How to check the remaining minutes, SMS and Internet on Megafon

MegaFon has developed dozens of options to help save money for its subscribers. These include free minutes. The procedure for their calculation and volume depend on the features of the tariff plan, so it is not possible to say exactly how many there will be. But in any case, understanding how to find out the remaining minutes on MegaFon is important for every owner of a SIM card from the largest Russian telecom operator. By regularly checking your balance and balance, you will protect yourself from thoughtless spending, for example, you will not make calls if there are no free minutes on your account.

Using USSD command

This is the simplest method available to every subscriber. There is no need to connect to the Internet, so it can be used by both those who have modern smartphones or iPhones with touch controls, as well as those who prefer to use proven push-button devices. All you need to do is dial a certain combination on the screen and press the call button.

The easiest way to find out the status of your personal account is by dialing the command *100#. Basic information about the volume of traffic, the number of minutes and SMS that have already been used will be displayed. Once you know the status of your account, you will be able to control how you spend your money, for example, not to call if there are very few minutes.

You can also view your balance by sending a message. It should be empty, although, as practice shows, you can enter information. But since the service is automatic, this will not give anything. Requests are sent to numbers 0001000 or 000888. After that, just wait until you receive an SMS notification in response. It arrives within 1-2 minutes.

The information is displayed immediately on the screen within a few seconds. Sometimes problems occur, especially if the connection leaves much to be desired. If the download takes too long, try typing the combination again and sending the data. Finding out the balances of service packages in this way is completely free for any MegaFon client.

It is impossible to save the data that appears on the screen, unless you immediately take a screenshot and add a photo to the archive.

But you can find out the necessary information in other ways, also through commands. For example, if you type:

• *100*0#, then the remaining balance (regular) will be visible;
• *100*1#, then the screen will display information about discounts on message packages, Internet and minutes that are given monthly to the user;
• *100*2#, then MegaFon will show the status of the bonus balance;
• *100*4#, then information about the bonus account will become available;
• *115*11#, then data about available rewards under MegaFon’s bonus program will appear on the screen.

In general, if you want to find out general information (that is, the number of minutes remaining on your account, how much Internet traffic there is, how many messages you can still use for free, activated bonus points, etc.), dial *558#.

If your phone does not support the Cyrillic alphabet, then to get information about the remaining minutes, dial the combination *100*3#. Check the tariff, find out the remaining Internet and minutes in this way completely free for any subscribers.

How to top up traffic on a MegaFon number?

If the speed of Internet access has sharply decreased or access to the network has become impossible, the first thing you need to do is find out the amount of remaining traffic on the number. In the event that the Internet package has run out, you can connect an additional option.

Additional options for extending traffic in case of expiration of the package:

• “Extend 1 GB.” Connection by combination *370*1*1# ;
• “Extend 5 GB.” Connection using the combination *370*2*1#.

IMPORTANT! If you have run out of free megabytes, then when you connect any of the above options, the amount for it will be debited from your account and the corresponding Internet traffic package will be added.

As you can see, there are quite a few options for determining the balance of available Internet services. And you can check it at any time without spending a lot of time on it.

Through the subscriber's personal account

In this way, any MegaFon client can view the account balance through the browser of a personal computer or smartphone. First, registration takes place on the official website. After that:

• go to the “Service Packages” section;
• view data about the tariff plan, including how many minutes are left, SMS and Internet.

Interestingly, access to the capabilities of your personal account in MegaFon occurs without the Internet. The functionality is somewhat limited, but you can find out how many minutes are left. The advantage is that you do not need to enter passwords and logins to enter your account. All you need is a mobile gadget. To get started, select “Remainings”. This will take you to a menu that has two keys. The first one means “Tariffs and options” - information about traffic balances. The second is MegaFon bonus. By clicking it, you receive information about the minutes that are accrued under your program.

The check is carried out in the same way in the MegaFon mobile application.

How to check the remaining traffic on Megafon?

Megafon offers its customers a wide range of tariffs and services. Among them there are packages that, for a certain subscription fee, contain the corresponding amount of Internet traffic. This traffic can be used for free until the end of the month from the time of connection.

After the free Internet package has ended, but access to the network continues, the number is charged for each megabyte. Or access remains free, but its speed will be minimal.

Thus, in order not to receive an impressive bill for communication services by the end of the month, or to be left without the Internet at the right time, it is necessary to constantly check the megabytes remaining in the package.

Widget on the phone screen

A widget on your phone screen allows you to communicate with MegaFon directly using the menu of your gadget. A convenient function, but you will definitely have to learn the list of commands - without them it is not possible to use. This is a kind of analogue of the SIM menu, only in a simplified form. You need to find the option on your smartphone and drag it to the main screen (it is not necessary to complete the item). After this, select the MegaFon mobile operator item and go to the “Balance” tab. The information is displayed immediately, you need to wait a maximum of 2-3 seconds.

How to check via service command

This is a free way to get data on the current offer. The client does not need access to the Internet; he only needs to have a smartphone with him. To clarify the remaining scope of services, you should perform the following steps:

• a section for dialing a number opens on the cell phone;
• dial the service combination *558# on the keyboard;
• the request is sent using the call button on the mobile phone.

Immediately after sending the combination, information about how much quota is available to the client will appear on the smartphone screen. In the same message, the subscriber will learn the provided SMS and traffic quota.

Call to operator

Calling an operator can hardly be called the most convenient option. The fact is that there is no direct line for communication, so the subscriber will need to go to the menu, following the voice prompts. This takes some time.

A single telephone has been installed for landlines and mobile phones. You can contact operators at 88005500500 or simply 0500 (from a mobile phone). The call is completely free. But if you make calls while roaming, then fees will naturally be charged. Its size depends on what tariff plan you have.

The greatest rush is observed from 7.00 to 11.00 and from 17.00 to 22.00. Waiting times are increasing. If you want to contact the operator as quickly as possible, then call during the intervals.

Find out the remaining Internet traffic via USSD request

MegaFon has a universal command *558#, showing the balances of all packages. The information is sent via SMS message. The notification indicates the name of the tariff plan, all tariff packages and additional batteries that may be included on the subscriber's number. The screenshot below shows that the subscriber has the “All inclusive L” tariff. In addition to the main packages, there is also “Auto-renewal”, bonus megabytes for using a MegaFon bank card and an additional package “Plus 20 GB for All Inclusive”.

Office visit

Visiting the office is also not a very convenient option. You will have to look for the nearest MegaFon building, and in small towns there may not be one at all. But if for some reason you cannot find out the number of remaining minutes yourself, then contact the office staff.

You will need to provide your mobile phone number, as well as proof of identity (this could be a passport, driver's license or other document). The operator personally tells you about the account status free of charge.

Available ways to obtain information

Each client can view the remaining minutes on Megafon's SIM card without the help of an operator. The company offers the following options:

• consider the quota quantity simply through an account on the portal;
• the remaining packet can be seen by sending the code combination;
• the subscriber is given the opportunity to view the parameters in the mobile application;
• You can find out how much of the limit is left for communication by calling the company;
• the user can check the balance of the tariff at the company's office.

Each method provides access to data for free. It is worth considering options for obtaining TP parameters in more detail.

Other verification methods

An affordable and fast way is to send a text message. You need to open the appropriate request form (nothing is written in the messenger), send a blank message to 0500 (this is the contact center number). The response message will indicate the number of minutes and tariff plan.

The best way is to request the number *558#. This method is fast and absolutely free, works on any phone. It also takes a minimum of time to send a message to number 0500. But calling the hotline or contacting the office will, of course, be effective, but to implement them you will have to spend significantly more of your time.
