In this article we will touch upon the issue of re-issuing a Megafon SIM card to yourself. At first glance, this is not a mandatory procedure. Let's take a closer look. Here is a minimum list of reasons in favor of immediately re-registering:
- By restoring the SIM card, the real owner can gain access to your online banking, SMS banking, and call details.
- When contacting the operator’s contact service to connect or disconnect some services, you will have to provide the owner’s passport details.
- If you lose your SIM, it will be impossible to restore it.
- The operator's office will refuse to replace your SIM card. Considering that modern phones use different chip sizes, the problem can become quite acute when purchasing a new device.
- The owner can block the number at any time.
We hope that there are no doubts left. Let's understand the procedure.
What is the document for?
A power of attorney is a legally binding document that is created when it is necessary to represent the interests of a legal entity or individual. (Article 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Megafon's power of attorney can be simple and general. How are they different, and when might this document be required?
A power of attorney in a simple form can be drawn up by hand or printed on a printer. A document should be certified by a notary only if the situation requires it. Such circumstances are provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation and are specified in clause 3 of Art. 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (read more about which powers of attorney require mandatory notarization here).
If a simple power of attorney is issued to a person, the range of actions of the attorney within the framework of this document will be limited . In addition, the trustee will be required to notify the principal of each of his actions related to the power of attorney.
Like a general power of attorney, a simple form of power of attorney must be certified. Let's give a simple example. When a person is undergoing treatment in a hospital and needs to pick up or exchange a SIM card, he has the right to draw up a power of attorney, which will be certified by the chief physician of the hospital. Or, if a citizen represents the interests of an enterprise, then certification of the document should take place in the personnel department.
With a general power of attorney, everything happens differently. Such a document must be certified by a notary. In addition, the representative of the principal’s interests is vested with a wide range of powers and is no longer obliged to inform him of each of his actions related to the power of attorney.
Note! According to paragraph 2 of Art. 188 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the principal can revoke the power of attorney at any time, just as the attorney can refuse it.

To replace
To replace a SIM card, the power of attorney must in any case be notarized. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, a power of attorney can be written in free form, but one must take into account the fact that all the rules specified above must be followed.
Due to the fact that this type of power of attorney must be certified by a notary, an official form is used to print it.
The text of the power of attorney indicates the authority to replace the SIM card at Megafon OJSC.
And upon presentation of a power of attorney drawn up in accordance with the established rules, the representative will have the absolute right to perform the actions specified in the power of attorney.
Which one to choose: simple or general?
Now let's give specific examples. At Megafon, if you have a power of attorney, you can perform the following actions:
- draw up and sign applications for refusal to use the subscriber number, as well as additional services provided with it;
- block the number;
- terminate the contract with the operator or restore service to subscriber numbers;
- replace the SIM card;
- receive from the value of a commodity-material nature;
- change tariff plan;
- refuse services or connect new ones;
- provide Megafon with the amended company data required to draw up the contract;
- receive an invoice for payment;
- request account details by written application;
- renew or terminate existing contracts with Megafon.
Important! The general power of attorney applies to all actions listed above. Downtime may include all of the above powers or some of them. It all depends on the purpose for which the document was drawn up.
Current restrictions
When re-issuing a SIM card, restrictions are imposed on sending and receiving SMS messages. The cellular manager warns the subscriber about this. It would seem that in the 21st century no one uses messages, but if a subscriber actively uses the operator, making a transfer of bank funds, he will not be able to receive messages confirming the operation within 24 hours.
The operator's client has 24 hours to notify the company about the unauthorized re-registration. This restriction applies solely for the safety of clients’ personal data.
Features of drafting from a legal entity
A power of attorney to Megafon should be executed exclusively on company letterhead indicating the TIN.
According to Art. 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, if the document does not contain the date of its commission, then it will be invalid.
Remember that the document should include the following data (Articles 185 – 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation):
- Document's name.
- Indication of the place where it was committed (city, region or village in its entirety).
- If the document is not certified by a notary office, it should still indicate the address of the certificate.
- Data of the attorney and principal – clause 1 of Art. 185 Civil Code.
For legal entities:- full name;
location address;
- registration number, if available.
For individuals:
- Full name;
- residential address.
Attention! If the principal, for health reasons, cannot put his signature on the document, then on the basis of clause 3 of Art. 160 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, this can be done by an assault person.
When can a power of attorney be issued from a legal entity to an individual?
A power of attorney is a document that gives a representative the authority to perform actions on behalf of the principal.
Legal entities can issue powers of attorney for both organizations and individuals - there are no restrictions. A document can be issued to convey any legal authority, for example:
- to carry out the procedure for registering a company with the tax authorities;
- execution of contracts with legal entities or individuals;
- submitting reports to regulatory authorities;
- representing the interests of the organization in the courts;
- carrying out the procedure for registering real estate in Rosreestr or a vehicle in the traffic police;
- receiving mail at post offices;
- opening bank accounts;
- sending and receiving material assets;
- representation of interests in the Federal Tax Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, customs and other government agencies.
A power of attorney can be issued for any transactions not prohibited by law.

How to write from an individual?
If the document is drawn up from an individual, it must indicate slightly different data that will individualize the representative’s identity: date of birth, place of registration, as well as passport details.
A power of attorney from an individual must contain the following information:
- the date when the power of attorney was drawn up (clause 1 of Article 186 of the Civil Code);
- information of the person on whose behalf the actions will be performed - full name, passport details, date of birth (clause 1 of Article 185 of the Civil Code);
- information about the representative, as well as a list of actions that he can perform within the framework of the power of attorney (clause 1 of Article 185 of the Civil Code);
- period of validity of the document;
- signature of the person who issued the power of attorney.
Features of re-registration
- Renewal of the contract is possible only in the region in which it was concluded.
- The cost of the service is the same for all operator tariffs.
- The service is provided in the presence of the new and old owner of the phone number.
- The Megafon number account must have an amount not less than the cost of re-registration.
- Only Megafon provides the opportunity to leave the balance on the number’s balance with the previous owner. The client can ask the Megafon representative to issue his money through the cash register, transfer it to a bank account or transfer it to another SIM card.
Basic design rules
A power of attorney is first and foremost a document. It can be typed on a computer or written by hand. The exception is documents for which, for example, it is necessary to obtain material assets.
For such cases, unified forms have been developed. The power of attorney must also contain the following mandatory components:
- The date on which the power of attorney was drawn up. Without it, it will be impossible to determine whether the document is currently valid or not.
- Information about the representative and the principal. Remember that lack of information or its absence is not a reason to invalidate a document.
- Signature of the principal. Without it, the document will not have legal force.
The power of attorney may also contain other information:
- the place where the document was drawn up;
- validity;
- given to the representative.
It is not necessary to disclose in detail the actions that a representative can perform, but it is advisable. This will help avoid unnecessary problems. You should especially pay attention to this if you trust a person with your money.
General information about the Beeline power of attorney
The power of attorney must be executed correctly.
A power of attorney is a paper document signed and drawn up at any operator’s office. It can be compiled for an unlimited number of persons.
A power of attorney is legitimate only if the date of signing is indicated. In addition, the document can be canceled at any time. To do this, you need to sign the appropriate application and submit it to the office.
Purpose: when needed
In a corporate environment, one employee cannot simply transfer a SIM card to another, as is done, for example, within a family. Businesses have stricter rights and responsibilities regarding cellular telephone services. In addition, communication costs must be taken into account in the enterprise documentation.
A power of attorney is needed to fully transfer the rights to use cellular equipment.
Another reason to sign a document is the transfer of a SIM card from a legal entity to an individual at will or upon dismissal. Compliance with formalities will not only allow you to fully use communication services, but also protect yourself from remote blocking and other unforeseen situations.
Nuances of drafting in different cases
To replace a SIM card
Reference! To replace a SIM card, the power of attorney must be certified by a notary.
In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, a power of attorney can be drawn up in any form in accordance with all the rules mentioned above. In addition, the document itself should indicate that the representative can replace the principal’s SIM card in the Megafon salon.
Since the document must be certified by a notary, it must be printed on the official letterhead of the organization.
Thus, by presenting a power of attorney to the employee, the representative will have every right to replace the principal’s SIM card.
To purchase this card
It is no longer necessary to have such a power of attorney certified by a notary. It is necessary to draw up the document correctly .
- You must indicate the power of attorney number at the top center. Below is the place where the document was drawn up, as well as the date when this happened.

I, (full name of the principal, date of birth, passport details) trust the representative:(the same information, but now about the representative), represent interests in MegaFon OJSC on the issue (here you must indicate the subject of the power of attorney).
To perform the functions of a representative, the trustee is granted the following powers:
(Here you need to list the actions that the principal can perform.
- At the end you must indicate:

How to properly issue a power of attorney for legal entities at Megafon
Company letterhead should be used for this purpose. Here you will need to indicate the TIN and other information about the company taken from the registration documents. The Civil Code clearly states that the absence of a date for issuing a power of attorney is a significant reason for declaring it void. For organizations, the procedure for filling out a power of attorney consists of the following important steps:
- in the center you must indicate the name of the document;
- If the power of attorney is issued by a legal entity, then it is assigned a number. It is this number and other information that is recorded in a special accounting journal;
- the date of registration and the city in which the document was issued are indicated;
- information about the principal is recorded. Information is taken from the registration documents of the organization;
- The name and position of the manager who signed the document is noted;
- similar information is indicated about the authorized person. His position, full name and other passport details are indicated;
- lists the specific actions that the attorney has the right to perform under this power of attorney. If there are many of them, it is advisable to write each action as a separate item;
- It is worth noting whether the attorney is allowed to transfer his obligations to third parties. If such a possibility is not provided for, the document must write that this is a power of attorney without the right of subrogation;
- the period during which the representative can use this document is noted;
- At the bottom, autographs are signed by the principal and the attorney.
If we are talking about a notarized power of attorney, then the document must bear the signature and seal of a lawyer. Moreover, it is noted here which particular notary office certified this document.

How much time do I need to allow for sending a power of attorney to the inspectorate?
Tax officers are required to enter the data of the new power of attorney into the system within 3 business days. But technical or legal difficulties can never be ruled out. In order not to take risks, it is better to transfer the power of attorney at least 10 days before submitting the reports.
When a power of attorney is replaced by an old one, it must be transferred no later than 15 days before the expiration of the previous document. This will allow you to avoid blocking accounts if during the period “between powers of attorney” the Federal Tax Service sends a request to the client.
To make sure that the data on the power of attorney has been entered, we recommend that you make an ION request before submitting the reports. If you receive a receipt in response, everything is in order - you can report.
