The popular mobile operator Megafon offers its customers not only good communications, but also fast and high-quality Internet. In addition to the Internet, users receive many additional services and options, which are sometimes very useful. But sometimes the need for a mobile Internet connection disappears for some subscribers. In order not to pay extra money, you can turn it off, but some people don’t even know about it, continuing to waste their money. The procedure for turning off the Internet is quite simple and does not take much time.
How to disconnect mobile Internet from Megafon
The operator provides its subscribers with several ways to disable the Internet, so everyone can choose the one that seems more convenient to them:
- through your personal account;
- through the operator;
- personally visit the company office;
- via USSD service;
- by sending an SMS notification.
Subscriber's personal account
Any mobile subscriber can manage their subscriptions, tariffs, find out their balance, and so on, through their personal account. But, besides this, you can also disable the Internet Megafon.
- To access your account, just log into the company’s official website.
- Log in - the login is the phone number, the password can be obtained by entering the command *110*0512#*105*00# and pressing call.
- You will receive an SMS message with a login password; you must enter it in the appropriate field.
- In your account, you need to find the options and services tab and enter it.
- Select a service and click the “Disable” button.
- Confirm action.
- Wait for it to turn off.
Operator Megafon
Another way to refuse the Internet is to call the operator. To do this you need:
- enter the number 8/800/550-05-00 or 0500;
- wait for a response;
- follow the instructions on the answering machine and wait for the employee to respond;
- he needs to indicate his intentions;
- To disconnect the Internet, the operator will require you to indicate the subscriber’s passport details or a code word, so before making a call, have your passport ready.
A few minutes after accepting the application, the employee disables this function.
Attention! The call to the operator is completely free, and it must be made from the number where you plan to turn off the mobile Internet.
Megafon office
If you have time, then a great option to turn off the mobile Internet is to visit the office. At the moment, there are operator offices in any city where you can contact them for any question. Before going to the office, do not forget to take your subscriber's passport with you. If the SIM card is not issued to you, but to another person, then you will not be able to use the services through the office employees. If the SIM card is yours, then it will take only a few minutes to disable the service, after which an SMS notification will be sent to the number stating that the Internet connection service has been disabled.
USSD service
To turn off the Internet, you can use a special service.
- Dial the command *105*1026#, press call.
- Wait for the notification.
- The screen will display a code that must be dialed to deactivate the service.
After sending a combination of numbers, the subscriber will receive a notification that the service has been disabled.
SMS notification
You can also disable the option that provides access to the Internet via a regular SMS message.
- Dial SMS to number 0500.
- The text of the SMS message depends on the tariff:
- tariff-S – 05009122;
- tariff-M – 05009123;
- tariff-XL – 05009125;
- Taraf-L – 05009124;
- tariff-XS – 05009121.
- After this, wait for a notification about the service being disconnected.
Attention! SMS notifications are charged according to the operator's tariffs.
Method No. 2 - through commands
This method is the simplest. When a subscriber does not want to use a service that provides access to the Internet, he can use a number of commands that will allow him to turn off the Internet. First, you need to find out information about the tariff plan and services associated with this number, since the set of actions to disable the Internet differs for different tariff plans. To do this, you need to contact the nearest MegaFon location or dial the combination 0500. The operator, using the owner’s data and phone number, will check the current tariff, list, service packages, and tell you what sequence of actions needs to be carried out to turn off the Internet automatically.
Without spending much time, you can turn off this function yourself by using your personal account on the cellular operator’s website, where you can see what tariff plan is valid on this device and the connected Internet package. Opposite each of the packages is a combination of numbers that is used to disable it.
There is a combination of numbers and characters with which you can deactivate the Internet package *527*0#.
You will receive a message on your phone confirming that the option is disabled. It must be taken into account that in any region of our country there are various combinations for disconnection, so when recruiting a team, you need to choose your service area. There are also older options that are no longer used for connection, but only a few subscribers use them, usually those who rarely use the network.
Disabling the Internet on the device
In addition to all these methods, each subscriber can pause mobile Internet on the mobile device itself.
To do this, you need to go to your phone settings and select the data transfer tab. The device will show that the Internet connection is connected using a mobile connection. Nearby there is a disable button, which you need to press. The Internet will be turned off. But payment for it will continue to be charged by the operator. This method is acceptable if you are not going to use Internet services through an operator for some time.
Method No. 1 - through the menu or application
Not everyone has information that the Internet on a SIM card of a given telecom operator becomes active when it is placed in any equipment: cell phone, smartphone, iPhone or tablet device.
To disable mobile Internet on equipment with the Android platform, you need to use the settings:
- go to the “Wireless Networks” section;
- then select “Mobile network”;
- then go to “Data transfer” and uncheck the box.
You can also install the application using the Play Market, which will help you when you need to turn on or off the network without any problems.
Let's consider turning off the Internet on the iPhone and iPad, although they are needed specifically for using the World Wide Web. When the Internet is not needed on this equipment, it makes sense to remove it. To do this, in the device settings, go to the “Network” section, where there are two items: 3G and Cellular data, both of them are turned off.
Turning off the network on the Windows platform: on equipment with operating systems, turning off the Internet is just as easy as on other options. You need to use the network settings menu again and set the switch to the off position.
Operator tariffs without Internet and subscription fees
If you don’t need mobile Internet at all, you can choose tariffs that do not initially provide such a service - these are Per-Second or Per-Minute.
Per second tariff
This tariff does not have a subscription fee, so you will only have to pay for the seconds spent talking. To connect it, you need to contact the company’s office, since the operator does not provide services for switching to this tariff in other ways. At the same time, this tariff also includes Internet, but payment will be charged according to the MB spent.
Per minute tariff
The per-minute tariff, or in other words “Go to zero”, is distinguished by the absence of a subscription fee and an expanded package of services. By switching to it, you will be charged for the Internet only if you use it. Moreover, communication within the network is completely free. The operator rounds the seconds of conversation to minutes.
Attention! Different regions of the country may have different tariffs for calls, SMS messages and the Internet, so before choosing one of these tariffs, carefully read the tariffs in your region. You can find out more about tariffs on the official website of the mobile operator or in your personal account.
Disabling the Internet on your phone is not difficult for any subscriber, so if you no longer need it, then feel free to refuse the service in any convenient way!
Requests for management of tariff plans and services
Those who like to change the terms of communication simply must know the set of tools and amenities for use. Thanks to them, you will be aware of your services and will not forget which ones you connected and which ones you disabled.
To change any Megafon tariff plan or connect to some new service, you don’t have to go to the salon. You can do this yourself using a set of messages:

USSD service
The easiest and most convenient way to turn off the Internet is to use USSD commands.
To block any of the traffic packets, you need to dial the command * 236 * 00 #. You will receive an SMS indicating that the request to disable the service has been accepted. Next, you should wait for an SMS notification about the service deactivation. There is no charge for this action.
The most common combinations:

To connect, first download a certificate from the operator’s website, which is installed on the child’s smartphone, telephone or other gadget. You can connect using:
- commands *580*1# and “call” keys;
- text sms “ON” to number 5800;

Payment is made daily - 2 rubles per day. There are no charges for service activation (including secondary activation).
To turn off children's Internet, you can contact any Megafon office. To do this, you must take your passport with you, since only adults over 18 years of age apply for the service. And another deactivation option is to call the support service at 0500 or 8 800 550 0500. The service operates around the clock and is free.
Note! When calling the contact center, complete information will be required to identify the parent. This is done to prevent the child from contacting support and removing the block.
Commands for account management
Individual account – subscriber’s personal wallet. Only he should have access. The ability to manage, change different functions - important settings, protection from unfriendly acquaintances, scammers. The company has many options, bonuses, and discounts that you can save up and spend whenever possible.
It is possible to control expenses for the month, set the desired limit, limit it, under the circumstances.
You can easily perform these functions if you know how to use a small set of keys.
There are circumstances that do not allow you to send any request, dial 0501 plus the call button on your phone. The telecom operator will tell you how to use it correctly:
If it is difficult to understand the commands, you can use the services of a mobile operator by calling the hotline. It is possible to come to any communication salon, where polite employees will pay enough attention and explain the subtleties. It will be quite easy to figure it out and understand.
Use the help of a Megafon employee
In order to get advice from a network employee without leaving your home, you need to call 0050 (short number for an assistant). After waiting for an answer, you should briefly explain your problem (in this case, request to turn off the mobile Internet). As a rule, a deactivation notification arrives a few minutes later in the form of an SMS.
Another way is to leave a request to turn off the Internet directly on the website. There is a feedback form for this. The “Virtual Assistant” service has been developed on the official website of the mobile operator. In the pop-up chat window, you need to enter your name and mobile phone number. After this, you can ask your question, or ask to disable unnecessary services.
Personally visiting the Megafon office is a method that requires more time. But at the same time, the help of a consultant may be more effective than disconnecting the services yourself. To find the nearest office, you can use the information on the mobile operator’s website. The location of communication shops is indicated on the map. It is enough to allow the site access to your location, and the system will automatically indicate the nearest offices.
A mandatory requirement when visiting a communication salon is to take your passport with you. Without an identification document, you will not be able to perform operations with your subscriber number. If the SIM card is registered to another person, it is also impossible to turn off the Internet in the office. Therefore, a personal visit is an option only for the owner of the room.
In the mobile application
You can prohibit data transfer through the Megafon Personal Account application. Download it from Android Market for Android and App Store for IOS.
Next you need to complete the following steps:
- launch the “Megafon Personal Account” application;
- pass authorization;
- open the “Services and Options” tab;
- select “No subscription fee”;
- find the “Mobile Internet” section, disable it;
- return to the “Services and Options” tab, find services with a subscription fee, disable all Internet options.
