27.08.20192009

Need to go online, but your equipment is not configured appropriately? Pay attention to the wide range of additional options offered by the Megafon mobile operator! Each offer includes a certain set of features, so both a subscriber who needs expanded traffic and a client who plans to check only email or messages on social networks from a smartphone will be able to choose the appropriate package.

Start with settings if you are a new client

For subscribers who have recently switched to MegaFon, you should configure the Internet yourself, either automatically or manually, so that later it works correctly. If your settings are fine, skip this section.

First of all, check if it is available on your mobile phone. To do this, dial the combination *105*4*4#. Of course, it is better for the settings to be performed automatically. Modern smartphone models, for example, are already configured properly, and no manipulations are required on the part of the owner. On older phones, you can order settings by sending an SMS to 5049.

The message is free and must contain the number “1” in the text. Open MegaFon's reply SMS and set the configuration. Manual configuration involves creating a new access point. Go to the iPhone menu, open “Settings” - “Cellular” - “Data Options”.

Owners of phones running Android should open “Connections” - “Mobile networks” - “Access point” - “Add”. On Windows Phone, the Internet is configured in the “Data transfer” section - “Add Internet access point”. Write down:

• APN: internet;
• type - default;
• name: any;
• Username and Password: gdata or blank field;
• MCC: 250;
• MNC: 02.

Call

Connecting Megafon Internet to a phone or other device can be done in this way:

• Open the keyboard;
• Dial the desired combination of numbers;
• Click the call icon;
• Wait for a response and follow the informant's instructions.

It is easy to find out the current number - most often it coincides with the phone number for sending SMS messages. Another way you can use when calling is to call the support service.

Call to operator

Dial 0500 and wait to connect with an operator who will help you do everything necessary for a successful transition to using traffic. In addition, you can ask a specialist what to do if Megafon does not connect to the Internet on your phone.

Please note that the methods described above are relevant for smartphones, routers, modems or tablets. If you want to activate TP for your home network, you need to contact a communication salon or leave a request for a call from a manager through the website.

All MegaFon tariffs with connected Internet for smartphones

MegaFon tariffs with Internet connection for any device

• “Your unlimited for 6 months.” It costs 5000 rubles. With it you have the right to use traffic without restrictions for six months. For calls and SMS, the starter package is unprofitable, because... everything has to be paid separately. And the prices are not the most attractive. It can only be connected via LAN. It is also possible to purchase a SIM card, including on the website megafon.ru;
• “Your unlimited for 12 months.” The tariff is similar to the previous one, with the exception of 2 things: period of use (year), cost (9000 rubles);

The methods for switching to the starter package are standard. USSD code is *510#. SMS must be sent to 05001034 with the number “1” in the text.
