Almost all Megafon tariffs do not include roaming in Russia. Because of this, mobile users are beginning to completely forget what roaming is. However, it unpleasantly reminds you of itself when you leave the borders of our country. Regardless of whether you went abroad to work or relax, you will probably need to use mobile communication services. And here you will have to figure out all the intricacies of international roaming, which the following article will help you with.

To save on roaming fees, select the required option.

Foreign roaming from Megafon

Megafon is a mobile operator with which roaming is very convenient. Flexible tariffs and a variety of services will allow you to spend a minimum of money on mobile communications, no matter where you are. And on the website moscow.megafon.ru/roaming/world there is all the information about roaming tariffs in each specific country. This will allow you to calculate approximately how much you will spend on communications for your entire trip, as well as select the most convenient package of services for you.

Rates for calls, SMS and internet abroad can vary greatly depending on the country in which you will be located. In most European countries, roaming is relatively inexpensive. Tariffs for Egypt and Turkey, popular among tourists, are also not very expensive. But for those who went to the USA, it will not be easy: for a minute of conversation you will have to pay almost 200 rubles (maybe in the USA the salaries are higher, but not by the same amount).

However, Megafon, in order to simplify the life of its customers and increase their loyalty, uses a variety of options that will help you spend as little money as possible on mobile communications during your travels (to save on something nice, one assumes). You just need to estimate how many minutes and megabytes you will need during your visit abroad, and then choose the most suitable option.

More about options

The basic option for roaming, which is provided by default on all Megafon SIM cards, is “no option”. You simply use your phone abroad, no need to connect anything additional. However, prices for communication services in this case will be painful. To save money, it makes sense to use one of the services we list below:

The whole world

Provides 40 free inbox minutes for all regions. Connection is free, but for each day of use you pay 59 rubles. Is it profitable? In countries with the cheapest roaming, a minute of incoming calls costs 79 rubles. Do the math for yourself.

Around the world

Reduces the cost of incoming calls several times, as well as outgoing calls to the territory of the Russian Federation and the current country of residence. SMS are also becoming significantly cheaper.

25/50 min World

Provides 25 or 50 (your choice) free minutes for all calls, except those outgoing outside the country and not to Russia. For connection you need to pay 829 and 1429 rubles, depending on the number of minutes.

25/50 minutes Europe and CIS

The same as the previous option, but only valid in the respective countries. Costs 329 and 495 rubles for connection. Outside Europe and the CIS (see the full list of countries on the megafon website) you will be in roaming “without an option”.

These were options related to calls only. There are also those that will help you use the Internet and SMS messages abroad cheaper:

50/100 SMS Europe

For 690 rubles you can buy a package for 50 SMS messages. Pay 100 rubles more, and the number of free SMS messages will increase to 100.

50/100 SMS World

Yes, the same thing, but it also applies outside of Europe. It will cost 990 and 1190 rubles, respectively.

World online

Gives the right to use unlimited internet, which will cost you 600 rubles per day. When you no longer need the Internet, do not forget to disable the option - it is renewed automatically, debiting 600 rubles from your account each time.

Vacation online

Connect this option for only 30 rubles to set the price for each megabyte of the Internet at 15 rubles. This is beneficial if you don't need a lot of traffic. Perfect if the Internet is needed only for correspondence in instant messengers.

All options can be activated either via SMS messages, or using special USSD commands, or by calling the support system at 0500, or through your personal account.

More about countries

As already said: different country- different tariffs.

Roaming in Turkey

If you find yourself in Turkey for several days (it’s unlikely that you went there for work, right?), then for all incoming calls, as well as for outgoing calls to Turkey and Russia, you will pay 79 rubles per minute of conversation, without any discounts for the next minutes, as well as without a subscription fee.

Outgoing calls to all other countries will cost 129 rubles per minute. Receiving SMS, of course, is free, but sending them costs 25 rubles apiece.

Do not forget that large SMS can be divided into 2, 3 or more messages, you will pay for each according to the tariff.

If you use the Internet, 350 rubles will be debited from your account, and you will be given 70 MB for a day; for the next 70 MB you will have to pay the same 350 rubles (but the amount will not be debited automatically the second time). We hope that your hotel will have good internet.

Roaming in Egypt

A more remote resort is Egypt. Roaming prices are also a little more expensive. For minutes of any conversations 129 rubles. By the way, with the “around the world” option there are only 19. One SMS costs 25 rubles, with the same option – 14. And 350 rubles for every 70 megabytes of Internet. Exactly the same tariffs when visiting China and Japan.

Europe

In many European countries, roaming rates from Megafon are the same as in Turkey. Don’t forget about the 25/50 minutes Europe and CIS options, they will help you save a lot when traveling around Europe, and you won’t have to count your losses for every minute of conversation. By the way, these options also apply in Turkey.

Roaming in the USA and Canada

In the USA and Canada, Internet and SMS prices are the same as elsewhere. But calls are much more expensive: 199 rubles per minute for outgoing or incoming calls. Here the options “around the world” and “whole world” will be most appropriate. The same conditions apply in Australia and New Zealand.

The situation is worst in remote countries with poorly developed infrastructure. For example, in Mongolia and Iraq, a minute of even incoming calls will cost 350 rubles. About mobile internet you can almost forget there. Fortunately, these destinations are not popular among Russians.

CIS countries

In the CIS countries, roaming prices are different. The cheapest is in Kazakhstan. Here calls are only 39 rubles. In Abkhazia and Georgia, communication is expensive: 109 rubles per minute of conversation. However, for Abkhazia there is a special option “at home in Abkhazia”; for 30 rubles a day you can significantly reduce your communication costs while in this country.

Regarding international roaming, one cannot fail to mention Crimea. Although it is part of the Russian Federation, roaming exists there even for those tariffs on which it is not available throughout the rest of Russia. Prices, of course, are not as high as in international roaming: 10 rubles per minute of conversation, per megabyte of Internet, SMS - 5 rubles. There is also an option “Crimea”, which allows you to reduce the cost of calls. The daily fee for the option is 15 rubles.

Special options for some regions

Sometimes Megafon introduces options that are available only in one or several countries. Not so long ago, “unlimited Italy” functioned, which made it possible to profitably use the Internet in Italy. Today, among the special options, only “at home in Abkhazia” is available.

Before traveling abroad, do not forget to check if Megafon has introduced any special option for the country you are going to visit.

Refusal of roaming

If you decide that when traveling you do not want to use communication services at all, you are ready to limit yourself to only local Wi-Fi, or you want to purchase a local SIM card, then we recommend that you completely disable international roaming. This is done by enabling the “international roaming prohibition” option, when activated, your SIM card actually stops working outside the Russian Federation. Why is this necessary? For example, if you are afraid to accidentally go online, or do not want to receive incoming calls from Russia.

Maybe it's easier to buy a local SIM card?

Firstly, you will still have to accept megaphone incoming messages on your SIM card from people who do not know that you are not in Russia. If you purchase local SIM card, you will have to deal with the tariffs and services of local operators, which can cause difficulties - they are unlikely to have a website in Russian, and it can also be difficult to communicate with managers in a foreign communication store. In addition, tariffs for communication services in some countries may themselves be expensive.

And keep in mind that most of your calls to Russia, calls to the territory of another state always have an increased rate, even when there is no roaming. And most European mobile operators They do not provide unlimited internet.

Wi-Fi or paid mobile internet?

It all depends on what you will do on the trip. If this is a vacation in a hotel, from which you will not often leave anyway, then it is better to limit yourself to the hotel Internet. However, if you, for example, travel by car, or are constantly on the move on a work trip, then catching Wi-Fi in cafes and distribution points is not the best idea.

The main thing is that you are not obliged to thoroughly plan all the nuances of your vacation regarding mobile communications even before leaving. After all, you can set up tariffs and options that are convenient for you while you are already abroad. To do this, you only need the Internet (you don’t need a lot of traffic) to log into your personal account. Or you can call contact center by calling 0500, where operators will help you select and configure the options and services that suit you. From most countries, calling 0500 is free.

Questions from subscribers

What tariffs will apply in Bulgaria?

Incoming calls, as well as outgoing calls to Russian and Bulgarian numbers, will cost 49 rubles - not so expensive for roaming, but it still makes sense to connect the “25/50 minutes Europe and CIS” option. Outgoing calls to numbers in other countries - 129 rubles. For SMS - 25 rubles. Internet - 350 rubles for every 70 megabytes.

We are going to Cyprus, what roaming should we connect and what communication costs should we expect?

It all depends on how many calls you are going to make. If there is a lot - connect “25 minutes Europe and CIS”, if there is a lot - “50 minutes Europe and CIS”. Calls can be replaced with SMS, if only 100 SMS are enough for you, which will cost 790 rubles. Thus, for, say, a week’s vacation in Cyprus, you will pay no more than a thousand rubles for communications. This is in case you want to stay in touch. If during your entire vacation you only make a couple of random calls and send 2-3 SMSs, then you don’t need to connect anything - in this case you will spend a maximum of 200-300 rubles on communications.

Megafon roaming is a very profitable service for those who want to stay in touch with their family and friends while traveling around Russia or the world. In this article we will tell you how to enable roaming on Megafon and how to disable it after returning home.

If you are moving around the territory of our state and you have a subscriber number for MegaFon RF, then a special connection is not required to continue using communications. Your number will be registered in cellular networks MegaFon automatically and you will continue to use it.

Our review will tell you how Megafon services are priced when traveling around Russia and whether roaming within the country will finally be cancelled.

Under pressure from the FAS (Federal Antimonopoly Service), operators cellular communications So far, only the terms have been canceled. In particular, the concept of “intranet roaming” is no longer used - that is, the subscriber’s state when traveling around the country, and they have also decided on the name “National Roaming”.

Now the concept of “National Roaming” refers to the inclusion of a regime for the cost of voice calls and the transmission of short SMS messages in the event of an announcement of “an emergency situation in a certain region for a certain period.” The cost of services in this state will be as follows:

  • Outgoing voice calls to all numbers in Russia – 1 ruble per minute.
  • Incoming calls are free.
  • Outgoing SMS to Russian numbers – 5 rubles per message.
  • Incoming SMS is free.

The concepts of “Home Region” and “Home Service Area” remained, as did the concept of “Other Regions of the Country”. More tariff plans have appeared that operate throughout the country on the same terms (except for a few regions. The main ones are Crimea, Chukotka, Kamchatka and the Far East) and related or combined tariffs.

How much does domestic roaming cost?

The FAS continues to butt heads and advocates for the complete abolition of intranet roaming. Operators, including MegaFon, on the one hand, promise to abolish different prices for different territories within the state, on the other hand, they are in no hurry to remove the difference. The reasons for this persistence are understandable - roaming prices still remain high, but operators assure that it is not a matter of “thirst for profit”, but of the “technical complexity” of such a transition, which is quite strange to hear from the country’s leaders in high technology. FAS periodically issues demands and files lawsuits, and operators slowly invent new tariffs.

Roaming tariffs

Many tariffs that have already been put into effect have adjacent (combined) prices. Voice calls are the same price everywhere, but Internet calls are different and vice versa. Read a special review about MegaFon's terms of use on our website. Senior (more expensive) tariffs of the “Turn on” line and others with a subscription fee and package offers.

There are still tariff plans in which the stated prices apply exclusively within the operator’s home service region. Outside the home “zone”, completely different prices begin to work, as before. These are mainly junior tariff plans of the “Turn on” line, as well as other tariffs without a subscription fee.

Packages and options in roaming

The connected service packages differ in their coverage area, so when you run out of minutes or run out of Internet traffic, and you decide to activate additional Megabytes or time for voice calls, check the service coverage areas.

Important! There is a MegaFon rule - the coverage area of ​​additional packages and options is equal to the coverage area of ​​the main tariff plan. But the rule has exceptions.

What's always free?

The following services always remain free when roaming in the Russian Federation from MegaFon:

  • Contact technical support by numbers 0500, 8 800 550 05 00, +7 926 111 05 00 .
  • Check your balance using the USSD command *100#.
  • “Pay for me” service. Details at the link https://megafon.ru/services/account/zaplati_za_menya/zaplati_za_menya.html#price.
  • Incoming SMS messages.
  • Check the remaining packages in the on-screen menu, called by the *105# command and moving around it, entering the item number using the device keyboard numbers, using the dial key as a data entry command.
