What is this “MegaFon mail” service, easy version, how to disable it

Modern means of communication are becoming more and more common over time, but e-mail, as a tool for business communication, will not lose its relevance for a long time. Millions of emails are sent and received every day, and there are many convenient and free email services. MegaFon offers subscribers to use the Mail service, which has a light and full version.

Description

The Mail option allows you to send or receive emails and attachments. The company's subscribers can combine up to 5 other email accounts with the service. During registration, an address is issued, which consists of a mobile number, followed by the designation @megafon.mobi. It's easy to remember the address, but you can't change it.

The service can be used by any MegaFon subscriber, without being tied to a tariff. To use the option on your phone, you must have access to the Internet. You can configure notifications that come in the form of regular SMS or in the notification panel. Time and frequency are set in the program menu. If this feature is not needed, then it is easy to disable it for all letters or a specific address. With notifications, the user sees who wrote the letter, what the subject is and a link to read.

Outside Russia and in other cities, the service is available, but traffic is paid according to the tariff. "Mail" is used in 2 main versions: light and full.

Settings

You can make mail settings in this way:

• SMS messages. You can activate them, set round-the-clock receipt and schedule.
• Message filter. In this menu you have the option to configure both white and black lists. This will allow you to receive notifications only from the contacts you select.
• Automatic drawer cleaning. By activating this option, any email will be deleted 30 days after you receive it. Considering that storage space is limited, this feature is useful. You don't need to clean out your mail yourself.
• Event reminders. By enabling this option, you will receive messages about events from the calendar.
• Accounts. This menu column is very important. Here are the default settings in the form of standard Megafon mail.

Easy version

The light version of the option makes it possible to use mail for free; activation is carried out automatically if a new starter package is purchased. This program has several main limitations:

1. The service only works in the MegaFon network, which means you can send letters only to application addresses (mobile [email protected]).
2. Only 3 emails are available for sending per day.
3. The memory capacity is 100 MB, and one message cannot exceed 10 MB.
4. It is impossible to receive more than 50 notifications about a new letter per day.
5. There is no way to add other mailboxes and synchronize with a Google account. There are also other features missing, which include a message filter, notes, contact control, and reminders.

When using the light version, all letters will be stored without restrictions, but when a new letter arrives, data about it can only be received via SMS, without push notifications.

Varieties of Megafon-mail

The national operator provides customers with a full and light version to choose from. The difference is in the set of functions and payment. The basic version has a wide range of functionality, but has a small subscription fee. Easy – free and active by default immediately when purchasing a new starter package. Both can be installed on any tariff plan except Telemetry.

What the service has in common is that it works regardless of the account status. If the package is prepaid and activated at the beginning of the month by replenishment, this is enough. There will be no charges for sending or receiving postal messages. A stripped-down version is installed by those who rarely use mobile soap and keep it in reserve. Those who actively correspond and mail out daily will appreciate the advanced functionality of this e-mail. It looks like this - [email protected].

Full version

The full version of the application opens up a wide range of functionality for MegaFon subscribers. Its cost is 2 rubles per day. The fee is charged automatically every day, but when you first activate the service, you can use a free trial period for a week.

Main features of the full version of the service:

1. The mailbox memory is 500 MB, and the weight of the letter can be up to 25 MB.
2. You can receive up to 200 SMS notifications about new emails per day, and Push notifications are unlimited.
3. Users can link other email accounts and synchronize with Google. It is possible to link an additional 5 email accounts in order to have control over emails from your phone.
4. Subscribers can manage personal contacts by email and phone and synchronize them.
5. The full version offers the ability to use filters, a calendar, reminders and other features.

For MegaFon subscribers there is a cashback bonus program #Spices.

User reviews

Most often, subscribers use the light version of Megafon Mail, since it is provided by the operator for free, and there are more positive reviews about it. Subscribers express the opinion that this is a convenient service; the login is easy to remember, since it corresponds to their phone number.

Few users use the full version of mail and there is a fee for it, but it has significantly more features that users also like. Therefore, the mail service from Megafon has found its consumer in paid and free versions. And negative reviews exist like about all other services, since not all people fully understand the settings, configure the service incorrectly, and then, without understanding it, write negative reviews.

Connection

There are several basic methods for connecting:

1. Through the MegaFon website. To do this, go to the page and click on the connect button. Follow in detail all the instructions that will help you complete the process of registering your email account.
2. Send a text message to service number 5656. Depending on the type of service, the content will be different, but when you send an empty SMS, the full version will be activated. To enable the lightweight series, you need to write the letter “L” or “L”; for full functionality, send “P” or “P”. To enable test mode of the package, you must send “S”.
3. Use service combinations of numbers and symbols. To make an email address and connect a lightweight version of the option, enter the request *656*2# on your phone and make a call to send it. Activation of the full package is carried out using the code *656#, a test period is included. Transfer without test time upon request *656*5#.

The methods described are the main ones, and if difficulties arise, you should contact MegaFon employees in your city. To do this, just take your passport and go to the communication salon. Or call the support operator, who will suggest connection methods and operation of the service.

Mail service from Megafon

Everyone who uses the Internet has email. Without it, it is impossible to register on any site. Sharing files and communicating will also not be easy. The reality is that many people have to have multiple mailboxes. Checking everyone takes a lot of effort and time. There are services that allow you to combine them into one and see all incoming letters together. One of these is Megafon Post.

How to disable the service

If the “Mail” option from MegaFon is not needed, then it should be disabled, especially when using the full version. Deactivation methods:

1. To use the company’s website, after logging into your profile you will need to click on the disconnect button to unsubscribe from the service.
2. Send a text message to 5656 with the text STOP L or STOP P, which will disable the light or full version.
3. Use service requests to deactivate the light version of the *656*0*2# option. The command *656*0*1# disables the full package of services.

If difficulties arise, you should contact MegaFon employees by phone or in a communication salon.

How to use

Let's consider the process of using megaphone mail in stages:

1. There is an incoming call on your number.
2. This call is not accepted for one of the reasons stated above.
3. The caller hangs up or dictates a voice message.
4. Your phone receives an SMS notification from Megafon about a missed call (indicating who specifically it was from) and/or about a left voice message.
5. You view the SMS and, if necessary, call the subscriber back or listen to the message*.

*To listen to the message, you need to call Megafon's voicemail number and then follow the instructions of the system. We wrote more about this topic in another article.

Cleaning your Megafon mailbox

The service does not provide the ability to manually clear voicemail, so instructions on how to clear Megafon voicemail will not be provided here. However, the accumulation of a large number of messages will not happen in any case: each of them is stored for only 24 hours. In addition, if you deactivate the service, the mailbox along with all its contents will be deleted.

How to connect and disconnect

The option is always activated through the subscriber’s personal account (on the website or in the mobile application), and it can be deactivated through the personal account or with a short command. The table below contains instructions on how to connect and disconnect Megafon voicemail.

*If an option is not available on your tariff plan, it will not appear in the “Services and Options” section.

Features of the service

If you use the eMotion service (receive incoming calls through it), there is a possibility that the caller will not hear the mail answering machine greeting and, accordingly, will not be able to dictate a voice message. It’s very simple to check whether “Who Called+” works correctly in parallel with eMotion - call your phone from another number and wait for the answering machine to respond.

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.
