How to send a “Beacon” from Megafon
To send a Beacon to a selected contact from Megafon, use a universal method of sending a USSD command. The command text can be represented as follows: *144*89876543210#.
In order for the message to reach the addressee, instead of numbers, indicate the number of the client of the Megafon operator who is going to be called.
When specifying the number of another subscriber, you can indicate “+7” or “7” or “8” at the beginning. When managing this option, the format of dialing the digits of the number is not important.
How to send a “Beacon” to another operator
To send a “Beacon” from Megafon, there are no special restrictions on the choice of numbers or operators (Tele2, MTS, etc.) that serve the selected contact. In order for the application to be executed, you must make sure that a special agreement on SMS exchange has been concluded between Megafon and another mobile operator. A company employee can help you establish accurate information by calling 0500.
If a person has not responded to the sent beacons, and the request limit has expired, there is another option to send a request to pay for the call. The dialing process looks different - three zeros are dialed in front of the other subscriber’s phone, i.e. "0009876543210." Calling at a friend's expense is a free service, but you can use it no more than 5 times. If the other subscriber hangs up the call, you will have to look for ways to top up your own balance to continue using the phone.
Another way is to use the promised payment, when the subscriber simply tops up the account by borrowing a small amount, not forgetting to repay the debt by replenishing the balance over the next few days.
Another option to always be in touch is to enable the Credit of Trust option, when the operator will not remind you and write off the amount from the balance after a certain amount of time has passed. The connected Megafon credit is valid constantly, but within the agreed limit.

Before the number of the called subscriber, indicate the numbers 000. For example, if you need to make a call to the number 89193824225, then the call will be made at the expense of the interlocutor by dialing 00089193824225. The subscriber to whom the call is addressed, after accepting the call, will be connected to an autoinformer, which will inform him that the call is carried out at the expense of the receiving party and to accept it you need to press the number 1.

You can use the command *106# or by calling 0006. As part of this service, the subscriber can top up his account with 50, 100 or 300 rubles.
