After turning on the phone, you will receive information about people who tried to call you. They, in turn, will receive a notification that you are back in touch.
How does Megafon work?
When you are not online and your number receives a call from another subscriber, Megafon will record this fact. As soon as you reappear in the coverage area, you will receive an SMS message that will indicate from which number, how many times and at what time you were called. If this number is in your contact list, the subscriber's name will be indicated instead of the number.

Or maybe he was just tired of everything, and he decided to turn off the phone in order to spend a couple of hours in silence - without annoying calls.
