Megafon, like all other cellular communication companies, has developed and uses special codes in telephone numbers. However, few users are aware of what these codes are, what they are needed for, and what they generally look like. This is exactly what we will be looking into today.
Megafon, like all other cellular communication companies, has developed and uses special codes in telephone numbers. However, few users are aware of what these codes are, what they are needed for, and what they generally look like. This is exactly what we will be looking into today.
Why are Megafon codes required by region?
Not every subscriber understands what this code is and where it is located. Have you ever paid attention to those first three digits in the number that immediately follow “+7” or “8”? If not, then in vain, because these numbers are the very code. For example, in the telephone number “+7-929-000-00-00” the code numbers are “-929-”.
The phone number is fictitious, so do not try to call it.
But what is their purpose? After all, if all phone numbers had the same code, it would be easier for people to remember them. The fact is that these numbers help determine in which region of the country a particular telephone number is registered. And since the Russian Federation has a huge number of cities, regions and regions, there are also a lot of code combinations.
It would be stupid to try to remember which region is associated with which numerical combination, since this is simply impossible and useless.
Table
Once you figure out which methods are right for you, choose the option you like if necessary. Below is a table of Megafon number codes, in it you can find all the necessary information on available mobile
We have listed all Megafon phone codes by region of Russia - study the list and look for the option you need. Now you will be aware of the affiliation of any person’s mobile phone to a specific city.
How to find out the region by code
If you have never encountered the need to determine the region of the Russian Federation by its code before, then you may have great difficulty doing this now. The first thing you should know before you start identifying a region using digital code combinations is that the same combination can refer to several parts of Russia at once .
For example, the numbers “929” and “999” refer to almost every part of our country, some other number combinations, although not as common, are also assigned to several regions of the Russian Federation at once, for example, the number combination “930” is assigned to Belgorod , Bryansk, Vladimir and other regions.
In this picture it is written in brief form which numerical combination belongs to which section of the country. More details below.
What are they needed for
Why do we need Megafon region codes? Within each subject of the country, a certain number of combinations of numbers are allocated - they can be distinguished from each other using a three-digit number; each operator has its own set.
Let's figure out how you can find out the necessary information in all available ways - it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Code numbers of Megafon numbers by region
If the user suddenly has a need to find out which region is assigned to the telephone number of the Megafon user who called the phone, then he can look at a special table that indicates which numerical combination is assigned to each region of the Russian Federation and how many telephone numbers are registered with it .

What numbers do Beeline numbers begin with?
Any phone number can be divided into 3 parts. At the beginning there is the country code where the cellular provider actually operates, followed by the mobile operator code and only after that comes the subscriber’s personal, unique number series.
All Beeline numbers begin with a so-called def password. This digital series is the main identifier by definition of any cellular television system.
In addition, prefixes are used. That is, the mobile operator has its own telephone code format, always starting with nine. So what numbers do Beeline numbers start with?
All digital passwords of the television system are conditionally divided by regions of the Russian Federation. However, many of the passwords work in any region of Russia. For example, code values starting with 900 and ending with 909 work throughout the country. Because these were the first Beeline telephone combinations, operating since the 2000s, and the television system did not have other code values at that time.
New mobile operator numbers begin with the numbers 951 -968. Below you will find a list of all valid digital combinations with which Beeline phones begin:
- 900, 902, 903, 904, 908, 909, 963, 964, 965, 967, 968 – valid in all regions of the country;
- 905, 906 – throughout the country, with the exception of the Far East;
- 951, 953 – Primorsky Territory;
- 960 – in the Russian Federation, with the exception of the Urals and the Far East;
- 961, 966, 962 - valid throughout the Russian Federation, with the exception of the North-West of the country.
For subscribers living in Russia and using Beeline mobile communications, Beeline mobile codes can be determined in no time. So, to see what numbers the telesystem code values in a particular area begin with, go to the official website of the cellular provider and go to the section “Identifying the operator and number affiliation.”
You can do this as follows:
- on the main page of the television system, go to the “For individuals” category and click on the “Help” button;
- select the “SIM card” subsection and go to the above service;
- after that, a column will appear in front of you in which you will need to enter the number series of your mobile phone, enter the “anti-bot” captcha and press the “Check” button;
- after that, all the information regarding the entered number series will appear on the screen.
If for some reason you cannot use the official websites of the mobile operator to check, you can check the ownership of the phone using SMS. Everything here is also extremely simple, and in this case you don’t need the Internet. The service is provided free of charge.
For example, if you want to find out the codes with which Beeline phones begin for Moscow, then you need to send a message to 5050 with the text “Moscow”. After a couple of seconds, the information you are interested in will be sent to your cellular device.
Important!
All city names must be written in Russian.
You can also find out where the call came from via SMS. To do this, indicate in the text field the number series of the phone from which the call came and send a message to 5050.
The check can also be carried out while roaming, but in this case the service will be charged according to your tariff plan.
If you want to find out the initial numbers of Beeline phones in a particular region, you can contact technical support for help. To do this, you can call 0611 or. After connecting, ask the manager your question.
As a rule, the connection to this mobile operator is fast. However, you need to be prepared for the fact that a company employee may ask for the password word you created when registering in the telesystem, and may also ask for your passport information. This is necessary in order to find out who the mobile number is registered to, since all information can only be provided to a real Beeline client.

- "All Russia". The first connection does not require payment. Each reconnection of the service costs 30 rubles. The daily subscription fee is 10 rubles. The cost per minute of an incoming call is 3 rubles to all numbers except your region. For example, if a MegaFon subscriber’s region is Moscow, then the cost outside the Moscow Region will be 3 rubles per minute. All calls received to the subscriber's number cost 0 rubles.
- "Vacation without worries." For those who go on vacation to Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The coverage area is limited to these regions. The daily fee is 33 rubles, all calls to the subscriber's number are included in this price.
Why is this happening?
in the competition for the market, it supplies contract smartphones at a low price. And they can only use SIM cards from this operator, which is very convenient for Megafon itself. Having once sold cheaply locked phones, telecom operators sign up clients for many years who simply cannot switch to other operators (read: competitors). This is a rather cunning and effective way to develop the market, and it is practiced not only in Russia, but also in many other countries of the world. So there is nothing new in this.
Is it dangerous?
Now you know how to unlock a Megafon phone for other operators. If you do something wrong, it can be dangerous, since the phone can simply be damaged by software, after which it will glitch or even stop turning on. Therefore, it is important to know exactly how to unlock a Megafon phone for other operators and weigh the pros and cons. It is possible that even after unsuccessful firmware you will be able to return to the original state, but there are no guarantees. Moreover, we remind you once again: there is no warranty for unlocked smartphones.
But many users respond positively to this unlocking method. But no one can guarantee success. Remember that the responsibility lies entirely with you. We can only wish you good luck in this operation.
Operator code and geography
You can find out the region and operator through special services on the Internet. For example, this one is available at the addresses gsm-inform.ru/info and mtt.ru/ru/defcodes. Services allow you not only to determine the location from which you received a call or an unknown SMS, but also the communication service provider. Here you just need to enter just the first 5 digits in the search field.
MegaFon itself shares similar information. On the official website megafon.ru, go to the “Support” tab, then click the “Self-service and useful information” link and determine the telephone prefix by entering the number of interest in an empty cell.
Without opening an Internet browser window, you can receive the same information upon request from your mobile phone *629# and call. To do this, enter the desired phone number in the menu that opens and send a response to the operator.
