Is it possible to completely disable the tariff?
A complete shutdown is not possible for cellular plans. The fact is that Megafon's SIM card cannot work without a certain tariff. However, the company provides subscribers with contracts for the use of which no subscription fee is charged. Thus, if necessary, you can simply change the tariff on Megafon. Read below to learn how to make the change, which tariffs can still be turned off completely, and how to turn off the subscription fee for unnecessary services using other methods.

Call to operator
The indicated method is best suited for those clients who do not know or cannot change the tariff themselves. The main advantage of this method is that all necessary actions will be performed by a company employee for the subscriber.
Step-by-step instructions for implementing this method:
- dial the number - 0500 and tap the call button (connection using the provided phone number is free for subscribers located in the Russian Federation);
- wait for the connection (usually this takes a few seconds, however, due to the high workload of operators, the connection time may be increased);
- after connecting to the operator, ask to change your tariff plan;
- the employee will ask you for your phone number and code word;
- after that you will need to select a new tariff;
- Then the employee will perform the necessary actions;
- then, a notification with a code will be sent to the phone you named. To agree to the operation, you just need to send this code to the same number.
Cost of services outside the basic package
What are the prices in this tariff for services that are not included in the main package? Prices for services not included in the package tariff offer also vary from region to region. Here are the average prices for communication services.
Voice calls
- Calls to numbers of third-party operators in your service area - 2 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
- Calls to numbers of third-party operators throughout the Russian Federation - 3 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
These rates remain the same when roaming throughout the country (except for being in the Republic of Crimea, including Sevastopol).
Important! The cost of outgoing calls to numbers in the service area in Crimea (including Sevastopol) is charged at a separate rate.
International voice calls
- CIS zone states – 35 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
- States of the Europe zone - 55 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
- Other countries – 75 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
- Satellite communication systems – 313 rubles per 1 minute of communication.
Internet traffic
After the end of the main Internet traffic package, additional packages costing 30 rubles and a volume of 200 Megabytes each begin to be connected automatically - the Automatic Speed Renewal service is activated.
It is possible to activate additional Internet packages:
- Extend Internet 1 Gigabyte.
- Extend Internet 5 Gigabytes.
Attention! The conditions for the provision of additional traffic packages in roaming remain the same as the traffic coverage area of the main TP package.
Office visit
This method is intended primarily for those who do not want to independently carry out the procedure of disabling their tariff plan. The main disadvantage of the method of performing the procedure remotely is that it will not work.
The shutdown process is as follows:
- First you have to go to the Megafon communication salon. They are located in almost all cities of Russia. You can find out about their location on the website megafon.ru. Before going to the operator’s office, do not forget to take your passport, since without it you will not be able to cancel the contract.
- Once you are in the salon, ask the staff to perform the operation you need.
- You will be asked to give your phone number and present your passport.
- Since it is not possible to completely disable tariffs on Megafon, you will be offered to change the service package you are using to any other. If you do not intend to use communication services in the near future, it is recommended to choose a tariff without a monthly fee.
- After your choice, the employee will perform all the necessary operations himself.
- The SIM owner will only have to confirm the operation by sending a confirmation code that will come in an SMS message.
Buying a SIM card
Sometimes the most logical solution is to buy a SIM card for your phone. This step allows you to cancel the tariff plan that was connected and all additional services in one fell swoop. However, please note that this process is not free. On average, a Megafon SIM card costs 150-200 rubles. Not critical, but you should be aware of it.
The method is popular when you want to get a new number along with your tariff. You can buy a SIM card either via the Internet (on the official Megafon website) or at any communication office. New sim - new opportunities. There will be no trace left of the old services.
Change of plan
Another way to disable the previous tariff is to change it to another. To do this, you need to use the connect command. You can make the transition in various ways. However, the easiest way to carry out this procedure is by sending a message or USSD code. You can do this as follows:
- Go to the operator's resource.
- In the site menu, select the “Tariffs” section, then select the “Other” item.
- After this, a page will open on which all offers from the operator will be presented.
- Select the option you like and click the “Go” button.
- Next, you will be offered all the transition options. Among them is sending a message.
- Send a message to the specified number and enter the appropriate text that is indicated on the site.
- After this, the operation will be completed successfully.
Or use the data from the table.

- This section will provide a list of all connected services. Find the Internet among them. Next, click on the disable option and confirm the operation;
- if necessary, you can turn off other unnecessary paid services in the same way.
If you know which option is enabled, then use short USSD commands or send an SMS to disable it.

Possible problems and their solutions
Before using one of the methods to disable a tariff plan, changing it to a more suitable option, the subscriber must know:
- It is not necessary to switch to another tariff if the problem is increased costs for operator services. In most cases, this can be solved by disabling or changing additional services and enabling options that help you save.
- If too much money is withdrawn from the phone account, and it was not possible to find the reason on your own, the subscriber is recommended to call the Megafon support service or contact the operator’s communication center. It is possible that the issue will be resolved without the need to disable the tariff plan.
- If you can’t get through to the operator the company’s client is contacting the first time, you should repeat the call later. The best time to call 0500 and 0505 is on a weekday, during standard business hours.
Important: A subscriber switching to another service package should be sure to familiarize himself with the terms of the new offer. This will allow you to avoid additional costs due to automatically connecting unnecessary services and eliminate the need to disable a new tariff plan in the near future.
