Almost every subscriber at least once finds himself in a situation where he urgently needs to make a call or send an important message, but his mobile balance is zero. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to quickly top up your account and not bother with this problem anymore. Megafon has everything covered. And for this case, the mobile operator has created such a useful function as borrowing money from Megafon. This can be done through the “Promised payment” or “Credit of trust” option.
Standard promised payment
If you have just connected to the subscriber network, you will only be able to connect a payment in the amount of 50 rubles. For subscribers who have been served by Megafon for more than two months, other options are available - 150 and 300 rubles at a time. Connection fee if you take:
- 50 rubles - 5 (provided for 1 day);
- 150 rubles - 10 (given for 3 days);
- 300 rubles - 20 (also given only for 3 days from the moment of activation).
It is not possible to borrow a different amount as part of the service. It is possible to connect it in several ways, depending on which one is more convenient for you. Ways to borrow on Megafon:
- USSD command *106# (followed by a call). A flash-sms will appear on the screen with information about the amounts available to you.
- If you know exactly how much you want to order, the command can be in the following format: *106*required amount# .
- Send an SMS with the specified amount. Number - 0006.
- Call 0006 from your phone and , following the instructions from the answering machine, connect the payment you are interested in.
- Contact any operator’s office and order the service.
- Through your Personal Account https://lk.megafon.ru.
Subscribers can also activate automatic replenishment - every time there is 0 rubles left on the account, a payment of 300 will be sent to you. To activate it, you can send an SMS with any text to the number 000600 , with the exception of the text “STOP” (or it is also in English: “STOP”), which, on the contrary, disables the activated service.
Terms of service
To receive the promised payment, your account must have at least a certain amount:
- Promised payment in the amount of 50 rubles. available with a balance of at least minus 40 rubles.
- Promised payment in the amount of 150 rubles. available with a balance of at least minus 100 rubles.
- Promised payment in the amount of 300 rubles. available with a balance of at least minus 250 rubles.
If your account has less than the specified amount, or you have been servicing the network for less than the established period, or have not made enough top-ups to your account for the specified period, then the provision of the service will be denied .
It is also worth noting that “Promised Payment” is not compatible with, since these are mutually exclusive services.
On the Internet
The promised payment for the Internet on Megafon is given for a period of three days, after which you will need to pay the amount of the subscription fee and commission. You can take a maximum of 2,500 rubles, the maximum commission is 50 rubles per request. For three days you can continue to use the Internet without any problems.
You don’t have to enter the required amount yourself - if you have a connected Internet option, you just need to send an SMS or USSD request:
- *106*6# - request.
- 000601 - SMS with any text.
- You can also call 0006 or contact the office for help in connecting.
Important - in addition to the commission and the amount of the subscription fee, another 10 rubles are automatically added so that after the payment for using the option is written off, the balance remains positive.

All inclusive
Subscribers served on one of the tariff plans of the “All Inclusive” line (a tariff line with a fixed monthly payment for a certain number of minutes, SMS and Internet traffic) during the period of payment debiting can activate the promised payment on Megafon for the amount debited according to the tariff plan. You can activate it 2 days before the subscription fee is charged (and according to the tariff plan it is regularly charged on the night of the 2nd day of each month) or 5 days after. On other days the service will not be available.
If you are served on an “All Inclusive” tariff plan, regardless of which one, 2 days before debiting, you will receive a message asking you to activate the option. The exception is subscribers who have the required amount to pay in advance on their account. The SMS will contain all the information; you can connect by simply sending a reply message with any text (or just an empty one). The service is activated exactly on the day the AP is written off according to the tariff. Other ways to borrow money for a subscription fee on Megafon:

"Call at a friend's expense"
If there is no money in your account to make a call, you can use. The essence of the service is that the subscriber calls another person.

The loan amount is determined by the operator based on the average amount you spent over the previous three months of using mobile communications.
The minimum allowable amount on the account is valid for two months from the date the option is provided. However, if in the first month of using the loan, your balance is still negative, then its amount will be recalculated.
Connection is free, for which you will need to draw up an agreement at any customer service center. The credit limit will be calculated individually for you, as well as the threshold at which the service will cease.
