Megafon “Gigabyte on the Road” service for access to the Internet outside the Moscow region. Who will be interested in this offer?


I will share my experience of using mobile Internet in Moscow. Historically, it so happened that I use Megafon. Including for mobile Internet on iPad. Works great - large coverage area and good speed.
Lifehack #1. Quite by accident, I found out about discounts when paying for 3 months, six months, a year. A year ago, they didn’t hear about this in communication shops. I don’t know if they will tell me about discounts now, because I switched to self-service. And in your personal account all these discounts and additional options There is.
For example, I use the “Internet S” tariff option - 3 GB of traffic for 1 month. I don’t use audio/video streaming services, so this amount of traffic is always enough for me.
1 month - 350 rubles
3 months - 945 rubles (315 rubles/month)
6 months - 1680 rubles (280 rubles/month)
12 months - 2940 rubles (245 rubles/month)
Lifehack No. 2. Personal account and Internet account. This is the answer to several of the most popular questions:
1. How can I see my SIM card number on iPad?
2. How to enable roaming option on iPad? On cell phone an SMS notification like “Dial *105*730# to subscribe to the Gigabyte package on the road” arrives. But not on iPad telephone keypad and I can't enable this option. What should I do?
Go to the Internet account.
The Internet account is available at http://user.moscow.megafon.ru only through a tablet browser when connected via cellular network. Allows you to quickly view and top up your balance and connect the necessary options. But for details, account details, and management of options, you will be sent to your Personal Account. To do this, in the Internet account you will need to initiate access to your Personal Account - set an access password.
Your personal account is located at https://lk.megafon.ru You can go there through any browser via regular internet, including tablet browser. Here you can view the details, order a monthly report by email, enable/check/disable traffic and roaming options. Your personal account is also available as an application in the App Store.
Lifehack No. 3. Perhaps the coverage area in the metro is important to someone. Here Megafon traditionally has a weak position - in the vast majority of cases, the Internet is only available on platforms, and regular 3G, not LTE. Yes, "white people's problems."
Here http://gtoday.ru/map/metro/moscow you can see a coverage map in the metro for 2G and 3G networks for operators big three. I can’t say how up-to-date the data is - it seems the site has not been updated since the end of 2013.
And now they have launched on several metro lines free wifi, which is also available in the tunnels. So you can be stupid on VKontakte without a cellular network.
Lifehack #4. Tethering is the distribution of “cellular” Internet via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from a tablet or phone to other devices. This feature is blocked by some Western operators. I am not aware of such restrictions in Russia. A tempting opportunity for owners of old phones with 3G, especially considering the tablet’s higher traffic limit and fast network LTE. Only now there is an ambush in... Apple technology. Thematic forums are filled with messages that it is not possible to distribute the Internet via Bluetooth, because the iPhone does not see the iPad via Bluetooth. And the great thing is that I encountered this glitch! The first time everything went smoothly and the Internet was distributed safely from the iPad to the iPhone or vice versa. When I tried to change the “distributor/receiver” combination, everything broke down. And absolutely. After updating to iOS 7/8, after restoring factory settings via iTunes and other dances with a tambourine, nothing has changed. And distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi is not so interesting due to high energy consumption.
When updating to iOS 8, some people lost the Personal Hotspot tab from Settings. Returning it is very simple - you need to go to the Cellular Data -> APN settings section and in the Personal Hotspot parameter group enter the same parameters that are registered in the Cellular Data parameter group. We exit the settings, enter again and the Personal Hotspot menu item appears again where it should be - after the Cellular Data menu item.
Lifehack #5. Never top up your iPad's SIM card without further actions. I didn’t think about it and flew a little with the money. I ran out of the “Internet S for 6 months” tariff option and decided to pay for 1 month. Then I added 350 rubles to my account in the usual way through the Internet bank and continued to use the fast LTE Internet. Which ended in a week. Because it was absolutely logical that they began to serve me at the usual prices of the Megafon Online tariff plan. And there 1 MB costs 1.9 rubles. I missed one small but important detail - after replenishing your account, you need to activate the necessary option on the Internet or in your Personal Account. Or pay for services through the sales office indicating the required option.

Mobile Internet tariffs without monthly fee

More and more are appearing on the market electronic devices having a SIM card slot and using mobile Internet. These include car trackers, traffic jam navigators, and various systems alarms and automation. Many of these devices require the Internet in very small quantities. For example, a car tracker transmits data several bytes every 30 seconds. The total volume of traffic per month is only a few kilobytes, but if you use regular mobile tariffs, communication costs will be quite high - after all, in all regular tariffs, each Internet session is rounded up to 100 kilobytes, and traffic costs about 10 rubles per 1 MB. In addition, mobile Internet packages are offered with a monthly fee, which are completely unnecessary in this case.


In Moscow, operators have the following tariffs for devices with a SIM card.
Beeline
Simple Internet. Internet - 3.30 rubles per 1 MB throughout Russia (except for the Far Eastern region), rounded up to 1 KB. SMS - 1.95 rubles in Moscow and the region, 3.95 rubles in Russia. Voice calls prohibited.
Megaphone
Podmoskovny. Internet - 3 rubles per 1 MB in Moscow, 1.60 rubles per 1 MB in the Moscow region (after 30 MB per day - 0.6 rubles per 1 MB) with hourly rounding to 1 KB. SMS - 1.60 rub. Outgoing calls are 2.60 rubles in Moscow, 1.60 rubles in the region.
MegaFon-Online. Internet - 1.90 rubles per 1 MB with hourly rounding up to 100 KB. SMS - 1.9 rub. Outgoing calls - 3 rubles.
These rates are only valid in home region(Moscow and region). In other points of Russia, the Internet costs 9.90 rubles per 1 MB with hourly rounding up to 100 KB, SMS - 3.90 rubles, incoming and outgoing calls - 9 rubles.
At MegaFon you can activate the “Gigabyte for the road” option for 300 rubles. This is a gigabyte of Internet, consumed anywhere in Russia, except Moscow and the region, and has no time limit. Round up to 100 KB per session.
MTS
MTS Connect 4. Internet - 1.5 rubles per 1 MB throughout Russia, rounded up to 1 KB. SMS - 1.95 rubles in Moscow and the region, 3.95 rubles in Russia. Outgoing calls - 4 rubles to mobile phones, 5.50 rubles. to landline numbers.
You need to be smart about connecting to MTS Connect 4. By default, this tariff is sold for 600 rubles with a pre-installed unlimited package for a month. To connect without a package, you need to buy any other tariff and switch to MTS Connect 4 for free.
The big drawback of Beeline's "Simple Internet" tariff is the lack of voice. This means that, for example, a GSM alarm system will not be able to call you in the event of an alarm.
Megafon tariffs are only suitable for use in Moscow and the region. To use it in the rest of Russia, you need to enable the “Gigabyte for the road” option, but it is rounded up to 100 KB per session.
The cheapest and most universal tariff is "MTS Connect 4", it is only important that MTS has good internet service in the right places, but they have problems with this.

For example, if a trip to Russia has ended and the subscriber has returned to his region, but there is still 500 MB of traffic left on the balance, then they can be used on the next trip. The accrued traffic does not expire even after a month.

The article provides detailed description options that will be relevant for all MegaFon subscribers living in Moscow and the region. The option is valid outside the Moscow region, and is available for activation to people whose SIM card is registered in Moscow and the region.
