USSD codes for connecting to the Internet on MegaFon

Owners of package tariffs should enable the “Auto-renewal” option so that the operator automatically adds an Internet package after using up the main traffic for the package, if you do not use unlimited. This will allow you to significantly reduce costs while receiving additional traffic at a special price.

In order not to be left without high-speed Internet at the right time, you need to activate auto-renewal through your personal account, but you can refuse automatic renewal using the command *105*1500#.

Megafon personal account: description and capabilities

Fewer and fewer users are asking operators for help, preferring to personally deal with problems that arise. Operators are cooperative, and therefore do everything so that users can set everything up quickly and easily themselves.

After all, this not only reduces the load on the company’s specialists, but also attracts more clients - the easier the settings, the more people with any level of PC use will understand them.

The operator has a service where you can get help, but you still need to access your account there. Having received a password for a Megafon personal account, be it personal or corporate, users have the following options (Figure 2):

1. It is convenient to replenish your balance and control it.
2. Automatic payment is set up.
3. You can get more information about bonuses, see their balance and use them.
4. Transfer money between subscribers.
5. Follow the limits.
6. Request payment details.
7. Find information about offers and services, enable or disable them.
8. Communicate with consultants directly from your computer, etc.
