S Megafon called me: connecting the service and how it works

Nowadays, life requires us to constantly be in touch, regardless of whether we are working or relaxing. Mobile operators have special services that allow you to stay connected even when your phone is turned off. You can also stay in touch if you are in places where there is no connection. MegaFon will not be an exception in this case. With its own option for clients " They called me S", which notifies subscribers about all missed calls.

Description of service

The “I Called S” service offers the following: the subscriber will be sent text notifications that he received a call at a time when he could not receive the call. Without this feature, calls will be missed and lost. With the service connected, the subscriber will be able to read in the received SMS who exactly called him and call him back. The letter will contain information about the caller (his number), time and number of missed calls.

The service is triggered in cases when:

the subscriber's phone was turned off;
the subscriber was outside network coverage;
the subscriber was having another conversation and the line was busy.

This functionality is provided without a subscription fee, and you also do not need to pay anything when connecting. It works throughout Russia, even if you are in domestic roaming. But the service is not available when roaming abroad.

Activation methods

First of all, it is worth noting that the feature will be activated automatically when “Who called +” is disabled. In a situation where such a function is not provided for by the terms of the tariff plan, the “They called me S” function will become active automatically. For tariff plans from the “All Inclusive” series, the function is not active, but you can activate it yourself, if necessary. There are several options for this:

The simplest and most accessible method is to use USSD commands. On your cell phone keyboard you need to dial a command with the following content: *105*1155#, and then send a call. As a result of processing the request, this offer will be activated, of which the operator will notify you using a corresponding text notification.
The function can also be activated by sending an SMS message. To activate, you need to send a notification with empty fields to the service number 05001155. This message is not subject to tariffs. The user will be notified about activation of the option via a reply SMS.
You can also resort to using the operator’s website, where in the “Services” tab you need to select the required option, click on the connect button and fill out the fields where the subscriber’s data and his cell number are indicated. The consumer will be notified of the activation of the function via text notification.
Another popular way to connect to the service is to use the “Personal Account”. In it you need to go to the “Services” tab and select the required service, then click on the “Activation” button.

If the user has any questions during the activation process, they can call the Megafon call center. This is done by calling 0500. You can also ask the operator to connect the required service over the phone.

Important! Before activating the option, you must prepare your passport and TIN, because the operator may request such information from the client.

To plug

The owner of any Megafon tariff can activate this useful option. Moreover, it is turned on automatically when you switch to almost any tariff, except for some corporate ones, and also those that are used to work on the Internet. The company’s website states that the service is not enabled by default on all “All Inclusive” tariffs, but all of them are already in the archive and cannot be switched to. If the client continues to remain on one of them, then you can enable the option manually.

Description

This option is valid in the following cases:

being outside the network coverage area;
the phone was turned off;
The line was busy due to a conversation on the phone.

This option is very useful and has no restrictions for connection at any tariff. Please note that each specific region may have its own data. Therefore, before connecting to the service, you should check the information on the official website of MegaFon. This option is available to almost any MegaFon client. The exception in this case is some subscribers. These are users using a tariff designed exclusively for accessing the Internet, as well as some corporate packages. All connection restrictions can be clarified on the company’s website. It should be noted that this service is automatically enabled for those who have not activated the “ Who called + ” service.

The “ They called me S ” option can be enabled by almost any MegaFon customer. The exception will be those who use tariffs intended only for Internet access and some corporate packages. These restrictions can be clarified on the company’s website. In addition, the option is automatically enabled for those clients who have not activated the “ Who called + ” service.

There is no additional fee for using this service, nor for activating it. The option works throughout the country, so when traveling, the subscriber will in any case be notified of who tried to contact him. However, the option does not work in roaming. When you turn on the phone, you will always receive an SMS with information about who, when and how many times tried to contact.

Disable

There is no need to disable the service, because it is free. But if you are simply tired of these SMS messages about missed calls, then you can use the same methods as for connecting, only in the opposite direction.

USSD command *105*1155#. It will disable your service if it was active.
SMS to number 05001155 - the same thing.
Personal account on the Megafon website. Just go there, open the list of your connected services and uncheck the one you need.
Call the 0500 operator and ask to disable the service.

Deactivation options

When the consumer no longer needs the “I was called by S” option, he can easily disable it. There are several convenient options for this. Everyone can choose the method that is most comfortable for them:

One of the fastest and most comfortable options is deactivation by using the “Personal Account”. There, in the “Services” tab, you can select any necessary option and deactivate it.
If the first option is not suitable for the consumer, then he can disable the option by sending a notification to the service number 05001155. The message text field does not need to be filled in, it must be empty.
You can also use USSD commands. The user needs to dial *105*1155# on their cell phone. The function will now become inactive.
Another option to disconnect is to call customer support toll-free. You need to call the service number 0500 and ask the operator to deactivate the unnecessary option. Calls to this number are completely free.

Pay attention to the following fact! Deactivating the option is not at all necessary, because it is provided absolutely free of charge and there are simply no monthly payments for its operation. See also:

In various situations, when a subscriber cannot receive an incoming call within 30 seconds, a voice message about missed calls and a text message from the calling subscriber will be sent to his number. The SMS message contains information about identifying the number of the caller, the time and date of incoming calls, as well as information about their number. There is also an extended option “Who called +”.

A failed connection can to some extent be compensated for by the caller's voice message; in order to listen to its content, the subscriber must call 0525. The entire process is controlled by an auto-informer that sends signals to compose a voice and text message, but if the caller refuses the voice message , the recipient will only be sent a text SMS with a standard set of information about the call.

Who can use

“Who called+”;
"All inclusive";
tariff plan for Internet use;
corporate numbers.

The service will be available to these subscribers only if they connect independently. Moreover, “Who Called+” users will have to turn it off first. This will be a rational decision, since the main functions of this paid option are also available in “They called me.” Pure savings from a financial perspective.

How to activate the service They called me S

Initially, you should note that the option will be enabled independently if you deactivate the service from MegaFon “Who called +”. Also, if such a service is not provided for in the tariff, it will be active automatically. On the “All inclusive” tariff plan line, the option is not activated, but you can start it yourself, if necessary. To do this, use any of the convenient connection methods:

One of the simple ways to activate the service is to send a ussd request to the operator. To do this, you need to enter *105*1155# on your mobile phone. After that, make a call, this will send the request for processing. When the option is active, the operator will notify the client about successful activation via an incoming text message.
An equally easy connection method is to send a message. This is a kind of replacement for the ussd request. To do this, you will need to send a blank message by phone 05001155. The cost of such an SMS is 0 kopecks. After activation, the operator will notify you of the connection with a counter SMS.
You can use online resources, or rather, the company’s website and a page describing the option. On the page, click on the connect button and fill out a form in which you only need to indicate your phone number. After this, an SMS will be sent to the specified phone number with different ways to activate the service.
You can also log into your personal account on the company’s website. After registering and logging in, you will need to go to the services tab and activate “They called me S.” This method is convenient due to its clarity. Through your account you can maintain full control of your balance, options and tariff plans.

If you have questions about activation, it is recommended to call your MegaFon operator. To do this, you need to dial 0500 and explain the reason. The operator can also connect the option independently or help with the connection over the phone. It is worth noting that the call center employee may ask for your passport details.

How to disable

If the option “They called me S” is no longer needed, then it can be deactivated. There are several methods you can use to disable it. Each client independently chooses a more convenient method:

A clear and convenient method is to disable the service through your personal account. All you need to be registered in it and have a password for access, which is sent to your phone number in the form of SMS.
If it is impossible to use Internet resources, it is recommended to send a text message by phone 05001155. There should be nothing in the body of the letter.
Also, without access to the Internet, you can deactivate using the ussd command. You should enter *105*1155# on your device. After this, the option will be deactivated.
If difficulties or questions arise, then it is recommended to call the customer support service toll-free number 0500. Operators can disable the option themselves, or they can advise how to disable it correctly yourself.

It should be noted that it is not necessary to disable the service, because it is provided free of charge. In this case, the subscriber will always be aware of who called while the phone was turned off or was out of network coverage.

Peculiarities

The main purpose of the option is to provide detailed information about dialing attempts by other users at times when the phone was turned off, there was no network coverage, or a conversation was in progress with another subscriber. The data comes in the form of notifications that indicate calling numbers, call times, and the number of dialing attempts.

An important advantage of MegaFon is the ability to receive voice messages lasting up to two minutes. If the user is unable to get through to the desired number, he still has the opportunity to leave information by dictating it, as if on an answering machine. In turn, the recipient, having seen a note in the notification about a left voice message, will be able to quickly listen to it by calling the service number 0525.

It is important to consider that the storage time for sound notifications does not exceed 24 hours, and there is a limit on their number. The system stores no more than 10 unheard voice messages. If the eleventh arrives, the first is automatically deleted.

You can contact the 0525 service only from the number to which the notification was received. Calls within your home region are free. When traveling within Russia, communications are charged in accordance with the terms of the package used. It is important to know that the service is not available in international roaming.
