How to exchange points on Megafon using a USSD request
Rewards would be worthless without the ability to change them in some way. What this will be depends on the specific subscriber. If one person has to make hundreds of calls every day, free calls will come in handy. Another prefers to communicate through short messages or sits online for a long time - he will be happy to receive a package of SMS or traffic for free. Points added to your bonus account have a validity period of 1 year, so to avoid cancellation, it is better to use them gradually.
Requests by entering USSD commands have become firmly established in the life of a modern subscriber. This is as convenient as sending SMS, and much more practical than calling a call center to activate options. You can get benefits by turning your accumulated bonuses into minutes, messages and megabytes by entering combinations of stars, hash marks and numbers. These commands are different for each type of service.

You can also disable the package of additional minutes in your personal account.
Let's discuss in more detail how to add additional minutes to Megafon, consider the cost and size of packages depending on the operator's tariffs.
| Tariff plan name | Number of minutes | Price, rub.) |
| Get involved! Listen | 30 | 55 |

How to change bonus points for SMS on Megafon?
For many years now, the short message service has been bringing great benefits and convenience to its fans. Agree, without SMS our life would be a little different from what we would like. And if you remember how much the first messages within the network of one operator cost - the price for one SMS reached 15 rubles apiece.
Simply unimaginable numbers, considering that now, in our time, you can activate packages of 50 or 100 SMS for quite reasonable money, and on some tariff plans even unlimited SMS messages.
If we look at history, we know that mobile short messages themselves were invented back in 1984, and 8 years later, in 1992, the first SMS was sent. True, it was sent not from phone to phone, but from a computer to a mobile phone. The maximum possible length of an SMS today in Latin is 160 characters, and in Cyrillic, that is, in Russian, only 70. Therefore, sending SMS in Russia is not as profitable as abroad.
But, just in order to save on the purchase of SMS packages, subscribers of the mobile operator Megafon prefer to exchange accumulated bonus points under the MegaFon-Bonus program for SMS without spending a penny of real money. How is this possible, you ask? In fact, it's simple. Each user, upon activation of the SIM card he purchased, automatically becomes a member of the MegaFon-Bonus program and points begin to accumulate on his special account for every thirty rubles spent on communications - one bonus point. And then, when a certain number has been accumulated, you can exchange points for various rewards, in our case for SMS.
The next question immediately arises: how to change bonus points for SMS on Megafon?
The answer will not be long in coming. In order to exchange your MegaFon-Bonus points for a package of SMS messages, you can use one of the following methods:
1. You can activate a reward in the form of SMS using a special USSD request combination *115*2#, where you will need to select the appropriate menu item. The result of the operation will be notified to you on your phone via an incoming message about the connected package of bonus SMS to your number.
2. You can also exchange points for rewards in your Service Guide personal account, but to do this you will need to register on the portal.
3. The third method is more familiar, especially if you are going to exchange points for SMS, then you know exactly how to write them and you will not be mistaken when typing the following combinations: to receive 10 bonus SMS to your number, you need to send a message with the text from your phone to number 5010. For example, to activate 10 SMS to the number 923XXXXXXX you need to send a message 111 923XXXXXXX, and 25 MegaFon-Bonus points will be debited from your bonus balance. You can connect the following SMS packages to your number:
— 10 SMS for 25 points — code 111; — 50 SMS for 100 points — code 113; — 100 SMS for 150 points — code 115; — 200 SMS for 200 points — code 117.
Today, these are all possible rewards associated with SMS messages in Moscow and the Moscow region. Regarding rewards in other regions, which include the Far East, North-West, Caucasus, Central, Siberia, Ural, or Volga region, the cost of their connection, the number of SMS and much more, check on the official website of the Megafon operator.
Well that's all for today. We hope that you have learned how to change points on Megafon by SMS yourself and have become familiar with all the possible ways to do this. Best wishes.
