Let's sum it up
We looked at the most popular ways to find out your Megafon number if you recently bought a SIM card or simply forgot your phone.

If there is a relative or friend nearby with whom the subscriber at least occasionally communicates on the phone, you can ask him for the combination. Do you often forget your number and have to go through the identification process over and over again? Create a note with the numbers you need and save it in the device memory.
If you have any questions
If you have any questions about changing your Megafon phone number online yourself, just log into your personal account, which every user has, and ask your question. Here's what you need to do:
- Open personal account;
- Go to the “Help” section;
- Find the “Open chat” icon for contacting support and describe the question.
You can also call the operator at phone number 8 (800) 550 5858
Finally, let’s note how you can notify your contact list about a number change.
The operator offers a special service. Callers on the old phone will hear a notification about the data change and will be able to find out the current new phone number in order to call you. The opportunity is connected automatically.
Via mobile menu
Use the mobile menu, through which you can find out all the necessary information about your number and including the number itself, you need to dial the command *105# and press the call button. To manage the menu, you need to enter the number of each menu item through the phone keypad and press the call button.
This method is a little similar to those described earlier, a certain command is also used, but it is a little more complicated, since not every user will understand how the operator’s mobile menu works the first time. But this does not mean that this option is bad, it is many times more functional and allows you to find out other data on your number.
Ways to change your number yourself
For those subscribers who cannot or do not want to visit mobile phone stores, there are several options for changing the number on their own:
- Using the “Service Guide” through your personal account. First, you need to log into your personal account on the operator’s official website. Then install this service and select from the menu. Having selected a number from the free options provided, you should confirm the actions by sending a specific USSD command from your mobile phone. Or leave a request in the "Support" section. After reviewing the application by MegaFon specialists, available numbers will be sent.
- Using USSD commands. To change the number using this method, you need to dial a simple combination *105#, then the call button. Various services provided by the operator will be displayed on the screen; you need to select “Services - number change”. Next, you will be able to select a number from the proposed list. With just a few combinations you can change your number without spending a lot of free time on this procedure.
- With the help of a hotline consultant. To change the number, but leave the old SIM card as the next option, you need to contact the company manager by calling the service line at 0500 or 0505. This method is the most understandable, since all the actions will be performed by a specialist. And the subscriber only has to provide information to prove his identity, answer questions and make a choice in favor of one of his favorite combinations of numbers. The subscription fee is one-time and depends on the room class.
Changing a MegaFon number can cost from 60 rubles, provided the numbers in the number are standard, and more. Also, there is a choice of rooms from the “Bronze” and “Silver” collections costing from 750 to 5000 rubles. To purchase a “Gold” and “Platinum” number, you will have to go to the nearest MegaFon office. In the operator’s salon, you can not only choose a unique number, but also order the desired one.
One of the main advantages of changing numbers yourself is the ability to do this at any convenient time of the day and in a very short period of time.
It is possible to change not only the federal, but also the city number, or replace them with each other. Their main difference is the number of digits and type, the federal one begins with the city code, and the city one is similar to the home one.
How to determine an anonymous number?
Many subscribers do not like it when they receive calls from hidden numbers. If anonymous calls become intrusive, you can use the “Super Caller ID” option from Megafon. With its help, the subscriber's phone will be able to identify calls hidden by any of the two methods given in the article above.
But such a service will not be cheap. The subscription payment is 1,500 rubles per month. The option is activated automatically after sending an SMS message with any text to the number 5502. You can also activate “Super Caller ID” using a simple USSD combination *502#.
If necessary, the service can be deactivated by sending the word “OFF” to 5502 or making a call via USSD code *502*4#.
When you don’t want to spend significant amounts of money on SuperAON, but anonymous calls continue to arrive, you can protect yourself from them using the “Black” list, a free service offered by Megafon to its subscribers.
Conditions under which it is impossible to change the number
Before using this service, the following parameters and conditions must be met:

Alternative Methods
In addition to these methods, there are several other solutions:
