To control the option, add or remove close consumers, dial *438#. It is managed by the subscriber who consents to the verification of his personal data.

If after entering the USSD command nothing appears on the screen, then perhaps the system is currently overloaded, or technical or repair work is underway on the line. Try repeating the request after some time or select a different verification method.

You no longer need to worry about how to check your account on Megafon. After each action that entails debiting funds from the phone or after replenishing it, up-to-date information about the amount of remaining funds appears on the phone screen.
