All users of modern smartphones have their own needs for the mobile Internet. 1 GB of traffic for a month is enough for someone with a margin, and 30 GB is not enough for someone. It all depends on the scenario of using the mobile device and many other factors, including the presence of wired Internet at home or in the office with no restrictions. At the end of 2016, the Russians had the opportunity to purchase one of the tariff plans from Russian mobile operators, which has 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, gradually all mobile operators are launching new services that allow at least partially regaining unlimited access to the Internet. As is known, most of Internet traffic on a smartphone goes to watching video content, that is, videos.
Not so long ago, the MegaFon operator launched unlimited mobile Internet, which costs only 6 rubles per day. With it, you can get unlimited Internet traffic for the three most popular video services. Among those were YouTube, Rutube and Vimeo. All of them are incredibly popular among the inhabitants of Russia, so such a generous offer from the Russian mobile operator for many Russians can be extremely profitable. It is also worth noting that this service is valid throughout the country, which can be extremely important during travel 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 activate the desired service, which allows them to receive unlimited access to the Internet when using certain services.
For the service "Video +", 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, it can be easily connected or disconnected. It is available to owners of tariff plans "Speak", "Communicate", "Look" and "Warm welcome M", to which anyone can switch for free. If you use unlimited Internet to watch videos for the whole month, then you will have to pay only 180 rubles, that is, absolutely a small amount money. At the same time, you can spend at least 500 GB of Internet traffic on watching videos.
All prices indicated in the article are relevant for the Moscow and Moscow region region. In other regions of Russia, they will be slightly different, and, as a rule, in a smaller direction.

Telecommunications company Megafon is actively promoting its Iota 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 that Megafon began to lose to its main competitors in terms of Internet services without limitation. The stability of the provider's position was also shaken by the sending to the archive from 02/01/2017 of the "Unlimited Internet" service, which is no longer available for new connections. Nevertheless, Megafon tariffs are still able to provide users with large traffic packages and even unlimited nightly Internet.
Megafon "MegaUnlimit" service
This service is intended for a smartphone or tablet that works with one of the tariff plans of the All Inclusive or Warm Welcome family. Functionally, the MegaUnlimited 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 us consider in more detail 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 rubles. per day;
- "Warm welcome" M, "All inclusive" M - 7.0 p. per day;
- "All inclusive" X and XL - 5.0 rubles. per day;
- "All inclusive" VIP - 0.0 rub. per day.
As we see subscription fee for unlimited Internet on the phone is more than acceptable, and for owners of the "All Inclusive" VIP tariff, additional payments are not provided at all.
Among the disadvantages of the "MegaUnlimited" option are:
- a critical drop in Internet speed when installing a SIM card in a modem or router;
- inability to use torrent trackers;
- limiting the action of the option by the home region;
- the lack of the possibility of distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi.
But, as mentioned at the very beginning of the review, the MegaUnlimited option has acquired an archived status and is now unavailable for new connections. It was performed using the USSD command * 105 * 1153 # , was free for the first use of the service and cost the subscriber 100 rubles. upon reactivation.
Internet from Megafon
Now let's move on to a discussion of those Internet options that are available to users now. There are not so many of them, and they all have limited traffic packages for phones and tablets. Megafon provided some exception only for modems and routers. If the user has exhausted the traffic limit provided by the tariff ahead of time, it is possible to use the Extend Speed service with the required additional volume (70 MB, 1 GB, 5 GB). To timely control the rest of the traffic, a USSD request is applied * 558 # .
For most options, there is a limitation that provides for the division of the allocated traffic in half between night and daytime.
Half of the volume of Internet traffic 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 subscription fee;
- 6 months - 20% of the subscription fee;
- 12 months - 30% of the subscription fee.
So let's take a closer look at Megafon's Internet offerings.

Today's consumers need a lot of options - they need minutes for voice calls, SMS packages and gigabytes of network access. To this end, operators are creating new package tariffs and ancillary services containing a huge number of options. If we consider offers with the name "Unlimited Internet" and "Internet XL" from Megafon, then we have typical services for consumers of mobile traffic.
Today's article will talk about how to connect unlimited Internet to Megafon, about 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 fact, there is no such option. This service has a completely different name, namely “Unlimited Internet”. Allows the user to acquire 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" series of tariff plans. 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 fee.
After spending bonus minutes, the consumer receives unlimited calls, but only within the network. As for unlimited Internet traffic, not everything is fine 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 amount of the subscription fee here depends directly on the specific tariff. The first activation is not charged, but each subsequent activation will cost the user 100 rubles.
The subscription fee for using the service will be as follows:
- Tariffs "All Inclusive VIP" - there is no subscription fee.
- "All inclusive L" and "XL" - the daily fee here is 5 rubles.
- "All inclusive M" and tariff plan "Warm welcome M" - the fee is 7 rubles for every 24 hours.
- "All Inclusive S" and tariff plan "Warm welcome S" - the daily subscription fee is 9 rubles.
So it turns out that the amount of the daily payment for the use depends on the tariff chosen by the subscriber. A small surcharge - and access to the network is not limited to anything.
How to connect
The presented service can be activated in several convenient ways:
- Using the USSD command - you need to dial * 105 * 1153 #, then send a call.
- With the help of SMS notification - you need to send an empty message to the service number 05001153.
- 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 on the territory of the entire Russian Federation.
Also, the option is not designed to work in a router and other gadgets, except for a tablet and smartphone. The most annoying restriction on the option is the restriction on downloading torrent files.

Following the fashion, the mobile operator Megafon decided, following MTS and Beeline, to introduce unlimited mobile Internet. It was awarded only to some tariffs of the "Turn on!" - " Turn on! Chat!" And " Turn on! Look», “Turn on! Look+», “Turn on! Premium» And “Turn on! Listen"(the latter is not available in all regions). True, some new tariffs in the title received the prefix "Promotion", 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 tariffs "Turn on! Chat" and "Turn on! Look"
On the account of limits: unlimited mobile Internet is valid only in the home region, that is, where you bought the SIM card. When traveling in Russia, mobile Internet is consumed according to the terms of the tariff plan. Transfer via file-sharing network protocols (eDonkey; DirectConnect (DC++) and BitTorrent) is also closed. Also, the SIM card cannot be used in modems and routers.
From October 15, 2018 unlimited mobile Internet operates throughout Russia. You can read more about this.
Pretty interesting, but that's where the limitations end. More in detailed description there is no tariff - including restrictions on the distribution of mobile Internet via usb, wifi and bluetooth. Unlimited Internet is available immediately when you connect or switch to the tariff. Subscribers who already use the above tariffs of the "Turn on!" can connect themselves to unlimited mobile Internet on their own.

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 restrictions - is there such an option and how to connect to it, worries 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-fledged communication and entertainment. The subscriber has a choice - to switch to a tariff with a predominant number of minutes, messages or Internet traffic. Each package provides everything, but only in different quantities.
Megafon offers a range of tariffs with unlimited connection
Is there unlimited Internet on Megafon - a topical and somewhat controversial issue. 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 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 the moment needs to be clarified. If, for example, music is indicated in VK, then there are doubts about listening to songs in Odnoklassniki.
If you need unlimited Internet for all the listed services (messengers, social networks, video hosting, music portals), there is a tariff “Turn on! Premium.
Tariff plans "Warm welcome" 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.
Tariff "Megaphone-online" is calculated for active use internet connections. At the same time, it should be understood that the tariff plan must be used with additional services that form traffic packages:
- S - 6 GB per month;
- M - 13 GB per month;
- L - 22 GB per month;
- XL - traffic is unlimited.
The last option is the most profitable, because it provides unlimited mobile Internet.
What does the subscriber get
You should start with instant messengers, which provide unlimited Internet. Subscribers should understand that traffic is not taken into account only when sending text messages, emoticons and embedded stickers. Transferring pictures, photos, music and videos is paid from a limited Internet package, which is provided on each tariff in a limited amount. 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 applies only to messages, viewing records and news within the service. Listening to music and watching videos is paid from the provided Internet package.
Video hostings - 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 need to use only official and up-to-date versions of applications. In the device, you need to check the box "automatic updates". 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 on the "Internet XL" option, which is positioned by Megafon as unlimited Internet:
- the user is provided with 30 GB of traffic per month during the daytime (from 7:00 to 1:00);
- unlimited internet is available 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 amount of GB, access to p2p traffic (torrent) is not available.
Unlimited Internet allows you to always stay in touch
Is there a full unlimited on Megafon and which 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.
- The SMS package is missing.
- Internet traffic is not charged.
- Subscription fee - 450 rubles per month.
Connect yourself to Megafon. Unlimited will not work, because it is not in the public domain. The operator selects subscribers according to its own criteria.
The story of Megafon subscriber Sergey 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 buy 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 came in on behalf of Megafon. The operator noted that Sergey constantly buys more traffic, so it was proposed to switch to Megafon. Unlimited. The girl clarified that she needed to make a decision now, because she would not be able to take advantage of the offer on her own. After Sergei did not change the tariff.
What tariff to choose for those subscribers who have not received such an offer yet? It is necessary to focus on personal needs:
- “Turn on! Write"— optimally suited for daily communication in instant messengers and social networks. 5 GB of additional traffic is enough for listening to music and watching short videos;
- “Turn on! Listen" is 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"- a tariff for those who regularly watch videos on YouTube, Rutube. 20 GB of traffic for all other services;
- "Internet XL" — best option for rural residents. 30 GB of traffic is enough for everyday tasks, and you can download large files and movies at night.
Big plus unlimited traffic Megafon considers the absence of a speed limit, which depends only on the subscriber's device and the network coverage area.
