How to disable the Call to all countries service
If, after using the service for a long time, you no longer need its functions, and you do not have relatives and friends abroad, then it is advisable to disable it so that the subscription fee is not debited from your phone balance. To disable it, the operator has provided the following methods:
- The short request command will help you cancel this service. The combination of characters is the same as that used to activate the service * 105 * 0080 # . Send this command by pressing the call button.
- The most popular method is the Personal Account, called the subscriber self-service service. Using it, you can perform any connection or disconnection operation in the appropriate sections.
- Using the above mobile application “ Megafon Personal Account ”, you can easily disable any service, similar to the Personal Account on the operator’s website. But you don’t need a computer for this; you just need to use a regular smartphone.
- Contact a call center specialist at the phone numbers indicated above. The specialist will disable the service on your number. There is one condition: you need your passport data or the control word specified by you in the agreement with the operator.
- Go to the nearest Megafon service office or communication store and ask the office employee to deactivate the service. You may need your passport, with which you need to fill out an application to disconnect the service. If the number is registered in someone else's name, the owner's power of attorney or his direct presence will be required. To quickly find the address of a communication shop, use the link provided in the connection methods.
Other ways to disable the service
Here are a few more options for disabling:
- The voice menu is also ready to help you disable the service. To do this, call the short number 0500981 , which will give you the opportunity to refuse the service and debit money from your phone account. The answering machine will give you instructions to turn off the Call All Countries .

How to connect Megafon roaming in Ukraine
Megafon in Ukraine automatically connects to partners' coverage. To check what prices will be when traveling:
- go to the official website of the provider;
- go to the “Travel” tab and scroll down the page and select the “Roaming, goodbye” option;
- select the desired one from the list of countries;
- wait for it to load and see what tariff you can connect to.
IP telephony is the cheapest way
To make truly profitable calls to any Ukrainian phone number, we recommend paying attention to IP telephony technology. In addition, you don’t have to spend money on purchasing additional accessories for communication. However, if you wish, you can separately buy a special VOIP phone or adapter for more comfortable communication. If you don’t want to spend money on additional equipment, then you can limit yourself to the following:
- a computer with a stable Internet connection;
- headset with microphone;
- a program installed on the PC through which calls will be made;
- a paid account with a pre-selected IP operator.
When studying offers from companies providing such services, you should take a close look at the tariffs and choose the most acceptable offer . At the same time, prices for calls on some similar sites are much higher than those of mobile operators. Therefore, before registering and making payment, it is recommended to study all offers.
You also need to pay attention to the mobile or landline operator of the Ukrainian subscriber you need to call. This is due to the fact that companies involved in IP telephony often do not set a single price for communication with all operators in a particular country. So a call to a landline number can cost on average 5 rubles per minute. Conversations with subscribers of mobile operators will be a little more expensive.
Useful option for calls to Ukraine
The service that Megafon subscribers can receive is called “Call Ukraine+”.
The option is intended for those who often call in this direction. It allows you to save your balance and make calls to users of the 3 most popular Ukrainian operators. With Megafon, calls to Ukraine can become absolutely accessible if you activate this service. The option is available for users of the “Warm Welcome” tariff. The fact that calls can be made on favorable terms only to subscribers of 3 operators expands the opportunities for Ukrainians as well. Today, more and more residents of Ukraine have a phone with 2 SIM cards. This means that, if desired, they can purchase the necessary card to always be in touch with relatives and Russian friends. The tariff has a low cost for making calls, so now when talking you can not look at the hours and minutes, but calmly enjoy the conversation.
Megafon in Ukraine offers to buy one of three available SIM cards so that family and friends from Russia can always contact them. But you don’t often have to buy cards, because the operators specified in the connection agreement already have the majority of voice users.
