The nuances of using the option and the list of countries where it works on the page
Roaming services are a convenient and practical way to use your Megafon number anywhere in the world without having to purchase a SIM card from one of the local operators. Thanks to partnership agreements between the domestic provider and a huge number of foreign telecommunications companies, each subscriber can count on the automatic registration of his phone in the guest network with the provision of the necessary range of mobile services.
Here it is important to take into account that international roaming is characterized by higher rates, which significantly increase the size of the mobile budget in comparison with the usual tariffing in your home region. At the same time, the operator has provided a number of options that allow you to optimize costs and significantly reduce the cost voice communication, messaging and Internet traffic consumption.
Features of the provision of roaming services Megafon abroad
Of course, the possibility of using Megafon roaming services abroad is directly related to the sufficient amount of funds on the subscriber's personal account and the fact that your provider has contractual agreements with foreign mobile operators. The most convenient way to get such information is through the "Roaming" section on the official Megafon website.
Make sure the basic roaming option is enabled on your phone. You can find out this important functional point in various ways:
- check the list of active options in ;
- use the functionality of the Megafon mobile application;
- contact the provider's help desk by phone 0500 ;
- consult with the manager of the nearest Megafon office to you.
Only after the balance has been replenished, the connection to subscriber number roaming services, and in the country of destination there are operators who cooperate with Megafon - you can safely go abroad without fear of being left without a connection.
Arriving at your destination, be sure to turn on the device to register it in the network of the local provider. About successful completion this procedure, a new brand icon (operator name) will be witnessed, which will take its place on the phone screen.
Important! Automatic registration of a SIM card in the guest network may be unsuccessful. In such a situation, it is necessary to manual setting registration in the corresponding menu item of the phone.
On this moment automatic registration of a Megafon SIM card in roaming with further online billing of cellular services is valid in more than 150 countries of near and far abroad. For those states that are not included in this list, you will need to activate the "Extended international roaming" service. This option is connected completely free of charge, provides for billing not online, but with a significant time delay and becomes indispensable, for example, when traveling to China, many countries of South America, Greenland.
Conditions and possibilities of international roaming communication
International roaming services from Megafon provide the subscriber with the usual list of mobile services:
- incoming outgoing voice communication;
- receiving and sending messages (SMS, MMS);
- Internet traffic, including high speed internet 3G/4G/
Thanks to the universal international mobile communication standards, the subscriber does not need to make additional adjustments and somehow set up the phone in a special way.
But let's be honest, using the Internet in roaming is quite unprofitable. If there is an urgent need to go to global network, it is best to use free Wi-Fi distribution in a hotel or cafe, although you should not forget the possibility of reducing the initial cost of mobile Internet in roaming.
Being on a trip abroad, a Megafon subscriber is not left without the support of an operator for a second. At any time, he can contact the help desk for advice or getting practical support from a specialist. The main thing here is to abandon attempts to dial the usual number 0500, and use a special number for roaming with the operator free number +7 926 111 0500 .
Prices for mobile services Megafon in international roaming differ depending on the user's country of residence. All the nuances of billing can be found in the "Roaming" section we have already indicated on the provider's resource. Here we will give only a few examples so that you can evaluate the current level of prices for roaming communications in countries popular for leisure and travel:
| A country | The cost of incoming (outgoing) calls to the Russian Federation and a conversation within the local network | Outgoing call cost to other countries | Cost of outgoing SMS | Internet traffic cost |
| Egypt | 79 rubles/minute | 129 rubles/minute | 19.99 rub. | 350r. for a daily package of 50 MB and 7.00 rubles. for each MB over the limit (no more than 10 MB) |
| Turkey | 49 rub/minute | 129 rubles/minute | 19.99 rub. | |
| Abkhazia | 33 rubles/minute | 129 rubles/minute | 13.00 rub. | 260 rub. for a daily package of 65 MB and 4.00 rubles. for each MB over the limit (no more than 10 MB) |
Please note that roaming rates for Egypt are valid for more European countries and the USA. At the same time, there are more expensive countries. For example, when traveling to Canada, you will have to pay 129 rubles. for a minute of any conversations, both inside the local cellular network, and when communicating with subscribers from Russia or any other state.
Important! If the call forwarding option is active on the phone, this will result in double billing of calls as they will be identified by the network to both incoming and outgoing voice services
Connection (deactivation) of the international roaming service Megafon
Let us remind you once again that roaming connections abroad do not require payment from the Megafon operator and can be implemented independently through the online self-service service Personal Account or its equivalent for small devices - mobile app"Megaphone" Personal account. This utility allows you to manage cellular services directly from the screen and is installed on devices under Android control, windows phone, iOS. You can download the application.
If the subscriber does not have the opportunity to use the online self-service service to activate roaming services, you can ask a specialist about this help desk or ask for help in one of Megafon's branded salons.
Roaming is disabled according to the same algorithm. Here it is important to take into account the nuance that upon returning from abroad, the phone automatically re-registers in its native network, thereby activating the tariff plan chosen by the subscriber for the home region. Taking into account the fact that the roaming service does not debit any subscription fee from the phone balance, it may not be worth turning it off so as not to forget to re-activate it the next time you travel abroad.
How to reduce the cost of Internet roaming abroad
You have already seen that standard roaming Internet traffic is not only very expensive, but also very limited in volume. Therefore, you should try to use free Wi-Fi or connect additional options provider, which will improve the conditions of access to the global network.

Before going on a long journey, do not forget about mobile communications. Some people, going on a trip, turn off their cell phones for this period of time or use foreign SIM cards, hoping to save money in this way.
But we want to assure you that this method does not bring any savings, but on the contrary, tariffs in other countries are very expensive compared to ours. In addition to using a local phone card, you will have to somehow notify loved ones about the change of number and this will not save money.
That's why let us acquaint you with the terms of use of the roaming option from Megafon operator:
- First of all, you should pay attention to the state of the personal account - the subscriber's balance must be positive.
- To connect the option, it is necessary that in the country where you are going, it was possible to receive a signal from Megaphone.
- Activate the roaming option on your number (you will learn more about this later in the article).
When leaving, check in advance for information about roaming opportunities on the official website. In roaming, all standard options included in the operator's tariffs will be available:

The subtleties of roaming in individual countries
We want to enlighten you not only about useful additional options, but also about the conditions that apply in some countries of popular destinations. Since the tariff on your room will depend on which of them you plan to go to.
Roaming in Turkey and Europe
All calls in the direction of Turkey - Russia and back will cost the subscriber 79.00 rubles / min, the same tariff will be for subscribers who decide to call on the territory of the country. Calls to other countries - 129 rubles.
When planning a visit to European countries, consider the same rates.
Internet access is provided in packages, 70 MB and cost 350 rubles. for every. Regarding messages, only outgoing messages are paid.
As you can see, roaming rates are quite high, so you should pay attention to the additional Megafon services that we wrote about above.
Roaming in Egypt
As it turned out, Egypt is more expensive for Russians in terms of mobile communications, because all calls made from its territory and within its borders, as well as to other countries of the world, will cost users 129.00 rubles. in a minute. The cost of one outgoing message from Egyptian resorts will be 25.00 rubles.
But Internet access will be limited to a package of 50 Mb per day, for which the subscriber will pay 350.00 rubles.
Roaming in North America and Oceania
For the USA, Canada and the countries of the South-Eastern part of the globe, standard rates for messages and Internet access are provided, but calling from these countries will be more expensive - 199 rubles each. in a minute.
This, of course, will not be a problem for those who connect additional options for themselves, such as "All the World" or "Around the World".
Pay attention to the cost of services with and without the option in roaming. Mobile communication from the CIS countries
I would like to discuss roaming in the countries of the former union as a separate item, since each region has its own tariffs.
| Direction | Options and their cost |
|---|---|
| Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan | Incoming and outgoing calls, as well as calls within the country - 39 rubles per minute. |
| Calls to other countries - 129 rubles / minute | |
| SMS - 13 rubles. | |
| Internet access - 110 rubles / MB. | |
| Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus | Incoming and outgoing calls, as well as calls within the country - 49 rubles per minute. |

| SMS - 19 rubles. | |
| Internet access - 490 rubles / MB. | |
| Abkhazia and Georgia | Incoming and outgoing calls, as well as calls within the country - 109 rubles per minute. |
For the CIS countries there are also special offers aimed at reducing the cost of roaming. So for Abkhazia, the MegaFon option "It's like at home in Abkhazia" operates, according to which subscribers who have connected it for 30 rubles can use preferential services.
The use of such a Megafon option as "Crimea" is also relevant now, since to this day the use of Russian mobile communications is possible only in roaming conditions. By connecting the "Crimea" option for 15 rubles a day, you can make calls and send messages at reduced rates.

Useful Megafon tariff settings for those traveling abroad
