Choosing a suitable tariff from a mobile operator is not so easy, 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 its subscriber as attractively as possible so that he agrees to connect it.
In this article we will consider some tariff plans that operate with the Megafon operator. In addition, as part of writing this article, we will try to identify the most profitable of them.
Specialization
Begin the description of all plans presented by any operator with an indication of the specialization of each of them. This means that the tariffs offered by the company to its subscribers have a special profile - that is, they are designed for a specific purpose. For example, Megafon has favorable rates for calls 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 one or another option. To do this, of course, you need to know what is the best tariff on MegaFon for use for one purpose or another.
It's easy to understand - informationregarding all tariff plans on the operator's website is divided into clear blocks. There are options “All inclusive”, “For communication on the network”, “For communication with subscribers of other operators”, “Special” and so on. Taking into account their interests, the subscriber can order the activation of a particular plan.
For communication within the network
Let's start with the simplest - plans for conversations with subscribers of your network. In fact, Megafon has favorable rates for communication between the company's customers. The most remarkable (it is, in fact, the main one at the moment) is “Go to ZERO”. The plan does not imply a regular subscription 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 rises to 12.5 rubles per minute when it comes to conversations with subscribers of operators other than MegaFon.
Favorable tariffs in Russia or not - it's hard to say. If, say, you know that you most often talk with “home” (users of your network and region), then this plan is quite attractive for you. Otherwise, if you are interested in, say, calls within 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 to users served by othersoperators than with their own network. For such purposes, Megafon has favorable tariffs “Everything is simple” and “Podmoskovny”. The first is characterized by the fact that the cost of a conversation with the numbers of your region is 1.6 rubles (regardless of the operator), and the second is that the first minute of the call here costs 1.6 rubles, after which the cost drops to 0.6 rubles. These are quite favorable rates for calls. Megafon positions them as such that they allow you to save money if you need to communicate a lot with those who are served in your area.
For Internet
Now no less demanded service than cheap calls is affordable mobile Internet. If you are an active smartphone user and would like to know which MegaFon tariff is the most profitable 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, amount of traffic provided and purpose (meaning which device you are going to use it 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 3 GB of traffic. There are also plans for 16GB, 36GB and 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 (having received a 70Mb data package) for7 rubles per day.
According to the listed options, one characteristic feature should be noted. The fact is that by connecting this tariff, you will receive only 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.
Complex 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).
They provide a list of services (Internet traffic, minutes for calls, SMS messages) for a fixed monthly fee. For example, the XS package provides 300 minutes for calls in the Megafon network and 500 MB of Internet for 199 rubles per month. All Inclusive S offers 400 minutes, 100 SMS and 3GB for 390 rubles/month; M - 600 minutes, 600 messages, 4GB of traffic for 590 rubles; L - 1500 min, 8GB, 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 from his mobile operator may have a question - how should he navigate in order to make the right choice? How to guess the tariff that will be the most optimal for you in the future and will satisfy all your needs?
First of all, you should choose the general concept of your tariff, as already mentioned earlier - decide what youwanted to use - calls on the network, the Internet or minutes for talking with other operators. Depending on this, just choose 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 already much simpler - if you do not know which of the package options you need - take the most affordable one. In extreme cases, if you don’t have enough minutes and a traffic package in the first month of using the service, you can always switch to a more expensive tariff.
