The amount and timing, as well as other features of the provision of the service, will be discussed in detail below. Also, it is worth noting that this function is available for activation to all subscribers with a negative balance.
Characteristics of the “Promised Payment”

Subscribers have access to a loan in the amount of 50 rubles, 100 rubles. or 300r.

Non-cash payments for legal entities
Prepayment at MegaFon involves pre-replenishing your account before you start using communication services. No money - no access to services. The main advantage of this payment system is that you cannot spend more than you have on your balance. That is why prepayment is widely in demand among MegaFon subscribers - individuals and legal entities.
Also in the network of this operator there is a credit payment system. It involves making payments for communication services based on the results of the reporting period - for this MegaFon automatically issues an invoice to the client. Based on this account, a payment is made, the money is credited to the account specified in the payment slip. The disadvantage of the credit system is that you can spend too much, since there is simply no traditional balance. In order to issue an invoice for prepayment on MegaFon, when using the advance system, it is necessary to generate a document on the basis of which the payment will be made.
It states:
- Bank details for payment;
- Name of the service provider (in our case it is PJSC MegaFon);
- Issued invoice number with date;
- L/s of the payer with his name;
- Amount for communication services;
- Signature and seal of a MegaFon employee.
MegaFon allows you to order an invoice for prepayment through its official website. For this purpose, there is an order form on it. It must contain the following information:
- Name of the payer - for example, Horns and Hooves LLC;
- Personal account number - specify it in the contract for the provision of communication services concluded with MegaFon;
- Payment amount in rubles;
- Payer status – resident of the Russian Federation or non-resident (for foreign companies).
The payment form is located in the section for corporate clients.
Before opening the page with the form, make sure that you have the correct region selected - you can set it in the upper right corner of the site.
The received invoice for prepayment must be printed and submitted to the accounting department of your organization for payment. Remember that it is impossible to obtain a duplicate of an automatically generated document with a live seal at MegaFon offices. If you need the original with a live seal, contact the offices directly, bypassing the corporate website. There is another way to order and receive a prepaid invoice from MegaFon. To do this, the person responsible for cellular communications in the company must go to the “Personal Account” for corporate clients and use the invoice button. Next, the document is printed on a printer and sent to the accounting department.
Restrictions on the use of the service
There are a number of operator prohibitions that under no circumstances will allow a subscriber to receive a short-term loan within the framework of the “Trust payment”:
- the user has an already activated “Pay whenever you want” option, which provides for the possibility of the balance going into minus, provided that all communication services are preserved;
- too little subscriber experience as a Megafon client (less than 1 month);
- insufficient average monthly communication costs combined with a short subscriber experience;
- exceeding the permissible negative balance thresholds of -40r., -70r. and -250r.
It is also necessary to take into account the limitations that the connection introduces, especially in a situation with a negative balance. First of all, this is the inability to use the useful options “Mobile payments” and “Mobile transfer”.
Service "Pay for me"
An analogue of the “Call me” service, the difference is only one digit in the request, you can use the service by dialing the command *143* number# call button. Just like the request to call back, the service is provided free of charge.
This command has two ways to top up a subscriber’s account with a zero or negative balance. In the first case, upon receiving an SMS notification, the interlocutor, following the voice assistant, pays the bill for the conversation. In the second case, he can dial the combination *133*transfer amount*recipient number#call. Thus, it replenishes the balance of the needy user. In this case, the accrual can range from five rubles and more.
The number of such requests should not exceed five per day. This service can be used not only within your region, but throughout the Russian Federation, and you can send SMS to any mobile operators.

The short number 0559, by following the instructions, will help connect you with the interlocutor without having funds in your account. And the connected one will allow you to find out missed subscriber numbers even when the phone is turned off.
How to activate “Promised payment” on Megafon
You can activate the service either independently or with the assistance of a specialist from the provider.
USSD commands
To activate “Trust Payment”, you need to send the already familiar USSD command *106# or its duplicate *1006# .
Service SMS messages
It is quite convenient to activate the service by using the operator’s SMS service. To do this, you need to send a message with the text 100 or 300 (the loan amount you need) to a short number 0006.
Voice menu
Phone number 0006 can also be used to enter the Megafon voice menu. After dialing, all that remains is to follow the voice prompts of the auto-informer and select the required amount of the “Promised Payment”.
Online self-service services

These client services have wide functionality, allowing you to fine-tune your number, view expenses, change the tariff and activate the necessary options, including taking out the required loan amount in the “Payments” menu section.
Call Help Desk
Contacting the Megafon call center by phone 0500 is a universal, but not always convenient way to connect to the services and options of the provider due to the constant congestion of communication lines, the long waiting period for a connection with a consultant and the need to voice your passport details in order to go through the procedure for identifying the owner of the SIM card. cards. However, in some life situations, it is a call to the operator that will allow you to timely receive the “Promised Payment” on Megafon and maintain access to all the cellular services the user needs.
Visit to the service office
Despite the irrationality of connecting the “Trust Payment” at the Megafon service office, we will still point out this potential opportunity. However, it is more logical for a subscriber who comes to a company salon to take advantage of the opportunity to directly replenish the balance than to take out a loan that will need to be repaid in the very near future.
Brief and precise conditions for obtaining
If necessary, you can request from 50 to 300 rubles. The longer you are with MegaFon, the more funds will be allocated.
If you allocate 50 rubles. – activation costs 5 rubles; 100 rub. – 10 rub.; 300 rub. – 20 rubles, respectively.
MegaFon lends trust payments for a period of three days, up to five times a month. After a certain period of time, you need to top up your account, since both the debt and the user fee will be written off at this time. But you shouldn’t be upset, because taking care of everyone, the mobile market leader provides many other opportunities to borrow money.

- Set yourself a minimum; if it is reached, you will automatically receive a payment.
- Use the tariff for more than 90 days and spend at least 399 rubles.
- So that the balance does not exceed minus 250 rubles.
If the ordered service is not yet active, do not forget that the call can be made at the expense of a friend.
Trust payment on MegaFon is an easy, fast and direct way to the world of communications. It is a real opportunity to be in the access zone both within the territory of the number and in roaming.
For Megafon users who do not want or forget to regularly check the status of their balance, the operator offers to use. This option is connected to the number on an ongoing basis and in a situation where the balance value drops to 10 rubles, it automatically credits 300 rubles to your personal account. The subscriber receives a corresponding message about the completion of the transaction and must replenish the account within 3 days in an amount sufficient to repay the loan. The cost of the service is 20 rubles, which is written off once when the debt to the operator is closed.
The methods for activating and disabling “Automatic Promised Payment” are the same as for a regular loan. This is sending the USSD command *106# , the functionality of the Personal Account or the Megafon mobile application, calling the customer service at 0500 .
Also, to deactivate the promised auto payment, you can send an SMS message with the text STOP or STOP to the service number 0006.
Features of payments
If you need to order a prepaid account with MegaFon, you must do this in advance, for example, before the day the subscription fee is charged. Otherwise, the number (or group of numbers) will be blocked. Payments for legal entities are not made online, but with a delay that can be up to several days. On weekends, banks are not open at all. Therefore, invoices for prepayment at MegaFon are issued and transferred to the accounting department in advance, at least 3-4 days in advance.
If it suddenly turns out that during the payment process an error was made in the personal account number, there is no need to create and pay a new invoice for prepayment. It is enough to submit an application with the correct number to MegaFon, as well as a scan of the paid payment order - after a while the money will be credited to the correct account.
as an alternative to “Promised payment”
We have already mentioned in this article about the “Pay whenever you want” option, which, when active, does not allow you to activate “Promised payment”, since both services are functionally similar.
The main difference is that “Pay whenever” does not provide the subscriber with a real cash loan, but increases “negative” balance limits, keeping the entire list of mobile services available. In this case, the limits are calculated individually for each subscriber and depend both on the average communication costs over the last three months, and on the subscriber experience, tariff plan and package of activated options.
The service is free, and reimbursement of spent operator funds is carried out based on the invoice for the previous month, which is received by the user on the 6th day of the current month. The amounts invoiced must be repaid by the 21st, otherwise the operator may block the number.
To enable or disable the “Pay whenever you want” option, use the USSD request *550*1# . Another way to activate the service is to send an SMS message with the number 1 (one) to the number 5050 . To disable the option, an SMS message with the number 2 (two) is sent to the same number. Checking the current balance status is implemented via USSD requests *100# or *550# .
