How to turn off the Internet on Megafon on your phone

When connecting a Megafon number, Internet access is automatically activated. If you do not intend to use the network on your device or the subscription fee is too high for your budget, then data transfer on the network and services for a subscription fee can be removed. In this article we will look at how to do this using a USSD request and SMS message, through the application and the operator’s personal account, calling the service center and visiting a communication store. We will also tell you how to remove data transfer on the device itself.

How to disconnect mobile Internet from Megafon

The operator provides its subscribers with several ways to disable the Internet, so everyone can choose the one that seems more convenient to them:

through your personal account;
through the operator;
personally visit the company office;
via USSD service;

When the Internet is not needed on this equipment, it makes sense to remove it. To do this, in the device settings, go to the “Network” section, where there are two items: 3G and Cellular data, both of them are turned off.

Turning off the network on the Windows platform: on equipment with operating systems, turning off the Internet is just as easy as on other options. You need to use the network settings menu again and set the switch to the off position.

SMS notification

You can also disable the option that provides access to the Internet via a regular SMS message.

Dial SMS to number 0500.
The text of the SMS message depends on the tariff:

tariff-S – 05009122;
tariff-M – 05009123;
tariff-XL – 05009125;
Taraf-L – 05009124;

After this, wait for a notification about the service being disconnected.

Attention! SMS notifications are charged according to the operator's tariffs.

Its connection is absolutely free - to do this, dial the combination *370*1# and press “call”. As a result, traffic volume is restored. As a result, the subscriber has another 24 hours to use the network until he resolves issues with paying for the package.

For 40 rubles, the user has access to 30 MB of high-speed traffic. At the same time, you can connect it several times during the day. If the own volume provided for by the tariff has not yet been fully used, then activation of this option is not available - the subscriber must first use previously paid traffic.

Operator tariffs without Internet and subscription fees

If you don’t need mobile Internet at all, you can choose tariffs that do not initially provide such a service - these are Per-Second or Per-Minute.

Per second tariff

This tariff does not have a subscription fee, so you will only have to pay for the seconds spent talking. To connect it, you need to contact the company’s office, since the operator does not provide services for switching to this tariff in other ways. At the same time, this tariff also includes Internet, but payment will be charged according to the MB spent.

Per minute tariff

The per-minute tariff, or in other words “Go to zero”, is distinguished by the absence of a subscription fee and an expanded package of services. By switching to it, you will be charged for the Internet only if you use it. Moreover, communication within the network is completely free. The operator rounds the seconds of conversation to minutes.

Attention! Different regions of the country may have different tariffs for calls, SMS messages and the Internet, so before choosing one of these tariffs, carefully read the tariffs in your region. You can find out more about tariffs on the official website of the mobile operator or in your personal account.

Disabling the Internet on your phone is not difficult for any subscriber, so if you no longer need it, then feel free to refuse the service in any convenient way!

What is better to use instead of auto-renewal?

If a subscriber has set a ban on auto-renewal and does not want to use the option, but requires additional traffic packages, you can independently connect the required number of MB or GB as they are exhausted. In this way, the user can monitor expenses more carefully and not spend more than planned due to automatic services.

It is possible to connect additional packages both within the terms of the current tariff, that is, using the options included in the subscription fee, and through individual services. All of them are presented in the list of available ones in the personal account and mobile application.

Automatic connection of Internet packages may not be convenient for everyone. This option is especially annoying in cases where you need to save a certain amount in your account, but the connection to the mobile hotspot is not controlled. In this case, the subscriber can prohibit the activation of additional packages or independently deactivate the option.
