The whole process can be described step by step as follows:

• one person calls another on Megafon;
• the second person’s phone does not answer for one of the three reasons described above;
• the answering machine is turned on, which after a short greeting informs about the opportunity to leave a voice message for the recipient;
• a signal sounds;
• the person sends his greeting, which is recorded on the Megafon server;
• after a subscriber who was unavailable appears on the network, an SMS is sent to his phone with information about the call and a number where he can listen to the message left.

To listen to a voice message on Megafon, the subscriber only needs to call the short number 0525. The automatic informer will report incoming calls, the time of the call, and turn on a voice greeting. But it is important to remember that the data storage period is 1 day, after which it will be automatically deleted.

However, it bothers some cellular users, and they turn it off. Find out in detail in this material about the possibilities and methods of deactivating it.

How much does it cost and how to listen to a Megafon voice message

Essentially, voicemail is like a personal secretary. The system performs the task of an answering machine - it will voice all received voice messages if:

• the device was turned off;
• the telephone was out of communication range;
• the person was talking with another interlocutor (the device is busy).

At the moment, the service is represented by the “Who called +” option. It combines voice mail and information about all missed calls, as well as notifying the other subscriber that his interlocutor has appeared on the network (the phone has become available for a call).

The cost of Megafon voicemail to phone number 0525 is 1 ruble 20 kopecks per day. The fee is debited daily in advance, regardless of whether the client uses mail or not. That is, to stop write-offs, you need to disable the option. Then on the same day money will no longer be debited from the account. For the connection itself, no funds are charged from the balance.

Note! For those who often spend time traveling around Russia and abroad, it is useful to know that in such cases it is better to turn off voice mail. After all, if conditional forwarding is activated, the tariff will be charged twice: as an incoming call and as an outgoing call at the same time.

The client has the opportunity to listen to voicemail for free, since no money is debited from the account for calls from a mobile phone to number 0525. However, there are several conditions:

• the user calls from his own mobile phone to listen to SMS;
• dial in roaming;
• You can also dial a Moscow number from a landline (landline) telephone (the call fee is charged individually - in accordance with the tariffs of the service organization).

Important! There is no limit for listening to SMS - i.e. You can dial 0525 for free an unlimited number of times from your phone.

Voice message to number 0525: features of use

If you are going to use this service, it is important to remember the rules established by the operator:

1. You can record a maximum of 15 entries;
2. you can listen to them for 15 days;
3. the recording cannot be longer than 2 minutes.

This method makes it possible to listen to a message by number 0525 in order to be aware of the alerts left and not to lose the necessary information received during incoming calls. Therefore, if the mobile network has disappeared, the charger has run out, or you were busy with another equally important conversation, then you should not worry: you will receive a notification about the fact of a missed call and a voice message from the subscriber who left it. Therefore, the short number 0525 is useful for many people, especially those who often move around the city and lead an active lifestyle, as well as heads of companies and managers who work with many clients.

Note: the service may not be available in all tariff plans (you can check this in your personal account).

Who uses it for free

At the moment, there are several categories of users who can use the service for free until July 1, 2021 (not inclusive). These are promotions within the following plans:

• "Warm welcome";
• "Turn on."

The service is free of charge. In roaming (in any region except home) the fee is charged according to the tariff. To listen to SMS, also dial 0525.

After July 1, 2021, the client can decide for himself whether to continue using the option or not. By default, the provision of the service is considered extended. If the client wishes to disconnect, he can do so at any time on a general basis.

There are situations when it is inconvenient for a Megafon subscriber to read SMS, so his interlocutor can leave a message. That is, you can send voice SMS. The conditions are:

1. The user sends plain text to the interlocutor, and the system converts it into voice.
2. The cost for 1 SMS is 9.99 rubles.
3. Maximum length – 70 characters (only in Russian letters). You can send longer texts, but the system will divide them into equal parts of 70 characters.
4. Maximum length 2000 characters.
5. The message is sent only to Megafon clients (and not to other operators).

Note! Clients of the Ural branch can send SMS to any number of another operator. The cost is exactly the same.

2. You can activate it differently from your phone - command *105*602# and call key.
3. And if a personal account has already been created on the official page of the operator, go there, select the section with voice mail and click “Connect”.

The latter method is especially convenient, since in your personal account you can find out about all the features of voicemail, fees for the service, and get other useful information.

It is also useful to know about the parameters of this option:

Also, “Who called+” will not work if call forwarding is enabled on your number. To find out whether this service is active, go to your personal account on the operator’s website, in the section of the same name.

Answering machine on iPhone

This answering machine works on the same principle as “Who called+”: you receive SMS notifications about missed calls (indicating who from) and Megafon voice messages that callers left for you. But there are two services involved here:

1. “Answering machine for iPhone” option provided by Megafon.
2. The “Visual Answering Machine” program built into the iPhone.

Notifications about missed calls arrive as usual, in the form of SMS, and voice messages are displayed in the “Visual Answering Machine” program on your phone.

Overall, this is a stable, trouble-free service that is very easy to use. But if you have any problems (or still have questions after reading the article), you can always contact the operator’s support service by calling and 0500.

When messages come from number 0525

In some new Megafon tariff packages, this service is enabled by default. Therefore, many people ask the question what kind of number 0525 is. The service does not need to be activated so that they can leave you a message.

Notifications that a new message about a missed call has arrived in the following cases:

• If the subscriber was talking on this phone with another subscriber during an incoming call; Page describing the service on the Megafon website
• A notification will be sent to the phone if the subscriber simply does not answer the incoming call;
• If the mobile device was turned off at the time of the call; Mobile phone is turned off
• A message about incoming calls will arrive after some time if at the time of the call your phone was outside the range of the cellular network;
• Someone left a voicemail for you. Listening to a voice message

Sometimes there is no need to listen to voice messages on the 0525 phone number, since we know who called and for what purpose. The phone number of the person who created this message can tell you this. This service is not built into the package and can be either activated or disabled on the phone. If it is not necessary and distracts your attention over trifles.

Megafon answering machine connect

What is the service? When a call is received at the number of the subscriber who has activated the current option, but for some reason it remains unanswered, the caller is redirected to an answering machine. The subscriber can independently configure the forwarding conditions depending on personal preferences. If the specified parameters are met, the caller will hear a message indicating that the answering machine has turned on, and he can dictate a message.

Subsequently, the client will receive a message that there is an unread message in the Voicemail Box and instructions for reading it. The answering machine can be activated if the subscriber is unavailable, busy or there is no answer within a set period. The terms of use are similar to redirect options.

It is worth noting that the option is provided on a paid basis and is paid by the user in the amount of 3 rubles daily. This becomes the main reason for the shutdown.

Today, the Megafon answering machine application is available for owners of modern iPhones; it allows you to manage the service, record a greeting, listen to messages, and also provide messages received on the answering machine in the form of contact names, and not just faceless numbers.

To activate the service, just download the application and complete the settings. For those who have smartphones with a different operating system, the connection is made by calling number 222. Following the prompts of the autoinformer, you can set up the service and write down greeting words, because as a rule, callers are more willing to leave messages if they hear the subscriber’s voice, and not the system message.

Mobile application eMotion from Megafon

Especially for its subscribers, Megafon offers its own messenger - eMotion

.
The creators say that subscribers will be able to use the application from any device and from anywhere in the world. It has the same functions as already well-known instant messengers: Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram. Namely: synchronizing your contact list with the application, making video calls over Wi-Fi and others, calls to any numbers of other mobile operators. eMotion app web page
But the app's store rating and reviews indicate that the app is still a work in progress. It has many shortcomings and “bugs”. Let's hope that we will soon receive a working version of the application that will work stably on any platform.

Set up an answering machine Megafon

It is worth noting that voicemail only works in conjunction with the forwarding service, that is, in order to be able to listen to the message left, you must first establish in what situations the leading call will be forwarded to voicemail.

Today there are three types of conditional forwarding: due to unavailability, lack of response or busy subscriber. Each of them has its own code, which is used for configuration. The voicemail phone number to which the user should be forwarded is the answering machine service number.

But before setting up forwarding, you need to activate and configure the service itself. To connect use:

• USSD request *845# then call button;
• you can send a message to the service number 000105602, and the text of the message will not have any meaning;
• dial the symbol combination *105*602# and the call button to send a request.

To configure, you need to call 222. Following the prompts of the autoinformer, you can not only enable, but also disable the option. And also make the necessary settings. As a result, the user will receive a notification in the form of a message on their phone that the service has been successfully connected. Activating the option is free, as is disabling it. Money is charged only in the form of a daily subscription fee.

Another option is to access the capabilities of the subscriber’s personal account on the telecom operator’s website. In the section with options and services, you can disable all active services, as well as activate available ones. To do this, you need to open the desired service, move the checkbox to the on position and make the required settings.

Before connecting voicemail, you should note that it is incompatible with and when you activate the first, the second will automatically turn off. Therefore, before setting up a mailbox, you need to remove all similar services.

How to disable the service

If the user believes that this option is not useful to him and wants to disable it, then this must be done in several stages. First of all, deactivate the service itself, and then disable forwarding.

This can be done in the subscriber’s personal account. The service allows you to resolve most issues related to balance, expenses, connection and disconnection of services, as well as changing the tariff plan. In the services section, you can immediately deactivate both forwarding and Autoresponder.

Another option is a USSD request. To accomplish this, the user must dial the symbol combination *299# and then press the call key. After completing the task, the system will send the user a notification that the service has been successfully disabled (do not forget to additionally remove redirection). If this does not happen, you need to check the shutdown again.

A call to the operator or contacting the point of sale will also help resolve the issue. In this case, you need to have a passport with you, since you will have to provide its data to the operator or present the document to the manager, only after that the Megafon employee will turn off all unnecessary services.

Voicemail is a very convenient tool that allows you not to miss a single call and always be aware of what exactly the caller wanted. It is up to the user to decide how useful it is in each specific case; if necessary, connect or, conversely, remove an additional feature; all information on how to do this is presented above.

Regardless of how often recordings are listened to and tuned, the client only pays a daily subscription fee for the service. It is 3 rubles per day for users from any constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
