In the era of information technology, it is impossible to remain without help. Call center consultants, managers in communication stores, and Internet sources can give practical instructions. There are a huge number of ways. Something will definitely help.

When purchasing a SIM card, an agreement is concluded between the client and the mobile operator and signed bilaterally. Then the employee of the Megafon branch enters the SIM card number into the database, after which it will be activated within 24 hours.

If the subscriber needs to independently activate the SIM card, then you can contact the operator and voice the request. To do this, call back to 88003330500. A company employee will accept the application and perform activation.

In this case, you may need to provide the contract number, passport details, to whom the SIM card was registered, or say a code word. This is necessary to confirm that the subscriber is actually the owner of the SIM card.

If independent attempts to make the SIM card active are unsuccessful, then you should contact any Megafon branch. The subscriber must have a passport with him.

Automatic activation of a SIM card from this operator occurs within three days after purchase. This usually takes no more than an hour, but Megafon warns that you should wait three days before you panic.

There is a certain procedure that every newly-made owner of Megafon performs:

1. Inserting the purchased SIM card into the device (phone or tablet).
2. Filling out the contract in two copies. It talks about all the responsibilities and conditions for providing communications, both operator and client. Since it is advisable to purchase a SIM card only in stores, the seller must provide you with the form and advice on how to fill it out.
3. You and the sales consultant sign an agreement, each takes one of the copies. In the future, your data specified in it can be used by the operator for purposes that are safe for you. Mainly for the sake of advertising.
4. Then you choose a tariff plan. If you cannot do this while you are in the communication salon (you haven’t decided or were in a hurry), you can dial the code *168# and the call key on the phone screen at any time and anywhere. A menu with information about all tariffs will be displayed on the screen. All that remains is to choose the right one.
5. The final stage is replenishing your account. 100 rubles is enough.

There is another way to activate a Megafon SIM card - by number. To do this, you need to unpack it and insert it into the device. Enable it by entering the PIN code specified in the documentation for the starter package.

Next, you need to deposit money into your account and perform any action - call, write a message. In this case, activation occurs by default.

For the busiest or lazy people there is also such a method. You can configure the SIM card without removing it from the package. Call the toll-free number 8-800-333-05-00, which is a service number. From any phone. The Call Center operator will answer the phone, and he will clearly and step-by-step explain what needs to be done to activate your Megafon SIM card.

You can also call 0500 (from any phone, but the operator must only be Megafon). Listen to what the robot says and click the “Connect with operator” button (usually 0). Calling this number is free for Megafon owners.

The SIM card is activated by pressing the key combination *121*PUK code*Your phone number# and the “call” button. This must be done after you have inserted the SIM card, turned on the phone and entered the PIN code.

Please note that the combination contains a PAC code, not a PIN. The PACK code can be found on the plastic card where the SIM card was previously attached, under a special protective coating. It needs to be erased with a coin. Some people do this with their fingernails, but you have to be very careful. Please note that your current phone number is written on the same card.

The Megafon company provides on its official website, with the help of which you can independently connect all kinds of services, find out about your account, change tariff plans, etc.

If nothing helps at all, you should contact a Megafon branch, or better yet, a customer service center. Any available employee will help you.

Don't forget to take your passport and SIM card with you. Perhaps it is faulty and they must issue you a new, working SIM card. Some useful exchange.

As soon as you discover that your SIM card is missing, you must immediately block it so that an attacker or third party cannot use your personal data. To restore your phone number, contact your nearest MegaFon store. It is important to have your passport with you when visiting. The salon staff will help you return the old number on the new SIM card.

Voluntary blocking of a number is necessary if you decide not to use a certain mobile number for a long time, for example, you are leaving the city or country. In such cases, no subscription fee will be charged, since you are not using this phone number. Voluntary blocking of a number is implemented for up to 6 months, but at the end of this time period it is automatically unblocked, although you can specify the required date for unblocking.

Early unblocking of a number is carried out in any open MegaFon communication store, where, at your request, a consultant will do it. Be sure to have your passport with you. If you want to do this online, then go to the official MegaFon website in your personal account, and in the settings, find the “number blocking” function and simply uncheck the box next to it. As soon as the settings are saved, your number will be unblocked.

In addition to this method, there is also the option of calling the subscriber service number (0500) from your SIM card, contacting the operator and personally asking to unblock the number. Prepare your passport details in advance before calling, as the operator will ask for them.

There is another option in which you dial this key combination *105*156*0# and then press the call button. We advise you to immediately write this combination of numbers into your phone’s memory when you decide to use it.

Owners of mobile phones, tablets, and USB modems use the services of the cellular operator Megafon. Therefore, for a wider range of readers and target audiences, we will consider the process of activating a SIM card using all of the listed electronic devices.

Peculiarities

Do not forget that any technical procedure has its own characteristics. If, when restoring the code, you enter it incorrectly three times again, the SIM card will be blocked immediately. You can unlock it yourself, but to do this you need to know the PUK code of the card. So, under no circumstances throw away the scratch card on which the SIM card was attached. If you have lost the card case, then you will need to contact the information service for help. The call is free. You can call from another number and ask for support.

If the case is damaged, it is better not to buy the package, otherwise you will not be able to read the necessary information later. PIN1, PIN2, PUK1, PUK2 will be written on the remaining plastic.

To find out the necessary data, rub a coin near the inscription and the necessary codes will be located under the protective layer.

If you did not buy the package, then seek help from the person who purchased it, let him tell you all the information necessary for recovery.

After recovering your secret password, be sure to change it. To do this, first enter the standard combination 0000 or 1234, and then enter the numbers that you consider necessary. To avoid forgetting the new code, write it down on paper and hide it in a safe place. This way you will save your time, and if you lose your pin next time, it will be easier to restore it.

Blocking can occur for many reasons, including:

1. Loss or theft of a mobile device. In this case, you must immediately contact the operator and law enforcement agencies.

It is impossible to make calls or send SMS with a blocked SIM. This is the first sign that your number is inactive. It is only possible to make calls to emergency numbers.

To find out if your number is active, you can do one of the following:

• visit the Megafon store to receive advice from a company employee; upon presentation of the SIM card and passport, he will determine whether it is blocked, and will also tell you how to proceed further: whether the blocking can be removed or whether it is only necessary to purchase a new number;
• call the short number 0500, wait for the specialist to answer whether your SIM is active and what needs to be done to unblock it, if any: sometimes all you need to do is top up your account with a certain amount and make a call somewhere.

There are few options, since you will not be able to log into your personal account if the card is not active.

Megafon is one of the Big Three operators and has a huge army of users who actively use phones, tablets and USB modems for work. Therefore, it is advisable to consider ways to activate a new number on these devices, especially given the significant similarity of procedures.

If this does not happen, you must use one of the activation options below.

To register a card online using a tablet computer, you can use any of the methods described above.

To activate a SIM card on an iPad you need to:

• install a SIM card in iPad;
• turn on the tablet;
• connect the device to a computer with Internet access;
• register in the iTunes application.

As a result of these simple steps, the SIM card will be activated and ready for full use.

In addition to registering a new number, Megafon users may need to activate a blocked card at any time. SIM card blocking can be done voluntarily or by the operator.

To restore its functionality, you will need to enter the PUK code. In turn, incorrect multiple entry of the PAC (10 times) entails irretrievable loss of the number.

Since a SIM card can be blocked for various reasons, to restore it you may need:

• replenishment of balance (in case of debt);
• call the call center at 88003330550;
• using the functionality of the Personal Account or its mobile version “MegaFon. Personal Area";
• visit to the company salon.

If you need to activate a megaphone SIM card that was blocked due to an incorrectly typed PIN code (3 attempts), then you will need a PUK code. This code is indicated in the documentation that comes with the SIM card, as well as on the plastic carrier of the SIM card under a protective layer, which must first be erased.

If you have forgotten your PUK code and your documents have been lost for a long time, you should not try to guess it. After 10 unsuccessful attempts, the number will be blocked forever. If you don’t know how to unlock the Megafon SIM card, if there is no puk code, then just call the operator. To contact a contact center specialist, dial 88003330500 and follow the autoinformer prompts and contact the operator. Ask your consultant to tell you your PUK code. Before providing you with this information, the operator will ask for your passport information.

Mobile operator Megafon has implemented a separate algorithm for activating the card directly on the USB modem. To do this, you need to connect the wireless module to the PC, monitor the installation of the software and, after waiting for the end of the installation, open the Personal Account page in the browser.

In the form that opens, you need to enter a new subscriber number and PUK code of the SIM card, which is indicated on the packaging and in the documentation. After completing the registration procedure, the number begins to be perceived by the system as activated.

We have already mentioned that for the SIM card that will be used on the modem, you can use preliminary activation using your phone.

We have prepared instructions for all types of devices so that you can easily figure out the question that arises specifically for you.

An unactivated SIM card connects to the network and the name of the operator appears on the device screen. In principle, everything looks like you can already make calls. To check, request balance *100#. For non-activated SIM cards, the balance is displayed as zero. If you ask for the name of the tariff, “Starter GSM” will appear as an option.

Don't worry. When you choose a tariff with activation, your balance will become what it was supposed to be when you purchased. The minimum advance payment is charged at the moment of activation.

Activating a Megafon SIM card on a tablet is slightly different from activation on a phone. In addition to the two standard activation methods (via the official website and automatically when replenishing your account), there is also an activation option in which these steps are taken:

1. Connect the tablet to a laptop or computer.
2. Register in the iTunes application.
3. Select the appropriate SIM card activation option.

Please note that this method is only suitable for iPad tablets.

• call someone;
• send an SMS message.

Instead of calling a friend or relative, you can dial a special number, the call will be free: 8-800-333-05-00. After connecting to the operator, you need to follow his recommendations.

On your phone, dial *121*PIN code*new number#.

The PIN code is located on the back of the card and consists of a four-digit designation. The code is located under a secure layer, which can be easily removed with a coin.

Often, the card is activated on Megafon automatically, at the time of replenishing the balance. If the card is not automatically activated when there is a sufficient amount of funds in the account, then:

• dial the command from the characters: *168#, then “Call”;
• choose a tariff.

Activation will take place after a short time.
