Useful USSD commands for four mobile operators

Payment for roaming services

Customers who are roaming should know and remember how to pay for services. After all, if the balance is minus, the service is terminated. So, payment options for options in roaming if it is impossible to use standard methods of replenishing the balance:

1. Payment by credit card is one of the most convenient ways. To do this, the card data must be assigned to the client’s mobile number. This method allows you to top up your account online in one minute.
2. MegaFon also allows subscribers to receive a certain loan. For this purpose, the “Promised Payment” service is used. Thus, subscribers can receive a certain amount in debt for three days.
3. Clients can also ask relatives or friends to top up their account. To do this, MegaFon provides the opportunity to send a free message to the right person. “Pay for me” service. By the way, the number can be from any mobile operator in Russia.
4. For active mobile phone users, MegaFon allows you to borrow a large amount of money. For this purpose, the “Credit of Trust” program was created. Thus, clients will be able to receive more funds into their account, which should be repaid throughout the month, but no later than the 26th.

Communication with subscribers

Articles and Lifehacks

1. 2. 3. 4.

Not all of us know what a USSD request is, although we use it regularly. At least with the simplest command, in the case of *100#, which allows you to check the account status.

But the capabilities of the USSD service are not limited to this, and we have compiled a list of the most useful commands for you.

What numbers are used and for what requests?

Standard cellular requests are used much more often than well-known resources on the World Wide Web. It is not always possible to access the Internet, but free commands are available to everyone. Among the most popular command units of this type are:

• checking mobile balance megaphone - *100#;
• find out your own phone number - *205#;
• checking the established tariff plan - *105*13#;
• connection to popular paid operator services - *583#;
• determining the amount of remaining mobile packet traffic - *558#;
• connection of mobile subscriptions - *505#;
• full information on the current phone number - *922#;
• Mega Travel Companion service - *139# ;
• the combination to enter your personal account is *105#;
• authorization and obtaining a password for your personal account - *105*00# ;
• details of subscriber account statements - *512;
• find out the list of charges by number - *100*1#;
• credit of trust service - *138*1# ;
• mobile transfer - *133#;
• call me service - *144#;
• pay for me - *143#.

Even more operations for your own megaphone number can be viewed on the official website of the service provider. For every USSD request, the client always receives the answer that is most understandable to him.

This is only a short list, and all combinations are available to cellular subscribers online. When performing such actions, you can connect or disconnect something, double-check the status of services, find out details by number.

Sending standard requests from your phone is very simple and convenient; even a child can perform such actions. The main thing is to know which numerical combination is intended to perform a specific action.

No matter what, the work of this structure is quickly restored, and if new numerical combinations for requests appear, the operator will provide this information.

In the modern world, the most valuable resource is not money, but time. It is priceless because it cannot be returned. We quite often lose this precious currency - in traffic jams, queues, congestion in the subway.

And isn’t that why so many books, courses, and marathons are devoted to time management? We are looking for an opportunity to save precious minutes so that we can then spend them as efficiently and usefully as possible.

For 2021, there are several ways for subscriber self-service. Everything is arranged so that you don’t have to wait for an operator’s response or stand in line at customer service points.

One of the self-service systems is “Personal Account”. It allows you to control expenses independently and at any time of the day, receive call details, use bonuses, top up your balance, manage services and find an answer to any question.

It is important that this system also has an analogue of this self-service system, which can be used without an Internet connection. Just dial the short command *105# and navigate through the menu items

You can manage your number using short commands completely free of charge both in your home region and in roaming.

Another method of self-service is sending SMS messages to service numbers. Medot is already becoming obsolete, although it is staying afloat. Such a system is quite difficult to use, since it is necessary to remember both the commands that are written in the text and the numbers to be sent.

Want to speed up your self-service process? Manage options, tariff, balance and receive information on them without visiting your personal account? Get to know the expanded range of USSD requests. These commands are absolutely free, information about the tariff or services comes in a matter of seconds in the form of SMS.

All short numbers begin with the symbol * and end with the symbol #

. After dialing the code, you must press the call key. If a prompt requires you to type a character or enter a password, sixty seconds are allotted for this operation.

Request Format

It is also important to mention what rules and requirements are established for teams. After all, there are a number of restrictions applied to USSD

It’s easy to understand what these restrictions and requirements are - just remember how you type the command to check your account. That’s right, first you enter the symbol “*” (the so-called “asterisk”), then the number you would like to contact to carry out the operation (for example, 111); followed by a “#” symbol (the so-called “hash”). Obviously, she's shutting down the team.

In addition to the marked characters, a USSD request may also contain prefixes. Typically, they are used to select an option within an existing command. For example, you need to dial *111*1#. The prefix is ​​separated from the main number using an asterisk

This means that the subscriber, within the given command, selects the first option (for example, when switching to some tariff plan, this is important)

Useful numbers from MegaFon

Of course, the most popular and important number for all Megafon subscribers is the number 0500. This is the help desk of the mobile operator, contacting which will help answer many questions and solve many problems related to servicing the phone number.

You can contact the voice autoinformer by calling the toll-free number 0505. It will also help you find answers to your questions. The voice assistant works around the clock.

Megafon offers its subscribers a wide range of USSD commands that help them find out a lot of useful information about their own number.

USSD Rostelecom

A telecom operator such as Rostelecom also uses USSD codes. The standard and most common request is *105#. With its help, the subscriber can call up the menu for checking the balance on his account. The main menu for changing tariffs, ordering additional services and connecting various paid options calls the Rostelecom operator USSD code *111#.

If you don’t know what tariff plan you are currently on, please use *107# to help. For those who constantly forget their phone number, there is a command *201#.

You can change the beep using *115#; ask to top up your account – *123*subscriber number #. The same applies to the ability to send “call me back, please” - this is done using *118*phone number#.

Of course, the operator has other request codes, some of which relate to specific tariffs and options. You can find them on the official website or from a company consultant.

Using services when there is no money in the account

The last category of useful commands on a MegaFon phone relates to situations when the subscriber has no money left in his account, but it is necessary to use the services. There are three actual combinations here:

• You can use the promised payment when entering *106#;
• You can send a request asking to call your phone number back by entering the request *144*79xxxxxxxxx# , where you should indicate the recipient's phone number in the appropriate format;
• You can send a request to pay your bill for using cellular services using the combination *143*79xxxxxxxxx# . As a telephone number, you need to indicate the contacts of the subscriber to whom a request will be sent with a request to top up your account.

These were lists of the most useful queries, commands and numbers that can make the life of a MegaFon client much easier. Of course, it’s quite difficult to remember them all, so we recommend that you simply enter the most useful and important requests in your opinion into your phone’s contact book, so that if the need arises to use them, all the codes will be at your fingertips.

reference Information

To obtain complete information on the subscriber tariff, as well as to connect, disconnect services and generate other requests, you can always use the single Megafon help desk number - 0500. This combination is not a USSD command, but works on a similar principle. After dialing the specified numbers, the subscriber is connected to the Megafon information service. You can get help either independently in automatic mode, following the tips of the informant, or with the help of a specialist, waiting for a connection with an operator.

Important aspects

Megafon is one of the largest Russian cellular operators. It offers services throughout the country and is used by millions of subscribers.

The company regularly develops new tariffs, offers a huge number of ways to replenish an account, and the quality of communication is steadily growing.

Tariffs for individuals imply that the client first pays and then uses, within the limits of the funds deposited in the balance, communication services.

When the personal account reaches zero or goes negative, the number is blocked and only incoming voice connections and SMS remain available.

Methods for replenishing the balance are available to clients - online from bank cards and electronic wallets, through terminals, ATMs and Internet banking, or in cash at mobile phone stores.

But every subscriber sometimes finds himself in a situation where money runs out at the most inopportune moment.

This can happen either due to the client’s own forgetfulness or due to temporary financial difficulties.

A Megafon subscriber needs to know how to borrow money from the company itself. This is a simple procedure that only takes a few seconds and can be very helpful.

Before borrowing 300 rubles or any other amount, the subscriber undertakes to repay them within the established time frame.

The company can collect them forcibly and demand compensation for penalties and fines, just like in case of non-payment of a bank loan.

Currently, Megafon subscribers also have the opportunity to connect and pay their communication costs based on the results of the past month.

But most subscribers prefer to fully control their expenses and monitor their balance themselves by making an advance payment for services.

Advice. You can almost completely eliminate possible situations with a zero and negative balance if you first set up automatic replenishment from a bank card or electronic wallet.

General requirements

There are no special requirements for subscribers wishing to use it.

It is available to all clients - individuals, as well as under the “Our People” program. You can use it both when you are in your home region and while roaming.

Users of corporate tariffs, with the exception of subscribers connected under the “Our People” program, will not be able to use the service.

The payment procedure for corporate users is somewhat different, and such issues for them are resolved individually with the management of the organization.

New subscribers will be able to use the service only after their payments to the account exceed 100 rubles, and charges for services - 30 rubles.

Such subscribers will be able to reactivate the service if the balance has not reached -40 rubles.

Terms of service

Provided only if the “Pay when convenient” service is not connected.

Together, these two services cannot be used simultaneously and the client must make an independent choice which service is preferable for him.

The validity period of the service for subscribers with up to 1 month of service is only 1 day, all other clients will be able to use it for up to 3 days.

For the VIP client category, the period for using the trust payment has been increased to 7 days. During this time, you must make a minimum amount of the promised payment.

Subscribers who have been using communication services from Megafon for less than 1 month will be able to borrow no more than 50 rubles.

For those who use a SIM card longer, the amount will increase and if the client does not use an unlimited Internet package, then he will be able to borrow 100, 200 or 300 rubles.

For clients who have an unlimited Internet package, the amount of the promised payment may be higher. Amounts of 100, 200, 500, 800, 1100, 1300 rubles are available to them.

The company charges a commission for provision. An exception to this rule is made only for VIP clients.

We provide information on the size of the commission in the following table:

Important! A commission is charged even when the Trust Payment is automatically activated, but there is no additional fee for its automatic activation. Video: how to take the promised payment from the operator
