How to enable forwarding to another Megafon number

One of the most current options offered by operators is call forwarding. Sometimes there are situations in which the subscriber is left without communication (for example, the battery is dead, or the smartphone is broken) and may miss urgent information. In order to keep abreast of all the news, you can transfer the call to another number. In this case, a call to the “trusted representative” of the Megafon client will save the situation. Forwarding can be done to both a cell phone and a home phone.

Connecting forwarding in your personal account is free.
If, to connect the option, a Megafon client resorts to the help of a specialist, the cost of the service is 30 rubles. The cost of a call to a forwarded number is calculated according to the tariff. There are rarely exceptions and this line is not specified in the tariff. Then the price per minute is 3 rubles.

You need to be especially careful when traveling abroad. It is necessary to study in detail the conditions for forwarding when roaming is active on a number. You can clarify the final cost of the service for all current tariffs at the customer service by calling 0500 or at one of the operator’s offices.

Call forwarding on MegaFon

The essence of the Megafon forwarding service is to transfer an incoming call from number 1 to number 2, which can be performed either unconditionally or following certain conditions. The following types of redirection can be distinguished:

1. Busy forwarding – if number 1 is busy, automatic forwarding is performed to number 2. This option is indispensable for business people: not a single client call will be lost. Your partner can always answer the call instead of you.
2. Forwarding on no answer - only works in situations when a working phone does not answer. The call is forwarded to the desired number. If the phone is turned off, forwarding will not be performed.
3. Forwarding due to unavailability - if your battery runs out or the call comes while you are on the subway, the call of a client who cannot be lost will be forwarded to your colleague who is in the office with a charged phone.
4. Unconditional forwarding - all calls from phone 1, including when it is turned on and accessible to the network, are forwarded to phone 2.

The Megafon forwarding service is available for installation on any number of a Russian operator, both mobile and landline. The exception is numbers starting with +7809 and +7803. There is no way to forward already forwarded calls, or to install the service to a foreign operator’s number. All forwarding numbers must be written in international format (via +7).

It is possible to redirect calls to voicemail, for which you should register the number +79262000222 (Moscow region). If you live in another region, the telephone number to enable voicemail can be easily found on the operator’s website or by contacting the help desk. does not work on calls forwarded to other numbers. Standard beeps are used.

When setting up the service, you do not need to pay either a subscription fee or a connection fee. Only the cost of a call to the number registered for forwarding is paid. Everything here is strictly individual and depends directly on the tariff you use. So, when forwarding to an MTS number, you will be charged for a call to MTS at the rates of your tariff.

You should not abuse forwarding while staying abroad. The cost of the unconditional type of forwarding in roaming is the same as for calls in Russia, and with conditional forwarding, double charging will be applied: both incoming and outgoing calls are charged.

Types of forwarding

This type of service is divided into several types:

• Forwarding all types of incoming calls (without any exceptions).
• Redirect an incoming call if the subscriber does not answer for a long time.
• Automatic call forwarding if the subscriber is outside the network coverage area.
• If a subscriber is talking to another subscriber, then call forwarding is automatically enabled.

Important! The call forwarding service to international numbers is available only to corporate clients or VIP clients.

The first type of call forwarding is an unconditional type, while the second, third and fourth are conditional. All three types of conditional call forwarding can be combined simultaneously. But combining conditional and unconditional forwarding is prohibited.

Price

If the rules of your tariff plan do not specify the cost of this service, then payment for it will be made as follows:

• Redirection to mobile and landline numbers in the Home region will cost 2.5 rubles per minute of conversation.
• If the call is redirected to mobile or landline numbers in other areas, then the cost of the service is the same as the cost of a minute of dialogue in your tariff plan.
• Forwarding to any international numbers is paid at the cost of a minute of dialogue with foreign subscribers (specified in your tariff plan agreement).

The necessary settings can be made using the above methods. Only the combinations of numbers differ:

• **21*phone number# — forward all calls;
• **61*number# — redirect the call if there is no answer within 30 seconds. To determine the time interval yourself, dial **61*[number to which calls will be received]**[waiting time for answer]#. Please note that the time can only be changed downwards - from the default 30 seconds to 5 seconds. (25, 20, etc.);

The operator’s client also has the opportunity to check which types of functions are activated:

• *#21# - unconditional;
• *#61# - when there is no answer;
• *#62# - if the phone is unavailable;
• *#67# - when the line is busy.

In addition to the above commands, you can use your Personal Account.

How to set up Megafon forwarding

You can redirect all calls, as well as individual types of them. To do this, there is a list of codes that can be used to forward a certain category of calls:

To make settings by call type, use the combination **forwarding code*phone number*call type#.

The forwarding code remains the same: 21, 61, 67 and 62.

The call will not be forwarded if you dial the phone number in the wrong format. To forward calls to a landline phone, you must specify the area code and the number itself, for example. To route a call to numbers of other mobile operators, you need to specify the network code of this operator instead of the area code.

When forwarding to Megafon subscribers, you must indicate the full federal number in the format.

Price

When setting up forwarding, neither a subscription fee nor a connection fee is paid. Only calls to the number assigned to the call forwarding service are charged. Everything here is personal and depends on the applicable tariff. So, with the forwarding service to an MTS phone, money will be charged for a call to MTS according to your tariff.

It is better not to use this service abroad. If forwarded abroad, double tariff will be applied for all calls. And the absolute forwarding service will be charged at the established rates.

Checking which redirects are already connected

You can use short commands to send from your phone. Each type of redirection is checked separately:

• *#21# – unconditional;
• *#61# – if no answer;
• *#62# – if unavailable;
• *#67# – if busy.

To find out if the service is activated, go to your personal account. There, the description will indicate the number for transferring the call and the condition.

You can also call the operator at 0500 and ask him about the connected service and its parameters.

Rules for using forwarding

• You can set up call forwarding only to mobile and landline numbers in the Russian Federation.

If you need to set up unconditional redirection, then just dial the combination **21*ХХХХХХХХХХ# , and if there is no answer at the time of conversation, then you can use **67*ХХХХХХХХХХ# . If the subscriber cannot answer within a certain period of time, then you can dial **61*ХХХХХХХХХХ# .

What is call forwarding on your phone?

A very convenient service, due to the capabilities of the operator and the telephone network: it allows you to redirect a call to the subscriber to any other specified number in your phone settings. Some settings depend on the manufacturer of the cellular equipment used. Let's look at the main points on how to correctly forward to a mobile or landline phone on Megafon.

Forwarding SMS to Megafon

At the moment, the operator does not include this service in the package, although it still existed for a certain amount of time, called SMS+ . A primitive forwarding service can be installed in any of the following ways:

• By dialing the short support number
• Ask for help at any MegaFon branch (salon).
• Configure on your phone using USSD commands.

To activate the first two services, just contact the company’s employees or call the toll-free hotline, where they will certainly help you.

To set up forwarding yourself, the third method is suitable. We go to the settings section through the main menu section - “Forwarding setup menu” - select the appropriate option - enter the connection number. After this, you need to wait for some time while the system installs the selected parameters. The names of sections may differ slightly from those proposed.

To make your work easier, below is a list of special commands:

• **67*phone number#—busy call forwarding
• **61*phone number#—forwarding due to lack of response (you can specify the waiting time for a response, then the request will be like this:
• **61*phone number*time# - time can be specified from 5 to 30 seconds, step 5 seconds);
• **62*phone number#—forwarding due to unavailability;
• **21*phone number#—unconditional forwarding.

You can also connect several types of forwarding at once, installing one of the services for each number. When setting the last, fourth option, the previously selected settings are not saved. The second number is not connected to any tariff; it is available 24 hours a day, monitoring incoming calls from other numbers.

Price

For using this function, the telecom operator charges a fee of 15 rubles (the fee is charged regardless of the date and month). In the future, funds will be withdrawn at the beginning of each month.

Money will not be withdrawn for translated SMS messages; they are charged as incoming messages and are paid according to the rules specified in the terms of the current tariff plan.

Connecting the service

If you do not know how to forward SMS on a megaphone, then follow the further instructions.

To connect to this service, you need to send an SMS message to the number +79272909090 with the text “fw 79ХХХХХХХХХ” (in the text, instead of crosses, the telephone number of the subscriber to whom the SMS will be forwarded is indicated).

Did you know? By 1999, about 100,000 people were already considered Megafon subscribers.

You can connect to this service by calling 0500 (if calling from a mobile phone) or 507-7777 (if calling from a landline).

Shutdown

If the connection was made via SMS, then you must also disconnect via SMS. To do this, an SMS is sent to the subscriber +79272909090 with the text “nofw” .

If the service connection was connected via a telephone call, then you need to dial the same number through which the connection was made and disable the service.

In any unclear situations, you can always consult the support service. To clarify various misunderstandings, you can send a text to number 0500, or call: 88005000500 (toll-free within the Russian Federation), +79261110500 (toll-free from anywhere in the world).
