Megafon, like all other cellular communication companies, has developed and uses special codes in telephone numbers. However, few users are aware of what these codes are, what they are needed for, and what they generally look like. This is exactly what we will be looking into today.
Megafon, like all other cellular communication companies, has developed and uses special codes in telephone numbers. However, few users are aware of what these codes are, what they are needed for, and what they generally look like. This is exactly what we will be looking into today.
Why are Megafon codes required by region?
Not every subscriber understands what this code is and where it is located. Have you ever paid attention to those first three digits in the number that immediately follow “+7” or “8”? If not, then in vain, because these numbers are the very code. For example, in the telephone number “+7-929-000-00-00” the code numbers are “-929-”.
The phone number is fictitious, so do not try to call it.
But what is their purpose? After all, if all phone numbers had the same code, it would be easier for people to remember them. The fact is that these numbers help determine in which region of the country a particular telephone number is registered. And since the Russian Federation has a huge number of cities, regions and regions, there are also a lot of code combinations.
It would be stupid to try to remember which region is associated with which numerical combination, since this is simply impossible and useless.

How to find out the region by code
If you have never encountered the need to determine the region of the Russian Federation by its code before, then you may have great difficulty doing this now. The first thing you should know before you start identifying a region using digital code combinations is that the same combination can refer to several parts of Russia at once .
For example, the numbers “929” and “999” refer to almost every part of our country, some other number combinations, although not as common, are also assigned to several regions of the Russian Federation at once, for example, the number combination “930” is assigned to Belgorod , Bryansk, Vladimir and other regions.
In this picture it is written in brief form which numerical combination belongs to which section of the country. More details below.

Peculiarities
From the information we presented above, it is necessary to highlight some points in order to clearly understand the whole picture. MegaFon is one of the largest cellular operators in Russia, the coverage that the green brand provides reaches all corners of the country and even moreover, goes beyond the territorial borders of the state. Don’t be surprised if, while relaxing on the Sea of Azov, you catch MegaFon from the Ukrainian side. Of course, this may just be roaming.
Thus, MegaFon currently has twelve current and unique passwords for phone numbers. For simplicity and understanding of the information presented, we will give you this example. The list below contains all the codes for the above regions of the country, but there is one nuance; we indicated before the combination of numbers (+7), maybe also (+8) - this is the identifier of the mobile operator MegaFon. The numbers (495 and 925) are direct Moscow numbers, (812 and 921) are the direct number of St. Petersburg and, accordingly, (921) are the MegaFon operator code.
- +7 926;
- +7 495 (925);
- +7 812 (921);
- +7 931;
- +7 920;
- +7 922;
- +7 923;
- +7 924;
- +7 927;
- +7 928;
- +7 937;
- +7 929;
- +7 930;
- +7 932;
- +7 938;
- +7 933;
- +7 939.
In your smartphone, you can set all the MegaFon numbers presented above to accurately identify which region you were called from and accordingly you will know exactly where you are calling. Why might this be needed? At least so that you keep your balance on your phone intact, because if you call a neighboring or any other region of the country, the tariff for one minute of conversation increases.
Also, when staying in another region, you should understand that the cost of one megabyte of Internet traffic also increases. To save money, you can install “Mobile Traffic Control” on your device. This option is available in the phone settings; you can also send messages to contact friends or loved ones. The numerical combinations presented above in the text are essentially the password of the mobile operator, which is necessary for registration by the system from where the call was made. This system has been actively used for many years in quick response services, such as ambulance, police, gas service, Ministry of Emergency Situations, fire department.
Is it dangerous?
Now you know how to unlock a Megafon phone for other operators. If you do something wrong, it can be dangerous, since the phone can simply be damaged by software, after which it will glitch or even stop turning on. Therefore, it is important to know exactly how to unlock a Megafon phone for other operators and weigh the pros and cons. It is possible that even after unsuccessful firmware you will be able to return to the original state, but there are no guarantees. Moreover, we remind you once again: there is no warranty for unlocked smartphones.
But many users respond positively to this unlocking method. But no one can guarantee success. Remember that the responsibility lies entirely with you. We can only wish you good luck in this operation.
What are they needed for
Why do we need Megafon region codes? Within each subject of the country, a certain number of combinations of numbers are allocated - they can be distinguished from each other using a three-digit number; each operator has its own set.
Let's figure out how you can find out the necessary information in all available ways - it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Let's figure out how you can find out the necessary information in all available ways - it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Why is this happening?
in the competition for the market, it supplies contract smartphones at a low price. And they can only use SIM cards from this operator, which is very convenient for Megafon itself. Having once sold cheaply locked phones, telecom operators sign up clients for many years who simply cannot switch to other operators (read: competitors). This is a rather cunning and effective way to develop the market, and it is practiced not only in Russia, but also in many other countries of the world. So there is nothing new in this.
Travel abroad
When you are outside the country, different rules apply and the cost of calls and internet increases. Therefore, MegaFon offers additional options for profitable communication:
- "Roaming, Goodbye." All calls to the Russian Federation and to a subscriber’s number from home are charged the same as in your region. The daily cost of the service is 349 rubles.
- To travel to distant countries, in order to stay in touch, you need to use the extended international roaming service. There are countries where the tariff delay is 30 days. The service is provided without payment.
- For those who like to relax in Abkhazia, it will be useful, which will allow you to set the cost of calls, SMS, and Internet traffic at the prices of your region. Connection costs 30 rubles. Daily service fee is 39 rubles.
MegaFon subscribers have the opportunity to connect additional minutes and calls to the subscriber's number without payment.
Travel within the Russian Federation
“Turn on” tariffs allow MegaFon subscribers to travel around the country, communicating at home with subscribers within the network. The tariff provides a certain number of minutes, after spending which you can communicate without additional payment only with subscribers who have a MegaFon number connected. Which region of the country the subscriber visits also matters. Due to the remoteness of some regions of the country, special conditions apply. These regions include:
- Republic of Crimea;
- Sevastopol;
- Taimyr MR;
- Chukotka Autonomous Okrug;
- Norilsk.
Applications
The third way is to install a mobile application. Google Play has many programs designed to determine the region of the caller. For example, the application “Where did they call and write from?” will help you quickly find out the approximate location of the subscriber. If the program is active, when there is an incoming call, information about the number will be displayed - mobile operator and region.
The main advantage of the application is the constantly updated database of mobile operators. The program helps to identify numbers in many countries, and detailed information is displayed next to missed calls. In addition to calls, the utility works with SMS messages.
