Mobile users sometimes need to get detailed information about what actions were performed on a number. For example, to check why money was written off from the balance, or to find out which numbers the child called, etc. For these and similar purposes, “Detailing” (calls and SMS, as well as Internet connections) can be used. With its help, you can easily satisfy your curiosity and answer any questions related to communication services on a specific number. In this article we will talk in detail about exactly what information this service allows you to obtain, as well as how SMS details (Megafon) can be generated.
Receiving details through your personal account
Everyone knows that the operator offers a convenient self-service system - a personal account, where you can not only manage your tariff plan and services, but also order details. The first impulse is to look for messages there. We'll disappoint you, but you won't find them in your personal account. The details will show you the time of sending, the addressee number and the cost. You won't get any other information. If the goal is only to establish the fact of correspondence and the addressee’s number, then you can use this method.
Another impulse in searching for the text of the message is to call or write to the operator at the support service. There you will also receive a refusal. On the website , Megafon claims that it does not store message texts and, accordingly, cannot provide such information. This is hard to believe, but there is no point in arguing.
Megafon's detailing methods
Cellular users from Megafon have access to details by phone number:
- One-time;
- Monthly;
- Periodic.
Megafon clients themselves choose the method of checking their balance that is most convenient for them.
One-time detailing
When ordering one-time details on Megafon, the cellular user is provided with detailed information about incoming and outgoing calls, CMC, Internet traffic for a given period of time. The summary table will contain the date, time of calls made and received, CMC. Here clients can view which numbers were involved in transactions, and what amounts were written off for their execution.
Cellular users can order one-time details from their smartphones and desktop computers. You can receive a report yourself only for a period not exceeding six months. If you need to view information for a longer period of time, you will need to appear in person at one of the operator’s salons. His staff will print a report for the required time range.
The cost of a one-time report depends on the period for which it is provided:
- For receiving information for the last day, the fee will be 3 rubles;

Eventually
Regardless of what goals are pursued by the subscriber when looking for opportunities to view other people’s correspondence and monitor the phone, it is worth remembering that SMS detailing remains legal, provided that it is done by the client himself. All services for collecting and searching for such information can be divided into legal and illegal methods.
Legal ways | A comment | Illegal methods | Comments |
MegaFon Radar | A legal way to track the situation of loved ones, subject to obtaining their consent | Contacting intermediaries for information about SMS | Illegal, punishable by the Criminal Code for both parties, does not bring the desired result, because scammers are most often behind the service. |
Account details | Only if the information is requested by the owner of the phone. | Access to the user’s Personal Account and UMS | Permissible only with the consent of the subscriber, in other cases Art. 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. |

How to get a Printout of someone else's SMS?
There are several options for receiving someone else's correspondence. Almost all of them are very problematic and complex. For example, install spyware on the victim’s phone, which will intercept the phone’s activity and send it to you. However, it should be noted that installing and configuring such spyware requires serious knowledge of advanced technologies. Not the easiest way to read other people's SMS.
The easiest way is to gain physical access to the victim's phone (assuming there is no lock code on the device) and read those messages that have not yet been deleted from the phone. You will no longer be able to read deleted SMS messages this way. We will please you: it is still possible to read the text of deleted SMS from your phone.
How to register in your Megafon personal account
Megafon subscribers can create a personal account on the portal https://lk.megafon.ru/login/. The procedure is simple and takes no more than 3-5 minutes, since each subscriber of the company automatically receives access to their account. Therefore, a preliminary office visit and verification are not required.
- The login will be your cell phone number. To receive the password, dial *105*00# on your phone and press call.
- The personal account page will open - the second name is Service Guide, where you can familiarize yourself with the functionality and perform operations.
One-time detailing
This type of decryption by number is carried out via the Internet or directly at the company’s office. Delivery by courier is possible (the cost of such a service should be checked with the customer service in your region). The cost of an order for one day is 3 rubles. The period for which information is available is determined by the method of ordering details. If you use the “Personal Account”, you can view data for the last six months. In the company's office - for three years. In neither case is the Megafon SMS number detailed. If you wish to receive a printout at the mobile operator’s office, the client will be given a document containing data for the selected period. When ordering online, details will be sent by email specified by the client. It is also possible to independently determine the format of the data file (.exl, .pdf, html) and “pack” it into an archive.
Mobile application Megafon
Since 2014, the personal account has also become available to users on mobile devices. The application is designed for gadgets based on:
- Android;
- iOS;
- Windows Phone.
You can download the mobile service for free from the App Store, Google Play or Windows Store. Thanks to the application, you can manage services directly from the screen of your gadget.
The following options are available to clients in the application:
- changing the tariff plan;
- connection/disconnection of services;
- obtaining information related to room service;
- control over balance.
The service helps clients save time and helps operators optimize their work with subscribers.
For Megafon subscribers, remembering an old password or getting a new one is not difficult. To do this, they need to dial a simple USSD command, send an SMS request or contact the operator.
Preface
I have always been sure that mobile operators store sent/received SMS for some time. But this confidence was theoretical. Today I was convinced of this once again. At first, when I came across the following, my reaction was “what the fuck?!” But then, while I was writing the text, I calmed down a little and realized that someone would need the service. You accidentally deleted the SMS on your phone. Maybe there was important business information, maybe it was an SMS that is dear to you as a memory. Or maybe you have your wife’s phone in front of you and you’re wondering what SMS messages she deleted from it? Do you think that the text cannot be restored? But no, you can read what has been erased. To do this you need the following:
- Access to a cell phone with the required SIM card
- Previously connected UMS service
- 5 minutes time
UMS interface with open SMS messages sent not from the service
How it works
I came across this completely by accident. On December 11 last year, when I first read about UMS, I registered in this service just for fun. I played a little with Flash SMS and forgot about it. Today there was a need to send Flash again, I went into the ums interface and... saw ALL my SMS correspondence from December 2012 to today. And from that time on, I sent and received messages only on the phone. Since that moment I have had 3 devices, a lot of firmware, i.e. It's not a matter of some service installed in the OS. Message to UMS
And a few more
How to connect/disconnect?
You can activate and deactivate the service through the service guide or by calling the Call Center. The service is called UMS (Changing the set of services->Popular services->UMS). It gets stuck when registering in the UMS web interface.

conclusions
On the one hand, the service is useful. With its help, all your messages are collected in one, fairly convenient interface. You can freely change phones, make wipes (hello droid drivers!), make firmware restories. All your SMS will not be lost. On the other hand, I was always sure that if I deleted an SMS from the device, only competent authorities could read it (and they are not interested in the spam that I receive). Plus, sensitive information is stored there - SMS from a mobile bank indicating the account balance. In general, it's up to you. I'll turn off this service out of harm's way.

On the verge of a foul
If you resort to decisive action in search of the necessary information, then a huge number of opportunities open up for the user, and there is no need to order a printout of SMS from Megafon. You won’t be able to track past correspondence and calls, but you can prepare for the future. Among the available means by which you can monitor your wife or husband’s phones are:
- Sberbank Radar. When the target is the subscriber's location, it is enough to quietly set this setting. With the service, you can not only find out where the user is at a particular moment, but also set up alerts about when he leaves, or vice versa, enters a certain perimeter.
- If you need more extensive information, there are no options other than installing separate software on the device.
Tracking programs allow you to make a subscriber's phone a mirror copy of the one he plans to monitor. In real time, it will be possible to track calls and SMS, user movements, read correspondence in instant messengers, and in the maximum versions you can optionally connect the image from the main and front cameras and turn on the speaker to listen to what is happening where the subscriber is.
Other opportunities for Megafon subscribers: sending SMS from someone else’s number
Substitution of a number for sending a text message is available if the subscriber has a smartphone. After all, to do this you will need to install a special program file via the accessible Internet.
It is important to remember that such actions with the software can cause irreparable errors that can cause the mobile device to stop working altogether. Or another option, when the functionality of the SIM card will be under the influence of third parties. Then the subscriber number may become involved in illegal transactions. Therefore, it is important to use only those programs that have received recognition from users and have positive characteristics as a result of their work.
Is there access to the text?
Despite the name of the services described, detailed SMS messages from Megafon do not provide access to the texts of correspondence. The operator explains this by saying that such information is not collected or stored, and therefore cannot be presented. This response from the company forces users to go deeper and deeper into the search for how to read SMS from someone else’s phone, recover deleted messages, etc.
In response to requests from information-hungry clients via the Internet, the search engine produces hundreds of sites that offer to order a report. The consumer is promised that after processing the request, he will have the entire history of SMS messages with their full text and time of transmission, even if they have been deleted, and to order, the services require 100% prepayment.
As a result, the user does not receive any response, or is provided with false data, and money is wasted. Often, after receiving an advance payment, scammers begin to blackmail the gullible customer by informing the victim of surveillance about their mistrust and plans to interfere with their personal life. Needless to say, many continue to pay using the scammers’ details on an ongoing basis.
Important! Interference with personal life and violation of the confidentiality of correspondence and telephone conversations, including access to the content of SMS, is a criminal offense and can be punishable by fines of up to 300 thousand rubles, for those who collect and transmit this information, and for those who orders it.

Reading a message on your phone
The important thing is that reading and sending messages as a service was not immediately approved by the management of mobile operators. However, the GSM standard system already at the beginning of its work implied text blocks. But, as with everything ingenious, the purpose and popularity of virtual messages were revealed after their introduction into life. Now everyone exchanges them, because it is not only a convenient means of communication, but also profitable. This is especially noted by those who communicate with other regions. Even calls are less popular there. The phone notifies you of the arrival of a message with a sound signal.
UMS office
