Tariff plan 4g lite. Megaphone tariffs for modem megaphone. Tariff plan "Internet-Maxi"

From February 1, 2018, the MTS telecom operator closes the MTS SMART tariff line and automatically transfers all its subscribers to new, according to the operator himself, more favorable 4G tariffs.

MTS tariff plans "4G"

The operator traditionally explains the closure of MTS SMART tariffs by taking care of its subscribers. So, in particular, it is stated that "smart" tariffs have lost their relevance for the vast majority of subscribers.

The operator calls the increased volume of Internet traffic the main advantage of the current 4G tariffs over the closed MTS SMART tariffs. However, the related press release omits the fact that half of this traffic is available for use exclusively on the 4G LTE network.

Meanwhile, the control of consumed traffic separately in 3G and 4G communication networks, without a doubt, is an impossible task for very, very many MTS subscribers. The result of the lack of such control is already often the automatic exit of subscribers to the notorious "Open Internet" with its not so cheap intervals of Internet traffic. This state of affairs is due to the far from widespread 4G coverage of the country, as well as the banal lack of support for 4G technology in the smartphones of many Belarusian mobile subscribers.

Thus, in order to stay within the limits of its subscription fee and not pay additionally for the "Open Internet" from 1.6 to 100 rubles per month, the subscriber will inevitably have to be more careful when accessing the Internet, periodically control which network he is in. smartphone, as well as the amount of Internet traffic remaining on it. Can this be called convenience for the subscriber? Obviously, the answer to this question on the part of the subscriber cannot be positive.

However, everything can be much simpler if you simply stop taking into account the 4G traffic included in one or another 4G tariff. We are talking about setting a monthly traffic limit in a mobile device, equal to half of the total allotted volume. After all, the function of controlling mobile traffic (without separation by network type) is currently one way or another present in most mobile devices.

If you follow the last advice, it turns out that the main, according to the operator himself, advantage of its 4G tariffs, the increased volume of Internet traffic, is practically leveled. However, as it turned out, in many cases 4G traffic will not be an advantage, but rather a disadvantage.

If we also take into account the fact that on all tariffs of the 4G line there is a slightly higher monthly fee and the cost of the All Networks additional service, much more expensive on-network (on average 3 times) and calls to other networks (average by 35%), as well as there is no possibility of accumulating on-network minutes included in the tariff (additional service "SMART-box"), the expediency of switching to 4G tariffs looks very, to put it mildly, ambiguous from the subscriber's point of view.

One way or another, if the MTS SMART subscriber does not independently change his tariff before February 1 (during January, the transition to 4G tariffs is free), the operator will do it for him, according to the following rules:

• "MTS SMART light" -> "4G light";
• "MTS SMART mini" -> "4G mini";
• "MTS SMART" -> "4G maxi";
• "MTS SMART +" -> "4G mega".

An individual feature of the 4G tariffs is the ability to connect the additional service “5 favorite numbers to all networks” for 4 rubles per month, the name of which speaks for itself, as well as the additional service “4G-box”. The latter, one might say, is a truncated version of the similar SMART-box service, which is still available to MTS SMART subscribers. The fact is that the additional service "4G-box" with a cost of 1 ruble per month allows the subscriber to accumulate Internet, but does not allow to accumulate voice traffic.

The company offers subscribers of MTS SMART tariff plans to switch to any 4G tariff line for free by January 31, 2018, according to the official website.

Tariffs of the 4G line monthly provide up to 2000 minutes within the network and up to 6 GB of Internet. Compared to the MTS SMART line, 4G tariffs received larger Internet packages and the ability to make unlimited calls to 5 numbers when activating the “5 Favorite numbers to all networks” service.

Half of the traffic on all new tariffs can be spent only when you are in a 4G network. For example, on the 4G light tariff, the included traffic has doubled - from 250 to 500 MB, but 250 of them are available only in the 4G network.

On all new tariffs, monthly payments have increased compared to the old line. In addition, minutes of calls in excess of those included in the package have become more expensive. For example, at the MTS SMART tariff, a minute of conversation within the network cost 0.4 kopecks, outside the network - 6.5 kopecks. On the new 4G, a maxi minute will cost 3 kopecks (+650%) or 10 kopecks (+53.8%), respectively.

Until January 31, 2018, subscribers of MTS SMART tariff plans can switch to any 4G tariff line for free. Subscribers will also be able to choose any other tariff plan on general terms. “If you can’t choose, from February 1, services will be provided to you at the rate offered to you in an SMS message”, - writes the operator.

If 4G tariff plans are selected with the All Networks service available, it will remain connected during automatic transfer from MTS SMART tariffs to 4G tariffs.

The provision of the SMART-box service will be terminated, and the traffic accumulated within the framework of the service will be transferred in full. In addition, during February 2018, customers will be given the right to one more switch to any other tariff of this line without charging a fee.

In the last few years, a trend has developed to create lines of prepaid tariffs with a monthly fee. There, in addition to minutes and SMS, gigabytes are included. Its volume depends on the conditions of the offer, but the speed should be the highest - this is what the consumer expects. In this review, you will learn about the offers of the mobile operator Megafon, which includes high-speed 4G Internet and at what tariffs you can use it.

Review

Interested only in mobile Internet? Do you need unlimited traffic or the ability to distribute network access to other devices? A special tariff "" has been developed, the description of which is given below. This offer is marked by the service provider as basic for tablets, as well as 4G routers and modems. To connect, you must make a minimum advance payment of 201 rubles. Funds will be debited from the account, you do not need to pay for the transfer.

A little about the cost of 1 MB:

• 2.5 p. in the home region;
• 9.9 p. in other regions.

But it is much more profitable to connect a special option to this offer, which provides for a certain amount of gigabytes for a fixed monthly fee. For owners of smartphones, tablets, modems and routers, they offer different connection conditions - minimal Internet XS and S, as well as more voluminous Internet M, L, XL from Megafon.

For smartphone

4 packages of different sizes can be connected to the phone:

• XS - 70 MB for 7 rubles;
• Internet S - 3 GB for 350 rubles;
• M - 16 GB for 590 rubles;
• L - 36 GB for 890 rubles.

• 70 MB per day for 19 rubles;
• 1 GB for 150 rubles;
• 5 GB for 400 rubles.

For tablet

Traffic on a tablet will cost a little more, there are three different packages:

• Internet S - 4 GB for 400 rubles;
• M - 16 GB for 590 rubles;
• L - 36 GB for 890 rubles.

Please note that the Internet for 16/36 GB - M and L - is connected as follows: one half can be used from 7 am to 00:59 at night, the other from 01:00 to 06:59.

For modems and routers

Only two packages can be connected to a modem or router, but they are large and will allow you to access the worldwide network from several devices at once:

• L - 36 GB for 890 rubles;
• - unlimited internet for 1290 rubles.

At night, network access is not limited, but during the daytime from 07:00 to 00:59 there is a limit of 30 GB / month.

Activate extra megabytes for tablet PC, router or modem, so you don't have to worry about anything:

• 1 GB for 175 rubles;
• 5 GB for 400 rubles.

Remember to limit coverage: traffic does not work in some areas of the Far East, including Norilsk, Magadan region, Kamchatka, Chukotka, Sakhalin region and the Republic of Sakha, as well as in the Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. There, payment is made at prices for roaming: 1 MB - 9.9 rubles.

Internet for a tablet without worries

If you just have to make a purchase of a tablet computer, you can do it in Megafon partner stores or in a communication store. In this case, you will receive a free SIM card with tariff "Internet for a tablet without worries". Every month you will be connected for free 600 MB, which can be used throughout Russia. Each day you can use up to a maximum of 20 MB.

Only those who bought their tablet in Megafon partner stores can get a SIM card. You can't use it on devices other than a tablet.

600 MB for a modern user is a ridiculous figure, but this offer is beneficial primarily due to the activation of additional options. The main one will allow you to spend 300 MB daily for 30 r / day. Thus, you will have to pay about 900 rubles per month.

Suitable for those who do not use the mobile network on the tablet every day. If you haven't used up everything, the rest is burned.

Additional mobile traffic

Mobile traffic can be used on devices of various types, including smartphones. High-speed Internet for the phone is available within line "All inclusive".

True, here one package of traffic will not do. Whether you like it or not, you will have to pay both minutes and SMS. But you are guaranteed a high 4G speed, if the technical characteristics of the device and its settings allow.

This material provides a cost calculation for Moscow and the Moscow region. In other areas, prices will vary, check the official website for details.

How much traffic is available on these offers?

1. : subscription fee - 300 rubles. per month, this is the cheapest option for 1 GB. In the S + extension, you can use 5 GB, it will cost 400 rubles. With one condition: 1 GB can be spent during the day, the rest - only at night. This is stipulated in the terms of the promotion.
2. : subscription fee - price 500 rubles, 3 GB. In the M+ extension for 600 rubles. you will receive 10 GB, which can be spent both at home and on trips around Russia. 3 GB will be available at any time, 7 GB at night.
3. : subscription fee - 900 rubles, 7 GB. 1100 m. to numbers of other operators, 1000 SMS messages to any subscribers.
4. XL: payment 1400 R/m, 10 GB.
5. : monthly write-off is 2700 rubles. 20 GB.

Each of us got into a situation where mobile traffic ended at the most inopportune moment. Megafon customers can automatically renew it.

"Auto-renewal" is activated free of charge when buying a SIM card or switching to a plan. 30 r. – cost 200 MB. Within 30 days it is available 15 times, that is, it will allow you to use an additional 1 gigabyte.

Coverage

Despite the fact that Megafon has created one of the best coverage areas in the country, 4G does not work in all regions of the Russian Federation. When going on a trip, check the maximum Internet speed in the region, otherwise the purchase of a 4G router will turn out to be meaningless.

The technical characteristics of your smartphone play a big role.

Traveling

Megafon offers its subscribers to save on communication services while traveling. If you are going on a business trip or on vacation in Russia, then take a look at one of the services for advantageous access to the worldwide network:

1. – regardless of your distance from home, the prices will be exactly the same. 30 r. for connection and 15 p. per day per use.
2. « Internet in Russia"- this option is designed specifically for those who use Internet options such as Internet XS, S and others. When this service is activated, the conditions will apply not only in the home region, but also when traveling. 30 r. for connection and subscription fee 6 or 12 rubles. per day depending on the package.
3. « gigabyte on the go» - on the road you can buy 1 GB of traffic for 300 rubles.

1. « Vacation-Online"- the subscriber is not provided, but the connection is paid - 30 rubles. For each MB you will need to pay 15 rubles.
2. « world online"- 600 rubles. per day for unlimited internet abroad.

Conclusion

In this material, we reviewed the tariff plans and options from the Megafon operator, in which a high-speed Internet connection is available, provided a detailed description of the main characteristics. 4G/LTE is available on all of them. The price spread allows subscribers with different incomes and needs to access the worldwide network to use them. There is a choice of tariffs from the cheapest, for example, Internet S, to quite expensive ones - Internet L and XL, with advanced features. In addition, when you travel, you can continue to use the Internet on favorable terms with special options from the operator.

All MTS tariffs for 4G Internet are divided into those intended for mobile phones and those intended for other devices, primarily tablets. Both types have their own characteristics. The cost of MTS 4 G LTE Internet tariffs also differs depending on the device, and therefore both types must be considered in detail.

Mobile phone tariffs

For 2019, MTS Internet 4 Ji tariffs consist of 4 main offers. Some of them have unlimited traffic at night and limited during the day, and some are completely unlimited. Three tariffs are combined into the Smart group.

1. tariff
2. My smart.
3. Smart
4. Our Smart

The latter is the most interesting and is positioned by MTS as an unlimited MTS 4 G LTE tariff, in fact this is not entirely true. You are limited to spending no more than 7 GB per month, but such popular services as: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Apple Music, Google Music, Yandex Music, Youtube, Zvooq, App Store, World of Tanks and many others. The cost of the tariff is 500 rubles per month

In addition to these tariffs, the Internet is also provided by others. The most interesting among them is "Smart Top", which, with a subscription fee of 1950 rubles, will provide you with 20 GB of Internet throughout Russia.

In order to connect a single Internet to all your devices (up to 5 pieces), you can use the service of the same name. MTS "Single Internet" allows you to pay for traffic for several smartphones and / or other gadgets at once.

To connect a new device, you need to send it an invitation through the personal account of your main gadget and confirm it. The cost of the service is 100 rubles per month.

Tariff plans for other devices

MTS has a separate offer for tablets. This is a variant of "MTS Connect-4", which is built on the basis of the "Internet 4 Mbit / s" service. As it is easy to understand, the main feature is the stream speed up to 4 Mbps.

This MTS 4G tariff plan is designed for tablets and modems. It operates throughout Russia. Internet unlimited.

Another offer is the MTS Tablet tariff. It includes traffic up to 10 GB. At the same time, you can choose the direction - outgoing or incoming - which will not waste traffic. That is, you can either download files unlimitedly, or upload them to the network. What exactly is needed more, everyone decides for himself.

But MTS offers also cover other devices. So, "Smart device" is an option designed for smart watches, alarms, as well as smart home technology. It will cost 490 rubles a year, for which 300 MB of Internet will be received.

What tariffs support 4G?

So how do you determine which plans support 4G? Very easy. They all support them. The MTS operator provides a connection to the 4G network to all its subscribers without exception.

So 4G is on MTS tariffs, but whether you can use it depends on your device. Not all even modern smartphones support this standard, especially from the range of budget models. If you are not sure if your device allows you to use this level of network, check the specifications of the device.

The same as how much 4G Internet MTS costs depends on the tariff plan and the main ones have already been described in detail above. Given the network bandwidth of this level, it is recommended to use the unlimited option. Modern smartphones and other devices have many applications that fully reveal themselves only when connected to the network constantly. Moreover, the price of 4G from MTS often includes an additional “Online” option that allows you to use social networks and instant messengers without restrictions.
