All users of modern smartphones have their own needs for the mobile Internet. For some, 1 GB of traffic is enough for a month, while for others, 30 GB is not enough. It all depends on the scenario for using the mobile device and many other factors, including the availability of wired Internet at home or in the office without any restrictions. At the end of 2016, Russians had the opportunity to purchase one of the tariff plans from Russian mobile operators, which had absolutely unlimited Internet.
However, for several reasons, all Russian mobile operators have abandoned absolutely unlimited mobile Internet in favor of tariff plans that include certain traffic packages. Fortunately, all mobile operators are gradually launching new services that make it possible to at least partially regain unlimited Internet access. As is known, most of Internet traffic on a smartphone is spent on viewing video content, that is, videos.
Not long ago, the MegaFon operator launched unlimited mobile Internet, which costs only 6 rubles per day. With its help you can get unlimited Internet traffic for the three most popular services that show videos. Among these were YouTube, Rutube and Vimeo. All of them are incredibly popular among Russian residents, which is why such a generous offer from the Russian mobile operator for many Russians it can be extremely beneficial. It is also worth noting that this service is valid throughout the country, which can be extremely important when traveling or business trips.
In addition, for 2 rubles per day you can connect unlimited Internet traffic for Instagram, for 4 rubles per day for the social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook, while for another 4 rubles a service called “Music” is available daily. which provides unlimited access to four extremely popular services - Boom, Zvooq, VKontakte and Yandex Music. In other words, all MegaFon subscribers have the opportunity to connect to the desired service, which allows them to receive unlimited Internet access when using certain services.
For the “Video+” service, which costs 6 rubles per day, you will not have to pay extra in the future. Money will be debited from the account every month, and if desired, you can easily connect or disconnect it. It is available to owners of the “Talk”, “Chat”, “Watch” and “Warm Welcome M” tariff plans, to which anyone can switch for free. If you use unlimited Internet to watch videos for the entire month, you will only have to pay 180 rubles, that is, absolutely a small amount money. At the same time, you can use at least 500 GB of Internet traffic to watch videos.
All prices indicated in the article are relevant for the Moscow and Moscow Region region. In other regions of Russia they will differ slightly, and, as a rule, to a lesser extent.

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 the “Unlimited Internet” service to the archive from 02/01/2017, 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 see, subscription fee for unlimited Internet on a phone is more than acceptable, and for owners of the “All Inclusive” VIP tariff there are no additional payments 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 # .
For most options, there is 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.

Today's consumers need a lot of options - they need voice minutes, SMS packages and gigabytes of network access. For this purpose, operators are creating new package tariffs and ancillary services containing a huge number of options. If we consider the offers called “Unlimited Internet” and “Internet XL” from Megafon, then we have typical services for mobile traffic consumers.
Today’s article will tell you how to connect unlimited Internet to Megafon, the features of the options presented and the conditions for their use.
Note! It is immediately necessary to clarify the fact that for some reason many subscribers call this proposal"Mega Unlimited" In reality, such an option does not exist. This service has a completely different name, namely “Unlimited Internet”. Allows the user to obtain an unlimited amount of Internet traffic on fairly favorable terms.
The option is additional for all tariffs from the “All Inclusive” series and the “Warm Welcome” tariff plan series. The presented tariffs offer consumers impressive packages of offers, starting from bonus minutes for calls and ending with access to the network. At the moment, they can be classified as the most profitable, compared to tariffs that do not have a fixed monthly subscription.
After using up the bonus minutes, the consumer receives unlimited calls, but only within the network. As for unlimited Internet traffic, everything is not entirely good here - after the bonus megabytes run out, access to the network is deactivated. This is where the “Unlimited Internet” option is needed. It is a kind of tariff modifier with which you can get unlimited mobile Internet. Provided for a fee.
Subscription fee
The size of the monthly fee here depends directly on the specific tariff. The first activation is free of charge, but each subsequent activation will cost the user 100 rubles.

- “All inclusive L” and “XL” - the daily fee here is 5 rubles.
- “All inclusive M” and the “Warm welcome M” tariff plan - the fee is 7 rubles for every 24 hours.
- “All inclusive S” and tariff plan “Warm welcome S” - daily subscription fee is 9 rubles.
It turns out that the amount of the daily payment for use depends on the tariff chosen by the subscriber. A small surcharge – and access to the network is not limited by anything.
How to connect
This service can be activated in several convenient ways:
- Using the USSD command, you need to dial * 105 * 1153 # and then send the call.

- You can also use the “Personal Account” on the operator’s website, where in the “Services” tab you need to select the option you are interested in and click on the “Connect” button.
Important! The service will operate exclusively within the “home” region. And this is despite the fact that the main bonus gigabytes on tariff plans can be spent throughout the entire Russian Federation.
Also, the option is not intended to work in a router or other gadgets other than a tablet and smartphone. The most annoying limitation of the option is the restriction on downloading torrent files.

Only some tariffs from the “Turn On!” line were awarded this award. - " Get involved! Communicate!" And " Get involved! Look», “Turn on! Look+", “Turn on! Premium" And “Turn on! Listen"(the latter is not available in all regions). True, some new tariffs have the prefix “Promotion” in their names, which hints to us that it will be possible to connect new versions of tariffs with unlimited Internet only for a certain time. Most likely, over time, unlimited mobile Internet will remain only on the most expensive tariffs. But it is not exactly...
Unlimited mobile internet on the “Turn on! Communicate” and “Turn on! Watch” tariffs
Regarding limits: unlimited mobile Internet is valid only in your home region, that is, the one where you bought the SIM card. When traveling around Russia, mobile Internet is consumed according to the terms of the tariff plan.

Video version of the publication
Mobile Internet has always been popular, from the days of EDGE to high-speed LTE. The demand for a tariff plan largely depends on free access to the network, and not on the number of minutes. Unlimited Internet Megafon without traffic limitation - whether such an option exists and how to connect to it is of concern to almost all subscribers of the operator.
The principle of almost all Megafon tariff plans is based on connecting a package of services necessary for full communication and entertainment. The subscriber has a choice - to switch to a tariff with a preferential number of minutes, messages or Internet traffic. Each package contains everything, but only in different quantities.
Megafon offers a range of tariffs with unlimited connection
Is there unlimited Internet on Megafon? This is a relevant and somewhat controversial question. The popular line of tariff plans “Turn On” offers the following conditions:
If you need to frequently watch videos or visit social networks, tariff plans are provided - “Turn on! Speak" and "Turn on! Look". The tariffs include unlimited Internet access to popular video hosting sites (YouTube, Rutube, Vimeo) and social networks (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram, Twitte).
Tariffs “Turn on! Listen" provide unlimited Internet traffic to music services - Yandex.Music, BOOM, Zvooq, Apple Music and other portals. On the Megafon website it says “and others”, so this point requires clarification. If, for example, music is indicated in VK, then doubts arise about listening to songs in Odnoklassniki.
If you need unlimited Internet for all of the listed services (messengers, social networks, video hosting, music portals), there is a tariff “Turn on! Premium".
“Warm Welcome” tariff plans M and S are designed for calls in the home region, CIS countries and Asia. At the same time, the subscriber is provided with unlimited Internet for instant messengers and social networks. Internet traffic packages of 10 and 4 GB can be used for any purpose.
The Megafon-Online tariff is calculated for active use Internet connections. At the same time, it is worth understanding that the tariff plan must be used with additional services, which form traffic packages:
- S – 6 GB per month;
- M – 13 GB per month;
- L – 22 GB per month;
- XL – unlimited traffic.
The last option is the most profitable because it provides unlimited mobile Internet.
What does the subscriber receive?
You should start with instant messengers that provide unlimited internet. Subscribers should understand that traffic is not counted only when sending text messages, emoticons and embedded stickers. Sending pictures, photos, music and videos is paid for from a limited Internet package, which is provided on each tariff in limited quantities. Important: when the main Internet package is used up, data transfer may be suspended even in unlimited services.
Social networks – the principle is almost identical. Unlimited traffic only applies to messages, viewing posts and news within the service. Listening to music and watching videos is paid for from the provided Internet package.
Video hosting – this is a little easier, because the portals are designed for watching videos. With unlimited Internet on YouTube, Rutube traffic is not taken into account. An important clarification: you must use only official and current versions of applications. You must check the “automatic update” box on your device. Otherwise, the system may not even recognize the official program if it is not updated. In this case, traffic will not be considered unlimited.
Important clarification regarding the “Internet XL” option, which is positioned by Megafon as unlimited Internet:
- the user is provided with 30 GB of traffic for a month during the daytime (from 7:00 to 1:00);
- unlimited internet is provided only at night (from 1:00 to 7:00);
- no speed limit;
- access to torrent resources is open.
Access to torrents – important point, because on most tariffs, even with a limited number of GB, there is no access to p2p traffic (torrent).
Unlimited Internet will allow you to always stay in touch
Is there full unlimited on Megafon and what tariff to choose?
Megafon still has unlimited traffic. The tariff is simply called Megafon.Unlimited. Its features are as follows:
- Package 250 minutes per month.
- There is no package of SMS messages.
- Internet traffic is not charged.
- Subscription fee – 450 rubles per month.
You won’t be able to connect to Megafon.Unlimit yourself because it’s not publicly available. The operator selects subscribers according to its own criteria.
The story of Sergei, a Megafon subscriber with nine years of experience, is as follows: “After moving to the countryside, the question arose of choosing a tariff plan with an Internet package, because in the village one can only dream of a fiber-optic connection. In the first month, a tariff with a 5 GB Internet package was chosen. The volume was not enough and I had to purchase additional traffic separately. In the second month, Sergey switched to another tariff with a traffic volume of 13 GB, which was also not enough. On the third month, a call was received on behalf of the Megafon company. The operator noted that Sergey was constantly purchasing additional traffic, so it was proposed to switch to Megafon.Unlimited. The girl clarified that she needed to make a decision now, because she wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the offer on her own. After that, Sergei didn’t change the tariff.”
What tariff should those subscribers who have not yet received such an offer choose? You need to focus on your personal needs:
- “Turn on! Write"— optimally suited for daily communication in instant messengers and social networks. 5 GB of additional traffic is enough to listen to music and watch short videos;
- “Turn on! Listen"- an ideal tariff for music lovers who prefer to listen to music online. 15 GB of additional traffic is enough for all other needs;
- “Turn on! Look"— tariff for those who regularly watch videos on YouTube, Rutube. 20 GB of traffic for all other services;
- "Internet XL" — best option for residents of rural areas. 30 GB of traffic is quite enough for everyday tasks, and you can download large files and movies at night.
A big plus unlimited traffic Megafon is considered to have no speed limit, which depends only on the subscriber’s device and network coverage area.
