There are various situations in life that need to be reported to the police department. But if your home phone is not at hand to dial the well-known combination 02, you will naturally use your mobile phone for this. If you are a subscriber of the MegaFon cellular network, you have the opportunity to dial the number of the dispatcher of the nearest branch using a combination of numbers, which will be described below. In this material we will find out how to call the police from MegaFon by dialing a standard command, as well as using an emergency call.
How to call the police from a MegaFon mobile phone
To call the police, MegaFon subscribers need to dial 102, tell the operator your location and tell about the offense. But in this case, an active SIM card is required. Therefore, if this method turns out to be unsuitable, then calling 112 will help. After listening to the voice menu, you need to select the “2” button on the keyboard to be connected to the police.
The caller has the right not to introduce himself, to report a violation of any law in force in the Russian Federation, and to leave the scene of the crime. The police arrive on average within 10 minutes.
Recommendations for communicating with the operator
If you dial 112, an operator will answer, briefly introduce himself and wait for the necessary information about the location of the caller, the nature of the problem and the degree of its complexity. Based on the information received, the operator will redirect the call to the appropriate service.
If you dial 102, the call will go straight to the police station. It is necessary to explain where and what crime is being committed, planned or has already occurred.
In addition to those listed, find out the telephone number of the district police department and the district police department.
List of main numbers
Emergency numbers.
Since emergencies take you by surprise, MegaFon subscribers should learn and save on their phone emergency call codes suitable for a quick call if the SIM card is active:
- Fire service - 101.
- Police - 102.
- Ambulance - 103.
- Gas service - 104.
Be sure to dial the above numbers directly from your phone and not through WhatsApp, Viber, etc. applications.
Previously, the code 102 was not valid in all regions, and a possible alternative was 020 (suitable for landline phones along with 02), but this is no longer relevant.
Emergency communication to call the police on Megafon
As you know, calls to all emergency numbers are free. In addition, they can be carried out even if there is no money on the balance, the card is blocked or does not catch the network.
A separate Federal Law “On Communications”, namely Article 52, states that Russian operators independently provide emergency service via a single telephone number 112.
Anyone can always call this number: if there is no money, a blocked SIM card, from a phone without a SIM card, if there is no network, and a support employee will answer, switching you to the desired service: 101, 103, 102, 104.
Different cellular companies provide support in different ways, for example, by calling Megafon 112, you will hear a voice menu with which you need to independently select the number related to your problem in order to switch to the desired line.
Each person needs to remember the police numbers from their home phone - 02, from mobile Megafon and other operators - 102, in case the phone without a SIM card does not pick up the network - 112.
Short call number
In a situation where you need to quickly call the police from a cell phone, you should remember that the familiar number 02 is only suitable when using a landline phone. This combination is still accepted by some cell phones, most often push-button ones, but on new devices you only need to dial a three-digit number.
Smartphone users need to take into account that each operator (Tele2, Beeline, MegaFon, etc.) has its own emergency numbers, and you need to know them so as not to make a mistake. For MegaFon subscribers, 102 is the shortest combination of numbers to call the police.
How to call the police from MegaFon
In emergency situations, you need to know how to call the police from MegaFon. It happens that in extreme situations you can get confused and forget the police phone number.
The usual number 02 can only be used from landline phones. Therefore, let's look at emergency phone numbers from MegaFon.
You can call the police using two numbers. How to do this will be indicated later in the article. It is better to save these phone numbers to your contact list on your mobile device. The service from the operator is provided in accordance with Russian legislation.
Emergency contact
The single number 112 is fixed on any phone and is indispensable when the caller does not know which service to contact first. To make an emergency call, it is not necessary to have the Internet, a network or even a SIM card; the service tariffs are the same throughout Russia - 0 rubles, regardless of the number of calls, and a negative account balance is not a hindrance.
If there is no active SIM card, dial 112 and enter the appropriate code:
- Code "1" - fire service.
- Code "2" - police.
- Code "3" - emergency medical care.
- Code "4" - emergency gas service.
Short number
Based on the fact that the number 02, which is familiar to everyone for calling law enforcement agencies at the scene of an incident, is intended exclusively for home phones, it often becomes necessary to dial the police department from a mobile device. Each mobile operator has its own combinations for calling a particular service. In this case, MegaFon subscribers, in order to call the police, need to dial 020 from their mobile phone.
All calls made to this number are not charged by the mobile operator. This was done, first of all, so that all citizens who need help from law enforcement agencies can receive it even if their account balance is negative. The rights of citizens of the Russian Federation are protected by relevant law. Within the country, this law also applies to all other telecom operators.
You can make calls to this number 24/7. A police officer must respond to your call within a minute, after which you need to explain the reason for the call, as well as indicate your residential address or the location of the incident, depending on the situation. A patrol car from the nearest police department or station, depending on the locality, will arrive at the scene.
How to build a dialogue with the operator?
The single emergency number works not only in Russia, but also in other EU countries. After dialing 112, the signal from the subscriber's phone is sent to the mobile system of the corresponding cellular operator. If the connection attempt fails, the call is redirected to other available networks.
It should be understood that subscribers dial to the control room, which processes emergency calls from other regions and regions. To redirect a request to the required service, the caller must provide:
- Reason for contacting the rescue service (road accident, feeling unwell, gas leak);
- Where is it located and how can you get to it.
After processing the data, the operator decides which emergency services to send to you for assistance.
In a difficult situation, a person may forget how to correctly call the police or an ambulance from a cell phone. To avoid getting into a difficult situation, it is recommended to write down all the necessary emergency numbers in your phone book.
Along with the rapid development of information technology, the question of changing the ways of seeking emergency help, which have long been familiar to everyone since childhood, has become relevant. Even in kindergarten, teachers in classes on the basics of life safety laid down the knowledge of how to call emergency services and taught the rules of dialing. If earlier, in order to call the police, ambulance, fire or gas emergency service, you had to look for a landline telephone or city payphone and dial the well-known combinations of numbers 01, 02, 03 or 04, but now everything has become much simpler. But, nevertheless, ignorance of the correct dialing numbers on mobile devices can prevent you from calling emergency help in an emergency.
Almost every person in our time has a mobile phone. Even young children get a cell phone to keep in touch when they go to school or are away from home. Although, at their core, mobile phones are designed to perform the same function as landline phones, they have certain differences in the way they dial a number, not only in the technical aspect, but also in the number of digits. In order to call emergency help, you need to know some features.
Among all operators, the minimum number of digits for making a call is three. And, unfortunately, no matter how much you try to call the usual two-digit numbers in an emergency, this will not give a positive result. The article below describes all the possible ways to call emergency services from a mobile phone.
How to call other emergency services?

How to call the police from your mobile phone
Unforeseen situations do not choose the time, object or place of occurrence: anyone can get into a difficult situation. Confusion and panic become an obstacle to adequate actions. Calm down, assess the circumstances soberly, and if necessary, seek emergency help. At such moments, you rarely have a landline phone at hand, and the age of technology has accustomed us to cellular communications. Therefore, the question of how to call the police from a mobile phone becomes relevant and important for life. To avoid hastily remembering the number you need, save it in your phone first.
Alternative methods of communication
It is possible to make a call to the police from a Megafon mobile phone using alternative communication methods. Regardless of the cellular operator and connection, a universal set of numbers applies depending on the area. You can find out the code of your city or region on the Internet.
The digital combination looks like this:
(city code of this location) – 99 (special emergency code) – (02,03,04,09,01) – (any three digits).
In an unexpected situation, it will be difficult to remember the dialing sequence. Write down the numbers now! This way, you will be sure that in a difficult situation you will not lose important time searching and connecting.
General emergency phone numbers
Since childhood, we all know the contact details of the main rescue organizations - 01, 02 and 03. But such two-digit layouts do not work for mobile devices. To contact the operator of a specific emergency team via cellular line, all users must remember the following digital sequences:
- "101". To call the fire brigade, rescue team or the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
- "102". Law enforcement contact. You will be directed to a direct line with the specialist on duty, without an answering machine.
- "103". Calling an ambulance.
- "104". Call the gas service. If you smell gas or know of a gas leak, call this number immediately to avoid an explosion or fire.
- "109". Help support.
Attention! Outgoing calls to the listed telephone numbers are not subject to charging. You can make a call even if your account status is negative or you don’t have a SIM card.
Operators are ready to take calls from a cell phone at any time of the day.
Unfortunately, all lines with specialists are sometimes busy during busy periods. Therefore, to contact the police, it is better to call the nearest department in your area so that the squad can begin to respond as quickly as possible. Each duty station has its own city contact, which is easy to find out at the help desk or on the Internet. In this case, the call will be paid by the caller, in accordance with the established tariff plan. But sometimes every second is important and the money spent does not play a special role.
In addition to the contact information listed, Beeline subscribers are able to use alternative communication channels with emergency organizations; they will not be valid for other providers. Remember simple three-digit combinations:
- To call the fire brigade or rescuers, dial “001”.
- Communication with law enforcement agencies, police - “002”.
- Ambulance team request - “003”.
- Gas service - “004”.
All contact information listed is free. They are able to call them in any region of the country and not be afraid that excess funds will be written off from their balance.
