But if you don’t want to spend any more money on this option, then we’ll tell you how to turn off music instead of a beep on Megafon.

How to turn off music instead of a beep on Megafon

- Connecting a song costs 90 rubles.
- Daily subscription fee from 2 rubles.
In general, if you don’t want to pay, and you are satisfied with the usual beeps when making calls, you should turn it off. There are several ways to do this:

Visit to the sales office
Personal visit to the company's office is not a popular option among subscribers. It is better to refuse it, since you will have to spend a lot of time, whereas you can disable the option yourself.
Have you decided to visit the office? Then you need:
- Go to the official website and open the map of salons.
- Find your nearest office.

- “Music box” - the advantage of this option is a one-time payment from 30 to 180 rubles. But there is also a drawback: you will only enjoy the tunes that the operator offers.
- “One melody or joke” - there is also a one-time payment from 30 rubles. It all depends on the composition you choose. The higher her status, the more expensive she is.
- “Music channel” - payment is daily: from 1 to 5 rubles per day.

You also need to know that by activating the “Replace beep” option with Megafon, turning off the previous beeps and not using any of the services will cost you three rubles daily. And your permanent melody will be “Megaphone Anthem” until you turn to the services of a mobile operator.
If you liked the tone of the Megafon client you called, you can press * while it is sounding, and this tune will automatically become yours.
Connection
This option can be activated in several different ways. This is about:
- Connecting through the voice menu, which can be reached by calling 0770;
- Activate the option by entering the appropriate USSD format code on your smartphone. The code looks like this: *770*11#;
- Sending an empty text message to 0770 to activate;

- call;
- message;
- command set;

- Online.
The only difference between activation and deactivation is that you need to send an empty field in the SMS message, and enter 11 instead of 12 in the command.
It happens that you cannot disable the option using any of these methods. Or a Megafon subscriber does not want to understand the intricacies of combinations or waste time registering on the site. In this case, you can call the operator. By contacting the customer service at 0500, the subscriber can ask to remove the service from the list of connected ones.

Horn service
One of the most popular services from Megafon, which every mobile user has encountered more than once, is “Replace the Hooter”.
Its essence is that the caller, while waiting for an answer at the other end of the line, hears not dull monotonous beeps, but melodies or comic stories. Moreover, the option can be connected both around the clock and only during certain hours, for example, from 8 to 20 hours.
Music instead of beeps brings variety to the routine of monotonous working days, energizes you and lifts your spirits even before the telephone conversation.
If the subscriber wants to choose a specific composition that will greet people calling him, in this case it will come to the rescue. You can choose one single melody or a set of several, which will alternately replace each other throughout the paid period. This is the so-called “Music Box”. The melodies included in each box are added to your personal account and configured separately.
Subscribers are presented with completely different options to choose from – from classical music to chart leaders and hit parades that are constantly heard on the radio. The content is conveniently divided into categories, for example, Russian music or jazz. Also, in addition to music, you can choose pranks or jokes; they are collected in the “humor” section.
If the subscriber does not want to pay additionally for the melody, he can view free offers.
What does it offer?
The melodies installed using this option have higher priority than those selected using the “Replace tone” option, which allows you to replace beeps with a melody for incoming calls. Thus, the subscriber with “Personal beep” chooses and sets the melody that he wants to hear while waiting for an answer.
An important point is to use a general profile and music library for both services. This means that purchased and added replacement options are available for installation in both cases. The settings for turning on melody for groups or specific subscribers are independent and are set for each service separately.
The set individual sound signals are not played if:
- the call is made from a roaming zone;
- the called client is blocked due to lack of funds in the account;
- An answering machine is active on the called number;
- the called client at the time of receiving the call uses the “Multiphone” option (in the “PC Only” or “PC and GSM” modes).
