The mobile services market is changing, users are getting used to communicating using a variety of instant messengers. But mobile operators rarely show “generosity” in distributing SMS packages, and short messages will long remain practically the only way to confirm identity on many modern services. But the Megafon company offered a really good service that fully corresponds to its name - “Unlimited SMS”.
How unlimited messages from MegaFon works, how to connect, how much it costs and to whom it is available - read our article.
Unlimited functions from Russian mobile operators
The cost of one message, depending on the operator and the selected TP, is one and a half to two and a half rubles. Slight differences in price are observed when sending messages within the country. Of course, this is quite expensive, especially since instant messengers offer free communication to all smartphone owners, and almost everyone has these devices. Based on this, some operators provide the opportunity to use special options, thanks to which you can significantly reduce prices for SMS messages.

There is no limit on local intranet numbers. 30 SMS per day are provided to numbers of other operators. The daily subscription fee is ten rubles.

Connection is carried out by dialing *111*2133# and costs 34 rubles. The daily subscription fee is five rubles.
Attention!
It is important to know that not all TPs included in the “Smart” line are compatible with the latter function. In the event that the connection is not available, the person receives an SMS notification on his phone.
Connection methods
Here's how to connect unlimited SMS to Megafon; there are several ways to do this:
- Using the USSD command *456*6*1#.
- Send a message to the number 05004566. In the text input field, enter “Yes”.
- Dial 05004566 and follow the system prompts.

Is there an option with unlimited messages?
Many people ask whether Beeline SMS Unlimited is provided, which allows them to get unlimited access to sending letters. There is no such option for June 2021, and it is unlikely to appear in the near future. The reason is that modern tariff plans already include a sufficient number of SMS. In addition, this option is gradually becoming a thing of the past due to the emergence of different instant messengers. Many people use them in the process of communication and send free letters without restrictions.
If you need unlimited SMS to Beeline in Russia, you can activate special tariffs. For example, the “Maximum” tariff plan provides 300 SMS to all directions. This is enough to cover basic needs. In other tariffs their number is less - 50, but for many this number is enough. Of course, these are not unlimited messages, but judging by the reviews, they are enough.
Checking balance via SMS
Unlimited SMS tends to run out, so you should periodically check your balance. To find out the balance by messages you need to check the balance. Four methods are used for this:
- You can find out the remaining messages by calling the operator at tel. 0500. But, as a rule, this takes a lot of time, so it is better to use other methods.
- You can find out the balance by sending a message to number 000411. There is no need to write anything in the body of the letter. In response, you will receive a message with information about unlimited.
- You can check unlimited SMS through the service guide. It's very convenient and you don't need to call or write anywhere.
- If you cannot find out the balance for some reason as described above, then you can check unlimited messages directly at the cellular office. To do this you need to have your passport with you.
Finally, it should be noted that you can order free SMS for yourself using bonuses from Megafon. Bonus points are accumulated for using certain services, and accordingly for spending money on your balance (1 point = 30 rubles). The main thing is to check your points balance before ordering bonus SMS. And you can find them out either through the service guide, or using a combination of numbers and symbols.
Good luck!
Connection
To connect a message package you can use several methods:
- Using a query, a combination of symbols and numbers:

- for the fourth tariff, dial *572*4# on your phone.

In order to refuse this option, you can also use the combinations *572*0#, and in the menu that appears, select the desired package to disable or use immediately *572*(service package number)*0#;
- Connection using a computer
Using the company's website, you can easily connect or disconnect subscriptions. The main thing is to log in or register.
Disabling the service
If you don’t need anonymous messages, you need to unsubscribe from them in order to save money on your balance. Deactivation by several methods, including:
- Using a personal account or mobile application. The subscriber needs to log in to the system, find the one you need in the section with active options and press the disable button, then confirm the actions.
- Dial the service request on your phone *456*6#, after entering, press the call button and wait for the SMS report to arrive.
- Call the operator on 0500, who can remotely disable the service. To complete the operation, the employee needs to hear the passport data to confirm the identity of the SIM card holder.

Description of the service unlimited dating by phone
Like any other service, this option requires an initial connection. Then you will need to fill out a form in order for the participant’s registration to be recorded.
To clarify the purpose of the acquaintance, for maximum specificity, you can indicate the purpose of the acquaintance by choosing from four proposed options:
- for intimacy;
- serious intentions;
- search for friends;
- just for the sake of communication.
All this can be done from a smartphone. Immediately after this, you can start looking for new acquaintances.
Here are the benefits of this offer:
- To start the service, the simplest phone is suitable;
- An Internet connection is not necessary, the main thing is that the Megafon network works;
- You can register in the service very easily and quickly using a questionnaire;
- You can communicate as much as you like for a small daily fee;
- Thanks to strict anonymity, phone numbers and other information about users are hidden, as are their real names - nicknames are used.
Here's something else I want to draw your attention to:
- at the very beginning there is an opportunity to test the offer - a free one-time dating test drive;
- not all tariffs support this option;
- The user who fills out the form automatically agrees to have his location determined.
