When traveling with a change in time zones, failures in the time counting on the phone and many other circumstances, it may be necessary to find out the exact time in order to get to an important event at the appointed time, catch a plane or not disrupt a business meeting. To obtain such information, the capabilities of a mobile device are quite sufficient. We will dwell in detail on those of them that are available to Megafon subscribers. They can check the time in one of the following ways: use the “Exact Time” service, ask for help from a help desk operator or an exact time service, configure the corresponding parameters in the SIM card menu, or synchronize the phone with the Network time. How exactly to take advantage of these opportunities will be discussed further.

Megafon offers its subscribers the “Exact Time” service, with which you can find out not only the exact time down to the second, but also the time zone, date, day of the week, as well as the time when the sun sets and rises in a certain region. While traveling around the country, you can obtain data on both local time and the difference with the capital. Abroad, the service is also provided, and the subscriber is additionally shown the name of the host country and its capital, the state language and the exchange rate of the local currency against the ruble.

Information is provided upon request; there is no need to activate the service in any way. Every time you need to check the time, the subscriber dials one of the combinations on the phone:

• *122#. Basic character set.
• *155#. Code for subscribers in Moscow and the region.

After pressing the call button, the necessary data will appear on the screen literally immediately.

Important : to use, you do not need an Internet connection, so this method of checking the time is suitable in a situation where it is not possible to go online.

“Exact time” is a paid service . There is no subscription fee, and the user is not bound by any obligations, but for each request, 9.99 rubles are withheld from the subscriber’s mobile account in Moscow and the region. VAT included . To find out prices in other Russian regions, you can visit the mobile operator’s website or call the help desk at 0500. An important advantage of the service is that it can be used abroad without fear of increased costs. The price remains the same as within the country.

The service is provided to all Megafon subscribers - both citizens and companies, regardless of the chosen payment system and tariff plan. To use the service you do not need a modern smartphone; it also works on older phone models. The only limitation for requesting the exact time is blocking of the mobile number due to lack of funds.

Obtaining this information on Beeline

To access the required service, you should call the short number “ 100 ”. After this, the automatic system will report the current time with an accuracy of one second, as well as the date. You need to understand that for such a request the Beeline company will withdraw some money from your mobile phone, although not too much. The cost depends on your tariff plan, region and city of residence, as well as the duration of the call. Tariffing is based on the price of calls to city telephone numbers.

The second method is to call the Beeline subscriber service at 0611 . Mobile operator employees can easily provide this kind of information, although not always. Some Beeline employees will offer you a paid service , because it is not profitable for them to tell you the time.
