cost of talking with numbers in your region is 1.6 rubles (regardless of the operator), and the second is that the first minute of a call here costs 1.6 rubles, after which the cost drops to 0.6 rubles. These are quite favorable rates for calls. “Megaphone” positions them as such, which allows them to save money if you need to communicate a lot with those who are served in your region.
For internet
Now, no less popular service than cheap calls is affordable mobile Internet. If you are an active smartphone user and would like to know which “Megaphone” tariff is the most favorable for working on the Web, you should refer to the corresponding section on the company’s website, which we will do. Here are several tariff plans that differ in cost, volume of traffic provided and destination (meaning which device you are going to use from). There is also one plan for residents of the Moscow region.
For example, if you have a smartphone, you can connect the “Internet S” option for 350 rubles per month. As part of this package, the subscriber receives 3GB of traffic. There are still plans for 16GB, 36GB and for unlimited access (though in night mode), the cost of which is 590, 890 and 1290 rubles, respectively.
For a day, the user can activate the mobile Internet service (after receiving a data packet of 70 MB) for 7 rubles per day.
For the listed options, one characteristic feature should be noted. The fact is that by connecting this tariff, you only get traffic for working on the network. If you are interested in a range of opportunities, it is more advisable to use one of the All Inclusive tariffs. About them in the next section.
Integrated Solutions
For those who do not want to go into the details of the tariffing of certain services, Megafon has specially developed favorable tariffs. These are all inclusive XS packages (as well as S, L, M, VIP).
Within their framework, a list of services is provided (Internet traffic, minutes for calls, SMS messages) for a fixed monthly fee. For example, the XS package provides 300 minutes for conversations on the Megafon network and 500 MB of Internet for 199 rubles per month. “All Inclusive S” offers 400 min, 100 SMS and 3 GB for 390 rubles / month; M - 600 minutes, 600 messages, 4GB of traffic for 590 rubles; L - 1500 min, 8 GB, 1500 SMS for 1290 rubles; and VIP - 5 thousand minutes, 10 GB of Internet and 5 thousand messages for 2700 rubles.
How to choose?
An ordinary user who first sees all the tariff plans with his mobile operator may have a question - how should he navigate in order to make the right choice? How to guess the tariff, which in the future will be the most optimal for you, and will satisfy all your needs?
To begin with, you should choose the general concept of your tariff, as already mentioned above, to determine what you most wanted to use - calls on the network, the Internet or minutes for conversations with other operators. Depending on this, simply select the most suitable package.
If you do not have specific preferences for your tariff, and you need “a little bit of everything” - then use the comprehensive plans from Megafon, which already include various options. And here everything is much simpler - if you do not know which of the package options you need - take the most affordable one. In extreme cases, if in the first month of using the service you do not have enough minutes and a packet of traffic, you can always switch to a more expensive tariff.
