Megafon is considered the most popular and popular mobile operator in the Russian Federation. A distinctive feature of this organization is the regular development of products for mobile communications and interesting promotions for regular customers. If you are a client of the Megafon operator, then you can easily receive a virtual loan to your phone number, which can later be withdrawn to your card account. Some users prefer to use money for virtual purchases in a network of retail stores, as well as pay for various types of services.
Features of applying for a loan on a phone account
The Megafon operator allows one client to have several accounts at the same time. The main requirement is that all SIM cards must be registered to the same person. The funds received may be on the balance of the mobile phone number. The client must first obtain a virtual card, which will be used to carry out financial transactions in the future.
The Megafon operator has an international payment system. As a result of the seminar held in Barcelona on February 25, a memorandum was signed on further cooperation in the mobile financial services market. Each client has the right to receive a service called “Credit to phone account.”
At Megafon, this procedure is considered a new stage in the development of services. Users can receive a certain amount to a plastic card account or to a subscriber’s virtual account.
Important! You can submit an application through the mobile application. Thus, every Megafon client can get the necessary loan without leaving home. Funds can be used according to the client's wishes.
Borrow money from Megafon when you turn on the “Promised payment”
A specialized option will be useful to those clients who have used up all the funds on their balance, but still need to make calls or send SMS. The option is provided under the following conditions:
- when a user spends more than 1,000 rubles on mobile communications within a month, he is given a loan in the amount of 150 rubles;
- if expenses range from 400 to 1000 rubles monthly, the client is offered no more than 75 rubles for a loan;
- when spending from 30 to 400 rubles, the loan does not exceed 50 rubles.
All this applies if a person has been using the company’s services for more than three months. Otherwise, the client gets the opportunity to borrow no more than 15 rubles.
This option can be used up to several times. In this case, the previous debt must be repaid before the person plans to take out a new loan. The loan term usually does not exceed three days. For those who are newly formed users, the loan is provided for no more than one day. If the requirements are not met, the operator has the right to disconnect the user from the network and block the number until funds are credited to the balance.
The service cannot be provided if the client has already activated the “Turbo Button” option, or is a network user in Tajikistan. Otherwise there are no restrictions.
Linking the card to the Megafon system

Answers to frequently asked questions about taking out a specific product on credit
How to buy a smartphone in installments? To buy a phone in installments, you need to choose the model you like and make sure whether it has the possibility of lending. After this, you and a service center specialist fill out an application to the bank, providing personal data and the necessary documents. Or you can apply for installments online. After you fill out and send the required data to the bank, a bank employee will call you and notify you of the bank’s decision.
How can I find out the monthly payment amount? You can view this information in the payment schedule, which was generated during the loan application process and approved by the bank. You can also contact a bank employee directly and consult with him.
Can another person make the monthly payment? Yes, it can be a person you trust, and you can leave him the details and amount for payment.
If I decide to repay the installment plan early, how do I do it? There are two types of early repayment: early partial repayment and early repayment (return in a single payment of the remaining amount in installments). In both options, an application to the bank is required. Where, the amount by which you intend to overpay is indicated. In case of early repayment of the entire loan, you must give the bank a statement stating this.
If I have paid more than the monthly payment. What will be the difference? If, for some reason, you did not have time to complete and submit an application to the bank about this, then the “difference” will remain in the account, and the monthly amount will be debited. Starting from the date you write the application, the “balance” will be divided into equal parts for the entire repayment period. The same will happen if you decide to pay off the “balance” in one payment. The monthly payment will thus be reduced. The total loan term will remain.
