Excerpt from the terms of service
Characteristics Megaphone
The information in the review is relevant for residents of the Moscow region. For other places, before using the service, it is recommended to clarify the information on the official Internet site of the operator, at points of sale or communication shops of this company, as well as by contacting the help desk operator. Using this service, you can notify another subscriber so that he can contact you. This procedure is available for use in case of a negative balance, as well as when it is impossible to make outgoing calls.
The subscriber to whom the call back request was sent will receive a notification asking him to call the subscriber at a specific number. This notification does not come from the telecom operator, but from the sender of the request. The big advantage of the service is that it is provided free of charge to users. As a result, subscribers do not need to pay for sending a request and operating this option. The subscription fee is also not set by the operator.
Attention : cases of fraud are now on the rise, so when you receive a message asking for a call back or payment, make sure that the number in the message actually belongs to a friend or loved one. Megafon is not responsible for calls or payments you make to unknown persons.
Basic information about
/span>
Now we will look at the essence of the service operating in the territory of Moscow and its region - in other regions the conditions may have some changes, so before using the service you should familiarize yourself in detail with the rules in force in your region.
The “Please call me back, please” option helps those subscribers who, due to some circumstances, find themselves with a zero or even a negative phone balance to stay in touch.
“Call me” is a kind of request to call back, sent to another Megafon subscriber in the form of a free message. This SMS does not arrive anonymously - the sender is not the operator, but the subscriber who ordered the request to be reset.
Features of the “Call Me” service
In Megafon, you can send a request to call any number of Russian operators that support the SMS transmission function. The service does not work for numbers of foreign operators.
Interesting video:
The service covers the entire territory of Russia.
The request will also be sent by the subscriber who is in roaming, but at the same time you should remember that the function of incoming calls in roaming is charged and the interlocutor will not call you if there is not enough money in the account to pay for the call.
Ways to block such messages
A call to free number 0500 will help you get rid of too annoying “beggars”.
You can independently add a number to the blacklist on Megafon of a beggar who has overdone such requests - all his messages and calls will disappear. I'll show you how to do this with an example:
- using USSD request and blocking number – *130*+79YYYYYYYYY#;
- the same fate will befall the bore if you send an SMS to 5130, in the text of which you enter the number for cancellation.
Re-enter the code *130*+79YYYYYYYYY#; and send the number again to 5130 in a message - the subscriber will be removed from the black list.
Attention! I would like to warn overly gullible users against a rash response to any such request. Dishonest comrades are sometimes not averse to taking advantage of this opportunity. I advise you to answer only numbers that have absolute trust.
Possible problems
It happens that the received text consists of an incomprehensible set of characters, numbers, and symbols. This is a clear sign that the phone's encryption is not configured properly. Calling the toll-free number 0500 or dialing 8-800-550-05-00 will help you quickly solve this problem. Only by selecting the desired encoding in the language settings can you get rid of such an incident.
