How to connect SMS packages for 100, 300, 600 SMS on Megafon

If you need to constantly communicate via SMS, you should activate messages that can be sent free of charge in any direction. MegaFon offers its customers the use of special messaging services. Using such a service, you can significantly save funds in your account. Any person who uses communication services from MegaFon has the opportunity to activate the option. If we talk about cost, then in terms of calculation it is much cheaper to order a package of messages than to send them according to the tariff schedule.

Before ordering a service, you should decide on the type of package messages. After all, the company has quite a lot of them. The option is also divided into one-time and periodic services. Using a one-time service, the subscriber will receive a package of messages with a fixed number. They are provided for a month for shipment to any destination in Russia. Today MegaFon has 4 SMS services. Below is a detailed description of each option and connection methods.

Description of the “SMS S”, “SMS M” and “SMS L” options:

Immediately after you activate the service, the full cost of the option is debited from your account. For all subsequent months, the fee is written off in one payment at the beginning of the month (no later than the third). If you decide to cancel the service, the subscription fee is not refundable.

Every month the subscriber has the opportunity to send SMS messages that do not harm your traffic packages. These are the SMS messages that are sent to the numbers of mobile providers in your region. After the traffic package is exhausted, each SMS is assessed at standard rates.

The transfer of current traffic balances is not carried over to the next month.

Traffic is accrued when funds for using the service are debited.

Features of the service

Suppose you went on vacation or on a business trip abroad. As mentioned above, outgoing SMS are at roaming prices, and incoming SMS are free. But if after your trip you want to check your accruals and you ask for details, then you have every chance of seeing only the numbers of the SMS centers of your interlocutors. And it won't be a mistake.

In other cases, it will not be possible to remain anonymous: even with the Anti Caller ID option enabled (protection against automatic number identification), the sender will continue to be identified by the recipient.

Also, if for some reason you are interested in recording the text of messages, then they will not help you here either: MegaFon does not save them. So the only hope left is on your own mobile phone.

Service setup

SMS is a service for sending text messages from a mobile device. You will find a detailed description of how to send an SMS in the instructions for your phone, so let’s move on to the settings.

Since this is the main service for all cellular providers, it is available on any mobile device: be it a simple push-button or the most expensive smartphone. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to configure anything to send. Nevertheless, there are also “problems”. So that you can quickly eliminate them, let’s look at the parameters:

1. On most phones, the settings are located in the menu of the same name, and if you look around it a little, you will find the option “Text Message Center” or “SMS Center”. When you go to the section, you will find that it is already filled with the number +79262909090 or +7 926 2909080. If the numbers are different, we change it.
2. Check to see if sending is prohibited in one of the submenus. If you don’t find anything, then to cancel the blocking, dial #330*1111# and reboot the device.

If all points are successfully completed, and your messages do not leave or arrive, then:

• Delete unnecessary messages, free up space;
• Check that the recipient's number is dialed correctly - we advise you to immediately enter them into your address book with the international code of Russia +7, not 8;
• Reboot your device;
• Change your phone or SIM card, then, depending on the situation, we take the device to check or purchase a SIM card;
• Contact Megafon through the operator's 0500 helpline or office and check the status of the service on your number.
