Megafon roaming abroad: tariffs for international calls. Roaming megaphone in Russia

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 MegaFon cellular networks 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), cellular operators have so far only canceled the terms. 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 mode 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 clear - roaming prices are still quite 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 .

  • “Pay for me” service. Details at the link https://megafon.ru/services/account/zaplati_za_menya/zaplati_za_menya.html#price.

When leaving your home network, do not forget to activate roaming or special services that will help you significantly reduce costs when traveling in your home country or abroad. A subscriber traveling outside his region does not need to connect to intranet or national roaming. Mobile operator Megafon has a unified network operating throughout the Russian Federation. But you should definitely activate special services in order to save on calls in other regions of the country. Without these options, all your calls and SMS messages will be charged as in roaming. The operator offers to connect to the “Be at Home” or “All Russia” services when traveling around your home country.

But if you travel abroad, simple options are no longer enough and you need to connect international roaming. Not every country in the world activates the service provision procedure automatically. There are cases when a preliminary connection to “Extended International Roaming” is necessary. In this article we will talk about how to activate roaming on a Megafon SIM card, as well as special services to reduce communication costs on domestic and foreign trips.

How to activate roaming on a megaphone for traveling around the world

As you already understand, Megafon services are provided throughout the Russian Federation, therefore, when leaving your home region, you do not need to activate roaming.

There is also practically no need to connect international roaming - it operates automatically in 152 countries around the world. Unless you are going to a country not included in this list. In this case, you will need to independently activate the “Extended International Roaming” service.
Go to and log in to the Megafon website.


After that, go to the “Roaming” section and check out the available services.
