How to disable the tariff on Megafon: instructions

The rule is that if the SIM card has not been used for 90 days, the number is subject to deactivation without any other conditions. This is a complete suspension of the company's services.

At the same time, many users often need to either temporarily disable the tariff on Megafon or block the SIM card. I will explain in detail how you can do both in different ways.

Office visit

You can cancel the tariff on Megafon and replace it with another offer during a personal visit to the sales salon. Find a conveniently located office using the map - in the mobile application or on the website, in the “Communication shops” section to turn off the TP!

If you cannot use the Internet to remove the tariff on Megafon yourself, this is the best option. We advise you to do the following:

Select a suitable sales office;
Take your passport with you - if the contract is issued in your name, or arm yourself with a power of attorney if the SIM card was purchased by another person;
Contact an available employee and voice your desire to disable the tariff;
Consult and choose a suitable offer;
The employee will independently activate the new tariff plan - you just need to give the code from the SMS message.

Bonus! If you decide to disable the Megafon tariff at a communication store, you can count on buying a SIM card with a beautiful number. An office employee will give you the opportunity to choose a combination of numbers!

This is not the only answer to the question of how to disable the Megafon tariff. Let's look at the other available options below.

Possible problems and their solutions

Before using one of the methods to disable a tariff plan, changing it to a more suitable option, the subscriber must know:

It is not necessary to switch to another tariff if the problem is increased costs for operator services. In most cases, this can be solved by disabling or changing additional services and enabling options that help you save.
If too much money is withdrawn from the phone account, and it was not possible to find the reason on your own, the subscriber is recommended to call the Megafon support service or contact the operator’s communication center. It is possible that the issue will be resolved without the need to disable the tariff plan.
If you can’t get through to the operator the company’s client is contacting the first time, you should repeat the call later. The best time to call 0500 and 0505 is on a weekday, during standard business hours.

Important: A subscriber switching to another service package should be sure to familiarize himself with the terms of the new offer. This will allow you to avoid additional costs due to automatically connecting unnecessary services and eliminate the need to disable a new tariff plan in the near future.

Call support

A competent support representative will help you turn off the tariff on Megafon - this method is suitable for new subscribers who do not understand the intricacies of their personal account.

All that is required to successfully solve the problem and disable the tariff:

Dial the combination 0500 or 0505 – the call is absolutely free;
Wait for the operator’s response and voice the question;
Be prepared to give your full name, passport details and code word;
The support operator will give the necessary instructions for changing the tariff plan or carry out all the manipulations for you. Ready!

The downside of this method is the long wait. Try to call during less busy hours to get a quick connection to the support service and turn off the TP.

Below you will see the third option - let's look at how to disable the tariff plan on Megafon yourself.

Basic methods

There are four main ways to disable the Megafon tariff. To change the connected service package to a more suitable option, you can use your Personal Account or mobile application - although such actions require an Internet connection. If you don’t have access to the Network, you can turn off the tariff by contacting Megafon’s support service, or, if you have time, by visiting one of its offices.

Call to operator

If a subscriber who has not figured out the tariff plans on their own needs help from a Megafon representative, the easiest way to get it is to call 0500 or 0505. Calls are free from both mobile numbers and landlines. You can call support 24 hours a day.

The shift process by calling the operator consists of the following stages:

Prepare a passport, the data from which may be needed to switch tariffs.
Call 0500 or 0505.
Wait for a response (from 1 to 5 minutes at normal times, up to 10 minutes during peak hours).
Ask for help with turning off the tariff and follow his instructions.

The advantage of this method is the minimal risk of making a mistake when changing the tariff. The disadvantage is the need to wait for the consultant’s response. Moreover, sometimes you can’t get through the phone the first time, and you have to call again.

Office visit

Another way to turn off the tariff on Megafon is to turn it off at the company’s office. This option is suitable for subscribers who find it more convenient to contact company employees in person than to call or use the Internet. Before visiting, do not forget your passport, which you will need to transfer to another contract.

You should know: The address of the nearest office can be found using the USSD command. To do this, just send a request *123# from your phone and wait for a response. There are office addresses for each locality on the main Megafon website.

The procedure is as follows:

Visit the office.
Contact company employees with a request to turn off the tariff.
Provide your number and present your passport, the data of which will be used to disable services and tariffs.
Choose the appropriate option in consultation with a consultant. If you need to temporarily refuse Megafon services in order to save money, it is recommended to connect to a tariff plan without a subscription fee.
Wait until the employee completes all operations and confirm the plan change by sending the code received via SMS message.

The disadvantage of this option is the need to spend time visiting the office. But, if the subscriber does not care what phone number he will have, here you can purchase a new SIM card with a suitable tariff plan. Sometimes this is faster and more convenient than completely disabling old services.

Personal Area

One of the easiest ways to cancel your old tariff plan is to use your Personal Account on the Megafon website. To use the technique, you will need a computer with an Internet connection and any browser.

The course of action of a company client who is going to turn off the tariff:

Go to the Megafon website.
Log in to your Personal Account by entering your password and login (by registering first, if the subscriber has not done so before).
Find the window labeled “Tariff” and click on it.
Review the information on your tariff plan.
Proceed to change the tariff by selecting the appropriate item (the first inscription after the description).
Select the appropriate option from the list that opens.

It is impossible to disable a tariff plan completely, without choosing a new one. When switching to a new tariff, the old one is automatically switched off.

Mobile app

The last way to disable a tariff on Megafon requires the subscriber to switch to a new plan using an application on a smartphone. The program is a mobile version of the Personal Account and works on any operating system - iOS, Android or Windows Phone. You can download the application on the company's website.

To enter your Personal Account, enter the same password and login that are needed for authorization in the browser. In the application form that opens, you need to select the tariff section and proceed to change them. You can disable your old tariff plan only when switching to a new one.

Personal Area

All operator users have a personal account - you can open it through an application on a smartphone or on the official website.

On the main screen you need to find the “Rates” tab;

A description of your tariff will appear in front of you. At the bottom of the page, click on the “Change tariff” section;

Select an option from the list yourself and click on the “Details” button, and then on “Go” to disable Megafon’s old tariff plan.

All the methods described above answer the question of how to cancel the Megafon tariff by replacing it with another tariff plan. If you want to disable completely, choose other options!

Internet shutdown

The only Megafon tariffs that can be completely disabled are the Internet options. If you don't want to pay extra, turn off unnecessary services. For example, if you do not use mobile Internet, and a certain fee is charged for it, then you can turn it off. The easiest way to do this is in the user's personal account.

Step-by-step instruction:

go to the company website;
select the “Personal Account” section;
To log in, enter your number and password. If you do not know your password, you can get it by dialing *105*00#;
after authorization, go to the section “src=”https://tarifam.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/otkluchit-podpiski-megafon-2-2-e1532118874151.png” class=”aligncenter” width=” 710″ height=”484″[/img]
This section will provide a list of all connected services. Find the Internet among them. Next, click on the disable option and confirm the operation;
if necessary, you can turn off other unnecessary paid services in the same way.

If you know which option is enabled, then use short USSD commands or send an SMS to disable it.

Internet option	USSD shutdown code	SMS request with the text STOP
S	23600#	05009122
M	23600#	05009124
L	23600#	05009124
XL	23600*#	05009125
XS	23600#	05009121

Refusal of communication services

Let's talk about how to disable all tariffs on Megafon. If you are not satisfied with the quality of services or cost, you can find a better offer from another operator. In this case, you should terminate the contract with the company - you don’t want to overpay for an unused SIM card?

There are a variety of options available to users - you can do the following:

Dial the support number 0500 or 0550;
Wait for a connection with a specialist and voice your wishes;
You must provide your passport details, full name and code word - the SIM card must be issued to you;
In a few minutes you will receive a notification about tariff deactivation.

Don't want to talk on the phone? To disable your old Megafon tariff plan, go to the sales office:

Take with you your passport and a contract for the provision of communication services (if you have one0;
Contact the available employee and express your desire to terminate the contract;
Fill out the required form and answer all questions;
Make sure you are satisfied with the result!

There is a third option - you can refuse to use a SIM card. After some time it will become inactive automatically:

If the balance is positive on day 45, a ruble will be withdrawn from the user’s account daily;
If there are no signs of activity, on day 90 the card will be blocked by the operator without the possibility of restoring the number.

Is it possible to completely disable the tariff on MegaFon

The subscriber simply needs to not use his number in any way for more than 3 months. Then the mobile operator will disconnect the connection and take the number into the database. This is not so easy to do due to the fact that current TPs have packet traffic, and payment for it is made every month, regardless of the subscribers’ use of communications. Therefore, it would be wiser to switch to a tariff with per-minute billing and refuse communication services until the contract is automatically terminated.

However, if the user wants to temporarily abandon his TP, then the mobile operator MegaFon provides the ability to block the SIM card. In this case, the refusal of services will occur for a set period and after the specified time, communication services will be resumed at the previous tariff.

Number transfer

Are such radical measures necessary? New features allow subscribers to transfer their usual combination of numbers to another operator!

Contact the new company - through the website or support phone number, you can come to the sales showroom;
Ask for the “Transition with your number” procedure;

Fill in the required data and wait for a response - after a while the service will start automatically;
As soon as you receive confirmation of the transfer, the old communication contract with Megafon will be automatically canceled.

We gave a detailed answer to the question of whether it is possible to disable the tariff on Megafon. The choice of further actions is yours - use the appropriate method to improve the quality of communication, save money, or change the operator to another company.

How to refuse

Subscribers of not all Megafon tariff plans can disable the service. Since the mobile operator offers a huge number of different lines, it makes no sense to analyze each of them separately in the context of one article. Representatives of the technical support service comment on this situation as follows: if a subscriber wants to refuse automatic payment, he should call the hotline. Current numbers are listed on the company's official website. Megafon employees will inform the user about the opportunity to deactivate the service on a specific tariff plan.

If you do not use the SIM card for a long time

When a subscriber remains inactive for 45 days (that is, does not perform any actions with his number), then the operator begins to charge a commission of 15 rubles per day from his balance. In this case, the commission will be charged until the balance reaches zero. If the balance remains zero for 90 days, the number goes on sale and becomes available for purchase to other subscribers.

It is impossible to cancel these charges, but they can be prevented if you use the services at least once every three months and periodically top up your account.

Advantages and disadvantages of Manage line tariffs

Megafon's solutions for corporate clients are focused on Internet services. For example, MegaFon Online Corporate, which provides 1 MB for 1 ruble. The advantage of “Manage” is an integrated approach to business needs, that is:

lack of tariffs for the main channels of interaction between the client and the customer,
the ability to create an individual package of services,
such additional options as a city number or an easy-to-remember number.

At the same time, the presence of a fixed fee can be identified as a disadvantage, which is not always convenient for a novice entrepreneur. In this case, post payment would be more convenient.

In order to manage each employee’s own time and work schedule as efficiently as possible, it is worth paying attention to communication. Thanks to our understanding of business needs, Megafon created the “Manage!” line of tariffs, which can be easily customized to suit your needs without overpaying for anything unnecessary.

Most frequently used paid services

Conditionally paid functions can be divided into 2 types:

Now this function from Megafon is more of a burden than a pleasure. Such services can be activated without the subscriber’s knowledge. For example, when you go to a certain site, or “thanks to” spam emails. Moreover, there is no information on how to disable it. But let’s be honest, sometimes the user is not notified about enabling the function. The realization comes after the fact, when it comes time to pay for the subscription.

What paid services can be disabled without compromising quality?

To reduce expenses on mobile communications, without losing the benefits of using additional services from Megafon, it is recommended to disable optional entertainment add-ons.

But at the same time, you need to act based on your preferences. It's simple: you need to turn off what you don't use. If today's weather alerts help you make plans, let them stay.

Attention! You may simply not notice some connected services, since their presence does not mean receiving SMS or other notifications.

In order to know exactly where the money is “flowing” from the subscriber account, you need to find out the entire list of connected paid services.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's list the advantages of this offer:

Optimal packages of minutes and SMS.
Attractive price.
Low cost of calls above the package.
The plan is ideal for communication.
Unlimited calls within the operator's network.
No roaming when traveling within Russia.

Flaws:

You cannot freely connect to the tariff.
There is no Internet traffic package.
This plan is not suitable for all subscribers.

How to disable paid services

Due to the variety of additional operator functions, developed taking into account the interests and needs of all categories of clients, there is no single command for disabling paid services. Each option has its own connection and deactivation method. At the same time, general recommendations provide the following options for terminating paid functionality:

Subscriber’s personal account on the official Megafon website - the ability to disable a subscription is presented in the “Services and Options” section.

The moy-m-portal.ru service allows you to cancel the service presented in the “My subscriptions” tab in one click in mobile Internet mode.

Sending the text message “Stop XX” to the short number 5151, where XX means the subscription code. Information about codes can be obtained on the operator’s official website or on the partner subscription catalog page podpiskimf.ru.

A USSD request in the format *505# will provide an SMS list of connected services and commands to deactivate them.

Accessing the service menu *105# is a way to check which paid services are connected to the Megafon subscriber number, as well as receive instructions on how to disable them.

In addition, there is always the opportunity to use the help of a Megafon specialist by calling the Customer Support Center numbers 0500 and 0500559 or personally visiting one of the operator’s offices.

Change of plan

Another way to disable the previous tariff is to change it to another. To do this, you need to use the connect command. You can make the transition in various ways. However, the easiest way to carry out this procedure is by sending a message or USSD code. You can do this as follows:

Go to the operator's resource.
In the site menu, select the “Tariffs” section, then select the “Other” item.
After this, a page will open on which all offers from the operator will be presented.
Select the option you like and click the “Go” button.
Next, you will be offered all the transition options. Among them is sending a message.
Send a message to the specified number and enter the appropriate text that is indicated on the site.
After this, the operation will be completed successfully.

“Tariff Upgrade” option Megafon – what is it, connection and disconnection

“Tariff upgrade” from Megafon cannot be found on the official website. The option of the same name is mentioned only in the subscribers’ personal account, where each user who meets the conditions is able to activate the offer and profitably modify their own telephone connection. At the same time, the operator does not explain in any way the lack of information on the official portal, so customers will have to come to terms with the current situation and understand the features of using the new option without visiting the site. Fortunately, it is not difficult to find the necessary information and understand all the important nuances and details of connecting and operating the service. The easiest way is to read the description below.

How to transfer money from Megafon to Megafon. All ways

What is a “Tariff Upgrade” in Megafon?

“Tariff upgrade” is the introduction of small permitted changes to the existing conditions of cellular communication. They consist of increasing the user’s available packages of minutes and gigabytes. At the same time, subscribers are required to use the volumes offered by operators to make changes. The telephone company allows you to increase call time by (the amount of the increase in the subscription fee in rubles is indicated in parentheses):

100 minutes (120);
200 minutes (210);
300 minutes (315).

When talking about traffic, users are asked to activate (price in brackets):

There is no way to reduce packages. In addition, actual prices may differ from those indicated, since each region of the country has its own economic characteristics that affect the operator’s pricing policy.

How to upgrade your tariff?

To upgrade your Megafon tariff, you must meet the conditions imposed by the company on those wishing to use the service. There is only one condition - you need to use the following tariffs of the Get Involved! line:

There are no other requirements.

If the user meets the conditions, the following will remain:

An effective way to disconnect on Megafon

Visit the official portal of the operator and log in.
Turn on the options section and find the one you need.
Make planned changes.
Save the final call and internet settings.

After that, all that remains is to take care of replenishing the SIM card balance with an amount no less than the updated subscription fee. There is no need to do anything additional.

Call to operator

The indicated method is best suited for those clients who do not know or cannot change the tariff themselves. The main advantage of this method is that all necessary actions will be performed by a company employee for the subscriber.

Step-by-step instructions for implementing this method:

dial the number - 0500 and tap the call button (connection using the provided phone number is free for subscribers located in the Russian Federation);
wait for the connection (usually this takes a few seconds, however, due to the high workload of operators, the connection time may be increased);
after connecting to the operator, ask to change your tariff plan;
the employee will ask you for your phone number and code word;
after that you will need to select a new tariff;
Then the employee will perform the necessary actions;
then, a notification with a code will be sent to the phone you named. To agree to the operation, you just need to send this code to the same number.

Features of tariffs - useful options included in tariffs

The new tariffs include a number of useful options that subscribers will definitely appreciate.

Protection against paid subscriptions

Protection against accidental paid subscriptions is provided. Here this option is set by default. When trying to subscribe, the user receives a Push notification; only after responding to it will the subscription be completed.

Messengers are available even at zero

On all tariffs you can use WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, TamTam, e-Motion messengers even with a zero balance. If the balance is negative, messengers work for one month, then this function is disabled.

Gigabytes are saved and accumulated

You can distribute mobile Internet without restrictions. If you have a certain Internet package, the traffic will be distributed until the limit is exhausted. If we are talking about unlimited Internet, then traffic can be distributed in any volume.

Ability to transfer unused Internet traffic to subsequent periods. This service is called “Piggy Bank”. Depending on the tariff, the subscriber’s piggy bank can be 25, 50 or 100 GB in size, and it does not expire. For example, a subscriber did not fully use up the limit in the summer, and it switched to the fall. If necessary, the user reaches into the piggy bank and takes the missing amount. This is a rather convenient thing that many subscribers will like. But it’s worth remembering that first the traffic from the package is spent, and only then the limit from the “Piggy Bank” is spent.

Of course, we need to look in practice at how MegaFon will limit those who try to download terabytes using unlimited packages, distributing traffic to others. However, do not forget about the strength of the network reserve of this operator. Therefore, most likely, even such subscribers are unlikely to encounter any restrictions on the speed and volume of data transfer. For many users, this point will be fundamental when choosing a tariff. That is, the ability to share the Internet unlimitedly is a pretty strong move.

Tips: how not to overpay

Knowing how to disable unwanted services is, of course, useful. However, it is much better to avoid such situations altogether. Some tips on how not to become a “hostage” of paid services:

Filter content. Internet surfing is a useful thing, but it is better to avoid clicking on dubious links. You can set special filters in your mobile browser settings that will warn you of potential dangers.
The same applies to emails that automatically end up in the Spam folder. The email application system thus warns you about the possible danger of the message.
Before activating free offers, you should make sure that they are truly free. In any case, you can cancel your subscription when the free time of using the offer expires.
In the Megafon office you can activate the “Banning entertainment services”. The procedure is free.
Using the Service Guide or Personal Account, it is easy to control and track the debiting of funds from your account.
Issue a subscription ban. Send SMS “USTZAPRET1” to number 5151. The duration of the block is 3 months.

You have the right to know what you pay for. Following this simple advice will help you get rid of unnecessary expenses on mobile communications. Otherwise, you can always disable additional services from Megafon in any available way.
